April 7, 1983 I
fctR%Y&hM At the relief pressure of 375 psig, the internal energy change from liquid to steam is 698.6 Btu /lb.
Dividing 105,000 Btu /hr by this value yields a maximum possible steam flow. of '150. lb/hr.
The valve'has a full-open flow of 275 lb/hr which is more than adequate to accommodate the cask pressure reliev1ng requirements.
b.
Water Transient calculations'show that the internal coolant maximum temperature increase rate is 4*F/ minute.
From the steam tables, the water volume increase as a function of temperature change is-3 0.0284 ft 7.F.
The resulting volume expansion rate of the coolant is, therefore, 0.85 gal / min.
This also becomes the maximum water flow rate through the relief valve. The valve capacity is 3 gpm, thus, there is more than adequate water venting capability.
6.5.2 Valve Functioning Under Accident Conditions 6.5.2.1 30-Foot Drop and Puncture The cavity relief valve is protected from mechanical damage by the structural members surrounding the valve box (see Section V).
The valve manufacturer has stated that the only effect of the 30-foot drop "G" loadings on the unit may be a slight and momentary lif ting of the valve disk as long as the valve is protected from direct impact.
The valve body and components are quite rugged. Those components which are the most highly stressed are eithsr Stellite faced (valve seat and disk) or fabricated from Inconel X-750 (yield strength = 84 ksi
~
at 1000*F) which has excellent high temperature strength.
6.5.2.2 30-Minute Fire and Post-Fire Period An exact analytical determination of the valve temperature during the fire was not made. Due to its location within a valve box, the unit is 6-128-
~.
Octabsr 1979-not subjected directly to the fire.
A good estimate of the val've maxi-(()
mum temperature can-be made by examining the cask body surface tempera-s,.
ture at the valve box location (Figure VI-5, node 2020). The maximum expected valve temperature is 420*F. This occurs under post-fire steady-state conditions.
As the cask body is protected from the fire radiative heat input by the external containment, so is the valve protected by the valve box lid and fins.
Furthermore, the valve box components are thermally joined to the cask body, hence heat does not have to flow through the valve into the cask. Thus the post-fire equilibrium condition, not the fire itself produces the highest valve temperature.
Data on Inconel-X 750 bellows and spring matarial show it to have a f
maximum service temperature of 1300*F.
There is less than 2% relaxe-tion in the spring after 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> at 1100*F.
The 1-hour relaxation is 0.6% at 1100*F. A bellows or spring deteriorates as a function of tem-
)
perature and time. Thus, using the maximum temperature of 420*F, we can see that this is less than half of the spring service temperature and substantially less than the 0.6% 1-hour relaxation temperature.
Tests on bellows such as this have been conducted by Target Rock at continuous temperatures of 750*F.
Such tests showed no loss of bellows characteristics. Valve performance will be unaffected by the tem-peratures produced in or following the fire.
6.5.3 Valve Usage and Fabrication l
4 6.5.3.1 Valve Applications The functioning principle of the relief valve shown in Figure VI-25 is based on that of the pilot section of the Target Rock large safety valve which has been used extensively in power plant applications, including nuclear.
Approximately 114 units have been built and tested.
The basic design is also used in all Target Rock-supplied Navy nuclear safety and safety relief valves.

i Transportation Certification Branch Approval Record Model No. IF-300 Package Docket No. 71-9001
(
l By application dated March 15, 1982, General Electric Company requested an amendment to Certificate of. Compliance No. 9001 to permit the use of i
i a rupture disk device for dry shipments.
The rupture disk device would seal the cask cavity to the environment as an alternative to the current pressure relief valve.
The use of a
. rupture disk device should not effect the safety of the cask, but should j
simplify cask maintenance and operation.
The NRC staff is in agreement with the applicant's assessment and find no decrease in the safety of the packaging.
t In June 1981, the General Electric Company and Carolina Power and Light Company notified the NRC that it was voluntarily limiting the use of their four Model No. IF-300 shipping casks.
Future shipments would only be made with a dry cask cavity; no coolant (water) would be present in the cavity during shipment. This was because of a problem with a relief valve.
i i
The valve is designed to open in the event of an accident and, after relieving internal pressure within the cask, to reseat and reseal. The problem with the valve centered upon whether it would meet specified leakage limits after reseating.
4 f
When liquid coolant is excluded from the cavity (i.e., dry shipment),
l the internal pressures would not be sufficient to cause the relief valve to open and thus its reseating perfomance is not important to safety.
Liquid c.oolants will not be used in the cask until NRC agrees the problem i
has been satisfactorily resolved.
In a telecon between L. E. Fisher of the General Electric Company and R. H. Odegaarden of my staff, it was agreed that wet shipments wou?d be deleted from the certificate until such time as a revised valve design is approved by the NRC staff.
