INTRODt'CTION AND SL'01ARY i

The contents of this report are in response to the AEC (DRL) December 1966 i

Ictter requesting that the Saxton Reactor loss of coolant accident protec-tion be revaluated in light of advances made in the techniques for analyz-ing core behavior following such an accident.

The design and f abrication standards of the Saxton Reactor Coolant System are reviewed and compared to those currently in use in Section 2.1.

An in-spection program is proposed suppicmenting the existing program to give in-l creased assurance of system integrity (Section 2.2).

In Section 3 the safety injection system design and operati in is reviewed and a post-accident recircula-tion system is proposed.

In Seeidon 4 analysis of core thermal and containment resented utilizing current computational tools for pressure transients are e loss of coolant accident analysis.

It is shown tnat the - emergeny core cooling system capability exceeds its design basis and that there is margin in the I

containment design.

It is concluded that the existing systems supplemented with the proposed inspection program and recirculation system modifications provic'e the necessary protection to the public.

4 2.1.1 Reactor Vessel Tabulation of Design Design data for the Saxton Reactor Pressure Vessel is presented in Table I

2.1.1-1.

The design pressure and temperature are seen to be the same as for the RG&E plcnt while the Saxton operating temperature and pressure have been slightly less. The hydrostatic test pressure for Saxton exceeds that for RG6E.

Design Codes The reactor vessel shell is of multi-layered construction while the bottom and top heads, vessel and head flanges and nozzles are of solid wall con:truc-tion. Vessel construction was in accordance with A. O. Smith high pressure multi-layer specification MLS-30A, rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry receiving a Pennsylvania special number and stamping and was in accordance with the ASME Power Boiler Code Section I where applicable.

Materials, Fabrication and Quality Control l

Fabrication and inspection of the vessel has been in ac;ordance with the rules and requirements of both Sections I and VIII of the ASME Code except that:

1.

Final stress relief was not performed, t

2.

Ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle testing were used in lieu of radiography on welds between the multi-layer shell and the solid wall parts-of the vessel.

A review of the materials, fabrication and non-destructive testing require-ments has been made comparing current ASME Section. III requitements to the

/

construction requirements of the Saxton Rea: tor Vessel. The main differences l

and' exceptions are:

2.1.1-1 s

gi L- -.-- -.. - - - - -

1.

Use of ultrasonic, magnaflux, and radiography at partial thickness to inspect circumferential welds to the main shell course and nozzle to main shell course welde, in lieu of radiography.

t 2.

No ultrasonic testing of the main shell course was made occ.ase it is made of multi-layers of 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch thick plates, li 3.

No magnaflux of the velds af ter final hydrostatic testing, and 4.

Welding of the spacer blocks directly to the roll-bonded cladding.

In general, the material, fabrication and non-destructive testing were equivalent to the present requirements of Section III. All A. O. Smith feiracation, heat treatment, and non-destructive testing procedures were reviewed cnd approved by WApD.

The A. O. Smith manufacturers report to Westinghouse on the pressure vessel component chemical and physical tests, list of qualified welders, hydrostatic tests and stress relief results and inspection procedures are presented in Appendix A.

Further Appendix B of this report (WCAp-1391) contains a t echni-cal description, description of manuf acturing procedures, inspection techniques, and weld designs for the Saxton Vessel. Appendix C of this report (WCAP-1620) l l

centains a discussion of ultrasonic inspections and cyclic stresses expected in the vessel and a summary of the vessel inspections.

Layered Yessel Justification, Advantages and past Experience i

some ot' the advantages of multi-layer vessels are:

1. -

The relatively thin plates used in multi-layer construction for reactor

. vessels exhibit better metallurgical properties than thick plates.

2.

The precompression built into the inner layers of the multi-layer shell by the combination of wrapping load and weld shrinkage techniques 1

employed in the manufacture of multi-layer shells results in a faverable stress distribution through the wall under internal a

pressure.

This precompression was not credited in the calcula-tions for establishing material thicknesses.

3.

By means of weep holes running from the outside of the inner barrei through the outer layer wraps, any fluid which might leak from the inner barrel is monitored.

A more thorough discussion of the advantages can be found in Appendix B.

Also, in Appendix B is a history of non-nuclear multi-layer construction application and a description of some of the nuclear applications oth?.r than Saxton, some of whien are:

Pressure Vessel Cyclic Fatigue Analysis The thermal aspects of the Saxton Pressure Vessel start-up were determined by comparison to a similar size vessel which had a detailed thermal analysis.

Using the above results an analysis was made to determine whether the re-quiremente of paragraph N415.1 of Section III of the ASME Code were met.

v-Compliance with the intent of this paragraph exempts a pressure vessel f rom I

requiring a detailed cyclic fatigue anslysis.

2.1.1-3

)

L L

The analysis to de:< ninc compliance with N415.1 used the more conservative of fatigue curves, allowable cycles and allowable stresses taken either from the PB 151987 document which was ue.d on th9 original vessel evaluation or Section III of the ASME Code. The vattous criteria of paragraph N415.1 were checked assuming the vessel would be req sired to withstand three times the number of estimated temperature and pressure transient occurrences listed in Pigure 1 of Appendix C (WCAP-1620). The number of temperature and pressure transient occurrences estimated in WCAP-1620 was based on a five year life for the vessel.

This conservative approach shows that the vessel does meet the requirements 8

of paragraph N415.1 of Section III of the ASME Code neglecting the loss-of-coolant accident and assuming a maximum heat-up cool-down rate of 100*F/hr.

Hence a detailed fatigue analysis is not required for this vessel.

Table 2.1.1-2 shows the percentage of the new number of estimated transients assumed for the paragraph 1".15.1 analysis that have been used to date.

Nil Ductility Transition and Post Constructica Testing of the Saxton Reactor Vessel Materials As part of a W PWRPD evaluation of reactor vessel materials, a Saxton Pressure Vessel 1rradiatica m veillance Program was conducted.

This basically consisted af inserting actual reactor vessel materials in capsule inside the reactcr vessel to monitor the effects of radiation. The capsules contained-the inner shell material as well as the material from the wrapped plates.

Results of the evaluation of the capsule removed (No. 577-5) are shown in the Figures 2.1.1-1 through 2.1.1-3 for the Saxton inner shell material (A 212), the Saxton wrapped shell material (modified A 212 AOS 1135) and the ASTM correlation material (A 212).

These materials have a transition temperature shift similar to A302B steel. Figure 2.1.1-4-shows that the

=

observed transition temperature shifcs were less than the design values.

The curves on the figure are plotted for A 302 B steel. The expected maximum integrated fast flux (E > 1 mev) at the-vessel 1R is 1.3-x 10 g

2.1.1-4

\\

n-cm" at the end of the predicted Core 111 life.

Based on the design curve shown in Figure 2.1.1-4 for 500*F, the predicted maximum shift is 240'F.

2.1.2 Reactor Coolant Pipe and Fitting Table 2.1.2-1 presents the design data.

As in the case of the pressure vessel the pipe was designed for equivalent temperature and pressure to RG6E.

Codes Used and Comparison to Present Codes The Saxton reactor coolant pipe and fittings were designed to USAS B31.1 and also Section-I of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code. This is equivalent to the design basis which is used for current plants (ASA USAS B31.1) and is directly comparable to the SCE reactor coolant pipe which was designed to USAS B31.1 and also met the requirements of Section 1.

Description of Pipe Size and Fabrication Practices The reactor coolant pipe consists of 12" pipe between the main coolant pump discharge nozzle and reactor vessel, and 14" pipe between steam generator and main coolant pump suction nozzle. The pipe was shop and field fabricated in accordance with USAS B31.1 and Section I requirements..The pipe consists of straight lengths of pipe, fittings, and pipe bends. The centrifugal casting process used for the pipe and static casting process use'd for the fittings have been used in industry for many years. -Prior to accepting bending of centrifugally cast pipe a development program was prepared and carried out to demonstrate that the pipe could be bent without any adverse effects on its integrity.

Ibterials, Fabrication and Quality Control s

The pipe used in the Saxton-Main Coolant-System is centrifugal cast type

-316 stainless steel purchased to the requirements of. ASTM _A351 and Code Case N-9. The static cast fittings are type 316 stainless steel and were-

_ purchased to the requirements are of ASTM A351 and Code Case N-10.

These requirements are identical to the cast fittings being procured for recent plants which are purchased _to ASTM A351,_ Code Case N-10.

The_ pipe and

[

'fittingsweresubjectedto100$_ radiography _perAST}1E-94andmet-there-quirements of AST[1 E-71 Class 2.

9 2.1.2-1

On current pipe additional tensile testc are taken to obtain material properties at 650'T with a goal of having the minimum acceptable yield strength equal to 1.20 X the allowable for wrought material and 1.25 X allowable for castings. Although high temperature tests were not conducted l

on the Saxton material, subsequent high temperature tests (650'F) were conducted on centrifugal cast pipe for the Selni Reactor.

The high temp-erature data (650'F) on the Selni pipe shows a yield strength which is 1.32 x the allowable strength at temperature. The Saxton pipe would have equivalent properties at 650*F.

Records on the Saxton pipe and fittings have been reviewsd and fo"nd to conform to the specifL'ation requirements. This included a review of the chemical analys.

' ensile tests, radiographs, fluid penetrant tests, hydro-static pressure tes _ and flattening tests. The records do not reveal any deficiencies in the specifications of' Quality Control for the pipe and fitting material.

Inspections to Date l

In April 1963 and again in April 1965 inspections were carried out to-determine if any changes had taken place in the Saxton pipe material.

Double wall radiographs and penetrant inspection tests were performed on a pipe bend.

These tests did not reveal any unacceptable indications and did not indicate any cracks-or propagation of defects.

2.1.3 Steam Generator Tabulation of Design Data The design date for the Saxton Steam Generator are presented in Table 2.1.3-1.

The design and hydrostatic test pressure are seen to exceed those for RGE while the operating conditions are essentially the same.

Codes Used and Comparison to Present Table 2.1.3-1 presents a comparison of the codes used for the Saxton Steam Generator compared to current codes.

Futerials and Justification Table 2.1.3-1 presents a summary of materials for Saxton Steam Generator and Westinghouse (WAPD) current standard steam generators. Note that there are two major differences. Stainless steel tubes were employed in the Saxton

=-

m.

unit while Inconel tubing is used in our current units. Stainless steel tubing was used in the Saxton steam generator because it offered the corrosion-resistance that was required. The austenitic stainless steels, however, are known to be susceptible to chloride stress corrosion attack under certain conditions.

This has been minimized by maintaining chemistry within limits listed in Table 2.1.3-2.

Inconel is used in WAPD current steam generators

-~

because it offers the corrosion resistance required while at the same time it offars a very high degree of resistance to chloride attack. The heat transfer characteristics and the' physical properties _-of:Inconel and austenitic stainless steels are similar.

The other major change in steam generator material is the change-from carbon-silicon s' teel to mag-moly steel. This change was made because the mag-moly af fords a reduction in weight as a result of its greater ' strength.

1 Fabrication and Quality Control Table-2.1.3-1 presents a summary-of the non-destructive tests performed on f-both base materials and weldments-for-the Saxton and for current steam _ generators.

Allowable and Actual Stresses The material properties of the steam generator channel head, tube sheet,-

r shell members and tubing have been reviewed.

