This project demonstrated that the effect a water fog has on hydrogen com-bustion is very dependent on the density, droplet size, and temperature of

   .the fog. -More specifically it was concluded that:
1. Increased fog densities are required to achieve a given level of hydrogen inerting when the fog contains increased droplet sizes.
2. Dense water fog at room temperature has a marginal effect on the hydrogen lower flammability limit.
3. Increasing water fog temperature causes large increases in the hydrogen lower flammability limit.

Based on the information obtained from this report, water fog conditions were

 \ selected for further testing in a larger vessel. See Section 2.6 for informa-tion on the intermediate scale water fog tests.

n (OI ABSTRACT This report presents an experimental evaluation of the effects of water fog density, e droplet diameter, and temperature on the lower flammable limit (LFL) of hydrogen-air-steam mixtures. The results show that the LFL for hydrogen in air at 20'C is only marginally higher with fog than without. Most of the nozzles tested at 20*C raised the hydrogen LFL fr$m 4.0 vol % to 4.8%, corresponding to dense fogs with volume-average drop size in the range 45-90 microns. The lower flam.ahle limit at 50*C was typically 7.2% corresponding to dense fogs with drop size in the range 25-50 microns. The lower flammable limit at 70*C was typically 7.6%, ranging from 6.8-8.5% depending on nozzle type and pressure. Typical fog concentrations ranged from 0.03-0.09 vol % at 20*C and decreased with increasing fog temperature. The result 9 demonstrate that water fog inerting of hydrogen-air-steam mixtures is more pronounced with reduced droplet sizes and increased temperature, conditions that favor rapid droplet vaporization rates. \^ 1

  .V 50101ARY As a result of the Three-Mile Island accident, there is renewed concern about hydro-gen control measures during degraded core accidents. One promising hydrogen control measure is a distributed ignition system to burn the hydrogen at a controlled rate as it is released into the containment building. It has also been suggested that water fog in the containment could further reduce hydrogen combustion temperatures and pressures. On the other hand, there has been some concern that the fog could inert hydrogen-air mixtures and inadvertently prevent controlled combustion. Moti-vated by these concerns, this report addresses the question of hydrogen-air-water vapor mixture flar= ability in the presence of highly concentrated water fogs.

A laboratory-scale fog-inerting apparatus was constructed to acquire pertinent in-erting data. Tests were conducted with gas mixtures containing 4.0 vol 4 to 8.7 vol % hydrogen at temperatures ranging from 20'C to 70*C. Dense water fogs were () generated in the inerting tube by using a series of five different fog nozzles which produced volume-average drop diameters of 20-115 microns at water pressures of 10-40 psig (69-276 kPa) . Tests involved ignition attempts with both spark igniters and glow plug igniters. Successful ignition was monitored by thermocouple response and by actuation of pressure relief discs at the top of the inerting tube. Prior to the inerting tests, fog drop size and concentration data were obtained with a

hot wire probe located at the igniter position in the inerting tube.

8 Room temperature inerting test results indicated that dense fogs caused only a mar-

           . ginal increase in the hydrogen lower flammable limit (LFL) concentration.       Specifi-cally, the hydrogen LFL for upward flame propagation was raised from 4.0 vol % for a dry hydrogen-air mixture to 4.4-5.3 vol % with four different hydraulic nozzles at various pressures. An air-driven nozzle, which produced smaller drops than the hydraulic nozzles, increased the LFL to 7.2 vol % at 20'C.

Tests run at h'igher gas / fog temperatures resulted in somewhat greater increases in

     -~      the hydrogen LFL. For a. typical hydraulic nozzle, the hydrogen LFL increased.from

(,,) 4.8 vol % at 20*C to 7.6 vol 4 at 70'C. This increased inerting is due in part to water vapor dilution and in part to liquid phase water heat sink effects associated S- 1

wswau - avm w w - _ _ Fog dansities required to achieve a givan level of hydrogan inarting increase with increasing characteristic drop size of the fog. It is difficult to accurately quantify this effect because of uncertainty and scatter in the present fog density data. However, the data do indicate that fog volume mean drop size would have to be well under 20 microns and that fog densities would have to be well above

                  ~

10 g/cc-gas to raise the LFL above 7-8 vol % hydrogen, even at temperatures as high as 70*C.

Section 1  ; INTRODUCTdON As a result of the Three-Mile Island accident, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

          ,   requiles operators of certain containment structures to determine and ieplement an effective method for controlling hydrogen evolved during degraded core accidents.
          ,   One of the hydrogen control methods that has been suggested is a water fog system, probably in conjunction with a distributed ignition system. The water fog system would fill the containment volume with a high-density fog prior to and during con-trolled combustion of hydrogen by a distributed ignition system.      It has been suggested Q) that heat absorption by the water fog would maintain peak combustion temperatures and pressures within acceprable values as evolved hydrogen is gradually consumed. Adiabatic, complete isochoric combustion calculations of Berman et al Q) ,

which include fog droplet evaporation effects, indicate that fog concentrations on the order of 10~ g-water /cm -gas-mixture can significantly reduce containment pres-sures compared to dry combustion at the same hydrogen concentratien, e-(x) In order for a water fog system and distributed ignition system to be compatible, the fog should not inert or quench flame propagation. Fog inerting or quenching re-quires rapid droplet vaporization. Vaporization rate calculations of Berman et al (1) indicate that droplets with a diameter less than about 8 pm will vaporize en-tirely within the flame zone and, therefore, are capable of inerting. The order-of-magniture of this calculated result is consistent with the experimental data of Sapko et al (2), who observed that droplets smaller than about 10 um diameter sus-

        ,     pended in methane-air mixtures vaporize sufficiently rapidly to provide the same in-erting capability as their equivalent mass of water vapor.

It is important to confirm and further quantify the suspected inerting capability i of water fog suspended in hydrogen-air-steam mixtures. This report describes the

 ,            results of an experimental program in which the effect of water fog density, drop-let size, and temperature on the lower flammab2e limit of hydrogen was studied.

