at termination of Rocks Road Description The Seabrook Station (SB) is a two-unit nuclear plant. Each unit is rated at 1200 MWe anj includes a four-loop PWR and a tandem com-pound, six-flow turbine generator. The Structural Integrity Test (SIT) for Unit I was performed to demonstrate that the Containment responds in an acceptable manner to the specified internal test pressure of 115% of the design pressure.

The Integrated leak rate test (ILRT) was conducted by others in conjunction with the SIT and was performed after SIT peak pressure but prior to completing depressurization. The ILRT started at 39 psig SIT depressurization plateau. The ILRT is not within the scope of this report.

2.0 PURPOSE General Design Criterion 1 of Appendix A to 10CFR Part 50 requires that structures, systems, and components of nuclear power plants important to safety be tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed.

To comply witis the above criterion, it is committed in the FSAR, Section 3.8.1.7, that a preoperational structural integrity test will be performed at 1.15 times the Containment design pressure (52 psig).

To meet the above commitment, the SIT was performed in accordance with the requirements of the following documents:

1. USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.136, Revision 2, " Materials, Con-struction, and Testing of Concrete Containments" (Appendix A).
2. Article CC-6000 of ASME B&PV Code,Section III, Division 2 (hereinafter referred to as Division 2), 1980 Edition (Appendix B).
3. UE&C Specification No. 9763.006-5-5, " Specification for Struc-tural Integrity Test", Rev. 3 (Appendix C).

The Seabrook Unit 1 Containment is considered as non prototype as defined in CC-6212.2. The Consolidated Edison's Indian Point Unit No. 2 and Washington Public Power Supply System Unit No. I are the prototypes for this test.

3.0 CONCLUSION

3.1 General The structural integrity test (SIT) of Seabrook Unit 1 Containment structure started on March 15, 1986. The integrated leak rate test (ILRT) was performed by others in conjunction with the SIT and it started at 39 psig depressurization plateau on March 17, 1986.

After completion of the ILRT on March 19, 1986, the SIT resumed and it was successfully completed on March 21, 1986. Figure 6-1 shows Containment pressure cycles.

Based on an evaluation of the test data and a comparison of the test data with the predicted / acceptable data, it is concluded that the test results correlate satisfactorily with theoretically pre-dicted response. and the Seabrook Unit I concrete Containment structure has responded satis.factorily to the test pressure loads.

Therefore, the Containment structure has satisfied the structural acceptance criteria of ASME B&PV Code,Section III, Division 2, Subarticle CC-6213, 1980 Edition.

The majority (about 94%) of the instruments performed well and sufficient data were recorded. Based on these data, positive con-clusions are drawn regarding the performance of the Containment s t ructure. A total of sixty-six (66) instruments were used, of which only four (4) were inoperative. The malfunctioning of these

! instruments (Section 11.0 and Appendix I) did not affect the conclusions made with respect to the acceptance of Containment SIT.

SB-1 SIT Page No. 3-1

r-

{

The discussion of the results is primerily based on measured data from the peak pressure 60.2 psig which is 115% of the design pressure (52 psig). Tables 10-1 through 10-7 compare measured displacements for pressure 60.2 psig with the analytical and acceptable values.

Displacements for all pressure plateaus,are included in Appendix 1.

Figures 10-1 through 10-5 exhibit analytical, acceptable and measured radial deflections of the cylindrical wall for various pressure plateaus. Table 10-8 presents deflection recovery 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> after depressurization. Concrete crack pattern plots and photo-graphs are presented in Appendix I.

3.2 Results 3.2.1 All but one (IG26) measured displacements are below the acceptable values. The measured horizontal deforestions (IG26) of the equip-ment hatch opening at pressures 60.2 and 52 psig are about 16.4%

/ '

and 8.2% highe'r than the respective acceptable values. This does not meet the acceptance criteria of CC-6213(d). For' explanation of this deviation, see Sections 10.2, 10.4.4 and 11.2.5. All measured radial displacements are in excellent agreement with the predicted -

values (Sections 10.4.2, 10.4.3, 10.4.5). Measured maximum radial displacement at IG29 where potential voids were identified behind the liner plate (Ref. NRC Blue Sheet 047 in Appendix L), is within the acceptable value. Additionally, IG29 recovered to about 86%

af ter depressurization, thus confirming the elastic behavior of the liner plate. There was no evidence of any localized distress to the liner plate. Vertical displacements of the cylinder and the done are considerably lower than the predicted values. Explana-tions for such behav'ior are provided in Sections 10.4.7 and 10.4.8.

Generally, higheb : ..' ; tete tensile strength than what was assumed in analyses, resulted in reduced cracking and hence, lower displace-ments. The pattern of dome displacements is in agreement with the predicted one. The ' flattening' of the done ' apex occurred as predicted.

The deflection recovery twenty (20) hours af ter depressurization is more than the minimum recovery value of 70%. About 50%.of the instruments (operational) recovered about 80% or more. Only.IG3A recovered to about 58.2%; this is attributed to instrument error because recovery of similar channel IG3B is about 80%. There is no evidence of any inelastic behavior. Recovery measurements of the personnel airlock deformations (IG27 and IG28) are erratic; these are prone to error because of significantly small values of both measured and predicted values. Based on an evaluation of deflection recovery, it is concluded that the response of the Containment I structura under the SIT conditions is elastic in nature and it meets the requirements of CC-6213(C).

3.2.2 The concrete crack pattern plots are presented in Appendix 1. The maximum crack widths (except two cracks on two discrete zones near the personnel airlock - Ref. Sections 10.5.3b, 10.5.4 and 11.2.7) recorded are 0.015" which is within the predicted / acceptable values. All cracks closed to 0.005" or smaller after depressuriza-tion. Multiple in-line cadwelds (Appendix L) did not result in large cracks local to the areas; small cracks were distributed over the areas.

3.2.3 There was no yielding of rebars based on an evaluation of crack widths and displacement data.

3.2.4 There were no visible signs of permanent damage or any signs of localized distress either to the concrete structure or to the steel liner (Appendix K).

3.2.5 The structural concrete showed a greater tensile strength under the SlT conditions than what was assumed to develop analytically pre-dicted values. This resulted in reduced cracking and hence, smaller displacements.

4.0 SPECIFICS OF CONTAINMENT 4.1 Physical Description 4.1.1 General The steel lined concrete Containment (Containment) is classified as a Seismic Category I reinforced concrete structure. The Containment is comprised of three basic reinforced concrete structural elements - the circular base mat with reactor pit, an upright cylindrical shell and a hemispherical dome. A continuous welded steel liner plate is anchored to the inside face of the base mat, cylinder and dome to function as a leak-tight membrane.

The base mat, cylindrical shell and the dome behave as a single integrated structure under the applied loading conditions.

l -

4.1.2 Base Mat The base mat is a circular reinforced concrete structure, 153'-0" in' diameter and nominally 10'-0" thick. There is a cavity in the base mat under the reactor vessel. The mat is founded on en-gineered fill-concrete which extends to the sound bedrock. The base liner at the top of the base mat is 1/4" thick carbon steel plate and is welded to leveling angles which are embedded in con-crete. The base liner is covered with a 4'-0" thick fill mat.

