SUMMARY

In accordance with the Drif ted States Nuclear Regulatory Comission Regulatory Guide 1.20 (Rev. 2) a Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program (CVAP) has b:en developed for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1. This plant is prototypical of Combustion Engineering's 3800 MWt System 80 pressurizer water reactor (Figure I).

The purpose of the CVAP is to verify the structural integrity of the reactor internals to flow induced loads prior to commercial operation. The dynamic flow related loads considered are associated with normal steady state operation and anticipated operating transients.

This comprehensive program, for a reactor prototype, consists of four individual Analysis, Measurement, Inspection, and Evaluation programs. The Analysis program provides theoretical evidence of the structural integrity of the internals and serves as a basis for both the Measurement and Inspection programs. Results of these programs form a basis for assessing, in the Evaluation program, the margin of safety for the reactor internals.

This report contains a summary of the Analysis program and descriptions of the Measurement and Inspection programs.

Analyses have been completed for the flow induced loading dynamic response of the two safety related assemblies; the core barrel support assembly (core support barrel and lower support structure) anri upper guide structure assembly (Figure I). These analyses consider both random (e.g. turbulence) and deterministic (e.g. periodic pump induced pressure pulsations and vortex shedding related to cross flow velocity) flow related loads. The magnitude and frequency of the ficw induced loads are a function of the thermal and hydraulic operating conditions. In addition, structural frequencies vary with temperature due to variations in hydrodynamic mass. An evaluation of both the loading and the response showed pre-core flow conditions to be conservative.

Therefore dynamic response was calculated at pre-core conditions corresponding to normal operation with four pumps at the hot stand-by temperature of 564*F.

xvi Response predictions were also done at combinations of flow (pump number) and temperature, occurring during pre-operational testing, that are not considered conditions of normal operation.

Standard modal analysis techniques were used to determir.e the forced response of the assemblies and their components. The appropriate set of equations describing the free vibration motion of the structure were solved to obtain its normal modes and frequencies. Hydrodynamic effects were included, for the core support barrel, by solving the coupled fluid-structure problem, and for the upper guide structure and lower support assemblies, by incorporating a hydrodynamic mass. Dynamic forces on the assemblies consisted of flow induced excitation due to both random and periodic variations in pressure. These forces were then used to obtain the forced vibration response to both random and deterministic flow induced excitation.

Maximum predicted stresses, summarized in Table I, are the alternating stress intensities due to flow induced dynamic loads predicted for CVAP test conditions corresponding to normal operation. Stresses were based on ex-pected, or best estimate, values of flow. A margin for fatigue was defined as the ratio of the endurance limit stress to predicted stress. A margin of safety greater than one indicates that the internals are adequately designed to avoid fatigue damage due to flow induced loads. For flow induced loads at test conditions of normal operat.on,the margins of safety are summarized in Table I.

A measurement program was developed based on results of these analyses. The purpose of this program is to obtain data on both random and deterministic cxcitation (pressure) and structural response (displacement, strain acceleration). Instrumentation, consisting of pressure transducers, strain gages, accelerometers, and displacement transducers have been specified for each of the assemblies. A summary of the instrumentation is given in Table II. Instrumentation locations are shown schematically in Figures II, III, and IV.

Testing will be done at all steady state and transient (pump startup and shutdown) conditions corresponding to normal and part loop operation.

xvii Additional tests will be done to verify the hydraulic forcing functions used in the analysis. Transducer signals will be conditioned and recorded on magnetic tape for post test reduction and analysis. Response during testing will be monitored by online evaluation of the spectral content of these signals. Root mean square values of all the signals related to structural response will be computed following each test and compared to an acceotance criterion based on the endurance stress from the ASME Code.

A pre-core inspection of the internals will be done before initiation and after completion of all pre-core flow tests. In both cases the internals will be positioned to permit visual inspection of the specified locations. Major load bearing surfaces, contact surfaces, welds, maximum stress locations identified in the analysis program and the CVAP instrumentation, mountings, and conduits will be examined. A photographic record will be made of all observations. A minimum of[. 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> of pre-core flow testing will be completed to insure that the components are subject to a minimum of 10 6 cycles of vibration before inspection.

The Evaluation program will include analysis and critical review of the data required in both the Measurement and Inspection programs and comparison of these

! data with predictions of the Analysis program. This evaluation will include an assessment of the methods used to predict the response of the internals to dynamic forces and the resulting margins of safety. Preliminary and final l reports of this evaluation will be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, within the time limits specified in Regulatory Guide 1.20, after completion of all precritical testing.

An overview of the Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program, showing the inter-relationship between the four individual programs, is presented schenatically

1-1 1.0 SYSTEM 80 PROTOTYPE COMPREHENSIVE VIBRATION ASSESSMENT PROGRAM 1.1 Introduction A comprehensive vibration assessment program (CVAP) has been developed for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1, in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.20, Rev. 2 (Ref.1). This reactor is classified as the prototype for Combustion Engineering's System 80 NSSS design. Therefore, this program, is intended to satisfy the requirements of a CVAP for a prototype reactor as defined in Ref.1. Reector vessel arrangement is shown in Figure 1.1-1.

The purpose of the CVAP is to verify the structural integrity of the reactor internals to flow induced vibrations prior to commercial operation. This program is to be implemented during pre-operational and initial start-up testing of Palo Verde Unit 1.

The comprehensive program includes four separate, yet complementary, programs. These programs include; an analysis program to predict the dynamic excitation and response of the internals from flow induced dynamic loads, a measurement program to obtain experimental data with which to compare these to predictions, a visual inspection of specific areas for evidence of wear and, finally, a comprehensive evaluation of the results of the analysis, measurement, and inspection programs to judge the adequacy of the predictive methodology.

l The reactor internals related to safety are designed to accommodate both static and dynamic design loads. These design loads include both static and dynamic flow induced loads related to normal operating and anticipated transients and mechanical excitation due to the operating base earthquake (OBE). Stresses due to these loads must, at design conditions, satisfy limits based on preventing overstressed conditions due to static loads and fatigue damage due

1-2 to dynamic loads. A design margin of safety for static loads is defined on the basis of the ratio of maximum allowable stresses, as defined in the ASME Code, to predicted stresses being greater than one. For dynamic loads, margin is defined in terms of a usage, or cumulative damage, factor which must be less than one. A suunary of these design calculations for System 80 are given in Ref. 2.

Intent of the CVAP is to show that the internals will not suffer damage due to fatigue caused by flow induced excitation. Thus, the measured response e.g., stress should be below the design values and in agreement with the predictions.

The objective of the CVAP is to compare the measured hydraulic excitation and dynamic response with the predicted values. These predictions are based on expected, or best estimate flow rates. The best estimate flow with the core is less than without the core, and flow induced loads are higher for pre-core conditions than post-core. Thus flow induced loads for the CVAP are conservative with regards to the loads the internals are subjected to under best estimate conditions fc' long term normal operation.

Since CVAP testing is required for a minimum of 106 cycles of structural vibration a criteria for fatigue damage can be defined on the basis of the endurance limit for the material. This limit is the value of stress for the material at 106 cycles. If for a specific class of transients the peak stress (stress concentration factor times maximum alternating stress) is less than the endurance limit, the structure can undergo an infinite number of cycles. The usage factor, defined as, Cycles for Specific Transient Usage Factor = Maximum Number of Cycles is then zero. Hence a margin of safety for ficw induced loads, for the CVAP, can be defined on the basis of the ratio of the endurance limit divided by the peak alternating stress.

1-4 1.2 CVAP Program The CVAP consists of four separate programs (a) analysis program, (b) measurement program, (c) inspection program, (d) evaluation program.

This report documents results of the analysis program and describes the measurement and inspection programs.

These programs include:

(a) Analysis Program Analytical and empirical methods are used to predict the steady state and transient flow induced loads or forcing functions. Dynamic response of the reactor internals components are then analytically determined for those forcing functions which correspond to pre-operational and initial start-up, test, and normal operating conditions. A description of the internals is given in Section 2.0. The methods employed in these analyses are described in Section 3.0.

This program includes theoretical predictions of the forcing functions and associated structural responses, definition of test acceptance criteria, and the basis for the establishment of the criteria. Results of this program are summarized in Sections 4.0 through 5.0.

(b) Measurement Program This program includes an experimental program incorporating accelerometers, pressure transducers, and strain gages, which will permit the recording of time dependent accelerations, pressures, and strains at specific locations. The type, number, and position of the instruments are based upon the results of the analysis program. These measurements will be made during pre-core,

1-5 pre-critical, testing. General locations of the measurement program instrumentation are shcwn in Figure 1.2-1. Details of this program are presented in Section 6.0.

Data are recorded on magnetic tape, on a time history basis, for subsequent reduction using methods of random data analysis. In addition on-line evaluation of the data is done at each test condition. This evaluation includes an assessment of the spectral content of the signals and a comparison of the RMS values of the structural response with the acceptance criterion, discussed in Section 7.0.

(c) Inspection Program A visual inspection program, including photographic documentation, is to be implemented at both the start and conclusion of the vibration measurement program. Specific locations will be inspected for evidence of contact and wear and for effects of vibration. These locations include contact and potential contact surfaces between all major load bearing reactor internal components, highly stressed locations identified in the analysis program, lateral, vertical, and torsional restraints, locking and bolting components, specific welds, and CVAP instrumentation housings, mountings, and conduits.

Testing will be of sufficient duration to assure satisfaction of the requirement that critical components be 6

subjected to a minimum of 10 cycles of vibration before post test inspection. Description of the inspection program is given in Section 8.0.

(d) Evaluation Program A report will be issued following completion of pre-critical testing to document and evaluate results of the measurement and inspection programs. This report will include a comparison between the measured and analytically

CVAP INTERNALS ASSEMBLY

1-7 determined responses and excitations to demonstrate the validity of the analytical techniques. An evaluation of the CVAP results with respect to design and test acceptance criteria will also be made to verify the margin of safety associated with normal steady-state and anticipated transient operation over the service life of the reactor.

1.3 Test Conditions Reference 1 states that CVAP testing be done under conditions of normal operation (e.g. steady state, four pump operation) and anticipated transients (e.g. pump start-up and shutdown).

Part loop operation at temperatures less than hot standby (564*F) is not considered to be normal operation. However, flow related loads are proportional to both flow velocities and temperature e.g.

turbulence levels are related to kinetic head (1/2 o v2 ) while pump related periodic pressure pulsations are acoustic in nature and are related to the speed of sound in the coolant. Thus dynamic loads and the resulting dynamic response may change at conditions of flow and temperature different from normal operation. Conditions of both flow and temperature must be varied to verify the relationships for the flow induced excitations used in the analysis.

Consequently, test conditions, in addition to those at normal operation, have been specified that correspond to points in the pre-core hot functional test procedure (Ref. 41) at which information on system operation is to be recorded. Test conditions at which data will be recorded and for which flow induced loads and forced response have been predicted are listed in Table 1.3-1.

1.4 Pre-Core and Post-Core Testing CVAP testing can be done without the core if it can be shown that this condition results in higher response as compared to the post-core conditions. Dynamic response, due to flow induced loads, is a function of the magnitude, frequency and distribution of the load

1-9 and the response characteristics, e.g., modal frequency and mode shapes of the structure. A candition that results in a larger magnitude for the flow related load and a frequency of the load close to a modal frequency of the structure will, in general, produce a larger response. In this section, the effects of the core on the vibration characteristics of the components and the hydraulic loading are discussed to determine the more conservative test condition.

The presence of the core has two main effects; (a) change in the coolant velocity in the various regions of the reactor, mainly due to the increased hydraulic resistance, (b) changes in the natural frequencies of some structures due to the additional mass of the Core.

The effects of these changes on the loading and response of each component are discussed as follows.

1.4.1 Core Support Barrel I 1.4.1.1 Hydraulic Loads l

Due to the larger pre-core system flow, the velocities in the

, downcomer annulus are higher (Table 1.4-2). Random pressure i

l fluctuations due to turbulence are proportional to the kinetic head. Kinetic head being higher for pre-core than post-core conditions, the random excitation is higher for the pre-core conditions.

I Since the pump induced pressure pulsations are acoustic in nature, l they are independ?nt of the coolant flow and are a function of temperature only. The pre- and post-core conditions are equivalent l in this case.

l i

l

1-10 1.4.1.2 Natural Frequencies Beam and shell mode frequencies of the core barrel with and without the core are given in Table 1.4-1. The presence of the core is accounted for by considering it as a lumped mass located at the bottom of the CSB. This additional mass has the effect of reducing the beam mode (m=1, n=1) frequency as shown in Table 1.4-1. For the shell modes (m > 2), however, the situation is complicated because of hydrodynamic mass effects. Because of the absence of the core in the pre-core conditions, the hydrodynamic mass is larger than for the post-core conditions. This is the reason why certain shell mode frequencies are lower for the pre-core conditions (see Table 1.4-1.)

