1.0 INTRODUCTION
I A review and evaluation was undertaken of the safety related structures and structural components of the I
Connecticut Yankee Plant, Haddam Neck, CT. This review was required by NRC SEP Topic III-7.B,
" Design Codes, Design Criteria and Load Combinations-Haddam Neck", (TER-C257-319), prepared by Franklin Research Center (FRC),
(Ref.1).
I The Seismic Category I structures listed in Section 8 of Ref.
1, in which it was noted that the Turbine Building and the Radwaste Building were not classified as Seirmic Category I.
Seismic Category I structures as follows:
I containment Primary auxiliary building (including pipe gallery)
New and spent fuel building Control room and switchgear room in service building Diesel generator building Service water intake (screenwell house) and pump house Discharge structure.
The SEP effort compared the actual criteria used in the design of the plant and the then current (circa 1982)
I structural design criteria for the Seismic Category I structures at the time of the SEP. The objective was to determine the margins of safety to ultimate strength and the extent to which the design would meet the then existing criteria.

I Report No. 9203-01 Revision 0 1.1 LOAD COMDINATIONS The purpose of this report is to document the results of a program of limited structural reevaluation of existing I
structures at Connecticut Yankee to resolve load and load combination issues raised by the NRC in their evaluation of SEP Topic III-7.B. The safety objective of this SEP I
topic is to assess the capability of all Seismic Category I structures to withstand all design loads and load combinations that may be imposed on the structures to a degree sufficient to assure that the plant can be safely-shut down. Current NRC requirements on loads and load combinations are defined in applicable sections of Standard Review Plan 3.8. These requirements were not in I
effect when Connecticut Yankeo was constructed and licensed.
I According to SEP III-7.B a comparison of loads indicates several loads which are not part of the original design which could have an effect upon the margin of safety and were ranked A, (Ref. 1) where A, is defined as requiring I
an assessment of the potential magnitude of the effect upon margins of safety:

1.2 CODE CHANGES As part of this effort, the NRC conducted a comparative review of design codes in effect at the time of design of I
Connecticut Yankee with then current design codes.
The code changes were ranked according to their potential to alter perceived margins of safety. A total of 20 code changes were identified as -having the potential for I
impairing margins of safety. The NRC recommended that the impact of these code changes on plant structures be assessed. NUSCO committed to perform a limited I
reevaluation of structures for those code changes. The results of this structural reevaluation are described in this report.

2.0 BACKGROUND
The Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) was initiated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to review the I
design of older operating nuclear power plants and to reconfirm and document their safety. The review compares the as-built design with current review criteria in I
different areas defined as " topics".
Topic III-7.B,
" Design Codes, Design Criteria and Load Combir.ations", is charged with the comparison of structural design criteria in ef fect in the late 1950's to the late 1960's (when SEP I
plants were constructed) with those in effect during the SEP, Other SEP topics also address other aspects of the integrity of plant structures. All these structurally I
oriented
- tasks, taken
- together, will assess the structural adequacy of the SEP plants with regard to current requirements.
The NRC has completed its review of submittals from Northeast Utilities in response to the use of a
probablistic approach to address Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) Topics III-2 and III-4.A, Wind and Tornado Loadings and Tornado Missiles (TAC No. 51938). This was documented in a USNRC letter dated Oct. 21,1992 from Mr.
I Alan hang to Mr. John F.
Opeka (ref.9). An outline of modifications that would significantly reduce the tornado wind and missile hazard at the Haddam Neck site was I
provided to the USNRC in Reference 11. As a followup to the tornado wind and missile analysis CYAPCO now intends to implement significant modifications to its auxiliary feedwater system. An outline of these modifications was I
provided to the USNRC in Reference 12. CYAPCO is now updating the probablistic analysis to reflect these modifications and to develop a recommendation for the I
USNRC to resolve SEP Topics III-2 and III-4.A, wind and tornado loadings and tornado missiles.
The NRC considers SEP Topic III-6, Seismic Design I
Considerations to be closed. This was documented in a USNRC letter dated July 24, 1991 from Mr. Alan Wang to Mr. Edward J. Mroczka (Ref.10).