The mill specifications for minimum yield and tensile stress exceeded the minimum stress specifications of ASME Section I.

The calculated membrane stresses at design conditions-are consistent with Section I allowable design values.

The stress levels at normal operating conditions are considerably below those at design conditions.

.1.4 Reactor Coolant Pump The pomp design data are listed in Table 2.1.4-1.

A review of records oa the boundaries of the Saxton Reactor Coolant Pump has beca made. The design basis for the Saxton Reactor Coolant Pump is the ASME Loilet and Pressure Vessel Code,Section VIII, 1959, with applicable addenda as of January, 1960. The desigt, pressure is 2500 pei, and the design temperatu.e is 650*F.

The mater;als and non-destructive tests specified for pressure boundary parts cre summariaed in Table 2.1.4-2 where parts are identified by group letters in the tacle according to the following headings:

Croup 3

A Casing B

Stator Assembly C

Sealing Parts i

It will be noted in the table that the drawings call for chemical and physical tests and ncin-destructive tests. Quality Control records are still on hand as of February, 1968, confirming the drawing requirements for the casing,-flange bolts, and cap bolts.-

l-Additional non-destructive tests, not shown inLthe tabic, were given on detail machining, sub-assembly, and assembly drawings to insure sound welds and provide hydrostatic testing. A eview of these drawings shows one_! exception. This is the stator cap assembly which does not specify:n dye penetrant check.for the

~

welds at the vent piping. -Since the cooling tube sleeve at_the elbow-to cooling-coil connection did not have special material requirements, a-dye-penetrant check at'these externally-accessible sleeves furnished more assurance of good-material.

?.1.5 Control Rod Drive Mechanism Pressure Vessel Housinc The tecords of the Saxton Pressure Vessel materials were reviewed for in-formation regarding the type of material used for each component, chemical and physical test reports, ultrasonic, radiographic and dye penetrant tests performed. The materials used compare favorably with those used in current control rod drive mechanisms.

The same material AISI 304 stainless steel, is presently being used for the rod travel housing, relief vent and cap.

The pressure housing on the current mechanism is made from aISI 304 stainless steel instead of AISI 403 (modified) stainless steel.

The complete pressure housing for the Saxton control rod drive mechanism was designed in accordance with Section I of the 1959 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, including ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Special Rulings #1270N, #'273N, and #1274N.

Fabrication, testing, and inspection were done in accordance with the regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

All structural joints are mechanical joints rather than welded joints.

The canopy seal weld between the rod travel housing and plug.is 304 stain-less steel to 304 stainless steel. This weld was by the inert gas shielded tungsten are method using 308 stainless steel filler metal.

For the pres-I sure to rod travel housing canopy, seal weld, the 403 stainless steel pres-sure housing was " buttered" with 307 stainless steel and was dye tested.

I-The canopy then was welded to this " buttered" area in the same manner pre-viously described, l

i I

The canopy seal at the top of the pressure housing (for seal welding to the i

head adapter)-was formed of 307 stainless. steel and is welded to the head adapter by the manual shielded metal are method using 308 stainless steel filler metal.

The only dissimilar metals weld joint on any of-the pressure vessel comp-onents is on the stationary gripper assembly. There are ten (10) joints of 304 stainless steel-to 405 stainless steel which are welded by the manual metallic are method using INCO "A" electrode. It should be noted that these joints are assembly type velds, and are remote from that part of the assembly which is subjected to pressure stresses.

2.1.6 Pressurizer Codes Used and Comparison to Present Design, material, and test data for the Saxton pressurizer is compared with the current pressurizer design in Tables 2.1.6-1 and

-2.

The pressurizer was designed with the requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section I and the ASME Code Cases 1270N and 12735. These require-ments met the Section III requirements for fabrication, inspection and material requirements except for the following areas which are considered acceptable as noted:

1.

The shell and head material being less than four inches thick were not ultrasonically tested. The requirements for ultrasonic testing for materials less than four inches were established in December.

1967.

The shell material was a forging and was magnetic particle tested after heat treatment. The head plates were approximately-2 inches _in thickness; these comparatively thin plates did not receive ultrasonic testing or magnetic particle testing except for approximately 1/2 inch on either side of all welds, y

2.

The impact test requirements for the vessel material were 15 f t lbs at 10'F instead of 20 ft lbs at the NDTT as stated in Section III.

Prior to Section III, industry used an NDTT for the carbon silicon steels based on 15.ft-lbs.

Since the pressurizer is operated at temperatures in excess of 212*F, the 5 ft lbs increment would be.

accounted for, s

3.

The heater veld to the diaphragm plate which is a pressure containing weld is a fillet weld rather than a J groove reinforced fillet weld.-

In the Saxton design, this diaphragm is backed up by a cover plate bolted to the vessel. The heater weld as well as the adjacent center pipe support weld was dye penetrant examined both at the first pass stage and the final weld. These welds are similar to tube-to-tube sheet welds.

f.

2.J.6-1

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. _. _. _. _ _. _ _. _ _ _ _... _ _. _ _... ~.

4 The main nozzle velds were full penetration welds and vsre radiographed.

Present Section III requirements would require UT inspection because of the straight wall of the nozzle. The comparatively thin wall of this vessel and head, however, did not-limit radiographic interpreta-tion. These nozzle welds were magnafluxed af ter back chipping as additional veld assurance.

Materials and Justification The materials met the requirements of-Section III except as noted previously.

All cladding was deposited by manual metal arc, inert gas shielded arc, and/or automatic series submerged arc welding methods. In addition to a visual inspection upon completion of the first layer of deposited cladding, the final clad surface which was exposed to the primary coolant was dye penetrant examined compatible with the present Section III requirements.

Fabrication and Quality Control The fabrication and quality control except-as previously noted were equivalent i

to present Section III requirements.

Inspection to Date l

l The inside of the pressurizer was visually inspected within several feet-of the bottom of the pressurizer after removal of the heater package. No evidence of weld cladding failure as would be indicated by " rust" was observed.

This operation was performed prior to startup with the plutonium core, i.

2.2 INSPECTION PROGRAM A primary coolant system inspection program is planned as a supplement to the existing inspection program to provide increased assurance of system integrity.

The primary coolant system with the exception of the reactor vessel is reasonably accessible for inspection.

The program described below may, in some instances, be limited by accessibility prob %r s or radia-tion exposure to inspection personncl.

Such limitations ca, no practically be determined until the inspection program along with other maintenance work is planned out in detall or until such time as the progra ' is actually carried out.

However, it is the intent to carry the prsgram out to the fullest practical extent and to supplement it and expand it as necessary to investigate any unusual or unsatisfactory conditions fevud during the inspection.

Any

gjg, unsatisf actory conditions found which ould af f ect system integrity wi31 be a34' evaluated by the licensee using such technical a(vice as may be necessary.

"I

4. i' t

V including a review and evaluatica by the Saxtor, Saf ety Committee.

m The program described has been inftlated and will be repeated at five year

~

intervals.

The steam generator and the pressurizer have flanged access ports which permit internal accessibility for visual examinations. The reactor coolant pump casing and motor ere available for internal inspection after the main flange is unbolted and the motor is removed.

P Since the reactor vessel is closely surrounded by the support skirt and this i

extends in a water tight casing over the nozzles between the vessel and the concrete shielding, the outside of the vessel is availan for inspection c.

only at the upper flange.

Limited accessibility to the inside of the vessel is obtained by removal _ of the head and the upper core barrel and instrument support frame.

It is possible to obtain sufficient access to primary system components to demonstrate that there has been no significant change in the materials over the previous operating period and that system integrity is adequate for 7

continued operation.

i.

A review of the original design, materials, fabrication practices and quality control records has shown that from a safety standpoint the comp-onent are equivalent in integrity to those constructed for more current

plants, Operating history supports this point and the following inspec-tien program will serve as additional confirmation.

.i All aon-destructive test'.ng will be conducted in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III. Specifically radiography will be governed by peragraph 624, magnetic particle testing by paragraph 626 and dye penetrant testing by paragraph 627.

The inspection program proposed for each component is shown in Figure 2.2-1 and Table 2.2-1 and is as follows.

2.2.1 Reactor Vessel The Saxton Reactor Vessel has had the head removed four times during its opera 31ng_his t ory. At this time the available portions of the vessel and the reactor vessel head were given visual examinations. Each inspection indicated that the vessel and head were in satisfactory condition.. In addition, in 1967, all 36 of the reactor vessel studs were ultrasonically examined by the-Magnaflux Corp. - Nine of the studs were also.given a fluid.

penetrant-examination.

The results of these tests were satisfactory and-the studs were reinstalled.

The primary system and the reactor vessel have received 63 cold (86*F <

Temp < 212*F) leak tests at pressures in excess of 2000 psig and 60 hot

. leak tests, 41:of which were between 2400-and 2600 psig and 19 of which-were between 1500 and 2200 psig. The results from all of these tests were satisfactory.

No leakage has been experienced to date from the leak-offs-5 2.2-2

---__._--__--__.--._._n_

l which penetrate the multi-layer shell from a point just outside the inner layer.

To facilitate inspection of the reactor vessel, the head and upper core barrel will be removed.

The head will be pitced on its stand on the cperating deck and will be given a careful visual examination on the ID and I

OD.

In this visual examination as in visual examinations for other comp-onents optical aids will be used to reach unaccessible er high radiation l

areas and to obtain magnification of the surface being examined. The weld

- ~ ~ _

between the_ head dome and flange will be_given_afpenetrant test from the

's.4-u i

outside.

-m l

The react-r vessel cladding will be given a visual examination using a boro-scope from the flange down to the top of the thermal shield. The examina-tion of the cladding with the boroscope will be through several 1-1/4" holes in the core support flange which restricts the examination to the location of the holes. The bottom head will be inspected using a small television camera.

2.2.2 Steam Generator i

I j

The primary side of the steam generator has been previously opened and a careful visual examination made of the internal clad surface, the divider plate, and the tube to tube sheet velds. No unusual conditions were found and to date no leaks have been detected from the primary to secondary side l

of the steri generator.

t l

The steam generator will be given a visual examination in the area of the tube suest to channel head we,ld, the tube sheet to shell weld and the nozzle to channel head _ welds. These welds will also be given a penetrant inspection.

The man ways on the the secondary side and on the channel head will be removed to permit visual inspection, 1

l 2.2-3

2.2.3 Pressuriser The pressurizer has previously been given a visual inspection by removal of the heater b"ndle which penetrates the bottom.

During these inspections l

no unusual conditions were noticed on the weld overlays cladaing in either the steam or water pnase areas.

Inspection of the pressurJcer will consist of a visual examination and penet. rant test on the OD of_the shell to he.ad w.e.lds, the surge line nozzle

.. ~.

to shell weld and the surge line nozzle to pipe weld.

.. - ~

Internal examinations will be accomplished by removing the heate_r_, bundle and enking a visual examination of the ID.

In addition, photpg,raphs will be taken of the cladding in the steam phase, water phase and at the water to stean phase interface to determine if there has been significant corrosion or c:acking of the cladding and to serve as a reference for future examina-tions. The heater bundle will be given a visual examination prior to reinstal-Intion.

I 2.2.4 Reactor Coolant Pump The reactor coolant pump was removed from its casing on March 6, 1968, to effect replacement of a leaky flange gasket. When the pump was removed, the casing flange and interior was given a careful visual examination and no defects were found.

The motor flange was examined with similar results.