Turtulence related pressures are broad band in nature, though there are indications (Ref. 33) that the energy is concentrated within a frequency band related to the downcomer velocity. Even so, the core l barrel fundamental frequency falls within this frequency band both with and without core (Table 1.4-1). Therefore, the icwering of the fundamental frequency has little effect on the random response.

The periodic pressure pulsations occur at multiples of the pump rotor (20 Hz) and blade passing frequencies (120 Hz). These frequencies are above the beam mode frequency of the core barrel, with or without core. However, the beam mode frequency is higher at pre-core conditions thus closer to the 20Hz rotor frecuency. The l more easily excited lcwer shell mode frequencies are, in addition, closer to the excitation frequencies for the pre-core condi tions.

1.4.2 Lower Support Structure 1.4.2.1 Hydraulic Loads The hydraulic loads considered here are pump induced periodic pulsations, vortex shedding, and random pressures due to turbulence.

. s s

1-11 As stated earlier, pump induced pressure loads are not affected by the core.

The vortex shedding periodic loads on the ICI tubes are a function of crossflow velocity and velocity head. Therefore, the vortex -

~

shedding loads are a function of system primary flow and ve1ocity distribution in the lower plenum. The increased primary system flow (Table 1.4-3) during pre-core operating conditions would tend to maximize the vortex shedding loads. The lower plenum velocity distribution, discussed below, would also tend to maximize the ICI tube crossflow velocity at pre-core operating conditions. Therefore the ICI tube vortex shedding periodic loads would be at a maximum at pre-core operating conditions.

The random loads on the ICI tubes are due to turbulent buffeting caused by jets formed by the coolant passing through the flow sxirt flow holes. These random loads are thus a function of the crossflow velocity in the lower plenum. _

The absence of the reactor core does have an effect on the lower plenum flow distribution. Flow model tests (Ref.14) indicate removal of the core results in higher flow into the central region of the lower plenum. This results in higher crossflow velocity past the ICI tubes during the pre-core operating conditions.

. The increased flow and higher flow skirt jet ' velocities at pre-core conditions results in larger hydraulic loading on the ICI tubes than at post-core conditions.

1.4.2.2 Natural Frequencies  ;

The presence' of core has minimal effect on the natural frequencies associated with the ICI tubes' and their support structure. Thus its frequen'cy response characteristics should be identical for both pre- and post-core conditions.

4 s

1-12 1.4.3 Upper Guide Structure Assembly 1.4.3.1 Hydraulic Loads Pump induced periodic pressure pulsations and turbulence related random pressures are considered here.

The periodic loads are not significantly altered due to the change in the flow velocities because of the removal of the core. However, the pump induced periodic loads are attenuated as they pass through the core region and thus should be higher without than with the core.

The random loads on the CEA shroud *,ubes are caused by turbulent buffetting related to crossflow velocity. Test data from flow tests on a 1/4 scale model of the CEA shroud tube region indicates that dynamic response is a function of the crossflow velocity and the velocity head. The factors which affect these parameters are the primary system flow rate and the upper plenum flow distribution.

The flow distribution approaching the fuel alignment plate is essentially identical for pre-core and post-core operating condi tions. Therefore, at pre-critical conditions, the pre-core operating conditions are more severe due to the larger primary system flow rate.

As shown in Table 1.4-4, at post-core full power conditions velocities in the CEA shroud tube region are higher than those achieved at pre-core conditions. This is because the increase in coolant specific volume that results from the coolant temperature rise through the core is greater than the decrease in primary system mass flow rate between pre-core and post-core conditions.

Differences in the coolant velocity could have an effect on flow induced response of the shroud tubes. A group of cylindrical tubes, subject to crossflow, can experience large amplitude motions at a velocity above some threshold value. The fluid-elastic mechanism by which this occurs is distinct from periodic vortex shedding (Ref.

30). This threshold, or critical velocity is a function

1-13 of tube frequency, damping, fluid density, and tube mass, diameter and spacing. Extensive tests have been done at C-E on both a re-duced number of full size tubes (Ref. 22) and a 1/4 scale model of the CEA shroud tube region (Ref. 31). These latter tests indicate this threshold velocity to be 80 ft/sec. This results in a calcul-ated margin of ,

between the threshold and the design velocity.

This threshold velocity is larger than the crossflow velocity at either the pre- or post-core conditions (Table 1.4-4). Pre-core velocities being higher than post-core values, pre-core conditions are conservative with respect to being closer to the threshold velocity for fluid-elastic motion.

1.4.3.2 Natural Frequencies The presence of the core results in a compressive load on the CEA shroud tubes. This compressive load being substantially less the buckling load, the effect on the frequency is minimal. Hence the natural frequencies are virtually equal for both pre- and post-core conditions.

1.4.4 Sunnary Based on this evaluation it is concluded that:

1. Pre-core flow rate being higher than post-core, the random loads, which are proportional to kinetic head, are larger at pre-core conditions, while the frequency bands for the random loads are unchanged.
2. While the core may reduce the magnitude of the pump induced periodic loads (e.g. on the CEA tubes) their frequencies are unchanged by the presence of the core.
3. Periodic forces related to fluid velocity (e.g. vortex shedding) are higher in magnitude and closer to a modal frequency of the ICI tubes for pre-core conditions.
4. CEA shroud tube frequencies are unchanged by the core. Thus the higher pre-core flow results in cross flow velocities closer to the threshold value for fluid elastic motion.

1-14

5. Except for the core barrel, the modal frequencies of the structures are unaffected by the core. For the core barrel, modal frequencies are higher without the core and closer to those !

of the pump rotor and blade passing frequencies, i

Thus pre-core conditions will result in higher response than post-core conditions.

1-19 1.5 Stress Margins General design methodology requires calculation of structural response e.g. stresses, to both static and dynamic loads. The design stress values, expressed as stress intensities, are then compared to material stress limits tabulated in the ASME Code (Ref. 5). These design stresses must be less than the limits specified to demonstrate that the design is adequate for its design life.

Structures are designed to prevent total component failure as well as localized fatigue failure. To assure the former, the ASME Code requires that the values of primary membrane (Pm),

bending (Pb) and secondary (Q) (e.g. thermal) stress intensities must meet the following criteria at the design condition:

Primary Membrane; Pm s Sm Primary Membrane + Bending; Pm + Pb s1.5 Sm Primary Membrane + Bending + Secondary; Pm + Pb + Q $3 Sm where Sm is the design stress intensity for the particular material (Figure 1.5-1A).

The ratio of ASME Code allowable stress divided by the design stress intensity can be defined as the design margin. This margin must be greater than or equal to one for all three of the above condi tions.

Dynamic loading conditions, result in cyclical stresses, for which the ASME Code requires a fatigue analysis. A comparison is made of the value of peak alterr.ating stress with limits dictated by an allowable alternating stress versus maximum number of cycles (S-N curve) for the material (Figure 1.5-1B). The ratio of actual cycles for the event producing these loads to the maximum number of cycles defines the usage factor. The cumulative damage, or sum of usage factors for all dynamic events, must, by the Code be less than one.

1-20 The reactor internals are designed to meet both the total component and fatigue limits; the ratios of maximum allowable to calculated design stresses are greater than one and the sum of the usage factors are less than one.

1.5.1 Design Conditions The System 80 core support structures are designed to meet ASME Code criteria for both normal operation and faulted conditions (Ref. 2).

For normal operation the loads are based on a sunnation of conservative values for the mechanical, thermal, and hydraulic loads, determined at 4 pump,100% power conditions plus the Operational Base Earthquake (08E).

These design loads are calculated at the steady state conditions of; Design Pressure 2,500 psi Design Temperature 650*F Design Flow 516,900 GPM (116% of best estimate flow) and for the following transient events; Event Lifetime Cycles Plan Heatup - 100*F/hr. 500 Plant Cooldown - 100*F/hr. 500 Plant loading - 5%/ min. 15,000 Plant Unloading - 5%/ min. 15,000 Normal Plant Variations 10% Step Load Increase 10% Step Load Decrease } 10 6 Pressure, Temperature Variations Reactor Trip 400 Loss of Reactor Coolant Flow 40 Loss of Load 40 Operational Basis Earthquake (OBE) 200 Flow Induced Dynamic Loading (Periodic (40 years) x f n*

and Random)

Results for the design conditions at normal operation are summarized in Tables 1.5-1 and 1.5-2 from Ref. 2.

f nis the frequency of component at which the response is a ma ximum.

1-21 1.5.2 CVAP Test Conditions Distinction must be made between design conditions for normal operation and actual, or expected, normal operating conditions.

Design conditions for normal operation include conservative assumptions regarding both static and dynamic thermal and hydraulic loads in addition to including OBE loads. Normal operating conditions as used in this report, refer to the best estimate conditions of flow and inlet temperature corresponding to four pumps operating at 100% power.

CVAP test conditions are representative of the normal operating conditions of flow and temperature the internals will be subjected to over the design life of the reactor. These best estimate conditions will result in both static and dynamic loads significantly lower than the design values. Main emphasis of the CVAP is to predict and verify that the core support structures will not be subject to fatigue damage caused by flow induced dynamic loads over their design life. Thus any valid comparison between predictions and test can only be made on the basis of best estimate values of flow.

Regulatory Guide 1.20 requires that the 'nternals be subjected to a 6

minimum of 10 cycles of flow induced loading. The value of 10 6 is based on the definition of endurance limit as the value of 6

alternating stress at 10 cycles on the S-H curves for a material (Ref. 5). If the alternating stress is below this limit, fatigue damage will be zero for the structure.

Hence in addition to the commonly used measures of fatigue, usage factor and cumulative damage, a margin based on the endurance limit can be defined as,

2.0 DESCRIPTION

OF THE STRUCTURAL ASSEMBLIES This section describes briefly the reactor internals of a typical 3800 Mwt System 80 reactor. The structural assemblies that are of interest here are the ones that relate to the safety of the core; the Core Support Barrel Assembly, which includes the core support barrel and laver support structure, and the Upper Guide Structure Assembly (Figure 2.0-1).

2.1 Core Succort Barrel Assembly The major member of the reactor core support structures for all C-E designs is the core support barrel assembly which includes the core support barrel, and the lower support structure. The material for the assembly is Type 304 stainless steel.

The core support barrel assembly is supported at its upper end by the upper flange of the core support barrel, which rests on a ledge at the top of the reactor vessel. Alignment is accomplished by means of four equally spaced keys in the flange which fit into keyways in the vessel ledge and closure head. The lower flange of the core support barrel support and positions the lower support

structure and is attached to the lower support structure by means of a welded flexural type connection. The lower support structure provides support for the core as well as orientation for the lower ends of the fuel assemblies. The core shroud, which provides a flow path for the coolant, is also supported and positioned by the lower support structure. The Icwer end of the core support barrel is restricted from radial and torsional movement by six snubbers which interface with the reactor vessel wall.

2.1.1 Core Support Barrel The core support barrel is a right circular cylinder including a heavy ring flange at the top end and an internal ring flange at the Imver end. The core support barrel is supported from a ledge on the

2-3 reactor vessel. The core support barrel, in turn, supports the lower support structure upon which the fuel assemblies rest. Press-fitted into the flange of the core support barrel are four alignment keys located 90 degrees apart. The reactor vessel, closure head, and upper guide structure assembly flange are slotted in locations corresponding to the alignment key location to provide proper alignment between these components in the vessel flange region.

2.1.2 Lower Support Structure In the System 80 design, the lower support structure is a welded assembly consisting of a short cylinder, st,pport beams, a bottom plate, in core instrumentation (ICI) nozzles, and an ICI nozzle support plate. The short cylinder, which rests on the lower flange of the core support barrel, encloses a number of grid beams arranged in egg-crate fashion. The outer ends of these beams are welded to the cylinder.

Fuel assembly locating pins are attached to the beams. The bottoms of the parallel beams in one direction are welded to plates which contain flow holes to provide proper flow distribution. These plates also provide support for the ICI nozzles and, through support columns, the ICI nozzle support plate. The cylinder guides the main coolant flow and limits the core shroud bypass flow by means of holes located near the base of the cylinder. The ICI nozzle support plate provides lateral support for the nozzles. This plate is provided with flow holes for the requisite flow distribution.

