Technical Report TR-5310-1 WF WNE ENGmEERING SERVICES

> 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION The purpose of the Mark 1 Torus Program is to evaluate the effects of  ;

hydrodynamic loads resulting from a loss of coolant accident and/or an SRV I

) discharge to the torus structure. This report summarizes the results of l extensive analysis on the Pilgrim torus structure and reports safety margins against established criteria. The content of this report deals with the torus 1 shell, external support system, vent header system and internal structures.

) Analysis and results for piping attached to the torus (including shell pene-trations and internal piping), for the SRV line (except the submerged portion and Tee-Quencher), and for the SRV line vent pipe penetration will be pre-sented in a separate piping report, TR-5310-E.

The criteria used to evaluate the torus structure is the ASME Boiler &

Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Division 1, with addenda through Summer 1977 (Reference 11) and Code Case N-197. Modifications were done under Section XI of the ASME Code and meet the Summer 1978 edition of Section III for design, materials and fabrication.

A great many technical reports have been written and issued as a part of this program. These reports provide detailed descriptions of the phenom-ena, the physics controlling the phenomena, calculational methods and detailed procedures for plant unique load calculations. Several of these documents are listed as references in this report. The approach of this report will be to reference these documents, wherever possible, and to avoid a re-statement of the same information.

A major part of this program has dealt with providing plant-unique load calculation procedures (References 9, Volume 1-10 are examples of this). In most cases, the loads used to support the analysis were calculated in strict accordance with those procedures, as amended by NUREG 0661 (Reference 2). In some cases, optional methods have been used; these methods are specifically referenced in Program documentation. Examples of these are the use of plant-l

Technical Report YE WE TR-5310-1 N N N ES

)

unique SRV test data to calibrate SRV analysis, and use of plant unique quarter scale pool swell movies to refine certain water impact and froth loads. In a few cases, analysis assumptions have been made that do not appear in Program documentation; these are identified in the text.

)

Extensive structural analysis was performed as a part of this evalua-tion. The major analysis was for dynamic response to time-varying loads.

Analysis for static and thermal conditions was also done. The computer code

)

used to perform almost all of this analysis was the STARDYNE code, as marketed by Control Data Corporation. STARDYNE is a fully qualified and accepted code in this industry; details of the code are available through CDC. Cases where a computer code other than STARDYNE is used will be identified in the text.

All dynamic analysis used damping equal to 2% of critical, unless stated otherwise.

As an aid in processing the large amounts of calculated data, post-i processors for the STARDYNE program were written and used. These programs were limited in function to data format manipulations and simple combinations of load or stress data; no difficult computational methods were included.

The loads and load combinations considered in this program required special consideration to determine the appropriate levels of ASME Code appli-cation. Reference 3 was developed to provide this standard. Table 5-1 of Reference 3 is the basis for all the evaluation work in this report; it is reproduced in this report as Table 1 and shows 27 load combinations that must be considered for each structure. The number actually becomes several times that when we consider the many different values associated with various SRV discharge conditions. The approach used in the final evaluation of structures is to reduce this large number to a smaller number of cases by conservative bounding. For example, load combinations including SSE seismic, have a higher allowable than the same combination with OBE seismic. For these cases, our first evaluation attempt is to consider the SSE combination against the OBE allowables. If this produces an acceptable result, those numbers are reported as final. This procedure results in many cases where safety margins are understated; this is the case for most of the results.

) As an aid in correlating discussion of particular load analyses to detailed program documentation, most analysis described in this report has been referenced directly to a paragraph in the Load Definition Report (Refer-once 1). This has been done by identifying the applicable LDR paragraph in

)

parenthesis immediately following the title of the load. This referencing directs the reader to a more detailed description of the load than can be included in this report.

) 2.0 PLANT DESCRIPTION 2.1 General Arrangement

) The configuration of the Pilgrim torus structure is shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2.

Figure 2-1 shows a p'.e.a view of the torus. It is made up of the

) sixteen (16) mitred sections, connected to the drywell by eight (8) equally spaced vent pipes. It is supported by two external columns and an inter-mediate saddle at each of sixteen places, as shown. The saddles and columns are connected to the basemat with eight anchor bolts per saddle. Four earth-

) quake restraints, spaced equally around the torus, connect the belly of the torus to the basemat (Figure 3-10).

Figure 2-2 shows some of the inside arrangement. Ring girders reenforce i

the outer shell at each of the sixteen planes defined by the external support system. The vent header system is supported off of the ring girders and is directly connected to the drywell via the vent pipes. Openings where the vent pipes penetrate the torus shell are sealed by bellows. The ring girder also i

supports the catwalk, spray header and SRV tee-quenchers. Figures 2-3 to 2-21 show several details of the torus structure. Table 2.0 lists several of the plant specific dimensions.

2.2 Recent Modifications Over the period of the past few years, many modifications have been made to the Pilgrim torus, both to increase its strength and also to mitigate the hycirodynamic loads. The modifications are illustrated and listed in the composite sections of Figures 2-3 and 2-4, along with their installation dates. A description and illustration of each individual modification follows:

i l

Technical Report TE @E TR-5310-1 ENGNEERNG SERVICES l l

2.2.1 Modifications to Reduce Hydrodynamic Loads

)

Drywell Pressurization System ( AP System)

Installation of a system to maintain a pressure differential between torus and drywell was the first modification of this Program. The I

)

system is illustrated in Figure 2-5. It is designed to maintain a minimum positive pressure difference of 1.17 psi between the vent system (drywell) and the airspace inside the torus. The result of this pressure difference ( AP)  !

)

is to depress the water leg in the downcomers and reduce the water slug that must be cleared, if rapid pressurization of the drywell occurs. Early generic testing in the Program demonstrated that this was an effective means to reduce shell pressures related to DBA pool swell. The 1.17 psi pressure difference

)

was selected as the basis for the Pilgrim plant unique quarter-scale pool swell tests and is intended to be the normal operating condition of the plant. l The system complies with NUREG 0661, which requires two narrow range instru- )

ment channels with less than 1 0.1 psid error. Pilgrim Station uses a narrow

)

range instrument for drywell-to-wetwell AP and backup instruments to measure drywell and wetwell pressures separately. The maximum error for the above l instruments is 1 08 psid.

Downcomer Shortening l Downcomer shortening is an additional means of reducing the water slug that must be cleared from the downcomers during rapid drywell pressurization. Its primary advantage is to reduce pool swell loads during those periods of time when the A P system may be inoperative. It alsa allows for a very small water leg during normal operation, without the problems associated with higher drywell pressures. The downcomers at Pilgrim were cut

to provide a minimum submergence of 3.0 feet (distance from bottom of down-comer to minimum torus water level). l Vent Header Deflector The vent header deflector at Pilgrim is illustrated in Fig-ores 2-6 and 2-7. It is a 16-inch schedule 120 pipe with h-inch plate welded to the sides.

l

Technical Report YM TR-5310-1 6M

) The deflector extends under the belly of the vent header to protect the vent header from direct water impact during pool swell. It shields the most sensitive part of the vent header by separating and diverting the rising pool before it can reach the vent header. This deflector was

) included in the plant unique pool swell tests for Pilgrim to provide accurate vent header loadir.g for detailed analysis.

