Box 2000 PAB-2M Decatur, AL 35609 Approved by Alan J. Bilanin Prepared by Milton E. Teske August 2009 This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Proprietary Information Executive Summary Measured strain gage time-history data in the four main steam lines at Browns Ferry Nuclear Unit 1 (BFN1) were processed by a dynamic model of the steam delivery system to predict loads on the full-scale steam dryer. These measured data were first converted to pressures, then positioned on the four main steam lines and used to extract acoustic sources in the system. A validated acoustic circuit methodology was used to predict the fluctuating pressures anticipated across components of the steam dryer in the reactor vessel. The acoustic circuit methodology included a low frequency hydrodynamic contribution, in addition to an acoustic contribution at all frequencies.
This pressure loading was then provided for structural analysis to assess the structural adequacy of the steam dryer in BFN 1.This effort provides BFN I with a dryer dynamic load definition that comes directly from measured BFN1 full-scale data and the application of a validated acoustic circuit methodology, at a power level where data were acquired.

- 1. Introduction In Spring 2005 Exelon installed new stream dryers into Quad Cities Unit 2 (QC2) and Quad Cities Unit 1. This replacement design, developed by General Electric, sought to improve dryer performance and overcome structural inadequacies identified on the original dryers, which had been in place for the last 30 years. As a means for confirming the adequacy of the steam dryer, the QC2 replacement dryer was instrumented with pressure sensors at 27 locations.
These pressures formed the set of data used to validate the predictions of an acoustic circuit methodology under development by Continuum Dynamics, Inc. (C.D.I.) for several years [1].One of the results of this benchmark exercise [2] confirmed the predictive ability of the acoustic circuit methodology for pressure loading across the dryer, with the inclusion of a low frequency hydrodynamic load. This methodology, validated against the Exelon full-scale data and identified as the Modified Bounding Pressure model, is used in the effort discussed herein.This report applies this validated methodology to the Browns Ferry Nuclear Unit 1 (BFN1) steam dryer and main steam line geometry.
Strain gage data obtained from the four main steam lines were used to predict pressure levels on the BFN1 full-scale dryer at Current Licensed Thermal Power (CLTP). In addition, bump-up factors, obtained from subscale test data[3], were used to modify the CLTP strain gage data to predict the pressure levels on the BFNI full-scale dryer at 120% of Original Licensed Thermal Power (OLTP).

- 2. Modeling Considerations The acoustic circuit analysis of the BFN1 steam supply system is broken into two distinct analyses:
a Helmholtz solution within the steam dome and an acoustic circuit analysis in the main steam lines. This section of the report highlights the two approaches taken here. These analyses are then coupled for an integrated solution.2.1 Helmholtz Analysis A cross-section of the steam dome (and steam dryer) is shown below in Figure 2.1, with BFNl dimensions as shown [4]. The complex three-dimensional geometry is rendered onto a uniformly-spaced rectangular grid (with mesh spacing of approximately 1.5 inches to accommodate frequency from 0 to 250 Hz in full scale), and a solution, over the frequency range of interest, is obtained for the Helmholtz equation alp a 2 p a 2 p W2 2 S-+ z 2 +--P =V2P+-a 2 P=o where P is the pressure at a grid point, (o is frequency, and a is acoustic speed in steam.7 j f g Figure2.1.

Proprietary Information This equation is solved for incremental frequencies from 0 to 250 Hz (full scale), subject to the boundary conditions dP dn normal to all solid surfaces (the steam dome wall and interior and exterior surfaces of the dryer), dP ico dn a normal to the nominal water level surface, and unit pressure applied to one inlet to a main steam line and zero applied to the other three.2.2 Acoustic Circuit Analysis The Helmholtz solution within the steam dome is coupled to an acoustic circuit solution in the main steam lines. Pulsation in a single-phase compressible medium, where acoustic wavelengths are long compared to transverse dimensions (directions perpendicular to the primary flow directions), lend themselves to application of the acoustic circuit methodology.
If the analysis is restricted to frequencies below 250 Hz, acoustic wavelengths are approximately 8 feet in length and wavelengths are therefore long compared to most components of interest, such as branch junctions.
Acoustic circuit analysis divides the main steam lines into elements characterized, as sketched in Figure 2.2, by a length L, a cross-sectional area density p, a fluid mean flow velocity U, and a fluid mean acoustic speed a.which are each A, a fluid mean-A -element cross-sectional area 0 L -I Xn Figure 2.2.