All flange bolts were measured before and after removal from the casing.

l These readings were compared to readings taken prior to the last installation l

l and indicated that no significant relaxation or creep has taken place in the bolts. Additional maintenance inspections were carried out on the l

oump bearings and the pump was reinstalled.

!Ao additional inspections

\\

l are n.ow planned for the reactor coolant pump.

l l

2.2.5 Reactor Coolant Pipe and Fittings in 1963 end 1965 the 30' bend on the 12" reactor coolant pipe at the coolant pump outlet received penetrant and radiographic inspection. The results of these inspections were satisfactory.

l 2.3 LEAK AND LEAR DETECTION EXPERIENCE I

The Saxten Leak Detection System is described in Section 210 of the Saxton Final Safety Analysis Report.

Leakage past the inner shell of the reactor vessel would be indicated in the control room. The reactor has leak off connections between head gaskets which is indicated in the sample roon.

Leakage from steam generater manways, pressurizer manways, and main coolant pump flanges is collected, indicated on a pressure gauge and alarmed in the control room.

The existence of pressurdeer relief valve leakage is indicated by sensing temperature increase on the outlet of the valve. The control rod drive room has a sump which would collect water leakage from rod drives and alarms in the control room.

Gaseous leaks from the steam phase of the pressurizer and valve packing leaks have occured and have been observed by gaseous activity increase in the containment. Larger leaks such as the pre-post filter gaskets have caused both the particulate and gaseous activity in the containment to increase and also have caused the sump pump to operate occasionally. Up

\\

to the present, leaks due to tubing fittings have been taken care of by the charging system and have been indicatgd by loss of level in the pressurizer.

Leaking safety valves in the charging and letdown systems have actuated the discharge tank high level alarm-and have caused-the discharge pumps to operate. Leakage which has occurred has been readily detected because of the presence of boric acid crystals.

I To date there has been no indication of leakage into the steam system (as determined by Tritium analysis) or past the inner shell of the reactor vessel. There has been no evidence of leakage through system piping or velds.

3 DIERGENCY COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION i

3.1 EXISTING SAFETY INJLCTION SYSTEM SDD1ARY The flow diagram for the fafety Injection System is shown on rigure 3-1.

The system utilizes the refueling water 8torage tank, two pumps, and the piping, fittings, and instrumentation shown.

All of the system except for the two injection lines and the two check valves is outside the containment I

building. The safety injection pumps are motor driven, centrifugal type

'l g

pumps.

Luch will supply 375 gpm at 723 paig with a shut-off head of 915 piig.

The pumps take cuction from the 80,000 gallon refueling water storage g

tank which contains a minimum of 70,000 gallon of borated refueling water during operation.

Injection is directly into the reactor _ vessel through two spare nozzles which are 120' apart. One injection noerle discharges into the inlet downcomer region thereby to the bottom of the vessel the g

other injects into the upper vessel plenum.

The safety injection derives from a low pressure (; 1000 psig) signal from detectors in the pressurizer dd-or the main coolant loop.

Both pumps start automatically and each of the

,gf, 0.

two isolation valves in the injection lines open automatically. Water flows by gravity feed from the refueling water storage tank to the pump USUd suction. The piping and check valve artangement results in series injection for the expected case of both pumps starting.

However, if either pump fails to start, the arrangement allows unimpeded injection by the other.

A flow controller channel is provided on each injection line to detect i

the abnormally high flow that would occur in the event of an injection line rupture and close the associated isolation valve thereby diverting flow to the remaining line.

The safety injection pumps continue to run until stopped by the operator.

Control switches for each pump are located on the main control console.

I 3.1-1

t 3.2 PROPOSED MODITICATIONS Recirculation System The quantity of water required to balance decay heat by boil off is small r

due to the low thermal heat rate.

Assuming operation at a steady power at 35 MWt prior to the loss of coolant. the following water addition rates are needed for boil offs.

Time After Decay Heat Required Water Accident Rate,(KW)

Addition Rate (CPfi) 10 min 1120 7.70 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 666 4.60 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> 385 2.60 2 days 149 1.00 1 week 109 0.80 10 weeks 80 0.60 A fully automatic spilled coolant and injection water recirculation system will be provided to maintain the core flooded after the initial refueling water inventory is injected. Two canned motor recirculation pumps will be located adjacent to the axuiliary compartment sump and the piping, valving and instrumentation modifications indicated on Figure 3-2 will be made.

Design parameters for the recirculation pu*aps are tabulated in Table 3-1.

A recirculation signal (marked R on diagram) derived from redundant low water level signals in the Refueljng Water Storage Tank will automatically open the isolation valve in each recirculation path, start both recirculation r

t pumps and stop the injection pumps. Each recirculation pump will deliver

/g f7 into the reactor vessel via connections to the safety injection lines up stream of the existing check valves as shown. The capacity of either pump

-is more than sufficient to supply makeup water -to accommodate-boil-off at the earliest time recirculation would be initiated.

Spilled coolant from a rupture occuring in the auxiliary con.partment will drain directly to the sump.

Since a break could also occur in the reactor i

3.2-1

%N

~_ -

compartroent, which would result in spillage into the r torage well w.ater, 1

a flow path will be provided between the reactor compartenent and the auxiliary 3

cottpa r t rnen t.

This will be accornplished by extending two existing pipJng connections (presently capped) between the two compartments to an elevation

(),

[

slightly above normal reactor cortpartrnent water IcVel.

Either a valve

' O '. 94 0

or cap provision will be included in each line to permit isolation when

, g, '

the water level is increased during refueling. During operation the connections '

will be left open. The head of spilled injection water over the pipe connec-tions and the flow area of the 3 inch pipe is sufficient to gravity feed the recirculation pumps.

The pump and valve motors and the instrumentation will be suitable for the post accident containment environment.

Remote indication of the posi-tionoftheisolationvalvesont/futletoftherecirculationpumpswill be provided in the control rc,om.

Each pair of a recirculation pump and its corresponding isolation valv.)

will be powered from a separate bus.

A local pressure indicator will be provided on the discharre line of each recirculation pump.

If necessary the suction line of each pump will be provided with a connection fitting so that a small we ter tank can be positioned adjacent to the pump and connected to the suction for testing shutoff head.

[

The flow path for the test will be from the tank through the putnp and to either the sump or back to the tank via a small bypass line from the pump discharge.

t Flow Controller Channel The logic in the existing circuit for detecting an injection line tupture and closing the associated injection'line isolation valve is based on-a---

twoto one flow ratto in the two injection lines.

If the flow ratio exceeds two to one the valve-in the line with the higher flow is automatically isolated.-

l To preclude isolation of an intact line in the event the isolation valve in the remaining line should fail to open, the circuit vill be modified

]

to require indication of an open flow path in the line with the lower flow prior to isolation of the valve in the line with higher flow. The modification

]

will include a position signal indicating the valve is in an open position to ensure that the flow path is open.

Safety injection Actuation Circuitry i

i The safety injection actuation circuitry has been analyzed frem the standpoint i

of an active component failure preventing automatic operation. Failure of the master actuation relay, operating coil, or its fuse could prevent l

automatic safety injection. With coil or fus3 fallore the operator would trip the relay manually. Mechanical failure of the relay would require b*

s st:a.

the operator to manually start the pumps ar.d operate the valves. To increase the reliability for automatic initiatfor the circuit will be modified by addition of separate relay, operating coil, and fuse in parallel.

3.3 ELECTRICAL FACILITIES Three 115 )N transmission lines emanating from the S.S.G.S. are connected to the Pennsylvania Electric Company 11$ IN transmission system which has numerous other power sources. Also three 23 }N lines can feed the site.

These lines leave the site in three different directions. A house service generator with a capacity of 937 INA lu availabic for station service power.

The approximate time for bringing the house generator up to speed and sup-plying statJon service is approximately 45 minutes.

1 Power from the S.S.G.S. is fed to SNEC by two independent undergrourpfeeders.

4 Loss of the normal supply allows the emergency supply to close in automatically.

With the above variability of off-site electrical supply, complete loss

(

of power is in itself very unlikely.

With the low (less than 5 Mwe) electrical output of the nuclear unit, the' loss of the unit as would occur for a loss of ecolant accident has an insignificant effect on the system.

Hence there is no reason to expect a loss of power concurrent with loss of coolant.

Considering this and the backup afforded by the house service generator the existing facilities are adequate.

LOSS-0T-COOLAN7 ANALYSIS hiloduction The core behavior following a postulated rupture in the Reactor Coolant Syr. tem has been analyzed using the latest techniques that are used on the current generation of large pWR plants.

Specifically the computer codes used for the various phases, of the transient aret 1.

Blowdown - FLASil Code 2.

Core pwer - CHIC-KIN Code 3.

Core Thernal - LOCTA-R2 Code A brief discussion of each of these codes is presented in Appendix D.

The accidents were analyzed for a core power of 35 MWT and peak pwer at the hot spot of 19.1 KW/ft.

Three break sizes were analyzed.

These were:

1.

Double Ended Reactor Coolant pipe-- 14 inches (1.28 ft )

2 2.

25 square inch hole - 0.173 ft 2

3.

Surge Line Break - (3 inch pipe, 0.037 it )

4.1 BLOWDOWN TRANSIENT The primary pressure and volume for the three break sizes are presented in Figure'4.1-1 to 4.1-3.

The blowdown portion of the transient was calculated by the FLASil Code.

For the refilling portion of the transient it was assumed that one of the two available safety injection pumps was operating.

An eight second delay time was assumed for starting the pump. The delay time has been verified by repeated system tests.

t 4.1-1

Tor the double ended break the reactor system volume is completely voided before the safety injection pump starts. The total delay time bcfore the refill is started is based on signal delay and pump start up delay.

The safety injection pump refills to the bottom of the core at 63.5 seconds.

At this time the refill is retarded by the boil-off from the hot core.

The core is completely refloeded at 105.1 seconds.

For an intermediate size break between the surge line and rea'.or coolant pipe,.173 ft the core also becomes completely uncovered, but the vest,el is not empty when the safety injection pump begins to inject.

The bottom of the core is recovered at 42.1 secends and completely recovered at B3.7 seconds.

For the surge line break, which is the largest connecting pipe to the reactor coolant system, only the top 25% of the core becomes uncovered in the transient.

Smaller breaks would have improved volume transient.

Core Power Transient During Blovdown for the surge line break, the initial subcooled decompression, about 0,5 seconds in duration, causes a decrease in nuclear power to approximate 1v 23% due to the conservatively assumed positive density coefficirnt-of reactivity of 0.235 (k/Lo (corresponding to the minimum negative moderator coefficient of -2 x 10 6k/*F).

Following the decompression, the pressure rises slightly and the nuclear power increases to 50% at 2.2 seconds at which time trfp becomes effective.

For the 25 square inch and dovble-ended cold leg breaks, the initial subcooled blowdown and rapid continued decompression introduce voids very rapidly and extenaively causing the reactor to be shut down within 0.2 seconds.

These are a.

Stainless steel clad temperature vs. time i

Both stainless steel and circaloy clad rods are p7esent in the core. The high power density rods are rircaloy clad and operate at a peak power density of 19.1 kw/ft. The maximum power density of the stainless clad rods is 70% of the peak.

The f ollowing table summarizes the results of the curves:

0,15 The values quoted above for total core clad melt are those associated only with the Zr clad rods. No melting occurs for the stainless steel clad rods.