2-4 2.2 Upper Guide Structure Assembly The Upper Guide Structure (UGS) assembly aligns and laterally supports the upper end of the fuel assemblies, maintains the control element spacing, holds down the fuel assemblies during operation, prevents fuel assemblies from being lifted out of position during a severe accident condition and protects the control elements from the effects of coolant cross flow in the upper plenum.

The UGS assembly consists of the UGS support barrel assembly and the CEA shroud assembly. The UGS assembly consists of the UGS support barrel, fuel alignment plate, UGS base plate and control element shroud tubes. The UGS support barrel is a right circular cylinder welded to a ring flange at the upper end and to a circular plate (UGS base plate) at the lower end. The upper side of this flange, which is the supporting member for the entire UGS assembly, seats against the pressure vessel head during operation. The lower side of the flange is supported by the holdown ring, which seats on the core support barrel upper flange. The UGS flange and the holdown ring engage the core support barrel alignment keys by means of four k eyway s. The fuel alignment plate is positioned below the UGS base plate by cylindrical control element shroud tubes. These tubes are attached to the UGS base plate and the fuel alignment plate by rolling the tubes into the plates and welding. The fuel alignment plate aligns the lower ends of the control element shroud tubes, which in turn locate the upper ends of the fuel assemblies. The fuel alignment plate also has four equally spaced slots on its outer edge which engage with Stellite hardfaced lugs protruding from the core shroud to provide alignment. The control element shroud tubes bears the upward force from the fuel assembly holdown devices. This force is transmitted through the control element shroud tubes to the UGS barrel base plate. The CEA shroud assembly limits cross-flow and provides separation of the CEA assemblies. The assembly consists of an array of large vertical tubes connected by vertical plates in a grid pattern. The shroud assembly is mounted on the UGS base plate and is held in position by eight tie

2-5 rod tube assemblies which are threaded into the UGS base plate at their lower end. The tie rods are bolted against plates located at the top of the CEA shroud assembly and are pretensioned. Guides for the CEA extension shafts are provided at the tops of the tubes.

The holddown ring provides axial force on the flanges of the upper guide structure assembly and the core support barrel assembly in order to prevent movement of the structures under hydraulic forces.

The holddown ring is designed to accommodate the differential thermal expansion between the pressure vessel and the internals in the vessel ledge region.

3-1 3.0 STRUCTURAL RESPONSE OF THE CORE SUPPORT ASSEMBLIES TO DETERMINISTIC AND RANDOM HYDRAULIC LOADS The methodology used to calculate the dynamic response of the core support structures to flow induced loads is divided into three parts; calculation of the hydraulic loads, or forcing functions, analysis of the structures to determine their modal characteristics, e.g. frequencies and mode shapes, and finally, calculation of the response e.g. displacement, strain, and stress.

3.1 General Methodology Dynamic response of the core support structure assemblies is a function of the magnitude, frequency, and spatial distribution of the flow induced loads and the modal frequencies and mode shapes of the assemblies. The procedures used to compute this response are shown in Figure 3.1-1.

The flow induced dynamic loads are classified as either deterministic or random according to their variation with time. The deterministic and random components are assumed to be uncorrelated; caused by independent sources. The hydraulic loads can thus be calculated separately for the deterministic and random sources of excitation. The methodologies used to compute these loads are snownin the left side of Figure 3.1-1.

The fluid and each assembly are dynamically coupled, the dynamic response of the structure influencing the fluid pressure distribu-tion on the structure. This coupling results in an additional inertial force on the structure. This added force appears analytically as a mass, proportional to fluid density, added to the mass of the structure, and the sum multiplied times the acceleration of the structure. With the use of this " hydrodynamic mass" the calculation of the hydraulic load can be uncoupled from calculation of the response. The modal characteristics of the structure in the fluid can then be found by including this

The response of a structure to a dynamic hydraulic load is a function of both the type of load (deterministic or random), its magnitude, frequency and spatial distribution and the modal characteristics of the structure. This response is the sum of the separate responses due to deterministic and random loads, and is calculated by the procedure shown in the lower portion of Figure 3.1-1.

3.1.1 Methods for Calculating Hydraulic Loads A complete description of either the deterministic or random loads includes information on their magnitudes, frequencies, and spatial distributions.

Two types of deterministic loads are considered in the analysis.

The first caused by pump induced variations in the coolant pressure and the second, vortex shedding, related to local cross flow velocities.

Pump pulsation loads are due to harmonic variations in fluid pressure caused by the reactor circulating pumps. These pulsations propagate throughout the system as acoustic waves, independent of fluid velocity. These pulsations occur at multiples of the pump rotor (20 Hz) and blade passing (120 Hz) frequencies. The magnitude and spatial distribution of these pressures are dependent on variations in the amplitude of the pump discharge pressure, phase difference between pumps, the number of pumps operating and in which of the four loops, geometry of the flow paths and the temperature dependent speed of sound in the liquid. A combination of

3-4 mathematical analysis, semi-empirical and empirical correlations are used to compute the magnitude, frequencies, and distributions of the deterministic loads caused by these pulsations.

Loads caused by vortex shedding are a function of local cross flow velocities, geometry and orientation of the structure, intensity of the turbulence and Reynolds Number. Their magnitudes, frequencies, and distributions are computed from correlations in the literature and developed from test results at Combustion Engineering.

Random loads are generated by flow turbulence. These loads include turbulent buffeting of the structures, which is a function of cross flow velocity, and turbulence induced variations in surface pressure, related to flow parallel to the surface. Because of their random nature, statistical methods are used to define both their magnitude and frequency content in the form of pcwer spectral densities (PSD). Spatial distributions are described by specifying areas and/or lengths over which these loads can be considered coherent. All random loads are assumed to be stationv and ergodic. The PSD representations, in the form of pim rc. v force squared, per unit frequency versus frequency, are taL.. rom test data and analytical predictions. The analytically derived distributions are assumed to be of constant amplitude (white noise) verusus frequency. ,

3.1.2 Structural Analysis Method The free-vibration frequencies and mode shapes of the assemblies, in air and water, are found using a variety of methods. These methods include finite element models, multiple degree-of-freedom lumped mass models and experimental data from both full size and scale l

models. The choice of particular method depends on the complexity of the structure and the nature of the hydrualic load.

3.1.3 Methods Jor Calculating Structural Response The dynamic response of any, particular assembly 'is the sum of' the separate responsess due to the deterministic and random loads. In either case, the response is a function of the magnitude of the load, its frequency. and spatial distribution, and the modal frequency and corresponding. mode shapes of the assembly. The functional relationshipi between the response and these factors are different depending whether the excitation is deterministic or random.

For deterministic loads, the steady state response and load have the same harmonic variation with time. The amplitude of the response, for any particular mode, is inversely proportional to the difference between'the squares of the modal and forcin5 frequencies, and

3-6 direcly proportional to a modal participation factor. The method of mode superposition is used to compute the total response when the structure has significant response at more than one mode. The response, being harmonic, is expressed as either the maximum or root mean square value.

The response to random loading is calculated using statistical methods developed for analyzing random vibrations. The product of the load, expressed as a PSD, and the frequency response characteristics, or transfer function, is integrated over a frequency range to obtain the mean square value (RMS value squared) of the response. Spatial variations in the load are accounted for by performing this integration over the area on which the load is assumed coherent.

The total response is the sum of the deterministic and random contributions. In cases chere the response is calculated using a finite element model, values of strain, displacement, and stress are obtained directly. Where lumped mass models are used, displacements assuming elastic behavior, are converted to strain and then to stress.

4-1 4.0 CALCULATION OF THE FORCING FUNCTION 4.1 General Methodology The analytical method employed assumes the hydraulic forcing functions, associated with the steady and transient operating conditions, can be separated into deterministic and random components.

Periodic loads of primary interest are those caused by pump induced pressure fluctuations. The forces are acoustic in nature, occurring at the harmonics of the pump rotor and blade passing frequencies l (BPF), independent of flow rate. In addition, some structures are subjected to flow induced forces related in frequency to cross flow velocity and magnitude to kinetic head (1/2 oV2 ),

Ficw induced random loads are primarily due to turbulence. The magnitude of these forces are normally proportional to the kinetic head, and occur over a broad range of frequencies.

Methods for developing the deterministic and random components of the hydraulic forcing function are discussed in this section. Where complex flow path cordigerations or wide variations in pressure distribution are involved, the hydraulic forcing functions are formulated using a combination of both analytical and empirical methods. The empirical methods utilize data obtained from plant tests and/or scaled model tests.

4.1.1 Transient Conditions Forced response analyses are done for each of the thermal and hydraulic conditions listed in Table 1.3-1. These conditions cover both steady state and transient operation in addition to intermediate conditions needed to verify the models related to ficw induced loads.

4-2 For the CVAP, the only transients considered important are due to pump startup and shutdown. These transients cause variations, with time, in flow rate and pump rotor and blade passing frequencies which could affect both the magnitude and frequency of the flow induced loads and the structural response.

The magnitude and frequency of the deterministic loads caused by pump pressure pulsations are independent of fluid velocity and thus unaffected by transient variations in flow rate. The increase or decrease in pump rotational frequency with time will, however, cause changes in the frequency of propagation of these pulsations. As discussed in Section 5.1.1, this will, in some cases, result in a momentary resonance condition between the force and the structure.

Hwever, the duration of this resonance should be short compared to the response time of the structure and not result in any significant amplification of the response.

Both the magnitude and frequency of the deterministic loads due to vortex shedding are functions of flow rate. However, the natural frequencies of the assemblies for which these loads are considered are higher than the vortex shedding frequencies. Thus resonance between the structure and the vortex shedding load will not occur for any of the CVAP test condition flow rates. Consequently transient variations in flow will not effect the response.

The magnitude of the random forces is proportional to kinetic head while its frequency content depends, to some extent, on flow vel oci ty. The magnitude can conservatively be calculated based on the steady state value of kinetic head, either before or after the transient, depending which condition results in the largest value.

The power spectral densities for the random loads are in general wide band, with maximum frequency at least equal to the maximum frequency at which structure has a significant response. Thus any minor variations in frequency content will not change the response.

r 4-3 Based on this evaluation, any differences in the magnitudes and frequencies of the flow induced loads from their steady state values, due to transiert changes in flow rate and pump rotational frequencies, should have no significant effects on the structural response. Consequently the magnitudes of the transient flow induced loads are assumed to be equal to their steady state values, either before or after the transient, and to occur at frequencies equal to their steady state values.

4.2 Core Supoort Barrel Assembly 4.2.1 Core Support Barrel

! 4.2.1.1 Deterministic Forcing Function An analysis based on an idealized hydrodynamic model (Ref. 6, 7, 36) is employed to obtain the relationship between reactor coolant pump pulsation in the inlet ducts and the periodic pressure fluctuations on the core support barrel. The model represents the annulus of coolant between the core support barrel and the reactor vessel. In deriving the governing hydrodynamic differential equation for the above model, the fluid is taken to be compressible and inviscid.

Linearized versions of the equations of motion and continuity are used. The excitation on the hydraulic model is harmonic with the frequencies of excitation corresponding to pump rotational speeds and blade passing frequencies. The result of the hydraulic analysis is a system of equations which define the forced response, natural frequencies and natural modes of the hydrodynamic model. The forced response equations define the spatial distributions of pressure on the core support barrel as a function of time. The details of this analysis are given in Appendix A.1.1.1.

4-4 4.2.1.2 Random Forcing Function The random hydraulic forcing function is developed by analytical and experimental methods. An analytical expression is develoced to define the turbulent pressure fluctuation for fully developed flow (Ref.13). This expression is modified, based upon the result of scale model testing (Ref.14,15) to account for the fact that flow in the downcomer is not fully developed. Based upon test results, an expression is developed to define the spatial dependency of the turbulent pressure fluctuations. In addition, experimentally adjusted analytical expressions are developed to define the peak value of the pressure spectral density associated with the turbulence and the maximum area of coherence, in terms of the boundary layer displacement, across which the random pressure fluctuations are in phase (Ref. 13, 14, 15). The transient behavior of the random fluctuations during pump startup and shutdown is assumed to be identical to that at steady state conditions. Details of the analysis are given in Appendix A.1.1.2.

4.2.2 Lower Support Structure Assembly The ICI nozzles and the skewed beam supports for the ICI support plate are excited by periodic and/or random, flow induced forces.

