MONTICELLO VIERATION TIET

SUMMARY

REPORI' June 12, 1972 Vibration measurements were made on the reactor internals at hbnticello starting 12/22/70 with cold flow tests and being completed 7/6/71 with the turbine trip test from 100% power, 100% coolant flow. This is a sur.ary report of the measure-ments, listing the measured amplitudes, criteria and with a discussion and evaluation of the significance of the results.

The results of these measurements and tests indicate that vibration amplitudes are all within acceptable limits for nomal operation up to 100% power and 100% flow. 3he high-est levels of vibration occurred on the jet pump riser pipes during transient and unbalanced flow conditions. Jet pumps were cavitating during the cold recirculation pu=p trip tests. Automatic interlocks normally prevent operation above 20% pump speed in the cold condition; the pu=p trip tests were i done from 65% pump speed and therefore resulted in vibration levels significantly higher than expected during normal oper-ation. Even though vibration levels were less than the ac-ceptance criteria for unbalanced flow conditions, procedural controls have been es oablished to further reduce these levels.

The "Results - Sumnry and Discussion",Section I, covers in detail the maximum vibrations measured in each section of the reactor listing the maximum a=plitudes both in tems of inches peak to peak motion and the percent this a=plitude is of the criterion. The detailed tabulation of the criteria and the measurements is given in Section II, " Criteria and Measure-ments". Sections III and IV are a tabulation of raw data included in the complete test record; these sections are not included as part of the sumary report.Section V, " Vibration Instrumentation", discusses the type and location of sensors and associated instranentation.

.1. Shroud-Separator Assembly Vibration Measurements The maximum vibration motions of the shroud-separator assembly for all steady operating conditions, with both balanced and unbalanced flow, were 0.001" peak to peak at 6. to 7. Hz and .0006" peak to peak at 14.3 Hz. These represent 1. 8% and 3.2% of the respective criterion.

The highest vibration amplitudes are related to the opening of a pressure relief valve and to scram when operating at and above 50%

power. This vibration was very transient in nature, never lasting more than 1. to 1. 5 seconds. The maximum transient amplitudes measured were-as follows:

(2) The amplitudes measured occurred for less than 1. 5 seconds. 1 (3) This reading occurred during "A" pump coastdown when unbalanced flow passed through critical region (see Note 1).

The amplitudes listed for transient conditions last only 1. to 2. seconds, j

4. In-Core Guide Tube Housing Vibration Motion The maximum vibtation amplitudes of the in-core guide tube housing occurred during the cold unbalanced flow test. This amplitude was 0.0098" peak to peak at 45 Hz which is 19% of the criterion. During the hot flow tests, the amplitude never exceeded 6.6% of the criterion.

5. Control Rod Guide Tubes The maximum vibration strain amplitude occurred during unbalanced cold flow operation. The amplitude was 69. micro strain peak to peak at 19 Hz which is 9% of the criterion. All readings during the hot flow tests were below 1% of the criterion. .

11. Criteria and Measurements  !

I The vibration criteria and the measurements for each of the five sections or components in the reactor are both tabulated in tables {

with the following five headings:

{

" Table l ' - Shroud and Separator Assembly Vibration Amplitudes j Table 2 - Jet Pump Riser Pipe Tangential Vibration Motion Tabic 3 - Jet Pump (Top) Vibration Motion (Radial) j Table 4 - Incore Guide Tube Housing Vibration Motior.

Table 5 - Control Rod Guide Tube Vibration Motion i Each table is composed of two parts, with the first part titled l "A-CRITERIA", and the s econd part, "B-MEASURED VIBRATION }

AMPLITUD ES". The source and the significance of the information j j

given in each part is discussed in the following paragraphs: l i

1 A-CRITERIA _

j The criteria listed in the following tables represents the vibration amplitude at the sensor location for a limiting stress at the point of maximum stress in l the reactor internals structure.

