==SUMMARY==
OF AP600 MEETING TO DISCUSS AP600 STRUCTURAL MODULES The subject meeting was held on January 20 and 21,1998, at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton New York. Attachment 1 is a list of the participants. Attachment 2 contains the handouts provided by Westinghouse during the meeting. This attachment includes miscellaneous changes to the standard safety analysis report (SSAR) that were agreed to during the meeting to resolve issues. Westinghouse took an action to incorporate these changes in a future SSAR revision.
The purpose of the meeting was to review structural calculations in order to resolve final safety evaluation report (FSER) open items that were sent to Westinghouse in a {{letter dated|date=December 9, 1997|text=December 9,1997, letter}}. Attachment 3 provides the details of the results of the review for the selected FSER open items.
A draft of this meeting summary was provided to Westinghouse to allow them the opportunity to comment on the summary prior to issuance, original signed by:

Figure 3.8.3 8 shows the typical design details of the structural modules, typical cc,nfiguradon of the wall modules, typical anchorages of the wall modules to the reinforced base concrete, and connections between adjacent modules. Concrete. filled structural wall n.odules are designed as reinforced concrete structures in accordance with the requirements of ACI-349, as supplemented in the following paragraphs The faceplates are considered as the reinforcing steel, bonded to the concrete by headed studs. De application of ACI-349 and the, supplemental requirements are supponed by the behavior studies described in subsection 3.8.3.4.1. De design of critical sections is described in the design summary repon (sce subsection 3.8.3.5.7).

3.8.33.3.4 Evaluation for Thermal Lunds ne effect of thermal loads on the concrete-filled structural wall modeles is evaluated by using the working stress design method for load combination 3 of Table 3.8.4-2. This evaluation is in addition to the evaluation using the strength design method of ACI-349 for the load combination without the thermal load. Acceptance for the load combination with normal-thermal loads, which includes the thermal transients described in subsection 3.8.3.3.1,-is that the stress in general areas of the steel plate be less than yield. In local areas where the stress may exceed yield the total stress intensity range is less than twice yield. His evaluation of thermal loads is based on the ASME Code philosophy for Service level A loads given in ASME Code, Section III, Subsection NE, Paragraphs NE 3213.13 and 3221,4.

he ceiling of the main control room (floor at elevation 135'-3"). and the instrumentation and control rooms (floor at elevation 117'-6") are designed as finned floor modules Qigure 3.8.4A A finned floor consists of a 24-it.:h-thick concrete slab poured over a McyF Floote        stiffened stee. ; ce ceiling. He fins are rectangular plates welded perpendicular to the plate.      !
    % gp              Shear studs are welded on the other side of the steel plate, and the steel and concrete act as a composite section. De fins are exposed to the environment of the room, and enhance the 3 N.            heat-absorbing capacity of the ceiling (see Standard Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) subsection 6.4.2.2). Several shop-fabricated steel panels, placed side by side, are used to construct the stiffened plate ceiling in a modularized fashion. The stiffened plate is designed to withstand construction loads prior to concrete hardening.
De new fuel storage area is a separate reinforced concrete pit providing temporary dry storage for the new fuel assemblies.
A cask handling crane travels in the east west direction. He location and travel of this erane prevents the crane from carrying loads over the spent fuel pool, thus precluding them frorn falling into the spent fuel pool.