4.2.2.1 Deterministic Forcing Function The periodic component of this loading is due to pump related pressure fluctuations and vortex shedding due to crossflow. High intensity turbulence, caused by jetting through the flow skirt, makes it unlikely that regular vortex shedding will occur (Ref.

18). In spite of the high intensity turbulence, for conservatism, vortex shedding is assumed to occur. The maximum shedding frequency is below the lowest structural frequency for both the ICI nozzles and skewed beams. The magnitude and frequency of this periodic

4-5 force are accounted for based on dat. " the literature for crossflow over both vertical (Ref. 21) and skewed (Ref. 20) isolated tubes.

Derivation of pug frequency related loads is accoglished by assuming that these periodic pressure variations are propagated unchanged through the flow skirt from the lower portion of the core barrel - reactor vessel annulus. The magnitude of these pulsations is based on a combination of analytical predictions, based on Reference 6, and data from previous pre-critical vibration monitoring programs (Ref. 8, 9). See Appendix A.1.2.1.

4.2.2.2 Random Forcing Function The ICI nozzles and ICI support plate support beams are both subjected to turbulent buffeting by the flow skirt jets. The outermost ICI nozzles and beams receive full impact of the jets before the jets decay due to fluid entrainment and the presence of inner tube rows. The force spectrum of these jets is assumed to be represented as wide band white noise. The magnitude of this spectrum is based on data in the literature for impingement of turbulent jets (Ref.19, 25). This velocity dependent magnitude is applied to each tube, assuming no change in jet characteristics, between the outermost and inner tubes. The approach velocity for each tube is calculated from an analytical expression based on experimental data on the velocity distribution in the icwer portion of the reactor vessel-core barrel annulus and the flow skirt. See Appendix A.1.2.2 for details.

4.3 Upper Guide Structure The dynamic force on the upper guide structure assembly is mainly due to flow induced forces on the CEA shroud tubes.

4-6 4.3.1 Deterministic Forcing Function The periodic components of these forces can be caused by pressure pulsations at harmonics of the pump rotor and blade passing frequencies, and vortex shedding due to crossflow over the tubes.

A series of tests on full size tubes, at reactor pressure and temperature, indicated no evidence of perica. .artex shedding at the Reynolds Number and turbulence levels expected in the tube bank (Ref. 22). Thus, the only significant periodic force espected is that due to pump pulsations. Reactor pre-critical vibration monitoring test results (Ref. 27) were utilized to determine the magnitude of these pulsations at the pump rotor, twice the rotor, blade passing, and twice blade passing frequencies. See Appendix A.2.1.

4.3.2 Random Forcing Function Results of the full size tube tests (Ref.22) showed that at normal operating conditions the control element shroud tubes are excited by upstream and wake produced turbulent buffeting (Ref. 22, 23, 24, 31). The forcing function for this type of loading can be represented as a band limited white noise power spectrum (Ref. 22).

The magnitude of this spectrum is computed based on data from tests on the quarter-scale tube bank model (Ref. 31). The i esultant velocity dependent forces are used to compute the amplitude of the response and resulting stress levels. See Appendix A.2.2.

5-1 5.0 CALCULATION OF THE STRUCTURAL RESPONSE 5.1 General Methodology A variety of mathematical models (finite element or multiple degrees-of-freedom lumped mass models), which describe the structural assemblies, are employed to obtain the structural response to different loading conditions. Class 1 cal modal analysis methods are used to obtain the dynamic response. These require determination of tha natural vibration modes and the frequencies. The effect of fluid on these characteristic parameters is accounted for by either solution of the coupled fluid-structure problem or utilizing an added, or hydrodynamic, mass. Forced response to deterministic and random excitations is ebtained using the method of mode superposition. Subsequent sections describe in detail the analyses

! for different assemblies.

5.1.1 Transient Conditions

! It is recognized that during pump start up or shutdown, pump speed, and l

thus the frequencies of the periodic pressure pulsations, will va ry . These variations will result in forcing frequencies that pass through the natural frequencies of the structures. When this occurs peak amplitudes could be obtained that momentarily exceed those calculated for the steady state response. Based on a mechanically excited, lumped parameter, single degree-of-freedom analysis (Ref.

29), this transient response is inversely proportional to the rate of change of the forcing frequency and directly proportional to the modal frequency of the structure, squared. Thus, structures with low first mode frequencies like the core support barrel, will experience lower amplification than stff.#er structures; eg CEA shroud tubes. This has been verified by measurements taken during reactor coolant pump startup and shutdown transients, (Ref. 9) which showed no evidence of a resonance response for the core barrel.

5-2 No dynamic magnification has been assumed in the forced response analysis for the startup and shutdown transients. These transients have been analyzed applying the quasi-steady loads at the particular test condition (Section 4.1.2). Though this quasi-steady assumption is thmight conservative, instrumentation has been provided to monitor the response of the internals during these transients.

5.2 C,cre Support Barrel Assembly 5.2.1 Core Support Barrel-Analysis Procedure, including computer codes (Appendix B), for calculating dynamic response of the core support barrel are shown in Figure 5.2-1.

5.2.1.1 Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the CSB assembly, which form the basis for the forced response analysis, were obtained through the use of an axisymmetric shell finite element computer program ASHSD ( Appendix B.1). This computer program is capable of obtaining natural frequencies and mode shapes of complex axisymmetric shells; e.g., arbitrary meridional shape, varying thickness, branches, multi-materials, orthotropic material properties. An inverse iteration technique is utilized in the program to obtain solutions to the characteristic equation, which is based on a diagonalized form of consistent mass and stiffness matrices developed using the finite element method. Four degrees of l freedom - radial displacement, circumferential displacement, vertical displacement, and meridional rotation - are taken into account in the analysis, giving rise to coupled mode shapes and corresponding frequencies. The core support barrel is modeled as shown in (Figure 5.2-2). The structure is fixed at the upper flange to determine the beam modes and frequencies. The shell modes and frequencies are found by considering the upper flange fixed and the  ;

l 5-3 lower flange pinned. The frequencies in water are computed utilizing the computer code HYDRO. This code is based on a continuum approach to the hydrodynamic effects (Ref. 38).

5.2.1.2 Forced Response to Deterministic Loading l The nomal mode method is used to obtain the structural response of the CSB assembly to deterministic forcing functions. Generalized masses, based on mode shapes and the mass matrix from the ASHSD l finite element computer program, are calculated for each CSB mode of vi bration. Modal participation factors, based on the mode shapes and the predicted periodic forcing functions, are calculated for l each mode and forcing function. The generalized response for each mode is then obtained through solution of the corresponding set of uncoupled, second order, ordinary differential equations similar in form to single degree of freedom system equations. Utilizing displacement and stress mode shapes from the shell finite element computer program, the structural response of the CSB for each mode are obtained by means of the appropriate coordinate transformation s. Response to any specific forcing function is obtained through summation of the component modes for that forcing function. The general methodology is shown schematically in Figure 5.2-1.

5.2.1.3 Response to Random Excitation

, The random response analysis considers the response of the CSB assembly to the turbulent component of flow during steady-state operation. The random forcing function is assumed to be a wide-band stationary random process with force spectral density, S ,f measured in units of (force)2/(rad /sec). To obtain the root mean square (RMS) vibration level of the CSB assembly, the CSB assembly is taken to be a single degree of freedom system (" beam" mode). It follows that the RMS displacement level of the CSB assembly is given by (Ref. 8,13);

The frequencies for the

" beam" mode (n=1) and for the shell (ring) modes (m=2,3,4) are given in Table 5.2-1, 5.2-2. The pertinent beam mode shapes are plotted in Figure 5.2-3. CSB displacements appear as dotted lines in Figure 5.2-4. The shell modes are standard cos (m ) ring disto.'tions and as an example the first four mode shapes are shown in Figure 5.2-4.

A summary of the frequencies are shown in Figure 5.2-5.

5-5 5.2.1.4.2 Response to Deterministic Loading Deterministic loads on the CSB are caused by propogation of pump induced periodic variations in pressure through the reactor vessel-CSB annulus. The distribution, frequency and amplitude of these pulsations are discussed in Section 4.2.1.1 and developed in Appendi x A.1.1.1. The in-water frequencies and mode shapes for the CSB are predicted by the methods discussed in Section 5.2.1.1.

These pressure distributions and frequencies are used, with the response prediction methods in Section 5.2.1.2, to compute the forced vibration response of the CSB. Values of strains and corresponding stresses are summarized in Figure 5.2-6 to 5.2-11.

These regions correspond to instrument (strain gauge) locations described in Section 6.2.1.

The larger stress found for lower temperature is due to a circumferential mode being closer to resonance with the 20 Hz component of the pump pulsations. This shift in frequency caused by a larger hydrodynamic mass effect at the lower temperature.

5.2.1.4.3 Response to Random Excitation The PSDs develped in Appendix A.1.1.2 and described in Section 5.2.1.3 are used to compute the response of t"e CSB to random excitation. The spectra is assumed to have a constant amplitude versus frequency (white noise). The beam mode will, as a result of it having the lowest value of frequency, be the mode most easily excited by the random excitation. Thus the PSDs are applied to a single degree-of-freedom lumped mass model of the CSB to calculate the RMS values of the random response.

The resulting response is found to be an order of magnitude less than the deterministic.

5-6 Values of stress in Figures 5.2-6 to 5.2-9 include both random and deterministic components. Strains corresponding to these stresses are found from the two dimensional stress-strain relationships, and are shown in Figures 5.2-10 to 5.2-11. Total displacement at the lower flange, including all modal centributions, is shown in Figure 5.2.-12.

The multiple pump response (N times the one pump results, N = 2, 3,

, 4) is found by a superposition of the one pump results. This conservatively assumes the phasing between pumps is such that the resulting pressure distribution is an N pump multiple of the one pump case (Appendix A.1.1). Thus the results presented in Figures 5.2-6 to 5.2-12 are all conservative upper bound values.

5 20 5.2.2 Lower Support Structure-Analysis 5.2.2.1 Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes Several models are used to analyze the lower support structure assembly. Beam and plate elements are used to model the entire instrument nozzle assembly (Figure 5.2-13). This representation of the structure is used with the STARDYNE computer code to detarmine the modes, frequencies, and response actions of the assembly as a system. The reaction points in this model are taken at the bottom plate level of the LSS assembly. Typical ICI nozzles (Figure 5.2-14) are modeled as fine mesh beam elements reacted at the support points by spring elements representing the surrounding structure flexibility. These component models are used with the STARDYNE computer code to provide the individual structural modes, frequencies, and responses within the system. The results of both individual and system analysis are combined to provide the total response. Coolant effects on the frequencies of these items are accounted for by the addition of " hydrodynamic mass" to the structural mass in the models.

Free vibration analyses of the instrument nozzle assembly and the ICI nozzles were performed using finite element techniques to obtain the structural made shapes and frequencies in air and in water.

Modal testing of the actual structure in air was performed to verify the analysis and obtain damping information. Test results compared well with the analytical predictions and were used to obtain damping values used in this analysis. The resulting~modeshapes and frequencies for the instrument nozzle assembly and ICI nozzle are the outcome of the combined test and analysis effort. These are shown in Figures 5.2-15 and 5.2-16 and represent all those modes and frequencies considered to contribute significantly to the total response for the frequency range of excitation involved. A summary of the response and forcing frequencies are shown in Figure 5.2-17.

l l

5-21 5.2.2.2 Response to Deterministic Loading Deterministic loading ( Appendix A.1.2) in this area causes a dynamic response of the entire instrument nozzle assembly as well as the individual ICI support tubes. Response of the entire assembly is found using the finite element model shown in Figure 5.2-13. This analysis provides deflections and accelerations of the assembly as well as loading carried by the individual tubes. The individual support tube is then analyzed using the more detailed model shown in Figure 5.2-14. This analysis determines the dynamic response of the single tubes to the deterministic loading using the modeshapes and frequencies found during modal analysis. The results of both system and individual analysis are combined to provide the total response.

Damping used in the response analysis of both the system and individual tubes is obtained from the modal testing done on the lower support structure.

5.2.2.3 Response to Random Excitation The lower support structure will not respond to random excitation as a complete assembly but rather will experience local disturbances of individual components within the assembly. The mooal analysis from the finite element model of the ICI support tube (Figure 5.2-14),

already used for deterministic analysis, is again utilized to determine the random response by the normal mode method.

5.2.2.4 Lower Support Structure-Results of the Analysis 5.2.2.4.1 Response to Periodic Loading The natural frequencies and mode shapes together with the periodic hydraulic forcing function are utilized to obtain the structural response of the LSS assembly.