Thus it is concluded that no aciting occurs for a break of the largest connecting line to the Reat: tor Coolant Systems when the core is operated at 35 MWt. This is the break size for which the Safety injection System is designed.

For larger postulated ruptures up to the hypothetical double ended severance of a reactor coolant pipe, clad melting is limited to 2.3% of the fuel clad area.

4.3 CONTAINMENT TRANSIENT l

The buildup in pressure in the containment building following a loss-of-coolant is calculated by the COCO Code. A description of the COC0 Coda is contained in Appendix D.

f The pressure curve in Figure 4.3-1 is the result of the transient for the double ended severance of a reactor coolant pipe.

Included in the transient is the mass and energy from the complete blowdown of the Reactor Coolant Dymtom, all of the initial stored energy from the core and internals, all of tae decay heat of the core generated during blowdown, and the energy i

from the Zr-H 0 reaction including the energy from the hydrogen oxygen y

recombination. The peak pressore 19.4 psig which is.censiderably below the containment design pressure of 30 psig.

l In Tigure 4.3-2 the blowdown from the steam generator-is added to the energy for the core in the previous paragraphs. A peak pressure of 24.5 psig is reached which is also considerably below the containment design pressure.

CONCLUS.!EF, Analysis of core cooling system capability indicates that clad melt is prevented for credible break sizes (up to largest connecting line) and is limited to about 1% for bres.ks as large as 25 in. The protection afforded

(

by the safety injection system exceeds its design basis.

For breaks as large as a circumferential rupture, the system has capacity to limit clad melt to less than 3% of the fuel clad area.

Even for this case it is felt.

the lattice would support fuel and allow adequate cooling to prevent meltdown.

The analysis of the containment pressure transient shows that even for the double ended coolant line break, the pressure would stay within that for which it is designed.

It is our opinion that with the proposed insp.ni er program and recirculation loop modifications the system is.Acquate to protect the public.

1 I firiu >t e rlotl The Satxton Reactor lo an experimental fric111ty to attain lo.ter nuclear power cocts by conducting experimento which vill lead to h16her thermal efficienelen rtnd lower capital costo. This reactor is designed to produce 26 thermal megavutto and vill be hooked on to an exit: ting turbine. generator which in part of the S!txton Stew Generating Station of the pennsylvania F.lcotric Company at Saxton, Pennsylvani a. One of the cpeeled featuren to be incorpora.ited int o the Saxton plant is a renctor veonel of multi-layer construction, a type which prominec cignificant advantages and capital cost sav-ings for large size plants.

Malti-layer preccure vesselc, which are a specialty of the A. O.

Smith Corporation of Milwaukee, Winconnin, differ from conventional reactor vescels only in the method of fabrication of the main cylin-drical chell course. The bottom head, removable clocure head and main nozzlec are identical to thone uned in conventional reactor vesselc. The main shell of a multi-layer veccel in comprised of many layerc of relatively thin plate, each septtrately formed into a barrel, vrapped and velded one to another until the required total thickness is at tained. The inner barrel of the multi-layer shell is made from a plate, approximately 1/2 inch thick, which han been clad with a thin layer of stainleon steel prior to forming. After forming and veld!ng, the inner barrel is ctreoc-relieved and the veld seam ic completely X-rayed in accordance with the ASME Code. Subsequent layers, which are 1/4 inch preformed plates, are applied one at a time in three equal segments.

Each layer is velded intermittently along the three longitudinal ceams to the layer belov vhile the assembly is mounted in a special vrapping machine. After removal from the vrapping machine, the longitudinal layer seams are completed, ground fluch with the outside diameter of the layer and are magnetic-ally inspected. The next layer is then applied. The vrapping and velding process employed cruses a pre-stressing in each layer result-ing in a net compreceive streso in the inner layers of the completed shell. The completed multi-layer shell in bored for nozzle insertion and scarfed at each end for velding to the bottom head and bolting flange in the same manner as for solid vall vessels.

II ADVANTAr.ES IN MU!41-LAYl:h COTTTBUPTION The uce of multi-layer conc',ruction for reactor veccels offers several dictinct adyttntages over solid vall conctruction with respect to safety, overall econory and manufacturing flexibility.

The advantage in multi-layer const ruction are ao follows :

1.

The relat ively thin plateu uced in mult i-layer construction exhibit better metallure,Jeal properties than thlet platen for the same application. Thln pinteo can be manufactured without the danger of loclunionn and risvn whleh often occur in thich platen.

14etter lov temperature impact propertico recult because a more un! form quench after heat treatment la posolble.

2.

The precompression built into the inner layern of 4 multi-layer chell by the combination of vro}> ping load hnd veld shrinkage techniques employed in t he manufacture of multi.

layer chella resulic in a favorable ntrecc dist ribution through the vall under j nt ernal preanure.

In destructive pressure tents on full cize multi-layer vecceln by A. O.

Smith, 100 per cent of the calculated strengths were developed in the chelin before failure. The multi-3ayer shell test failures were in all cacen of t he duct 13e-type, without shattering or fragment ation. Similar tests conducted on solid wall vesseln by A. O. Smit h choved that the chdle developed only approxjmstely 70 to 80 per cent of th 711 calculated strengths before fuljure. Likewise, frapc. 4 tion at failure van found to be typical of solid vall vessels.

3 In multi-layer construction, only the inner clad barrel serveo as the fluid cont aining port ion of the vencel, and therefore is-the only layer of the multi-3ayer chell vnich must be leak-tight.

11y means of a c1mple vent hole running from the outside of the inner barre] through the outer layer vraps, any fluid which leaks from the inner barrel can be effectively monitored. Thun, any defect in the -inner barrel is detectible at a time when the vecnel itself is still structura]Iy cound. A camilar defect in a solid val] vesse3 would not be detectible until a complete structural failure of the vessel vould occur. Thic. feature in especially impor-tant to multi-layer nuclear vence]c since irradiation damnge which may be imparted to the ve esel valls wovld most likely occur in the inner shell only.

thickness, limited by roll nize and roll enprwity in colid vtal construction is conentia]Iy unlimited in multi layer constr' action since the chell is built up of many layer vrais of relatively thin material.

Also in future large vessels which present a handling and trancportation problem because of weight and size limitations, multi layer construction pro.

vides a solution.

In multi-layer construction, the " thin plate" metallurgy of the layer vrap material precludes the necessity for strece relieving the cettpleted vessel.

Thus, it to possible to ship multi. layer reactor veccels to the site in sections and }erform a field veld of the sections without the complications involved in colid vall construction.

The welds connecting the multi-layer shell to the bottom head and flange for61ngs are relatively free from veld shrinkage stressec and do not require atreso relief. The elimination of shrinkage stressen_in thid veld resulto from-the fact that the individual layer platen tee able to expand longitudinally, thus, stress relieving to un nececcary.

III TRCELEMD IN MJLTI-lMEh r0!MIRUCTIOf[

The une of raulti.Inyer construction for reactor vesselc imp:icen several important } roblems wh!ch kre not prevalent in colid vall vessels. These problemn are related to the heat trannfer tend related thermal otresces in multi-layer shells and ASME Code a;-

proval of vessels using this type of construction.

A.

Thermal Stresses in Hulti-Layer Shells The neutron and gamma bombardmer.t of a multi-layer reactor vessel causes a temperature gradient in the shell. This temperature gradient cauren a higher temperature at the outer layer vraps and a lover temperature at the inner vraps, beenuse of the inner vall cooling, resulting in a reduction in the interface }ressure between layers. The reduction in interface pressure between layers reduces the effective over-all thermal conductivity of the shell and thun increncen the thermal stresces.

Several years ago when the need for multi-layer effective thermal conductivity data for reactor vecnels became upparent, A. O. Smith conducted a series of testo to determine this parameter.

A laboratory device van designed and built for the determina-tion of the thermal conductivity of multi-stacked discs for various contact pressures. The attached Figure No. 1 gives the thermal conductivity results for contact pressures between dises up to 2000 psi. Withthesteelintheasreceivedcondg-tion, the thermal conductivity varies from k.0 Bt or x ft x F at zero contact pressure to 11 3 at 2000 pai, picti ng the layer steel improves the thermal conductivity to 4.? nt zero contact pressure and 14 3 at 2000 pai. The thermal conductivity of solid carbon steel is approximately 26. pickled steel is used in multi-layer vessels for nuclear applications where thermal conductivity is important.

A simple test was also used to determine the thermal conductivity of a multi-laler shell made from pickled steel. Heat was trancter-red through a k in. thich muJti-layer shell from hot oil inside to cold water outside with both fluida at atmospheric pressure. The thermal conductivity of the vall was calculated from the measured temperature drop through the vall and the amount of heat transfer-red. The attached Figure No. 2 gives the experimental results, the thermal conduegivity of the multi-layer shell varies from 6.0 Btu /hr x ft x F to 1k.5 as the temperature drop through the vall increased. This curve illustrates several points.

1.

The thermal conductivity of the multi-layer shell is approx 1-mately the same as the thermal conductivity of multi-stacked dises. The comparison is for pickled steel.

e

.k-

2.

Since multi-layer nhella etre renufactured wit h conciderable precompression, there it hich cohtact } reocure between lay.

ers of the manufactured chell. The initial thermal cchduc.

tivity of multi-layer starts at 6.0 versus 4.0 for multi-ctacked discs at zero contact pressure choving the effect of this precompression.

When the resistance to heat conduction between layers of the above mentioned multi layer shell is uced to calculate an air gap between layers with an equivalent resistance, the calculated air gap is very small and averades.00008 in. The average gap vas eniculated from the measured initial value of thermal conductivity (8.0 Btu /hr x ft x F).

The Franklin Inctitute in conjunction with A. O. Smith has made nn analytical study of the multi-Inyer dec1gn for precoure and thermal stressen found in nueient reactor veccelo, in setting up equationc for multi-layer, it was necessary to take into consideration pre-comprescion during manufacture, internal operating preocure and the terperature distr $bution in the vall. The temperature distribution is affected by the amount and type of internal heat generation and the thermal conductivity of the vall. These equations have been programmed on the A. O. Smith IlW 704 computer to acive multi-layer vall problems for steady state conditions, j

Vherever possible, the theoretical assumptions for the analyses are realistic or on the conservative side. The value of thermal condue-tivity for multi-layer used in these equations is the lover line on Figure No.1 for the "as received" material even though pickled steel is used for layer conctruction. The amount of precompression used in the equations can be varied but a conservative ve,1ue called " Cylinder A" precompression is generally used.

" Cylinder A" precompression represents values of precompression determined by actual strain gage measurements on the inner shell by A. O. Smith during the shell layer vrapping process on multi-layer shells. These values of precompres-sion can be built into a completed multi-layer shell by close control during the vrapping process.

Two multi-layer reactor vessels, SPERT III and IUTF (non-nuclear) previously ranufactured by A. O. Smith have been in operation since early 1960.

A. O. Smith has conducted a cooldown test on the lifTF simulating the temperature gradient in the shell similar to that which will be expected in a reactor application. The experimental data from IITTF 1r presently being analyzed by A. O. Smith. This data vill serve as a positive check on the accuracy of the analytical

' methods employed by A. O. Smith in the design of the Saxton vessel.