SRV Tee-Quencher

)

A tee-quencher has been installed at the discharge end of each main steam relief line to replace the existing ramsheads. A typical quencher and its support are illustrated in Figure 2-8. The quencher serves

) to divide the SRV discharge bubble into hundreds of smaller bubbles and to distribute them over an entire bay. This division and distribution of SRV discharge has been shown in generic testing to reduce torus shell pressure by f actors of two or more when compared to ramshead pressures. The plant-unique

) characteristics of these devices at Pilgrim were determined by in-plant test-ing after their installation. End cap holes in the tee-quencher were also provided to promote suppression pool mixing and minimize temperature gradients.

1 The quencher support is also illustrated in Figure 2-8. It is a 20-inch schedule 120 pipe welded to the ring girder, as shown.

w.

l

_ Temperature Monitoring System & RHR Return Lines The addition of a pool temperature monitoring system and an elbow to the discharge end of the RHR return lines are both intended to assure  !

proper operation of the SRV quencher. These modifications are illustrated in Figures 2-9, 2-10, 2-17 and 2-20.

Tne temperature monitoring system senses pool temperature through a set of 26 sensors set in thermowells around the torus shell (Figures

?-17 and 2-20). Of these 26,12 are mounted in redundant pairs (6 locations)

Technical Report TN TR-5310-1 6M

) to sense local pool temperature *. The remaining 14 are mounted in seven redundant pairs and are used along with the local sensors to determine bulk )

/

pool temperature. The system is hard wired to a console' in the control room. 'l/ '

,,j /

) The elbows on the RHR return lines were added to improve pool circulation during periods of extended SRV blcndown. Lirculation of the pocl "

with these lines asseras that local-to-bulk temperature differences will be minimized and that SRV quencher performance will be maintained for the maximum'

) possible time during extended discharge. These two RHR return lines were further modified by re-routing them to the ring girders. The ring girders react drag loads on these lines and also provide for reactions due to elbow discharge loads (see Figure 2-10).

)

Additional SRV Vacuum Breakers Each of the four SRV discharge lines at Pilgrim has been

> fitted with two, ten-inch vacuum breakers, in addition to the original one-inch vacuum breakers. This modification minimizes the temporary formation of r the high water leg in the SRV line which could occur due to steam condensation oscillation after an initial actuation; and thereby prevents the hign cldar-- -

) ing loads which could occur if a second actuation occurred at that t{me.' The location of these devices is different on each SRV line due te, space con-straints, and is not illustrated. ,

Removal of Submerged Piping Some of the piping inside the torus extended to greateh ,

depths than was necessary for its proper functioning. This additional ruirer-gence resulted in drag loads on the piping that was unnecessary. In arde; tc., /

reduce the loads, these piping systems were cut off to provide a three-foot' , ,

  • The si flocal paTrs are locatod in the six SRV tee-quencher bays. Only four j of these quenchers are operative; the other two are not cannected to the steam T relief lines and have been installed for possible future use. ',,

a 2

Technical Report WTF1 Fr?(E TR-5310-1 ENGNEERNG SERVICES 5 submergence at minimum torus water level. The five lines affected were the HPCI exhaust, RCIC exhaust, HPCI drain, RCIC drain and a 18-inch diameter i

spare line.

) In addition, the eight vent drain lines (one-inch diameter) were cut off and capped above the pool. In the future, any condensation in the vent system will be manually drained, as required.

4 Removal of Monorail The monorail originally installed al Pilgrim was a low capa-city unit of relatively light design. Modification of the unit to withstand worst-case froth loads was Judged impractical. The monorail was removed, and not replaced.

2.2.2 Modifications to Strengthen the Structure i

Torus Support Saddles and Anchor Bolts Support saddles were added under each ring girder as shown

/ in Figure 2-11. The saddles, support colunns and ring girder all lie in the sene plane and react all vertical loads on the torus - most of 1.he load i.;

reacted by the saddle.

Each saddle is constructed of 1 -inch type SA 516 GR 70 steel e web plates, which are welded to the torus shell at the top, and to a clevis /

I sole plate assembly on the bottom. Anchor bolt attachments are welded to the web phtes and clevis sok plates, and eight anchor bolts per saddle restrain upwant motion. A total of 128, two-inch diameter Williams Rock Bolts were installed, with a 24-inch minimum embedment into the basemat.

}. The ancher Dalt restraints are set with a small clearance, dnd the sole plates rest Gn lubrile plates, to allow for normal radial growth

, of the torus due to temperature changes. The lubrite plates rest on a bed j- plate which is grouted to the basemat.

Technical Report WMNE TR-5310-1 ENGNEERNG SERVICES Installation of the saddles required relocation of the 18-inch core spray lines, to eliminate interference problems.

Torus Support Columns and Bases

)

The torus columns were welded to the saddle webs and the bases will be held down by using the existing "J" bolts (two per column).

Figure 2-12 shows one of the two beams that bridge the base holding down the

)

column. There is a gap between the beam and base that will allow for thermal growth, radial movement of the column sliding on the lubrite plate.

Downcomer Tie-Rods and Vent Header Gussets The downcomer tie-rods and vent header gussets are illus-trated in Figure 2-13.

3 The tie-rods are constructed from 21-inch i schedule 40 pipe and provide greatly increased capacity to downcomer lateral loads than the original tie bars. They are attached to the downcomers with specially fabricated 24-inch pipe clamps, caitstructed from 3/4-inch steel. The clamps

, are prevented fro,n sliding on the downcomers by welded steel clips both above and below the clamp.

The gussets between the downcomers and vent header are to 3 reduce local jiitersection stresses due to chugging lateral loads on the down-c oiners . They are constructed from 1-inch 2 thick SA 516 GR 70 steel plate, and are welded to the vent header and downcomers.

Rin1_ Girder Weld Modifcation lhe weld between the ring girder and the torus shell will be increased in the area of the tee-quencher as illustrated in Figure 2-21. The e<isting 5/16-inch fillet weld was increased to l-inch, i as shown, to help react and distribute the laterai tee-quencher reaction loads due to SRV discharge.

Technical Report "RTA WNE TR-5310-1 ENGINEERING SERVICES

)

Catwalk and Handrail The catwalk and handrail at Pilgrim required substantial modification, as illustrated in Figures 2-14 and 2-15. The planned or com-pleted modifications included the following:

e Replacement of original catwalk extension support columns with four-inch diameter pipe columns.

)

e Addition of bracing between catwalk channels.

e Addition of lateral supports.

e Addition of grating restraints.

e Replacment of handrails.

Electrical Junction Box Modification There are two large, barrel-shaped, electrical junction

, boxes inside the Pilgrim torus. These boxes are mounted at the top of the torus, in the path of both froth 1 and froth 2 impingement loads. They are constructed with sheet metal covers which could deform under these loads.

The junction box covers were strengthened by the addition of external reenf orc <? ment as shown in Figure 2-19. The reenforcement consists of three longitudinal struts connected to two rings which encircle the box and prevent buckling from occurring.

Drywell,-jietwell_ Vacuum _Br,eake,r, Suppor_t_

The attachment between the wetwell vacuum breaker mounting stub and the end cap of the vent pipe was strengthened by the addition of three gussets as illustrated in Figure 2-18. This modification assures

1%'N T 531 1 N

) acceptable stress levels in the intersection, during postuleted pool swe!1 impact. There are ten vacuum breakers at the Pilgrim Plant.