The fill mat is not anchored to the base liner and is not a part of the Containment.

SB-1 SIT Page No. 4-1

l l

l 4.1.3 Upright Cylinder The reinforced concrete upright cylinder is nominally 4'-6" thick with an inside diameter of 140'-0". It extends from the top of the base mat to the spring line at the intersection of the cylinder and the dome, a distance of 149'-0". The large openings in the cylinder are the . Equipment Hatch opening which is 28'-0" in diameter and the Personnel Airlock opening which is 7'-1 1/4" in .

diameter. The area around the Equipment Hatch opening is thickened to a dimension of 8'-9" for a diameter of 45'-0" which then tapers back to the shell at an angle of 45*. The Personnel Airlock is similarly thickened to a dimension of 6'-6" for a diameter of 18'-l 1/4". See Figures 4-2 and 4-3 for respective details.

The cylinder liner is primarily constructed of 3/8" thick steel plates in a cylindrical shape of 140'-0" diameter joined with full I

penetration,' continuous welds. The cylinder liner is attached to

~

! the base liner by a knuckle which consists of 3/4" thick plates.

In all areas where the cylinder is penetrated by pipe sleeves, including the Equipment Hatch and the Personnel Airlock, the liner thickness is 3/4". The liner is anchored to the reinforced concrete cylinder by means of vertical " Tee" sections whose stems are welded to the external side of the liner with two 3/16" con-tinuous fillet welds, thus providing anchorage for the liner to the structural concrete wall.

SB-1 SIT Page No. 4-2

-4.1.4 Dome The reinforced concrete done is a hemisphere of 69'-11 7/8" inside radius and thickness of 3'-6 1/8". The done thickness increases uniformly from a tangent point on the done above the spring line to form a tangent where the done meets the spring line at the out-side diameter of the cylindrical wall.

The done liner is 1/2" thick and flush with the cylinder liner on the outside face. The liner plates are joined with full penetra-tion continuous welds and are joined to the cylinder liner at the spring line. The anchorage system of the done liner consists of tees on a 5'-0" grid pattern. A bent stud 'is provided at the center of each of the 5'-0" x 5'-0" panels.

4.1.5 Containment Components I . ,

The' Containment components include the equipment hatch, personnel airlock, piping penetrations, other penetrations, etc. Metal sections of the Containment pressure boundary which are not backed by concrete, are' covered by ASME B & PV Code,Section III, Division 1, and are not within the scope of this report.

4.1.6 Other Interface Structures To avoid interaction, other internal and external structures have not been connected to the Containment cylinder or dome. All the internal structures are supported on 4'-0" thick fill mat on top of the base mat liner. The fill sat is not anchored to the base liner. The entire Containment is enclosed by a minimum of 15" thick reinforced concrete Containment enclosure. The Containment enclosure building is supported on a separate foundation mat.

SB-1 SIT Page No. 4-3

4.2 Design Basis 4.2.1 Ceneral The design of the Containment assures that the reactor and con-tained systems can operate without undue risk to the public health and safety. The primary function of the Containment is to contain or control the release of radioactive or hazardous releases which escape from the reactor coola[tt pressure boundary in the event of the design basis Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA).

In addition, it serves as a biological shf >sid and provides missile protection for safety related systens and components.

The design of the Containment structure includes the following major structural elements:

I a. Reinforced concrete structure

b. Steel liner plate and its anchorage
c. Penetration assemblies Brief descriptions of design bases for the above structural ele-ments are given in the following sections. For detailed descrip-tions, see SB-1 FSAR Section 3.8.1, Docket No. 50-443 and the Containment Design Report No. 9763.102-CDR-1.

SB-1 SIT Page No. 4-4

i 4.2.2 Reinforced Concrete Structure The reinforced concrete Containment was designed to withstand all credible conditions of loadings which included construction loads, normal operating loads, test loads, loads resulting f rom the design basis accident and loads due to adverse environmental conditions.

Effects due to various loads with appropriate load factors, were combined in accordance with the requirements of Division 2. In the design emphasis was given to accident and earthquake loads.

Various combinations of load effects were investigated under both the service (including test pressure condition) and factored load conditions to determine the greatest strength required of the structural sections of the Containment.

The design was performed in accordance with the requirements of Division 2. In the design, actual rebar configuration was con-(

  • sidered a'nd the liner plate was not considered as a strength ele-ment. However, interaction of the liner was considered in the analysis of the concrete containment to determine the liner behavior. Stresses and strains in rebars and concrete were deter-mined for various load conditions and compared with the design allowables of Division 2. The Containment has the capability of withstanding pressure.and temperature transient loads in excess of those associated with the LOCA without loss of functional integrity.

4.2.3 Steel Liner Plate and Its Anchorages The steel liner plate and its anchorages were designed in accord-ance with the requirements of Division 2. For all the loading conditions (service and factored), strains in the liner plate and displacements in the liner anchors were determined and compared with the design allowables of Division 2; this ensured the leak-tightness of the liner. Force-displacement relationship of liner anchors was established f rom the experimental data. The adequacy of the liner subjected to various cyclic loads was considered using fatigue methods and limits of ASME Code Section III, Division 1.

The design of brackets and attachments connected to the Containment liner was performed in accordance with the design requirements of Article CC-3750 of Division 2.

4.2.4 Penetration Assemblies I .

The penetrations were designed to resist pressure loads, thermal loads and mechanical loads, such as piping reactions, etc. with-out loss of structural and leak-tight integrity. The anchorage system for the penetration was designed in accordance with the requirements of Division 2.

Metal portions of all penetration assemblies (including equipment hatch and personnel airlock), not backed by concrete, met the design requirements of various subsections of Division 1, as applicable.

5.0 CONSTRUCTION The cylinder and dome liners were erected independent of the place-ment of concrete in the cylinder and done. Wind girders were used on the liner during construction to resist wind and construction loads. The liner was subjected to survey control during its erection to maintain specified tolerances for overall roundness, plumbness and local deviations. Deviations from specified toler-ances were corrected prior to concrete placement. The liner of the completed structure was substantially true to theoretical shape.

The dome liner was fabricated and ass'embled on the ground, and was erected in place in two lifts.

Cylinder concrete was placed in approximately 5'-0" lifts. Con-crete placement rates were monitored and restricted throughout i placement.

  • Concrete placement in two areas of the cylinder was done separately from the surrounding concrete. These areas are the construction blockouts around the equipment hatch and the personnel airlock. The cylinder and the dome liners were used as the interior formwork and the exterior formwork was tied to the liner plate by means of approved methods. During the placement of concrete, the thickness of the cylinder was locally increased at the junction of the cylinder with the base mat, where rebar placement was out of t

tolerance.

6.0 . STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY TEST (SIT) 6.1 General Description Af ter completion of the construction of the Containment structure and simultaneously. with the integrated leakage rate test (ILRT),

the Structural Integrity Test (SIT) was performed. The entire test (SIT + ILRT) was performed in the period of March 15, 1986 through March 21, 1986. The ILRT started at 39 psig SIT depressurization plateau af ter all the specified SIT -measurements at this pressure plateau were completed. SIT measurements at the next depressuriza-tion plateau (26 psig) resumed after about 62 hours7.175926e-4 days <br />0.0172 hours <br />1.025132e-4 weeks <br />2.3591e-5 months <br /> from data acquisition at 39 psig pressure plateau.