In order to provide assurance that the limiting stress criteria which are f j established as an acceptance basis for the vibration tests are conservative, the l l

ASME Code design values for endurance limit are used as a guide. The 1968 i

edition of the ASME Nuclear Vessel Code establishes the endurance limit as

!' "two times the Sa value at 106 cycles in the applicable fatigue curve. " For j austenitic materials, such as the stainless steel and inconel from which BWR  ;

6 internals are constructed, the design Sa value at 10 cycles is 26,000 psi. f

. Therefore, the code would permit a vibration stress of f 26,000 psi which j corresponds to a design endurance limit of 52,000 psi, i

j The procedures and criteria applied in evaluating the acceptability of vibration j

of BWR reactor internals are based on engineering judgment where more i

specific information is lacking, and are more conservative than requirements  !

of the ASME Code for Nuclear Vessels. The criteria used in the General Electric BWRs is to limit the alternating peak stress intensity, including all i i

stress concentration factors, to a value of f 10,000 psi. This is assumed to be a conservative criterion and represents an additional margin of safety l i

compared to the value permitted by ASME Codes. ,

t 1 l

, II-2  :

The relationship between the vibration amplitude at the sensor location and the stress at the point of maximum stress is determined analytically for normal mode response amplitudes and stresses. Where a more detailed analysis is needed, the normal mode responses are combined to take into account non-model force inputs (i. e. , input forces at one and two coordinate locations only).

The normal mode calculations, in general, involve the following steps:

• When computer programs are used, the steps are often combined in the i program so that only the problem statement steps 1 and 2 require detailed effort.  ;

(1) Express the reactor internals structure as a mathematical model in terms of lumped masses and inertias, and lumped springs with  !

coordinate identifications assigned to each.

(2) Calculate the stiffness and the mass matrices. The mass matrix should include the effect of the water in the vessel which will add hydrodynamic masses to many coordinates and will add off diagonal mass terms to the matrix.

(3) Calculate the natural frequencies (eigen values) and the corresponding normal modes (eigen vectors).

(4) For each normal mode determine the location of the limiting stress.

(5) From the normal mode and limiting stress calculations, determine the limiting vibration amplitude at the sensor locations.

B-MEASUREMENTS  :

The data for the vibration measurements were recorded on three 6-channel chart recorders and a 14-channel tape recorder. Detailed characteristics of the instrumentation are given in Section V.

The measured values reported in the following five tables were taken from the chart recordings using a purely manual procedure aided by a Gerber Variable Scale. In general, when the vibration amplitudes were fairly low (i. e. , les s than 10% of the criterion), both the amplitude and the frequency tended to be random. When the amplitudes were higher single frequency, components tended to predominate. The vibration amplitudes listed repre-sent the largest peak to peak value obseised during the recording period (usually for twenty seconds or more), and the frequency (Hz ) for each amplitude reading.

V-1 SECTION V INTRODUCTION All of the vibration measuring systems used vere composed of a vibration transducer, a signal conditioning unit, a magnetic tape recorder and a chart recorder for monitoring readout. As usually employed, this system had an overall sensitivity of 0. 0005" for 1. O mm (smallest division) on the chart recorder and . 010" for _sne volt into the tape recorder. The strain gage read-out had a sensitivity of 5 ue per division (1. O mm). The overall sensitivity of I

each system could be increased by a factor of from 2 to 10 depending upon l the electrical backy:round noise.

l Table V-1 and drawings 761E260 (sheets 1 and 2) indicate the location and i

measurement direction of each of the vibration transducers or sensors used.

l The following sectior.s giv3 a detailed description of the four measurement systems and their components.

A-1 DISPLACEMENT TRANSDUCER i  !

The sensing element in the displacement transducer is a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). The LVDT consists of a three-coil assembly with the coils wound side by side on a hollow spool. The center coil or primary winding is energized by a 5-volt 3KHz power supply to provide a continuous A-C magnetic field. The two outside or secondary windings are connected in opposing series so that the voltage induced in one coil tends to cancel that from the other. A magnetic armature is guided in the hollow spool, and its position relative to the three coils determines the voltages in the two outside coils. When the armature position is such that equal voltage are generated in the outside coils, the net output voltage is zero, and the armature is located at the electro-mechanical null position. See Fig. V-1 for a schematic diagram of the LVDT. The armature of the LVDT is connected to a spring loaded probe follower. As the probe is moved with respect to the case, the net output is proportional to the probe position (displacement). Fig. V-1 shows a cross-sectional sketch of the displacement transducer.

This transducer is a relative motion sensing unit and usually mounted so the probe is against a relatively non-vibrating structure, and the coil assembly is mounted on the vibrating structure (e. g. , vessel wall to shroud). The probe tip is initially set so the LVDT is in its electro-mechanical null position. The LVDT is designed so the probe can move 0. 20" in either direction from the null position and remain in the linear range of the transformer.