Spray Header Support Modification

)

The spray header piping inside the torus is hung from the ring girder at the top of the torus, as illustrated in Figure 2-3. The original supports for this line was a "U" shaped rest support which could not

) react upward loads. These were modified as shown in Figure 2-16 to react the upward loads associated with pool swell and froth.

3.0 CONTAINMENT STRUCTURE ANALYSIS - OUTER SHELL & EXTERNAL SUPPORT SYSTEM (INCUDING ANCHORS)

The containment structure section of this report includes the analysis

)

and evaluation of the following structures:

Torus Shell Support Columns

)

Column-To-Torus Weld Support Saddles Saddle-to-Torus Weld Earthquake Restraints & Attachment Anchor (Tie-Down) System 3.1 Computer Models Analysis of the containment structures was accomplished using the computer models shown in Figure 3-1 to Figure 3-4. The detailed shell model shown in Figure 3-1 was used to calculate the effects of all loads on shell stress, as well as all symmetric loads on the support and anchor system. The

)

beam model shown in Figure 3-4 was used to determine the effects of asymmetric loads on the support system. Asymmetric loads on the torus structure are horizontal earthquake, SRV and chugging. Evaluation of the support system considered the combined effect of symmetric and asymmetric loads in accord-

)

ance with the load combination table (Table 1).

The detailed finite element model si,cwn in Figure 3-1 simulates one-half of the non-vent bay. It is bounded by the ring girder on one end and the mid-bay point on the other. The vent header system is assumed to be dynamically uncoupled from the shell by the support saddles and is not included in this model. This model was constructed with the assumption that the small offset that exists between the ring girder and, mitre joint will not atfect results; accordingly, the offset is not included in the model.

The computer analysis was run for two different pool swell l conditions, full A P and zero A P. Figures 3-5 through 3-7 show comparative l values and time histories for the two cases. The only difference between the analyses was the input loads; the models were identical. Details of the full load distribution can be found in References 1, 9 and 10.

Plant-unique quarter scale pool swell tests showed that the

, effective water mass was less than 100% af ter bubble breakthrough and was different for both zero and full A P conditions (Reference 4). The water mass l

used in the computer simulatio1 was constant throughout the analysis and was set at the average of the two reduced masses identified in the quarter scale tests. The reduced and average mass values are given in Table 3. This simplification in water mass analysis is consistent with the relatively slow J. (pseudo-static) nature of the pool swell load. This simplification only L. affects the inertial (frequency) calculation; the effects of weight are accurately calculated for each load and time in the deadweight analysis.

)

3.2.2 Condensation Oscillation - DBA (4.4.1)

Analysis for condensation oscillation (CO) was also done y with the structural model shown in Figure 3-1.

The condensation oscillation shell load is specified as a spectrum of pressures in 1 Hz bands (Reference 1). The analysis for this load

was performed by considering the effects'of unit loads at each load frequency (harmonic analysis) and ther, scaling and combining the i " Nual frequency effects to determine total stress at selected elements. The w 2e variations in the C0 spectrum (Reference 1) were evaluated by re-scaling the results of the unit load analysis. 100% of the water mass was used for all C0 analysis.

A plant-unique factor was applied to the nominal condensation oscillation

~

pressures as discussed in Reference 1; the factor is listed in Table 3.

y .

( The corrhination of individual harmonic stresses into total element stress was done by considerir; frequency contributions at 31 Hz and tw;

/ '<

e ne

l l

)

Technical Report YM l TR-5310-1 N sot \/lCES '

) below. The actual combination was done by adding the absolute value of the four highest harmonic contributors to the SRSS combination of the others for shell stress. Loads on the support and anchor system were determined by adding the absolute value of the three highest harmonic contributors to the

)

SRSS of the others. These combination methods and use of the 31 Hz cutoff are the result of extensive numerical evaluation of full scale test data, which is reported and discussed in Ref erences 6 and 14, and in Appendix 2 of this report.

)

3.2.3 Chugging 3.2.3.1 Pre-Chugging & IBA/C0 (4.5.1.2 & 4.4.1)

)

The pre-chug load was evaluated for both the sym-metric and asymmet.ric distribution described in Reference 1. Results for the symmetric pre-chug analysis were also used for IBA/C0 as described in para-graph 4.4 of Reference 1.

Results for symmetric pre-chug were developed directly f rom the unit-load harmonic analysis done for C0. The results of that analysis were scaled to two psi (the pre-chug pressure) and all frequen-cies in the pre-chug range were scanned to determine the highest possible stresses. l

)

Analysis for asymmetric pre-chug was performed using the beam model in Figure 3-4 by applying the unbalanced lateral load through the prescribed f requency range.

)

3.2.3.2 Post Chugging (4.5.1.2)

Post chugging is defined as a spectral load across a wide band, similar in nature to the CO, but much lower in amplitude.

Analysis done on one of the TES plants produced very low stresses and loads that were bounded by pre-chug values. The analyses for pre- and post chug produced these results for maximum shell stress:

SRSS of others.

Additional work published in Reference 12 showed

) that pre-chug bounded post chug (to 50 Hz) for column and saddle loads (Table It also showed that PL+Pb stress due to post chug exceeded 5-1, Ref. 12).

pre-chug by 53%.

) TES analysis for post chug used the pre-chug stress values. The pre-chug stress may be increased by 53% to account for the 30 to 50 Hz contribution and they will still meet allowable stress.

) No further post chug analysis was done for the shell. This position was also influenced by the f act that post chug stresses were very small.

) 3.2.4 SRV Discharge Calculation of stresses due to SRV line discharge pressures, were also done using the finite element model in Figure 3-1. The loading

) function used for this analysis was based on data collected from in-plant SRV testing in this facility. Testing was done in general accordance with the guidelines given in Reference 2. In these tests, pressure amplitude and f requency were recorded and compared to calculated values for the test condi-

) tions. Factors were developed that related test to calculated values for both amplitude and frequency (see Appendix 1). These f actors were then applied to calculated load values for other SRV conditions; the structural analyses were

)

)

Technical Report TN TR-5310-1 N SBt\/ ICES

)

performed using these adjusted values. Appendix 1 discusses the in-plant test and enalysis in more detail. A typical set of SRV shell pressures is shown in Figure 3-8.

)

The method of modeling the water mass in the SRV computer model was the subject of extensive study in this program. Initial atterrpts to reproduce measured stresses by applying measured pressures to the computer models f ailed badly. After considerable study of the nature of the SRV

) phenomena itself, and the differences between it, and the pool swell related loads, it appeared that a dry structure analysis should produce acceptable correlation. The method was tested and correlation of calculated-to-measured shell stress was excellent. The dry structure analysis method was subse-

)

quently used as a basis for all SRV analysis.

3.2.5 Deadweight, Thermal & In'ternal Pressure

)

Deadweight, thermal and internal pressure analyses were done using the computer model shown in Figure 3-1. Resulting stresses were calcu-lated and considered for all elements on the model.

I For the thermal analysis, conduction into the columns and saddles f rom the torus was considered. Convection from the columns and saddles to ambient produced a calculated temperature gradient in these ele-ments. The torus water, internals and shell were all assumed at the same

)

temperature.