2.1 LOAD COMBINATIONS In their SEP review of Topic III-7.B for Connecticut Yankee, the NRC retained Franklin Research Center (FRC) to conduct a comparison of load combinations used in the I
design of that plant with current criteria. For each structure, up to 14 load combinations were considered based on the appropriate SRP 3.8 criteria. These load I
combination requirements were not all in effect when Connecticut Yankee was designed. Consequently, other sets of load combinations were used. In comparing actual and I
current criteria, FRC attempted to match each of the load combinations actually considered to its nearest counterpart under present requirements. When deviations were found, FRC made c judgement (in the form of a scale I
ranking) on the potential impact of the deviation on perceived margins of safety. However, when the number of load combinations considered in the design was I
substantially fewer than curre?.'
2riteria require, only a
limited number of load cocinations were ranked (usually two).
I Selection of these cases were based on consideration that the most severe load combinations include accident and seismic or tornado loads. If demonstration of structural I
adequacy under the most severe load combinations currently specified for emergency and accident conditions is provided, a reasonable inference can be drawn that the structure is also adequate to sustain the less severe I
loadings associated with less severe consequences.
As a result of this study, FRC recommended that margins I
of safety of Seismic Category I structures under loads and load combinations corresponding to current criteria be reexamined. FRC identified the cases which they judged I
to have the potential to impair margins of safety (Scale A
or Scale Ax rating) as cases which should be reevaluated. Appendix A gives the list of structures and load combinations requiring reevaluation.
The load definitions used in this report are given in Appendix B.
The load combinations involve operating plus tornado load combinations and accident plus safe-shutdown earthquake I
combinations. The FRC did not recommend full reanalysis of all structures.
Hand calculations or appropriate modifications of existing results -were noted-as an I
acceptable means of demonstrating structural adequacy.

3.0 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
3.1 LOADS AND LOAD COMBINATIONS The major differences betwoon Connecticut Yankee and I
later codes and SRP, are concerned with tornado loads.
The conclusion was that the lateral wind pressure loads were less than-tha SSE lateral seismic loads; therefore, I
load paths required for scismic loads would be more than adequate. Tornado pressure drops would be resisted by the reinforced concrete walls. Under tornado wind loads on structural steal portions, it was assumed that siding and roofing will blow off. The frame with bracing will remain intact.
I Tornado driven missiles were the greatest problem.
Scabbing, (inside face concreto spalling), could not be prevented for walls, less than about 18" for the heavier I.
pipe missiles. However, most of these walls are actually 7
I I
I I
Report tio. 9203-01 Revision 0 I
shielded from missile strikes due to adjacent structures.
Using the tornado missile critoria for this plant (Ref.13),
it was concluded that all the reinforced concreto portions of the structures evaluated herein are adequate to resist tornado missiles.
The structural steel portions of buildings offer no I
tornado missile protection. The potential for tornado missile damages in structural stool portions is evaluated in SEp Topic III-2 and III-4a (Ref.11).

I Report No. 9203-01 Revision 0 3.2 CODE CHANGES AISC, 1963 vs. AISC, 1980 I
This comparison was concerned with the structural steel design of Category I structures.
Item #1. b/t ratios. In fact only Tee sections depths greater than I
6W were affected by this code change, none of which were found on the Connecticut Yankee drawings.
I Item #2. Axially tension members. The net effect of code changes is that AISC 1963 is actually more conservative.
I Item #3. Coped flanges. Several beams were picked at random and stress evaluations were made. In every case, the beam connections were well within the new requirements.
I Item #4. Welded beam to Column Connections. No connections heavy enough to be affected by this requirement were found.
I Item #5. Bracing of Members at locations of Plastic Hinges. This change would only affect moment resisting frames with members in double curvature, a
situation which does not exist in the Connecticut Yankee design.
ACI 318-63 vs. ACI 349-76 I
This comparison was concerned with the reinforced concrete structures.
I Item #6. Brackets and corbels. The new requirement essentially affects those with ratios of span to depth between 0.5 and 1.0. For ratios above 1.0, the bracket would actually be a cantilever beam which of course was covered by ACI 318-63.
For ratios less than 0.5, minimum steel requirements are specified.
A review of the drawings indicates that all bracP.ets and corbels I
are heavily reinforced and need not rely on any capacity of the concrete section.
Item #7. Tangential shear in walls. The changes in minimum steel I
were compared to that provided by the Connecticut Yankee design.
The Connecticut Yankee design provides the required amount - of horizontal and vertical steel. Calculations indicated the applied I
seismic tangential shear was well below the capacities of the reinforced concrete walls.