6.1.1 The basis for the performance of the SIT was UE&C Specification f No. 9763.006-5-5, Structural . Integrity Test, Revision 3, and Technical Procedure No. TP-13, Structural Integrity Test, Revision 3.. These documents are presented in Appendices C and F

respectively.

(

6.1.2 Brewer Engineering Laboratories, a unit of Teledyne Engineering Services (hereinafter referred to as the SIT Contractor), was con-

.tracted to provide, install and monitor all required deflection

(

i instrumentation and perform crack mapping under the supervision of United Engineers & Constructors Inc. Brewer Engineering was also responsible to prepare a report on the test results.

6.1.3 Detailed responsibilities of various organizations in the conduct-ance of the S1T are discussed in the Technical Procedure TP-13 (Appendix F).

6.1.4 All pressurization equipment, piping and control were furnished and operated by New Hampshire Yankee Start-Up Test Department (NHY STD).

The testing. was performed using atmospheric (oil-free) air. The Containment was subjected to the test pressure of 60.2 psig (115%

of design pressure of 52 psig) in five approximately equal pressure increments. See Figure 6-1 for Containment pressure cycles. The specified pressure plateaus were 0,13, 26, 39, 52 and 60 psig, both during pressurization and depressurization. After observing at least one hour hold period at each pressurization /depressurization plateau, all SIT data were recorded; the pressure was held constant at each specified pressure plateau for as long as it took to acquire I all data. Cracks were monitored and mapped at each pressurization plateau and at 39.0 psig and 0.0 depressurization plateau.

Pressurization was conducted at a uniform rate of approximately 2.8 psig per hour, but not to exceed 3.5 psig per hour. Depressuri-zation was conducted at a uniform rate of approximately 4.8 to 4.9 psig per hour, but not to exceed 5 psig.

6.1.5 Temperature differential between the Containment interior and the Containment enclosure space was maintained less than or equal to 65 F.

( .

SB-1 SIT Page No. 6-2

(

6.1.6 The primary considerations during the SIT were to make deflection measurements at selected sections, and to monitor and map crack pattern at predetermined locations. Appendix D provides SIT predicted and acceptable data. All acceptable values are 30%

higher than the predicted values. Acceptable values for the test results were used to determine whether the Containment was react-ing within the upper boundary of the design and to decide whether it was safe to proceed to the next higher pressure plateau.

Direct current differential transducers (DCDT's) were utilized for displacement measurement. The deflection measurements (Figure 3 in Appendix C) include the following:

1. Diametrical growth of the cylinder. Radial deflections of the cylinder.

It

2. Radial defl'ections of the, cylinder around the Equipment Hatch and Personnel Airlock.
3. Diameter changes of the Equipment Hatch and the Personnel Airlock.
4. Vertical displacements of the cylinder near the spring line relative to the base mat.
5. Vertical displacements of the dome at the apex and two other approximately equal spaced intermediate points between the apex and the spring line.

6.1.8 Cracks were monitored and mapped during the SIT at all designated locations shown on Figures 6, 7 and 8, and sheet A6 through A9.1 in Appendix C. The mapping areas include the following
1. Area near the spring line (Ref. Sh. #A6)
2. Area near the' aid-height of the cylinder (Ref. Sh. #A6)
3. Area near the cylinder-to-base mat intersection (Ref. Sh. #A7)
4. Areas near Personnel Airlock and Equipment Hatch (Ref. Sh. #A8 and A9)
5. Area near Electrical penetrations (Ref. Sh. #A9.1)

Areas noted in Items 1 ~ through 4 above were selected based on requirements of CC-6233. Area near electrical penetrations was selected based on pretest inspection.

6.1.9 Additional considerations were given during the SIT to address NRC concerns (Appendix L) relative- to the following items:

Potential voids behind the Containment liner plate at Elevation

(-) 23.0', Azimuth 350*.

The additional instrument IG29 was installed on the liner plate at this location to measure radial displacement.

Crack patterns at locations of multiple in-line cadwelds.

Mult iple in-line cadwelds were identified to exist on some of the -ertical rebars located in areas identified on Sheets A7 and A9.1 of Appendix C.

6.1.10 The exterior concrete and the interior steel liner were inspected before and after the SIT.

I 6.1.11 An equipment protection list was prepared and necessary actions were taken to protect all pressure sensitive structures and equip-ment / components.

6.1.12 A comparison of measured test data (for all pressure plateaus) with predicted and acceptable values is given in Appendix 1.

Section 10.0 contains a comparison of test data with analytical and acceptable values at peak pressure plateau of 60.2 psig.

8.0 INSTRUMENTATION 8.1 General The proposed locations of instruments for measuring various deflec-tions of r.he Containment are shown on Figure 3 in Specification 5-5 (Appendix C). Additionally, the Data Recording sheets Al through A5 in Spec. 5-5 identify the specific elevations and azimuths of the individual instrument. As-built instrumentation locations are shown in the SIT Contractor's Reports TR-20422(836) and TR-20422(842).

These reports are included .in Appendices H and I respectively.

Report TR-20422(836) provides a set of procedures for the calibration, ,

installation and operation of instrumentation necessary to monitor and record the test data (displacements, crack widths, etc.). For detailed descriptions of deflection measurement instrumentation, see the above reports.

.given below:

8.2 Extensometers

! Displacement measurements were made using Trans-Tek direct current I

l differential transducers (DCDT's) with integral signal conditioning.

DCDT's are displacement transducers producing a DC voltage output proportional to displacements. The calibration of DCDT provides a scale f actor (in units of inches per volt) which allows the conversion of raw voltage to units of inches.

SB-1 SlT Page No. 8-1

t Where it was possible to install rigid mountings isolated from the Containment wall, the DCDT core was attached to a spring-loaded plunger. The plunger was preloaded to impinge against the Containment wall. As the wall deflected, the plunger followed the wall, thereby

~

moving the core which in turn induced voltage change proportional to the wall displacement.

Diametrical, vertical (both for cylinder and dome) and equipment hatch radial displacement measurements were made utilizing a taut wire de-vice and a DCDT. The taut wire device was 1/16" diameter Invar steel.

The invar wire was fixed to the liner plate at one end (fixed) and connected to specially-designed taut wire bracket at the other end.

The bracket was designed to maintain a constant tension in the wire at all times independent of deflection. Relative motion between the taut wire device and the fixed end was transmitted by the lever arm to the DCDT (Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix I).

Each DCDT was mechanically calibrated in the field just prior to installation. A precision micrometer head was used to determine the sensitivity and linearity of each individual DCDT. No temperature compensation was required because of the thermal properties of the Invar wire. -The coefficient - of thermal expansion of the wire is less than 0.2 X 10-6 in/in/*F.