3.2.6 Seismic

)

Seismic analysis for shell stress was done by applying stat-ic G levels to the model in Figure 3-1. Load orientation and values were adjusted for vertical and horizontal earthquakes in accordance with Table 3.

The effects of lateral seismic loads on the support system were determined using the model in Figure 3-4. The effective water mass used in this (lateral) analysis was adjusted in line with test results which showed

)

)

Technical Report YM TR-5310-1 MM

)

that net dynamic reaction loads due to the water mass were substantially less than those obtained from static application of the seismic acceleration. A discussion of this fact can be found in Reference 7; the effective water mass used can be found in Table 3 of this report.

)

3.2.7 Fatigue Analysis

)

Fatigue analysis of the torus shell and external support system is described here. Analysis of the shell at pipicg penetrations will be described in TES report TR-5310-2, when the piping analysis is complete.

)

The fatigue analysis of the shell and support system was a conservative one, which was based on applying a stress concentration f actor of 4.0 on the most highly stressed elements for each load case. In the case of the support system, only the column-to-torus and saddle web-to-torus welds

) were considered, since they have higher stresses then the rest of the support system. The process is conservative because:

e It applies the maximum stress concentration (4.0),

)

recognized by Section III of the ASME Code to all elements (Reference 11).

nd e It adds the maximum absolute stress for each load

) case even though they do not usually occur at the same element.

The procedure used in this analysis consists of the follow-

)

ing steps.

1. For a given load, locate the maximum component-level stresses (S x , S , Sxy) f r the f ree shell,

, local shell, and the supports.

2. For these locations, establish the stress intensity ranges and the approximate number of cycles.

)

Technical Report Y TR-5310-1 N SBi\/ ICES

) 3. Repeat the process for all other loads in the load combination.

4. Add the stress ranges for all loads, independent of

) sign.

5. Multiply these total stress ranges by 4.0 (the SIF).

)

6. Calculate the alternating stress intensity and com-plete the fatigue analysis in compliance with Ref-erence 11.

)

Fatigue analysis resulting from chugging was done assuming that the operator would depressurize the system within 15 minutes af ter chugg-ing begins. Plant procedures are presently under study to provide for this

) action.

3.3 Results and Evaluation Results are reported for each structural component of the containment system for the controll,79 load combination. Controlling load combinations are the ones that produce the smallest margins against the allowable stress -

not necessarily the highest stress.

)

All load combinations listed in Table 1 have been considered. As stated previously, most results include some level of bounding analysis and, therefore, understate the margins which actually exist.

)

3.3.1 Torus Shell Results of shell stress due to individually applied loads were calculated and maintained on a component stress level until all the load combinations were f ormed. Stress intensities were then calculated from these total component-level values.

)

)

Technical Report TN TR-5310-1 gMM The controlling load combinations for the shell at Pilgrim are cases 14 and 20 in Table 1; these are:  !

Case 14 - IBA.C0 + SRV + Seismic (SSE Used) + Pressure

)

+ Weight l

Case 20 - DBA.C0 + Seismic (SSE) + Pressure + Weight k

These load combinations control all categories of shell stress, although the location of the elements is different for the different types of stress. The .~ollowing table summarizes the controlling stresses.

Approximate locations of the controlling stresses are shown in Figure 3-9.

Technical Report TM TR-5310-1 6M 4.0 VENT HEADER SYSTEM 4.1 Structural Elements Considered f The vent header system, as defined in this section, includes the following structural components:

a. Vent Header (V.H.)

)

b. Main Vent Pipe (V.P.)
c. Downcomers (D.C.)
d. Downcomer Tie Bars
e. Deflector

)

f. Vent Header Support Columns & Attachments 9 VH/DC Intersection
h. VH/VP Intersection
i. VP/Drywell Intersection

)

J. Vent Header Mitre Joint The main vent bellows are considered in Section 7.0.

4.2 Computer Models Two computer models provided the means to analyze the vent header system, they are shown in Figures 4-1 through 4-4.

The first of these is a detailed shell model, (Figures 4-1 to 4-3),

which includes a highly detailed representation of one-half of the header in a non vent bay, complete with four downcomers.

The model also includes an approximate representation of one-half of the vent bay; this was intended to provide the proper boundary conditions and stif fness transition near the non-vent bay. The vent bay half of the model was not used for stress determination. This large finite element model was used primarily to determine shell stresses in the non-vent bay; some other

)

Technical Report TN TR-5310-1 ENGNEERNG SERVICES

) uses are discussed in the following text. It was used for both static and dynamic analysis and provided detailed stress gradient information in the downcomer/ vent header intersection region.

) The second vent header model is the beam model shawn in Figure 4-4.

This model represents a full vent bay, complete with vent pipe and downcomers; as well as a half non-vent bay on either side. It was used to determine boundary loads on the vent system components to support a more detailed stress

) analysis of those components. This model was used to define loads on the following elements:

e Vent Header Support Columns

) e Vent Pipe / Vent Header Intersection e Vent Pipe /Drywell Intersection e Vent Header Mitre Joint e Main Vent Pipe

)

The loads and moments taken from the beam model were used in further analysis to determine stresses. The calculation methods used for these stres-ses are:

)

( e VH support columns - hand analysis l

e VP/VH intersection - applied stress multipliers (stress intensification factors) from Reference 7 e VP/drywell intersection - used stress multipliers from -

l Reference 16 (Bijlaard) l e Mitre joint - used stress multipliers from detailed shell model (Figure 4-1) e Main vent pipe - hand analysis l

l The beam model used a stiffness representation of the VP/VH inter-section taken from Reference 8. Attachment stiffness between the vent pipe and drywell was calculated using References 17 and 18.

l l

)

Technical Report TN TR-5310-1 N SBt\/ ICES

) Pool swell water impact on the vent header deflector was calculated with a hand analysis. The impact forces were applied statically to a beam model and a dynamic load factor was applied (see Figure 4-5).

) 4.3 Loads Analysis 4.3.1 Pool Swell Loads

)

4.3.1.1 Pool Swell Water Impact Analysis for stresses due to pool impact and drag was done using both computer models.

)

Determination of shell stresses was done with the detailed model in Figure 4-1. For this analysis, force time histories based on QSTF test data were used (References 4, 9 and 10). These time histories

)

were applied at 100 nodal points on the shell model and the dynamic response of the structure was calculated. Relativ2 timing between loadings (Reference

1) was maintained to preserve accurate representation of longitudinal and circumferential wave sweep. Stresses in the vent header /downcomer inter-2 section, as well as in the free shell areas, were taken directly from this

! model. Stresses in the downcomer tie bars were also taken from this model.

Analysis was done for both full and zero A P impacts.

[

The beam model (Figure 4-4) was also used to deter-l mine stress from pool swell impact and drag. This was done with a time history dynamic analysis using leads developed by integrating the impact pressures over small areas and reducing them to nodal forces. Approximately 95 nodes along the length of the beam model were dynamically loaded in this analysis, including loads on the VP/VH intersection and vent pipe. The results of this analysis were used to define boundary loads on VP/VH inter-section, mitre joint and other elements as listed in Section 4.2. Stress

)

analysis for these elements was performed using the methods indicated in Section 4.2.