FSER OPEN ITEM 220.112      Vertical sliding plate (PaGolved)
The staff's concem raised under this open item is that the SSAR did not show the size of the sliding plate (which is a portion of the air baffle and is used to accommodate the differential movement between the containment vessel and the shield building) to ensure that the displacement due to seismic events swill not affect the integrity of the air baffle. Westinghouse originally responded to this item in a {{letter dated|date=January 7, 1998|text=letter dated January 7,1998}} (NSD-NRC-98-5512). The staff reviewed this respoase and had a concem that Westinghouse did not adequately explain why tne SSAR only specified the limits of vertical movement for the sliding plate but not the limits of horizontalir.ovement.
Due to this concem, Westinghouse revised the response to this item in a {{letter dated|date=January 16, 1998|text=letter dated January 16, 1998}} (NSD WRC-935525). The staff reviewed this revised response during the meeting and                                          '
found that Westinghouse udequately addressed their concem. Therefore, the staff considers this issu's resolved.
220.113      Seismic design of the passive containment cooling water storage (PCCWS) tank (Resolved)
The staff considered this issue resolved prior to ths meeting 220.114      Adequacy of seismic responses of structures due to post 72 hour changes (Resolved)
Westinghouse provided their original response to this item in a {{letter dated|date=December 19, 1997|text=December 19,1997, letter}} (NSD-NRC-97 5501). The staff's review of this submittal raised five concems as described below:
: 1. SSAR Figure 3.7.2-4 should be revised to incorporate the elevations corresponding to the updated seismic model.
: 2. The phrase,". . and the design changes of tank structures due to the post 72 hour action requirements," should be added to the end of the last sentence of the first bullet of Section (revised) 3.7.2.2.1,
: 3.      The S3AR should commit that if any new seismic analysis is to be performed for any site conditions, the revised model (Model B) should be used.
: 4. As indicated in Westinghouse's submittal (NSchNRC-97-5251) dated July 28,1997, the comparison of floor response spectra (FRS) from Models "A" and "B" showed that the vertical FRS at Elevations 272 ft,284 ft,297 ft and 307 ft from Model"B" significantly exceed (about 20 to 25 percent) those from Model"A." if the FRS at Elevations 272 ft, 284 ft and 297 ft are to be used for the design of safety-related subsystems and components (including seismic Category li piping and components), Westinghouse should either commit, in the SSAR, to use the FRS at Elevation 307 ft in the design or include the FRS at Elevations 272 ft,284 ft and 297 ft in the SSAR.
: 5. In Sheet 2 of 2 of SSAR Table 3.7.2-23 (a new table), Westinghouse should include bending moments at Elevation 306.25 ft. These bending moments were shown in its submittal (NSD-NRC-97-5251) dated July 28,1997.

2-Westinghouse revised the response to this item in a {{letter dated|date=January 16, 1998|text=letter dated January 16,1998}} (NSD NRC-98-5525). The staff reviewed the revised response during the meeting and found that Westinghouse adequately addressed their concem. Therefore, the staff consic'ers this issue resolved.
220.115      Adequacy of floor response spectra (Resolved)
The staff's concem of this open item is related to the overall seismic analysis of the nuclear island structures. As stated in the NRC {{letter dated|date=December 9, 1997|text=letter dated December 9,1997}}, because technicalissues were identified from the review of Westinghouse's seismic reanalysis (FSER Open items 220.112F and 220.114F), this open item will not be closed until Westinghotse resolve these issues. Because the staff resolved those issues regarding the seismic reanalysis (220.112 and 220.114 above) during the meeting, the staff considers this issue resolved.
* 220.116 through 220.119 (Resolved)
The staff considered these issues resolved prior to the meeting.
220.120        Code case N-284 (Action N)
This issue was not discussed at the meeting. The staff had the action to review Westinghouse's response.
l    220.121        Design of shear studs (Action W)
Westinghouse responded to this item in a {{letter dated|date=December 17, 1997|text=December 17,1997, letter}} (NSD-NRC-97-5497). The staff reviewed this response and calculation package 1100-SUC-003, revision 1. The staff also reviewed 1100-SUC 101, revision 6, GW-SUP-003, revision 2, and 1200-SUC-101, revision 4.
The staff did develop a concem regarding concrete anchors based on the review of the response, the revision to the SSAR generated by the response, and the calculation packages.
Westinghouse standard safety analysis report (SSAR), revision 17, Section 3.8.4.5.1 provides requirements for design of concrete anchors. This section states that the design of fasteners to concrete is in accordance with ACl 349-90, Appendix B with supplementary criteria based on three other references. This section also states that anchors are designed wherever possible with sufficient depth of embedment and side cover such that the steel anchor yields prior to failure of the concrete.
The staff's concem is that the above criteria permits Westinghouse to design fasteners to concrete, including the embedded concrete anchors on the structural modules, such that the concrete fails prior to the steel yielding (i.e., non-ductile behavior). No cr',eria r    is presented in the SSAR to establish the strength for such noreductile behavior. The staff position requires review of such criteria on a " case-by-case" basis. Westinghouse agreed to evaluate the commitments in this area made by the evolutionary plants to determine if they could make a similar commitment in their SSAR (Action W).                                                                                                        I l

