1. Procram

Description:

Experience at several B!!R plants with pressure suppression containments has shown that damage to wetwell internal structures can occur during safety / relief valve (SRV) bloudowns as a result of air clearing and steam quenching vibration phenomena. Upon relief valve actuation. the initial air column within the SRV discharge line is accelerated by the high pressure steam flow and expands as it is released into the pool as a high pressure air bubble. The high rate of air and steam injection flow in the pool followed by expansion and contraction of the bubble as it rises to the pool surface , produces pressure oscillations on the pool boundary. This effect is referred to as the air-clearing phenomenon. In addition to the boundary loads, the air injection and subsequent bubble motion produces pressure waves and water covement within the pool that produce drag loads on components 'n the pool .

0 l 2-Following the air-clearing phase, pure steam is injected into the pool. Condensation oscillations occur during this time period. However, the amolitudes of these vibrations are relatively small at low pool temperatures. Continued blowdown into the pool will increase the pool temperature until a threshold temperature is reached. At this point, steam condensation becomes unstable. Vibrations and forces can 4 - increase by a factor of 10 or more if the SRV continues to blow down.

                .This effect is referred to as the steam ' quenching vibration phenomenon.

Current practice for BWR oper: ting plants is to restrict the allowable operating tenperature envelope via technical specifications such that the threshold temperature is not reached. 1 In response to the concern on relief valve loads, letters were sent in 1975 to all licensees of operating SWR plants requesting that they report on the potential magnitude of relief valve loads, and on the structural capability of the suppression chamber and internal structures to tolerate such loads. In addition, consideration of these loads has become an integral part of our review of CP and OL plant applications for all BWR pressure suppression containments (i.e.,flark I, II and III). As a result of the gener,1c concerns, owner's groups were forned by both fiark I and II utilities. Through these groups, integrated generic analytical and experimental programs have been developed to address the subject of SRV loads. .

2. Plan for Problem Resolution:

A. Approach The staff will review and evaluate the results from the Mark I and II programs conducted by the owner's groups and related programs conducted by General Electric Co. (GE). The approach taken by the owner's groups consists of a number of comprehensive experimental and analytical programs to establish and justify the SRV-related pool dynamic loads for BWR Mark I and II designs. In addition, prototypical in-plant testing is proposed to confirm Mark III SRV loads. For both the a'ir-clearing-induced loads and the drag loads en submerged structures, the Mark I and II programs are based on the development of analytical models which will be confirmed with test data. A series of experimental programs are underway to provide this data case for model verification. Because of differences between the Mark I, II and III designs, the composite program which will be reviewed by the staff consists of both programs common to all BNR designs and programs unique to particular SRV discharge line configurations.

                                                      =

E l . With respect to drag loads on subnerged structures for both SRV and LOCA events, a generic analytical model is under development by GE which will be used for all 8'.!R designs. For loads induced by air clear ng, separate i analytical models are under development to describe the two different i types of discharge nozzles of the relief valve discharge lines; a ramshead modal and a quencher model. The ramshead is a " Tee" fitting, whereas the quencher is a multi-branch diffuser type of nozzle. 5 The ramshead model under development by GE is jointly sponsored by both the Mark I an'd Mark II owner's groups. In-plant tests at Mcnticello will provide the necessary confirming data base. The basic quencher analytical model also under development by GE will be common to both Mark I and II programs. However, the confirming data

bases are different. This is due to configuratio.1al differences in the i SRV end device. In-plant tests to be conducted at the Caorso facility in Italy are proposed by the Mark.II owner's group as the confirming data base, while, in-plant tests to be conducted at Monticello are proposed by the Mark I owner's group as the confirming data base.

