ACNGS-PSAR 3.8 DESIGN OF CATEGORY I STRUCTURES 3.8.1 CONCRETE CONTAINMENT The Mark III Containment Complex does not utilize a concrete Containment.

The primary Containment will be a free standing steel vessel. The drywell is enclosed by the steel Containment Vessel which, in turn, is enclosed and protected by the Reactor Shield Building. The Reactor Shield Budiling will l be designed as a Category I structure for earthquakes, tornado and external missile loading conditions. Due to the fact that the Reactor Shield Build-ing is not classified as a Class I pressure vessel it will be discussed under Section 3.8.4, "Other Category I Structures." The steel Containment Vessel and the drywell will be covered under Section 3.8.2 and 3.8.3, respectively.

3.8.2 STEEL CONTAINMENT SYSTEM 3.8.2.1 Physical Description 3.8.2.1.1 General The steel Containment Vessel (Containment), including all its penetrations, is a low leakage steel shell which is designed to withstand the effects of the postulated accidents and to confine the postulated resulting release of radioactive material. The functional requirements of the Containment vessel and the basis of the design pressures are discussed in detail in Section 6.2.1.

Features of the Containment vessel are shown in Figures 3.8-1 and 3.8-2.

54 The free standing steel Containment Vessel is a cylindrical pressure vessel with a hemispherical dome and a leaktight steel bottom. The bottom seal plate is welded both to an embedded grid in the mat and to the Con-tainment vessel walls providing a leaktight bottom. The vessel internal diameter is 120 feet, and the total height is approximately 204 feet. The l54 cylindrical portion of the vessel is adequately anchored to the building mat, but above this vessel is free standing with no physical links to the Shield Building of internal structures. An annular space is provided between the Containment and the Shield Building.

The lower portion of the vessel cylinder and a portion of the vessel bottom liner form two of the boundaries of the pressure Suppre , ion Pool which is discussed in Section 3.8.3.1.

The cer':ainme nt shell provides vertical support for a number of inter-mediate plat forms, the support brackets for which are designed with sliding bases to prevent any restraint in the radial and lateral directions.

Figure 3.8-1 "Section B" shows the design details of the sliding bases. 1 Lubrite type bearings, as manufactured by Merriman Incorporated or an Q3.

approved alternate, will be an integral part of the sliding base. The 17 maximum coef ficient of friction is expected to be 0.15. The selection of slide bearings will also be based up i the Containment service environment (see Section 3.11 for temperature, humidity and radiation requirements) ac (U)-Update 3.8-1 Am. No. 54, 12/20/79 1636 134

well as loading conditions. Horizontal movements, both for thermal and seismic conditions will be provided after the final analysis is completed.

A 125 ton polar bridge crane will be aupported directly by the Containment shell.

Two personnel access locks with double interlocked sealtight doors and one flanged and bolted sealtight equipment hatch will be provided for access into the Containment.

Containment mechanical, electrical and other penetrations as well as the design criteria for their internals are presented below. The nozzles for these penetrations will be designed and fabricated with the Containment.

3.8.2.1.2 Containment Penetrations a) Design Bases Containment penetrations will be designed to maintain containment itegrity during normal operation of the plant in the event of a LOCA. All Containment penetrations will be designed to meet the requirements of Class MC components of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III. Penetrations will be designed in accord-54 ance with NRC General Design Criterion 53 of 10CFR50 Appendix A and in addition will be designed to meet the following considera-tions:

1) Ability to withstand the maximum pressure which could occur due to the postulated rupture of any pipe inside the Containment
2) Ability to withstand the jet forces associated with the flow from a postulated rupture of the pipe in the penetration and maintain the integrity of the Containment
3) Ability to accommodate thermal and mechanical stresses en-countered in normal operation and other modes of operation and testing.

b) Electrical Penetrations Containment electrical penetrations will be used to pass signal, control and power cables into and out of the Containment, annulus 1 and Shield Building.

The penetration assemblies will be of the split-canister type or flange header plate type and will be designed to accommodate the primary containment nozzles. Upon insertion of the first section of the penetration assembly into the containment nozzle, a field weld will be performed and thus a pressure seal will be established be-tween the steel vessel and the canister or head.r plate. Primary penetration assemblies will be designed to comply with IEEE-317-1976. 54 3.8-2 Am. No. 54, 12/20/79 m .-

would not occur simultaneously with the loads "Y." which are for a pipe break-J ing at a penetration.

54 The intent of load combinations (e) 14 and (f) 21 is to cover the design of local areas around penetrations for any pipe break postulated to occur at a 35 penetration. In such a case, design accident loads (pressure, temperature, LC) and fluid) would not be acting simultaneously on the overall vessel. Th-loads "Y" which would be acting at the penetration already include the thermal effects on the penetration of the postulated pipe rupture (see definition item (g) in Section 3.8.2.3.1).

