SUMMARY

OF MEETING OF THE STAFF WITH WASHINGTON PUBLIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM CONCERNING THE WNP-3 S0IL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION / DECONVOLUTION ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION A meeting of the staff with representatives of Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS or the Supply System) was held at the offices of the NRC in Bethesda, Maryland, on December 15, 1987.

The purpose of the meeting was to resolve some outstanding questions concerning the soil-structure interaction /

deconvolution analysis used in tha WNP-3 seismic evaluation as described in the WNP-3 FSAR. Enclosure 1 provides the list of those who attended the meeting. provides the viewgraphs which were presented during the meeting.

BACKGROUND Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) are the technical review contractors on this issue.

BNL provided a report by letter dated October 15, 1987, which indicated that there was not a sufficient basis to conclude the review and prepare a TER. While the applicant has satisfactorily responded to several questions raiseo in a request for additional information of April 1, 1987, there are still some concerns regarding the applicant's deconvolution analysis.

Therefore, BNL proposed a meeting with WPPSS in order to the resolve the concerns raised in the BNL report.

The BNL report was sent to WPPSS on November 10, 1987.

DISCUSSION WPPSS discussed the deconvolution analysis and related issues as indicated in the viewgraphs. A sumary of the main issues discussed at the meeting to resolve the questions concerning the SSI/ Deconvolution Analysis performed by WPPSS for the WNP-3 plant follows:

The applicant's staf presented some data to answer the questions raised by BNL on the applicants response of July 31, 1987, to our request for additional information of April 1, 1987. Specifically the applicant's staff discussed the procedure used to obtain the side wall interaction springs and damping parameters used in the half-space analysis.

The staff indicated that the applicant's methods of determining these impedance parameters were not

!!O Ob O

@0 A

. appropriate. For example, fixing the bottom nodes of the finit: element model for determining the sidewall spring stiffness did not produce the proper stiffness values.

The staff also suggested that assuming the foundat:en to be rigid and obtaining the impedance functions using the procedures described in the currently available literature might produce reasonable results.

Next the applicant's staff tried to show that the response determined by its half-space analyses of Category-I structures, piping, etc. were bounded by the original (finite element) seismic design ro ults.

The staff indicated that the applicant's conclusions appeared to be based on comparison of responses at the ZPA level and that the responses at lower frequences were not included in their presentation.

After a detailed discussion of the various aspects of the applicant's analysis procedures presented, the staff requested the applicant to provide additional information/ justification on the following items:

1, Justify that the ZPA alone represents an acceptable upper bound for the structural parameters of interest for Category I structures.

2.

Justify that the frequency independent impedances are adequate for the frequency ranges of interest at the WNP-3 site for the embedded foundation conditions.

3.

Compare sidewall impedances used in the half-space analysis with those obtained from analytical solutions for these parameters available in the literature.

4.

Provide detailed calculations to show that stresses developed in the steel containment vessel as predicted by the half-space aralysis are within acceptable limits.

The staff informed the applicant that, only after pr)viding satisfactory responses to the above items, a comparison should be made of the spectra from the half-space analysis with the design basis spectra (obtained from finite element analysis using deconvolution).

If the design basis spectra envelope the half-space analysis results, then the method for obtaining the design basis reported in the FSAR will be considered acceptable.

If not, the applicant should consider the specific site effects in determining the ground motion input to be used in the SSI analysis. After that, the staff will perform an audit of the applicant's decenvolution calculations. However, it should be understood that the level of ground motion is subject to modification depending on the results of the Seismology Program review.

In response to the applicant's request concerning the level of detailed analysis that would be expected in justifying the accuracy of its analysis procedure, the staff indicated that the containment analysis should be as complete as possible in order for the staff to resolve this issue.

L

4 In summary, the applicant was asked to review and reevaluate the basic input parameters used in the deconvolution /SSI analysis and then compare the half-space analysis results with the design basis spectra reported in the FSAR.