The experimental approach has been similar to that used by Sapko et al for methane-air mixtures. Experimental procedures and equipment are described in Section 2. p i / , U 1-1

1 Section 2 SST APPARATUS AND EXPERIMENTAt PROCEDURES 2.1 HYDROGEN-WATER FOG INERTING APPARATUS A schematic view of the experimental setup is shown in Figure 2-1. The inerting tube (1) is a 15-em i.d. ,1 meter long (19-liter) Plexiglas tube, vertically ori-ented and supported on a Unistrut frame. The tube is equipped with a cap (2) on top which supports the vents and the gas mixture and water supply lines. A poly-propylene Buchner funnel at the bottom, aids in water collection and eliminates air updrafts. The vents are 4-em 1.d. openings, spaced symmetrically on the cap and covered with aluminum disks. With the inerting tube at atmospheric pressure, the vent disks stay in place to prevent hydrogen-air mixture leaks from the top or ad-mission of outside air into the tube. However, the vent disks open to act as a pressure relief devir.o (and to verify combustion) when the hydrogen-air mixture is ignited. Ignition electrodes (6) are located at the center of the inerting tube for most tests. The electrodes are machined from a ~6 mm brass rod to assume the needle-point shape. The electrode body is insulated with a shrink-fit tubing throughout the entire lenoth except at the needle point and the flat ends projecting out of the tube. A spark gap of ~3 mm is allowed between the needle points. During an ig-

nition attempt, the electrodes are energized by a Donegan Model transformer with accondary coil (i.e. , output) voltage of 8,400 V and current of 20 mA. The calcu-
        !       lated spark energy is 2.8 Joules / cycle.

In a few tests, the electrodes wers replaced by a glow plug (General Motors Model 7G AC). The glow plug was energized by a 14 V AC transformer. Flame propagation in the inerting tube was monitored by three chromel-alumel thermocouples with a bead diameter of ~0.3 mm. Two thermocouples are located 5 cm above and S em below the ignition electrodes and the third thermocouple is 15 cm above the electrodes. The beads of all three thermocouples are approximately at the centerline of the insrting tube. Thermocouple response signals were fed to an oscillograph to indicate whether

    ,a           or not the hydrogen-air mixture was ignited. That is, if either of the three thermo-j      i
     %/

couples responded during an ignition attempt, the mixture was considered to be 2-1

Hydrogen and air streams were retered using Matheson flow meters; after passing through check valves the streams meet at the inlet port of the hydrogen-air mixer, which is a 75 em long, 25 mm i.d. stainless

  • steel tube packed with glass beads. The mixed hydrogen-air stream at a nominal flow rate of 10-201/ min is fed to the inerting tube arter passing through a flash ar-rester. Water for the fog nozzles was supplied from a 23-liter electrically heated hot water tank (Dayton Midget Watttrie=er) . The tank is pressurized by nitrogen and distilled water is fed to the nozzle after passing through a rotameter. The spray nozzle is located -20 cm below the top of the inerting tube and ~33 cm above the ignition electrodes.

Five different nozzles were used to obtain a range of fog concentrations and drop sizes. The nozzles were: 1) a SPRACO impingement-type nozzle (#2163-7604), 2) a SPRACO hollow cone nozzle (#2020-1704), 3) a SPRACO hollow cone misting nozzle (#1806-1605), 4) a SPRACO impactor type nozzle (#1405-0604) , and 5) a Sonicore f-ws (Model 35H) air-driven fog nozzle **.

2.2 DROPLET SIZE AND CONCENTRATION MEASwREMENT The droplet size distribution and droplet concentration in the fog nozzles used in this study were determined by means of a KLD Associates (Huntington Station, N.Y.)

DC-2 Drop Size Measurement Probe. The operation of this KLD Drop Size Measurement Probe is conceptually siedlar to hot-wire-anemometer operation. Local cooling
   !      caused by droplet attachment to a hot wire changes the electrical resistance of the wire. A portion of wire covered by the droplet is cooled approximately to the drop-let temperature. With a constant electrical currsnt flowing through the'vire, a measurable voltage drop can be sensed between the wire terminals. Thus, the voltage in dry air is reduced by an amount proportional to the droplet diameter when a drop-

' ~ let is attached to it. With appropriate counting electronics, the drop 1et size dis - tribution can be obtained. A more complete discussion of the KLD Drop Size measure-ment technique is provided in a paper by Magnus et al (3). Only the thermocouple above the igniter actually sensed the presence of flames []/ (,, thus, flame propagation was upward only. Hydrogen-air mixture was used as the atomizing medium in these tests. 23

Dr:p ciza inencurcments using tha proba were mada in both tha insrting tube tnd in en une:nfinsd fcg. In tha inarting tube, tha prebe w2s loc 2tsd ct tha ignition lo-cation, i.e., about 33 cm below the nozzle. In unconfined fogs, the probe was also located about 33 cm directly below the nozzle centerline. O If droplet velocities are known, fog concentrations can also be obtained from the droplet counts and sample collection time. Thus, the droplet number density may be defined as the number of drops counted divided by the sample volume. The drop-a let number density, ng , corresponding to each droplet size interval is calculated by the expressions ii 3 ng = (2-1) v t'i(D 1 + d) , Drops /m where Kg = captive area factor, i.e., small droplet trajectory / velocity deviation caused by wire sensor. The factor is unity for drops >8.7 pm; N g = droplets counted in the ith channel; v = flow velocity (cm/s); t = counting time interval (s)r E = sensor length (0.1 cm): D = average droplet diameter for the ith channel (varies from 1.3 to 366 pu): ty d = sensor wire diameter (5 x 10 cm). Fog mass concentration, C(g/cm ), is related to the number density distribution by C = w/6 p En gD g (2-2) where p is water density and ng is given by Eq. 2-1. Fog volume fraction is cal-

      !     culated similarly, but without the density factor, in Eq. 2-2.

Fog concentrations computed in this manner are only as accurate as the accuracy of the assumed flow velocity, v, in Eq. 2-1. Two alternative calculation procedures have been used with two different assumed values for v:

1. The average gas velocity, v , flowing through the tube was used.

f However, this velocity was only 1-2 cm/s, which is less than the terminal velocity, v , for the larger drops in_the fog.

2. Therefore, a second calculation procedure was also used in which the droplet velocity in Eq. 2-1 was assumed to be either vg or
    ,                    v , depending on which value was larger for a channel of given size.

In view of thi une:rtninty involved in u ing th3 DC-2 prob 2 d tc to calculcto fog conczntratien dita, cnsthar indspendtnt method, prsviously unsd by Srpko ct c1 (2) , was used here also. This consisted of simply collecting water for a known interval

    /,,N  in a Pyrex dish of -14 cm 1.d. inserted into the bottom of the inerting tube such
    \ ,)  that there was a clearance of -5 mm between the tube and the collector dish. By knowing the rate of water collection and the volumetric flow of the hydrogen-air mixture, the water / gas fJux ratio was calculated. To the extent that the droplet and gas mixture residence times in the tube are comparable, this flux ratio is also 1 a measure of fog concentration.

