- INTRODUCTION A Mechanical Nozzle Seal Assembly (MNSA) is a device which has been designed for use on certain primary pressme boundary nanina in a scactor system. Thc.se nozzles are attached to the presmuiser, steam generator or RCS pipe by a partia1 penetration
("J") weld on the inside of the vessel or pipe. The weld joins the *moonel aanle to the carbon Weel vessel or pipe. His weld, in some applications, has been found to be susceptable to Prunary Water Stress Conosion Cmcking (PWSCC) casting the possibility of a prunary pressure haandary leek.
A MNSA is inellad omeo the nozzle that has a weld or nozzle deemed susceptible to PWSCC. MNSA replaces the two f==r*ia== of the weld,1) it fonas a primary pressee 4 boundary seal and, 2) it prevents the nozzle from ejecting in the event that erther the weld should fait completely or that the nozzle denlop a 360* crack. l i
Dree MNSA (18erhaar=1 Nozzle Seal Assembly) designs have successfhlly completed qualification test programs which included a hydrostatic leak test (3175 2 50 psi l pusesure at ambient oo Mhtions), three thenna1 cycle leak tests to 2500 poi at 650'F, and i vibration testing which replicated the seismic spectrum for the San Onofre plaats, (see Refsences 5.1.1 and 5.1.2). Each of the MNSA designs was subjected to the seimnic test anadthaas with the system pnesurned to a A J . of 3125 pai. No leakage ,
occuned.
De three designs clanlified as described above are:
- "ncarna Pressuriser" MNSA for the pressure tap nozzle on the knetasa of the pressuriser, Rdesence 5.2.1.
e " Side Pressurizar RfD" MNSA for the RTD nozzle on the side of the pressurizar, Rderenos 5.2.2.
e " Hot Lag RTD" MNSA for the RTD nazzle on the hot leg pipes, Reference 5.2.3.
All MNSA configurations are designed and fabricated to Section III reqairements of the ASMB Boiler and Pressere Vessel Code.
Dree MNSA designs are insaadad for use cri hot les nozzles at Waterioni 3, one for an RTD nozzle, our for a PDT nozzle and one for a sampling nozzle.
All MNSA designs have similar cr==panames, although they are sized differently for each specific application, all are fassumed to the applicabb vessel or pipe in a similar manner. Each desi 6a fiestmes relatively long tie rods between their Upper Flange and thstr Top Plate. De Upper Flange is restrained by four bolts threaded into the vessel c-N'WB-ER4120 Revision 01 Page 4 of13

It should be noted that titis report does not evahnte the effed of the MNSA caraposents on the scalas or their welds. Panial penetration welds are required by the Ases to he under "=heintly no load", this condition is defined in Crwnhuninn Engineering Bulletin 83-03. Satisfacuan of this requirement must be venfied by the Utility.
Appenda A of this report addresses sonne specific Waterford questions regarding the testing and <pulificariaa of MNSA.
2.0 PURPOSE
'Dw purpose of this asport is to perform an engmeering evaluation of the thtee MNSA designs intended for use at Waterford Unit 3. A compenson of these designs will be made to other qualified MNSA designs and a determinatina will be made whether the new designs can be deessed rpahf'=1 without mMaianal testing.
The three Wmesford MNSA designs am:

The four bolts attaching a MNSA to the vessel are the critical components which mainamin its function as a pnmary pressure boundary. Dese bolts restrain the MNSA components from moving with respect so the vessel or pipe, which in turn, maintaint the proper compension on MNSA's Grafoil seal.
It should be noted that this report does not evaluate the effect of the MNSA components on the nozzles or their welds. Partial penetration welds are required by the ASME to be under "substantially no load", this r=inian is defined in Combustion Engineering Balletin 83@. Satisfactwo of this requirement must be venfied by the Utihty.
2.0 PURPOSE ne purpose of this report is to perform an engineering evaluation of the three MNSA designs intended for use at Waterfbrd Unit 3. A wy.dson of these designs w31 be inade to other quahfied MNSA designs and a determination will be made whether the new designs can.be deemed quahfied without aMirianni testing.

