NuScale Response to NRC Request for Additional Information eRAI No. 8935 NuScale Power, LLC 1100 NE Circle Blvd., Suite 200 Corvalis, Oregon 97330, Office: 541.360.0500, Fax: 541.207.3928 www.nuscalepower.com

Response to Request for Additional Information Docket No.52-048 eRAI No.: 8935 Date of RAI Issue: 08/11/2017 NRC Question No.: 03.07.02-26 10 CFR 50 Appendix S requires that the safety functions of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) must be assured during and after the vibratory ground motion associated with the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) through design, testing, or qualification methods.

a. In FSAR Subsection 3.7.2.5.2, the applicant indicates that the ISRS from the triple building model were considered for the design of SSCs in the RXB but not for the CRB. It is expected that the structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) effect would be more pronounced on a lighter building (CRB) than a neighboring heavier building (RXB). The applicant is requested to provide justification for not considering the ISRS from the triple building model for the design of SSCs in the CRB.
b. Figures 3.7.2-106 and 107 in the FSAR present the Reactor Building ISRS for floor at EL 24 and EL 25, respectively, which indicates noticeable difference in ISRS (both in shape and amplitude) for an elevation difference of only 1 foot. The applicant is requested to discuss the factors contributing to this observed difference.

NuScale Response:

a.

The broadened floor in-structure response spectra (ISRS) enveloping both the triple building model (which includes structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) effects) and standalone CRB models are provided in this response. Based on the ISRS comparison between the two models, it is concluded that SSSI does have an effect on the ISRS. Thus, the current CRB ISRS plots NuScale Nonproprietary

shown in FSAR Tier 2, Figures 3.7.2-117 through 3.7.2-122, Revision 2, will be replaced with broadened floor ISRS enveloping the two models.

Comparison of CSDRS ISRS between Standalone CRB and Triple Building Models The broadened, 5% spectrally damped ISRS due to the CSDRS inputs are compared, in Figures 1 through 18, between standalone and triple building models. As can be seen in the ISRS comparisons, the SSSI, which is accounted for in the analysis by using the triple building model, has a significant effect on the ISRS.

The selected nodes of the standalone CRB model on the five floors and roof are provided in Table 1. The mapping of the 42 selected nodes of the standalone CRB model with the equivalent nodes in the triple building model is provided in Table 2.

The broadened floor ISRS provided in this response envelop the following analysis cases:

  • ISRS due to CSDRS Inputs
1. Standalone CRB model and triple building model.
2. Uncracked and cracked concrete conditions.
3. Soil Types 7, 8, and 11.
4. Structural Damping: 4%.
5. Five CSDRS-compatible seismic inputs: Capitola, Chi-Chi, El Centro, Izmit, Yermo.
  • ISRS due to CSDRS-HF Inputs
1. Standalone CRB model and triple building model.
2. Uncracked and cracked concrete conditions.
3. Soil Types 7 and 9.
4. Structural Damping: 4%.
5. One CSDRS-HF-Compatible Seismic Input: Lucerne.

Floor ISRS due to CSDRS Inputs The floor ISRS due to the CSDRS and CSDRS-HF inputs enveloping all cases mentioned at the beginning of this response, and floor nodes provided in Tables 1 and 2, are provided with the FSAR markup accompanying this response.

b.

The ISRS in Figure 3.7.2-107 (El. 24'), is an envelope of three node locations along the exterior wall on the north face. These locations provide a good representation of the corridors surrounding the pool. The ISRS in Figure 3.7.2-108 (El. 25'), is an envelope of twenty-two (22) interior nodes in the pool region. The factors contributing to the difference in shape and amplitude of the ISRS include variations in basemat stiffness and the dynamic response of the interior components (NPM, interior walls, pool water, etc.).

Impact on DCA:

FSAR Tier 2, Figures 3.7.2-117a through 3.7.2-122b have been revised as described in the response above and as shown in the markup provided in this response.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Seismic Design The ISRS corresponding to each main floor of the CRB identified below are provided on the listed figures. The governing ISRS envelop the ISRS taken from node locations on the corners of the buildings to capture the torsional and rocking components.