2.3 HYDROGEN-WATER FOG INERTING-EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE Inerting experiments began by purging the inerting tube with the desired premixed stream of hydrogen and air. At least six inerting tube volume changes were effected to achieve uniform composition throughout the tube. The water spray with desired temperature was turned on 2 min before an ignition attempt and the temperature of the spray and mixture were continuously monitored using chromel-alumel thermocouples. Ignition was attempted by energizing the electrode or glow plug transformer. If , the mixture was flammable, the flame was sensed by chromel-alumel thermocouples and their response recorded on a Honeywell oscillograph. A second indication of the presence of flame war provided by the fluttering motion of the vent disks as they

    \s_/  opened to relieve pressure in the inerting tube caused by the flame. Another im-portant visual feature of the experiments in which flame propagation occurred was the appearance of dense steam following flame propagation.

     /^~N Section 3 C) f FOG CONCENTRATION AND DROPLET SIZE DATA
  • Data from the KLD drop size probe have been processed to determine water fog concen-tration and drop size distributions. Cumulative log-probability picts of the drop size distributions are presented in Appendix B for all five nozzles operated at vari-ous pressuren and temperatures. The linear relationship shown in these plots in-plies (4) that the drop diameters satisfied a log-normal distribution. The " average" diameter in these distributions has been represented by number median diameter, number mean diameter, volume mean diameter, and Sauter mean (volume to surface area ratio) diameter. Tabulated values of these average diameters and the log normal standard deviations for tha "arious test conditions are listed in Appendix A.

For a given pressure and temperature, the five nozzles produced average drop sizes that usually increased in the order: Sonicore (air driven) 35 H, Spraco 2163, Spraco 1806,*Spraco 2020, and Spraco 1405. For example, at a pressure of 2015 psig and a temperature of 4513*C, the volume mean drop diameters for these five nozzles C were 22 pm, 35 km, 43 km, 50 pm, and 92 km, respectively. A comparison of the drop size measurements made in the tube and on unconfined fogs shows that the drop sizes for all Spraco nozzles are larger when the measurement is done in the open than when it is done in the tube. For example, under identical operating conditions of 20 psi and water at ~20'C, the number median drop size for Spraco 2020-1704 nozzle was reduced from 10.411.6 km (measured in open) to 611.7 km (measured inside the tube). This shift.in distribution can be attributed to droplet breakup in striking and rebounding eff the walls of the inerting tube. For a given nozzle, the average drop size decreased with increasing pressure and with increa,-ing temperature. This effect is illustrated for Spraco nozzles 2163 and

  ,         1806 (two comparable nozzles) in Figure 3-1.

Fog concentrations calculated using the three methods described in Section 2.2 are also tabulated in Appendir A. For the Sonicore air-driven nozzle and the Spraco g-~S 1405 nozzle, concentrations obtained from the KLD probe data (assuming v = vg) agree

     \s-     fairly well with concentrations based on the water / air flux ratio (called the col-lection method in Appendix A) . For the other three nozzles, the fog concentrations 3-1

Thus, the water collection technique is not a reliable metho'd for determining concentrations of fogs with drops in this size range. Fog concentration calculation based on probe data with v equal to the larger of f either v gor v were e nsistently at least an order of magnitude smaller than con-t centrations based on the other two techniques. Thus, concentrations based on vg and

The discrepancy in fog concentration data is an unfortunate consequence of the in-

             - herent inaccuracy in the measurement techniques employed. Other techniques, based on optical attenuation or scattering phenomena (for example, Reference 5) are more ac-curate altnough more complex, and are recommended for future measurements of fog density. Fog concentration data listed in Table 4-1 are based on the probe method (using vg ) since the authors feel this method is the most accurate of the three tech-niques used.

O Cection 4 FOG INERTING DATA Hydrogen lower flammable limit (LFL) data in the presence of wr.ter fog are shown in Tables 4-1 to 4-3 for gas / fog temperatures of 20*C, 50*C, and 70*C. Data are pre-sented for all five nozzles operated at pressures of 10-40 psig. For the Spraco hydraulic nozzles at 20*C, the hydrogen LFL was 4.4-5.3 vol 4 (neglecting any water vapor diluting). These values are only marginally higher than the hydrogen LFL for dry airs i.e. , 4.0 vol %, which was also verified (a value of 4.03% was measured) in the present apparatus using both spark and glow plug igniters. The Sonicore air-driven fog nozzle at 20'C caused the hydrogen LFL to increase to 7.2 vol %. This increase is undoubtedly due to the smaller drops produced by the Sonicore nozzle compared to the Spraco hydraulic nozzles. s At 50*C, hydrogen LFL's in the presence of water fog varied from 5.6 to 7.9 vol % depending on nozzle type and pressure. At 70'C, th'e hydrogen LFL was 6.C-8.5% for the two nozzles tested. Most of the 20'C and 50'C inerting datawere obtained with a spark igniter, but some repeat tests with a glow plug produced almost identical results. The 70*C data were obtained with the glow plug. The observed increase in LFL with increasing temperature is similar to that reported by Sapko et al (2) for water spray inerting/ quenching of methane-air mixtures. It can be attributed to the following effects:

1. The hydrogen-air mixture is diluted by additional water vapor, which is presumably present at the satt ration values rhown in Figure'4-1.
   ~
2. As initial droplet temperatures increase closer to the atmospheric pressure boiling point, i.e., 100*C, the droplets can vaperize more rapidly to quench a growing kernel of flan.e.
3. The drop size is reduced with increasing tempersture. The smaller, -

drops evaporate more rapidly than larger drops to quench an in-cipient flame. - d The dilution effect is illustrated by plotting the observed LFL values on the~three-S component (hydrogen-air-water vapor) flammability triangle diagran shown in Figure 4-2. Since the LFL data with fog fall within the flamnable envelope in 4 j Figure 4-2, it is clear that water vapor dilution alone is not sufficient to explain ( 4-1

Data from the fifth nozzle (Spraco 1405) were more scattered than

for the other four nozzles, but did indicate that the linear relationship in Figure 4-3 could possibly be extrapolated to somewhat larger drop diameters and fog densi-ties, as shown in Figure 4-4.

The trend of the data shown in Figure 4-3 is analogous to that observed by Sapko et al with methane (see Figure 3 of Reference 2) . .