4 3.0 RESULTS 1he three Waterford 3 MNSA designs have been evaluated for two operahag conditions, (1) normal static opuation and (2) operability during and after a seismic event.
Norinal Static Opention For a failed noerle with an insamtlart MNSA, the MNSA is considered the primary pressure boundary sent As such it is exposed to the pipe or vessel's operating temperstme and pressure.
For matic operating me, the applicable qualification test involved n= hum hydrostatic testing, and thermal cycle testing to design operating and pressure
=h, for an RfD MNSA. ' Ibis testing is descnbed in Reference 5.1.1.
Scienic. Conditions The pranary issue is to coerina that sessmic loading on the three new assessed desigs will not advenely e5ect the seat function. The function of the seal is preserved if the bolts winch preload and capture the seal are not overloaded. Two approaches were used to evaknee this issue.
a) An overturning marname, russiting from the product of a unit G loed, applied tinough the MNSA Center of Gsavity, tinses the induced number of Gs froen the seisunic event, was applied to each new MNSA design. The bolt load created by this moment was compared to that exponenced in a tested design. The knam Pressuruer MNSA was used for an= pari == since that design, of the three qualified tinough testing, psoduced the highest londmg in the bolts.
b) The loads created by the atrJe m4 against the MNSA compoesnts during scianic testing were evahrsted. Again the Ranna Pressurizer MNSA was used for coraparison purposes since that design ma the highest loads in the qualsfkution psograin.
k is to be noemd that the Batson: Pressurizar MNSA was subjecsed to vibration testing with an intensity that =W the Saa Onofre seismic spectra by a factor of five.
The tect was conducted with the sysican at a pressurs of 3175 i 50 poi, no leakage occuned. The acismic traing is described in Reference 5.1.2.

.-- -- -> .n a n ....a 3.1 Evahntinn of the three Waterford MNSA M ? ns; the Not Im RTD, the Hot Im PDT, and Hot Im n==Ua? MNSA for their ability to withstand normal static lonha The crztacal parencent for this evaluation is the configuration of all of the consponents involved in restramig and compressing the Grafoil seal of each MNSA design.
From the piping and sozzle dawings, References 5.2.7 and 5.2.8, it is detennined that the specified diameter, in the region where the seal will be made, is the same for the RTD, the PDT sad Sampling manlea (0.993 nranimal). From the Waterford MNSA drawings, References 5.2.4-5.2.6, it is determined that the same Grafoil seal design is used for each design.
'I1se details of the other MNSA components involved with controDing the restraint and cosapseesson of the Grafoil anal have all been designed to achieve the same seal configuration as the qualified R1D MNSA when the seal is installed. Ta~ sse components are the Plat Seal Retainer, the lower Flange, and the Compression Collar.
Therefore since all of the interfacing components are the ame size as the tested RID MNSA componeras and the same seal compression is achieved in each design the quahfication test for the RTD MNSA, Reference 5.1.1, can be astended to the Waterford 3 Hot Leg RTD, Hot lag PDT, and Hot Img Samphag MNSA.
Also, it should be noted that the quahfied RTD MNSA design is identical to the RTD MNSA design intended for use at Waterford 3. There wiB be a much lower sersauc load on the Waterford RID MNSA since, as noted in Section 3.2.1, the G loading is much lower than that insposed on the qualification test specimen. '

There are two concerns regarding seisesic loading:

3.2.2 In annparing the MNSA &stgn configutations bd 4 Waterford 3 and the qualiGed MNSAS it was detennamed that the valve attached to the PI7f rwele at Waterford weighs 25 lbs, whus the one tested in the seismic qualification psogram of the Bottom Presuriser MNSA only weighed 20 lbs. "Ihe Table below evaluates the moment at the base of the valve pipe on the PDT MNSA at Waterfond to that created at the base of the pipe of the qualified unennen Pressurizer MNSA. Although the pipe moment is analyzed below it is only used as a method to quantify the differtece in the loadmg of the MNSA components at Waterford 3 compased to the design teseed. The loading into the MNSA cr==pnaanet would be proportional to the pipe rnoment.
For simphcity the constzvative assumption is made that the G loading is applied at the top of the valm nther than at the Center of Gravity. Since this is a comparative evaluation a more exact determinatina of the valve C.G. is not required.

