! S December 19EA 203 - COMPONEIC COOLIIU SYSTEM A.

Function The function of the ec=ponent cooling system is to remove heat from the shutdown cooling heat exchanger, rain coolunt pump, non-regenerative heat exchanger and Supercritical Locp system when it it, 1; ope 2stion.

B.

Description The component cooling system is located entirely inside the containment vessel and consists of two centrifugal circulating pumps, two hect exchangers, a surge tank and the necessar/- piping, valving and instrumentation as shown on Figure 203-1.

The system is initially filled through the surge tank with demineralized water frce the secondary plant. Chemicals required for corrosion inhibition are manually added at the surge tank.

The water is continuously recirculated by the component croling pump through the equipment which requires cooling and then through the compcnent cooling heat exchanger where the absorbed heat is transferred to the river vater.

Only one pu=p and heat exchanger are required, hence the second pu:tp and heat exchanger serve as spares to insure availability of cooling vater in case of-equip-ment failure. Make-up water may be added to the system through a remotely operated surge tank fill valve.

C.

Componen+ s 1.

Corponent Cooling Heat Exchangers These heat exchangers are flanged head, horizontal, U-tube and s

shell type units. They are constructed of carbon steel with admiralty tubes.

A relief valve is provided on the shell side of the heat exchangers in accordance with code requirements. Each unit is designed for a maximum heat transfer rate of 2,055,000 Btu /hr with a tube side inlet temperature of 131*F, a tube side nutlet temperature of 100*F, and a shell side inlet tamperatu-of 80*F.

The shell sides and tube sides are designed for 150 psig end 200*F.

2.

Component Cooling Pumps Two single speed, end suction, vertically split casing, centrifugal pu=ps are provided for circulating the component cooling vater. Each pump is provided with a single mechanical seal to minimize leakage. One pa=p has a capacity of 155 gpm at a total dynamic head of 70 feet and the second has a capacity of 260 gp= at e total dynamic head of 230 feet. The design pressure is 150 psig at 200*F.

The pumps are of cast iron construction with bronze trim.

3 Co=ponent Coolira surge; ag The co=ponent cooling aarSe tank is a 3 cubic foot, cylindrical, corrosion protected cpen tank.

t i

2-1: a Revision _I e

e The first assembly will use incoloy 800 for clad material and sintered

'J02 pellets enriched to 21_',1 w/o U-235. The second ascembly will use 16 Cr 20 Ni alloy sta$nless steel cladding and vibration compacted UO2 powder of 21 + 1 w/n enrichment in U-235.

Following compaction, these rods will be swaged to raise the powder density to 93% of theoretical desnsity. _ All fuel rods in both assemblies will be autoclaved at 3000 psi und 700-750 F prior to final assembly to seat the clad firmly on-the fuel.

This operation will minimize rod diment,ional changes in reactor service and will assure a wrinkle-free clad.

The initial loop operating conditions will be set belov :aadmum design values.

During the course of the program these conditions will be t;uccessively ruised to approach the design coolant outlet-ccnditions of 10000 F at 2600 psig with clad surface temperatures approaching 1200 F 0

at PO kwt operation.

Throughout this series of tests, the loop coolant will be continuously monitored to determine gross corrosion and mass transport effects.

Each asse?.bly will be irradiated for approximately six Necks. At the end of the second irradiation period, one of the fuel assemblies will be selected for an additional six-week irradiation.

i II-4: 6 Revision I 4.2 Pressure Tube Assembly s

The pressure tube assen.bly, shown on Figure II-6, is of the bayonet re-entry type. Coolant at 3600 psig and 6oo'F to 975*F enters the pressure tube through the lover ju:::per and flows downward through the annulus formed by the pressure tube baffles and the fuel assembly baffles. At the lower end of the pressure tube, the flow direction $s reversed to pass upward tnrough the fuel assembly and inner fuel assembly hanger baffles.

The coolant leaves through the top ju: aper at temperatures up to lOOO'F.