Although the LVDT is adjusted to its null position when mounted, by the time it is to be used, temperature changes have caused expansions and contractions which change the relative position of the vibrating and non-vibrating surfaces. ,

The inaccessibility of the LVDT makes a mechanical adjustment of the electro-mechanical null position impossible; thus it is necessary to have an external method of " nulling" the LVDT electrical output so that the signal:

conditioning and readout equipment will remain on scale. This null adjust-ment of the LVDT electrical output is handled by a specially-built unit called the " balance box", the output of which becomes the input to the demodulator.

For a block diagram of the complete signal conditioning system, see Fig. V-2.

The balance box can be switched so as to apply a calibration signal to the d emodulator. l The demodulator unit is Validyne Engineering Corp. Model CD-19, which is plugged into a module case containing an oscillator that produces the 3KHz carrier excitation signal for the LVDT and the DC power for the CD-19.

The demodulator converts the modulated 3KHz signal from the LVDT into a voltage proportional to the armature position, and at the modulation frequency.

The CD-19 output goes through a specially-built switching unit to the tape recorder and the chart recorder. The switching unit makes it possible to play the tape recorder back to the chart recorder.

I A .! V Et,0CJTY SENSOR ,

The velocity-type vibration sensor used was a seismic self-generating i

unit whose output voltage was proportional to the linear velocity of the l

surface upon which it was mounted.

This sensor is basically a coil of wire that vibrates in a magnetic field in a direction that is at right angles to the magnetic flux lines. The coil of ,

wire is mounted on a weighted spring-supported arm, which is free to vibrate around a pivot at the opposite end. When the frequency of vibration is higher than the natural resonance of the suspended system (spring, arm and coil), the suspended syst em essentially remains in an undistrubed position. Thus, relative motion (velocity) between the st ationary coil and i the moving magnetic field causes a voltage to be generated in the coil, i

The output voltage from the sensor is amplified and integrated by a  ;

Validyne linear amplifier and integrator (Model AM-49), which makes the i l

output pr oportional to displacement as shown in the block diagram in l

Figure V-3. This integrated signal goes through a specially-designed j

switching circuit to a magnetic tape recorder and a pen-type chart recorder,  ;

The overall response characteristics of each component in this velocity-to-displacement measuring system is listed in Table V-2 for f each of the components indicated by the block diagram in Fig. V-3.

- V-Il A-3 ACCELEROMETER The acceleration-type sensor used was a seismic self-generating unit whose output voltage was proportional to the linear acceleration of the surface upon which it was mounted. The sensing element in the '

accelerometer was a special ceramic-type piezoelectric material that generates an electrical charge proportional to its mechanical distortion.

This ceramic-type material was used to support a mass such that when the system was accelerated along its sensitive axis, the acceleration forces at the mass would distort the piezoelectric ceramic generating an electric charge. (The resultant voltage sensitivity would depend on the '

total capacitance of the piezoelectric, leads, etc. )

The accelerometer was used with an Unholtz-Dickie voltage amplifier as shown in the block diagram in Fig. V-4. The output from the amplifier was integrated twice by the linear amplifier and two-st age integrator. This double integration gave an output which was proportional to the displacement.

The displacement signal goes through a switching system to a tape recorder and a 6-pen chart recorder. The switching unit also allows the tape recorder to play back to the chart recorder.

The overall response characteristic of each component in this acceleration to displacement measuring system is listed in Table V-2 for each of the I components indicated by the block diagram in Fig. V 4.

A-5 RECIRCULATION PUMP SPEED INSTRUMENTATION  :

i The rotational speed of the recirculation pumps was de termined by counting the number of once-per-rev. spikes recorded on the chart j recorder. The sensing system used was a photocell and lamp assembly l that saw changes in light caused by different width black marks painted on the pump-motor coupling. The changes in light caused a change in  !

resistance of the photocell which is in series with a power source and a  ;

variable load resistor. j

\

The pulses across the load resistor are sent through a switching circuit to a magnetic tape recorder and a 6-pen chart recorder. j i

The switching circuit allowed the tape recorder to play back to the l chart recorder.  ;

The relative position of the large and small pulse from the different j width strips on the coupler determine the direction of the pump rotation.  ;