5-22 The design analysis (Ref. 2) for this assembly showed ICI tube 58 to be the mostly highly stressed member of the assembly. The response to pump induced and vortex shedding loads is calculated at the instrumented locations for this ICI tube using the models discussed in Section 5.2.2.2. The entire LSS assembly will reespond to periodic crossflow induced loads on the support beams. A response analysis has also been done to predict motion of the assembly at the location of an acccelerometer (All) on the LSS.

The results of these analyses are presented in Figures 5.2-18 to -22. These figures indicate the maximum strain, stress acceleration response levels at the instrument locations for the noted operating conditions.

5.2.2.4.2 Response to Random Excitation Per Section 4.2.2.2, random excitation of both the ICI tubes and support beams is caused by turbulent buffeting. The magnitude of the PSD for this excitation is assumed to be constant (white noise),

as calculated in Appendix A.1.2. This spectra is used in conjunction with the finite element model, described in Sectin 5.2.2-3, to predict the random response at the location of instruments SB, S14 and All.

The results of these analyses are shown in Figures 5.2-18 to 22.

The random response in these figures has been plotted as an additional response over and above the deterministic levels. These are shown as both the one and three standard deviation level so as to be more useful in the evaluation of data. Response at instrument All under random loading is negligible.

5-33 5.3 UDoer Guide Structure Assembly-Analysis 5.3.1 Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes Mode shapes and frequencies of the various components in this assembly are found using both finite element methods and lumped mass models. Fluid ef fects are accounted for by adding hydrodynamic mass to the structural mass, as described in Section 5.2.2.1.

The control element shroud tubes in the upper guide structure assembly are modeled as beams supported at the ends by plate el ements. The end plates are in turn supported by spring elements which represent the stiffness of the surrounding structure. A typical model of this configuration is shown in Figure 5.3-1. The STARDYNE computer code ( Appendix B.2) is employed to allow the same models to be utilized for modal analysis as well as deterministic and random response analysis.

The control element shroud tube assembly, including support plate and fuel alignment plate, is modeled as a lumped mass system for a guided cantilever beam to determine of the lateral response mode.

The support plate end of the assembly is considered fixed and the tubes are assumed to respond as springs in parallel. Frequency for the vertical motion of the shroud tube assembly is found using a lumped mass model with the assembly modeled as a coupled plate structure.

The barrel assembly lateral and vertical frequencies are found assuming the structure to behave as a spring and lumped mass system in the form of a cantilever shear beam fixed at the upper flange.

The hydrodynamic effects of the coolant entrained in the gap between the core support barrel and the upper guide structure barrel are considered in this model.

5-34 1 5.3.2 Response to Periodic Loading Response to deterministic forcing functions will result in

tructural response of the entire shroud tube assembly as well as of the individual tubes. Dynamic coupling between the UGS barrel assembly and CEA tube assembly is accounted for by the use of a two degree-of-freedom lumped mass model as shown in Figure 5.3-2. The mathematical solution to the second order equations for this system is programmed such that the response of the shroud tube assembly to its own excitation and that of the UGS barrel is detemined.

Individual tube response, to deterministic excitation,is found using the finite element model in Figure 5.3-1. This response is added to that of the shroud tube assembly to determine the total tube response.

5.3.3 Response to Random Excitation The upper guide structure will not respond to random excitation as a complete assembly but rather will experience local disturbances of individual components within the assembly. The results of flow testing conducted on a 1/4 scale shroud tube assembly model (Ref.

31) are utilized here to detemine the random responses of the shroud tubes and support plates. The model used in the testing was designed so that the resulting dynamic strains could be scaled directly to prototype levels of loading. Data reduction techniques used in this testing allowed for the separation of the random response from the deterministic response over the range of thermal and hydraulic test conditions. The test results allow miaspan displacement of the tubes at various flow conditions to be found as a function of the recorded dynamic strains. This is utilized to predict the response of levels at all CVAP test conditions.

l

5-35 5.3.4 Upper Guide Structure-Results of the Analysis E.3.4.1 Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes Free vibration analyses of the control element shroud tubes, shroud tube assembly, UGS barrel assembly and complete upper guide structure assembly were performed using the methods previously described to obtain the system natural frequencies and mode shapes.

The frequency of lateral motion of any individual CEA shroud tube is a function, through hydrodynamic coupling, of the number of surrounding tubes (Ref. 32, 34). The hydrodynamic mass effect, associated with this coupling, is a function of the relative motion between tubes. The hydrodynamic mass will be greater with the relative motion out-of-phase and smallest for the motion in-phase.

The result is a range in values of frequency for an individual tube. The maximum (out-of-phase) and minimum (in-phase) frequencies are found for the first four lateral modes. Modes higher than the fourth are not calculated since they are out of the forcing frequency range. The first four mode shapes and their frequencies are shown in Figure 5.3-3.

The shroud tube assembly is represented by a single degree of freedom model in both lateral and vertical directions. As such, only the first mode is computed in each direction. These mode-shapes and frequencies are shown in Figure 5.3-4.

The UGS barrel assembly lateral and vertical modes are representative of those for a cantilevered shear beam. The first mode in each direction is chosen as being the most significant and these are illustrated in Figure 5.3-5.

The complete UGS assembly, which includes both the shroud tubes and barrel assembly, has been treated as a two degree of freedom system in both the lateral and vertical directions. The resulting mode

5-36 shapes and resonant frequencies are shown in Figure 5.3-6. A summary of the predicted frequencies for this assembly are shown in Table 5.3-1.

5.3.4.2 Response to Periodic Loading Utilizing the structural natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained from the analysis in Sectin 5.3.4.1, together with the periodic hydraulic forcing functions (Appendix A.2.2), the methods of Section 4.3 were used to obtain the structural response of the UGS assembly. Flow testing performed on a 1/4 scale, one quadrant model of the CEA shroud tube region indicated the ecst ad'.crsely loaded portions of the assembly to be the shroud tubes located near the outlet nozzle. The response analysis of these tubes has been done to predict the instrument readings at these locations for all CVAP test conditions.

The results of the analyses are presented in Figures 5.3-7 to -13.

These figures indicate the expected strain and acceleration response levels at the instrument locations noted on the respective figures for the various test conditions discussed in Section 1.3.

5.3.4.3 Response to Random Excitation Power spectral density levels of random excitation are based on response values recorded during scale model development tests.

Using these data ( Appendix A.2.2) and the methodology of Section 5.3.3 the random responses of the UGS assembly at the various instrument locations are determined for the test conditions noted in Section 1.3.

The results of the analyses are presented in Figures 5.3-7 to -13.

5-51 5.4 Maximum Values of Stress and Values of Stress Margin 5.4.1 Primary Stresses As summarized in Section 1.5, the ASME Code requires that core support structures meet stress limits based on elastic behavior and fatigue damage. The elastic limit is based on the maximum stress intensities, considering primary membrane, bending and secondary stresses, being less than some multiple of the Sm value for the material (16,100 psi). CVAP test conditions being isothennal there are no secondary stresses due to thermal growth. The maximum values of alternating stress are thus equal to the primary membrane plus bending stress intensity which can then be compared to the Code Limit of 1.5 Sm. These are sumarized in Table 5.4-1, both for test conditions corresponding to normal operation and test conditions at which the maximum stress occurs. The table also lists margins for the design values of membrane plus bending stresses listed I

in Tables 1.5-1 and 1.5-2. The design margins are larger by an order of magnitude than the CVAP margins.

5.4.2 Fatigue Per section 1.5.2, margin for fatigue can be defined as Endurance Limit Fatigue Margin = Maximum Value of Peak Alternating Stress where the endurance limit (Fig.1.5-1) is 26,000 psi. The maximum peak alternating stress is defined as the maximum value of alternating stress intensity multiplied by the stress concentra-tion factor at the maximum stress location. The maximum stress, thus minimum margin, does not necessarily occur at the test condition

5-52 corresponding to nonnal operation. Margins for these conditions, and conditions at which the maximum peak stress does occur, are summarized in Table 5.4-2.

Since peak stress intensities are all less than the endurance limit, the usage factors, for all CVAP conditions are zero.

6-1 6.0 MEASUREMENT OF HYDRAULIC FORCING FUNCTIONS AND STRUCTURAL

RESPONSE

The objective of the measurements program is to obtain sufficient data to confirm predictions for the margin of safety at operating conditions of steady state and transient normal operation. This confirmation requires data related to both the flow induced hydraulic loads (forcing functions) and the dynamic response of the structural components. Hence instrumentation is necessary to measure flow and response data. This measurements program has been planned with adequate instrumentation to record the infonnation necessary, with appropriate data reduction, to compare predicted and measured values of response and verify the margin of safety for long term operation.

Hydraulic loads are the instantaneous value of pressure on the surface of the components. Pressure transducers are used to record these pressures as a function of time. The recorded time histories of these pressures include both random and periodic components.

Thus spectral analyses of the data, as power spectral densities, are required to obtain information on magnitude and frequency.

Comparison of the power spectral densities at various locations will then yield information on mode shape.

Likewise, response (e.g. strain, displacement, acceleration) are characterized by modal frequency and amplitude. Transducers, consisting of strain gauges, eddy type displacement gauges and accelerometers are used to measure time histories of these quantities. Processing of these data, utilizing spectral analysis techniques, results in the required modal information.

Values of flow velocity will be calculated from measurements of system flow rate (Ref. 42) and data on flow distributions obtained from scale model tests.

6-2 6.1 Operating Requirements Conditions:

Steady State (dynamic)

Transient Environment :

Temperature (Max) 565'F Pressure (Max) 2250 psig Parameters:

Hydraulic Forcing Functions; magnitude, frequency, character (random / periodic), spatial characteristics.

Structural Response; displacement, strain, acceleration are measured to determine mode shapes, associated frequecies, and stress levels.

6.2 Instrument Locations A detailed explanation of the instrumentation, on a component by component basis, for the System 80 comprehensive vibration assessment program (CVAP), is presented in this section. Axial and circumferential locations, refered to in the text for transducer positions, are shown in Figures 6.2-1 and 6.2-2.

6.2.1 Core Support Barrel Assembly l

6.2.1.1 Core Support Barrel 6.2.1.1.1 Hydraulic Input Function Measurement Objectives: I

a. Measure the magnitude and frequency of the periodic and randem pressure fluctuations.

6-3

b. Determine the axial and circumferential coherence length of the random pressure fluctuations.
c. Determine the spatial distribution of pressure fluctuations.
d. Record the pressure transients during startup and shutdown.

Pressure transducers, to record the fluctuations, are placed at selected locations and mounted flush with the surface.

The locations of transducers chosen to meet these objectives are listed in Table 6.2-1 below and shown in Figure 6.2-3.

6.2.1.1.2 System Response Measurements Objectives:

a. Measure the maximum stress in the CSB.
b. Record significant values of modal response and their associated frequencies of the CSB-UGS-LSS system.
c. Measure maximum displacement at snubber elevation.

The maximum stress for the CSB occurs at its upper flange and shell intersection, due to the beam mode response of the CSB UGS-LSS system, while maximum displacement occurs at the lower flange.

Strain gauges are located at the upper flange and at the CSB mid plane to record strain which will be used to compute stress and both axial and circumferential response modes. Accelerometers and eddy type displacement transducers are located at the lower flange to record amplitude response in the range of from .10 to 300 Hz.

The locations of transducers selected to meet these objectives are listed in Table 6.2-2 and shown in Figure 6.2-4.

6-4 6.2.1.2 Lower Support Structure:

6.2.1.2.1 Hydraulic Input Function Measurement Objectives:

a. Determine the magnitude of the maximum turbulent loading on the instrumentation tubes.

Because of its location close to the flow skirt, tube no. 58 is subjected to the highest level of turbulence present in the lower support structure region. The pressure transducer, selected to record the fluctuating pressure, is mounted flush with the outer surface of the tube-58, at its mid-elevation.

The location of the transducer selected to meet this objective is listed in Table 6.2-3 and shown in Figure 6.2-5.

6.2.1.2.2 Structural Response Measurements Objective:

a. Determine the significant responses and resulting stresses in the LSS components.

For reasons explained in Section 6.2.1.2.1, in addition to its low lateral stiffness, tube-58 is expected to have the highest response and resulting stress levels amongst the instrumentation tubes. The accelerometer chosen to record this response is placed inside the tube. Strain is measured by a group of strain gauges at the intersection of the tube and upper support plate.

The locations of the transducers selected to meet the above objectives are listed in Table 6.2-4 and shown in Figure 6.2-5.