4 ((h) Section 5 CONCLUSIONS

1. Dense water fogs applied to hydrogen-air mixtures cause only a marginal increase in the hydrogen lower flammable limit (LFL) concentration at-room temperature. Four fog nozzles used in this program caused the hydrogen LFL for upward flame propagation to increase from 4.0 vol % to 4,4-5.3 vol t.
      ;            Fog generated from an air-driven nozzle (which generated smaller drops than the hydraulic nozzles) resulted in a hydrogen LFL of 7.2% at 20*C.
2. Increasing temperature causes large increases in the hydrogen LFL in.the presence of water fog. For a typical hydraulic type fog nozzle used in the project, the hydrogen LFL increased from 4.8 vol 4 to 7.2 vol t and to 7.6 vol 4 (based on dry hydrogen-air mixture) as initial temperatures This increased inerting is due increased from 20'C to 50*C and to 70*C.

in part to water vapor dilution and in part to liquid phase water heat sink effects associated with rapid vaporization of the smaller drops at g elevated temperatures. a

    \_)       3. Fog densities required to e.chieve a given level of hydrogen inerting are.

strongly dependent on the characteristic drop size of the fog. For ex-(from ample, required fog densities increased by an order of magnitude gm/cm -gas to 10" gm/cm -gas) as volume mean drop diameter in-

4.2 SELECTION OF BASE CASE ANALYSIS CONDITIONS . O On October 2, 1980, NRC issued for comment a set of interim requirements related to hydrogen control for nuclear' stations. This proposed interim rule notes that following a loss of coolant accident with degradation of the reactor core and hydrogen production from core cladding oxidation, it must be

                        ~

established tnat uncontrolled hydrogen-oxygen recombination'will not occur in containment. The given characteristics of hydrogen release from such an acci-

       . dent are eight hours duration and hydrogen quantity equal to that produced by oxidation of 75% of the reactor cladding mass.        Accordingly, an accident sequence was selected for McGuire based on a small opening in the reactor coolant pressure boundary (less than a two inch diameter) with inoperable 1

emergency core cooling. -This accident sequence is similar to an S2D sequence as identified in WASH-1400 terminology. The MARCH computer code, developed by Battelle-Columbus, was used t'o predict the water and hydrogen mass flow and energy release rates as a function of. time. Whereas it was recognized that. MARCH was not intended by its authors to be used for determination of.speci-fic licensing criteria, it was believed that a starting point for establishing the basic characteristics of hydrogen and steam release could be obtained from 4 MARCH. In order to use the MARCH results to predict ice condenser containment response and the performance of the Hydrogen Mitigation System, the computer code CLASIX was used. CLASIX is fully described in OPS-07A35 (to be issued : by Offshore Power Systems). In order to analyze the containment response 4-

4.6 . SENSITIVITY STUDIES b To assess the effect of changes in the user-supplied input parameters on the 4 results of containment response as predicted by CLASIX, a number of analyses have been performed using the latest version of CLASIX. In these analyses, the effects of the following parameter changes were determined:

1. Changes in the number of operating trains of the Engineered Safeguard Systems associated with containment pressure mitigation. These systems are Containment Spray, Containment Air Return Fans, and Hydrogen Skimmer Fans.
2. Variation in the rate of hydrogen release to the containment. The amount 2 of hydrogen to be released was unchanged (1500 lbm) because that amount of hydrogen represents a 75% metal / water reaction.
3. Effects of failure to ignite hydrogen in the lower containment or in the ice condenser upper plenum. Pending the results of the analysis of the.

potential for inerting of a containment compartment due to a fog formation, it was deemed prudent to ensure that containment response was within allowable limits should a compartment become inerted.

4. Effects of the amount of ice remaining at the onset of hydrogen release.

Because it would be very difficult to trace all mass and energy release rate possibilities prior to the onset of hydrogen release, the amount of ice available during hydrogen burning was examined to determine whether it had a significant effect. 4.6-1 ' Revision 1 New Page

     . 4. 6.1       Selection nf the Reference Case b

v The base case analyses discussed in Section 4.4 were considered for use as reference cases for sensitivity work, and it was noted that these earlier analyses had two disadvantages. The first is that a constant flow rate was assumed for the Air Return Fans and Hydrogen Skimmer Fans. It was concluded-that for the sensitivity analysis to be performed, in order to ensure that it was done conservatively, the actual fan head / flow curves should be used. These curves are found in the McGuire FSAR, Figures 6.6.2-2 and 6.6.2-3. The second disadvantage of the earlier analysis work W s that neither flame speed selected previously was conridered to be an adequate pa'rameter for further work. At the request of the ice condenser utilities, Dr. Bernard Lewis reexamined the flame-speed issue. Using the actual conditions believed to be present in the ice q condenser containment at the time of hydrogen burning, including the volume percentages of hydrogen, water vapor, and air, the limiting flame speed is predici.ed to be 1.4 feet /second. Thus the value of six feet /second used for earlier work is unrealistically. conservative and would significantly overpredict the rate of hydrogen consumption and energy release. The previously used flame speed of one foot /second, while still considered to be valuable for equipment survivability analysis, may be slightly too low and therefore underpredict energy release rates. Accordirgly, it was decided that a flame speed of two feet /second would be used for analysis during the sensitivity studies. The

,-    geometric input data was reviewed to ensure its correctness.         Hydrogen burn parameters were identical to those used for the analysis discussed in Section

, 4.4. Justification for the selection of these parameters is contained in Section 4.2. O V 4.6-2 Revision 1 New Page

4.6.2 Results of Analysis for the Reference Case O V The results of the reference case analysis are shown in Figures 4.6-1 through 4.6-13. Hydrogen burning occurs in the lower compartment and and ice condenser upper plenum, with five hydrogen burns in the lower compartment and sixteen burns in the ice condenser upper plenum. No hydrogen burning occurs in either the upper compartment or the dead-ended areas. The temperature responses for the five containment compartments are shown in Figures 4.6-1 through 4.6-5. Note that the temperature' profile in the lower compartment is bounded by the profile selected in Section 5.3 for analysis of lower containment equipment survivability; therefore, the conclusions reached in Section 5.7 for lower

      -containment equipment survivability are valid for this reference case.

