EVALUATION OF DISPLACEMENT AT MAIN FEEDWATER RESTRAINT SR4 IN THE TROJAN NUCLEAR PLANT 1

l 1.

BACKGROUND l

Inspections of EBB-3-1-SR4 during the 1987 outage indicated that SR4 was l

loaded in compression.

After the load on the strut was released, the piping displaced.033".

2.

EVALUATION The residual stresses from original construction cold spring and from residual weld stresses will produce initial system shakedown during the first few years, resulting in piping displacements from initial locations.

Subsequent changes in system operation such changes in themal movements of

)

the steam generator or changes in support hardware characteristics will

(

result in further system shakedown.

In 1979, SR4 failed and was replaced with a snubber.

1 In 1982, the snubber was replaced with a strut.

Since 1982, changes which would likely result in shakedown and small displacements in the line include:

a.

Reshimming the steam generator restraints b.

Refurbishment of the steam generator snubbers c.

System operation for about 3 years with a snubber in place of a strut at SR4 d.

Normal nonlinearities and aging of the pipe support hardware The observed displacement of 0.033" was evaluated to detennine its impact on piping stresses and hanger load. The calculated pipe stress was 619 psi and the hanger load at SR4 was 0.371 kips. These stresses and loads, when added to the other normal stresses and loads, are well within the stress allowable of 15,000 psi and the restraint normal design load of 6 kips.

3.

CONCLUSION The piping movement identified on the loop A MFW line of 0.033 inches has been evaluated.

The observed small displacement is consistent with what could be expected from no'rmal system thermal shakedown and non linearities of the system.

The resulting impact on the system is bounded by the design capability.