\\ I
I Report !!o. 9203-al Revision 0 Item #8. Shear-friction. 130 situations were found.
Item #9, Reinforced concreto shell structuros with walls 12" or larger, llo such structuras woro found in Connecticut Yankoa. The Containment Structuro is not part of ACI 349-76, soo itomo 14-20).
Item #10. Thermal of fects. According to llRC SEp III-78, (Rof.1),
for structures not subject to effacts of pipo break accident, I
thermal stresses are unlikely to bo significant. Thorofore only local and temporary temperature limits are important only in structures subject to pipo break, ACI 349-76 allows 650' F.
It is not expected that concreto surfaces can be subjected to this I
temperature but oven if they woro it is unlikely that failuro due to thermal stresson could occur because of the self relieving nature of local thermal stresses.
Item #11. Variations in column stresses from f. in compression to
- 0. 5 f, or loss in tension. This situation co'uld only occur in I
reinforced concreto moment resisting framos subject high lateral unismic loads.
The Connecticut Yankoo reinforced concreto structural systcms for resisting lateral loads is by means of choar walls. With relatively small lateral displacements, such_ stress I.
roversals cannot occur in the reinforced concroto columns.
Item #12. Stool Embodmonts. A :oview of the anchor bolts indicatos I
that the Connecticut Yankco details conform to ACI 349-85. A numerical chock of the anchorage of lateral bracing indicatos considerable conservatism in the Connecticut Yankoo detail when compared to ACI 349.
Item #13.
Impulso and Impact.
While some exterior walls are susceptible to acabbing for the full Spectrum I missilos, thoso I
walls tend te be chiolded by adjacent structuros. According to liRC critoria it can be concluded that the reinforced concreto portions are adequato.
ASME III, Div. 2 vs. ACI 318-63 Item #14. Tangential shear. For soismic loading combined with dead I
load the concrote section capacity exceeds the applied shear. Under accident internal pressure as well as soismic and dead loading, the linor carrios the tangontial shear. This is at varianco with ASME I
III, Div. 2. Ilowever, the linor strength capacity was later used in many subacquent applications at other plants. If avertholoss, the con ~ rote walla can resist the tangential shear without the contribution of the steel linor.

Report llo. 9203-01 Revision 0 I
Items #15 & #16. Peripheral & Torsional Shear. For the Containment Structure under internal pressure, concrete capacity becomes academic and the additional reinforcing bars and additional robars local to discontinuity accommodates these local shear loads.
I Item #17. Short term thermal loading. Under accident conditions the liner could see 260* F. This is well below the allowable of about I
360*
F. The concrete is somewhat protected by the 3/8" liner:
nevertheless, for this condition 650' F would be allowed, which is in excess of expected local short term temperature.
Item #18. Development length in biaxial tension. Containment bars tend to be continuous except for added reinforcing at openings. A review of the drawings indicato development length would be no problem.
Item #19. Drackets & Corbels. tione were found on the reinforced concrete drawings.
Item #20. Liner and liner components. There is general conformance with AS!4E III, Div.
2, with the exception of the fact that the Connecticut Yankee design calls for the liner to resist seismic tangential shear. An independent study for the 11RC-11RR concluded that the liner system would perform satisfactorily and conforms to As!4E III, Div. 2 with the exception of a slight increase in stud deformation.
The original design and subsequent modification and strengthening I
has been evaluated and judged that the plant meets the additional requirements proposed by SEP in the areas of loads and load combinations as well as code changes.