I As the Tanne shows, the iceding into the qualified Bottom Pressurizer MNSA is much I snore severe than will be expenarmt by the Waterford 3 PDT MNSA.
3.2.3 Another ententneina, Reference 5.3.2, was perfonned to decennine the loadag input creased by scismic testing imo the n arrarn Pressurimer MNSA con 7m. 'Ihe loads which would be applied to each of the MNSA designs under tius condihon are proportional to the naiannie G loading applied. As shown in the Table above, the loading into the Waterford MNSA components is only 0.6/2.8, or approxanately 21 %
of the load, applied to the Bonom Prussurizer MNSA specunen in the qualification test.
In actuality the loads imposed during the SONGS test program were far more severe than design requirements. Due to an oil column resonance in the seismic table used for vibration testing, an unavoidable resonac.w hwy was encommered which inadversently generated inertial lands appenvimmly five times higher than required by the San Onofre seissaic spectra. The MNSA maineminad its stmctural ingegnty and did not leak even sifter this severc land.

It should be noted that in the foNowing discussons the term *epechon* refers to a smaN outward movement of the nozzle in a dmschon axial to the nozzle until it contacts the MNSA anh-eJechon piele.
ABB CEfr has addressed the MNSA both with the nozzle 4 Weld either fupy and/or perbeNy intact and g% fun eJoction (due to a hypothetical 300-Degree croctQ. Prior to specton, the RS48A and the nozzle represent <tynemiceNy two separate structures and the seismic evaluahons for the ASISA (as induded in References 4'thmugh 6) are anphreham The presence of the MNSA does not aRar the anynel nozzle andyses, as amended by the~requeements vnposed by Reference 7. This is because after fug epochon the MNSA provides me axial restraint to the nozzle while the fuiHength engagement onente the hat leg pipe bore provides the composte lateral resereint of the ongsnal conA0ersbon Since Reference 7 may have necesometed instansbon of shens between nozzie and bare to reduce stresses into the J.we6d. and since insteRecon of the MNEA now allows complete removal of these shims, the nozzie deegn now con be credAed wah the supporting funcdon from the closely fieng Grafos asal compreemon corer. This new design feense more then compensales for the removal of the shens. on the hot les 10 and of the nozzie the nemm clearance, plus the resulbng complex fracture unlours wlE condnue to pntvide a telerul restrant semder to that of the ongmet J weed Thaefore it is estabished that, wan enoopdon of the rotshonal restrant provuted by the ortgmel J Woki, the presence of the ASdSA plus the rememen0 nozzle engagement after noezie spection mentems the original nozzle supporbng cherscaensha such as strength. neutty and boundary condibons wth respect to the attadied pipeg The MNSA steeff pairs up with the nozzie and becoces of Rs own stdtness provides added support to the nozzle without detnmentally affachng sts naturel frequency response behavior The atelty of the MNSA to perform as a complete repiscement of the J-weld was Largely demoneirated by test. This was accompinhed for the SONGS dem9n by the hyeestahc and thermal cyde temung documented in Reference 3 and the severe seemic - 1_ 'a testmg of Reference 1 as augmented by the discussion of Reference 2. These referenors are now used to demonstrate seemic quellfncedon of the WSES 3 AMSA desgns by comper: son to the much lomer WSES-3 sesemic pipe mobons documented in Refenmoe 8.