4.3.1.2 Pool Swell Thrust (4.2)

Pool swell thrust forces are definea as dynamic forces at each bend or mitre in the vent system, and are a consequence of the

)

flowing internal fluids. Analysis for these loads was done using the beam model and applying the loads statically. This is consistent with the slow nature of the applied pressure forces.

}

The calculation was performed with the maximum value of all thrust forces applied simultaneously; this is a conservative condition.

4.3.1.3 Pool Swell Drag Loads (4.3.7 & 4.3.8)

The vent header support ec'umns are loaded by for-ces from LOCA-jet and LOCA bubble drag. By inspection, it was concluded that f LOCA-jet loads would not combine with water impact on the vent system due to -

differences in timing and, therefore, would not contribute to the maximum stress calculations - LOCA jet forces were not considered further.

LOCA bubble forces were calculated and the maximum normal components (radial and longitudinal) were applied simultaneously to l conservatively bound the bending moments on the support column. These peak l values were applied statically at the midpoint of the column. Stress calcu-lations were done by hand.

I 4.3.2 Chugging Loads l

l 4.3.2.1 Downcomer Lateral Loads (4.5.3)

Ref erence 1 identifies downcomer lateral loads as static equivalents with random orientation in the horizontal plane. The major consequence of this loading is to produce high local stress in the VH/

TME T 31 1 MO

) downcomer intersection. The detailed shell model (Figure 4-1) was used to identify stresses in the downcomer intersection due to static loads applied at the base of the downcomer. Frequencies of the first downcomer response mode were taken from a dynamic analysis on the same model (Figure 4-1) with the

) downcomers full of water to the operating level. This frequency was recessary to determine the proper dynamic scale factor to apply to the static load.

The stress results from the statically applied load

were used as a basis for a fatigue evaluation of the intersection in accord-ance with Reference 9.

4.3.2.2 Chugging - Synchronized Lateral Icads

)

The random nature of the downtomer lateral chugging load provides for all combinations of alternate force orientations on adja-cent pairs of downcomers. Various load combinntions were examined to deter-

) mine stress levels in the vent header and mitre joint as a result of these loads. The cases considered are shown in Figure 4-6.

These cases were considered by applying static loads to the beam model (Figure 4-4) and determining final stresses as described in Section 4.2.

l l 4.3.2.3 Internal Pressure (4.5.4)

Three vent system internal pressures exist during chugging. They are:

a Gross vent system pressure - a .7 Hz oscillat-ing pressure with a maximum value of 5.0 psi.

This pressure acts on the entire vent system.

o Acoustic vent system pressure - a sinusoidal pressure varying f rom 6.9 to 9.5 Hz at a maxi-mum value of 3.5 psi. This pressure affects the entire vent system.

4.3.3.4 Drao Forces on Support Columns

Inspection of approximate total loads on support columns due to CO, CH, and pool swell showed that condensation oscillation would not contribute to the maximum column load, due to differences in timing.

No detailed analysis was performed.

4.3.5 SRV Loads 4.3.5.1 SRV Drag Loads

)

An SRV discharge produces drag loads which act on the vent neader support columns, downcomers, and downcomer tie bars. Analy' sis for drag loads on these structures was based on data collected during in-plant SRV tests.

)

Data collected during these tests was scaled to correct it for the appropriate SRV conditions and then applied to the struc-

)

tural model to determine the resulting stress. A more detailed discussion of this procedure is provided in Appendix 1.

)

)

Technical Report W F W NE TR-5310-1 ENGNEERING SERVICES 4.3.6 Other Loads

)

Deadweight and seismic stresses in the vent system were cal-culated using the beam model cf Figure 4-4.

)

Seismic stresses were calculated by statically applying the acceleration values in Table 3.

)

Thermal stresses were determined for the steady state appli-cation of maximum vent system temperature, using hand analysis.

4.4 Results and Evaluation

)

Results are reported for each structural element of the vent system for the controlling load combination. Controlling load combinations are the ones that produce the smallest margins against the allowable stress - not

)

necessarily the highest stress. All load combinations listed in Table 1 have been considered.

As stated previously, most results include some level of bounding analysis and, therefore, understate the margins which actually exist.

4.4.1 Vent Header - Downcomer Intersection The controlling load on the vent header-downcomer inter-section, bcr.h for maximum stress and fatigue, is the downcomer lateral load due to chugging. The worst load combination in which this load appears is Cdse 27 of Table 1. This cases consists of:

Chugging (DBA) + Seismic (SSE) + Weight + Presssure + Thrust

5.0 RING GIRDER ANALYSIS The ring girder for Pilgrim is shown in Figure 5-1. It is mounted in a

)

vertical plane that passes through the support saddles and the support col-umns. Because all major internal structures are supported by the ring gir- j ders, the ring girders that must react to the largest number of individual j loads.

5.1 Structural Elements Considered Elements considered in this section are:

)

(a) The ring girder web and flange (b) The attachment weld to the shell Local stresses at attachments have also been considered and added, i.e., vent header support columns, catwalk, etc.

5.2 Computer Models

)

Two computer models were used as a part of the ring girder analyses; both are detailed models which also include the shell and external supports.

)

The first model is shown in Figure 5-2. This is a detailed model, which represents one-sixteenth of the torus structure; one half bay on each side of the mitre joint. It accurately simulates the ring girder offset (four-inches from the mitre joint) as well as structural differences between the vent and non-vent bays. Because the ring girder is not at the boundary of this model, out-of-plane motion of the ring girder can be accurately deter-mined. This model was used to evaluate all direct loads on the ring girder; these include loads from attached structures such as the tee-quencher sup-ports, catwalk and vent header system, as well as all drag loads. The one-t - - -

)

Technical Report TE WE TR-5310-1 ENGINEERING SERVICES

}

sixteenth model used for the Pilgrim ring girder analysis was one that had been constructed for one of the other Mark 1 plants analyzed by TES. The dimensions of this other plant are very similar to Pilgrim; the diameter of the torus, shell thickness and distance between the ring girder and mitre joint are all similar. The ring girder fla.nge in this model is slightly smaller than Pilgrim and, therefore, produces conservative results since lateral loads control ring girder stresses. The comparison is:

)

Ring Girder Flange Dimensions (inches)

Pilgrim: 1.5 x 7 Model Used: 1.5 x 6

)

The second model used to determine ring girder loads is the. Pilgrim 1/32 finite element model shown in Figure 3-1. This model was used previously to evaluate shell stresses of all symmetric loads that act on the shell.

)

These same computer analyses produce information on ring girder stress for symmetric loads. Loads evaluated with this model include weight, internal pressure and all shell dynamic loads. The boundary conditions on this model restrict the ring girder to in-plane motion, 5.3 Loads Analysis 5.3.1 Loads Applied to Shell As stated, the ring girder stresses for all symmetric loads applied to the shell were taken from the appropriate analyses described in Section 3.0; these include:

(a) Pool Swell Shell Load (Paragraph 3.2.1)

(b) Condensation Oscillation (3.2.2)

(c) Chugging (3.2.3)

)

)

Technical Report SPTF1 FrT(NE TR-5310-1 ENGNEERNG SERVICES

)

(d) SRV Discharge *

(e) Seismic (f) Deadweight, Thermal and Pressure

  • SRV discharge is conservatively assumed to be a symmetrically applied load for shell analysis.