I A Marman Coneseal pipe joint serves to support the pressure tube assembly and prevent leakage of reactor primary coolant. This joint can be serviced by remote maintenance tools. Inlet and exit jteper piping connec-tions are made with Grayloc fittings. A remote maintenance tool is feasible for these fittings and vill be used if necessary to limit maintenance personnel exposure. The pressure tube aest.mbly consists of four components; the connector body, pressure tube extension, the head adaptor flange assembly, and the presbure tute, all cf AISI Type 316 stainless steel.

The rough machined connector bocy is velded to the head adaptor male flange.

After final machining operations, this assembly is velded to the pressure tube to form the co=pleted pressure tube assembly.

i l

Connector Body I

l The connector body is designed for k000 psig and 1000'F vith atmospheric pressure outside. A 3-inch thickness of insulation 1s-provided. The inlet and outlet nozzles are machined from eolid stock as part of the connector body. They arr: spaced approximately 16 inches apart to reduce heat transfer and thermal stresses between the two areas. A refueling port is loceted in the upper end of the connector body and is sealed with

{

II-k: 7 Revision I a Conoseal gasket. A ring and six jack screws, made of W-5k5 steel, serve to hold the Conoceal male #1.ange in place. Each Jack screw is tightened to 95 pound feet torque to preload the Conoseal gasket with sufficient axial compression to resist any gasket covement durirq operation at k000 psi. Conoseal clanp and sleeve flange is of AISI Type 316 stainless steel.

Hydrostatie thrust due to k000 psi internal pressure and the refueling port spring is 26,500 pounds. Axial port stress in the threaded area from this thrust is 2700 psi. Ring thread shear stress is k500 psi and jack serev bearing stress and tnread shear stress are 18,400 psi and 3700 psi respec-tively. The jack screw beari g stress is equal to 1/2 of the stress required to produce 10% relaxation in 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> in W-Sk5 stainless steel at 1100*F. W-545 vas chosen for ring and jack screws because it matches the coefficient of thermal expansion of the refueling port male and female flanges, 74 addition, it possesses high strength at 1000*F; typical creep rupture strets at 100,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> at 1000*F is approximately 80,000 psi.

A is11-tone seal, just below the outlet nczzle, supports the fuel assembly nni prewrds the bypass of inlet coolant around the fuel assembly to the exit jumper. To secure a positive sealing against hydrostatic pressure, e

a refveling port spring is provided in _the top of the pressure tube assembly which 17 designed to provide a minimum sealing force of 60 lbs. The sprir4 force is based on the following assumptionn:

4 II h: 8 Revision I Head Adapter Flange Assembly The head adaptor flange assembly supports the pressure tube while connect-ing it to the Saxton reactor head adapter. The head adapter flange assembly screws into the Saxton reactor head adapter and is seal velded.

The assembly is velded to the connector tube. The male and female sections of the assembly are joined at the Conoseal joint and clamped together.

The assembly parts are constructed of Type 316 stainless steel.

Pressure Tube and Pressure Tube Extencion The portion of the pressure tube rasembly extending within the reactor vessel vill not be code stamped because it is completely contained within the reactor vessel which is the-ultisate container for reactor and loop ntlant. This portion, however, is designed to meet the intent of Section VIII of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code as outlined below.

Sections III-1, 2, and 3 of this report describe normal loop startup, operating, and shutdown conditions. Initially, the loop and reactor are

- brought to 2000 psi and 530*F together. Differential pressure across the pressure tubes are small during this time. The loop pressure is then increased to 3600 psi normal operating pressure followed by increasing loop temperature to test inlet-temperature.. The reactor is brought to power. Normal operating conditions hsve thus been established.

These conditions are:

3600 psi internal pressure c.nd 2000 psi external pressure for a maximum difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the pressure tube of 1600 psi;.675*F pressure tube taximum te=perature (including gamma heating) and 600*F pressure tube extension maximum temperature. Reverse procedure is fellowed during loop and' reactor shutdown.

