1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to perform an ASME Code,Section III fatigue usage calculation for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) feedwater (FW) nozzle at Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS).

2.0 METHODOLOGY The methodology to be used for this evaluation was established in a previous calculation package

[1], and is summarized herein. A previously-developed finite element model (FEM) is analyzed using the ANSYS program [2]. Thermal transient analysis is performed for each defined transient, and the thermal stresses are added to stresses due to pressure and piping loads, which are scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and piping loads. Stress concentration factors (SCFs) are applied as appropriate. All six components of the stress tensor are used for stress calculations.

The fatigue calculation is performed at previously-examined locations, and uses the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3]. Environmental fatigue usage analysis will be performed in a separate calculation package.

3.0 DESIGN INPUTS 3.1 Finite Element Analysis' A previous calculation package specifies all design input [1]. The FEM input file is taken from the previous analysis of the FW nozzle [4, file FW.INP], and modified to include temperature-dependent properties [1, Table 5]. The modified file is named FW-GEOMINP, and is used as input to the files in which the thermal transient and stress analyses are performed. Figure 1 shows the. FEM [4, Figure 4].

For the thermal transient ANSYS analysis, previously defined thermal transients [1, Table 1] are analyzed, applying heat transfer coefficients [1, Tables 4 and 6] as appropriate based on flow rate.

Bounding reactor temperature is used for Transients 12/13/15 [ 1, Table 1], called Transient 13 herein. (In VESLFAT, Transient 13 is run separately since it has a higher reactor pressure.) For ramps during which the flow rate undergoes a ramp change [5, Attachment 1, p. 3], the set of heat transfer coefficients with the largest values is used. This is done because ANSYS always applies changes to the heat transfer coefficients as step changes, even if the temperature undergoes a ramp change.

Note that, for three time periods during Transient 11 [1, Table 1], the nozzle is filled with steam at Region A temperature [5, Attachment 1, p. 3, Note 1], such that heat transfer coefficients for condensation apply [1, Table 6]. Since it takes a finite amount of time for the water to drain and condensation to begin, the condensation heat transfer coefficients are not applied until the load step after the Region A temperature is reached.

Stress analysis is performed using the temperature distributions calculated in the thermal transient ANSYS analysis as input. At the vessel wall, Y displacement is set to zero, and X displacement is File No.: VY-19Q-302 Page 3 of 12 Revision: 0 F0306-O1RO

unconstrained, as was previously done [6, Figure 4]. At the FW pipe, Y displacement is coupled to account for the adjacent piping, as was previously done [6, files FWSVY 25.INP, FWSVY 40.INP, and FWSVY 100.INP]. Figure 1 shows the locations of these boundary conditions.

For the nozzle comer location, the stresses used in the evaluation are for the base metal only; that is, the cladding material is unselected prior to stress extraction. The stress components from the thermal stress analyses are combined with stress components due to pressure and piping loads. A unit pressure stress analysis was performed using ANSYS in a previous calculation package [6], and stress component results are taken from that analysis [6, files PSE.OUT and PBLEND.OUT]. Piping load stress components are taken from previous calculations using closed form solutions [1, Table 7].

Figure 2: Linearization Paths SCFs are applied to the pressure and piping load stress components to yield primary plus secondary membrane plus bending stress components (P+Q) and the total (primary plus secondary plus peak) stress components (P+Q+F) as specified in the methodology calculation package [1].

3.3 Fatigue Usage Analysis, General The VESLFAT program [7] is used to perform the fatigue usage analysis in accordance with the fatigue usage portion of NB-3200 [3]. VESLFAT performs the analysis required by NB-3222.4(e)

[3] for Service Levels A and B conditions defined by the user. The VESLFAT program computes the primary plus secondary and total stress ranges for all events and performs a correction for elastic-plastic analysis, if appropriate.

The program computes the stress intensity range based on the stress component ranges for all event pairs [3, NB-3216.2]. The program evaluates the stress ranges for primary plus secondary and primary plus secondary plus peak stress based upon six components of stress (3 direct and 3 shear stresses). If the primary plus secondary stress intensity range is greater than 3 Sm, then the total stress range is increased by the factor Ke, as described in NB-3228.5 [3]. The value of Sm is specified as a function of temperature. The input maximum temperature for both states of a load set pair is used to determine the temperature upon which Sm is determined from the user-defined values.

