INTRODUCTION For all operating light water reactors, calculated neutron flux distributions within the pressure vessel wall are used, in conjunction with damage trend curves, to predict the degree of embrittle' ment of the reactor vessel steel over its service life. Embrittlement gradients are in turn used to determine pressure-temperature limita-tions for normal plant operation as well as to evaluate the effect of various heatup/cooldown transients on vessel conditions. Since the initial design of the Yankee Rowe reactor, significant improvements have been made in neutron transport methodology, in the application of that methodology to large PWR's, and in the cross-section data bases which are used as input to the computations. This report des-cribes a discrete ordinates Sn transport analysis using current method-ology which was performed for the Yankee Rowe reactor in order to pro-vide updated distributions of fast neutron (E > 1.0 Mev) fluence within the pressure vessel. s I i l

METHOD OF ANALYSIS A plan view of the Yankee Rowe reactor geometry at the core midplane is shown in Figure 1. Since the reactor exhibits 1/4 core symmetry only a 00 - 900 sector is depicted. The model shown in Figure 1 was developed from Westinghouse drawings 646J500, 549D155, 646J692, 540F839, and 540F857; and from Babcock and Wilcox drawing 45109E. In the analysis of the neutron environment within the geometry shown in Figure 1, predictions of the neutron flux magnitude ar.d energy spectrum were made with the D0T II) two dimensional discrete ordinates code. The computation was perfonned in the R,0 mode and was nonnalized to the time averaged power density at the reactor core midplane. The analysis employed 21 neutron energy groups, an 56 angular quadrature, and a P) expansion of the scattering cross-sections. The cross-sections were generated via the Westinghouse GAMBIT (2) code system with fine group to broad group processing carried out by the APPROPOS(3) and ANISN(41 codes. The final broad energy group structure used in the analysis is listed in Table 1. Reactor core power distributions for use in this analysis were supplied by Yankee Atomic Electric Company (5) . The supplied information included radial assembly power distributions for core cycles XII, XIII, XIV, and XV as well as mid-cycle pin power distributions for those assemblies located on the periphery of the core. To develop a power distribution for input to the DOT calculation the assemblywise power distributions were linearly averaged over the four core cycles. The assembly powers for each cycle as well as the four cycle average are listed in Table 2 and superimposed on Figure 1. To provide power density gradients in the peripheral fuel assemblies, the pin power distributions from cycle XV were employed. An axial peak to average ratio of 1.2 was then applied to the input power distributions.

              . Although the Yankee Rowe reactor is truly 1/4 core symmetric, an examina-
            '   tion of Figure i shows that the deviation from 1/8 core symetry is quite small. Power density differences are on the order of 3% and geometric differences occur only locally in the areas of the core baffle and thermal shield support structures.

Based on these small differences, the decision was made to perform the transport calculations based on 1/8 core symmetry. This approach pennits the use of a much finer spatial mesh to describe the reactor internals which in turn produces better results. To insure conservatism in the 1/8 core mockup, the geometry in the 00 - 45 0 0 sector was employed with the power densities from the 45 - 90 sector. That is, the higher power densities were used in conjunction with the geo-metry having the least steel between the core and the pressure vessel. The net effect of this approximation should be no more than 3 - 5 percent. A schematic of the actual geometry and power distribution used in the analysis is shown in Figure 2. The geometric model used in the transport calculations is described in I Figure 3 and in Tables 3 and 4. Figure 3 shows the detailed mesh cell description of the geometry while the dimensions of the radial and azimuthal mesh boundaries are provided in Tables 3 and 4. respectively. In all, a 159 radial by 51 azimuthal mesh grid was employed to describe the problem geometry. m e

RESULTS OF ANALYSIS Results of the neutron transport analysis of the Yankee Rowe reactor are sunnarized in Figures 4 and 5 as well as in Table 5. In Figure 4, the calculated maximum fast neutron (E > 1.0 Mev) flux levels at the pressure vessel inner radius,1/4 thickness and 3/4 thickness loca-tions are presented as a function of azimuthal angle. As stated in the preceding section, these flux values are based on a reactor core power of 600 MWt and,an axial peak to average ratio of 1.2. In Figure 5, the predicted maximum and of life fast neutron (E > 1.0 Mev) fluence for the Yankee Rowe reactor is given as a function of radial position within the vessel wall. This data was based on an assumed operating lifetime of 24 effective full power years. That is, a design life of 30 calendar years with an assumed capacity factor of 80%. Again, an axial peaking factor of 1.2 has been applied to the calculation. In Table 5, the fast neutron (E > 1.0 Mev) fluence at the pressure vessel surface,1/4 thickness location, and 3/4 thickness location is summarized as a function of full power operating time.

ADEQUACY OF THE ANALYTICAL METHOD The accuracy of the calculations described in this report depends on the ability to define appropriate core power distributions, the adequacy of the cross-section libraries, and on the appropriateness of the transport model itself. Taken as a whole, these factors combine to yield an over-all uncertainty in the analytical results. The overall Westinghouse analytical methodology described in this report has been compared with measurements obtained a! a number of operating PWR's. These comparisons have been described in the open literature (6, 7)but will also be summarized here. Figures 6 and 7 depict a comparison of the calculated activity of four fast neutron detectors with measurements obtained from reactor vessel sur-veillance capsules removed from nine 2-loop PWR's. The calculations are in good agreement with the measured data. Since these monitors respond to different portions of the neutron energy spectrun, the agreement is an indication that both the energy spectra an- flux magnitudes are being determined well by the analytical method. Figures 8 and 9 also show comparisons of calculations with measurements of fast neutron flux. In this case, the data were obtained external to the reactor vessel in the air gap between the vessel and the biological shield. The data shown in Figure 8 were obtained at a 4-loop reactor; while the data in Figure 9 were obtained at a 3-loop reactor. Again, the agreement between calculation and measurement is excellent. Based on the comparisons presented in Figures 6 through 9, it is concluded that the Westinghouse design method is appropriate for the analysis of large PWR's and that the results presented in this report may be applied with confidence to the Yankee Rowe reactor. i ! r i
