LGS DAR O the structural loading conditions in the containment because they are the basis for other containment hydrodynamic phenomena. The response must be determined for a range of parameters such as break size, reactor pressure, and containment initial conditions.

4.2.4.1 Desian Basis Accident (DBA) Transients The DBA LOCA for LGS is conservatively estimated to be a 3.538 fta break of the recirculation line. This transient results in the maximum drywell pressure and therefore governs the LOCA hydrodynamic loads. The LGS-unique assumptions and input for the analysis are given in FSAR Section 6.2.1. Drywell and wetwell pressure and temperature reponses are shown in Figures 4.2-11 and 4.2-12. This description of the transient does not include the effect of reactor subcooling.

t 4.2.4.2 Intermediate Break Accident (IBA) Transients The worst-case intermediate break for LGS is a 0.1 fta break of a liquid line. The drywell and wetwell pressure and temperature O responses are shown in Figures 4.2-13.and 4.2-14.

description of the transient does not include the effect of reactor subcooling This 4.2.4.3 Small Break Accident (SBA) Transients Plant-unique SBA data for LGS is not available. The wetwell and drywell pressure and temperature transients for a typical Mark II containment are used to estimate the LGS containment response'to these accidents. These curves are-shown in Figure 4.2-15 (extracted from Reference 4.2-6).

4.2.5 LOCA LOADING HISTORIES FOR LGS CONTAINMENT COMPONENTS The various components directly affected by LOCA loads are shown schematically in Figure 4.2-16. These components may in turn load other components as they respond to the LOCA loads. For example, lateral loads on the downcomer vents produce minor reaction loads in the drywell floor from which the downcomers are supported. The reaction load in the drywell floor is an indirect load resulti.ng from the LOCA and is defined by the appropriate structural model of the downcomer/drywell floor system. Only the O direct loading situations are described in detail here.

Table 4.2-11 is a LOCA load chart for LGS. This chart shows 4.2-15 Rev. 6, 11/83

LGS DAR O APPENDIX J J.1 INTRODUCTION

In April 1981, the ACRS e] pressed concern regarding the psiential 1 pool bypass from a stuck-open wetwell-to-drywell vacuum breaker.

! This concern stems from the fact that following the onset of a LOCA about 20 seconds into the transient, the chugging phenomenon takes place. This rapid steam condensation will cause repeated and strong dynamic under and overpressure conditions in the downcomer. As a result of this pressure variation, the vacuum j breaker attached to the downcomer may open.

Because chugging is a repetitive phenomenon, the vacuum breaker may be called on to function in a cyclic manner during these intermittent steam condensation events. These potential opening j and closing impact loads could exceed the original design basis of the vacuum breakers. Failure of a vacuum breaker to close

] during this time could result in steam bypass of the suppression pool and subsequent pressurization of the wetwell air space, thms jeopardizing the integrity of the containment.

4 0 .

In July 1981, the NRC staff was informed that the' Mark II owners who have vacuum breakers attached to the downcomer were conducting a joint qualification test program to demonstrate the operability of the vacuum breaker under this intermittent steam condensation loading. The Mark II owners also identified the potential adverse effect of poolswell on the performance of

, vacuum breakers'. Because the wetwell air space will pressurize

during the poolswell event, the resulting differential pressure '

I will cause the vacuum breaker to cycle open and then cycle closed when the pool falls back to the normal water level. The l

potential opening and closing impact load could exceed the original design basis of the vacuum breakers.

J.2 DESIGN ASSESSMENT 5

J.2.I VACUUM BREAKER CYCLING DURING POOLSWELL To qualify the Limerick yacuum breakers to withstand the dynamic effects of poolswell, design modifications to the vacuum breakers have been implemented based on results from the Anderson Greenwood Company (AGCo) vacuum breaker test program. The O modifications and test program results have been transmitted to the NRC (References J.2-1 and J.2-2).

J-1 Rev. 6, 11/83

LGS DAR J 2.2 VACUUM BREAKER CYCLING DURING CHUGGING O

To qualify the Limerick vacuum breakers to withstand the dynamic effects of chugging, the four downcomers on which the wetwell-to-dryvell vacuum breakers are mounted have been capped. Capping the downcomers will eliminate the dynamic under and overpressures caused by the sudden steam condensation at the downcomer exit and eliminate the vacuum breaker cyclic actuation due to chugging phenomena. The locations of these capped downcomers are shown in Figure J.2-1.

J.2.2.1 Downcomer Capping Design Assessment J.2.2.1.1 Downcomer Modifications Figure J.2-2 shows a configuration of a nodified downcomer with vacuum breaker (typical of four). The modifications include installation of a cap, a 3-inch drain line, and a 1-inch weir at the dryvell entrance of the downcomer.

The capping design incorporates a 3-inch Schedule 160 drain line.

Water motion in the 3-inch drain line has been modeled.. As a result of this work, the drain has been extended 9 ft 7-3/4 inches above the downcomer exit plane. This extended length will prevent water from fountaining into the downcomer during the rapid drywell depressurization caused by the gross chugging at the downcomer exits. In addition, to prevent water from exiting the drain line during the chugging /CO phase of a LOCA, the drain line is extended 4 feet below the downcomer exit plane. Therefore, potential chugging /CO dynamic loading phenomena at the drain exit are precluded.

The addition of a 1-inch weir at the drywell entrance of each capped downcomer is designed to limit the maximum ECCS flow into these downcomers during the recirculation mode after a LOCA. The 3-inch drain line is capable of passing this limited flow of ECCS water while preventing the downcomers from being filled to the vacuum breaker elevation.

J.2.2.1.2 Containment Evaluation Capping 4 out of 87 downcomers requires an evaluation to determine its effect on the containment design basis LOCA loading conditions and safety margins. To resolve this concern, l

Rev. 6, 11/83 J-2

I .

LGS DAR O Bechtel's computer program COPDA was used to evaluate the drywell conditions based on 83 and 87 downcomers, respectively. The results indicate that there is no significant change in either drywell pressure and temperature or steam blowdown rate through the downcomers for the capped and uncapped situations.

Based on this analysis, capping 4 out of 87 downcomers will have no adverse effects on the Limerick containment safety margins resulting from design basis LOCA loads, as defined in DAR Section 4.2, including poolswell loads, containment functional pressure, submerged structure loads, boundary loads, and asymmetric effects.