Similar tests on the SPERT III vessel vill also serve as a check on analytical methods employed by A. O. Smith. Details of the design, operating conditions, and test results expected on both IUTF and SPERT III are given in APPENDIX II - III!Tf0RY OF MULTI-IAYER CONSTRUC.

Therefore, there is a safety factor of 3 4 at steady state on the analysis used for the multi-layer design at 26 Ma (thermal). The allovable cooling rate vill be set to permit an appreciable safety factor even during trancient, conditions.

C.

Deviation From the ASME Cnde The techniquec employed in mult1-1syer construction impose two specific deviations on the rules and requiremente of either Section I or Section VIII of the ASME Code These are the inability to interpret radiographs of the elrth seam velds, and eitmination of final stress relief of the finished vessel. Since the definitive radiographic examinstion of girt h seam velds for Sect ion I or Section vin Code approval is not possible because of the influence of the reun between layers in a multi-layer shell, A. O. Smjth is currently developing an ultranonic technique. Thic developmer.t is currently in progress on t he N'fV mult). layer vessel being msinufac-tured for Westinghouse Det t ic.

In case the ultrasonic inspection technique for girth seam welde does not prove satisfactory, radio-graphic examination is pocalbie using a betatron.

Alt hough A. O.

Smith does not have a betat ron at this time, use of the Allis Chalmers betatron has been arranged for the Saxton vessel if required. The ultrasonic technique for inspecting the nozzle to multi-layer shell velde has been previously perfect ed by A. O. Smith, and has been found to be more accurate than radio-graphy.

The final stress relief of all precsure velds required in Section I and Section VIII of the ASME Code, is purposely eliminated in multi-layer construction. This stress relief would tend to remove the desiratle precompressive stresses built into the shell layers, with

(

7 A

the resulting loss of interface pressure between layers which reducen the overall thermal conductivity of the chell. The elimination of final utrenn relief on the mult1~1tAyer shell to forging velds doec not, however, compromise the narety of multi-layer construction. Ac the veld paccec are applied in the veld groove, each layer plate is able to expand longitudinally, re-sulting in a veld which 10 free of built-in stressec. Strecc relief, therefore, is not required.

All componente in the Saxton vescel, including the multi-layer chell have been designed for site and thickness in strict adherence to Section I of the ASME Code nacuming no credit for the pre-stressed condition. All componente in the Saxton vessel except the multi-layer chell vill also be manufnetured and inspected in accordance with Section I of the Code.

D.

Penncylvania "Special" Approval of the Saxton Vessel The description of the Saxton vencel, includinc design calcu-1htions has been transmitted to the Pennsylvania Bureau of Inspection, Department of Labor and Industry by A. O. Smith Lorporation for approval for operation in the State of Pennsylvania.

State approval in the form of a "special" prescure vessel flk69 han since been issued for the Saxton vessel after a detailed review of proposed fabrication and inspection proceduren. The design of the Saxton vessel has also been reviewed and approved by the Saxton Safety Committee.

This committee has responcibility for review of all Saxton systems and components with respect to overall plant safety.

SUMMARY

A comprehensive review of the engineering analysis, fabrication methods and quality control techniques used by A. O. Smith Corp.

in the manufacture of multi-layer vessels provides adequate assurance that this type of conctruction is both safe and reliable for the Saxton application. The following listing summarizes the conclusions on the safety of multi-layer construction for Saxton.

1.

The use of thin plateo in the manufacture of the ru2 ti+1ayer shelle insures metallurgical soundness and improv4 1mpact properties of the shell material an compared to tuja platen for the same application.

2.

An independent analysis by Wectinghouse APD of the streccec due to gamma heating and internal preenure in the Saxton mult.1-layer reactor vessel indleatea safe operation at both 28 Mw and k0 Mw operation. This analysis given in WCAP-1$06 " Investigation of Service Stresses in Multi-Layer Nuclear Reactor Vessels", pre-sents results which compare favorably with the original analysis c;nducted by Franklin Inctitute in conjunction with the A. O. Smith Corporation.

3 The determination of the heat transfer through multi-layer shello, used both by A. O. Smith Corporation and Westinghouse APD in the stress analysis of the Saxton vessel are based upon reliable laboratory experiments conducted by the A. O. Smith Corporation.

4.

All deviations from the ASME Code required in the manufacture of multi-layer vessels are substituted by equally reliable alternate techniques and procedures to assure that the safety, integrity, and quality control are preserved in the final product.

A complete listing of the manufacturing procedures and non-destructive testing techniques to be employed on the Saxton vessel are given in APPENDIX I - APPLICATION OF MULTI-LAYER CONSTRUCTION TO THE SAXTON REACTOR VESSEL.

Malti-layer vessels for commercial, non-nuclear applications have been used safely in high pressure service for many years. A list-ing of typical currently operating multi-layer vessels in the same temperature and pressure range as Saxton is givcn in APPENDIX II -

HISTORY OF WLTI-LAYER CONSTRUCTION.

l 6.

The detailed design and fabrication techniques proposed for the Saxton reactor vessel has been approved by the Bureau of Inspection of the Department of Labor and Industry, State of Pennsylvania.

This approval was confirmed by the issuance of a "Speelal" Penn-sylvania pressure vessel number to be stamped on the completed Oaxton vessel. The vessel design has also received the approval of the Saxton Safety Committee.

ArfENDIX II HISTORY OF MULTI-LAYFH CONSTRUCTION A.

Current Commercial Non-Fu: lear Applications The use of multi-layer shells for pressure vessels es.ra ahjut through A. O. Smith's efforts to find a safer and more economic construction that vould be particularly effective where thick valls were invo]ved.

The early development work van carried out in 1930 and a patent vac granted Mr. R. Stresau, the inventor, in 1933 Many patenu have been granted since that time and some are still in effect.

In the same year, a thick walled multj-layer vessel was built for testing to destruction--the first of many full scale vessels built and tested to destruction in the most comprehencive and thorough research progra:n of its kind ever undertaken. As well ac deriving a vast amount of design information from these tests and ver ifica-tion in act'ial operation, multi-layer vessels draw heavily on the accumulated knowledge of materials and methods of fabrication gained by the A. O. Smith CorporatJon from building come 8,000 multi-layer petroleum and chemical vessels up to 35,000 psi design pressure of every variety and description.

The following listing ic typical cf the non-nuclear multi-layer vessels manufactured by A. O. C'nith Corporation which are currently in service.

The demands for multi-laye vescels in recent years have teer.

very great and the des 1 n flexibility of layer construction has 6

lent itself ade.irably to the solution of specific vessel designs for many purposes. The designs of such vessels has met the re-quirements of safety in accordance with regulations of Federal and State Laws, U.S. Armed Services, Lloyds Register of Shipping (Board of Trade Requirements) and other vorld-wide regulatory bodies.

B.

Current Nuclear Applications To date, the following multi-layer vecsels for nuclear applica-tions have been cupplied by the A. O. Smith Corporation:

1.

High Temperature Ter. Facility (H.T.T.F. )

5festinghouse-Bettic Pi t_t c burgh, Pennnylvang The H.T.T.F. Reactor is designed for operation at 650 psi and SOOOF, with no gamma heating.

It has been in operation since November 1)S9 The vescel is 82 in. 1.D. With a con-siderable number of shell openings in the vessel vall. Using multi-layer construction, the valls are 21/2 in. thick, made up of seven 1/4 in, thick layers with a 3/4 in, thick inner shell. Layer material is A. O. Smith VM5 W1350 Speelal crade A, heving an allovable stress of 18,750 pai at Soc F, and the o

inne 6 hell is clad with 1/8 in, thick, Type 304, stainless steel.

The top hemispherical head is 2 1/2 in, thick, ASTM A-212 B FBQ material clad with 1/8 in, minimum thick, Type 308 L, stainless steel deposited by the automatic submerged " Twin-Are" method. The bottom ellipsoidal head is also 21/2 in.

thick of the same material and cladding.

The design specificatlog calls for 2000 cooling cyclec, each cycle from 472 F to 200 F in two hours (136 F/hr) which is a moderately severe cooling rate. However, with the strain gage readings, it may be safe to exceed this cool-down rate, thereby improving the veasel periormance and increasing the rande of strain gage information.

2.

Special Power Excursion Reactor Test (SPERT III)

National Reactor Testing Station l

Phillips Petroleum Company, Idaho The SPERT III Reactor is a pressurized water reactor desi ned 6

for2500psiat700Fmataltemperature,vitg)expectedgamma 0

heating of.56 vatts/cm3 (54,100 Btu /hr x ft

. This vessel has been in operation since late 1958.

Using multi-layer construction, the vessel I.D. is L8 in, and f

shell thickness is 31/4 in (eleven 1/4 in, thick layers) with a 1/2 in. shell clad with 1/8 in. thick, Type 304 ELC i 1

stainless steel. The shell material ic A. O. Smith VMS 1146 having an allovable strena of 22,600 psi at the de-sign temperature. The bottom head is a layer head, the same thickness as the shell but using A. O. Smith VMS W1350 Special Grade A material, which has an allevable stress of 17,800 psi at the design temperature. The top hemispherical head is forged steel per A. O. Smith VMS 5002 mod., 3 -1/2 in. thick, clad with type 309 CB stain-less steel veld deposit.

Various tests vill be performed on this reactor to deter-mine its nuclear stabil$ ty and performance--for example, one test is a " cold water accident" test during which a sudden flow of 4000F vater will be introduced in the reactor while it is cperating at 6000F.

In addition to the high thermal shock stresses induced into the reactor vessel and its components by such an experiment, there vill be a major surge in pressure due to increaced nuclear acti-vity.

3 Core Component Test Vensel (C.C.T.V.)

9 Westinghouse-Bettis Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Core Component Test Vessel is designed for 2560 psi at 650 F and is used to investigate feasibility of varioue core component designs under actual conditions of prescure, tempera-ture and flov.

The vessel vill not be used as a reactor vescel and vill not be sub 'ected to nuclear radiation. It le at pre-sent being f abrie -

Using multi-live

'ar, Atruction, the vessel I.D. is 47 in, and r

the shell thiu;est. la 4 1/8 in. (thirteen 1/4 in, thick layers) with a 7/b in. inner shell clad with 0.109 in. mininum thickness, type 304, stainless steel. The shell material in A. O. Smith VMS 11350 Special Grade A material, having an allowable stress of 18,750 psi at 650 F.

The bottom hemis-0 pherical head is ASTM A-212 B FBQ material clad with 1/8 in, minimum thick, Type 308 L stainless steel deposited by the automatic submerged " Twin-Are" method.

Tne removable top head has a bolted closure with a 15 in. I.D.

vessel mounted on the main vessel head. The 15 in. I.D. top vessel has a quick-openir.g closure with a control rod align-ment mechanism.

The design specification calls for the vessel to withstand as a minimum requirement, a heat-up rate of 3 3 F/ min from 700F to 550 F and a cool-down rate of 3 0 F/ min from 550 F to 70 F vith a corresponding pressure cycle during these transients from O psiB to 2000 psig.

Puel Element Tent Au t.oc l uve Westinghouse-bettin -

P l t.tnburgh, pera:nyl v %1 h This is a small multi-layer autoclave designed for ?,000 lain at 700 F,16 in. I.D. vith a shell thickness of 2 in. (.o x 1/4 in, thick layers) and a 1/2 in. inner shell clad with 1/8 in. nominal, Type 304 stainless steel. The uhell naterini is A. O. Smith VMS 11350 Special crude A, which hv an n1!ow-0 able stress of 17,600 psi at 700 F.

