Dear Mr. Case:

Mr. Don K. Davis, Acting Chief of Operating Reactors Branch 42, in his September 14, 1977 letter to us, requested

,that we supply detailed information on the steam generator and reactor coolant pump support materials and our own evaluation of the fracture toughness and potential for lamellar tearing of the support materials. Attachment X is our response to the above request. Specifications for detailing, fabrication and delivery of equipment supports are given in Attachment XX. Attachment XII and Attachment XV present mill cex'tifications and support drawings respectively, Please note that ASTM-A572-70a material was not used in the fabrication of the steam generator and xeactor coolant pump supports. The materials used were ASTM-A36, and A588.

We xequired the use of A-588 material for more critical members.

A-588 requires fine grain practice,,for improved toughness.

Impact. tests of both A-36 and A-588 were specified to assure that, good toughness was obtained.

Nr. Case , ovember 23, 1977 Page 2 Based on the through thickness mechanical tests that were required by our specification, the material would have a low propensity to lamellar tearing. Xf any cracks developed due to welding stress during fabrication, these materials with their good toughness would have a low probability that cracks would propagate. As can be seen from the Attachments, we have adequately designed and used material that will not be subject to lamellar tearing.

Question l:

Provide engineering drawings of the steam generator and the reactor coolant pump supports sufficient to show the geometry of all principal elements. Provide a listing of materials of construction.

Answer:

Attachment IV is ',a set. of engineering drawings of the D.C. Cook NSSS. The materials used in constructi on are shown with numbers on these drawings. These numbers are identified as per the ASTM specification number, yield point, material thickness group, and the testing required and are summarized in Table M9-1 of attachment II.

QUESTION 2:

Specify the detailed design loads used in the analysis of the supports. For each loading condition (nor-and'esign mal, upset, emergency and faulted), provide the calculated maximum stress in each principal elements of the support system and the corresponding allowable stresses.

ANSWER:

The detailed design loads as provided by Westinghouse for the steam generator in report SD104 are given in the first 13 tables.

Member stress levels ex ressed as a percenta e of the allowable s ress or e upper and lower suppor s are prove e xn a es an Figures an are prove. e o x en a-men s of the steam generator supports. The loads for the Reactor Coolant pump supports are provided in tables 16 through 26.

Tables 18 through 26 include both the loads and the margin of safety under the faulted condition for the R.C. Pump supports.

Figure 3 is provided to identify the members. Stress levels for the R.C. Pump supports for the load cases normal, upset and emergency are provided in Table 27. Figure 3 identifies the elements for Table 27. The allowable stresses for each load condition and a description of the loading conditions themselves are provided in the following paragraphs.

Normal Condition Thermal, weight, and pressure forces obtained from the RCL analysis acting on the support structures are combined algebra-ically. The combined load component vector is multiplied by member influence coefficient matrices to obtain all force com-ponents at each end of each member. The interaction equations of. AISC-69 are used with allowable specified limits.

U set Condition OBE support forces are assigned all possible sign combinations and, in each case, are added algebraically to normal condition forces. The interaction and stress equations of AISC-69 are used with allowable specified limits.

Emergency Condition DBE loads are assigned all possible sign combinations, combined with normal loads, and are used in the above stress and inter-action equations. For this loading condition, limiting values of 1.5 times allowables are used. This limit represents a stress of about, 0.9 yield and provides a margin against buckling from 10 percent for short stocky members whose buckling mode is highly inelastic to a margin of 30 percent for members that buckle elastically.

Faulted Condition LOCA support structure loads are obtained in time-history form and are combined with emergency condition loads. Stress and interaction equations are solved for each time step within the time-history ..

The interaction equations of AISC-69 are adjusted such that stresses "in the support are limited to yield with the exception of the reactor coolant pump supports. Pump support members subjected 'to both compressive and tensile loads are controlled by deflection criteria associated with member failure.

The LOCA (loss of coolant accident) breaks referenced in the following tables are define'd as follows:

a. UH Unbroken loop time-history dynamic analysis due to DEC LOCA in the not leg.
b. HL DEC LOCA at the center of the straight run of the hot leg.

- DEC LOCA at the steam-generator inlet nozzle.

d. SGO DEC LOCA at the steam-generator outlet nozzle.
e. XLHR DEC LOCA at the center of the horizontal straight run of the crossover leg.
f. PIB DEC LOCA at the reactor-'coolant-pump suction.
g. CL DEC LOCA at the center of the straight run of the cold leg.
h. Sl SEL LOCA at center of steam-generator outlet elbow (forces toward RV)
i. S2 Same as h, except force away from RV.

ji UC - Unbroken loop time-history dynamic analysis due to DEC LOCA in cold leg.

k. SL Steam-'line break DE. Note that the steam-line break is not truly a LOCA; however, was run to determine its effect on the RCL it and because it is the controlling load for the SG upper support.

Nhere a double ended circumferential break is abbreviated DEC and a single ended longitudinal is abbreviated 'SEL.