Figures 4.6-6 through 4.6-10 show the pressure response of the containment during the transient. All containment pressures are less than 28 psia, with 30 psia being containment design pressure. Additional insight into the safety margin available in this case may be found in Figures 4.6-11 through 4.6-14. Figures 4.6-11 and 4.6-12 show the volume fraction of oxygen available in the lower compartment and ice condenser upper plenum, respectively. Note that at all times oxygen concentration is well above the 5% by volume required for ignition. Thus there is no tendency to inert by oxygen depletion where hydrogen l ignition occurs. Figure 4.6-13 shows the hydrogen concentration in the upper compartment during the transient. Note that the highest concentration achieved is approximately 7% by volume, below the downward propagation limit. Thus no propagating flames will be present in the upper compartment at any time. [ \ (V ) l Revision 1 4.6-3 New Page

4.6.3 Sensitivity Case 1 - Minimum Safeguards D b The~first effect to be examined is the minimum safeguards case, labeled Case 1 on the associated figures. In this analysis, all of the input parameters-were the same as the reference case except that the number of operating Containment Spray Trains, Air Return Fans, and Hydrogen Skimmer Fans was reduced from two to one. This is accomplished by halving the flow rates associated with each of these components in the input data. The results of this analysis are shown in Figure 4.6-14 through 4.6-26. Hydrogen burning occurs in the lower compartment and ice condenser upper plenum, with seven propagating flames in the lower compartment and ten propagating flames in the ice condenser upper plenum. No hydrogen ignition occurs in either the upper compartment or the dead-ended volumes. Figures 4.6-14 through 4.6-18 show the temperature response of the five containment volumes, and Figures 4.6-19 through 4.6-23 show the pressure V re ponse of the five volumes. The peak pressure in the containment is less than than 28 psia, compared to the containment-design pressure of 30 psia. Though there is one additional flame in the lower conpartment beyond that considered in Section 5.3, there is more time between flames throughout the transient. It is concluded that the overall temperature response will be close to the results of Section 5.7 because of the offsetting effects of one additional flame but greater time between flames. Accordingly, the survivability of lower containment equipment is not adversely.affected by minimum safeguard availability. Figure 4.6-24 illustrates the oxygen concentration in the lower compartment during the transient. Note that during each hydrogen burn, the oxygen concentra-tion drops below that required for ignition, but recovers within a few seconds following the cessation of burning such that hydrogen ignition in the lower tQ

   %.J compartment is never prevented by insufficient oxygen.                   Figures 4.6-25 and 4.6-4                       Revision 1 New Page

The rate use'd earlier was based on a

small-break LOCA with no safety injection (an 5 20 sequence) as predicted by

(. MARCH. In order to assess whether an increased rate of hydrogen release would' create difficulties in containment response, the reference case'was reanalyzed l with the hydrogen release rate increased by a. tactor of four. The total amount i

                        .of hydrogen released to containment was kept the same by a suitable reduction in time scale.          Figure 4.6-27 illustrates the increased hydrogen release rate                   ,

on the same graph as that used in the reference analysis. -As can be seen from the graph, this case represents a considerably worse transient from a hydrogen release standpoint, and hydrogen consumption occurs at a much greater rate than 3-for the reference case. Because the metal / water reaction is diffusion limited , _in rate and may be further limited by unavailability.of steam (hy'rogen inerted),

substantially greater hydrogen release rates than those predicted by MARCH for an S2 D sequence do not appear to be physically.possible. Therefore, the enhanced

! - and -is not believed to be representative of any particular accident sequence. ) 1 Figures'4.6-28 through 4.6-39 illustrate the containment response to the increased hydrogen release rate. In the lower containment, there is-a series L 1 [ -4.6-5 Revision 1 New Page

of nine closely-spaced hydrogen flames during the time of peak release, then two more flames during the later part of the transient. In the ice condenser upper plenum, there are 22 flames spread over about one hour. There is a single flame which propagates from the lower compartment into the ice condenser lower plenum. No hydrogen burning occurs in either the upper containment or the dead-ended volume. Figures 4.6-28 through 4.6-32'show the temperature response in the five containment volumes. In Figures 4.6-33 through 4.6-37, the pressure response in the various compartments is shown. Note again that pressure in all compartments remains below design pressure for the containment. Another concern in the case'of rapid hydrogen release is whether or not the mitigation

                                                                             ~

system can cause hydrogen to burn fast enough to prevent the occurrence of a detonable concentration in any of the containment volumes. Figure 4.6-38 shows the hydrogen concentration in the lower compartment as a function of time during the transient. The highest concentration reached in this volume is less-n v' than 12" by volume, which is also the highest concentration anywhere in the containment for the transient. Because this concentration is below the generally accepted detonation limit for hydrogen in dry air, detonation in the containment is precluded, even for these extremely high rates of hydrogen release. Figure 4.6-39 shows the oxygen concentration in the lower containment for the transient. Note that this concentration drops below the concentration required for ignition repeatedly during that portion of the transient while hydrogen is being consumed rapidly. It is apparent that the rate of oxygen resupply to the lower containment is controlling the rate of hydrogen consumption. However, because the hydrogen concentration remains below the detonable limit for the duration of the transient, this momentary oxygen inerting of the lower compartment has no adverse effect on the response of the containment to the hydrogen burning transient. .

4.6.5 Case 3 - Ice Depletion Prior to Hydrogen Release O As noted previously, the forcing functions for the reference analysis co;ne from a MARCH analysis of an S 2 0 accident seauence in an ice containment plant. A second uncertainty in the use of these forcing functions, in addition to the uncertainty in hydrogen release rate, is uncertainty in the mass and energy release rates of water. While it is generally conceded that significant hydrogen release due to metal / water reaction occurs much later in the LOCA than significant steam / water release, particularly for small break sizes, the containment initial conditions at the onset of hydrogen release will depend on the earlier steam release rate and may have important effects on the nature of containment response to hydrogen burning. Accordingly, a case was established to determine the effect on containment response if the onset of hydrogen release occurred after all ice had been melted in the ice condenser. This case was expected to fulfill several purposes. It would remove the conditions which cause the upper ice condenser plenum to be a site for significant hydrogen consumption, namely, the steam stripping of flow from the lower to the upper containment through the ice condenser. It was expected to bound the initial conditions of earlier steam / water mass and energy release rates because no design basis event analyzed in the McGuire FSAR causes short term meltout of the total ice mass. Finally, it was expected to remove one of the containment [ pressure mitigation systems during hydrogen burning, thus rendering the subsequent analysis of containment response ever,more conservative. Figures 4.6-40 through 4.6-49 show the results of Case 3 with an empty ice condenser at the j start of the hydrogen release period. There are seven propagating flames in the lower compartment and a single large burn in the upper compartment. No

burning occurs in the ice condenser upper plenum or the dead-ended compartments.