4 II h: 9 Revision I Paragraph UG-21 of ASE Code VIII specifies the following procedure to determine minimum vessel design pressure:

"UG-21 DF. SIGN PRESSURE.

Vessels covered by thiu section of the Code shall be designed for at least the most cevere condition of coincident pressure and temperature expected in normal operation. For this condition, the maximum difference in pressure between the inside and outside of a vessel, or between any two chambers of a combination unit, shall be considered (see Paras.

UG-98andUA-60(b))."

l The most severe condition of coincident pressure and temperature expected in normal operation ja 1600 psi at 675'F in the pressure tube and 600*F in the pressure tube extension. However, for extra conservatism, the following conditions are used for design. The pressure tube extension and the pressure tube are designed to withstand h000 psig internal pressure and zero ext.rnal pressure at the above listed temperaturer and 2100 psig external pressure and zero inte.rnal pressure at the above listed temperatures.

(

The pressure tube extension vall is based on 2100 ps.g 'xternal pressure at 600 *F.

Allovable stress for SA 182 Type 316 stainless steel for these conditions is found in Section VIII of the Code to be 15,950 at 600*F. The maximum outside diameter 1-Al in. and tp minimun vall thickness is calculated from Figure UG-31 of Code VIII to be 0 360 inches.

The specified minimum vall thickness is 0 379 inches.

The pressure tube va n. thickness is based on 2100 psig external pressure at 675'F. Allowable stress for SA 182 Type 316 for these conditions is 15,875 psi at 675'F. The maximum outside diameter is 2 753 inches and the minimum vall thickness is calculated from Figure UG. 31 of ASE Code s

i II 14: 10 o

Revision I VIII to be 0 350 inches. The minimum specified vall thickness is 0 3S3 inches.

During fabrication, strict quality control and inspection procedures vill be adhered to.

All velded joints vill be fully radiographed to Code standards. All pressure containin6 mater;als vill be ultrasonically inspectet Welder and velding procedure qualifications vill be based i

on ASME Code IX.

Following fabric 9 tion, the entire pressure tube assembly vill be hydro-statically tested in accordance with Paragraph 10-99 of Code VIII. The assemoly vill be subjected to separate internal and external pressure tests.

Pressure Tube Baffles, The three 'res,sure tube baffles are fabricated from stainless steel sheet metat are provided to mininize the loss of heat to the Saxton reactor primary coc,lant and to maintain the pressure tube vall temperature at or below an acceptable value of 675'F. This is achieved by the insulating effect of three 0.020 inch thick ' layers-of stagnant vater.

The baffle design temperatures are based on 950*F inlet coolant te=perature.

The three baffles are fastened to the pressure tube baffle support cylinder at a slip joint, and the support cylinder is velded to the spring guide. The support cylinder has six slots to allow inlet flow access to the downflow channel formed by the pressure tube baffles and -

the fuel assembly hanger baffles. The lower grid-is bolted to the pressure tute baffles, s

Revision I Denincraliz$r A f1'ishstble, mixed-bed dcmineralizer renovos ionic impurities and corrosion products from the 1 cop coolant stream. A retention screen on both sides of the resin bed prevents the loss of resin particles to the outlet line.

The resin can be removed through a resin flush line abe e the retention screen. A screen at the inlet nozzle prevents resin f"x1 entering this line during backflush operations. The vessel is refil. ed with fresh resin through a fill line which can also be used for ti e insertion of resin sample probes.

The demineralizer vessel and internals are made of austenitic stainless steal with all joints and connections welded.

Local radiation shielding is provided for the demineralizer. The supercritical loop domineralizer is located near the reactor plant domineralizers to permit use of the existing resin handling lines r.ad equipment. The valve located.behind the shielding has an extensj on handle to pem.it operation during resin sampling or replacement.