2F. SEVERAL WIDELY ACCEPTED METHODS EXIST FOR COMPLETING SEISMIC DESIGN ANALYSES.

IN BROAD TERMS Ti!ESE INCLUDE IIALF-SPACE AND FINITE ELEMENT METHODOLOGIES.

EXPERIMENTS HAVE SHOWN TilAT THE HALF SPACE MET 110D YIELDS RESULTS JUST AS C00D AS Tile FINITE ELEMENT APPROACH IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS SUC11 AS WHEN THE EMBEDMENT IS LESS THAN llALF OF Tile BUIDLING ALSO KAUSEL ET AL ( } OBSERVED THAT "THE FREQUENCY VARIATION llEIGilT.

OF THESE (HALF SPACE) FUNCTIONS IS NOT VERY DIFFERENT FOR EMBEDDED FOUNDATIONS.

THE MAIN EFFECT OF EMBEDMEN"I SEEMS TO BE AN OVERALL INCREASE IN THE STIFFNESS VALUES OVER THE ENTIRE FREQUENCY RANGE. THIS WOULD ALLOW USE OF Ti!E FINITE ELDIENT TECHNIQUES JUST FOR THE STATIC CASE (TO FIND Tile SIDE SPRINGS)".

FURTHER Y 0 BERDUGO AND M NOVAK( } IMPLIED THAT CONSTANT PARAMETERS (WEIGilTED AVERAGE FREQUENCY INDEPENDENT) YIELDS RESPONSES QUITE CLOSE TO Til0SE FROM THE VARIABLE PARAMETERS (FREQUENT DEPENDENT).

IN OUR LAST RESPONSE, WE STATED THAT OUR HALF SPACE PLUS STATIC SIDE SPRING MODEL GIVES SATISFACTORY RESULTS IN COMPARISON WITH THE FINITE ELEMENT MODEL.

WE BELIEVE THAT FURTHER STUDY IN FREQUENCY DOMAIN IS NOT NECESSARY.

THE SIDE WALLS OF WNP-3 ARE NOT RIGID.

AS E KAUSEL ET AL STATED "THAT Tile ROTATIONAL COMPONENT IS SENSITIVIE TO THE LATERAL SOIL CONDITIONS AND PARTICULARLY TO Tile FLEXIBILITY OF THE LATERAL WALLS.

FOR FLEXIBILE SIDE WALLS THE ACTUAL ROTATION IS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER...."

TO DERIVE FREQUENCY SPRINGS FOR FLEXIBLE SIDE WALLS IS VERY CUMBERSOME.

THE EFFORT IS MUCH GREATER TilAN THE ONE-STEP FINITE ELEMENT APPROACH. WIT 11300' WIDE BY 64' DEEP EMBEDDED SIDE WALLS, IT IS VERY HARD TO JUSTIFY THAT THE WALLS CAN BE TREATED AS RIGID.

'2G. SIMILAR TO 2F.

Question No.

220.13 The applicant has allowed a considerable reduction in the esti-(SRP 3.7.1, mated accelerations at the basemat compared to the ' full free-II, and field design response spectrum (over 35% at 10 HZ for horizon-2.7.2, tal SSE).

In the FSAR the applicant is comparing his response 11, 4 FSAR spectrum at the basemat with a 60% design response spectrum.

3.7.1.2)

This is essentially a rock site.

Shear wave velocities of 3000 to 4300 fps were recorded in the supporting medium.

Therefore, it is considered that, regardless of the method used to establish re-sponse spectra, reductions in seismic response at the basemat level would not be expected.

Tnis was specifically confirmed by the applicant in paragraph 2.5.4.7 of the FSAR, the last sentence of which states, "Therefore, tnere will be no amplification in the sandstone, and the caserock acceleration at the site is equal to the acceleration at the plant foundation." The applicant must provide conclusive justification to show that the approach used is technically correct and also will be properly conservative for this rock site.

