==1.1 BACKGROUND==
AND INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF ACOUSTIC ISSUES AND REQUIREMENTS
[]a,c NRC Regulatory Guide 1.20, Rev. 3 (Reference 1), contains requirements for demonstrating the structural integrity of the steam dryer at power levels higher than CLTP. []ac WCAP-17548-NP August 2013 Revision 2 1-2 1.2 REPLACEMENT OF THE STEAM DRYER I]a.bc a,c Figure 1-1 Schematic of Replacement Steam Dryer I []a~b.c I abc WCAP-1 7548-NP August 2013 WCAP-17548-NP August 2013 Revision 2 1-3 1.3 PURPOSE This report details the signal processing methods used for processing MSL strain gauge data, and the RSD instrumentation data gathered to support the benchrnarking of the Acoustic Circuit Enhanced (ACE)technique used to qualify the steam dryer for acoustic loads at EPU operating conditions.
To this end, a summary of the data collection and recorded data at Monticello is contained in this document.Furthermore, specific datasets are shown and discussed in detail with regard to the signal processing performed.
The intention of presenting these data is to demonstrate the effect, and support the use, of the signal processing described herein.This report also details the methods applied to the processed CLTP acoustic signature to create a predicted EPU signature.

The signal was divided up into time ensembles with the same number of lines as the sampling frequency, resulting in a 1 Hz frequency resolution in the final PSD. A Harming window was used to reduce spectral leakage, and 50 percent overlap was used to increase the number of ensembles available for averaging.

AND INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF ACOUSTIC ISSUES AND REQUIREMENTS []a,c NRC Regulatory Guide 1.20, Rev. 3 (Reference 1), contains requirements for demonstrating the structural integrity of the steam dryer at power levels higher than CLTP. []ac WCAP-17548-NP August 2013 Revision 2 1-2 1.2 REPLACEMENT OF THE STEAM DRYER I]a.bc a,c Figure 1-1 Schematic of Replacement Steam Dryer I []a~b.c I abc WCAP-1 7548-NP August 2013 WCAP-17548-NP August 2013 Revision 2 1-3 1.3 PURPOSE This report details the signal processing methods used for processing MSL strain gauge data, and the RSD instrumentation data gathered to support the benchrnarking of the Acoustic Circuit Enhanced (ACE)technique used to qualify the steam dryer for acoustic loads at EPU operating conditions. To this end, a summary of the data collection and recorded data at Monticello is contained in this document.Furthermore, specific datasets are shown and discussed in detail with regard to the signal processing performed. The intention of presenting these data is to demonstrate the effect, and support the use, of the signal processing described herein.This report also details the methods applied to the processed CLTP acoustic signature to create a predicted EPU signature.

The signal was divided up into time ensembles with the same number of lines as the sampling frequency, resulting in a 1 Hz frequency resolution in the final PSD. A Harming window was used to reduce spectral leakage, and 50 percent overlap was used to increase the number of ensembles available for averaging.