Filters Tuo cartridge-type filters are provided to remove resin fines which may have passed througn the domineralizer retention screen. One. filter is sized to rencve 5 micron or larger particler and the other is sized tc remove 25 nicron or larger particles. The filter cartridge may be removed from the filter container and replaced if it becomes fouled. The filter l

container is constructed of Type 304 or 316 austenitic stainless steel.

Cooling vater flows to the vacuum pump seal vater cooler and recombiner condenser in series. The component cooling vater pressure relief valve, PSV-6, is set to relieve at 150 psig. In order to assure an adequate supply of component cooling vater to both the Saxton System and the Super-critical Loop, one of the 155 gpm component cooling pumps is to be replaced by a pump of the same type with the same design parameters but with a 260 cpm capacity.

5,2 Shutdown Cooling Shutdown coolin6 utslizes the high pressure and low pressure coolers described in Section II-4, Supercritical coolant System. The circulation is supplied by the condensate pumps. In addition, emergency' cooling can be effected by using the emergency condenser described in Section II-5.4, 1

Safety Injection System.

53 Coolant Makeup The cupercritical loop is filled by gravity with vnter supplied from the head tank. The water enters the loop piping at the suction of the super-critical coolant pumps. During filling, the standby loop pump is operated to :1rculate water through the. loop. The vent line from the p1 essure tube outlet to the collection header is open to instrument LI-X4 for level indication.

The head tank provides NPSH for the loop pumps during cperation of the supercritical loop. The tank is a vertical cylindrical vessel inbricated of stainless steel and is provided with an overflow..It'is designed for r

a pressure of 65 psig or full vacuum at 312*F.

General Description The supercritical loop is protected from overpressure by relief valves on:

a) outlet-line from the pressure tube, b) discharge side of the 100p pump and standby pump, c) discharge side of the gas compressor, d) demineralized water line supplying the coolant reservoir, and e) component cooling vater line.

Two rupture discs are also supplied. One protects the low precsure cooler from overpressure in the inlet. A recond protects the deaerator from overpressure. An automatic valve is located between the pressure tube inles and outlet lines to protect the intercnanger in the event of blockage of the pressure tube. Upon receiving an excessive positive pressure drop signal, the valve automatically opens to permit the flow to bypass the pressure tube. This bypass is also used to flush out the

(

pressure tube connectors before they tre opened.

l L

1 Pressure Relief Valves The pressure relief valves are self-actuated, totally enclosed, spring-loaded valves.

The valves on the outlet line from the pressure tube, PSV-1 and PSV-2, diccharge to the storage well below normal water level. Each valve is designed to relieve one-half of the maximum combined flov of the loop pump and the standby-pump. The set pressures are 4000 and 4120 psig respectively.

The valve on the discharge side of the loop pump, PSV-3, relieves to the suction side of the pump. The set pressure.1s 5000 psig..

II-5: 7 Revision I 56 Sampling General Description The Sampling System is shown on Figure II-7 Two types of samples are taken from the supercritical loop:

a) continuous crud samples b) periodic liquid samples Crud samples can be taken continuously frcm three points in the loop; immediately upstream of corrosion specimen holders 1 and 2 and down-stream of corrosion specimen holder 3.

Each sample stream flows throu6h a sample cooler, then through a pressure-reducing valve into a mixed-bed sample ion exchanger. Impurities in the stream are retained in the ion-exchange resin. The sample Etream is returned to the loop at the deserator.

Periodic liquid samples are also taken upstream and downstream of the demineralizers and upstream of the low pressure cooler. Since these i

are cold, low pressure streams, they are routed to the plant sampling I

system, outside the vapor container, vnere normal sampling techniques l

may be used.

reactor coolant th2ough the annulus between the pressure tube and the penetration nozzle. The bleed stream flows throuEh a cooling coil which is ireersed in the water in the storage vell and then passes through a pressure reducin8 valve to the Saxton reactor purification system dovn-stream of the pressure letdown valve. Bleed flow rate is indicated on the loop control board and an alarm is activated by flow belov 50% of the set point. A heater shut-off signal is generated at no flow conditions.
