FLAW SIZE/VIBRATION ANALYSIS (TAC NO 69344)
Consumers Power Company committed to provide a steam generator tube flaw size/vibration analysis for NRC review.
Attached is the analysis, entitled "Palisades Steam Generator Tube Crack Growth During a Steam Line Break".
This analysis evaluates the potential for an existing tube crack to grow to critical crack size as a result of a steam line break.
As summarized in the attached report, the maximum throughwall crack size which can exist in a steam generator tube without bursting due to the internal pressure is 187° of the circumference.
The maximum crack size expected following a steam line break event, assuming existing circumferential throughwall cracks of 90° or less, is 117° of the circumference.
The maximum expected crack size is much smaller than the critical crack size and, therefore, a steam line break event is not expected to cause a fluid-elastic vibration induced tube failure.