5.3.2 Drag Loads The ring girder is subject to drag loads from each of the dynamic shell loads as well as Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) effects from C0 and CH. All these loads were evaluated by using the 1/16 model and

)

applying static loads on the wetted nodes of the ring girder. The use of static analysis was based on the assumption that the stiffening effect of the saddle, columns and column gussets would make the ring girder very stiff and would prevent frequency interaction with the dynamic loads. Because of this,

)

no dynamic amplification was applied to the static analysis results (DLF =

1.0). Drag loads considered were:

(a) Pool Swell Bubble

)

(b) Pool Swell Jet (bounded by a)

(c) SRV Jet (d) SRV But ble (e) C0 including FSI (bounded by g)

(f) Pre-chug including FSI (bounded by g)

(g) Post Chug including FSI The effects of SRV jet (c) and SRV drag (d) were evaluated 1

based on data collected from in-plant tests. A discussion of the in-plant tests and the use of drag data from these tests is given in Appendix 1.

Calculation of ring girder drag loads due to condendation oscillation and post chug FSI was not in accordance with NUREG 0661 (Reference 2). An alternate method of calculating drag volume was used in this load

)

)

Technical Report TR-5310-1 W F W NE ENGNEERING SERVICES calculation. It produced drag volumes for the ring girder of about half of

)

those that the NUREG 0661 procedure would have produced. A discussion of this is included in Appendix 3. The FSI drag calculation was based on local pool accelerations at the ring girder due to the response of the entire shell. The post chug and FSI analysis considered frequencies to 31 Hz, which were com-

)

bined by adding the values of the five maximum components to the SRSS sum of the others.

5.3.3 Loads Due to Attached Structure

)

Loads applied to the ring girder by structures attached to it were evaluated by equivalent static analysis, using the 1/16 model (Figure 5-2). The important loads are applied in the area of the support saddle and

)

columns which make the ring girder very stiff and minimizes dynamic inter-action. Because of this, dynamic amplification of the static ring girder stresses was not done (DLF = 1.0). The load input to the ring girder was a result of a dynamic analysis of the attached system (or had an appropriate DLF

)

applied) and, therefore, included the effects of dynamic amplification on load.

The following loads are applied to the ring girder and were considered:

e Tee-quencher support beam thrust due to SRV dis-charge.

e Tee-quencher and support drag loads.

e Vent header support column reaction loads during pool swell.

e Vent header support column drag loads.

)

e Catwalk support column reactions and drag.

)

)

As stated in Section 5.1, stresses resulting from attached structure have been included in the following results.

)

7.1 Catwalk l

The catwalk structure is attached to the ring girders and provides

{

) 360 access to the inside of the torus. It consists of a horizontal frame structure which supports sections of open grating. At each ring girder, one side of the frame is attached directly to the ring girder by a short hori-zontal member; the far side of the catwalk is supported by vertical columns

) which connect to the ring girder below the water line. Additional pipe column supports were added and the hand rail is wire rope as shown on Figures 2-14 and 2-15.

) 7.1.1 Computer Model The computer models of the catwalk are shown in Figures 7-1 and 7-2 for the original and modified catwalk. It represents the structure

) for one full bay, beginning at mid-bay. They include all of the load carrying structural members, but do not include the grating or handrails. Loads from these elements are calculated and applied to the frame as forces at the points of attachment.

)

All catwalk analysis was performed on these linear models.

All analysis used static application of loads, increased to account for dyna-mic amplification, where appropriate.

)

7.1.2 Loads Analysis l 1

Loads analysis for the catwalk was performed for the direct effects of the following loads. Indirect effects due to motion of the ring

)

girder at the attachments points were considered, but judged to be negli-gible.

) 7.1.2.1 Pool Swell Drag (4.3.4)

Pool swell drag loads are produced as the rising pool envelops the main frame, gr ating and handrails. Loads on the frame were

)

Technical Report TE WE TR-5310-1 NBRNG SBT\/ ICES calculated based on velocities taken from plant unique QSTF movies and the

)

l methods in Reference 1. These were multiplied by two to account for the l dynamic effect. Loads on the grating were taken from Section 4.3.4 of Refer-ence 1; these loads already include a dynamic factor, since they are based on test data.

7.1.2.2 Pool Swell Fallback (4.3.6)

Pool fallback loads were calculated and applied in accordance with Reference 1, except in unusual cases where f allback loads exceeded upward loads. In these cases, the traximum values of upward load were l used for fallback also. Fallback affects the main frame and grating as well as the handrails.

)

l l 7.1.2.3 Froth Load (4.3.5)

Froth loads have their major effect on the catwalk han& ails; and, when applied horizontally, can produce high bending stresses in the vertical handreil members. Froth loads were calculated in accordance

with Reference 1, except that the froth 1 influe:.ce region was redefined using plant-unique QSTF movies. These movies show clearly that froth 1 loads do not

) reach the catwalk railing; the analysis was therefore performed with froth 2 loads only.

Except for the handrails, the entire catwalk is i submerged before froth loads reach this part of the torus; because of this, froth was only considered on the handrails.

l 7.1.2.4 Drag Loads (Support Columns)

The submerged portion of the cotwalk support col-umns are subject to loading from drag forces from the following sources:

) (a) Pool Swell (b) SRV Discharge

)

l l

I Technical Report W P W NE TR-5310-1 N9tlNG NES 1

(c) Condensation Oscillation I

)

(d) Chugging Loads from these sources were calculated and applied to the support columns as static loads. The natural frequency of the

)

support was calculated using hand calculations and compared to the fre-quency(s) of each source. The statically determined stress was then multi-plied by a dynamic amplification factor, developed by considerir.g the worst case frequency ratio and the fact that this is a harmonic loading.

7.1.2.5 Weight and Seismic Loads Stresses due to weight loads were analyzed using f static analysis and the computer model shown in Figure 7-2. Seismic loads are small and were considered using hand analysis and scaling static stresses.

7.1.3 Results and Evaluation Table 1 allows stresses in the catwalk structure (excluding attachments) to exceed yield; and, in certain cases, to exceed ultimate. Our l

analysis was based on a linear model and all stresses were maintained below

)

the stress at which a plastic hinge would form. Controlling stress and load i

combination for various catwalk elements are listed here.

7.1.3.1 Main Frame The controlling stress in the catwalk frame occurs in the inboard supporting channel, Point A in Figure 7-2. It is a result of the combined condition that includes:

Technical Report WTA FrVNE TR-5310-1 ENGNEBRNG SBR \/ ICES 7.2 Internal Spray Header

)

The internal spray header is attached to the ring girders and to a penetration on the shell. It is located at the top of the torus, above the vent header (Figure 2-3).

)

7.2.1 Computer Model The computer model used to analyze the spray header is shown

)

in Figure 7-3. It was constructed to allow determination of stresses in a typical multi-span area as well as at branch connections. This is part of a piping system and piping elements were used in the model. All results were obtained through the use of static analysis, with factors applied to account

)

for dynamic response.

7.2.2 Loads Analysis

) The spray header is high enough in the torus so it does not experience direct water impact-froth in the only poci swell related load that is applied.

