1.1 INTRODUCTION

This Appendix provides a description and safety analysis of an optional primary lid closure system for the model CNS 8-1208 package. The present lid closure systen, consisting of 20 - 2 inch diamete'r bolts, is described and evaluated in the CNSI SAR Revision 2, dated March 1984.

(Reference 1) The optional lid closure system replaces the bolts with 12, ratchet binders. The ratchet binder design l

results in improved operational efficiency with a consequential reduction in personnel exposure consistent with the intent of the CNSI ALARA policy. The optional closure system also results in nodifications to the bolting ring and upper impact limi ter. Details of these changes are described in detail in this Appendix.

Analyses were performed in those areas affected by this option and results are presented as a comparison to acceptable results which were previously reported in the March 1984 SAR.

1.2 PACKAGE DESCRIPTION The features of the 8-120B package are as described in Section 1.2.1 of Reference 1, with the exception of the three itens summarized below.

The ratchet binder design provides for twelve upper lugs which are welded to the primary lid and twelve lower lugs which are welded to the cask body. The details of the actual ratchet binder are shown on CNS Drawing 24504-1 sheet 1.

The upper flange ring is increased in thickness from 2-1/2" to and a stronger material is selected. The previous bolt ring was A516, gr 70 (Sy = 38,000 psi and Su = 70,000 psi). The material selected for the new flange ring is Note that this thicker and stronger flange ring (or bolt ring) is also acceptable for use in the bolted closure option.

That is, the flange ring can be used in both closure options, however the 2-1/2" ring can only be used on a cask which employs the bolted closure.

The upper impact limiter for the ratchet binder design has twelve cut out regions to provide clearance for the ratchet binders. This reduction in impact limiter volume is compensated for by extending the length of both impact limiters an additional inches along the cask side wall.

2.0 STRUCTURAL EVALUATION 2.1 INTRODUCTIO_N, This section provides a discussion of the design and analysis associated with the ratchet binder closure system for the 8-1208 package.

Analysis previously presented in reference 1 have demonstrated the adequacy of the 8-120B package design using a bolted closure. The structural consequences of the ratchet binder design have been evaluated, and areas which are affected have been re-analyzed using the same methodology as that previously used.

It has been determined that the only areas affected by this change are the hypothetical 30 foot drops. The new design is such that the stresses imposed on the cask are within the limits of the design criteria established in Reference 1.

2.2 HYPOTHETICAL ACCIDENTS - 30 FOOT DROPS 2.2.1 ANALYSIS METHOD Analyses have been performed to demonstrate the acceptability of the l

ratchet binder closure option. The analysis consists of an impact limiter evaluation to determine the loadings on the cask. These limiting loadings are then compared to those loadings that were previously found to be acceptable in Reference 1.

This analysis also determines the limiting crush depth of the limiter to verify the acceptability of the design.

The behavior of the impact limiter and its loading on the 8-120B cask is evaluated using the computer program CASKDROP. The basic technique used in this program is described with the following steps:

1.

Inpose an incremental deformation, or crush distance, on the impact l imi ter.

2.

Based on the deformed geometry, calculate the strains throughout the impact limiter.

3.

Based on the stress - strain curve for the foam and a one dimensional model for the foam, calculate the stresses in the impact l imi ter.

4 Calculate the total force in the impact limiter.

5.

Calculate the energy absorbed.

m

=

\\

.)

GX o

6.

Repeat the process until all the energy is absorbed.

A2-1

9 O

For each drop orientation the CASKDROP program is used in a conservative nanner to bound the behavior of the impact limiter and the loads it imposes on the cask. To bound the uncertainties of the stress - strain curve, effectively both the stiffer and the softer stress - strain curves are used, see Figure A.2-1.

In addition to bounding the stress - strain behavior of the foam, bounding assumptions are used for the possible stress distribution, or the effectiveness of the regions of the impact l imi ter.

To produce the upper bound of the loads on the cask, the stiffer stress -

strain curve is used and all backed and unbacked regions of the impact limiter are considered effective.

Figure A.2-2 illustrates the backed and unbacked regions of the impact limiter considered for each of the three drop orientations. To produce the upper bound on the maximum deformations of the limiter, the softer stress - strain curve is used and only the backed regions, or regions that project vertically up to the cask body, are considered.