The top and bottom heads are both flat. The top nead is (1 in, thick, ASIM A-212 B FBQ material with 1/8 in. mininum thi ch, type 309, stainless steel veld deposit. The botty head le 9 1/k in. thick, ASTM A-105 Grade 2 mod. material with 1/b in.

minimum thick, type 309 stainless steel veld deposit. Thin vessel has been in operation since the spring of 1959 Reactors 2, 3, and h have State of Pennsylvania "Special" design approval and are stamped necordingly.

Expected Puture Application 1.

Commercial Application Unprecedented extensicn of the frontiers of chemical engineer-ing processing is calling for equipment to resist h16her prec-suree and higher temperatures of operation.

A. O. Smith haa fabricated vessels for pressures up to 22,500 psi for the process industries and is at present designin6 and will fabri-cate multi-layer vessels for 3$,000 psi on an order recently received. Commercial multi-layer vessels have been fabricut ed -

up to 120 in, in diameter and 14 in, vall thickness.

With continued research and development of high ctrength nteeln, these pressures and dimensions can be exceeded to meet induntry increasing demands.

2.

pelear Application the current and partit larly the future application of multi-layer to nuclear reactor vessels is for high pressure and/or large diameter vessels. The extension of the present boiling water reactor technology to the supercritical temperature region vill call fqr ten foot diameter vesseln designed for 5000 poig pressure and elevated temperatures. Thin is a renaible design using multi-layer.

Economical power frem nuclear sources appears to be poonible for large power plants. If there.is sufficient demand for large reactors, it would be feasible to shop fabricate large diameter multi-layer vessels up to 12 ft. in diameter and

{

larger vessels h the range of 16 ft to 18 ft. diameter by a combination of shop and field assembly to overcome shipping limitations.

I INTRODUCI' ION This report summarizes technical infomation on the Saxton Reactor Vescel re-quested by personnel of the Reactor Hazania Evaluation Branch of the AEC for their use in preparing a fomal reconsnendation to the Advisory Committee on Beactor Safeguanis on the use of multi-layer construction for the Saxton appli-cation. The information presented specifically covero the questions raised by Meecro. N. Grossman, E. C. Miller and E. G. Case of the AEC based upon their review of Westinghouse AFD report WCAP-1391 " Multi-Imyer Conctruction rer the Saxton Beactor Vessel," (Reference 1) previously submitted to AEC.

We ansvers to the various questions by the AEC have been catagorized under four main headings, namely, Multi-layer Ilistory, quality Control, Service Stresses, and Operating Limitations. We feel that the information to answer the specific questions raised by the AEC are included under each of these four main heading.

he data presented in this report represents a,)oint effort by the A. O. Smith Corporation and Westinghouse Atomic Power Deyartment.

. 1 D

II MULTI-IAYER IIISTORY Over the past 30 years, A. O. Smith Corpo n tion has designed and manufactured approximately 8000 multi-layer petroleum and chemical vessels of every variety and description with de.eign pressures up to 35,000 psi. Many of these vessels which have been in service for many years are similar to the Saxton vessel in design and are operating under similar conditions of temperature and pressure, but differ only from the standpoint of the gamma heating tsfrect which is not present.

Appendix A is a listing of multi-layer vencelo manufactured by A. O.

Smith and currently in service.

This listing includes the operating conditions and diameter of each vessel and the number, size and proximity of location of the nozzle penetrations for each. Note the similarity between these veccels and the Saxton vessel, expecially with respect to nozzle design and proximity of location.

This listing then indicates that the decign and location of the nozzles on the Saxton vessel does not represent a departure from decigno applied to other multi-hyer vessels which have operated safely over many years.

,III QUALITY CONTROL ON THE SAXTON VESSEL A.

Surr.ary of Inspections Appendix B of this m port is a complete and comprehensive listing of the manufacturing procedures which require a non-destructive test or inspec-tion to assure the quality of workmanship and material in the Saxton vessel. Also included rare references to the procedures employed and the acceptance standards for each test or inspection which have been agreed upon by both A. O. Smith Corporation and Westinghouse Atomic Power Depart-ment. Of special interest are the ultraconic 'inopectionc of the nozzle attachment velds ard the circumferential velde joining the bottom head and bolting flange to the multi-layer shell, cince these procedures reprocent a deviation from the radiography requirements of the ASME code. Paragraphc III-B and III-C (below) discuss the-procedures and acceptance standards for the special ultrasonic inspaction of girth volds and nozzle velds in greater detail.

B.

Ultrasonic Inspection n==*ral Since the definitive radiographic examination of nozzle and girth seam velds for Section I or Section VIII ASME Code approval is not possible becauce of the interfennee of seams between layers in a multi-layer shell, A.- O.

Smith has developed an ultraconic incpection technique which Westinghouse concidere cc reliable ao radiography for detection of cignificant imperfec-tions in velds. The ultrasonic testing method for both nozzle attachment and girth velds on the Saxton vessel is covered by A. O. Smith's Non Destructive Testing Pmcedum MV-80016-UT-3, dated 7-15-60 (Reference 5).

This procedure outlinen the testing technique and alco definec the applicable acceptance standards agmed upon by A. O. Smith and Westinghouse APD.

The acceptance standanis agreed upon are based upon those defined by ASME Code (1959),Section VIII, Par. W -51 (m). Specifically, veldc which are found to have any of the following types of imperfections chall'be judged unacceptable:

1.

Any-type of crack or zone of incomplete fusion or penetration.

2.

Any elongated slag inclusion which has a length greater than 3/4 inch.

3 Any group of slag incuulunu in line that have a aggagate length greater than T in a length of 12T, except when the distance between the successive imperfections exceeds 6L where.L is the length of the longest imperfection-in the group.

The ultrasonic test is not considend as precise as radiography for detec-tion of porosity. This condition m sults from the fact that the general cpherical shape of individual porea causes scattering of ultrasonic waves.- o

l l

t The larger size imperfections vill be detected as discrete indications while closely spaced imperfections win cause attenuation of back reflee-tions. The agreement between A. O. Smith and Westinghouse APD on acceptance standards for porosity in as follows. A veld win be considered unacceptable if it contains porosity exceeding the following limits:

An individual pore size larger than that shown in the ASME Code (1959)

Section VIII, Appendix IV, in the porosity chart marked "large", for plates over 2-1/2 in. thick, and a pore distribution spaced more clocely than that chown in the ASME Code (1959) Section VUI, Appendix IV, in the porocity chart marked " Fine", for plates over 2-1/2 in thick.

C.

Ultrasonic Incpection of Nozzle Weldc During the week of August 15, 1960, the results of the firct incpection of all fcur nozzle attachment velds were reviewed. jointly by A. O. Smith and Westinghouse representatives.

Included among the Westinghouse reprecentatives was an ultrasonics specialist from the Materials Engineering Department.

The standard reference indicationo for these nozzle attachment veldc were reprecented by 1/4 in. diameter flat bottom holes drined into the outcide diameter of each nozzle immediately above the veld. The ultrasonic response from each of the holes van thus recorded on each Brush trace as a zvference for comparison with all indications picked up. With the aid of magnetic particle probing, it was proved that good correlation between those indications and actual dercetc was obtained. This correlation applied to imperfectionc both larger and smaller than permitted by the at:ceptance standards. On this basic, it van concluded that A. O. Smith has developed a natisfactory ultrasonic test procedure-for the nozzle velds.

D.

Ultrasonic Incpection of Girth Geam Weldc The cirth veld inspection vill be cimilar to the already cuccessful nozzlc weld incpection. Two flat bottom holco,1/4 -inch in diameter and 1 inch deep, will be drined radially into each circumferential ceam of the Saxton vessel. -The ultrasonic responce from the side of each of these holec~ vill thus be reconied on each -Brush trace, as a reference for comparison with an indications picked up.

All test holes used as reference indications in both the nozzle and girth veldo vill be repaired by velding and incpected by both magnetic particle and ultraconic techniques.

E.

Tightness and Contact Between Multi-Layer Wraps In the manufacture of multi-layer shells, the tightness and contact betweer.

layer platen becomes significant from the standpoint-of themal conductivity -

of the shell and the themal strences which may be developed due to a temp-erature gradient in the shell.- This fact la especially significant in the manufacture of the Saxton vessel multi-layer shell because of the gamma

, %w I

l

t heating which vill occur. The results of an analysis of the Saxton vessel for both pressure and thermal stress conditions as-reported in Reference 1, indicated that the operating stresses are vell within code limits. The thermal conductivity values of the Saxton vessel multi-layer shell for this analysis was chocen based upon laboratory testo on multi-layer chells manufactured and inspected to standard A. O. Smith specificationc. The inspection of the Saxton vessel multi-layer shell for Inyer contact and tightness likewise conforms to A. O. Smith's layer Tightness Inopection Procedure for Multi-layer Construction, MV-80016-LT-1 (Reference 6).

This procedure defines the inspection method and the standardo of accept-anee sgreed upon by both A. O. Smith and Westinghouse APD. The inspection technique for checking layer tightnecc and contact concicts of a method in which each layer wrap in methodically tapped with a suitable. tool af'ter the vrap is applied and welded. Any loose areac between layer vraps represents a distinct change in the ringing cound produced by the tapping procedure. The effectiveness of thin tapping technique van demonctrated by A. O. Smith to Westinghouse engineering and inspection preconnel on the incpection of the Saxton vessel shell. This inspection procedure also requires a " feeler" gauge measurement of any gaps which can be found between layer wraps as measured at both ends of the shell after each vrap is applied. The standards of acceptance agreed upon are the same as those previously established by A. O. Smith for commercial, non-nuclear vessels. Specifically, loose amas or gaps between layer wrapa which exceed the following limite shall be judged unacceptable:-

1.

A loose area greater than 12 in, circumferentially and/or 24 in.

longitudinally. In the event of more than one loose area circum-femntially in any 24 in. length, the total of.such-areas chall not exceed the ama prescribed by the limit specified above.

2.

A maximum single radial gap betve.en any two layers ac measured at the ends of the shell courses exceeding.020 in. or an area of such a gap

. measuced at right angles to the vessel axis in excess of.120 sq. in.

In ortier to justify the use of this comercial acceptance standard for vrap tightness to a nuclear vessel, A.-O. Smith _has performed an analysis to determine the effect of the permissible loose area on the thermal' stresses in the Saxton vessel shell under the conditions of gama heating at full power operation. This analysis was perfomed using the general equations for strescen in multi-layer shells previously developed by A. O. Smith in conjunction with Franklin Institute, as described in Refennee 1.

The resulto of this analysis indicates that if a loose area of 288 sq. in. as aH oved by-A. O. Smith Procedure MV-80016-LT-1 existed between the inner barnl and the first layer wrap of the Saxton vessel, the resulting tempera-ture gradient and themal streso in the multi-layer shell vill be well within safe limito. At 40 Mr (thermal) operation the temperature gradient at the loose area in the natlti-layer shell between the inner barrel and the.first layer wrap win be approximately h0*F resulting in a thermal ctreso under 5000 psi. The same loose ama between-the outermost layers would yield a temperature gradient of less than 5*F.

IV SERVICE STRESSES IN THE SAXTON VESSEL 1

The problems accociated with the preocure and thermal atmunen in the multi-layer shell of the Saxton veccel under full power steady-state operation are covered in Beference 1.