The proposed program conducted by GE to address the elevated pool temperature concern for the ramshead device is based on experimental 1 determination of the threshold temperature. Current technical specifications for operating Mark I plants restricting plant operation below this limit would be sufficient to satisf/ this concern. GE plans to document these additional data to support the current temperature limit in the near future for staff review. i

8. End Products The program as outlined consists of four major tasks, described belcw.

Upon completion of each task, a NUREG report will be issued. In some cases, this may take the form of input into a more general report (e.g., input into the overall Mark II ilUREG report prepared as part of Task A-8). Each NUREG report will be generic in nature outlining the acceptable methodology to be used for computation of plant specific loads. In addition to the final report, interim acceptance criteria may be necessary to properly interface with both the Mark I and 1 Mark II generic programs. Reports will be issued to the appropriate task manager if such action is necessary. The enclosed detailed schedule indicates those areas where such an intermediate report may be required. The actual need will be determined when more definite schedules are established on the individual programs. As part of the SRV program, revisions as required to the Standard Review Plan will be prepared to procerly reflect the program results. C. Tasks

1. Evaluation of the ramshead air clearing load methodology -

This task involves the review and eva'uation of the analytical 4 model and the supporting data base. Upon completion of the review, an acceptable methodology for computatien of design bases loads associated with air clearing will be developed. O . P

a. Evaluation of analytical model - the GE developed cnalytical model will be reviewed by the staff from both a theoretical and experimental viewpoint. The model will be evaluated for analytical completeness and experimental comparisons made considering the data btse from both Monticello and Quad Cities in-plant tests. The actual experimental comparisons will be provided to the staff in topical reports supplied by GE.
b. Evaluation of test data - Evaluation of the Monticello test date, to be supplied by GE in a topical recort, will be performed by the staff within this subtask. Areas of
             ' consideration will include;
              - data scatter
              - error band determination
              - degree of variations of principal parameters
              - fluid structure interaction effects on measured loads
              - applicability of test data to plant specific conditions (i.e., applicability to other Mark I designs as well as Mark II designs).

Results of this investigation will be incorporated in the model-data ccmparisons evaluation conducted ir, Task 1.a. O e o e a e e e 4

c. Develop air clearing load methodology Based on the results of tasks 1.a and 1.b, load acceptance
                                                      ~

criteria will be developed by the staff for ramshead air clearing induced loads for both Mark I and Mark II designs.

2. Evaluations of the Quencher Air Clearing Load Methodology -

Evaluation and review by the staff of the analytical model with the supportin; data base will be_ performed in this task. Currently, the various industry programs indicate that the quencher arm configuration will differ between Mark I and II designs. However, the bubble pattern associated with each arm will be the same. Therefore, it is assumed that the analytical model will remain essentially the same for both the Mark I and II designs. Upon completion of the staff's review, an acceptable methodology for computation of design basis loads will be determined. It should be noted that as part of the overall testing program, prototypical in-plant testing is planned for the Mark III quencher. This program is considered as confirmatory. The staff effort for review of this program is included in this task but will not impact on the development of the load acceptance criteria since it is confirmatory in nature.

a. Evaluation of Analytical Model -

The analytical model will be reviewed by the staff both from an analytical and empirical viewpoint. Model-to-data comparisons performed.and -ecorted by GE will form the basis of the staff's review, since the basic approach is anticipated to be similar to the methodology used in the ramshead model . (see Task 1.a).

. I .

b. Evaluation of Caorso* Test Data Caorso test data will be reviewed and evaluated by the staff to determine the. adequacy of the data base for confirmation of the analytica.1 model (Task 2.a). These data will be supplied to the staff by GE in the form of a topical report. Areas of consideration will include:
          .             - Data scatter
                        - Error band determination
                        - Degree of variation of principal parameters
                       - Fluid structure interaction effects on ceasured loads
                       - Applicability of test data to Mark II designs.

Results of this task will be incorporated int. task 2.a.

c. Evaluation of Mark I related test data -

The staff will review and evaluate two separate test programs; a small scale test program recently completed to determine relative performance between various quencher designs and an in-plant test program to be conducted at the Monticello plant. The results of these progra 1 will be documented by GE in the form of topical reports. Similar considerations as outlined in l task 2.b will be included in this task. The results of this task will be integrated into Task 2.a.

                 - Appifcability to LOCA induced loads
b. Evaluation of Supporting Data Base -

The staff will review and evaluate the applicability of the data provided by GE for confirmation of the analytical program. It is anticipated that the data base will censist of experimentally derived drag c'oefficients, recent data obtained frem the 1/3 scale pressure suppression test facility tests and possible future tests which will be documented as part of the Mark I and II owner's group programs.

c. Develop Submerged Structure Load Methodology -

Based on the results of tasks 3.a and b, load acceptance criteria will be developed by the staff. These criteria will be applicable for all BWR designs.