Figures 4.6-40 th' rough 4.6-44 show the temperature response of the various-contai.nment compartments during the transient. Figures 4.6-45 through 4.6-49 show the pressure' response. Note that in this case, because of an upper compartment flame, the containment pressure rises above design pressure of 30 psia to approximately 35 psia. .This pressure is. considerable below .ontainment failure pressure, and the pressure remains above the design value less than one minute. There are several other short duration pressure excursions to slightly above 30 psia which last only a few seconds, corresponding to the lower compart-- ment burns. 4.6.6 Case 4 - Inerted Lower Compartment There has been some speculation that burning might be precluded in the lower-containment compartment because of water vapor concentration above the inarting s - limit, formation of a fog. or by lack of available oxygen. It was concluded

              .that a case should be analyzed wherein hydrogen ignition and burn propagation was precluded in the lower containment. - This was accomplished by setting the-oxygen and hydrogen concentrations required for ignition and propagation to 50%

by volume. Figures 4.6-50 through 4.6-60 show the results of this analysis. Hydrogen is consumed through a series of fifteen flames in the ice condenser upper plenum and two flames in the dead-ended compartment. As expected, no burning occurred in the lower compartment. Also, hydrogen concentration remained below the ignition level in the upper containment; therefore, there were no flames in the upper containment. Figures 4.6-50 through 4.6-54 show the temperature resoonse and Figures 4.6-55 through 4.6-59 the pressure response for this transient. As can be noted from Figure 4.6-60, which shows the O hydrogen concentration in the (inerted) lower containment during the transient, C/ 4.6-8 Revision 1 New Page

i hydrogen concentration remains lower than 10% by volume throughout the transient, thus formation of a detonable mixture is precluded. 4.6.7 Case 5 - Inerted Ice Condenser Upper Plenum Recent Westinghouse research concerning the probability of inerting a containment compartment due to fog formation points to the ice condenser upper plenum as being the most likely location of a fog. Though it does not appear that this fog will interfere with hydrogen ignition at the downward propagation limit of i 8-8.5% by volume, it was considered prudent to investigate the effects on containment response if burning were precluded in the ice condenser upper plenum. Inerting of this compartment was accomplished by the same method as for the lower compartment in Case 4. Figures 4.6-61 through 4.6-71 show the results of this analysis. Hydrogen is consumed by eight propagating flames in O b the lower compartment and a single burn in the upper compartment. Figures 4.6-61 through 4.6-65 show the compartment temperatures, and Figures 4.6-66 through 4.6-70 show the resulting compartment pressures. Note that despite a single upper compartment flame, pressure in all containment compartments remains below 29 psia and thus below design pressure of 30 psia. Figure 4.6-71 shows the hydrogen concentration in the (inerted) upper plenum during the transient. j Note that this hydrogen concentration, which is the highest hydrogen concentra-I tion anywhere in the containment, remains below 11% by volume, thus precluding i l formation of a detonable mixture.

1 4.6.8 Conclusions The purpose of this-extensive exercising of the CLASIX Code was to determine whether-the. hydrogen mitigation system would function satisfactorily to mitigate

       .the effects of hydrogen release and consumption by burning in the McGuire.

containment. To that end, the following conclusions may be drawn:

1. The hydrogen mitigation system performs its function when only a minimum number of containment pressure suppression engineered safeguards systems are available. Indeed, the results of the Case 1 analysis show very little effect on overall containment-response whether one or both trains of this equipment are available.
2. The hydrogen mitigation system provides for hydrogen combustion at low
O concentrations even when the hydrogen release rate is substantially above
             .that which would be expected from the physics of core degradation by metal / water reaction.

l

3. The hydrogen mitigation system functions satisfactorily even under severe assumptions concerning the initial conditions prior to hydrogen release.

With the ice condenser empty at the start of the hydrogen release portion of the accident sequence, the pressure rise is only slightly above contain-ment design pressure and well below failure pressure. . '4. Conclusions 2 and 3 taken together show that the hydrogen mitigation system is effective for a range of accident sequences and is not restricted

 /7           to an S 2D sequence. Note that melting out the ice condenser prior to O

4.6-10 Revision 1 New Page

r hydrogen release anticipates the worst LOCA condition which could be postulated as far as establishing initial conditions for hydrogen burning is concerned. Despite the lack of ice, the total additional pressure rise in the containment due to hydrogen burning is only 15 psi. Thus it is . shown that the hydrogen mitigation system prevents hydrogen combustion in containment from causing a potentially unsafe pressure rise in the contain-ment building regardless of the accident sequence prior to hydrogen release. The safety margin available in the hydrogen mitigation system is further illustrated by its ability of handle hydrogen release rates substan-tially greater than those from an 5 0 2sequence as predicted by MARCH for an ice condenser plant. Because of the physics of core degradation by metal / water reaction, it is considered likely that the hydrogen release I rate used in Case 2 represents an unrealistically conservative rate. The general conclusion is that the hydrogen mitigation system will handle a variety of accident sequences.with adequate safety margin. l 5. The hydrogen mitigation system will perform its function satisfactorily l even if ignition and propagation of hydrogen are precluded in certain compartments of the containment. Specifically, should formation of a fog, 4 steam concentration above the inerting limit, lack of oxygen, or even some electrical failure cause combustion to b' e impossible in either the lower f containment or in the upper plenum'of the ice condenser, containment response will be within design limits. Because the hydrogen concentration in all containment compartments remains below 12% by volume, a detonable ! mixture will not be formed at any time, even when burning is precluded in a large section of the containment.

5.3.1 Selection of Lower Containment Temperature Function O v Burning of hydrogen in the lower containment occurs as a series of propaga-ting hydrogen flames. To predict the minimum time between flames, various CLASIX analyses of the response of the lower compartment to hydrogen burning were examined. It was noted that flames occur 3-5 minutes apart and that more energy is deposited in the compartment from a single slow moving flame than from a faster moving flame. Flame temperature was considered to be 760 C (1400 F), consistent with burning at 8.5% hydrogen by volume. During the time the flame is moving through the compartment, radiation will transfer energy from the flame to the walls of the compartment and to' equipment. After the flame has passed a point, that point will be in the cloud of hot gasses behind the flame, and temperature will decrease as the hot gasses radiate their energy to walls and structure. The overall effect of each (D b' flame is to raise the ambient temperature of the compartment so that each flame originates at a slightly higher ambient temperature. The rise in ambient temperature can be estimated from CLASIX as approximately 25 F per flame. Combining these results and assumptions, two forcing functions for lower compartment equipment survivability analysis have been developed and i are illustrated in Figures 5.3-1 and 5.3-2. These figures represent the 1-environment surrounding a cable or transmitter and are used in considering convective heat transfer. Section 5.4.2 describes how radiative heat trans-fer is handled for lower compartment calculations. O 5.3-2 Revision 1

f condenser as a function of height is shown in Figure 5,5-1. All of these p d assumptions are considered conservative.for the following; reasons. Actual