This par tion of the report covero the stressen in the multi-layer shell resulting from trancient operation including the cyclic ctmsses and the effects of streca raisers introduced by nozzle penetrations and weep holes.

A.

Cyclic Strences The effect of cyclic ctrecoco on the Saxton vencel have been analyzed with respect to all expected cyclic loading conditions and found to be well vithin safe limits. This analysis van conducted by A. O. Smith baced upon j

the expected cyclic loadings including those reculting from trancienta-introduced by plant start-up, shut-down, load changen and certain credible accidento, ac supplied by Westinghouse AFD and listed in Figure 1.

The j

calculations on the cyclic stresses in the Saxton vessel vere perfomed in accordance with United Statec Dept. of Commerce report " Tentative Structural Decian Bucia for Reactor Prescure Veccela and Directly Accociated Components", December 1, 1958.

(Refe mnce 8).

The inherent ability of multi-layer construction to safely withstand the effects of cyclic loading has also been demonctrated in actual operating experience and chop testing of multi-layer vencela. An example is a multi-layer accumulator vessel built by A. O. Smith for the Aluminum Company of Am2rica in 1941. This veccel is 32 in, incide diameter and van designed for 4500 psi operating preocure. The mul_ti-layer shell vac manufactured from VMS-W-135 Special Grade ~ A layer plate, the.same material an used in the Saxton vessel shell, and the shell vac designed using a safety factor-of five on the ultimate strength of the material. There are no penetrations in the multi-layer chell. While in the service of the customer the vessel.

was subject to approximately 4-1/2 million pressure cycles from 4100 to 4500 psi. This vessel vac returned to the Milwaukee plant-of A. O.-Smith-after approximately 12 years of customer cervice-for further cyclic testing.

The shop test on this vecsel van conducted by cycling thel' sel through-a pressure range of 4000 poi to 5500 pot which exceeded the design pressure by 22 percent.

Fatigue testing equipment produced 16 cycles / min. and 20,000 cycles were obtained per day. After 2,368,530 tect cycles vere-completed, water was~ noticed at one of the veep holes indicating a leakage in the inner shell. The leakage rate at 4000 poi was small. It_vas decided to continue-preasum cycling the vecoel._ A-periodic incpection_vas-maintained on the leakage rate through two veep holes located adjacent to one of the circle veld; seams. After 5,002,500 test cycles, some ten months after the leak was detected, the fatigue test vac concluded with no appreci-able increase in the leakage rate over that period of time.

Next, an attempt was made to burst tlP vessel. The burst test was not successful because the leakage through the weep holes at 13,500 psi was too great for the capacity of the pumps.

The test acetcu3ator was returned to the shop and one head was cut off to permit access to the interior of the vessel. Weld repairs were made to the inner shell.

The shell end and head were scarfed and re-velded.

Another hydrostatic test was conducted on the vessel at 9000 psi for a duration of one hour without any 3eakage.

Pressure was then increased gradually, and at a pressure reading of 15,500 pai there again was leakage at the weep holes. It was not possible to burst the vessel because the leakage exceeded the capacity of the pump.

This test demonstrated several important features of the multi-Jayer construction. The failure of the inner shell (as indicated by the leakage at the veep holes) did not propogate through the multiple layers of steel after some 2-1/2 million additional pressure cycles.

leakage through the weep holes can be a safety feature indicating when the inner shell has failed. This should be especially important for atomic reactors where radiation damage can occur in the steel.

B.

Thermal Stresses at the Main Nozzlen The thermal stress effect in the Saxton multi-layer shell at the main coolant nozzles was analyzed by A. O. Smith and found to be insignificant. This analysis was based upon the use of the general equations for stresses in multi-layer vessels, described in Reference 1, and a gama heating value of 350 Btu /hr/cu. ft. as calculated by Westinghouse AFD at the inner surface of the multi-layer shell, adjacent to the main coolant nozzles for 28 W (thermal) operation. The calculated temperature rise due to camma heating at the nozzles is less than 1!F for 28 W operation, and causes a negli ible 6

thermal stress.

l C.

Stress Raiser Effect of Weep Holes i

l In the history of the manufacture of multi-layer vessels by_ the A. O. Smith Corpuration there never has been a failure of a vessel due to a defect originating.at a veep hole. This is true both for the tests to destruction which have been conducted-by A. O. Smith and operational experience on vessels in service.

l Tables of allovable stresses for vessel materials were originally established for the purpose of comparison vith stresses calculated on the assumption of-perfectly homogeneoue materials of construction, free of. internal imperfec-t-

tions such as slag inclusions. The deviations fzom calculated stresses due to small internal imperfections which actually exist in practice are commonly ignored. The stresses around the small veep holes in the Saxton vessel vould -

seem to be of the same type end order of magnitude as those which would result at any local imperfection, and could therefore be ignored for the same reason, namely that they would be relieved by local yielding in a ductile material.

We vould also call attention to the fact that multi-layer construction has the inherent advantage that local yielding propagation in the radial direction ic effectively prevented by thc layer interfaces.

The effect of the weep holes ac ctress raisers hac been analyzed for both static atal the most ceven dynamic loading conditions which v113 be imposed on the Saxton veceel. The resulto of thic analycic indicated that the vecp ho3ec have a negligible cffect on the acryice stresceu in the veccel.

The otatic streca raiser reculting fmm the 5/16 in. Veep holec in approximately 2.63 (Heference 31). This streou raicer recultc in a maximum tencile streca in the veccel which wouhl be 51,300 poi except for the fact that the metal vill yle3d at the actual yelld point of the material ( hl,250 poi).

Although thic value ic above the yield point of the chell plate material, local yielding at the hole vill relieve the strecces in the plate material to a cafe value.

Ao explained above, a ductile member loaded with a cteady ctress dnec not cuffer loss of strength due to the pmcence of a notch or hole, becauce of the ability of the material to yield at the localized ares of higher strecc.

The effect of the weep hoje an a streca raiser under cyclic 'oading vac analyzed for the three most ccvere conditions of dynamic loading to which the vencelc will be cubjected. Thece loading conditionc could result fmm three plant operating conditions, namely, a 10 percent loco of load during normal operation, normal startup, and an accident condition resulting in a complete 10c0 of coolant. The fatigue ctreco concentration factor recu3 ting from the S/16 in. veep holes in approximately 2 55 (Reference 9).

Comparicon of the Str"ngth of Equivalent. Multi-Inyer and Colid Scetionc A basic advantage in multi-layer vercuc solid vall construction recults from the fact that many layers of thin plate have a cuperior tenci.le ctrength ac compared to a colid plate of equivalent material and thickness. Thic condi-tien 10 due to the size effect, in that t hinner materialo have inherent),y cuperior physical properties.

An analogy to thic condition in the une of a cable rather than equivalent diamet.cr bar of the came material for tencile loadc. Gimilarly, the creater utrength of a cable is due to the curerior physical properties of the many cmall wirec uced in its manufacture.

The curerior ctrendth of many layern of thi n plate ao compared to colid plate of the came material and thickneco have been demonctrated by A. O. Smith in tencile tects. A typical tect of thin type vac conducted on a tencile cpecimen of A. O. Smith 1146 material. Thic cpecimen vac made up of 4-1/2 in, thick forcing butt velded to a atack or platec, the firnt 1/2 In. thick, and sixteen plates 1/4 in, thick each. An expected, the fracture occurred in the forced material at an ultimate tencile strength of 80,300 poi. The thinner layer platec have an ultimate tencile strength of 105,000 poi.

Decause of the inherent ductility and close velding control employed in multi-layer construction, the el.imination of stress relief dnes not limit the reliability or compromise the safety of this type of construction in pressure vessels. In the velding of multi-layer cheD.s to solid vall forgings and plates, any residual stresses in the veld metal and heat affected zone are greatly minimized through lateral movement of the individual layer plates during velding.

In addition mechanical peening has proved to be effective in contnalling distortion in these velds. Also, the use of lov hydrogen velding electrodes enhances the ductility of the ac depocited veld metal.

Further, the veld beads in a multi-layer section joining a coild vall section are multi-pacc, and each cuccessive ve.1d layer progrecc-ively grain refines and heat treate the preceding layers and heat affectc.d zones.

Macro-hardneco surveys conducted by A. O. Smith on non-ctreou relieved cample sections of multi-layer plate to colid forgirica weldo indicate that neither the veld metal nor the heat affected zones are execccively hartrned above the rance which would nomally be expected for carbon cteelc.

INTRODUCTION I

This report summarizes technical information on the Saxton Reactor Veccel re-quested by personnel of the Beacter liazards Ehruluation Branch of the AEC for their use in preparing a fomal recommendation to the Advisory Com:nittee on Beactor Safeguards on the use of multi-layer construction for the Saxton appli-cation. The information presented specifically covers the questions raised by Messrs. N. Grossman, E. C. Miller and E. G. Case of the AEC based upon their

  • view of Westinghouse APD report WCAP-1391 " Multi-layer Conctruction For the Saxton Beactor Vessel," (Reference 1) previously submitted to AEC.

The ansvers to the various questions by the AEC have been catagorized under four main headings namely, Multi-layer llistory, Quality Control, Service Stresses, and Operating Limitations. We feel that the information to answer the specific quections raised by the AEC are included under each of these four main heading.

The data presented in this report represents a. joint effort by the A. O. Smith Corporation and Westinghouse Atomic Power Department.

In 1937, two multi-layer vessels were tested to destrue"on to establich information on the effect of stress relieving temperatu.~a. upon multi-layer construction. Each vessel was built of 12 layers, 1/L 2n. thick vrapped around a 1/2 in. inner shell giving a total vall thicknece of 3-1/2 in.

The vessels were 19 in. I.D. and approximately 7 ft. long. The vesce3s were built of layers which came from identical sheets of steel, split in two at A. O. Smith co that one-half of each sheet was uced on one ver cl, and the other half on the other vessel in identical positions. The princi-pal difference was that the vessel decicnated "A" vac not stress relieved w h reas vessel "B" vas stress relieved at 1250*F. The stress relieving temIerature in vessel "B" was held for 3-1/2 hourc; then cooled at the rate of 80*F per hour. The average phycical propertlec of the steel in the two vessels, determined by test coupons cut from each plate were as shown in tue table below. The test coupons for vencel "B" were given the same r.trenc relief ac the vessel.

In 1953, the A. O. Smith Corporation built two high pre.ccure chemical 4

reaction vencelo for the Demet Golvay Corporation, a divicion of Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation, located near Ibffalo, New York. The reactorn were built of multi-1Ayer construction with a standarv3 Bridgman clonure at the top head. The vencel van 36 in, incide diameter,10 9/16 vall thicknocu, designed for 7500 poi with VMS-W135, Special Grade A layern. The vennel van decigned with a factor of cafety of four (4) on the ultimate strength of the material.

Five small nozzleo penetrated the multi-layer vall; the openincu in the vall were 1-3/4 in. In diameter.

and luteralon pumps chararieristirs.

1he result s of FLASil, core cooling inventory, presa,ure quality, llow var.,

through the core, etc., are used for a detailed analysis of the core thermal transient.