4. Determination of LOCA and ATWS pool Temperature Limits -

This task involves the staff's review and evaluation of GE-supplied supporting test data to confirm established design pool temperature limits for both LOCA and ATHS considerations. Presently, GE has proposed a higher design pool temperature limit for the ATUS event, taking into account the low probability of occurrance. The adequacy of this reduced safety margin as well as the proposed pool tem erature limit,for the design basis LOCA will be reevaluated within this task.

8. Potential problems _

A. The proposed schedules have been based to a large part on the current estimates of receipt of key documents from both the Mark I and Mark II cwner's programs. Since there are several tast programs involved, past . performance would indicate a good possibility in schedule slippages in one or two tasks. This may necessitate a'ditional d in-plant testing on lead Mark II plants prior to completion of the SRV ger.eric program. B. Fluid structure interaction effects are an important consideration in the evaluation of both ramshead and quencher test data. A technical assist::ce program has been initiated for ltark I related tasks. However, efforts to develop a similar program for Mark II considerations have just begun. Early initiation of'this program or incorporation into the existing program is required if successful completion of task 2 is to be realized. O

The information in the Task Action Plans will be

;                       used by the Task Managers and Lead Supervisors in executing their tasks, by line managers in planning their resources and by other organi-zations, such as the ACRS, in their interactions with URR regarding the specific issues.                      In addition, the Task Action Plans have been made available to the public and the industry as a means of informing them of our priorities and plans with regard to particular generic issues.

In light of the important role played by the Task Action Plans, it is imperative that the plans be updated on a continuing basis. The guide-lines and procedures outlined below should be used whe.n revisions to approved Task Action Plans are necessary. i THRESH 0LD FOR TECHNICAL ACTIVITY STEERING COMMITTEE APPROVAL OF TASK ACTION PLAll REVISIONS Revisions to Task Action Plans containing the following types of changes shall require the approval of the Technical Activities Steering Committee: f I 1 4 4 e I

1. f4ajor modifications to the problem description or to the approach for resolution (This would be required for major revisions to Section 1 or 2, but would also be required for major revisions to Section 3, 4, 5, or 6).

Example 1: A proposal to change the principal approach of using input from RES to acquiring the same needed input through a Technical Assistance contract and additional f-lRR staff participation in the task. i Example 2: A proposal to add an additional subtask to the program to address the generic aspects of an event which occurs at an operating reactor.

2. Requirements for additional manpower to execute the task (Section 3).
3. Requirements for additional Technical Assistance Funding to exe-cute the task (Section 4).
          . Example:      An example of 2 or 3 would be a proposal for add'i-tional manpower or technical assistance funding, the need for which is identified as the details of the task unfold.

The Steering Committee will consider proposed revisions at its next scheduled meeting. REVISIONS TO TASK ACTION PLANS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE STEERIflG COMMITT Revisions to Task Action Plans that are judged to be of less significance than those types identified above can be made with the approval of the Director of the Lead Division. The goal should be to keep the Task Action Plans as current as possible so that they will be useful internally in the execution of the tasks and they will present a current picture of our on-going generic activities to other NRC offices, the public, the industry,

and other interested parties. Schedule changes, although they must be approved by the Steering Committee, via the Generic Book process, should '

be reflected in the Task Action Plans periodically by using this process for Task Action Plan revisions. i e

1. A memorandum from the Director of the Lead Division to the Steering Committee should be prepared explaining the proposed changes and attaching the proposed revisions to the Task Action Plan. In addition, the memorandum should indicate that the participating organizations affected by the revision agree with the revision.
2. The revised Task Action Plan should be clearly marked on the front page as " PROPOSED REVISION X" and revised portions should be noted with a vertical line in the right-hand margin and a number indicating the revision.
3. Following Steering Committee approval and incorporation of any Committee coaments, the revised Task Action Plan should be clearly marked, " REVISION X" and dated the date of approval (or the date comments were incorporated if approved with comments) and transmitted to the Secretary of the Technical Activities Steering Committee (Mike Aycock, P-436) for standard internal i