The actual G load imposed on the cask and ccush deformations are expected to be between the values predicted by these bounding analyses. A CNSI drop test (Ref. 2) on the CNSI 1 - 13 C II, which is a cask with a similar impact limiter geometry, demonstrated that the unbacked regions are partially effective in absorbing energy. The analytical method used in this evaluation does not model the effect of minor geometry changes or include the effect of the stainless steel canning. However, this method does conservatively predict the bounding behavior of the impact limiter.

At twelve locations around the sides of the cask, small regions of the impact limiter's foam have been removed to accomodate the addition of the ratchet binders and lugs.

However, this region is not completely void and is occupied by the ratchet binder. The CASKDROP code does not explicitly model this localized geometry. The effects of this detail are discussed in the following sections.

2.2.2 END DROP The ratchet binder detail will have no effect on the bounding predictions of the CASKDROP code. The results are as follows:

Case G's Crush Distance Unbacked case, Soft Foam 62 7.4 in i

Backed case, Hard Foam 168 3.13 in The amount of foam removed from the lid region to accomodate the ratchet binder lid lug is negligible compared to the total volume available.

Therefore, the results for the unbacked case will not change with the new geometry. The bounding fully backed case with the harder foam is still the upper bound for the maximum load applied to the cask, and thus, the previous analysis of the cask for the end drop is still valid.

A2-2

?

2.2.3 CORNER DROP The length of each impact limiter along the side of the cask is increased l

inches. The bounding analysis with the CASKDROP code for the new geometry results in the following results:

G load Crush i

-Case Distance Unbacked, Soft Foam 51.8 17.3 60.8 15.4 Backed, Hard Foam The bounding deformations are shown in Figure A.2-3.

The actual deformation is between these values. This deformation is not close to the ratchet binder, and' therefore, the ratchet binder will not significantly alter the results. The limiting G load predicted for this case is less than 1% greater than that previously determined for the bolted closure design. Therefore, the previous stress evaluation of the cask body for the corner drop remains valid everywhere except in the immediate vicinity of the ratchet binder attachment points. A stress evaluation for the ratchet binders and the cask shell in the vicinity of the ratchet binder attachment points for the corner drop is provided in Section 2.2.5.

2.2.4 SIDE DROP The addition of ratchet binders has the greatest effect on the side drop analysis. The CASKDROP code for the previous design predicted the following bounding results:

Case G's Crush Distance Unbacked Soft Foam 92 9.4 in Backed, Hard Foam 108 5.7 in The maximum crush distance based only on the backed regions and the softer foam may be at the edge of the ratchet binder. Even though this is a conservative estimate of the crush distance, the length of each impact limiter along the side of the cask has been increased inches to l

decrease the bounding maximum deformation of the impact limiter. The CASKDF.0P results for the new geometry are as follows:

Case G's Crush Distance Unbacked, Soft Foam 90.7

.8.8 in Backed, Hard Foam 112.7 5.6 in A2-3

?

The maximum deformation is between tha 8.8 and 5.6 inch values. This crush distance, assuming the drop position of the cask is such that a ratchet binder location corresponding to the direct point of drop contact, is at least inches from the edge of the ratchet binder and may be as far as inches from the edge of the ratchet binder.

If it is assumed that during the crushing of the foam, the foam in the vicinity of the ratchet binder moves into the region of the void, then

.the volume or the effective thickness of the impact limiter is reduced.

This assumption can be simulated with the CASKDROP code by using an equivalent outside diameter of the impact limiter, corresponding to the total volume of the impact limiter, excluding the void volume.

The volume of the foam removed is:

inches W

=

598, cubic inches.

V (each Void)

=

=

7182 cu inches.

12 x 598 Y (total)

=

=

This volume is the total void space and it conservatively neglects the volume of steel added by the ratchet binders. The volume of each impact limiter, neglecting the portion that projects beyond the end of the cask is:

w 2

V=

T (Do2 - Di ) L Do = 102 Di = 73.2 L = 21.

V = 83,221 cubic inches.

The volume of the equivalent impact limiter is 76,039 cubic inches.

The equivalent diameter, Deq, of this impact limiter is:

Deq =

(4)(76,039) + (73.2)

= 99.8 in

'tr' 2l This outer diameter is assumed on both the upper and lower impact limiters, and the behavior is predicted with the CASKDROP code. The results for an unbacked, soft foam case (used to predict the bounding deformation) are 99.4 G's and 8.6 inches of crush displacement.

Since the G loads have not charined significantly and the maximum displacement is only 8.6 inches, the impact limiter does not bottom out.

