9. DISCUSSION. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Chronoloav:

05/15/85: TVA receives Employee Concern IN-85-103-002 08/28/85: Significant Condition Report No. SCRWBNCEB 8520 issued by Watts Bar 10/31/85: Problem Identification Report No. PIRWBNCEB 8536 issued by Watts Bar 12/05/85: Significant Condition Report No. SCRSQNCEB 8510 issued by Sequoyah.

Discussion:

The concerned individual's reference to " thermal stress" could ij relate to: a) The load in the pipe support structural members due to restrained thermal expansion,

/. and/or b) The load imposed upon the pipe support by thermal expansion of the pipe.

b a. Restrained Thermal Expansion of Structural Members:

The design criteria for reinforced concrete, structural steel

) and miscellaneous steel, (Appendix A, 5.a) requires

. consideration of thermal loads for Category I structure 1 design for the following conditions:

(i) Normal plant operation and shutdown

(ii) Postulated high energy pipe break accident u, The SQN pipe support design criteria and manual (Appendix A,

~l 5.b & h) do not require consideration of these loads for pipe i support design. Consequently, SQN pipe supports with 3 structural members restrained between two rigid points (if any) have not been designed to account for temperature

.3 variations. This was verified by discussion with SQN EN DES pipe support personnel.

, At WBNP a Problem Identification Report (Appendix A, 5.g) was written on this subject. As a result of this PIR, WBNP called for a six-part corrective action plan as quoted below:

l "1. Review and identify all pipe support designs restrained 4 between concrete surfaces with no allowance for thermal movement of the support structure.

2. Determine the maximum dif ferential temperature that can be experienced without exceeding the current criteria requirements for the support configuration. Compare the temperature with the maximum environmental temperature conditions to determine supports that will not meet criteria requirements.
3. If possibic, after review of the overstressing and/or failure modes determined in step 2, develop justification for acceptability of each overstressing and/or potential failure.
4. Modify design criteria W8N-DC-40-31.9 and other criteria, as required to reflect any general acceptance developed above.
5. Revise the designs of all identified supports that can not be justified in step 3.
6. All design work to be completed per ECN 6056."

5 ( The SQN initial response (Appendix A, 5.d) to the generic condition evaluation (Appendix A, 5.e) was to address this issue for a typical (standard) conduit support.

Subsection NF of the 1983 edition of the ASME Boiler and

$ Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Division 1, Article NF-3121.11 states that evaluation of thermal stresses in the support is not required. However, SQN has initiated a review of pipe supports (Appendix A, 5.1, 7.h, 7.1, and 7.j) in their proposed corrective action plan as summarized below:

?

  • o The temperature variation consideration will be

, addressed for " Typical" and " Engineered" pipe supports where applicable, o SCR SQNCEB 8510 will be revised to indicate this review.

o The subject SCR will be closed prior to restart of SQN.

The evaluation team concurs with the SQN approach to comply l with the temperature variation consideration of the Structural Design Criteria ( Appendix A, 5.a) for those pipe support design features where a structural member is restrained between two rigid points. Such a design feature will experience considerable thermal loading if the j (\- temperature variation is significant. A review of such l supports located in high-temperature zones (such as inside containment, steam tunnel, etc.) is pruder.t.

b. Thermal Pipe Loads Imposed on Support:

The SQN procedures and criteria for piping stress analysis and pipe support design require the inclusion of thermal loads for systems requiring thermal analysis. The implementation of this requirement was observed by the evaluation team during the evaluation of element nos. 220.3, 221.2, 221.10, and 222.2.

Findings:

a. The lack of consideration for temperature variation in the SQN pipe support design would cause additional loading on members restrained between two rigid points.

The proposed SQN corrective action plan to WBNP PIR will adequately address the temperature variation issue for pipe support design.

b. The pipe expansion imposed loads on pipe supports are g considered in the SQN pipe support design.

E ..

Conclusion:

f The statement of concern is valid for item (a) in the Discussion above and the evaluation team concurs with SQN proposed corrective action plan. With regard to item (b), the statement of concern is l not valid as there is evidence to indicate that thermal piping loads were considered. This conclusion is based on statements in the design criteria that thermal loading must be considered and by examination of SQN piping and pipe support calculations. l

[ 10. CORRECTIVE ACTION

! In its corrective action plan (CAP) (App. A, 5.m), TVA will identify steel structures with design features that restrain thermal growth. These structures will be evaluated for the maximum differential temperature experienced by them. The structural t

! design will be modified if:

a. The ultimate design capacity of the concrete structure (the fixed points) is exceeded, or
b. The steel structure is overstressed and this overstressing cannot be justified.

ba The evaluation team concurs with this CA'.