4.1 GENERAL LOAD CONDINATIONS I
A limited structural roovaluation of existing structures and comments at Connecticut Yankoo was performed to address the load and load combination issues raised by I
the NRC in their ovaluation of SEP Topic III-7.B.
In accordance with Franklin Rascarch Contor's (FRC) recommendation, load combinations assigned a Scale A or i
Scalo A, ranking in their study (Ref.1) were considered.
Structural rcovaluations to current
- loads, load combinations and acceptanco critoria woro performed on a sampling basis for the following structuros:
Subsequent to and in response to the NRC SEP review, URS/Blumo performed a
seismic review and published I
reports concerning their review and recommended structural modifications, " Seismic Roovaluations of Major Structures of the Connecticut Yankoo Atomic Power Plant",
1983, (Ref.2).
In response to NRC SEP Topic III-2, Wind and Tornado Loading, and Topic III-4.A, Tornado Missilos, (Ref.4), a I
tornado risk assessment was performed by Applied Roscarch Associates, Inc. in 1989, (Ref.5). This analysis is now being updated in order to evaluato anticipated on going

D + L + P, + T, + R, + E '
I The ovaluation of tornado missilos for the containment structuro has boon addressed in a separato document I
(Ref.13) and is not part of the scopo of this document.
In Ref.13, the NRC concluded that tornado missilos are not a concern for the containment structure.
From the above load combinations it is obvious that if the horizontal wind loading is less than the horizontal seismic loading, the containment structure is capable of I
resisting tornado wind loads. Calculations were mado comparing the baco shears, as follows:
Tornado Seismic Base Shear (kips) 2212 14918 The tornado wind pressure was based upon 315 mph; however, it is obvious that the containment structure is adequato for 360 mph (Ref.14).
The maximum pressure drop of 2 psi is trivial in that the design accident pressuro la about 20 timos this value.
The only two loads considered as A, are R. (Pipo reactions under accident conditions) and W, (tornado wind pressuro, tornado --created differential pressure, and tornado generated missiles).
The load R is in combination with P,, accident pressure, I
and E' (SSE). The load R, is caused by thermal growth. A review of the CB&I pipe penetration drawings indicates that pipe passes through a sleevo in the 4'-6" vall. The I
pipe is wolded to a fuel heat which is in turn volded to the ombedded alcovo. Those pipo reactions could not lead to failuro for throo reasons:
I 15 I
1 I
Report flo. 9203-01 Revision 0
- 1. The thormal load is self relieving;
- 2. The 4 '-6" heavily reinforced concreto wall has a high capability of accommodating those pipo I
reaction loads. The S&W concroto drawing indicatos extensivo additional reinforcing and U bars were used to resist lateral forces at all panotrations (DWG 16103-50086, FC-35G).
- 3. The offects of local loading damps out as the distance from the panotration increases.
I The pipo can introduce radial forces, bonding moments about the horizontal and vertical axos, and torsion I
moments about the radial axis. Such loading is limited by the clastic strength of the pipe itself.
I A calculation was mado concerning the 42 inch diamator ponotration located on the containment wall at EL.
25'-
9". The capacity of the reinforced concreto Wall to resist local forces and moments was restricted to only I
the additional diagonal bars. Local bending was resisted by using diagonals on the insido and outsido surfaces.
Shear forcos are resisted by the mid-dopth diagonals acting in shear friction.
Using reinforced concreto capacities as described above the following capacitics have boon calculated:
Type of capacity L9Atling Mannitude Radial 23700 kips Moment 41500 ft-kips Torque 27440 ft-kips i
The above capacities are used to datormino the thickness of main steam (conservatively assumed to 36 inch diameter) necessary to develop the plastic moments and forces to the levels of the reinforced concreto as follows:
Equivalent LgAd Thickness of Pipo i
Radial 6"
l Moment 8"
Torque 11" 16 I
m
I I
Report llo. 9203-01 Revision 0 I
The equivalent thickness is that which would be necosuary to yield the plastic moments and forcos which would exccod the local capacity of the chull.
I It is obvious that the capacity of the reinforced concreto exceeds the plastic piping loads by very wido margins. Thorofore, no local failuro can occur duo to I
penetration forces and moments. Since the offects are local and are resisted by additional diagonal reinf orcing bars, thoro will be no diminution of overall strength in resisting internal proscuros and poismic forces.
Thororcro, Load Combination #7 is less savoro than Load Combination #14 and Load Combination #14 is satisfied in I
that with the exception of R,,
Load combination #14 has boon previously satisfied, (Ref.3).
It was demonctrated the R, is a local load which cannot possibly result in local failure.
The containment structuro is supported by a 6"
bed of loan concreto on rock. The allowable bearing of the rock under normal loading ja 20 kaf. The normal bearing is about 10 kaf; so even with poismic loads the peak bearing stress will be under the normal allowable bearing. Under I
soismic loads the allowablo rock bearing could bo establiahod at much greator values then 20 ksf. 20 kof corresponds to 144 psi. This is a very low requiremont for loan concreto.