8.3 Temperature Measurement Devices i

Twenty-six (26) Foxboro dual element RTD's were used ' to monitor temperature inside . Containment. Two (2) additional Foxboro RTD's were installed outside Containment, one at approximately 116' elevation and one at (-) 26' elevation, to obtain Containment wall differential te:Operatures. The RTD accuracy was + 0.28'F with sensitivity of j; 0.05*F. These RTD's are permanent plant equipment.-

-8.5 Pressure Gages and Pressurization Equipment

~

Pressure Gages Two (2) 0-150 psig pressure gages were installed in the pressurization line piping - to monitor pressure during pressurization and during the Containment inspections at each pressure plateau. Gages were Ashcraf t t

Bourdon tube type with an accuracy of + 1/2% full scale.

Pressurisation Equipment.

Eight (8) Atlas-Copco oil-free air compressors were rented for SIT /ILRT. The total capacity was approximately 9600 cfm. Two para-llel af tercoolers and a refrigerated air dryer were installed down-stream of the air compressors. Maximum pressurization rate was 3.5 psi /hr with an average rate of approximately 2.8 psi /hr.

I Depressurization was accomplished via the pressurization path with the compressors disconnected. The maximum depressurization rate was 4.9 psi /hr with an average rate of approximately 4.8 to 4.9 psi /hr.

8.6 Data Acquisition System The computer-based multichannel data acquisition system (Figure 1 of Report TR-20422(836) in Appendix H) is comprised of the following:

DCDT's used to sense the actual deflection Cabling to the instrument setup A Fluke Model 2240 data logger A Hewlett-Packard Model 85 microcomputer l A Hewlett-Packard Model 82901M disc drive i

The system had the capability to perform signal averaging, monitor data channel stability, and convert DCDT input signals to displace-ments in inches by storing calibration factors for each DCDT. The system has the further capabilities of data storage on magnetic disc or tape as well as generating measured and computed displacement data.

8.7 Optical Measurements Crack patterns were recorded for all cracks by visually inspecting the crack mapping areas. Crack widths of 0.010 inch or greater were measured using optical comparators with a resolution of 0.001 inch.

Accuracy of the optical comparators was confirmed by visual compari-son with gage blocks.

10.0 COMPARISON OF TEST DATA WITH ANALYTICAL AND ACCEPTABLE VALUES 10.1 Genersl The comparison of test data to analytically predicted values of the same items requires a prior discussion of the following:

The Containment structure's behavior under the postulated loads.

The parameters which have significant influence on the struc-tural response to thase loads.

The analytical basis for predicted values.

These significant parameters are used to rationalize the dif ferences (or deviations) between the measured test data and predicted values.

The above items are discussed in the following sections:

10.2 Behavior and Significant Parameters The Containment s t ructure is designed as a reinforced concrete pressure vessel with the integral steel liner plate acting as a leak-tight membrane. The principal structural elements of the vessel are hemispnerical dome, cylindrical wall and circular base mat. These structural elements behave as a single integrated system under the applied loads. The Containment as a whole behaves as a membrane structure except in areas of local discontinuity, such as, large openings and intersection of the wall with the base mat and the dome (spring line). The pressure loading induces hoop and meridional tension membrane forces as primary force system, and bending moments and transverse shears locally at the discontinuity regions. The base I

a SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-1

mat has significant bending moments and shears in addition to membrane forces due to plate characteristic. The tensile membrane forces are resisted by both rebar and concrete at low stress levels. When concrete cracks, i.e. stress levels erceed the tensile strength of concrete, rebars become the principal load resisting elements. In the analysis, tensile strength of concrete (300 psi) was assumed to be approximately 1/10 of the specified concrete compressive strength (fe ). This value is significantly lower than the actual placed con-crete strength and the aged strength at the time of the S1T. Per Division 2, liner is not considered as a strength element. However, the S1T condition is essentially internal pressure without significant temperature. Therefore, the liner is, in fact, a load carrying element and becomes a significant strength element when concrete cracks.

The hoop force is the major membrane force in the membrane region of I the cylinder and is given by No = pR, where p is. the internal pressure .

and R is the cylinder radius. Stresses at pressure 60 psig will far exceedtherealistictensilestrength(7.58/ ff)ofconcreteandthe concrete will be fully cracked (vertically oriented). In fact, when internal pressure reaches approximately 35 psig, the radial displace-ment is controlled by the effective steel (including liner, and hoop and seismic rebars) in the hoop direction. Therefore, the analyti-cally predicted values of radial displacements for pressures in excess of 35 psig are quite accurate. As noted before, the role of liner was not considered in developing the predicted values of displacements (Appendix D); if required, these values may be adjusted to include the

~

effects of the liner plate. The meridional membrane force in the cylnder is given by Nx = pR - Dead Load. Horizontally oriented cracks 2

( .

SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-2 l

I

a may develop depending upon the concrete tensile ' strength. These cracks would occur first at higher elevations because less internal pressure is required to overcome the dead loads at higher elevations.

Under the SIT conditions, peak pressure 60 psig may or may not induce horizontal cracks in the cylinder. As noted before, in the analysis concrete cracking was based on concrete tensile strength of 300 psi.

Under the SIT conditions, the actual concrete tensile strength could reach as high as 600 psi. Therefore, the analytically predicted vertical displacements of the cylinder which are dependent on concrete

tensile strength, could be well above the measured test displacements.

Additionally, the role of liner plate was not considered in developing the predicted values.

4 The hoop and meridional forces in the done are as given by l pR,and g - Dead Load, respectively. As.with the meridional stresses j 2 2 in the cylinder, the membrane done stresses may or may not induce I

concrete cracking, depending upon the actual concrete tensile strength. Dome displacements are dependent on this parameter plus l the role of liner which was not considered in developing the predicted i

values.

In addition, the dome to cylinder junction is a discontinuity region of the shell because of potential mismatch in hoop stiffness i of the two shell parts. No mismatch is present when dome's hoop stiffness is one-half (1/2) of the cylinder's hoop stif fness. When both the cylinder and the done are uncracked, the mismatch is partially compensated by the reduced stif fness of the dome. As the cylinder hoop forces produce cracking, the cylinder stiffness reduces signifi-cantly and the mismatch increases. If cracking occurs in the dome, the mismatch is small. The change in hoop stiffness occurs because the stiffness of a cracked section is governed by the area of steel (rebar plus liner). By design, done hoop rebar area is one-half (1/2 )

the cylinder hoop rebar and by analysis, dome hoop force is one-half (1/2) the cylinder hoop force.

t SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-3

4 When a significant stif fness mismatch exists, the dome-displacements l' are less than those for the cylinder and the discontinuity effects introduce bending moments and transverse shears to restore the com-patibility of the two parts. The effect on the displacement behavior is the ' pulling-in' of the cylinder and ' pulling-out' of the dome.

The bending moments produce a variation in meridional stresses across the sections and may produce or increase concrete cracking locally at the spring line.

The cylinder to the base mat junction is another discontinuity region where local bending moments and ' transverse shears develop due to the discontinuity effects. The cylinder at this region undergoes very 1 small radial displacement because of large restraining effect of the base mat. Due to large discontinuity moment in the meridional direction, the cylinder may experience partial cracking on the inside face.