CORE l' owl:R TRANSil:NT DURING 11LOWlHlWN The basic tool used for the reactor kinetics calculation is t he till C-K1' Code, which has a point kinetics model and a single channel fuel and ecos.wt de8cription.

in this study the channel was divided axially into five sections, with density in each section a function of pressure and enti. ale.,

plus nucleate boiling void. A nucleate boiling model for highly subcooled conditions was used, even though a large part of the coolant is saturated i

throughout the transient. This was done to minimize apparent void for-mation in order to retard reactor shutdown and yield a conservatively high energy input.

Average core pressure was input as a function of time from the FLASil output.

For small breaks with forward flow, the cure inlet flow as shown by the FLASli code calculations was used as input to CHIC-KIN.

lor large cold leg breaks, with violent flow reversal and then near-stagnation, the core pressure drop as indicated by FLASH was assumed to be a reasonable representation of the forcing action between the two large liquid regioni:.

of the system. This pressure drop was used as input to CHIC-KIN, which calculated flow-response taking into account inertia and losses at inlet and outlet and from grids and friction in the fuel.

The resulting flow transients were very close to those obtained by FLASH.

Each axial fuel rod section was divided into nine radial regions for the heat transfer calculation.

Fuel properties are constant in the code, and best estimate fuel thermal properties were used to determine the core

average fuel heat transfer respont.e and the resulting void formation.

Since hot channels have greater than average void fraction, even if DNh occurs in them, neglecting the effect of the hot channels reduces the total apparent void and thus yields a conservatively high energy input.

Trip would be actuated by overpower for the cases with a significantly positive nx3derator coefficient or by low pressurizer pressure with a zero or negative coefficients.

For the small break cases, depressurization after the initial subcooled blowdown is slow, and thus shutdown or voids is also slow. Trip is required in these cases, and-in ClllC-KIN this u.s simulated by a ramp insertion of negative reactivity.

For the large break trip would be similarly actuated, but because void formation is adequate for shutdown, trip was not simulat ed in these studies.

Doppler reactivity feedback was simulated as a function of the average fuel temperature, with a weighting factor of 1.4 used as a lower limit for the initially unrodded core.

Six groups of delayed neutrons were used. A conservative maximum of 0.0072 was used for the delay iraction to slow down power decay.

CORE THERMAL ANALYSIS The LOCTA-R2 tran:.icnt digital computer program was developed for evaluating fuel pellet and cladding temperatures during a loss of coolant accident, it determines the extent of the Zircaloy-steam reaction and the magnitude of the resulting energy release in Zircaloy clad cores.

The transient heat condition equation is solved by means of~ finite dif-ferences, considering only heat ilow in the radial direction.

A lumped parameter method is used - the fuel containing three nodes and the cladding one node, k

Internal heat generation can be specified as a function of time, or the decay heat from any initial power level can he calculated by the code.

The decay heat is based on the heat generated from:

a)

Fission Products, o)

Capture Projucts, and c)

Delayed Neutrons It is assumed that the core has been irradiated for an infinite period of time.

In addition to decay heat, the code calculates the heat generated due to the Zircaloy-steam reaction. -The Zr-Il O reaction is governed by the 2

parabolic rate low unless there is an insufficient supply of steam availabic, then a " steam limited" evaluation is made. 1he buildup of the Zircaloy-oxide film is calculated as a function of Iime, and its effect on heat transfer is considered.

An isothermal clad melt is con-sidered haaed on the heat of fusion of Zircaloy.

Once the Zircaloy metal 1

melts, it is retained by the Zirc-oxide, and slumps against the fuel.

The Zirculoy-steam reaction may continue until the oxide melts.

If the oxide melts the remaining Zircaloy is assumed to fall, and 10% of this metal is assumed to react with additional water which is available in the vessel.

The code has been developed to stack axial sections and thereby describe the behavior of a full length region aa a function of time. A mass and energy balaace is used in evaluating the temperature rise in the steam as it flows through the core.

The initial conditions of the fuel rod are specified as a function of power.

The following core conditions are also introduced as a-function of time; as determined by the FLASit Code:

Tio analyti<al model is restrleted to the containment volume and utructure.

Transient phenon na within the reactor coolant system affeel containment condit ton by nivans of convertLee mass and energy transport through the pipe break.

l'or analytical rigor and convenience, the containment air-steam-water mixture is separated into two systems.

The first nystem (onsists of the air-steam phase, while the second is the water phase.

Suffictent relation-ships to describe the transient are provided by the equations of conser-vation of mass and energy as applied to each system, together with appro-priate boundary conditions.

As thermodynamic equations of state and con-d1Llons may vary during the transient, the equations have been derived for all pohsthic cases of superheated or saturated steam, and subcooled 1

or naturated water.

Switching between states is handled automatically by the code. The following are the major nsuumptions made in the analysis:

t

1) Discharge mass and energy flow rates through the reactor coolant system break are established from the coolant blowdown and core thermal transient analysis (described in the preceding paragraph,).

1 l

l

11) At the break point, the discharge flow separates into st eam and water phases. The saturated water phase is at the total contain-ment pressure, while the steam phase is at the partial pressure of the steam in the containment.

iii) Homogeneous mixing is assumed. The steam-air mixture and the water phase have uniform properties.

More specifically, thermal l

equilibrium between the air and steam is assumed. This does not l

l Imply thermal equilibrium between the steam-air mixture and the water phase.

Provision is nade in the containment pressure trannient analysis for heat transfer through, and heat storage in, both interior and exterior walls.

hvery wall is divided into a large nutnber of nndes.

For each node, a

conservatton of energy equation expressed in finite difference form accounts for transient conduction into and out of the node as well as temperature rine of the node.

The film heat t ransfer coef ficients between the cont ain-ment contents and a wall surf ace may be specified either as a f unction of time or ternperature dif f erence.

For this study, tent valves obtained by Kolflate were used to set inner surface film coefficients for condensing steam.

Initial values of 620 and 240 Btu /hr-ft

  • F were assumed for ron-densation on steel and concrete, respectively, as recommended in the propo%cd AS A Sect t on N-6. 7, Pr oponeri Des inn and Pressure Decay Reclut ternent *;.

The coefficientw were then linearly decreased with time to a value of 40 blu/hi-ft - F at the end of blowdown.

The latter value is typical of steady state heat transfer coefficients for steam condensing through a stagnant surface air layer where the ratio of air to steam is high.

The former values are reasonabic since the initial blowdown will produce large amounts of steam in the containment together with high turbulence.

Thus the ratio of air to steam will be low and a turbulent boundary layer will exist leading to a high film coefficient of heat transfer. The assumed reduction in film coefficient is conservative since, as predicted by Jacob and demonstrated by Uchida the film coef ficient will be a function of the ratio of air to steam in the containment which will not be reduced significantly until pressure reduction due to steam condensation occurs.

provision is s.ade in the computer analysis for the effects of several engineered saf eguardr>, including internal spray, f an coolen t.,

and recir-culation of sump wat er.

The heat removal frem containent ricam-nir phase by internal spray is determined by allowing the spray unter tem-perature to rise to the steaa-air teraporature. This procedure has been experimentally verified.

Finally, hot metal surfaces not cooled by safety injection water are s.imulated as hot walls in contact with the containment stearn-air mixture.

A smn11 film heat transfer coefficient is errployed to ref1cet actual condition since these eurf aces are covered by stagnant otcam inside the reactor j

coolant system.

During the brief period between completion of the initial blowdown and addition o.

safety injection water, the transfer of heat into the contain-ment vessel by convection from the reactor coolant system insulation and by the small residual steam flow is relatively ineffective.

Consequently, cost of the residual heat generation serves to raise the temperature of the core, internals structure, and the reactor vessel. As the Zircaloy cladding temperature in any portion of the core rises above the threshold at which a significant rate of reaction occurs (1800*F), additional energy is produced and stored inside the reactor vessel. Unless the steam evolution rate exceeds the maximum possibic zirconium consumption rate established by the parabolic rate law, all steam evolved is considered to contribute to the core stored heat by reacting with zirconium, and the energy addition to the containment during this portion of the transient is a result of the burning of the hydrogen generated by the zirconium-water reaction.

e The analysis is performed on the basis that the hydrogen generated within the reactor coolant system as a result of a metal-water reaction following a loss of coolant accident will burn as it discharges from the break into the containment atmosphere.

The reaction does not start until-the clad-temperature exceeds the threshold of 1800'F for zirconium, and the hydrogen will be formed at temperatures between 1800'F and 4800'F.

(

9 l

l

Studies conducted by the U. S. liuteau of Mines indicate that hydrogen can ignite without an cxternal energy source when its temperature is above well-defined limits.

1his spontaneous ignition temperature (SIT) of hydrogen varies with the break flow velocity and the steam content.

For low velocit.ics and high vapor content the SIT is conservatively taken as 1250'F.

Thus, in order to prevent spontaneous ignition, the hydrogen must be cooled from its formation ternperature by at least $$0*I' (1600'T minus 1250) and by an even more substantial amount considering the-higher formation ternperatures associated with any significant evolution of hydrogen.

The hydrogen exit temperature has been evaluated for two possibic cooling rnechanisms for a formation temperature of 1800'F.

1)

The first mechanism evaluated is the heat transferred to the reactor coolant system piping.

The temperature of hydrogen as it enters the containment atmosphere is computed assuming the following 1.

The rate of hydrogen evolution is based upon the steam limited reaction which is consistent with the assuttption of no core quenching and producco the maximum reaction with the cladding and the maximum quantity of evolved hydrogen.

2.

The amount of hydrogen produced is determined by assuming that all the steam formad by boiling of the water remaining in the reactor vessel below the core reacts with the cladding.

Hence no mixing of hydrogen with water vapor has been assumed to occur.

This mechanism produces the maximum quantity of hydrogen.

3.

Hydrogen flows directly from the core, through a 50-foot length of reactor coolant hot-leg pipe before reaching the atmosphere.

4.

A conservatively low value of 300*F is assumed for the pipe wall temperature.

5.

The physical properties of hydrogen are evaluated at 1800'F.

i 10 l

I

~

6.

1he heat transfer coefficient is calculated using the Dittur.-

lioc1ter relationship.

Applying these conservative assumptions the hydrogen it, found to be cooled to 1335'r before discharge.

This temperature is 80'r above the most conservative value of the SIT and 365'r above the expected SIT.

liigher forn.ation temperatures produced on the reaction proceeds without core quenching would result in even higher exit temperatures and spontaneous combustion.

11)

The second cooling mechanism investigated is the effect of mixing with a flow of cooler steam which might by-pass the metal-water reaction.

In this case less hydrogen would be produced.

Assuming again that the hydrogen is formed at 1800*F and that steam is present at 300'r saturation conditions, it is found that a steam bypass flow of 36% will only reduce the hydrogen temperature to 1200'F (a value comparable to the conservative value of the SIT). Volume fractions of steam higher than 36% bypassing the point of reaction i

would limit the reaction rate due to dilution and cooling.

The hydrogen-oxygen reaction is the on)) significant source of energy reaching the containment from the zirconium-water reaction between the time that blowdown is complete and safety injection starts.

If My zirconium-water reaction occurs before cooling by safety injection becomes effective, only a fraction of the total zirconium available for reaction will be consumed, because the safety injection system is acutated in a very short time and the core temperature rise does not progress to a great extent. The energy released from this reaction does not ente' the containment concurrently with the blowdown energy, since cladd.;g temperature does not increase during blowdown.

An influx of safety-injection water is necessary to liberate the stored heat and safety injection cooling does not begin until after blowdown is complete.