     . thickness of the flame band is likely'to be less than.0.4 inches according to testimony by Bernard Lewis during the ASLB hearings on McGuire hydrogen control. A stationary flame imparts the maximum energy in a very small area, thus causing the maximum temperature rise.

l Because of the ccmplex geometry and boundary conditions, it was decided that the computer code HEATING 5 would be used for the solution to the heat trans-fer problem. The problem was modeled in three dimensions, using approximately 2700 nodes. Radiative and convective heat transfer from the flame and hot l1 gasses to the wall were modeled. Heat conduction in solide and radiative and convective heat transfer'across gaps, were included in analyzing heat' transfer to.and through the ice condenser wall. 5.5.3 Results The results of the-analysis for ice condenser foam temperature rise due to heat input from a stationary flame and hot gasses is shown in Figure 5.5-2 for the elevation coinciding with the level of the maximum foam temperature. The maximum temperature reached in any part of the foam is 123 C (253 F) substantially below the temperature at which pyrolysis of the foam would begin to occur. Figures 5.5-3 and 5.5-4, which show the temperature distri-bution at elevations above and below the flame, illustrate why the foam temperature remains low. Conduction of heat is very-efficient in the ' axial direction up and down the wall in the gap between ducts, and thus the 5.5-2 Revision 1

After this exposure, the igniter was tested for operability and was visually examined. All tests were performed successfully; therefore surface recombination for 1 extended periods does not interfere with the ability of the igniters to perform its function.

4. Provide a complete discussion of the accident symptoms which will result in actuation of-the ignition system. Considering a spectrum of accidents, identify the minimum time period in which actuation is requirdd. Identify and justify the mode of. actuation, i.e. , automatic or remote manual.

Response

The hydrogen mitigation system'is actuated at the direction of the Shift. Supervisor upon automatic actuation of the Safety Injection System and when symptoms of a loss of-coolant accident are identified. This is described more thoroughly in Section 3.0. Because it takes a substantial amount of time during an accident to reach the point where the core has been partially uncovered and metal / water reaction is producing hydrogen, the required actuation of the hydrogen mitigation system upon initiation of safety injection will ensure that the igniters are energized and ready long before hydrogen concentrations in containment have reached an ignitable mixture. It is also for this reason that remote manual actuation of the igniters is adequate. (J h.

At that time, Westinghouse performed various calculations to model possible nonuniform ice bed. melting and showed that burnthrough was not a problem and that con-siderable margin remained in the ice bed. Independent of the Westing-house efforts, Battelle Northwest Laboratories evaluated ice condenser performance after being commissioned by TVA and Duke Power. BNL con-firmed that no burnthrough would occur-. The phenomena associated with potential maldistribution for hydrogen-steam jets would be comparable to the pure steam jets evaluated originally and found to be acceptable.

Response

See Section 4.6. , 1 c) Provide the results of analyses to determine the effect of various hydrogen combustion assumptions considering the following: i) Combustion of lean hydrogen mixtures withLpartial' combustion.

Response

It is difficult to determine correct CLASIX input parameters at' hydrogen levels below that at which downward propagation occurs (8-8.5% by volume). This is because the amount of hydrogen consumed becomes a function of igniter location, as does burn time in each compartment, and flames do not propagate throughout a corrpartment.but only in certain directions away from igniters. Hydrogen flames at 8.5% hydrogen by volume produce hotter, more energetic flames, which burn throughout the compartment. It is our judgement that cases of lean burning wiht' partial combustion

  1. ' are bounded by results of analysis at 8.5% and above.

ii) Complete combustion of hydrogen at various setpoints. 7.0-9 Revision 1 I

CLASIX results show this to be the case then the predicted pressure differentials will be compared to the maximum allowable differential v pressures to determine the margins in capability of the containment structure.

,.      h)    Since the original S 2D transient analyses did not mechanistically consider termination of the accident, it is necessary to identify the effects of core recovery.                      Therefore, either demonstrate that various modes of core recovery do not adversely affect the hydrogen and steam release rates and therefore the containment pressure and 1

temperature response or provide the results of analyses which address the more likely scenarios which affect core recovery.

Response

P V) Westinghouse has conducted an analysis to investigate the effect'of core reflood on hydrogen and steam generation rates. Utilizing the codes WFLASH and LOCTA, it was assumed that the emergency core cooling systems were. activated after the core was uncovered and still in a coolable geo-metry. The resulting peak hydrogen and steam flow rates were less than one pound /second and less than thirty pounds /second, respectively. 1 Hydrogen generation was terminated within five minutes of ECCS actuation. - The reflood transient increased the total mass of hydrogen generated by less than one percent. Similar results were obtained from an independent analysis conducted by TVA utilizing the MARCH code. As a result of these analyses, it was concluded that the core reflood transient will have an insignificant effect on the analyses presented in Chapter 4. m 7.0-15 Revision 1

  • already been done. Accordingly, it was decided.that a more prudent i 3 -.

i course,was to examine whether the distributed ignition system would-

protect containment integrity with an adequate margin during a series of sensitivity analyses using conservative' assumptions for the boundary and initial conditions to be input into CLASIX.