The equipment hatch and personnel airlock are large openings which i

disrupt the membrane behavior of the shell. Local bending moments and transverse shears develop around the openings due to the discon-tinuity effects and also there are local increases in the membrane forces. The area around the opening is thickened locally with a boss l and a transition zone where rebar quantities are significantly in-creased in order to maintain the rebar stress levels within the design allowables of Division 2. Due to bending moments, stresses vary across the sections. Cracking, if it occurs, may be on one side and l extends partially into the section. The stiffness characteristic of the sections depends on the extent of cracking and hence, the concrete tensile strength. The effects of a stiff uncracked boss on the local

t displacements are to restrain the radial growth of the vertically cracked cylinder. A cracked boss will also restrain radial ' growth but to a lesser extent. Depending on the nature and extent of crack-ing in the boss area, the deformations of the opening itself can vary significantly. The dominant effect is ovalling with ' stretching out' occurring in the hoop direction. Therefore, the analytically pre-dicted displacements of the openings could vary significantly from the measured test values. Note, the analysis of the large openings for internal pressure loads was based on uncracked sections, and liner plate was not considered as a strength element.

The following summarizes the significant parameters which af fect the Containment behavior during the SIT pressurization:

1. The rebar area in the cylinder which controls the hoop stiffness and hence, the radial displacements.
2. The concrete tensile strength which determines the concrete crack patterns, i.e., at what pressure, the concrete cracks.
3. The liner plate, in reality, acts as a load sharing element when concrete is fully cracked. This would, to some extent, affect the stiffness and hence, the displacement. Note, the liner plate is not considered as a strength element per Division 2.

I The area of steel is accurately known and this permits quite accurate predictions of radial displacements. The tensile strength' l of concrete is much less accurately known, and this strongly influences the vertical growth of the Containment, dome-to cylinder

( .

SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-5

mismatch, stiffness of the large opening's boss area and the ovall-ing of the opening itself. The membrane hoop - forces for pressure 60 psig will produce vertical cracks in the cylinder; depending on the conuete strength, this pressure may not produce horizontal cracks in the cylinder (even at the highest elevation) or cracking in the ' dome and the large opening boss area. Combined effects of bending moments and meridional forces will produce partial concrete cracking on the inside face of the wall sections at the cylinder-to-base mat junction and probably around the large openings.

10.3 Basis for Predicted Values The Containment response was obtained using four different finite element models for the following structural elements:

1. Entire Containment cylinder, dome and mat neglecting the openings and the reactor pit.
2. The Containment base mat, the reactor pit and 55.0' of the cylindrical wall.
3. A shell segment with equipment hatch opening.
4. A shell segment with personnel airlock opening.

The model for the entire Containment considered the structure to have axisymmetric geometry neglecting the reactor pit and openings. The shell model was fixed at the top of the base mat. It was used for the analysis of axisymmetric loads such as, dead load, pressure and temperature. The finite element model used layering through the wall 4 .

SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-6

r thickness and represented concrete (solid elements) and all steel elements (membrane shell elements) with their appropriate position in the wall. The concrete tensile stre,ngth was assumed to be 300 psi and an iterative process was utilized to determine the ' cracking pattern' of the concrete shell consistent with the SIT peak pressure of 60 psig and -dead load. The concrete elements were assigned con-sistent orthotropic properties. Deformations, ar.d wall forces and moments were determined for each load.

The Containment base mat analysis was performed using a three dimensional finite element model of the base mat, reactor pit and 55.0' of the cylindrical wall. This portion of the cylindrical wall was included in the model in order to represent the stiffening effect of the Containment shell on the mat. The stiffening effect of the internal structures and fill mat was not considered since there is no structural connection between these structures and the base mat. The I

internal structures and the fill mat were not modelled, but the loads they transmit to the base mat were considered. Because of the symmetry, only one half of the structure was modelled. The concrete was considered to be uncracked and the reinforcing steel was not in-cluded in the model. The rock foundation was considered to be rigid.

The analysis of the equipment hatch and personnel airicek were per-formed by the finite element method using a three-dimensional model of a quadrant of the Containment cylinder and dome. Two models were used since the two openings are sufficiently separated to allow independent analysis. The concrete was assumed uncracked for all mechanical loads and cracked for thermal loads only. Symmetry and anti-symmetry boundary conditions appropriate for the loading were used. .

-10.4 Comparison of Test and Predicted Values of Displacement 10.4.1 General Displacements are a global indicator of structural behavior and as such are the best measure of all structural performance. When dis-placements are within predicted limits, the state of stress will also be within design levels. Apparent deviations from the pre-dicted limits require explanation for the causes. In addition, there must not be localized distress as indicated by local bulging and/or excessive cracking with wide crack widths.

Appendix D provides SIT predicted and acceptable values of displace-ments for v'arious pressures. Appendix I compares the measured values with the predicted and acceptable values for all pressure plateaus.

10.4.2 Radial Displacements of Cylinder All radial displacements for pressure 60.2 psig are retabulated in Table 10-1. Values of radial displacements shown for instrumenta-tion IGl, IG2, IG5, IG6, IG7 and IG8 are one-half the diametrical growth. Figures 10-1 through 10-5 exhibit analytical, acceptable and measured radial deflections of the cylindrical wall as a function of wall height.

( .

SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-8

The predicted maximum radial displacement was 0.97" (IG5 and IG6 at El. 89.2'); this compares to the measured value 0.73". The accept-able value is 1.26". The measured maximum radial displacement is 0.82" at IG7, E1. 59.4'; this is less than the predicted value 0.90". The measured average radial displacement (IG7 and IG8) at El. 59.4' is 0.73" which is the same as that for 105 and IG6 at El. 89.2'.

The measured average radial displacement near the spring line at peak pressure 60.2 psig is 0.593". This signifies the ' pulling-in' behavior of the cylnder at the spring line.

IG29 (E1. -23.0', Az. 350') was provided to monitor the behavior of the liner plate where potential voids were identified (Ref. Blue Sheet 047; Appendix L). The predicted maximum radial displacement at this location was 0.172" which is about 11% lower than the measured value 0.193". However, the measured value i's within the acceptable limit of 0.241". Note, IG29 is located only 7.0' above the base mat, and as such full membrane hoop force does not develop at this location. Concrete is not expected to crack in the hoop direction (i.e. vertically oriented cracks). Therefore, the radial displacements are controlled by the uncracked concrete, and the analytically predicted values may not be as accurate as for the cracked sections. See discussion in Section 10.2.

SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-9

l Radial deflections increase as a function of the cylinder height from the top of the base sat and the maximum displacements develop at about 40.0' (membrane region) above the base mat, as predicted.

See Figures 10-1 through 10-5. In the membrane regions, radial displacements of the cylinder remain basically constant; near the spring line displacements are reduced due to ' pulling-in' (discon-tinuity effects) of the cylinder. The pressure range 26 to 39 psig produced sufficient hoop stresses to exceed the tensile strength of concrete and thus caused hoop cracking. See crack pattern charts in Appendix 1. Hence, for pressure range, 26 to 39 psig and above, 4

radial displacements are dependent on the ef fective area of steel in the hoop direction and the displacement predictions are quite accurate.