Local areas will be designed by investigating the applicable loads combined as in the above listed loading cases. Local areas to be investigated in-clude penetration nozzles and tha surrounding shell, anchorage details, crane runway and floor framing brackets, and the dome knuckle. Investigations of these are discussed further in Section 3.8.2.4.

3.8.2.3.2.1 Bottom Liner The containment bottom liner plate will be designed in accordance with the applicable rules listed in the ACI-ASME (ACI-359), Division 2 Code Issued in January 1975. It will also be designed in accordance with selected sec-tions of ASME Code,Section III, Division 1, Subsection NE applicable to strength, buckling and low cycle fatigue for cases where SRV negative 54 pressure occurs. The load combinations shown in Table 3.8 ' are appli-cable to the liner plate design except that load factors for all load cases shall be taken to equal to 1.0.

3.8.2.4 Design and Analysis Proceedures The design and analysis cf the Containment will be the responsibility of the selected containment vendor. The scope of the vendor's responsibility includes the design and analysis of the vessel shell and bottom liner, the vessel anchorage, the crane runway, dome plat forms, intermediate floor support seats, personnel locks, equipment hatch, and penetration nozzles.

The penetration internals discussed in Section 3.8.2.1.2 are not included.

The vessel v ndor will be required to report fully on the actual completed design and analysis, and a sumnary of this will be available for the FSAR.

Containment Vessel design and analysis procedures will vary somewhat according to the selected vendor. However, the followinn discussion rep-resents, in general, a typical example of the approaches utilized, and, in i several areas, it represents specific requirements. q3, 20 (C)-Consistency 3.8-10 Am.

ACNGS- PSAR 3.8.3.7.1.1 High Pressure Structural Proof Test This test will be started after the temperature inside and outside the dry-well has been maintained at 60 F or higher for the previous 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

During this test, the temperature inside and outside the drywell shall be maintained above 60 F.

A temporary bank of air compressors will be used to pressurize the drywell.

The initial step in the test will be to raise the drywell pressure to 10 f; 1 psig and hold for at least one hour. During this period, the drywell and containment pressure and temperature will be monitored along with the air flow rate from the compressors into the drywell. The leak rate will be determined in a gross manner using the air inflow information.

A walk thru gross visual and noise inspection will be made on the exposed exterior surfaces of the drywell. Particular attention will be paid to discontinuities such as the air lock, equipment hatch, and steam and feedwater line penetrations.

During the second step, the drywell pressure will be raised to 20 + 1 psig, and the one-hour hold, measurements, and inspections will be performed as described for the 10 psig hold period.

The final step will be to raise the drywell pressure to 115 percent of its design value or 34.5 psig. The pressure shall be maintained with f; 1 54 psig of this value for at least one hour while the drywell pressure and temperature and air inflow is monitored and the visual inspection completed.

The structural acceptance criteria is no visual evidence of gross structural failure as determined by the ability of the structure to meet the subsequent drywell leak rate tests.

In the event that the drywell is a prototype drywell,* it will be provided with instrumentation to measure strains and radial deflections as follows:

1. Strain Measurements Strain gauges will be placed at or near the inner and outer sufaces of the drywell wall at two azimuths as follows:

32 No. of Elevations Locations 1 Vent region in the steel portion of the cylindrical drywell wall

  • Prototype drywell. A prototype drywell is defined as one that incorporates a new or unusual design feature (which, as determined by analysis, causes the drywell to respond structurally in a significantly di f ferent manner than previous designs), in part or in full, that has not yet been confirmed by a test on a prototype drywell with appropriate ins t rume nt ation .

ACNGS-PSAR No. of Elevations Location 1 Mid-height of the drywell wall above the steel section where the drywell wall is of reinforced concrete construction.

Strain gauges will not be provided at the mid plane or neutral axis of the wall because they provide limited information for the low strain levels that are predicted.

2. Deflection Measurements Instrumentation will be prcvided to obtain measurements of radial deflections of the drywell wall at three azimuths as follows:

No. of Elevations Location i Vent region in the steel portion of the 32 cylindrical drywell wall 1 Midheight of drywell wall 1 Top of drywell wall The measurement locations selected for the test shall include points of varying stiffness characteristics such that an overall representative deflection pattern can be obtained.

In the event that the drywell is a prototype drywell, a detailed 35(C) description of the instrumentation, measurement locations, measurement tolerances, and predicted responses will be provided twelve months before the test is scheduled to be performed.

If, however, the drywell is not a prototype drywell and if the strains and deflections measured on the drywell which is an acceptable prototype correlate satisfactorily with analytical predictions, then neither strain nor radial deflection-measuring instrumentation will be provided on drywell 35(C) and the testing described above which is applicable solely to prototype drywells will not be performed on the ACNGS unit.