Since the length of the impact limiter along the side of the cask has been increased, the bounding G - load applied to the cask increases slightly. The new load (Backed case, hard foam) is 112 G's compared to the 108 G's of the previous evaluation. The stresses in the cask due to the higher load can be obtained by a ratio method. The limiting factor of safety for the side drop in the bolted closure design was 1.08 (Reference 1, page 2-127). The revised limiting factor of safety is 1.00 (108/112) or 1.04 Therefore the results of the side drop analysis are acceptable.

1 2.2.5 EVALUATION OF RATCHET BINDER ASSEMBLY 2.2.5.1 RATCHET BINDER LOADS The ratchet binders experience the largest load during the 30 foot drop of the cask onto a flat unyielding surface. The design of the ratchet binder assembly is such that the ratchet binders carry only the axial tensile loads. The compressive loads and the shear loads arising due to the drop conditions are transferred directly between the primary lid and the cask body.

Therefore, tne largest loads in the ratchet binders occur due to the corner drop condition. These loads are evaluated 17 a conservative manner as indicated in the following paragraphs.

The inertial loads arising due to the 30-feet corner drop condition are in equilibrium with the impact limiter reaction at every instant of time during the drop. Figure A.2-4 shows the path the loading follows internally to achieve the equilibriun.

To evaluate the loads in the ratchet binders, the ratchet binders and the lid are isolated from the rest of the cask and a free-body diagram is constructed as shown in Figure A.2-5.

The in-plane loads shown in the figure do not contribute towards the loading in the ratchet binders. The out-of-plane inertia loads tend to open the lid about point 0 whereas the ratchet binder loads and the impact limiter reaction tend to close it down.

The largest loads in the ratchet binders are obtained by assuming that the ratchet binders by themselves resist the entire opening moment.

Assume that the lid combination (primary and secondary lids) is perfectly rigid (reasonable because of the 61/2" thickness of each lid) then the lid will have the tendency to pry open about point 0 and the load distribution in the ratchet binders will be linear in the projected diametric plane. This distribution is shown on Figure A.2-6 and can be mathematically represented as:

O 2.2.5.2 Ratchet Binder Stress The ratchet binders of the 8-120B cask are designed to provide the closure of the cask without failure during the normal and hypothetical accident conditions. The largest load in the ratchet binders occur during the hypothetical corner drop accident conditi on. This load is estimated to be 127,000 lbs (see Section

2. 2. 5.1 ).

An evaluation of the ratchet binder assembly is performed to ensure that the stresses in the entire assembly renains within the allowable values.

A summary of the minimum factor of safety for each component of the ratchet binder assembly under the design load is presented in Table A.2-1.

The details of the evaluation are presented in the following paragraphs.

Figure A.2-7 shows the detail of a ratchet binder assembly used in the 8-120B cask. The assembly is comprised of the following components:

(1 ) Ratchet Binder Bolt (2) Ratchet Binder Lugs (3) Ratchet Binder Pins (4) Ratchet Binder Lid Lug (5) Ratchet Binder Body Lug The material properties and the allowable stress values for each component is given in Table A.2-2.

(1) Ratchet Binder Bolt The ratchet binder bolt is fabricated from a dia shaft (Item No. 74 on detail drawing). The threaded portion of the bolt has a nominal diameter with thread specification of 8 UN. Under the axial loading, the two modes of failure of the bolt are identified as the shear-cut of the thread and axial tension of the root. The largest stresses in the bolt under these modes are calculated in the following paragraphs:

(2) Ratchet Binder Lugs The ratchet binder assembly is comprised of four lugs, two on each side, which are used to connect the assembly with the cask via diameter tight fitting pins. These lugs are made of material and have the dimensions as indicated on the sketch.

Under the design loading, the three modes of failure of the lugs are indentified as (1) local compression due to pin contact, (2) Primary tension of the net area and (3) tear-out shear.

Each of these failure modes are addressed in the following sections.

2.2.5.3 SHELL STRESS EVALUATION The ratchet binder loads during the hypothetical accident condition are transferred to the cask body through the cask boc(y l u gs. Because of the small size of the lugs, stresses are concentrated near them.

A conservative approach used by the piping industry (Reference 4) has been employed to evaluate the stresses in the cask body due to the ratchet binder load transfer. These stresses are added to the stresses in the cask body due to cask and payload inertias computed in Section 2.2.5.1.

Conservatively the largest stress intensities in the cask body are added to the stress intensity due to ratchet binder load to analyze the cask shell.