All changes in diaraeter and the radial displacements of the cylinder at all pressare plateaus are within the acceptable limits. The

~

cylin.det's actual deformations are in excellent agreement with pre-dictions, and accordingly, the state of stresses in the hoop rebars is compatible with design. This measure of performance is a good

[ indicator that the shell structure is behaving as designed.

! 10.4.3 Radial Displacements of Cylinder Adjacent to Equipment Hatch Table 10-2 compares respective values of radial displacements for pressure 60.2 psig. The comparison shows that all measured values are consideraS1) lower than the predicted ones; this is due to minor cracking observed in the boss area. The boss is a 'hard spot' in the membrane region of the cylindrical wall and it does i

not move under pressure as much as the balance of the wall. As

! discussed in Section 10.2, the opening introduces discontinuity in the membrane region, and due to the discontinuity effects, large f .

bending moments develop around the opening. The combined effects of the membrane axial _ tensile forces and bending moments produce partial concrete cracking. The measured maximum radial displacement of 0.868" was recorded at channel R10; this compares to the pre-dicted maximum displacement 1.326" also at R10.

10.4.4 Equipment Hatch Diameter Change Table 10-3 compares the respective values of equipment hatch opening deformations for pressure 60.2 psig. Data for channel IG25 are scattered and questionable. See Appendix I for details. Up to and including pressure level 39 psig, the measured horizontal deforma-tions (from IG26) are within the acceptable limits. The measured horizontal deformations at pressures 60.2 and 52 psig are about 16.4% and 8.2% higher than the respective allowable values. This occurred because the predicted values were based on uncracked boss

(

sections; whereas at higher pressuies some cracking occurred around the opening, thus decreasing the stiffness and this, in turn, increased the deformations.

10.4.5 Radial Displacements of Cylinder Adjacent to Personnel Airlock Table 10-4 compares the respective values of radial displacements for pressure 60.2 psig. All measured displacements are in good agreement with the predicted values. The measured maximum dis-placement of 0.75" was recorded at channel R22, as predicted (0.935"). For behavior of the boss region around the opening, see discussion in Section 10.4.3.

The magnitudes of dis-placements are significantly small due to _the stiffening effect of the boss region. The ovalling of' the opening as predicted by analysis was confirmed by the measured data.

10.4.7 Vertical Displacement of Cylinder Table 10-6 presents the predicted, acceptable and measured vertical displacements .of the cylinder near spring line relative to the base mat at pressure 60.2 psig. Measurements from channels IG20 and IG21 are in good agreement. Values from IG22 are questionable; see notes in Table 10-6. Measurements from IG23 are only about 10%.

I lower than the average value of IG20 and IG21. All measured dis-placements are considerably lower than the predicted values as expected. Measured data indicate that concrete was uncracked in the meridional direction even at peak pressure. This is confirmed by the absence of significant horizontal cracks (Ref. Figure 3 of Appendix I) at the spring line. Furthermore, stresses in the meridional rebars (Ref. SB Containment Design Report 9763.102-CDR-1) at the spring line section for test pressure 60 psig are about

! 22.29 ksi, compared to the design allowable of 45 ksi and rebar yield strc_4 (fy ) of 60 ksi. Additionally, the predicted values were based on assumed concrete tensile stress of 300 psi; the actual tensile stress.(7.5e [ c) during the SIT is expected to be in the l'

range of about 580 (+) psi. The uncracked state of concrete resulted in very low vertical displacements at 60.2 psig and lower pressures.

For further discussion, see Section 10.2.

10.4.8 Vertical Displacements of Dome Table 10-7 compares the respective values of dome vertical displace-ments (at the apex and at two other approximately equally spaced intermediate points between the apex , and the spring line) at pressure 60.2 psig. All measured displacements are considerably lower than the predicted values. This was expected for reasons discussed in Sections 10.2 and 10.4.7. The 26 to 39 psig pressure l produced vertical cracking in the cylinder and this resulted in reduced hoop stiffness of the cylinder. This cracking progresses into the dome only locally at the spring line. The dome does not show significant cracking even at 60 psig. Therefore, a significant mismatch in the cylinder and dome stiffnesses exists. Addition-ally, assumed lower tensile strength of concrete also contributed to the higher predicted values. The pattern of dome displacements is in agreement with the predicted value. The ' flattening' of the f dome apex was" predicted; displacements .at the apex (IG24, El.

188.99') are lower than those at IG24a and IG24c (El. 182.4').

10.4.9 Recovery after Depressurization The recovery measurement is an indication of the elastic behavior of the Containment structure. The acceptable minimum deflection recovery 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> af ter depressurization is 70% or more of the maximum deflection (CC-6213). Final recovery readings (Appendix I) were taken about 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> after depressurization and these values are retabulated in Table 10-8.

6 SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-13 i

During the SlT, the significant stresses occur in the hoop rebars in the cylinder. Therefore, the overall recovery behavior is best demonstrated by the recovery of radial displacements of the cylinder. All radial measurements (IG3A through IG29) of the cylinder recovered more than 70% of the maximum displacements. The radial displacement recovery at IG3A was 58.2%, and this can be attributed to instrument error because the displacement recovery of similar channel IG3B was about 80%. All radial displacements local to the equipment hatch (R1 through R12) and the personnel airlock (R13 through 24) recovered more than 70%. About 75% of the radial displacements in the cylinder recovered 80% or more. All radial displacements local to the personnel airlock recovered about 80%;

whereas 33% of radial displacements local to the equipment hatch recovered 80% or more. Channel IG29 where potential voids (Appendix L) were identified behind the liner plate, recovered 86%, thus confirming the elastic behavior of the plate, and the absence of any local distress due to pressurization. The satisf actory recovery measurements of the cylinder are a positive indication of the elastic behavior of the Containment structure under the SlT condi-tion, as predicted.

The recovery of the equipment hatch opening deformation (IG26) was about 77.5%. Recovery measurements of the personnel airlock defor-nations were erratic; these are prone to error because of signifi-cantly small values of measured and predicted deformations.

( .

SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-14

All vertical measurements of the cylinder recovered about 70% or more. All dome taut wires recovered more than 70%; 80% of the wires recovered about 80% or more. Note, 20-hour recoveries for 1G23 and 1G24c-10 are 69.3% and 69.4% respectively; these are nearly equal to 24-hour minimum allowable recovery of 70% per CC-6213c. Based on an evaluation of recovery rate, it is concluded that 24-hour recoveries for these channels will exceed the minimum value allowed by the Code. Rebar stresses in the cylinder vertical re-bars (except at the cylinder junction with the base mat) are very low under the SlT conditions; therefore, there is no possibility that the structure could behave inelastically.

10.4.10 Summary Radial displacements / diameter growth of the cylinder are the best indications of shell performance. The predicted displacements are I .

in excellent agreement with the measured value. The satisfactory -

recovery measurements are a positive indication of the elastic behavior of the Containment st ructure under the SlT conditions.

The structure did not show any evidence of local distress, globally or locally.