These time history motions are applied to the building models as input to the SASSI2010 analysis. For the desired output (ISRS, forces and moments, displacements, etc.) the responses for the structure are combined using square root of the sum of the squares in conformance with RG 1.92, Combining Modal Responses and Spatial Components in Seismic Response Analysis Rev. 2.

3.7.2.7 Combination of Modal Responses Modal combination is not utilized for the analysis of the RXB or CRB. These structures are evaluated using SASSI2010 finite element models. SASSI2010 utilizes time history analysis in the frequency domain in which the equations of motion are solved for the soil and structural elements.

3.7.2.8 Interaction of Non-Seismic Category I Structures with Seismic Category I Structures A failure of a nearby structure could adversely affect the Seismic Category I RXB and Seismic Category I portions of the CRB. These nearby structures are assessed (or analyzed if necessary) as described below to ensure that there is no credible potential for adverse interactions. Figure 1.2-4 provides a site plan showing the standard plant layout. The non-Seismic Category I structures that are adjacent to the Seismic Category I RXB and CRB are:

  • RWB (Seismic Category II), adjacent to RXB Tier 2 3.7-140 Draft Revision 3

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Seismic Design The difference in results between operation with twelve NPMs and operation with fewer NPMs in place is small and within the capacity of the building design. Site-specific configurations, outside of the scope of the presented 12 NPM and 7 NPM cases, require additional analysis to be performed by the COL applicant.

RAI 03.07.02-8 COL Item 3.7-10: A COL applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant design certification will perform a site-specific configuration analysis that includes the Reactor Building with applicable configuration layout of the desired NuScale Power Modules. The COL applicant will confirm the following are bounded by the corresponding design certified seismic demands:

RAI 03.07.02-8, RAI 03.08.04-23S2

1) The in-structure response spectra of the standard design at the foundation and roof. See FSAR Figure 3.7.2-107 and Figure 3.7.2-108 for foundation in-structure response spectra and Figure 3.7.2-113 for roof in-structure response spectra.

RAI 03.07.02-8, RAI 03.08.04-23S2

2) The maximum forces in the NuScale Power Module lug restraints and skirts.

RAI 03.08.04-23S1, RAI 03.08.04-23S2

3) The site-specific in-structure response spectra for the NuScale Power Module at the skirt support will be shown to be bounded by the in-structure response spectra in Figure 3.7.2-156 and Figure 3.7.2-157. The site-specific in-structure response spectra for the NuScale Power Module at the lug restraints will be shown to be bounded by the in-structure response spectra in Figure 3.7.2-158 through Figure 3.7.2-163.

RAI 03.07.02-8, RAI 03.08.04-23S2

4) The maximum forces and moments in the east and west wing walls and pool walls. See FSAR Table 3.7.2-32.

RAI 03.08.04-23S1, RAI 03.08.04-23S2

5) The site-specific in-structure response spectra for the fuel storage racks will be shown to be bounded by the in-structure response spectra in Figure 3-6 through Figure 3-14 of TR-0816-49833.

RAI 03.08.04-23S1, RAI 03.08.04-23S2

3.7.2.9.2 Foundation Uplift Foundation uplift did not occur in either deeply embedded structure. The evaluation is provided in Section 3.8.5.

3.7.2.10 Use of Constant Vertical Static Factors Constant vertical static factors are not used in the design of the Seismic Category I and II structures. Vertical seismic loads are generated from the SASSI2010 analysis.

3.7.2.11 Method Used to Account for Torsional Effects Inertial torsional effects are inherently considered in the seismic analysis using a 3D finite element model with backfill soil. The potential for accidental torsion is considered insignificant due to physical geometry of the structures which are deeply embedded with most mass at the foundation. Within the RXB the two largest masses are the pool and the NPMs.

RAI 03.07.02-9 The element demand forces and moments obtained from SASSI2010 due to east-west and north-south CSDRS (and CSDRS-HF) inputs have been increased by 5 percent to account for accidental torsion. The total demand forces and moments are obtained using SRSS, as shown below.