3.8.3.7.1.2 High Pressure Leak Rate Test 30 Immediately following the high pressure structural proof test, the drywell pressurization sources will be shutdown and redace the crywell pressure 54 to its design value of 30 psig. The change in drywell pressure and temperature will be monitored for the next 30 minutes.

The drywell pressure and temperature decay information wyll be used to establish that the drywell leak rate is less than the allowable value.

The drywell air flow rate from the one-hour structural test holding period will be used as a gross check on the drywell leak rate.

ACNGS-PSAR 3.9.2.2 Design Loading Combinations The design loading combinations conside red in the & sign of ASME Code Class 2 and 3 components are categorized as Normal, Upse t, Emergency or Faulted plant conditions in Table 3.9-2. Additional loading combinations for 54 piping in tie suppression pool area, however, are pre sented in Chapter 7 of Pav. 2 of the Containment Structures Design Report. Applicable stre ss limits for piping, vessels, tanks, pumps and valves are given for each condition in Table 3.9-3.

3.9.2.3 Design Stress Limits Stress limits given in Table 3.9-3 are based on elastic & formation for all conditions.

3.9.2.4 Analytical and Empirical Me thods for Design of Pumps and Valve s The design stress limits given in Table 3.9-3 for ASME Class 2 or 3 pumps and valves are selected to prevent excessim deformation which could impair the operability of the components. Manufacture rs shall be required, in the component specification, to submit te st procedures and or analytical methods to demonstrate that components will function as & signed and in accordance 3 with tie criteria specified in Section III of the ASME Code. Tre valve and Q3-pump ope rability assurance program is given in Appendix 3.9.B. 32 3.9.2.5 Design and Installation Crite ria, Pressura-Relieving Devices Safe ty valves and relief valves with free discharge will le analyzed in accordanm with ASME Section III co& case (now in preparation).

Safe ty valves and relief valves with an enclosed discharge will be analyzed 35 by methods which suitably account for tie time-history of loads acting (G) immediately following valve opening (first few milliseconds). The dynamic re sponse of tie piping to the se loads will also be analyze d. Stre sse s resulting from relief valve opening will, when combined with other upset loads, neet tie limits in ASME Section III for upset conditions.

The analyses account for tie actual fact that all valves discharge out-wardly away from tie reactor vessel. T}e simultaneous discharp creates maximum energy inta the piping system at one time and lower mode excita-tion will dominate . Thus maximum responses will re sult.

The fluid induced forcing functions are calculated usind one-dimensional 3 equations for tie conservation of mass, momentum and ene rgy. Tte fluid is assumed to be an ideal gas. Q3, These forcing functions, once calcula te d, are applied at locations along tre piping system whe re chang in fluid flow 33 direction occurs. Applying these functions to the structural system model, a dynamic tion history is pe rformed, to calculate structural response of the piping. Tie refore , a dynamic amplification factor is inte rently accounted for in the analyses.

For Class 2 and 3 piping, the moment due to F (including tic dynamic load Q1" factor) will be included in tie M R *** *9"" ' " * " ' "

Fabrication and installation f the valve inlet nozzle to the le ade r will be in full compliance with tie applicable provisions of ASMS Section III, Q Class 2 and 3 for branch connections. Stre sse s in the se pipe s , including }~9 tie effects of valve discharga thrust, will be maintained within code limits.

3 For any pipe run having more than one safety / relief valve ; the most se ve re combination of relief valves discharging simultaneously, including all Q3 valves on one side of the syatem, will be considered in ditermining pipe .23 stresses as described in Sections 3.9.2.1 and 5.2.1.

For closed systems wtere tte fluid is discharging from a safe ty-relieving de vice to anotter vessel or chamber, tie dynamic interaction forces of tiu 3 total system including tin attached discharge piping will be considered. 42 Tie e f fects of this loading will be included in tte ti Rterm of equation 9 (C) of Section NC-3652 of tie Winter 1972 addenda to ASME Section III.

Pre ssure relieving devices will be constructed, located and installed so that cley are readily accessible for inspection and repair and so that tin y cannot be readily rendered inoperative. Safety or relief valvea are se t to relieve at a pressure not exceeding tin maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel at the ope rating te mpe rature .

3.9.2.6 Stress levels for Category I Components Stress analysis is used to determine structural adequacy or pressure compo-nents of tie reactor coolant pre ssure boundary undcc tle operating conditions of normal, upse t, eme rgency and faulted. 35 Significant discontinuities are conside red such as nozzle s , flanges , etc.

In addition to tie design calculations required by the ASME III code , s tre ss analysis is perb.rmed by me thods outlined in the code appendices or by ottu r me thods applicable to tie design condition through re ference to analo-gous code s or otle r publisted lite rature .

Examples of me thods and results of significant areas of conside ration are given for major components in tre FSAR.