In all cases the faulted condition controls the design. The maximum stress level found for the faulted condition for the steam generator lower lateral support was 84% of the maximum

permissible. The steam generator upper lateral support is stressed to 85.1% of the maximum permissible under the faulted condition. The reactor coolant pump supports were modeled as nonlinear elastic-plastic elements and thus the failure criterion is deflection. The maximum allowable deflection is determined from deflection criteria associated with failure and to maintain the RCL piping system within its faulted limits. The margin of safety for these supports is defined as:

margin of safety = 1 maximum deflection maximum allowable deflection The minimum margin of safety obtained in the analysis was 0.5.

Question 3 Describe how all heavy section intersecting weldments were designed to minimize restraintand lamellar tearing. Specify the actual section thickness in the structure and provide details of typical joint design. State the maximum design stress in the through thickness direction of plates and elements of rolled shapes.

Answer:

The D.C. Cook NSSS drawings provide both typical joint details and section thickness. The design of the heavy section intersecting weldments was made under the provisions of the 1969 AISC code. The joint details are therefore consistant with current practice in structural design. plates were tested in the through gauge thickness. Reduction of area was generally above 20 percent indicating good resistance to lamellar tearing. Calculated stress leveliin the through thickness direction is 65/o of yield. Materials that were subjected to transverse stress, classified as 3B in the drawings, were subjected to ultrasonic examination along all edges and on a specified grid in accordance with A-435. The area under all welds on through thickness extending to 3" on either side of the weld was 100% ultrasonically examined. Welding was required to be performed in accordance with AISC code and ASME (B&PV) Code Section VIII. The joints were stress relieved with post weld heat treatment in accordance with ASME code requirements. The above requirements on the heavy section intersecting weldments will minimize the possibility of lamellar tearing.

Question 4:

Specify the minimum, operating temperature for the supports and describe the extent to which material temperatures have been measured at variouspoints.'on the supports during the operation of the plant.

Answer:

Technical specifications for Donald C. Cook Nuclear plant require that the air temperature in the region where the supports are located should be maintained between 60 F and 120~P during operation. No actual temperature measurements of the supports have been taken during operation of the plant. Both A-36 and A-588~

materials were specified to pass a Charpy V-Notch test of 15 ft-lbs.

at 30 P. Section 16.2 of the attached specification no DCC-CE-112 QCN (attachmentIX) requires that the impact test be performed in conformance with paragraph SA-310 of ASME Section II Code. The test results indicate that all critical materials were Charpy tested and met the above requirement.

uestion 5:

Specify all the materials used in the supports and the extent which mill certificate data aLe available. Describe any supplemental requirements such as melting practice, toughness tests and through thic'kness tests specified. Provide the results of all tests that may better define properties of the materials used.

Answer:

The materials used in the support are described I i:n Table M9-1 of Attachment. II. Mill certification reports are available for all materials used in fabrication,.

Typical mill ci rtifications are presented in attacbmentQzx.

Charpy-V Notch test were performed to determine strain rate and temperatures. Ultrasonic examinati.on was,used to detect plate laminations. Section 15.5 of LAttachment ZI requires that the ultrasonic inspection be performed subject to the mote restrictive requirements of the following two documents: (1)

Question 6 Describe the welding procedures and any special welding process requirements that were specified to minimize residual stress, weld and heat affected zone cracking and lamellar tearing of the base metal.

Answer Details of welding proce'dures are presented in Section 13.0 through 13.9 of Attachment ~XI. Table W 13-9 specifies the requirements for welding of A-558. All materials were welded based on approved welding procedures and all welders were qualified in accordance with ASME B 6 PV Code.

Describe all inspections and non destructive tests that were performed on the supports during their fabrications and installation.

( as well as any additional inspections that, were performed during the life of the facility).

Answer Section 15 of AttachmentII describes requirements for non destructive testing of,welds. All welds were examined volumetrically by radiographic or 'bj ultrasonic methods where practical. If volumetric examination could not be performed welds were surface examined by either magnetic particle or penetrant methods. During erection, all fieldswelds were magnetic particle examined, in accordance with AWS Dl.'1-72 plus an intermediate root pass examination of welds over 3/8 " thick.

8. Evaluation of the fracture toughness of the steam generator and reactor coolant um su ort materials The NSSS specification requires that A36,material, he modified to fine grade practice. This is a steelmaking'process which improves the notch toughness properties. The A588 material was purchased in the normalized condition. This guarantees ferritip fine grain size, lowers the ductile to brittle transition, temperature and improves toughness. Both A36 and A588 materials were specified to pass a Charpy V-Notch test of 15 ft. lbs. at +30" F. The operating temperature of these supports is far in excess of the specified test temperatures.

Therefore, these materials will be subject to temperatures above the transition temperature.

Question no. 6 of the NRC letter asks for a description of processes which were utilized to minimize residual stresses, weld and heat affected zone cracking and lamellar tearing of the base metal. The Cook NSSS specification specified the following welding requirements to eliminate these concerns.

l. Welding was performed in accordance with ASME B & PV Code to assure adequate preheat and postheat temperatures.
2. Low hydrogen electrodes and properly dried',flux for submerged arc, welds, were specified.

The NRC's concern regarding lamellar tearing was initiated by the North"Anna Station cracking. Materials used for supports at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant were ultrasonically examined and impact tested, and are, therefore, less susceptable to lamellar tearing.