4 10.5 Comparison of Test and Predicted Concrete Cracking 10.5.1 Ceneral The prediction of crack pattern and widths is based on behaviar of prototype Containments. The predicted maximum crack widths at peak pressure 60 psig in the membrane regions (excluding discon-tinuity regions around the large openings) are expected to be 0.025" or less, spaced approximately 18". Crack widths in the vicinity of the equipment hatch and personnel airlock may be greacer. The acceptance criteria for cracks are as follows:

a. The maximum crack width at peak pressure 60 psig is 0.035" averaged over a length of 20'-0". These exclude crack patterns in the vicinity of large openings.

t

b. Crack widths after depressurization are predicted to be less than 0.01".

Crack pattern plots for various designated areas (Appendix C) are exhibited in Appendix 1.

10.5.2 Areas Other Than Equipment Hatch and Personnel Airlock

a. Region near the base of the cylinder wall

'(Ref. Figure 1 of Appendix I)

Cracks were not detectable up to'and including pressure 52 psig.

Some small cracks (horizontal and vertical) developed at pressure 60.2 psig. Widths of these cracks were less than 0.01". This type of crack pattern was expected because of the behavior. of the wall at the junction with the base mat. Due to the combined effects of membrane meridional tensile force and discontinuity moment (producing tension on the inside),

cracks are expected to develop on the inside face behind the liner. Additionally, membrane hoop forces in this region are very small and, therefore, no significant vertically oriented cracks are expected to develop.

b. Region at mid-height of the cylinder wall (Ref. Figure 2 of Appendix I)

No cracks were detected up to and including pressure 26 psig.

Numerous vertically oriented cracks developed at peak pressure 60.2 psig. This was expected because hoop force is the major membrane force in the membrane region of the cylinder.

Stresses in the hoop direction at pressure 60.2 psig will far exceed the realistic tensile stress of concrete in the hoop direction and, therefore, concrete will be cracked in the hoop direction, resulting in vertically oriented cracks. Absence of significant horizontal cracks indicate that the stresses in the I .

SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-17

F meridional direction are, as predicted, less than the actual concrete tensile stress. See discussion in Section 10.2. The measured maximum crack (vertical) widths were 0.011"; crack spacings were ' about 15" (+). Cracks' closed tighter after depressurization; the maximum crack widths recorded after depressurization were only 0.005".

c. Region at the spring line (Ref. Figure 3 of Appendix I)

No cracks were detected up to and including pressure 26 psig.

At pressure 39 psig, several vertically oriented cracks devel-oped; maximum crack widths were 0.012". Crack spacings were about 24" (+). Cracks which developed at 39 and 52 psig, did not open up at the peak pressure 60."2 psig, i.e., maximum crack widths were still 0.012". Additi'onally, several minor (width i 0.01") horizontal cracks with large spacings were detected at the peak pressure. Most of the cracks closed to less than 0.01" at 39 psig depressurization plateau. All cracks closed to 0.005" or smaller after depressurization.

d. Region at El. 5.0'. Az. 59.9' (Electrical Penetration Area)

(Ref. Figures 6a and 6b, Appendix I)

Numerous cracks were identified on this area as a result of SIT pretest inspection (Appendix J). All cracks were under 0.01" in width and they were marked in field with black markers. Pre-existing vertical cracks started to open up at 52 psig pressurization plateau and the maximum crack widths recorded were 0.012". At peak pressure 60.2 psig, numerous vertical and horizontal cracks developed. The maximum crack

(vertical) widths were 0.015". Horizontal cracks were not significant and widths of such cracks were under 0.01". All crack widths recorded af ter depressurization were 0.005" or smaller.

Note, some of the vertical rebars in this area were identified to have multiple in-line cadwelds (Appendix L). A comparative study of crack pattern on dif ferent areas of the cylinder as discussed in this section (10.5.2), shows that multiple in-line cadwelds did not result in large cracks local to the area.

Therefore, it is concluded that multiple in-line cadwelds did not have any significant effect on concrete cracking.

10.5.3 Equipment Hatch and Personnel Airlock Areas

a. Equipment Match Area (Ref. Figures Sa and Sb of Appendix I) .

No cracks were detected up to and including pressure 26 psig.

The area around the hatch experienced vertical cracking due to hoop stresses. The maximum crack width was 0.013" at 60.2 psig.

No significant cracking was evidenced on the boss area. Most of the cracks developed on the transition zone and at the intersection of the transition with the boss area. All cracks closed to 0.005" or smaller after depressurization.

i-SB-1 SIT Page No. 10-19

c

b. Personnel Airlock Area I

(Ref. Figures 4a and 4b of Appendix I)

No cracks were developed up to and including pressure 26'psig.

At 39 psig, cracking started to develop on the transition ,

zone and at the intersection of the transition zone with the boss area. The maximum crack widths in the designated area were 0.012". However, two larger cracks were observed beyond the designated area at pressure 60.2 psig. These cracks were located at the intersection of the boss area with the transi-tion zone (@ 9 o' clock and 3 o' clock). The crack @ 9 o' clock location had widths 0.03" to 0.04"; widths of similar cracks located @ 3 o' clock were 0.05" to 0.06". Except those two large cracks, all cracks closed to 0.003" or smaller after depressurization.

10.5.4 Recovery After Depressurization I

The final crack measurements were taken about 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> after de-pressurization. All cracks closed tighter after depressurization.

Except two large cracks near the personnel airlock, all crack widths closed to 0.005" or smaller af ter depressurization. The crack at 9 o' clock near the personnel airlock closed to 0.007" -

0.015" (minimum 62.5% recovery) and the 3 o' clock crack closed to 0.02" (66.7% recovery). The 24-hour recovery of crack widths is much better as evidenced by the posttest inspection report (Appendix K).

10.5.5 Summary The crack pattern plots are shown in Appendix I. As predicted, vertically oriented cracks developed at about 39 psig pressure due to high hoop stresses. The maximum crack widths recorded were 0.015". This excludes two large cracks observed beyond the desig-nated area near personnel airlock at pressure 60.2 psig. Horizon-

! tal cracks were not significant and widths of horizontal cracks were less than 0.01". All crack patterns are satisfactory. All cracks closed tighter on depressurizat. ion, thus indicating elastic behavior.

11.0 EVALUATIONS J

11.1 Accuracy of Measurements As discussed in Section 10.0, the overall behavior of the Contain-ment structure during the SIT was satisfactory and was in good agreement with the predicted behavior.

A total of sixty-six (66) instruments were used to measure various displacements of the Containment structure. Appendix I contains a list of test exceptions. Ten (10) channels were identified to have some problems during the SIT. Three (3) DCDT's (IG4, IG98, IG22) were definitely inoperative; data from IG25 were scattered and questionable. Problems (i.e. wrong polarity, incorrect scale factor etc.) associated with the remaining six channels (IG3A, IG10, IG20, IG26, IG27, IG28) were resolved, and data were corrected l accordingly in Appendix 1.

For a detailed discussion of test (instruments) exceptions, see Appendix I. In summary, only four i

channels out of a total of sixty-six gave incorrect data measure-ments during the SIT. A discussion on deviations, dispositions and corrective actions is given in the following sections:

11.2 Deviations, Dispositions and Corrective Actions 11.2.1 General All but one (IG26 @ 52 and 60.2 psig) measured values for the SIT are less than the acceptable values established from analyses.

