1-1 1          INTRODUCTION 1a~c To satisfy the requirements of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commiss ion (NRC) Regulatory Guide 1.20, Revision 3 (Reference 2), an analysis must be performed to demonstrate the structural integrity of reactor internal components,[
        ]a~c Current industry experience has shown that increasing power in a boiling water reactor (BWR) by increasing the steam speed in the MSLs may lead to pressure increases above the expected increase from the increase in dynamic pressure. [I

From November 2014 till June 2015, Monticello went through power ascension from 1775 MWt to 2004 MWt thermal power. During the power ascension, time-history recordings were taken from 64 strain gages (SGs) installed on MSLs at each of the following approximate power levels:[

The main purposes for processing the Monticello data are as follows.

3-1 3       DATA PROCESSING PLAN AND RESULTS EPU power ascension MSL strain gauge data were collected by MNGP and provided to Westinghouse.
The processing that was performed on the data is described in the following sections. All filtering operations, as well as the processing for the data comparisons, were performed using custom MATLAB programs. These are documented in Reference 13. The processing methodology applied to the Monticello MSL strain gauge data was consistent with the benchmarking of the prediction of acoustic pressures using MSL strain gauge data described in Reference 14.

5-1 5       DISCUSSION OF RESULTS 5.1     DATA ANALYSIS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING OF MSL STRAIN GAUGE DATA AT [               ]a~ THERMAL POWER 5.1.1   Evaluation of Raw MSL Strain Gauge Plant Data The raw time domain data and spectrograms from the MSL SG instruments were plotted and evaluated for channels that showed no data, or data that showed noticeable transients. If an MSL strain gauge channel showed no data, it was removed from processing.[

Similar results are observed for all other channels shown in Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4. Except, time history and PSD curve of channel 5 show elevated noise, and therefore this channel was also excluded from processing.

5 -23 5.2     EVALUATION OF PLANT ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE The evaluation of the plant acoustic signature is performed by examining the PSDs and the RMS pressure trends. The PSDs are derived as described in Section 3.6, and the RMS pressures are derived per the methodology detailed in Section 3.5.