Demonstrate that the Loading Combination (7) is less I

I Report 110. 9203-01 Revision 0 Due to the relativo stiffnossos of the stool liner and the concreto shell, the stool linor, in general, goes along for the rido. According to UFSAR the linor can be rolled upon to carry tangential shear. In reality the actual shear will be carried partially by both structural I
systems, so that, the most cignificant point in that the seismic baco shear exceeds the tornado base shear.
I The stool linor is in reality not required to carry any primary loads. The containment reinforced concrete wall is 4'-6" thick and heavily reinforcod. This means that tornado missiles will not have any significant offect.
I Even though it la claimed that the stool is designed for tangontial shear (Ref.8),
in reality the rainforced concrete will actually carry the major portion of the I
tangential shear caused by E' and We Thorofore, the Load Combinations #7 and /14 are satistiod.

I Report fio. 9203-01 Revision 0 The penthouse housing the duct opening would survivo the iI ef f ects of wind pressure and pressure drop. However it is doubtful that the wall would not be penetrated by a tornado missile in combination with the pressure loads.
The penthouse housing the Volume Control Tank has very thick walls, at least 2 '-6". Thereforo, these walls would survive the pressure and missile effects of the tornado.
The reinforced concrete north wall, with thicknesses of I
l ' -6" a nd 2 ' -0", possesses sufficient strength to resist the tornado pressure and missile loads.
According to the 11RC staf f evaluation of the reinforced concrete walls up to El.
2)'-6" provide acceptable tornado missile protection (Ref.13). The flRC staff also found that the reinforced concreto portions of the PAB I
are adequate to withstand the design tornado loads, (Ref.14).
g The 12" walls at the duct opening above El. 35'-6" would g
be susceptible to the 12" pipe missile; but in reality these walle are surrounded by structural stool framing and interior partitions which would mean that in reality the normal strike of a tornado missile would be highly
(
unlikely just due to the sequence of events that would bo l
required.
lievertheless, for the 11RC required missiles Ref.13, the walls are adequato.
Inasmuch as the tornado wind pressure is much less the E' and the tornado missiles are not capable of causing failure it is clear that Load Combination #10 is satisfied. The Primary Auxiliary Building exterior wallr.
have shown capable of resisting tornado wind pressures and pressure differentials which woro based upon:
W + 0. 5W, For the Primary Auxiliary Building this is conservatively assumed to be about 345 psf. This exceeds an expected accident pressure f rom pipe break of about 0.75 psi which is equivalent to about 100 psf.