The four channels ~ which did not give correct data have no effects to .

draw positive conclusion with respect to the acceptance of the Containment structural integrity.

i 11.2.2 Cylinder Radial Displacements All measured radial displacements (Table 10-L) are less than the accepta: ale values. Twenty-two (22) ins truments were used to measure cylinder . radial displacements / diametrical growth. Only two channels (IG4 at El. 114.58' and IG9B at El. 33.0') were inoperative. However, displacements at these elevations are

~ based on data from the functional DCDT's at the respective eleva-tions. Since IG4 (El. 114.58') was inoperative, radial measured displacements at El. 114.58' are based on data from IG3A and IG3B (both at El. 114.58'); measured displacements at IG3A and IG3B are in good agreement. Similarly, measured radial displace-ments at El. 33.0' ~are based on data f rom IG9A (El. 33.0'), IGIO (El. 33.0') and IGil (El. 31.5'), excluding defective channel I'G9B . Readings from IG9A, IG10 and IG11 are in good agreement.

The 20-hour radial displacement recovery at IG3A is 58.2% which is

' less than 24-hour minimum recovery of 70% per CC-6213c; this is attributed to instrument error because the displacement recovery of similar instrument.IG3B is about 80%.

Based on comparison of measured data to predicted values and acceptance' criteria,.it is concluded that no corrective action is required and the acceptance criteria of CC-6213 is satisfied.

11.2.3 Cylinder Radial Displacements Adjacent to Equipment Hatch All measured radial displacements are less than the predicted /

acceptable values (Table 10-2). All instruments (R1 through R12) were operational and functional. No deviatione, are reported.

SB-1 SIT Page No. 11-2

i 11.2.4 Cylinder Radial Displacements Adjacent to Personnel Airlock All measured radial displacements are less than the predicted /

acceptable values (Table 10-4). All instruments (R13 through R24) were operationaJ and functional. No deviations are noted.

11.2.5 Diameter Changes of Equipment Hatch and Personnel Airlock Equipment Hatch The horizontal deformations .(Table 10-3 and Appendix I) of the equipment hatch opening at pressures 52 and 60.2 psig are about 8.2% and 16.4% higher than the respective acceptable values.

This deviation occurred because the predicted / acceptable values were based on uncracked concrete sections. At higher pressures, minor cracking occurred on thickened concrete around the opening, I thus reducing the stiffness and increasing deformations. For detailed discussions, see Sections 10.2 and 10.4.4. Vertical deformations from IG25 were scattered and questionable. However, vertical deformations are so small that they are subject to error.

Deflection recovery percentage (Table 10-8) of the hatch opening deformation was very good. Based on explanation and the dis-position for ' apparent deviation'given in Sections 10.2 and 10.4.4, it is concluded that no corrective action is required.

Personnel Airlock All measured deformations are less than the predicted / acceptable values (Table 10-5). The magnitudes of all deformations are very small due to the stiffening effect of the boss area. Computer printout had elevation identifications for IG26 and 27 transposed.

This problem was corrected af ter 52 psig and all data presented are the corrected ones.

1 11.2.6 Cylinder and Dome Vertical Displacements All measured vertical disp.lacements for the cylinder and the dome are significantly lower than the predicted values (Tables 10-6, 10-7). This deviation is on the conservative side. Sections 10.2, 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 provide explanations for such discrepan-cies. It is concluded that the actual concrete tensile strength during the SIT was auch higher than the assumed value used in analyses and this contributed to the higher predicted values.

As noted earlier, channel IG22 on .the cylinder was inoperative.

Data from functional channels IG20, IG21 and IG22 are in good agreement and are used to obtain cylinder vertical displacement near the spring line with respect to the base mat. Initially there was a problem (Appendix I) with the printout of the calcu-lated dome deflections due to an inappropriate data format. This' I problem was corrected af ter 39 psig pressurization data scan and all data reported in Appendix I are the corrected ones. As dis-cussed in Section 10.4.8, the pattern of dome displacements is in agreement with the predicted one. Deflection recovery after depressurization is very good as indicated by the data presented ,

in Table 10-8. Based on the above, it is concluded that no correc-

. tive action is required.

11.2.7 Concrete Behavior Concrete crack patterns monitored and recorded during the SIT do not indicate any unusual conditions. The maximum widths of cracks (excluding two large cracks near the personnel airlock) detected at the peak pressure 60.2 psig were 0.015" which is well below the acceptable limit of 0.035" (Appendix C). All cracks closed to 0.005" or smaller after depressurization.

, l

The two localized cracks at 3 o' clock and 9 o' clock on the edge of the boss transitions at the personnel airlock were larger (widths 0.03" to 0.06") than cracks on the balance of the shell. The local discontinuities in geometry (thickness) and rebar pattern (bending around the opening)' localized the concrete cracking with resulting greater widths at these two discrete zones. The recovery (closure) of these cracks was consistent with that of the balance of the shell indicating elastic behavior. As such the performance is predictable and acceptable, and no corrective action is necessary.

Additionally, final posttest surveys of the concrete surface were made to determine whether there were any visible signs of permanent damage or localized distress due to pressurization. Concrete surface appearances remained unchanged from those observed during the pretest inspections. Therefore, it is demonstrated that the concrete surface is sound and was not affected by internal pressure

11.2.8 Special Conditions (Ref. Appendix L)

Multiple in-line Cadwelds Multiple in-line cadwelds exist on some rebars in areas shown on Sheets A7 and A9.1 (Appendix C), and respective crack pattern plots for these areas are shown in Figures 1, 6a and 6b (Appendix I). The maximum crack widths (0.015") were recorded in area near the electr-cal penetrations (Figure 6a). This is well below the acceptance value of 0.035". Multiple in-line cadwelds did not result in large cracks local to the area; small cracks were distributed over the area. All cracks closed to 0.005" or smaller after depressurization.

a Potential Voids behind Liner Plate at El. (-) 23.0'. Az. 350' Channel IG29 was provided to evaluate behavior of the liner plate at above location where potential voids were identified. The measured maximum displacement 0.193" is within the acceptable value 0.24" (Table 10-1). Additionally, the deflection recovery (Table 10.8) af ter depressurization was 86% of the maximum deflection. The plate did not show any evidence of permanent damage or local dis-tress due to pressurization. This is a positive indication of the elastic behavior of the liner plate.

11.3 Safety Margin The concrete Containment structure responded satisfactorily to the internal pressure loads as designed . This is evidenced by the

( satisfactory overall displacements, the concrete crack pattern (extent and wid'th), satisfactory recovery of the structure and no signs of any permanent damage or local distress. Displacements are the most reliable measure of performance of the Containment structure. Additionally, it is found that the' actual concrete tensile strength is considerably higher than the design value. All stresses under the SIT conditions (load combination D+P t ) are within the design allowables; test pressure Pe (60 psig) is 15% higher than the design accident pressure Pa (52 psig). Moreover, the Contain-i ment structure was designed for load combination D+1.5 P a'Per Division 2. Therefore, the eiccellent performance of the Containment structure gives a positive assurance that the safety margin relative to the design accident pressure exceeds at least 50%.

Note, the design of the Containment structure is based on require-ments of Division 2; it considers material properties as the speci-

, fied minimums (rather than actual), and the role of liner plate is not considered as a strength element. .