Westinghouse responded to this item in SSAR Section 3.8.3.5.7 and in a {{letter dated|date=December 18, 1997|text=letter dated December 18,1997}} (NSD-NRC-97-5499). The staff reviewed this response, and design calculations (1100-SUC 101, revision 6,1100-SUC-003, revision 1, and MT03-S3C-022,                    i revision 1) during the mooting. The staff identified that the SSAR revision proposed in Westinghouse's {{letter dated|date=December 18, 1997|text=letter dated December 18,1997}}, contained several values in SSAR table 3.8.3-6 for a design load that were different than in calculation package 1100-SUC-101, revision 6. It was determined that the calculation package contained the correct information. Westinghouse took an action to check and correct the values in SSAR Table 3.8.3-6.
220.123      Implementation of design procedures in design calculations (Resolved)
Westinghouse responded to this item in a {{letter dated|date=December 17, 1997|text=letter dated December 17,1997}} (NSD-NRC 97-5497).
The staff reviewed this response and the selected design calculations (listed under documents in Attachment 2) during the rneeting. Based on the review of these documents the staff considers this issue resolved.
220.124      Design calculation for the shield building and the PCCWS tank (Action N)
Westinghouse responded to this item in a {{letter dated|date=December 17, 1997|text=letter dated December 17,1997}}. This submittalis being reviewed by the staff. (Action NRC) 220.125      Vertical and radial deformation of PCCWS tank during filling. (Action W)
The staff was concemed that Westinghouse's response to this issue documented in a letter dated Dc.,embe 18,1997 (NSD-NRC-97-5499) did not adequately address monitoring of the PCCWS tank during initial filling of the tank with water. The purpose of the monitoring would be to ensure that the tank responded to the addition of the water without experiencing structural problems.
Because of the staff's concem Westinghouse agreed to revise the response to 220.125 and provided a facsimile to the staff prior to the meeting (Attachment 4). The staff reviewed the i
response during the meeting and because of residual concems Westinghouse areed to add the nandwritten words in section 3.8.4.7 (page 2 of Attachment 4). Westinghouse agreed to evaluate if a reference to the maintenance rule for the PCCWS tank is necessary (Action W).
220.126      Air baffle evaluation for air flow fluctuations (Resolved)

220.129        Adequacy of foundation met (Action N) 220.130      Consideration of loads due to construction sequence and settlements in the foundation mat design (Action W)
Westinghouse responded to this item in its {{letter dated|date=January 7, 1998|text=letter dated January 7,1998}} (NSD-NRC 98-5512). In this letter, Westinghouse referred to a {{letter dated|date=October 17, 1997|text=letter dated October 17,1997}}, and restated its position for the resolution of the staffs concem regarding the design of the nuclear island foundation mat under construction loads. The staff reviewed Westinghouse's response and found them to be unacceptable. The staffs position is that in designing the foundation mat for construction loads, Westinghouse should follow the five-steps procedure agreed to during the meeting on August 4 through 8,1997. A conference call was held to discuss the issue further. Particpants in the call
    !ncluded: Don t.indgren, Richard Orr, Tom Cheng, Joe Sebrosky, and Carl Constantino.
As described in the submittal dated October 17,1997, Westinghouse selected the five most criticallocations (locations with the higheFt stresses under the combined load conditions) and demonstrated that by following the five step procedure the original design has enough margin to cover the inclusion of construction loads. As a result of the conference call, the staff agreed that the five locations that Westinghouse chose were the appropriate areas for the demonstration and the calculations properly demonstrated that the design capacity of the foundation mat can cover the additional stresses induced by construction loads. However, the staif did not agre's with the design procedure for the construction loads documented in the SSAR. To resolve this concem the staff stated that Westinghouse should incorporate the five-step procedure agreed to during the meeting on August 4 through 8,1997 (documented in the meeting summary dated September 30,1997) in the SSAR. Westinghouse took an action to evaluate providing the five-step design procedure for considering construction loads in the SSAR.

