(Black Fox Station, Units 1 and 2) ) Gentlemen: I am enclosing copies of Applicants' testimony which is submitted in response to the Licensing Board's questions concerning stability criteria for containment vessel design (see the Licensing Board's Order of January 19, 1979). The witnesses are Mr. David Guyot of Black & Veatch Consulting Engineers and Messrs. Miller and Hagstrom of Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. They will be presented to testify, as indicated in the schedule provided by Mr. Davis, on Wednesday, February 21, 1979. Mr. Vaughn Conrad of Public Service Company of Oklahoma will take the stand as an additional witness on Contentions 16 and 3 and Board Question 5-1.

A statement of my professional background and qualifications has already been made a part of the record in this case in connection with testimony on Board Question 12-3 and Contentions 3 and 16. The purpose of this testimony is to respond to the questions of the Licensing Board set forth in its Order of January 19, 1979. Specifically, the Licensing Board posed three questions concerning a preliminary report by Drs. Masri, Seide and Weingarten entitled, " January 3, 1978 Progress . Report for ' Buckling Criteria and Application of Criteria to , Steel Containment Shell' (fRS-77-8)" (hereinafter referred to as the " Preliminary Report"). BACKGROUND The steel containment vessr,1 for Black Fox Station (BFS) as specified in Subsection 3.8 of the BFS PSAR is being designed in accordance with the American Society of (ASME Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Code) Section III, Subsection NE. CBI is designing the steel Containment vessel and its appurtenances for the Black Fox Station. The Applicants, through Black & Veatch (B&V), have prepared the design spacification required by Paragraph NA-3250 of the ASME Code for use by CBI in their design of the Black Fox Station steel containment vessel and its appurtenances. This design specification establishes the ninimum requirements for the design of the vessel. These requiraments include the identification of the load defini-

                ~ tions and the establishment of appropriate load combinations 1

and related acceptance criteria, including as set forth in Attachment III of this testimony, the criteria to be employed in assessing structural stability. CBI is performing the required analyses and design activities to configure the steel containment vessel which CBI will comply with the Applicants' design specification. upon completion of their on-going design activities will prepare and submit at ASME Stress Report in accordance with . Article NA-3350 of the ASME Code. ss BOARD OUESTIONS_ s The first question asked by the Licensing Board in its January 19, 1979 Order concerns the status of any evalu-ation of the Preliminary Report by the NRC Staff, and as such is more appropriately answered by the NRC Staff. The Licensing Board's second question was:

                                          "b. The report   (at pp. 2 and 3) is severely critical of two out of three predictive methods specified through Regulatory Guide 1.57 and ASMZ Code limits NE-3224 Isic). Are the criticized methods to be  relied upon in the design of BFS?"

As indicated in Amendment 12 of the PSAR for the Black Fox Station (response to NRC Staff question 130.22), the design of the containment vessel will not employ the two methods criticized by the authors of the Preliminary Report, h, the first and third methods described on Pages 2 and

        <                      3. The acceptance criteria for assessing the structural

margins which reflect the differences between theoretical and actual load capacities. This is the second method described in the Preliminary Report. The Preliminary Report refers to ASME Code Sub-Paragraph NE-3224. It appears that the more appropriate reference is Subparagraph NE-3222 of the 1977 edition of the ASME Code. It should be noted that the CBI design effort on the BFS containment vessel was commenced in mid-1976 based . on a letter of intent executed by CBI and B&V on behalf of At that time, the 1974 the Applicants in November 1975. edition of the ASME Code, Paragraph NE-3130 was in effect and that Paragraph of the ASME Code was and is being used The 1977 in the design of the BFS containment vessel. edition of the ASME Code did not become effective until July 1, 1977, approxiuately 12 months months after the design work had commenced on the BFS containment vessel. The final question posed by the Licensing Board was:

                              "c. Has    the buckling stress for BFS been determined by the method set foI+.h in Section 5, pp. 4 and 5, of the report?

If so, how does it compare with values determined by otMr methods?" The design of the BFS containment vessel is in the preliminary stage, and as a result the final stresses for the specified load combinations have not been determined. The stresses will be defined during the final design stage during the FSAR review. Therefore, it necessarily follows

                                                                   '       tion

cylinders. The diameter to thickness ratio, D/T, for the results shown in Figures 1 and 2 ranges between 800 and 1600. This ratio for the BFS containment vessel ranges between 822 and 960. The test results shown on Figure 1 are for unstif-fened mylar cylinders with modulus of elasticity, E, values The test results shown on Figure 2 between 675 and 900 ksi. are for a steel fabricated cylinder with stiffeners with E equal to 29,000 ksi. The buckling stresses are a function ' and L is of the . imensionless d parameter M, where M=L//.5Dt the stiffener spacing. The values of M for the fabricated cylinder tests are representative for stiffener spacing used on the BFS containment vessel. Figures 1 and 2 show (i) the allowable design stresses for the BFS containment vessel, the related criti-cal stability stresses, and their relationship to the test results and (ii) the calculated classical buckling stresses for each test cylinder. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate that the critical buckling values for the BFS containment vessel are a lower bound of the test results, and in some cases they are considerably less than the corresponding test results. A factor of safety of 2.4 is applied to these conservative critical buckling values to calculate the allowable design values for the Black Fox Station. It is our. opinion the method of analysis enployed P for tha design of the BFS containment ves.sel will result in conservative prediction of stresses and that the stability p

This Appendix outlines the buckling criteria to be considered in the . containment vessel design. The loads which must be considered in this case are those loadings causing compressive stresses in the seridional and/or I the hoop directions. The requirements of this Appendix are in accordance with the ASME Code, except when the code does not consider explicitly certain i ' configurations or loadings. i A2.0 NOMENCLATURE l The nc.tation>. used in this Appendix are listed below. l'

S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Attn: Steven A. Varga, Chief Gentlemen: During our mee' ting of January 23, 1979 with Dr. Roger Mattson, Director, Division of Systems Safety, Applicants agreed to provide a commitment related to the methodology to be used for ccmbining the loads that occur when multiple safety relief valves (SRV's) actuate, specifically loads from oscillating bubbles in the suppression pool. On the basis of thnt discussion and agreement Applicants commit to the following:

1) Containment structures will be designed to accommodate the loads associated with the simultaneous actuations of all 19 SRV's with all the bubbles assumed to oscillate in phase in the suppression pool.
2) Design of the affected equipment and components will be done utilizing those techniques described in the G.E. Report 22A4365 " Interim Containment Loads Report - Mark III Containment" Revision 2 (ICLR Rev. 2) Appendix M and revised as a result of the regulatory staff's generic review, currently underway and to be completed the first quarter of 1980. The ICLR Rev. 2 is contained on the Black Fox Station docket as Appendix 3C to the PSAR, Amendment 14 dated February 2, 1979.

3) Affected equipnent and components will not be permanently installed until the generic resolution of the staff review of ICLR Rev. 2 is available (during the first quarter 1980) for use in design. In the event that the ultimate staff resolution is not forthcoming by April 1, 1980, Applicants will proceed with installation of affected equipment and components at their own risk taking into consideration interim staff reports of methodology acceptability.

We believe that these commitments fairly reflect the sense of our meeting. Very truly yours, T. N. Ewing Manager, BFS Nuclear Project TNE:VLC:fd Attachment