I

6-5 6.2.2 Upper Guide Structure Assembly Based on evaluation of the hydraulic flow test data and the System 80 tube bank vibration analysis, it was concluded that the tubes directly in front of the outlet nozzles will be subjected to the maximum hydraulic loading due to cross flow. In addition, these same peripheral tubes, having a lower stiffness as compared to the inner tubes, will therefore have the maximum response.

Based on flow model tests, in which tubes with high crossflow velocities were identified, six tubes were selected for instrumentation.

6.2.2.1 Hydraulic Input Function Measurement Objectives:

a. Measure the magnitude and frequency of the random and deterministic pressure pulsations on the CEA shroud tubes.

Pressure transducers to record the pressure fluctuations, are mounted flush with the tube wall.

The locations of transducers chosen to meet these objectives are listed in Table 6.2-5 and shown in Figure 6.2-6,7,8.

6.2.2.2 Structural Response Measurements Objectives:

a. Determine the significant responses and resulting stress in the upper guide structure components.
b. Record the flow-induced vibration response in the CEA shroud tubes.

6-6

c. Measure the vertical and lateral response of the upper guide structure, at the fuel alignment plate level, in the 5-300 Hz frequency range.

The CEA Shroud tubes directly opposite the outlet nozzles are instrumented for their significant modal response and resulting stresses, as a result of flow and pump induced vibrations in the tube bank.

Biaxial accelerometers, placed inside the tubes, at their midspan,so that the flow characteristics around these tubes is not altered,will be used to record amplitude response.

In addition, strain gauges, located at the tube-plate junction, will be used to record strain from which stress and mid plane displacement will be calculated.

The locations of transducers selected to meet the above objectives are listed in Table 6.2-6 and shown in Figure 6.2-6, 7, 8.

6.2.3 Summary of Instrumentation Reauirements Table 6.2-7 is a summary of the required instrumentation, arranged according to component to be monitored, parameter measured, type and number of instruments.

6-27 6.4 Preparation and Installation of Instrumentation Systems All transducers are tested prior to shipment to the site. This testing consists of; a helium leak test to check the housing welds,ntoclave tests at 565*F and 2250 psig for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, after which the transducers are checked for resistance and capacitance After the autoclave test another helium leak check is performed.

The sensor leads are protected from hydraulic forces by half round conduits which are welded to the CSB. These conduits are routed to spare CEDM nozzles where the leads penetrate the reactor vessel head. Sealing of the leads is accomplished by the use of "Conax-Lava Seal" in a Grayloc hub assembly.

6.5 Data Acouisition 6.5.1 Recording Equipment The CVAP data recording system is designed to record the electrical signals from transducers, mounted on the reactor internals, on magnetic tape. These tape recordings are the inputs used by various off line processing techniques. The recorded time histories are examined for both amplitude and frequency content.

l 6.5.1.1 Equipment Description The transducers integral hard cable will be terminated at a junction box. The signal is then connected to the data acquisition system by means of a flexible shielded twisted pair cable. At the junction box the accelerometers and pressure transducers will be input to charge amplifiers to convert the charge signal to a voltage signal suitable for recording. The half-bridge strain gauges will be matched with completion resistors and connected to bridge ampl i fiers. Three displacement and one pressure (P9) transducers,

6-28 are eddy current type devices. An oscillator-demodulator system it used with these transducers. An additional D.C. amplifier will be used with the SC transducers to insure adequate recording levels.

The CVAP data acquisition system has the capability to simultaneously record 54 channels of conditioned transducer signals on a 14 single track one inch instrumentation grade analog tape recorder. The transducer signals are recorded on tape using a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) technique. PCM involves frequency filtering and analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion of the continuous transducer time history prior to tape recording. Several transducer channels are then combined by an encoder into a serial bit stream. This data bit stream with necessary encoder framing information is then recorded on a single recorder track. The particular PCM schr a for CVAP uses nine tracks of the recorder. Each track has the encoded A/D values for six transducer signals. The PCM A/O rate and word length have been selected to allow a data channel frequency response of 0-500 Hertz and an amplitude resolution of + 1.25 milivolts

(< + .03% full scale). In order to achieve these operating specifications the PCM system requires a tape speed of 30 inches /second. The analog tape reels used during CVAP will accomodate 24 minutes of data recording. For data monitoring a PCM-decommutator (decom) system will be used during the test. This system will enable test personnel to monitor the recorded transducer signals, and verify the operation of the recording system.

The analog tape recorder, the PCM encoding and decom systems, signal conditioning and auxiliary test equipment are rack mounted in three standard electronic equipment cabinets. The cabinets are equipped with levelers, casters and lif ting eye bolb to insure portability.

6.5.2 Data Acquisition Method The three phases of CVAP data acquisition include: documentation, calibration, and data monitoring (Ref. 40).

6-29 6.5.2.1 Documentation Each transducer and its associated cables are uniquely identified.

The transducer and cables associated with a signal conditioner are logged in the transducer hook-up log. This identifies a signal path at every connection from the transducer to tape recorder. The accuracy of this hook up log is verified by acquisition personnel during instrumentation hook-up and checkout. Any deviations from the initial hook-up made during testing are noted and verified.

6.5.2.2 Calibration The integrity of the transducers and connecting cables is monitored through leadwire insulation and transducer capacitace measurements. These checks are made and recorded in the transducer characteristics log. Additionally, twice a day, strain gauge transducers are shunt calibrated at the bridge amplifier and these shunt calibmtien voltages recorded on the characteristics log.

Overall system calibration is performed at the start of each analog tape. All signal conditioners are switched into calibrate mode and a short tape recording is made. An entry for each system calibration is de in the CVAP data log.

6.5.2.3 Data Monitr ing When a test condition has been set and in the judgement of the acquisition engineer, the acquisition system is ready, a data recording will be made. The signal level of each transducer channel will be monitored while setting the signal conditioning amplifier gains for optimum output levels. The strain gauge amplifiers will be balanced and the sensitivity of all charge amplifiers verified.

An entry is then made in the CVAP data log, a sequential test number is assigned, tape footage, and time of day noted and all signal conditioning gains are entered. The data log has space set aside for additional comments.

6-30 A recording session is started with a voice recording on tape detailing the test number, test conditions, data, time, and tape footage. Other pertinent information may also be included in the voice recording. As the recording proceeds the PCM-decom system is used to monitor the signals recorded on tape. Each signal is monitored to verify the recording process and the adequacy of the data signal level.

6-31 6.6 Data Reduction Methods Reduction of the data will be done using methods of random data analysis (Ref. 37).

This includes both on-line and off-line evaluation of the data at the time of testing and post test reduction and evaluation.

6.6.1 Reduction During Tests The purpose of data reduction during the tests is to determine if the response is within the acceptance limits. This reduction will include calculation of the RMS values for both the response and

! forcing function instrumentation. In addition, a spectrum analyzer l

will be used to examine the spectral characteristics of selected instruments.

G.6.2 Post Test Reduction Complete reduction and evaluation of the data will be the subject of a separate evaluation report, as required by Regulatory Guide 1.20 (Ref. 1). It is not possible to define a complete program for post test reduction of the data without the actual response information.

Tables 6.2-1 to 6.2-6 list the purpose of each instrument and its

( particular location. Based on this, a preliminary data reduction program has been formulated. This preliminary program is to obtain information on the overall and spectral characteristics of both the forcing functions (pressure) and response (strain, displacement, accel eration) .

This proJram includes:

A. Identification of data characteristics through use of special software analysis. This will include:

1. RMS values for all transducers. The values will be broken

.~

6-32 down into two categories: random and deterministic. The deterministic RMS will be the total RMS at all frequencies previously specified as deterministic. The random RMS will be what remains of the RMS after removing the deterministic.

2. Detected peaks for all transducers. The peaks will be broken down into two categories: deterministic and "others". Deterministic peaks will be those at frequencies previously specified as deterministic (i.e., pump rotational frequencies).
3. For all transducers in a measurement group (strain, pressure, etc.), the overall RMS. Each transducer with an RMS significantly larger than either a reference transducer or the group mean RMS will be flagged for further investigation.

B. Spectral analysis of the data for steady state and transient conditions.

Steady state; spectral analysis will include auto power spectral density (PSD) plots of all 47 channels. In addition cross PSD, coherence phase and amplitude probability distribution

( APD) information will be obtained for selected pairs of instruments. A summary is given in Table 6.6-1.

Transient; peak spectrum analysis (PSA) will be done for all 47 channels to obtain information on the maximum response during a transient. In addition time history information will be obtained from the instruments capable of recording RMS levels versus time; all strain gages, displacement transducers, and pressure transducer, P9.

7-1 700 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR TEST DATA Per Regulatory Guide 1.20 an acceptance criteria is defined for the measured stress *. The definition is based en ASME endurance limit stress for fatigue and includes deviations to account for measurement error and calculational uncertainty. The maximum allowable readings for the response instrumentation are specified based on this acceptance criteria.

7.1. Basis for the Acceptance Criteria As discussed in Section 1.5, the design values of the flow induced loads on the core support assemblies are larger than the best estimate values used for the CVAP predictions. A comparison between stress intensities and fatigue margins for the design and CVAP flow induced loads, at the conditions corresponding to normal operation, are listed in Table 7.1-1.

The objective of the measurement program is to obtain values of the response i.e., stress, of the instrumented assemblies to flow induced loads. After suitable analysis of the data, measured l

l response is then compared to the predicted values. This comparison includes consideration of both experimental error and calculational uncertainties in the predictions. The accuracy of the predict methods is related to the difference between the measured and predicted values. This accuracy is assumed to be the same for both the CVAP and design calculations.

  • Since interest is in fatigue, stresses are peak values of alternating stress intensities, defined as, Peak Stress = Stress Concentration Factor x Alternating Stress To be concise, these values are referred to as stress or stress intensity throughout this section.

7-2 The maximum difference between the measured and predicted stress is derived based on the requirement that the difference between the measured and predicted stress intensities for the CVAP conditions, be less than or equal to the difference in maximum allowable stress and the maximum predicted value of stress intensity for the design calculations. This is stated in equation form as, (Sa,cm- Sa,cp) 5 (Se -Sa,d) (1) where, Sa,cm stress measured for CVAP loads Sa,cp stress predicted for CVAP loads Se endurance limit stress (26,000 psi)

Sa,d stress predicted for design loads Per Appendix C.1 and equation 1, the maximum ratio of measured to predicted stress for the CVAP, is,

  1. '" a,d -

= (Fatigue Margin -1) +1 (2)

_Sa,cp_ _Sa,cp_

where the fatigue margin is defined as, Fatigue Margin = Se/ Sa,d (3)

Numerical values of this ratio for the three assemblies are listed in Table 7.1-1. Values of the maximum stress corresponding to this ratio are likewise listed in Table 7.1-1.

This ratio, shown in Figure 7.1-1 as a function of the differences in stresses, from equation 1, am, ,

(Sa,cm - Sa,cp) (4) 3 ad (Se - Sa,d)

7-3 defines the region of acceptable values of measured to calculated stress. The maximum values of this ratio forms the basis for defining the acceptance criteria.

7.1.2 Uncertainties Limits on measured stress, listed in Table 7.1-1, are the maximum acceptable values. These values do not reflect the effect of calculational uncertainties in the predictions or uncertainties due to errors in the measured values.

Uncertainty in the measured values depends on the accuracy of both the acquisition and reduction of the data. The accuracy of the data acquisition is primarily a function of instrument error, which is on the order of magnitude of [ _ ] The accuracy of the data reduction is a function of the number of data samples, the analysis bandwidth, etc. and has an upper limit of approximately[_ ]

Consequently the measurement error is about[_ ]

Uncertainty in the predictions are substantially greater.

Predictions for the loads on the CSB assumes that all pumps are in phase so that the loads and, therefore, the response for H pumps is N times the response for one pump. Data from previous precritical vibration monitoring programs (Ref.12) show this is always conservative in predicting the maximum stress. Evaluation of these l test results indicate an uncertainty on this calculation of[ 3 3nd

[ ]Calculationoftheloads,thustheresponseoftheLSS,is complicated by the complex distribution of flow in the lower plenum region. Because of appproximations made with regard to the loads, the uncertainty is estimated to be within [ _ ] For the UGS the prototype response has been scaled directly from the extensive tests on both full size and scale models. As a consequence of all the assemblies, the uncertainty is the lowest being approximately L J f

7-7 The measurement and calculational uncertainties, being independent, are added as the square root of the sum of their squares. The results are summarized in Table 7.1-2. Corresponding values of maximum and minimum stress, and their RMS values, are also summarized in this table.