can logically bo inferred that Y, + Y, + Y, will not cause failure.
I The PAB is supported on rock. There is no doubt that rock has the capability to withstand the bearing proscuros from load combinations 10 and 13.
Thorofore, Load Combinations #10 and #13 are satisfied.
4.2.4 PRIMARY AUXILIARY DUILDING - (Steel) a) The top portion of the PAB consists of a single story I
stool superstructure starting from Elevation 35'-6" to 53'-6". The walls and the roof is of a stool framing with metal docking, b) The original design requirements for tornado loads are that the metal siding is designed to blow out and the framing would remain intact due to oversized connections.
c) Design was also performed on the superstructure to I
maintain structural integrity under seismic (SSE) requirements.
The loading combinations proposed by FRC to review its I
integrity are the following:
Loading Combination (8)
D + L + R, + W, Loading Combination (11)
D + L + T, + P, + R, + Yj + Y, + Y, In order to assoas the ability of the building to withstand the above loading combinations, the following critical olomonts shall be investigated.

Report No. 9203-01 Revision 0 a) A stool roof beam.
b) The stool framing including bracing.
c) For the roof slab, a beam (stool) shall bo selected for roovaluation to verify that those structural olomont capablo of withstanding loads due to ponding.
The voight on the member (pof) shall be based on the water weight equal to the parapot height of the structuro.
I A review of the drawings indicatos that thoro are 4" high curbs along the North and South edges of the roof 9 El 35'-6". Thora doesn't appear to be similar curbs I
along the East and West edges of the roof. The ponding is insignificant. This was confirmed by further review of drawings. If, in fact, 4" of water can stand on the roof, this will represent about 21 psf. The snow load excoods I
20 paf. Thorofore, this load is insignificant on two counts.
I Under tornado wind the Galbosto siding will blow off, leaving the exposed structural stool columns and beams.
The exposed structural stool framing is subjected to wind I
pressures after the siding has blown off. The projected area of the beams and columns is small, so even using a drag coofficient of 2.0, the latoral tornado wind chear is significantly less than the lateral seismic force.
I Even conservatively assuming a drag coefficient of 2.0 the lateral shears due to tornado wind are significantly loss than the soismic shears for which the structure has I
boon datormined to be capable _of; namely, 1424 ind.1733 kips in the north-south and east-west directions, respectively.
Under tornado winds, lift pressures will develop on the roof. A very light roof beam 14B26 was selected. Even assuming that roof does not blow off, the maximum beam stress will not yield stress.
I In the NRC staff ovaluation, two roof _ beams (14B22 and 12WF27) and a column W8x24 Wore considered to fail (Ref.14). llovever, the above was based upon the roofing and siding remaining intact. Wind loads cause uplift on I
flat roofs, in this caso stool dock roofing, the roof would be blown away beforo significant uplif t loads were imposed upon the structural steel beams.
It is; therefore, more realistic to assume that the siding and 22 I
I
a Report No. 9203-01 g

- away, thereby reducing wind I
pressure and differential pressures on the structural steel frame.

directions, respectively.
This comparos with tornado ahears of 475 kips and 354 kips in the north-south and east-west directions respectively. The south wall was chocked for the latoral wind pressures including the I
offects of the pronouro drop. This wall assuming one way action was found to be capable of resisting the wind pressure loads. The east and north walls are heavior and I
therefore have greator capability. The west wall as well the east wall can resist wind pressures-as two way as alaba; thereby, greatly increasing the~ capacity of the wall than would be the case with one way action.
The capability of the switchgoar structure to resist the overall tornado wind loading was confirmed by comparing I

cast and west walls are heavior and the west wall can act as a two way slab. Thoroforo, the control Room has the capability to resist tornado loading.
I According to the !!RC staff evaluation, the reinforced concreto control room is adoquately protected from tornado missiles (Ref.13).
The structural drawings of the Control Building do not indicato any parapets or curbs on the roof. The only curbs are located around the opening for the elevator I
shaft. The absence of curbs was datormined by reviewing the concreto drawings. The design roof livo load of 40 paf is equivalent to a depth of almost 8"

