DRESDEN - UFSAR Rev. 8   June 2009    10.3-1 10.3 MAIN STEAM SYSTEM The Unit 2 main steam system (MSS) is shown on Drawing M-12, and Unit 3 MSS is shown on Drawing M-345. The main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) are further discussed in Section 6.2. The safety relief valves (SRVs) are discussed in Section 5.2.
10.3.1 Design Bases

The performance objective of the main steam piping is to supply steam to the turbine-generator from the reactor vessel. To achieve this objective, the main steam piping was originally designed using the following bases:
Design pressure and temperature     1250 psig at 575
&deg;F   Piping design code         USAS B-31.1 

Since then the piping has been re-evaluated at uprated power conditions and found to be satisfactory.
10.3.2 Description The main steam piping consists of four lines which carry the reactor generated steam to the main turbine. Each steam line is equipped with two isolation valves, one on each side of the primary containment wall, and a combination flow restrictor and flow measuring venturi located between the reactor and the first isolation valve. The rated steam flow that the main steam line piping was originally designed to handle is 9.8 x 10 6 lb/hr at 965 psia. Unit operation would be permitted above rated steam flow rate and up to 9.90 x 10 6 lb/hr. Since then the piping has been re-evaluated at uprated power conditions and found to be satisfactory.
The MSS piping from the reactor vessel to the turbine is dynamically designed. The internal and external design load combinations and criteria are addressed in Chapter 3.
Design, fabrication, and installation of the main steam piping are summarized in Table 10.3-1.
In addition to providing steam to drive the main turbine, the MSS also provides steam to the following: 

A. Turbine gl and seal system,    B. Steam jet air-ejectors,  C. Off-gas recombiner system, and D. Liquid radwaste reboiler. 

Downstream of the outboard isolation valves, the four main steam lines are connected by a 30-inch diameter main steam equalizing header. Two 18-inch diameter lines connect the equalizing header to either end of the turbine bypass DRESDEN - UFSAR Rev. 5   January 2003    10.3-2 manifold. From the turbine bypass manifold, nine 8-inch lines connect to the turbine bypass valves, which discharge to the main condenser through horizontal perforated pipes located immediately below the tube bundles. The perforations are directed downward onto the condensate in the collecting trays. A maximum of 33.5% of rated steam flow can be bypassed to the main condenser.
From the main steam equalizing header, each of the four main steam lines passes through main steam stop valves and turbine control valves, then discharges to the high-pressure turbine.
Drains are provided at several locations along the main steam system to drain condensate from the line and return it to the condenser. 

The main steam stop valves are described in Section 10.2. Steam pressure and flow measuring devices are described in Chapter 7.  

10.3.3 Evaluation Leakage from the MSS into the steam tunnel is evaluated in Section 15.6. 

Evaluations of the MSS response to seismic and pipe break events is contained in Chapter 3. 

Dynamic loading of the main steam piping following turbine stop valve fast closure under extended power uprate conditions is discussed in Section 3.9.3.1.3.5. 

10.3.4 Inspection and Testing Requirements

Inspection and testing for the main steam piping are essentially the same as those described in Section 5.2 for the primary process piping in general.
Portions of the main steam system within the primary containment are provided with removable thermal insulation to enable periodic inspection in accordance with the Technical Specifications.
Components and piping for the MSS were originally hydrostatically tested in accordance with ASA B-31.1. Inspection and acceptance standards were in accordance with ASME Code, Section VIII. All circumferential butt welds for 21/2-inch diameter piping and larger were specified to be 100% radiographed in compliance with paragraph UW51 of ASME Code, Section VIII. 

Inservice inspection (ISI) of the MSS is outlined in Section 6.6. Testing of the main steam stop valves is addressed in Section 10.2. Testing of the MSIVs is addressed in Section 6.2.
The opening times of the main turbine bypass valves are measured after any maintenance is performed that may affect the operation of the bypass system but at least once per refuel outage prior to unit startup. The results are used to confirm that the appropriate bypass valve opening times were used to establish the OLMCPR, which is presented in the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR). 10.3.5 Water Chemistry Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR)

This section is not applicable to Dresden Station.
DRESDEN - UFSAR Rev 4    10.3-3 10.3.6 Steam and Feedwater System Materials The condensate/feedwater and main steam system piping, fittings, and valves connected to the reactor pressure vessel from and including the first weld at the vessel to and including the first isolation or shut off valve conform to ASME Section I. This piping is constructed of A 106 Grade B. The feedwater piping maximum wall thickness is 1.375 in. The main steam piping has a maximum wall thickness of 1.031 in. 

The condensate and feedwater systems are described in Section 10.4.7.
10.3.6.1 Fracture Toughness

The 1965 edition of the code does not require impact testing nor does the original specification or ASTM specification. Current ASME Section III for class I components require impact testing. The Dresden Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) compared the original testing requirements of the feedwater and main steam piping from the reactor vessel to the outermost isolation valve with the later code which requires impact testing if certain exemptions are not met. An exemption for a material is permitted if the lowest service temperature (LST) exceeds 150
&deg;F. The LST is defined as the calculated minimum metal temperature whenever the pressure within the component exceeds 20% of the preoperational system hydrostatic test pressure. Due to the high service temperature, well above 150
&deg;F, feedwater and main steam piping brittle fracture is not a problem and fracture toughness testing is not required. 

10.3.6.2 Materials Selection and Fabrication

The materials selected for the main steam and feedwater piping, within the scope of the design specifications (including pipes, fittings, flanges, bolts, and valves), were originally in accordance with ASA B-31.1, which specified approved ASTM Specifications. The welding procedures are in accordance with ASME Code, Section IX. Austenitic stainless steel is not used in the main steam or feedwater piping.