7.2 Acceptance Criterion The measured response of the assemblies varies with time due to the dynamic nature of the flow induced loads. This response includes both deterministic and random contributions. It is convenient to define an acceptance criterion that is independent of both the statistical nature of the response and can be applied independent of the particular assembly. Furthermore, this criterion should be consistent with the limits on maximum values for measured stress listed in Table 7.1-2. Assume, as the basis for this criterion, that the deterministic as well as the random contribution to the measured stress are both the result of a random process. Then, on-line evaluation of the RMS values of the recorded data can be directly compared to the acceptance criterion.

As developed in Appendix C.2, the acceptance criterion is taken as equal to one third the endurance stress limit of 26,000 psi, or approximately 8,700 psi. This limit is conservative compared to the arithmetic average of the maximum and minimum values of the RMS stresses listed in Table 7.1-2. A permissible deviation of plus 50%

is assumed for this criterion, resulting in an upper bound of one half the endurance limit, or 13,000 psi. This upper limit is less than the mean values for the RMS stresses listed in Table 7.1-2. The relationship between the acceptance criterion and the RMS values of the maximum measured acceptable values of stress for the assemblies is shown in Figure 7.2-1.

7-8 7.2.1 Acceptance Values for Response Instrumentation The acceptance criterion, expressed for the response. instrumentation in terms of strains, displacements, and accelerations, are listed in Table 7.2-1.

r 8-1 8.0 INSPECTION PROGRAM The visual inspection of reactor vessel internals will be done in accordance with the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.20 (Ref.

1). Details of the inspectiun program procedure are given in Reference 3. Visual examination of the internals will be performed in two stages; a baseline review and a post hot functional precore test review. These examinations will be done under the conditions of lighting, distance, and angle specified in Section XI of the ASME Code (Ref. 4). The inspection program will include examination of all major load bearing surfaces, components to restrain motion of the internals and maximum stress locations predicted by the response analysis.

The CVAP inspection program will also include examination of welds, conduits and mountings associated with the CVAP instrumentation.

Results of the inspection will, in conjunction with the measurement program, be used to, where possible, verify predictions of the response analysis. For example, to correlate the beam mode displacement of the CSB with displacement transducer data and possible evidence of contact on the snubbers.

The inspection report will include a written description of all reportable conditions observed (e.g., scratches, wear, etc.).

Photographic documentation of both the baseline and post hot functional test inspections will be conducted and included as part of this report.

l A-1 APPENDIX-A HYDRAULIC LOADS A.1 Hydraulic Forcing Functions for CSB Assembly A.1.1 Core Support Barrel A.1.1.1 Deterministic Forcing Function l

A hydrodynamic model was developed to obtain the pressure fluctuations on the core support barrel due to the operation of pumps. The idealized model (Figure A.1-1) represents the annulus of coolant between the core support barrel and the reactor vessel. The radii at and a2 correspond to the outer radius of the core support barrel and inner radius of the reactor vessel,

( respectively. The length, L, corresponds to the length of the core l support barrel. The area bounded by zi and z2 in the vertical direction and et and 02in the circumferential direction corresponds to the area of the inlet duct, and is located at the position of an inlet duct.

I In deriving the governing hydrodynamic differential equations for the above model, the fluid is taken to be compressible and invi scid. Linearized versions of the equations of motion and continuity are used. The equations of motion, continuity, and equation of state can be written:

s 3V s o,-j+VP=o (1) s s jg + oc v.y = o (2) s P = C2 o (3)

A-2 l Where:

og = reference density, p = fluctuating density, s

V = fluctuating velocity, s

P = fluctuating pressure, C

o = reference velocity of sound = (h)

P o

= reference pressure, t = time ,

7 = gradient vector-operator 7- = divergence operator These equations are combined to produce the desired acoustic wave equation, the solution of which describes the pressure in the downcomer annulus as a function of space and time. In cylindrical coordinates, the wave equation can be written:

s s s s s 2 2 2 2 a P , 1 Pa_P , 1 3 P , a P , Jap 2 )

To solve the wave equation, boundary conditions at r = at, r =

a2, z = 0, and z = L are required.

1) r = ai, The inner vertical wall is considered to be a rigid wall which is described by the expression:

hI r =a y

A-3

2) r = a2, The outer vertical wall is considered to be rigid except at the location of the pump inlets where the radial pressure gradient is s

=P op Acos up t (6) where P op is the inlet pressure at the pump rotational frequency of up and A is a constant.

Using the Heaviside step function, H, the boundary condition at r =

a2 can be written s

= h(z) h(e) P gp Acos up t (7) hlr=a 2 Where:

h(z) = H(z-z ) - H(z-z )

h(e) = H(e-e ) - H(e-0 )

3) z = L, The top of the cylinder is considered to be a rigid surface where the axial pressure gradient is s

=0 (8) hlz=L

4) z = 0 The bottom of the cylinder is considered to be an open surface which is described by the expression:

s Plz=0 =0 W The boundary conditions along with the wave equation give c complete description of the problem. Ref. 36 describes in detail the solution of this boundary value problem. The method of solution consists of transforming this problem to one with homogeneous boundary conditions and non-homogeneous differential equation.

Usual modal analysis techniques are used to solve the transformed p robl em. The final solution which defines the spatial distributf or, of pressure 07 the core support barrel system as a function of time, space, excitation, and natural hydraulic frequencies is given as follows

A-5 is required. An analytical model and analysis was developed to obtain pump pressure pulsations at the System 80 inlet nozzle, Reference (27). The pump pressure pulsations originate at the pump discharge and propagate down the cold leg pipe to the inlet nozzle.

An empirical relation for the pump discharge pressure pulsation (PD )at the blade passing frequency (BPF) is (Ref. 35, 28);

SPL)gpp = 20 Log 10 (PDl/ 14.7x10-6)

Where K g is a constant based on previous CVAP data (Ref.12),

A-6 l To develop a relationship between the pressure pulsation at the pump discharge and inlet nozzle, the fluid is assumed to be compressible l and the pressure pulsations are considered to be plane waves. The momentum, continuity, and equation of state are used to develop the one-dimensional wave equation:

where:

p = density of coolant A = cross sectional area of cold leg pipe k = empirically determined constant wp = pump frequency PD = pressure pulsation at pump discharge Test data from previous CVAP tests (Ref. 2, 3) indicate this boundary condition at x=L best describes the measured results.

Solution of the boundary value problem defined by the governing equation (13) and the boundary conditions (14) (Ref. 27) yields the pressure fluctuation in the inlet pipe as, P (x,t) = - $ h (cosw p - cos"n ) sin "n*

Values of P (x,t) x=L are used as input values for the solution of the pressure fluctuation expression in the downcomer annulus.

Predictions of periodic forcing functions by the analytical method are based on the inlet duct pressure pulsations given in Table A.1-1.

Calculations were performed for all CVAP test condition temperatures.

Results obtained were for one pump operation. Results for multiple pump operation were obtained by superposition of the one pump results and are presented as the maximum amplitude, Pmax, of the up j components of dynamic pressure wherep w j is the pump rotor, twice the rotor, blade passing, and twice the blade passing frequencies.

Values of P max are presented in Table A.1-2. Plots for the

A-8 circumferential and axial variations of the pressure are presented in Figures A.1-2 and A.1-3 respectively for a typical one pump operation.

Data from previous pre-critical vibration monitoring programs (Ref. 8, 9) confirm that the pressure distributions for multiple pump can be obtained by superimposing various one pump pressure distributions; the peak pressure for N pumps (N = 2,3,4) is N times the pressure for one pump. The resulting pressure distribution is equivalent to N times that of a one pump pressure distribution.

Since tuperposition holds for multiple pumps and the phasing between pumps is unknown, the assumption that all pumps are in phase results in the maximum value of pressure. The structure being linear, the response for N pumps is that for a one pump case multiplied by N (Section 3.2.2.1).

A.1.1.2 Random Forcing Functions The random hydraulic forcing function on the core support barrel assembly is developed from semi-empirical methods. An analytical expression is developed to define the turbulent pressure fluctuation for fully developed flow. This expression is modified, based upon results from scale model testing to account for the fact that the flow in the downcomer annulus is not fully developed. The experimentally adjusted analytical expressions are used to determine the peak value of the pressure spectral density associated with the turbulence and the maximum area of coherence. The resulting equation for the wide cand white noise force power spectral density is expressed as: I 2

Sp (w) = Sp(w) N.A e (1) l where:

Sp (w) = pressure power spectral density (psi 2/Hz)

Ac = coherence area of turbulent pressure fluctuations (in.2)

N = ratio of total surface area to coherence area Based on flow model test data, the turbulent pressure spectral density is defined as:

L = length of core support barrel Predictions of the random forcing pressure acting on the core support barrel are presented in Table A.1-3 in terms of the maximum pressure spectral density in units of psi2 /Hz. Predictions are made at both hot and cold conditions for a variety of multiple pump operating configurations. The coherence area in the core support barrel-reactor vessel annulus is 2

A-19 A.1.2 Lower Support Structure The most significant flow induced loading on the lower support structure is on the instrument tubes and the skewed beam supports for the instrument plate. These structures may be excited by periodic and/or random flow induced forces. The periodic component of this loading is due to pump related pressure fluctuations and vortex shedding due to crossflow.

A.1.2.1 Deterministic Forcing Function Derivation of pump frequency related loads is accomplished by assuming that the periodic pressures calculated at the lower section of the downcomer annulus are propagated undiminished through the flow skirt. For operation with more than one pump, the principle of superposition is used which accounts for the pump azimuthal locations and the phasing between pumps. The phasing between pumps is chosen to provide the maximum pressure fluctuations acting on the LSS components. The rms pressure fluctuation acting on the LSS components is taken to be:

Fms =Fmax 12 (1)

The rms force exerted on the LSS components at the pump rotational frequency is then computed with the expression:

T (wp ) = Ems sin ( ep )A p (2) o where:

F = RMS pressure fluctuation at pump rotational frequency ax = component diameter or thickness C

o

= speed of sound A

p

= projected or frontal area of component

A-20 Forces are calculated at the pump rotor, twice rotor, blade passing, and twice blade passing frequencies.

Assuming that regular vortex shedding occurs, the maximum vortex shedding frequency is 30 Hz, well below the lowest structural frequency (230 Hz) for both the instrument tubes and skewed beams.

The magnitude and frequency of this periodic force are accounted for based on data (Ref.20) for crossflow over both vertical and skewed isolated tubes. The lift and drag forces are expressed as:

F L,0

  • L,0 sin ("vst) A p (3) where:

CL ,0 = Lift / Drag Coefficients v = Approach Velocity a = Density of Fluid w

vs = Vortex shedding frequency = 2r- S t

S t

= Strouhal number D = Tube diameter A = Projected or frontal area = DL p

L = Length of tube t = ti me The magnitude of the drag coefficient and Strouhal number are taken from Reference 21. The lift coefficient is taken to be equal to the drag coefficient. The maximum force is computed for the maximum value of sin ("vs t) = 1.0 T =D P ^p )

l A-21 propagated undiminished through the flow skirt from the lower portion of the core barrel-reactor vessel annulus. Predictions are made at both hot and cold conditions for a variety of multiple pump operating configurations. The pump pressure pulsation loads on the instrumentation tube 58 and instrumentation plate are given in Table A.1-4 at the blade passing and twice blade passing frequencies.

Pump pulsation loads at the rotor and twice rotor frequencies are negligible. In addition, the maximum pressure amplitude, P,,x, of the components of the dynamic pressure acting in the lower support region are provided in Table A.1-4.

, Predictions of the vortex shedding frequencies and lift / drag force on the instrumentation tube 58 are provided in Table A.1-5.

Predictions were made for an outermost ICI tube which is subjected to the full impact of the high approach velocities from the flow skirt, Figure A.1-5.