Thorofore, ponding has no offect.
Thoroforo, Load Combination #10 is satisfied sinco % is-a loss severo load than E. In Load Combination #13 T, is l

problem in resisting any internal accident pressure even though the possibility of such pressure is minimal. The capability of the walls and roof slab in withstanding I
tornado missilos means that any internal missiles resulting f rom small diamotor pipes would have negligible offects.
The reinforced concreto control Room has capability to resist wind pressures and pressure drop and it also has capability to resist internal prosauros, particularly in light of the openings prosent in the wall. P, and the impulsivo loads which are applicable to the structure (ref. SEP III-7.B).

In summary, Load combinations #10 and #13 are considered satisfied.

I The Diosol Conorator Building was an addition to the plant. The soismic analysis performed by S&W Engineering I
Corporation which conforms to Rog. Guido 1.60 (spectrum) and 1.61 (damping) normalized to 0.17g carthquake. The structure also designed for tornado wind of velocity 360 mph (W,). Thorot'oro, the now Diosol Generator Building _ is I
not rolovant to SEP Topic III-7.D. However, ponding of water on the roof slab was checked for loads due to the water height equal to the height of the parapot wall.
The roof with 6" high parapets, has a drainage system.
Assuming that the drainage piping becomes clogged, the I
averago woight of water would equal 47 puf. This slightly exceeds the live load (snow) of 40 psf. Even the total livo load of 40 psf is only 2% of the flexural capacity of the roof slab. Thoroforo, ponding is negligible.
4.2.8 SERVICE WATER INTAKE (Screenvell House and Pumphouse)
The intake structure consists of a two story concreto structure from Elevation-18'-0" to Elevation 218-6" and a one story structural stool frama from Elevation 218-6" to Elevation 35'-6".
Tho grado is at Elevation 21'-6".
The walls of the stool framed structure consist of insulated Galbesto siding on steel framing.
The concreto portion of the structure is below grado I
level on throa sides and one sido is exposed to the river. The wind pressure due to W, from that direction has little offect on the structure.

Since 318-63 had no provisions for shear-friction, the I

However, no cases of shear friction were found after a review of the Reinforced Concrete Drawings.

ITEM #10 ACI 349-76, Appendix A ACI 318-63: No requirement Structural elements affected:

I Report No. 9203-01 Revision 0 0" thick and are subsequently reinforced each way and each face.
These walls are subjected to hydrostatic pressure as well I
as thermal gradients. For hydrostatic pressures, bending moments at the corners result in tension on the outside face, while at mid width the bending moments result in compression on the outside face.
The thermal gradients tend to result in tension on the outside face.
Therefore, at the corners the thermal I
stresses would tend to reduce the bending stresses. At mid width the thermal stresses would tend to be additive.
However, thermal stresses are self relieving. Under I
ultimate loading, the stress in the reinforcing bars will be composed of the primary stress and a portion of the secondary stress. Excess secondary strain will result in very limited inclastic deformation.
Similarly, local hot spots due to pipe break, will potentially expand but be under restraint by adjacent I
cooler regions. This will result in the hot spot being in compression while the adjacent cooler concrete will be in tension. The stress relieving nature of thermal stresses will, therefore, inhibit any overstress. The limitation per ACI 349-76 for local short term temperature at the concrete surface is 650' F. There are known instances in which temperatures could reach this very high limit.
As stated by NRC: "For structures not subject to effects of pipe break accident, thermal stresses are unlikely to be significant.