- 3. Input Pressure Data Strain gages were mounted on the four main steam lines of BFN 1. Two data sets were examined in this analysis.
The first data set recorded tlhe strain at Current Licensed Thermal Power (100% power level or CLTP), and the second data set recorded the strain at near-zero voltage on the strain gages (EIC noise) at CLTP. The data were provided in the following files: Data File Name Power Level Voltage 20070608155619 100% 10.0 V 20070608155258 100% 0.01 V (EIC)The strain gage signals were converted to pressures by the use of the conversion factors provided in [5] and summarized in Table 3.1. Exclusion frequencies were used to remove extraneous signals, as also identified in [5] and subsequent emails, and summarized in Table 3.2.The electrical noise was removed by applying the function PS(()= PSN(o)I P"N(0) 1 I )SN (O)where Ps(co) is the CLTP signal PSN(CO) corrected for electrical noise PN(CO), computed as a function of frequency (o, and IPN(O)/PsN(O)l can be no larger than 1.0. These signals were further processed by the coherence factor and mean filtering as described in [2]. Coherence at CLTP is shown in Figure 3.1.The resulting main steam line pressure signals may be represented in two ways, by their minimum and maximum pressure levels, and by their PSDs. Table 3.3 provides the pressure level information, after removal of EIC and exclusion filtering, while Figures 3.2 to 3.5 compare the frequency content at the eight measurement locations.
The frequency content around 218 Hz has been removed from the signals plotted here, in anticipation of the use of inserts in the blank standpipes on main steam lines A and D [3] to mitigate this load.5 This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc.

Results The measured main steam line pressure data were used to drive the validated acoustic circuit methodology for the BFN1 steam dome coupled to the main steam lines to make a pressure load prediction on the BFN1 dryer. A low resolution load, developed at the nodal locations identified in Figures 4.1 to 4.4, produces the maximum differential and RMS pressure levels across the dryer as shown in Figure 4.5. PSDs of the peak loads on either side of the dryer are shown in Figure 4.6.13 This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Proprietary Information Figure 4.1.

- 5. Uncertainty Analysis The analysis of potential uncertainty occurring at BFN 1 consists of several contributions, including the uncertainty from collecting data on the main steam lines at locations other than the locations on Quad Cities Unit 2 (QC2) and the uncertainty in the Modified Bounding Pressure model. QC2 dryer data at Original Licensed Thermal Power (OLTP) conditions were used to generate an uncertainty analysis of the Acoustic Circuit Methodology (ACM) [2] for BFN 1.The approach taken for bias and uncertainty is similar to that used by Vermont Yankee for power uprate [6]. In this analysis, six "averaged pressures" are examined on the instrumented replacement dryer at QC2: averaging pressure sensors P1, P2, and P3; P4, P5, and P6; P7, P8, and P9; P1O, P11, and P12; P18 and P20; and P19 and P21. These pressure sensors were all on the outer bank hoods of the dryer, and the groups are comprised of sensors located vertically above or below each other.Bias is computed by taking the difference between the measured and predicted RMS pressure values for the six "averaged pressures", and dividing the mean of this difference by the mean of the predicted RMS. RMS is computed by integrating the PSD across the frequency range of interest and taking the square root I I (RMSmcasured
-RMSpredicted)
BIAS = N (5.1)1N- E M predicted where RMSineasured is the RMS of the measured data and RMSpredicted is the RMS of the predicted data. Summations are over the number of "averaged pressures", or N = 6.Uncertainty is defined as the fraction computed by the standard deviation 1 Z (VRMSmeasured

- 6. Bump-Up Factors for 120% OLTP Power Subscale testing [3] provides the data with which to develop bump-up factors that relate unsteady main steam line pressures at CLTP conditions to those anticipated at 120% OLTP power. This bump-up factor, for each strain gage location, is applied to full-scale CLTP strain gage data collected on the main steam lines to obtain an estimate of the full-scale 120% OLTP power strain gage data near the standpipe/valve excitation frequency expected.
A velocity-squared bump-up factor is used when removed from the excitation frequency.
The 120% OLTP power strain gage data is then used to estimate steam dryer stresses at this power level, using the acoustic circuit model for dryer loads and a finite element model of the dryer for stress predictions.
The selected subscale.tests are identified in Table 6.1.The bump-up factor is calculated as a function of frequency (averaging the two CLTP data results and the two 120% OLTP data results), converted from subscale to full scale, with the equation Bump-Up Factor IPSD 2 0 (6.1)-PSDCLTP and involves dividing the 120% OLTP PSD at each frequency by the CLTP PSD at that frequency, and taking the square root. This equation is used for each of the eight strain gage locations in the frequency interval from 100 Hz to 120 Hz, thereby encompassing the anticipated standpipe/valve excitation frequency interval.
Outside this interval, a velocity-squared bump-up factor of 1.35, based on anticipated and actual in-plant flow rate at BFN 1, is used. The resulting bump-up factors are plotted in Figure 6. 1.The bump-up factor at each strain gage location is used to multiply the strain gage readings at that location in the plant at CLTP conditions, on a frequency-by-frequency basis, to obtain the estimated main steam line strain gage readings at that location in the plant at 120%OLTP power. The subsequent dryer loads developed from the acoustic circuit model would be provided to a finite element model of the dryer for stress predictions at 120% OLTP power.22 This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc.
