RESPONSES TO NRC QUESTIONS ON AFW HEADER Question 1.

Provide a summary of the analyses performed to assure that A.

the structural integrity of the stabilized internal headers will be maintained for the remaining life of the plant.

Include a description of all forcing functions associated with ASME levels A, B, C, and D n' odes. A brief description of the analyses performed and a summary of the results of the analyses.

Response

Summary of Analysis of Stabilized Header The stabilization analysis is included in B&W calculation 32-1134668-00.

(BAW 1732, Section 8.0, Reference 7)

The following loading conditions were considered:

Normal and Upset Conditions (Now called Service Levels A and B)

Dead Weight, Flow Induced Vibration, Operating Basis Earthquake, and Thermal Transients were considered.

This includes a fatigue analysis to demonstrate structural integrity for the plant life.

- Emergency Condition (Now called Service Level C)

Dead Weight, Flow Induced Vibration, Safe Shutdown Earthquake, and Thermal Transients were considered.

- Faulted Condition (Now called Service Level D)

Two load combinations were considered:

(1) Dead Weight, LOCA, and Safe Shutdown Earthquake; (2) Dead Weight, Main Steam Line Break, and Safe Shutdown Earthquake.

The box header corner welds have recently been analyzed for these conditions and have been shown adequate. This analy-sis will be incorporated in 32-1134668-00.

Complete corner weld integrity was assumed.

Question 1.

Since the inlet opening to the internal headers will not be B.

closed, provide assurance that steam pockets cannot still be trapped in the header and cause additional damage in the event of their collapse.

Response

Although the 6" inlet hole and the sixty (60) 11" holes remain in the internal header, a steam condensation problem is not anticipated because of the absence in the header of water below saturation temperature. Auxiliary Feedwater

Responses to NRC Questions on AFW Header Question 1.B.

Response

(Continued) will now be injected into the tube bundle below the bottom of the header. This will prevent any cold water from.

entering the internal header and thus prevent steam conden-sation pressure fluctuations.

Question 2.

Provide a commitment to prepare the ASME Section III required Design Reports for the modified steam generators and auxiliary feedwater piping systems.

Response

The Stress Report issued when the steam generators were fab-ricated is what is now called the Design Report. The Field Change Authorization (FCA) revising this report to incorporate the changes to the header is being prepared for each licensee by Babcock & Wilcox.