However, lateral resistance for the reinforced concrete structures is provided by reinforced concrete shear walls.

bolts, strap anchors, etc, were examined. The details of the anchors were observed to be in conformance with Figures B.1-1 and B.1-2, ACI 349-76. In all cases of anchor bolts and straps, positive anchorage was obtained by means of hooks, washers, or bends. A specific anchor bolt embedment subject to very high load was examined; namely, Control Building (DWG-16103-51031, 51032, FS 14A I

Structural elements affected:
I All structural elements whose f ailure under impulsive and impactive loads must be precluded.
The most severe effects are those resulting from tornado generated missiles.
Scoping calculations were based upon a total wind speed I
of 315 mph. This corresponds to that proposed by NRC, which was 2 5 5 + 6 0 = 315 mph, (Ref.2). This is based upon the expected occurrence-intensity relationship at a probability of occurrence less than 10-7 as indicated in Fig. 6 and Table 5 Enclosure 2, (Fig.4-1).
various pipe missiles and 1"
diameter rods of SRP I
Spectrum I missiles were evaluated. The wood plank and the utility pole were found to have little effect upon reinforced concrete structures. The automobile was not I
reviewed because it cannot effect the reinforced concrete control room. The automobile is in general not a problem of perforation, but rather one of plastic deformation. So I
if a wall is not capable of preventing spalling of
- that, a
12" pipe missile it probably cannot resist the automobile missile.
I The PAB has in ei;fect two penthouses above El.
35'-6",
af ter the siding of the structural framing has been blown off. 10" walls are used around ducts.'It is estimated I
that spalling would occur with the larger pipe missiles.
On the other hand the walls surrounding the volume-control tank are very heavy; i.e., Three walls are 3'-1" and the fourth is 2'-6".
The roof slab is 2'-10".
I 42 I
I I
I I
Report No. 9203-01 Revision 0 I
The reinforced concrete walls of the PAB vary from 12" to 2 '-0". Most of the 12" valls are protected by surrounding structures, in essence leaving only the 18" and 2'-0" valls exposed. These walls would be sufficiently thick I
and reinforced to withstand the pipe missiles, although some spalling may occur.
I The Control Room is more than 30 ft. above grade and is therefore unaffected by utility pole or automobile missile. The roof and the north and east walls would be insignificant 1y af fected by missile. While the potential I
for some scabbing exists for the south and west walls. These walls are actually interior walls which greatly reduces a perpendicular strike of a tornado missile used in full velocity.
The above is based on perpendicular strikes, it was found that even small departures from perfectly normal greatly reduces the missile effects.
According to the NRC staff evaluation, required wall and I
slab thicknesses for f ',=3 000 psi are 23" and 18" respectively, for tornado winds of 360 mph, (Ref.13).
This was based upon two missiles; namely 1" diameter I
steel rod at 317 fps and a utility polo and 211 fps, which is appropriate for OL applications which were not required to be protected against the full tornado missile I
spectrum during CP stage (Ref.13). Calculations and test data indicate that no scabbing will occur on 12" thick walls, with 1" rods at a striking velocity of 435 fps.
Similarly, the utility pole causes only cracks on a 12" wall at a velocity of 205 fps, (Ref.15).
Therefore, it can be concluded that all reinforced concrete structures are protected against the tornado missiles as required by USNRC (Ref.13).

A calculation was made using the seismic base shear of approximately 15,000 kips. The maximum imposed tangential shear was calculated to be about 145 psi, according to ASME III, Div.2 CC-3421.5. This approximate calculation I
is consistent with values presented in UFSAR, p. 3.7.16, (Ref.8).
The tangential shear carried by concrete, v,

ITEM #16 ASME III, Div.2 CC-3421.7 ACI 318-63: No requirement Structural elements affected:
Regions subject to torsion.
The limitation on the concrete capacity to resist pure I
torsional stress is similar to peripheral shear; in that, it is dependent upon the tensile strength of concrete. Under I
seismic loading there is capacity in the concrete to resist torsional stresses.
- However, under accident pressures, the membrane meridional and hoop stresses I
would diminish the capability of the concrete in resisting torsional shear stresses to the point that the provision in ASME III, Div.2 would not be applicable.
Therefore the designers would have to resist torsion without reliance upon the concrete regardless of which code were used. Again the reinforced concrete walls would be capable of resisting local torsional shear stresses.
This was confirmed by a review of a large penetration in I
the containment wall as discussed previously.