) The motion of the ring girder that results from pool swell l

loads on the shell was considered but judged to be a negligible input to the spray header. Shel! displacement at the nozzle connections was input to the computer analysis.

l 7.2.2.1 Froth Load (4.3.5)

Froth loads on the spray header were calculated as j outlined in Reference 1. The worst si. cess condition existed for a vertically applied load. The loads were applieu statically to the system (DLF = 1.3).

7.2.2.2 Weight, Seismic & Ring Girder Displacement

)

The effects of weight, seismic and shell displace-ment were all considered by using the model shown in Figure 7-3 and applying loads and displacments statically.

Technical Report TF WE TR-5310-1 -101- ENGNEERING SERVICES 7.3 Vent Pipe Bellows

)

The vent pipe bellows forms the pressure seal between the vent pipe and torus and allows for relative motion between these parts. It is illus-trated in Figure 7-4.

)

7.3.1 Analysis Method The bellows are rated by the manuf acturer for differential

) motion both axially and radially. These ratings are intended to define static differences which occur over a long enough time so that dynamic response of the bellows itself can be ignored.

) In the present analysis, both ends of the bellows are exper-iencing dynamic motion; one end is controlled by the vent pipe, the other by the torus shell. We expect that the dynamic characteristics of the convoluted bellows should increase stresses over their static equivalents. We also

) expect that the convolutions will produce complex modes and stress patterns that will not couple efficiently with specific input frequencies; i.e., high dynamic reponse is not expected. Further, the "pogo" and " rolling" modes of the convolutions are non-linear, highly cross-coupled modes that would not be

) predicted by ordinary structural codes.

Our approach to the bellows evaluation is to compare the maximum calculated difference in dynamic response (displacement) across the

) bellows to the manuf acturers' allowable. We accept the bellows as adequate for all cases where a large margin exists between predicted input motion and the static capacity, as stated by the manufacturer.

) 7.3.2 Loads Analysis Calculation of vent pipe motion and torus shell motion was done as a part of the analysis work discussed in Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of this

) report. The analysis of the torus shell in Section 3.0 was based on a

)

I

)

Technical Report SPTA WNE l TR-5310-1 -102- ENGNEERNG SERVICES i

) computer model of the non-vent bay and therefore did not account for the l presence of the vent pipe hole, or the heavy shell reenforcement in that area.

) 7.3.3 Results and Evaluation The maximum differential motion across the bellows occurs as a result of case 25 in Table 1; this case includes:

)

Pool Swell Pressure on Shell + Water Impact on the Vent System + Vent System Thrust + Pressure + Weight + SRV +

Seismic

)

For this case, the.following deflections occurred:

)

Lateral Motion (in.) .062 .625 All calculated values are less than 11% of the manu-f acturer's allowables. We consider that this large difference demonstrates

)

the acceptability of the bellows, especially if we consider that much of the load is either static or a single-pulse transient (maximum amplification of 2).

)

8.0 SUPPRESSION P0OL TEMPERATURE EVALUATION The Mark 1 modification which added tee-quenchers at the discharge end of

) the SRV lines required that we consider the high temperature performance characteristics of these devices. Several meetings took place where the high temperature effectiveness and condensation stability of the devices was dis-cussed. An important consideration in high temperature performance is the

) nixing characteristics of the device and the attendent local-to-bulk tempera-ture difference (6t).

In response to these concerns and to assure reliable operation of these

) devices, the NRC has set limits on maximum pool temperatures for tee-quencher operation, as well as guidelines for a temperature monitoring system for the suppression pool. These requirements are stated in NUREG 0661 (Reference 2) and NUREG 0783.

)

8.1 Maximum Suppression Pool Temperature NUREG 0783 presents maximum pool temperature limits for tee-

) quencher operation at different flow rates, and for several different plant conditions. Evaluation of the Pilgrim Plant for these conditions was done by General Electric Company under contract to Boston Edison. The results of that work are reported here.

)

The local pool temperature limits for the Pilgrim Plant and in accordance with NUREG 0783 are given in Figure 8-1. These correspond to a minimum quencher submergence of 7.0 feet.

)

General Electric evaluated the Pilgrim Plant for the following seven conditions that bound those specified in NUREG 0783. This analysis was performed using al initial pool temperature of 90 F.

The result of the G.E. analysis showed that the pool temperature remained below the limiting values shown in Figure 8-1 for all seven cases and is therefore acceptable. The results of the analysis for the seven cases are listed in Table 8-1.

8.2 Pool Temperature Monitoring System The NRC criteria also presents guidelines for a monitoring system to constantly monitor pool temperature. A monitoring system will be installed at Pilgrim which uses a network of RTDs set in thermowells in the torus wall, hard wired to a display console in the control room. The system is described l more fully in Section 2.2.1 of this report and is illustrated in Figures 2-9, l 2-17 and 2-20.

Use of SRV In-Plant Test Data for Analysis

. . s Y

Test Data "'

) -

The in-plant SRV tests used to support structural analysis were run it-Pilgrim in August, 1980. The data was collected in a series of four tests, each consisting of one actuation with a cold line and a second abcut cne

) minute later (hot line). The test sets were about three hours apart'to allow for SRV line cool down.

The torus shell was instrumented with a combination of strain and pres ~

) sure transducers as shown in Figure Al-1. Strain gages were mounted in pairs on both sides of the shell to allow separation of bending and membrane stresses. Additional gages were located on the columns (Figure Al-2), the SRV quencher (Figure Al-3) and an attached piping system (Figure Al-4).

}

Two independent data collection systems were used to provide a check on system accuracy. The major system was a multiplexed FM tape system on which all data was collected. The second system was a hard wired oscillograph to

) produce direct, quick-look readout on several channels.

In all, 84 transducers were used during the testing. Some difficulty was experienced with the shell pressure gages and some gages did not work prop-

,)

erly; however, the remaining gages provided sufficient data to fulfill test cbjectives.

Use of Data - Applications

)

The SRV test data was used to calibrate computer analysis of the shell and support systems and also to establish actual numbers for SRV drag loads on submerged structures.

1. Determine maximum average '; hell pressure, averuge frequency and a

waveform for the four cold tests.

2. Calculate these same quantities for the test conditions using the

3. CalcJlate calibration f actors relating predicted-to-actual pres-

4. Calculate predicted pressures and frequencies using the generic l.Gmputer program, for other SRV conditions.

)

5. Apply the calibration f actors calculated in step (3) to all other predictipns for pressure and frequency. The duration of the pres-sure tro.^.sient, as measured in the test, is affected proportionally

) by the frequency correction and used as the basis for all computer model lo,tding.

)

1. The computer model was loaded with the measured shell pressures.
2. The model was run and stresses at all strain gage locations were calculated.
3. Comparisons were made between computer predicted shell stress and I measured shell stress at the same points.

Correlations for shell stress were excellent - generally within 5%.

Correlations to column loads were not so good - generally off by about 50%.

This difference in computer results for test conditions was handled by devel-

) oping a second calibration f actor for supports only, and combining it with the previous pressure calibration factor. The results were two different cali-bration f actors to be applied to final analysis - one for the shell and one for the columns. The factors developed and used are:

Shell pressure = .62 x predicted l Support load = .4 x predicted

Multiple Valve Contributions 1

For c3ses where more than one valve actuates, the contributions from j other valves were added directly (same signs). The maximum value used was 1.65 x the pressure from a single valve (Reference 2).