A-22 l

A.1.2.2 Random Forcing Function The instrument tubes and instrument plate support beams are both subjected to direct impact and/or turbulent buffeting by the flow skirt flow jets. The force spectrum of these jets is assumed to be represented as wide band white noise. The magnitude of this spectrum is based on data in the literature for impingement of turbulent jets (Ref.19). This velocity dependent magnitude is applied to an outside tube which receives the full impact of the flow skirt jets before they decay due to fluid entrainment and the presence of inner tube rows. For both direct jet impact and turbulent buffeting the wide band force power spectral density is approximated by:

Sp (w) = Sp (w) N A c (1) where:

Sp (w) = Pressure power spectral density (psi 2/Hz)

Ac = coherence area N = ratio of total force contributing area to Ac taken to be the ratio of the total external area of the ICI tube, As, to Ac A

s =xD ICI TUBE LICI TUBE The pressure power spectral density can be written as 2

Sp (w) = Cp 2 (1/2 oV )2 23(w) (2) where: i Cp 2 = squared fluctuating pressure coefficient p = fluid density V = mean velocity past ICI tube - stream velocity 23(w) = normalized pressure spectral density

I A-23 1

2 Based upon data for an impinging jet (Ref.19) Cp , is conservatively taken to be 0.10 and the normalized pressure spectral density, 2 o (w), has a maximum value of .01. The pressure power spectral density can be written:

2 S p (w) = .001 (1/2 pV )2 (3)

The velocity past the ICI tube is based upon experimental data on the velocity distribution in the lower head region.

The coherence area, Ac, is taken to be:

Ac = LceLcz (4) i where

Lee = circumferential coherence length Lcz = axial coherence length Based on data from Reference 19, Lee is equal to vD/4 and Lcz is equal to D/2 where D is the outside diameter of the instrumentation tube.

Predictions of the random forcing functions acting on instrumentation tube 58 are presented in Table A.1-6 in terms of the maximum pressure spectral density in psi2 /Hz. Predictions computed at both hot and cold conditions at a variety of multiple pump operation configurations. Predictions are made on an ICI tube adjacent to the flow skirt which is subjected to the maximum approach velocities and loading. The coherence area of the instrumentation tube is:

Ac = nD = 6 28 in 2 (5) 8

A-24 where:

D = tube diameter The surface area of the instrumentation tube is:

As = xDL 307.9 in 2 where:

L = tube length Values of the force spectral density S (w), p are calculated with the expression:

Sy (w) = Sp (w) Ac As where values of Sp (w) are given in Table A.1-6.

i l A-29 A.2 Hydraulic Forcing Functions for UGS Assembly A.2.1 Periodic Forcing Function The most significant dynamic force on the upper guide structure assembly is due to flow induced forces on the tube bank. The periodic components of these forces could be due to pressure pulsations at harmonics of the pump rotor and blade passing frequencies and possible vortex shedding due to crossflow over the tubes. A series of tests on full size tubes, (Ref. 22) at reactor pressure and temperature conditions indicated no evidence of periodic vortex shedding at the Reynolds Number and turbulence l

i levels expected in the tube bank. Thus the only significant 1

l periodic force is that due to pump pulsations. Reactor test data from plant are used to determine the magnitude of these pulsations at the pump rotor, twice the rotor, the blade passing and twice the l

blade passing frequencies. To consider coupling effects, pump pulsation loads on the Fuel Alignment Plate, Upper Guide Structure support plate and Upper Guide Structure Barrel are also computed.

l The rms pump pressure pulsation force exerted on the UGS region components can be calculated with the expression:

T(wp) = P g A p sin (up f) (1) o l

where:

f(wp) = Force at pump rotational frequency up Fo = Pump rms pressure fluctuation at pump rotational frequency u p ax = Component diameter or thickness C

o

= Velocity of sound A = Projected or frontal area of component p

The magnitude of the pump RMS pressure fluctuation in the upper plenum region is determined from reactor test data taken with one

A-30 operating pump. These data are given as PSDs, in units of psi /Hz 2 and are for a particular. band width. For a particular pump frequency, the RMS pressure is given by, Fyp = Band Width. (Sop)g1 /2 (2)

Where (Sop)1p is the pressure power spectral density with 1 pump operating.

P gp = (Sop)yp For multiple pump operation, with the band width taken to be 1Hz, the principle of superposition gives:

Po = N P =N- 1/2 (4) yp (Sop)yp where:

N = number of operating pumps The pump pressure pulsation force exerted on the UGS region components can then be expressed as:

T(wp)=N- (Sop)1p A p sin (wp f) o Forces are calculated at the pump rotor, twice the rotor, the blade passing and twice the blade passing frequencies.

Predictions of the periodic force on the CEA tubes, fuel alignment plate (FAP), upper guide structure support plate (UGSSP) and upper guide structure (UGS) cylinder are provided at the pump rotor, twice rotor, blade passing and twice blade passing frequencies for both hot and cold conditions for a variety of multiple pump operating l

configurations. The pump pressure pulsation forces on the CEA tube

  1. 6 and FAP are presented in Table A.2-1 in terms of the rms force exerted on the component at the pump rotational frequencies, The pump pressure pulsation forces on the UGSSP and UGS cylinder are presented in Table A.2-2. CEA tube 6 is located adjacent to the outlet nozzle as shown in Figure A.2-1.

A-31 A.2.2 Random Forcing Function Results from quarter-scale CEA tube bank tests (Ref. 31) indicate that at normal operating conditions, the CEA tubes are excited by upstream and wake produced turbulent buffeting. The response of selected CEA tubes to the random pressure forces was measured during the quarter-scale tests with strain gauges located 1/2 inch below the upper guide structure support plate. These test results are used to predict the CEA tube responses.

The pressure spectral density Sp(w) was measured during the quarter-scale CEA tube bank tests with a pressure transducer mounted on the upper guide structure support plate downsteam of the CEA tubes near the outlet nozzle, Figure A.2-2. The pressure PSD's from this pressure transducer were used to predict the pressure PSD's for the pressure transducer mounted in the upper guide structure region for the CVAP test program. The upper guide structure pressure transducer locations are identified in Section 6.2.2. The predicted pressure power spectral density function for the upper guide structure pressure transducers is provided in Figure A.2-3

B-1 APPENDIX-B DESCRIPTION OF COMPUTER CODES IN CVAP ANALYSIS B.1 ASHSD A. Description The ASHD program uses a finite-element technique for the dynamic analysis of complex axisymmetric structures subjected to any arbitrary static or dynamic loading or base acceleration. The three-dimensional axisymmetric continuum is represented as an axisymmetric thin shell . The axisymmetric shell is descretized as a series of frustums of cones.

Hamilton's variational principle is used to derive the equations of motion for these discrete structures. This leads to a mass matrix, stiffness matrix, and load vectors which are all consistent with the assumed displacement field. To minimize computer storage and execution time, the non-diagonal

" consistent" mass matrix is diagonalized by adding off-diagonal terms to the appropriate diagonal terms. These equations of motion are solved numerically in the time domain by a direct step-by-step integration procedure.

The assumptions governing the axisymmetric thin shell finite element representation of the structure are those consistent with linear orthotropic thin elastic shell theory. Further description is provided in Reference ( A).

B. Application ASHSD is used to obtain the dynamic response of the core support barrel under Normal Operating Conditions. An axisymmetric thin shell model of the structure is developed. The spatial Fourier series components of the time varying normal operating

B-2 hydraulic pressure loads are applied to the modeled s tructure. The program yields the dynamic shell and beam mode response of the structural system. 1 l

C. Verification ASHSD has been verified by demonstration that its solutions are substantially identical to those obtained by hano calculations or from accepted experimental tests or analytical results. The details of these comparisons may be found in References ( A) and (B).

l B-3 8.2 MRI/STARDYNE A. Description The MRI/STARDYNE program uses the finite-element method for the static and dynamic analysis of two and three dimensional solid structures subjected to any arbitrary static or dynamic loading or base acceleration. In addition, initial displacements and velocities may be considered. The physical structure to be analyzed is modeled with finite elements that are interconnected by nodes. Each element is constrained to deform in accordance with an assumed displacement field that is required to satisfy continuity across element interfaces. The displacement shapes are evaluated at nodal points. The equations relating the nadal point displacements and their associated forces are called the element stiffness relations and are a function of the element geometry and its mechanical properties. The stiffness relations for an element are developed on the basis of the theorem of minimum potential energy. Masses and external forces are assigned to the nodes. The general solution procedure of the program is to formulate the total following equations:

CK ]. {5} = {P} (1) w 2 [M ]{q} [ K]{q) = 0 (2) where:

{6} = the nodal displacement vector

{P) = the applied nodal forces

[M) = the mass matrix w = the natural frequencies

{9) = the normal modes

[K] = stiffness matrix

B-4 Equation (1) applies during a static analysis which yields the nodal displacements and finite elements internal forces.

Equation (2) applies during an eigenvalue/ eigenvector analysis, which yields the natural frequencies and normal modes of the structural system. Using the natural frequencies and normal modes together with related mass and stiffness characteristics of the structure, appropriate equations of motion may be evaluated to determine structural response to a prescribed dynamic load.

The finite elements used to date in C-E analyses are the elastic beam, plate and ground support spring members. The assumption governing their use are as follows: small deformation, linear elastic behavior, plane sections remain plane, no coupling of axial, torque and bending, geometric and elastic properties constant along length of element.

Further description is provided in reference ( A).

B. Application The MRI/STARDYNE code is used in the analysis of reactor internals. The program is used to obtain the mode shapes, frequencies and response of the internals to prescribed static and dynamic loading. The structural components are modeled with beam and plate elements. Ground support spring elements are J used, at times, to represent the effects of surrounding structures. The geometric and elastic properties of these I elements are calculated to be dynamically equivalent to those of the original structures. The response analysis is then conducted using both modal response spectra and modal time history techniques. Both methods are compatible with the program.

l The program is also used to perform a static finite element analysis of the lower support structure to determine its structural stiffness.

l

B.3 ICES /STRUDL-II A. Description The ICES /STRUDL-II computer program provides the ability to specify characteristics of framed structures and three-dimensional solid structui's; perform analyses, static and dynamic, and reduce and combine results.

Analytic procedures in the pertinent portions of ICES /STRUDL-II apply to framed structures. Framed structures are two or three dimensional structures composed of slender, linear members and/or plate elements. Such a structure is modeled with joints (including support joints) and members connecting the joints. A variety of force conditions on members or joints can be specified. The member stiffness matrix is computed from beam and/or plate theory. The total stiffness matrix of the modeled structure is obtained by oppropriately combining the individual member sti ffnesses.

The stiffness analysis method of solution treats the joint displacements as unknowns. The solution procedure provides results for joints and members. Joint results include displacements and reactions and joint loads as calculated from member end forces. Member results are member end forces and distortions. The assumptions governing the element representation of the structure are as follows; linear, elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic behavior, small deformations, plane sections remain plane, and no coupling of axial, torque, and bendinc. Further description is provided in reference ( A).

B. Application The ICES /STRUDL-II code is used for the Normal Operations thermal stress analysis of the lower support structure grid beams, and

C-1 APPENDIX-C DEVELOPMENT CF RELATIONSHIPS FOR ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA C.1 Ratio of Measured to Predicted Stress Shown schematically in Figure C.1-1 are the relative differences between the peak values of alternating stress intensity for design conditions and for both predicted and measured CVAP conditions. In this figure and the subsequent analysis:

Se; endurance limit Sa, n; peak alternating stress intensity for condition n, where n; d(design), cp (CVAP prediction), cm (CVAP measured) am difference in measured and predicted peak alternating stress intensities ad difference in endurance limit and design peak stress intensities The difference between the endurance limit stress and the peak stress intensi ty is, ad = (Se - Sa,d) (1)

Upon rearranging, ad = Sa,d [(Se/Sa,d) -1] (2) where the ratio of Se/Sa,d has been defined as the fatigue margin (Section 1.5.2).

For CVAP conditions considering only the case where the measured stress is greater than the predicted stress, the difference between the two is, om = (Sa,cm - Sa,cp) (3) or am = Sa,cp [(Sa,cm/Sa,cp) 1] (4)

The difference between the endurance limit and the design stress sets an upper bound on the allowable error, or difference, between the measured and predicted stress for the CVAP. Thus the difference

C-2 between the endurance and design values of stress must be greater than or, in the limit, equal to the difference between the measured and calculated values for the corresponding CVAP conditions. From equations (1) and (3),

C-4 C.2 Acceptance Criterion Based on RMS Value of the Measured Response Consider a spectral density representation of combined random and periodic response, shown schematically in Figure C.2-1. The problem is to develop a criteria that, based on the RMS value of this spectrum, will insure the response is within the limit on endurance limit stress allowed by the ASME Code.

Assume this spectrum can be divided into the sum, in the mean square, of a random plus periodic spectra (Figure C.2-1A). The random portion is assumed to be wide band white noise from zero to some limiting frequency fL (Figure C.2-1B). For the random portion, the RMS value RMS R , is limited to being less than one third the ASME limit.