The first case considered sas that of minimum availability of operable containment pressure suppression safeguard systems. This-is analyzed as Case 1 in Section 4.6. The second case considered the effects of enhanced hydrogen release rate to the containment. It had been speculated that for a given hydrogen generation rate, MARCH might underpredict the release rate to containment by a factor of two. An additional factor of two was added, so that the o I - U rate of hydrogen release used in the analysis was four times that used in earlier analysis. The time scale was compressed by a suitable factor so that the total hydrogen release mass was maintained at 1500 lbm. In-Section 4.6, this is analyzed as Case 2. A third analysis case, Case 3 in Section 4.6, considered the possible effects of variation in the mass'and energy release rate during the blow-down phase of the LOCA which leads to core degradation. It was noted that almost all of the mass and energy release from the reactor coolant 4 system occurs during the blowdown phase of the LOCA and prior to core degradation and hydrogen release. During core uncovery, the mass and. energy release rates from the reactor coolant system der.rease substan-O- tially because the system becomes in pressure equilibrium with the 7.0-16a Revision 1 New Page l

containment due to loss of inventory. Accordingly, the mass and energy (n) release during the period of hydrogen release are insignificant com-pared to the earlier period.- This being the case, the initial condi-tions for the hydrogen release phase of the accident may be bounded by considering a worse case set of containment conditions during the blow-down phase of a LOCA. The selected worse case was containment pressure. at the highest calculated value for a small break LOCA and a total melt-out of the ice inventory in the ice condenser. This is a very conserva-tive assumption since design basis events do not cause a meltout of the total ice inventory. The other conservatisms in this assumption are discussed in Section 4.6. The results of the analysis of these three cases are presented in Section p 4.6. As noted in that section, in all cases the containment responded in V) 5 a manner which ensured the preservation of structural integrity. At no time did a detonable mixture occur anywhere in containment. It is concluded that the hydrogen mitigation system will perform its intended function under a wide variety of-initial and boundary condi-tions within the containment with an adequate safety margin. It is also concluded that the consideration of the bounding cases of'high hydrogen release rates and worst case initial conditions for hydrogen release at the end of the blowdown period proves that adequate safety margin is available in the system and that-it will perform its function for any selected accident sequence which could reasonably be expected.

Response

A study was conducted to identify the major fog formation and removal mechanisms within an ice condenser containment' Additionally, the ef-- b- .

 \_./

fect of any resulting fog on the operation of the distributed ignition system was evaluated. Fog concentrations throughout containment were obtained by simultaneously solving the mass conservation equations for-- fog droplets in each of the containment's subcompartments. These equa- 1 tions incorporated fog formation due-to condensation and reac,ar coolant system blowdown as well as fog removal by gravitational settling and-sprays. The calculated results were: 1) Fog will not affect the ! standard hydrogen flammability limits in the lower and upper compart-ments. 2) Although unlikely, fog present in the upper plenum may l raise the lower flammability limit slightly. However, ignition will occur at the design basis hydrogen concentration of 8.0-8,5 v/o. I \_ t 7.0-17 Revision 1

Analytical work has shown that the mean caoplet size formed by the break flow is approximately 4p. -To account foi condensation and agglomeration, this study assumed a mean droplet diameter of 10p. Further analysis indicated that significant amounts of fcq are generated only when the initial state of the break flow is subcooled or saturated liquid. Therefore, fog generation was assumed to terminate when the reactor vessel level fell below the break elevation. Approximately fifty per-cent of the break flow was vaporized, leaving the remaining mass suspended as fog droplets. Knowing that thermal boundary layers are formed near cold surfaces, the Hijikata-Mori theory of fog formation within thermal boundary layer was used to evaluate fog formation due to nucleation. Analysis has shown that when local vapor supersaturation reaches critical supersaturation, rapid fog formation occurs within the boundary layer. Since micronsize droplets are obtained within a few h V milliseconds, very little supersaturation is required for further growth. During fog formation within the boundary layer, the bulk fluid temperature is decreased via heat transfer to the cold surface. If the bulk fluid temperature has dropped below the dew point, then it was 3- assumed that bulk stream condensation has occurred. Calculations based on studies of the growth of cloud drops by condensation and observations of valley fog have shown that the mean droplet size varies from 8p to ! 14p. A 10p droplet diameter was, therefore, assumed. The only significant fog removal mechanism considered was collision with spray droplets. A removal' efficiency of 100% within the volume covered by containment sprays was assumed. (Varying the. fog removal efficiency did not significantly affect the study's conclusions.) Although removal _by l pb 7.0-17a Revision 1 New Page-

b) . droplet is so small that the effect was minimal. Agglomeration is a potentially significant removal mechanism that was simplistically treated by assuming the mean-droplet size grew to 10p. Other potentially signi-ficant removal mechanisms that were not considered are impingement on structures and the " spray" resulting from ice melting. The effect of a fog on hydrogen combustion was evaluated by utilizing the

            -work of von Karman. Three energy equations were developed to model the combustion kinetics and heat transferred to the unburned gas and fog.           I Comparisons between von Karman's work and experimental data obtained from Factory Mutual were good.      Analysis has shown that the minimum fog inert-ing~ concentration varies approximately with the square of the volume mean p       droplet diameter.

s I U-Analysis of fog formation and removal rates revealed that the upper and lower compartments maintained lower fog concentrations than the upper plenum. When the hydrogen concentration reached the lower flammability limit (4%) in the lower and upper compartments, the calculated fog con-centrations were a factor of ten and five, respectively, below the inert-

ing limit of approximately 8x10 4 v/o. The calculated fog concentration in the upper plenum was sufficient to inert the mixture when a hydrogen I concentration of 4 v/o was achieved. However, when the hydrogen con-centration reached 8.0-8.5 v/o, the calculated fog concentration was at least two times smaller than the required concentration for inerting, e approximately 2x10 2 y/o, p V 7.0-17b Revision 1 New Page 1

Because of the conservatisms mentioned earlier, essentially all fog (h ! generated within the lower compartment was transported to the upper , plenum. The severity of these conservatisms was obvious when the analytical model was compared to the complex geometry and congestion present within an ice condenser containment. However, due to the complexity of the analysis, fog removal by mechanisms other than spray collision and gravitational settling was not quantifiable. As a result, it was recognized at the beginning of the study that the calculated results would be more qualitative than quantitative. Considering the calculated results and the conservatisms inherent in the analytical ! methodology discussed earlier, it was concluded that: 1) Fog present in the lower and upper compartments would not affect the hydrogen lower flammability limit. 2) Fog present in the upper plenum is not expected to significantly affect hydrogen's lower flammability limit. Ignition is O' V expected to occur at concentrations well below the design basis concen-tration of 8.0-8.5 v/o. In order to assess the effects of inerting in a volume of containment, two analyses were performed using CLASIX. This first, identified as Case 4 in Section 4.6, considered that the lower compartment became inerted such that neither ignition nor propagation could occur there. 4 The second analysis, designated Case 5 in Section 4.6, considered tha' the upper plenum of the ice condenser was inerted. The results of the analysis of these two cases are presented in Section 4.6. As noted in that section, in neither case is containment integrity challenged; indeed, containment pressure remained below design pressure at all times. Examination of the hydrogen concentration in the various w 7.0-17c Revision 1 New Page

compartments showed that at no time did a detonable mixture occur in any

We     1 conclude that the consequences of fog formation, even if it leads to compartment inerting, do not_ represent a safety concern.