SRV Test Data for Drag Loads

)

In the period after the Pilgrim SRV test and May, 1982, TES ran in-plant l SRV tests in four plants, and collected SRV drag information on submerged structures in accordance with the following table:

1 r

) .

)

Catwalk Vent Ring Supports Column Downcomer Girder j Millstone X X X Nine Mile Point X X Vermont Yankee X X Fitzpatrick X X X X

)

Data collected in these tests was evaluated, analyzed and used to develop loads for SRV drag on submerged structures for these four plants, as well as for Pilgrim. (The Pilgrim in-plant SRV test pre-dated this period, at a time

) when the very conservative nature of calculated SRV drag loads had not been established).

During these tests, strains were measured on the structures indicated

) (except for the ring girder, which was a pressure measurement). The strain gages were positioned to show bending stress due to the combined effect of SRV jet and bubble drag. Figures Al-5 and Al-6 show typical test instrumentation on these structures.

)

Evaluation of the test data for the four plants showed these important results:

) 1. Structural response occurred at the natural frequency of the struc-ture only.

2. Responses were much less than would be predicted by program analy-

) sis methods - generally less than one-tenth of predicted loads.

An important consideration in the application of this data was the possi-bility that resonant structural response might occur at some other SRV condi-

) tion. This was considered and dismissed based on two separate arguments; they are:

)

)

Technical Report "RTF1 FrWNE TR-5310-1 Al-5 ENGINEERING SERVICES

1. If a major frequency component existed in the drag force, it would be detectable on each of the structural responses for a given test.

This did not occur.

> 2. The response frequencies of the structures tested (structural natu-ral frequencies) ranged from 8.1 to 38 Hz.* If any single strong frequency existed in the drag load, one of the structural responses should have demonstrated some degree of resonant response - none I did.

We conclude from this that the structures involved are responding to a f airly uniform random field and that the test data represents useable data for all

> SRV conditions.

The next step in the process was to calculate an equivalent static load for each structure. This is the static load that produces the same bending I

stresses measured in the test, when applied uniformly to the submerged area.

These static pressure values were plotted against distance from the quencher and Figure Al-7 was developed. This curve represents the equivalent static drag pressures, including quencher jet loads. It is scaled upward from test I conditions to more severe SRV cases by the ratio of the calculated shell pressures for the two cases, for application to structures under different loading conditions.

Discuss _ ion of 32 Hz Frequency Cut-off for Condensation Oscillation and Post Chug Analysis l

l TES made the decision to limit C0 and Post Chug response analysis to b

frequencies below 32 Hz early in the program. The decision was the result of several considerations that led to the conclusion that the 32 Hz cut-off would produce realistic results.

The basis for use of a 32 Hz cut-off involved strong fundamental argu-ments, both in the loads used for the analysis, and in the stress analysis itself. The primary arguments are different for CO, and for Post Chug, and are given here:

For condensation analysis.

1. Load Definition - l PSD study of the C0 pressure data showed that frequencies above M Hz accounted f only 10% of total power (Ref-erence 1, page 4.4.1-10) . This means that a system with flat frequency response to 50 Hz would suffer a 10% unconservative stress error if a 25 Hz cut-off was used. Since we are using a 32 Hz D

cut-off and our system is highly responsive at low frequencies (not flat), we should expect a much smaller error.

2. Structural Response _A_nalysis - The relative importance of loads below and above 32 Hz car be judged based on examination of the modal frequencies and generalized coordinates of the structure in both frequency ranges. If we consider the characteristics of a typical torus model in these ranges, we find:

)

32-50 Hz 34 5 1 4,594 1

  • Product of generalized weight and the square of the participation factor - used as an indicator of modal response strength.

These figures show that for condensation oscillation, frequencies below

') 32 Hz clearly dominate the response and frequencies above 32 Hz are relatively insignificant. They provide a strong indication that the 10% worst-case unconservatism discussed above will be greatly reduced by the selective nat-ure of the structural response. We should logically expect the structural

) response characteristics, and the fact that we are using a 32 Hz cut-off, instead of 25, to reduce the 10% maximum error to less than 5%. An error of this magnitude is consistent with other assumptions which must be made in the analysis and is considered acceptable.

)

A further statement regarding the validity of this approach may be found in References 11 and 14.

) For the post chug load, the second consideration of structural response is also valid, but the load definition is not as heavily skewed toward the low f requency end as is C0 The decision for handling post chug was heavily influenced by the fact that it produced very low stress and, in fact, that

) shell membrane stresses would be bounded by pre-chug. This is discussed further in Section 3.2.3.2 of this report.

C0/CH Drag Loads for Ring Girder Analysis

)

TES did not follow the calculational methods of NUREG 0661 (Reference 2) for calculation of C0/CH drag loads on the ring girder. This appendix describes the method that was used, the differences with the NUREG method and

) the basis for the change.

The NUREG analysis method specifies that acceleration drag forces (and

)

effective hydrodynamic mass) for flat plates be based on an equivalent cylin-der with radius equal to \/ 2 times the radius of the circumscribed circle. It also specifies that the drag forces be increased by an additional factor of 2

) for structures attached to the torus shell, to account for wall interference.

Application of the NUREG criteria produces a factor of 4 multiplier for

)

drag force for flat plate structures in the fluid; and a factor of 8 multi-plier for flat plate structures in tne fluid and attached to the shell. These values are referenced to a drag force equal to 1.0 for flat plate calculations

)

based on potential flow theory and neglecting interference effects.

These increases in loads are supported by data available in Reference A3-1 and A3-2. Keolegan and Carpenter show in Reference A3-1 that the drag forces on a plate in an oscillating flow may be a f actor of 4 higher than the theoretical force based on potential flow. Sarpkaya shows in Reference A3-2 that forces on a cylinder near a boundary, may be twice as high as forces away from the boundary.

wTm mVNE h [1 1 A3-2 NBilNG SBR \/ ICES Both References 1 and 2 present results as a function of the VT/D ratio I where:

V = maximum velocity

)

T = period of flow oscillation D = diameter

)

Keolegan and Carpenter show the effective hydrodynamic mass coefficient foraplatevariesfromamaximumof4atf=125to1atVT/0=0.(pure potential flow). Sarpkaya shows an increase in the hydrodynamic mass coef-ficient for a cylinder near a boundary that varies from a maximum f actor of 2 at h = 15 to a minimum of 1.65 at VT/D = 0.

)

NUREG 0661 appears to use the bounding values from both of these refer-ences to formulate its' analysis method. It implies by this that large values

)

of will exist in the torus. In fact, this is not true for CO and CH drag loads on the ring girder. For this structure, under this load, VT D

ratios are near zero and the use of maximum multipliers should not be neces-

) sary. It is on this basis that we have used an alternate method to calculate CO and CH drag loads on the ring girder.

) The TES method to calculate these drag loads on the ring girder used the sam >_ references as above (A3-1 and A3-2), but accounted for calculated values of f rather than the values corresponding to the maximum increases. Consid-

) eration of the actual DVI ratio for wall interference led to an interference factor of 1.65 (instead of 2).

)