The seismic analysis methods described in NUREG-0800, Rev.1, Section 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 will be used by the staff as guidance in our evaluation of an acceptable design basis.

Response

On September 26, 1983, members of the NRC Structural Engineering Branch conducted a design audit at the offices of the WNP-3 Archi-tect/ Engineer, Ebasco Services Inc., in New York City.

4 The results of this audit were transmitted to the Supply System

[

via letter from G. W. Knighton to D. W. Mazur, dated November 2, 1983.

The Supply System considers this Question and Audit Finding Number 1,to be essentially the same concern.

Accordingly, we con-sider it appropriate to address the response to this question in l

the context of our response to Structural Audit Finding Number 1.

i I

1 f

Audit Finding #1 In order to proceed with the audit it was decided to discuss with Ebasco the deconvolution analysis for~the plant.

This issue was previously raised in review of the FSAR.

Ebasco has applied the deconvolution methodology to a finite element model of the rock site.

Since the rock is essentially elastic in the range of interest, a reduction in motion at the base mat from that postulated at the surface, would not be expected.

In the analysis, credit was taken for such a reduction and the staff has desagreed since such results would not be expected for a rock site.

Accordingly, the staff will require that the recommendations of NUREG-0800, Section 3.7.2 be followed.

Specifically, either Jn elastic half-space analysis should be performed to ennfirm the finite element analysis, or the site should be considered as a rock site, and a fixed-base analysis should be performed.

In any case the full value of the SSE/0BE should be input at the base mat with-out reduction.

Apolicants Preliminary Response to Findino #1 The above concern was addressed in a letter dated May 3,1983 T. Novak to R. L. Ferguson (Questions 220.13 and 220.16).

The Supply System intends to provide a response to the cited questions by February of 1984.

SGEB Staff Discussion The applicant did not, furnish computations of his deconvolution sensitivity analysis for the staff to examine in the audit (see also audit finding #8).

However, it is considered that the staff direction provided to the applicant during the audit, as described above, represents an acceptable method to verify the adequacy of the structures to withstand seismic (in combination with other) loads.

Any confirmatory analysis by the applicant should include the production of response spectra which can be compared to the applicable response spectra and previous results for the staff evaluation.

Tile WNP-3 DESIGN ANALYSIS PROCEDURES PROVIDES AN ACCEPTABLE BASIS FOR THE SEISMIC DESIGN.

AN ELASTIC HALF SPACE ANALYSIS ~ WAS PERF01U4ED WilICH INPUT Tile FULL VALUE OF THE SSE AT Tile BASEMAT.

Tile RESULTS OF Ti!E ELASTIC HALF SPACE ANALYSIS CORRELATE VERY WELL WITH THF. BUILDING RESPONSE SPECTRA GENERATED BY Ti!E DESIGN BASIS FINITE ELEMENT METHOD.

TilERE ARE NO GROSS DISPARATIES BETWEEN THE TUO SETS OF RESULTS.

BOTl! TECTINIQUES INCORPORATE SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATISMS IN MODEL INPUTS AND EXECUTION TECl!NIQUES.

COMPOUNDING THESE SEISMIC ANALYSIS CONSERVATISMS ARE SUBSYSTEM ANALYSES WilICH CONFORM TO RESTRICTIVE DESIGN CODES AND STANDARDS.

Ti!E FINITE ELEMENT METi!0DOLOGY NECESSITATED Tile USE OF DECONVOLUTION ANALYSIS.

DECONVOLUTION ANALYSIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TECilNIQUE EVEN FOR ROCK SITES SUCH AS WNP-3.

IN-SITU SEISMIC DATA DEMONSTRATES ACTUAL ATTENUATION IN SEISMIC RESPONSE WITH DEPT 11 CONSISTENT WITH THAT PREDICTED BY THE SHAKE MODEL RESULTS.
