SUMMARY

OF MEETING HELD ON MARCH 24, 1997, TO DISCUSS THE PERRY EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEM (ECCS) SUCTION-STRAINER PROGRAM l l

On March 24, 1997, NRC staff members met at Rockville, Maryland, with representatives of The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company to discuss its ECCS suction-strainer program for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. A  !

list of attendees is included as Enclosure 1. I The proposed strainer design would have an area of slightly less than 5,000 square feet with a resultant low approach velocity. The hole area would be 32 ,

percent of the total area. The total weight of the strainer is approximately l 210,000 lbs. The strainer would be constructed of 88 modules with each module  !

having over 100 welds. Welds will be visually inspected and, on a sampling i basis, checked by liquid penetrant examination. 1 The strainer design has some horizontal restraints, but is freestanding in the ,

vertical direction. The acoustic methodology used to determine loads on the  ;

strainer was described by a consultant to the licensee.

The licensee stated that they had performed a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation of the acoustic methodology, l and found the methodology acceptable for this application. The NRC staff stated that they would think about the acoustic methodology application some more, and if they had significant concerns, the staff would inform the licensee of them. j Copies of view-graphs used at the meeting are included as Enclosure 2.

SUPPRESSION POOL LOAD

SUMMARY

SUBMERGED STRUCTURES l

Evaluation l Loads Seismic Inertia Contributes to the design contmlling load.

I Seismic t

Seismic Sloshing Contributes to the design controlling load.

Not design controlling since the strainer is open and the net effect of the Hydrostatic Pressure hydrostatic pressure is negligible.

Water Jet Load Not design controlling since the loads induced outside a sphere circumscribed SRV Actuation around the quencher arms is small.

Air Bubble Load Contributes to the design controlling load.

Vent Clearing Water Jet The water jet reaches the strainers, and this contributes to the design controlling Load load.

Pool Swell Drag Load Not design controlling since the strainers are floor mounted and only extend three feet above the pool floor. Since the LOCA bubble forms at the top vents, the pool swell phenomenon does not cause water to flow upward past the strainers.

Fallback Not a design controlling load.

Condensation Oscillation Not a design controlling load. ,

Loads Chugging Not a design controlling load.

Contributes to the design controlling load.

LOCA Bubble Pressure Load Compressive Wave Not design controlling - significantly smaller than loads caused by the waterjet for structures close to drywell, and insignificant for structures near containment.