When more than one load set is defined for either of the event pair loadings, the stress differences are determined for all of the potential loadings, saving the maximum for the event pair, based on the pair producing the largest alternating total stress intensity (Salt), including the effects of K,. The principal stresses for the stress ranges are determined by solving for the roots of the cubic equation:

S3 _ ((ix + (iyY+ Cos)$ + (CYxCTy + (iY (7z + (iz (ix - 7xy 2 -X1x2 _ Tyz2 )s

- ((ix Cy (iz + 2 rTxy*Txz Tyz - Yz 2,_

.- (iy z22 - IxZryz 2 )o The stress intensities for the event pairs are reordered in decreasing order of Salt, including a correction for the ratio of modulus of elasticity (E) from the fatigue curve divided by E from the analysis. This allows a fatigue table to be created to eliminate the number of cycles available for each of the events of an event pair, allowing determination of fatigue usage per NB-3222.4(e) [3].

For each load set pair in the fatigue table, the allowable number of cycles is determined based on Salt.

For the VYNPS FW nozzle analysis, transients that consist of both upward and downward temperature and pressure ramps are split so that each successive ramp is treated separately. Table 1 shows the transients as input to VESLFAT [1, Table 1]. The numbers of cycles in Table 1 are entered in VESLFAT input files VFAT-1LCYC (safe end) and VFAT-21.CYC (nozzle corner).

• Since this transient does not affect the FW nozzle, it is not considered in the cyclic evaluation.

• • Note that stress peaks may occur after the start of the subsequent ramp.

3.4 Material Properties, VESLFAT Material properties are entered in VESLFAT input files VFA T-1I.FDT (safe end) and VFAT-21.FDT (nozzle comer). Table 2 lists the temperature-dependent material properties used in the analysis [1, Table 5] [8], and Table 3 lists the fatigue curve for the nozzle and safe end materials [3, Appendix I, Table 1-9.1 and Figure 1-9.1 ]. VESLFAT automatically scales the stresses by the ratio of E on the fatigue curve to E in the analysis, for purposes of determining allowable numbers of cycles, as required by the ASME Code.

StructuralIntegrity Associates, Inc.

• Other Stresses: Contains calculation of pressure and piping load as shown in Tables 4 and 5.

• Rearranger: There are 16 Rearranger sheets, one for each transient as analyzed by ANSYS.

In these sheets, thermal stresses are copied from Excel workbook StressResults.xls, which contains the results of the ANSYS stress linearization for each transient, and rearranged to conform to'VESLFAT input format (including switching the shear stress components Sxz and Syz as required by VESLFAT). Time-varying scale factors for the piping loads (based on FW nozzle fluid temperature) and pressure are determined, and used to scale the unit load stresses, which are then added to the thermal stresses. Time-varying pressure is also included in the VESLFAT stress input. The VESLFAT stress input also includes time-varying metal temperature, from the ANSYS output, which is used to determine temperature-dependent properties from the values in Table 2.

• VESLFAT: Contains the VESLFAT stress input, obtained from sheets named Rearranger.

Load set numbers are entered on this sheet, as defined in Table 1. These sheets are saved to VESLFAT input files VFAT-1I.STR (safe end) and VFAT-2I.STR (nozzle comer). To avoid double counting of stress states, the initial time steps of each load set before the firststress peak are not included.

The files with extension STR are edited if necessary to remove some intermediate stress points, since VESLFAT has a limit of 3,000 total stress states.

5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS Tables 6 and 7 give the detailed fatigue usage results for the safe end and the nozzle comer, respectively, from VESLFAT output files VFAT-1I.FAT (safe end) and VFAT-2LFAT (nozzle comer). All VESLFAT input and output files are saved in the project computer files.

6.0 CONCLUSION

S AND DISCUSSIONS A previously-developed FEM was analyzed using the ANSYS program. Thermal transient analysis was performed for each defined transient, and the thermal stresses were added to stresses due to,.

pressure and piping loads, which were scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and piping loads. SCFs were applied as appropriate. All six components of the stress tensor were used for stress calculations. The fatigue calculation was performed at previously-examined locations, and used the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code.

The 60-year CUF for the safe end location was determined to be 0.0571, and the CUF for the nozzle comer location was determined to be 0.0889. Both values are less than the ASME Code allowable value of 1.0.

Environmental fatigueusage analysis will be performed in a separate calculation package.