The staff idendfled this issue as Open Item 3.8.4.4-3 and COL Action Item 3.8.4.4-1.
At the meedng on June 12 through 16,1995, Westinghouse stated that the water weight is sman, in comparison with the total weight of the shield building roof structure (estimated to be about 10 percent). Westinghouse also showed that the deflection of the roof structure resulting Dom the first All of water should be negligible. On that basis, Westinghouse contended that there is no need to monitor the tank deflections and compare the anneions against predictions.
During the meeting on December 9 through 13,1996, Westmghouse repeated its justification concerning this issue. However, the staff did not agree with Westinghouset basis for not monitoring the vertical and radial deformation of the tank during initial tank filling. Moreover, the staff asserted that post. construction testing is r==wy to confirm the adequacy of the PCCWS tank. This is because the staffs review experience suggest that the excessive deformation resulting froen the            ,
massive amount of water may cause cracking of the tank wxD and base slab, as well as water leakage inn reinforced concrete tanks with steelliners.
In Revisiem 17 of SSAR Section 3.8.4.1.1, Westinghouse added a statement that leak chase channels are provided over the liner wclds to permit monitoring for leakage and to prevent degradation of the reinforced concrete wall which might result from the freezing and thawing ofleakage. Also.
Westir.ghouse indicated that the exterior face of the reinforced concrete boundary of the PCCWS tank is designed to control cracking, in accordance with Paragraph 10.6.4 of ACI-349, with reinforcement sted stress based on sustained loads (includmg thermal effects). However, Westinghouse still did not commit to monitor the vertical and radial deformat;on of the tank during initial fillmg and compare the measured values with the tank deformation predicted by analysis. On the basis of the above discussion, the staff concludcd that Westinghouse's response to the staff's concem (as stated in Revision 17 of SSAR Section 3.8.4.1.1) is not acceptable. Therefore, Open Item 3.8.4.4-3 and COL Action Item 3.8.4.4-1 remain unsolved.
Response (Revision 1):
1 The SSAR is revised below to show monitoring of the tank during initial filling. Requirements for i visual examination art given. The calculated deflections of the roof structure due to the first fill of I water are less than one quarter of an inch. Monitoring of tank deDections and comparison against I predictions is difficult because of the small magnitude of the deflections due to the water inventory.
I Vertical deflections could also be caused by thermal changes. The vertical deflection will be I measured during tank fill and will be compared to the predicted magnitude. This wiB be used in I combination with the visual examination to confirm acceptability.

1 3H.4    GLOBAL SEISMIC ANALYSES A global seismic analysis of the AP600 nuclear island structure is perfor'med to obtain building seismic response spectra for the seismic design of nuclear safety related structures.
His analysis is described in subsection 3.7.2. For detennining the out of plane seismic loads on slabs and wall segments, spectral accelerations are obtained from the relevant response spectra using the 7 percent damping curve. Hand calculations are performed to estimate the out-of. plane seismic forces and the correspondmg bending moment in each shear wall and floor slab element to supplement the loads obtained fmm the response spectra analyses.
The in-plane seismic loads for the design of the shear walls and the slabs in the auxiliary building are based on a response spectrum analysis of the auxiliary building and the shield building 3D finite element models. he response spectrum analyses are performed for two cases: one that considers the reinforced concrete elements to be uncracked with full clastic stiffness, and the other that models the elements with 70 percent of their full silffness. De larger of the two values for each finite element, fmm these two cases, for the stress resultants is used in the design evaluation.

(Dis wall is subjected to thermal and seismic sloshing loads) 3H.5.1    Shear Walls Structural Description Shear walls in the auxiliary building vary in size. configuration, aspect ratio, and amount of reinforcement. De stress levels in shear walls depend on these parameters and the seismic acceleration level. The range of these parameters and the stress levels in various regions of the most severely stressed shear wall are described in the following paragraphs.
The height of the major structural shear walls in the auxiliary building ranges between 30 to 120 feet. The length ranges between 40 and 260 feet. The aspect ratio of these walls (full height / full length) is generally less than 1.0 and often less than 0.25. Therefore, these walls fall within the category oflow rise shear walls.

The north wall of the MSIV cast compartment, at column line 1I between elevation .I17'-6" and elevation 153'-0", has been identified as a critical section.
De segment of the wall between elevation i17'-6" and elevation 135'-3"is 4 feet thick, and several pipes such as the main steam line, main feed water line, and the stan.up feed water ,
line are anchored to this wall at the interface with the turbine building.
The wall segment from elevation 135'-3" to elevation 153'-0" does not provide suppon to'any high energy lines, and is 2 feet thick. His ponion does not have to withstand reactions fmm high energy line breaks.
De wall is designed to withstand loads such as the dead load, live load, seismic load and the thermal load. The MSIV room is a break exclusion area, but the design also considered the loads associated with pipe rupture in the MSIV room, such as compartment pressurization, jet load, and th.: reactions at the pipe anchors. 'the loads on the pipe anchor include pipe rupture loads for breaks in the turbine building.
The wall structure is analyzed using three dimensional finite element analyses. Analyses are performed for individual loads, and design loads are determined for applicable load combinations from Tab:e 3.8.4-2. E J-4= _ p'c=d .'U. A e.nayug ..cc for

De load combinations applicable to the design of these floors are shown in Tables 3.8.4-1                                  l and 3.8.4-2. The design of the floor system is performed in two parts:
* Design of structural steel beams he structural steel floor beams an evaluated to withstand the weight of wet concrete during the placement of concrete. The composite section is checked for the design loads during nonnal and extreme environment conditions. Shear connectors are also designed.
* Design of concrete slab The concrete slab and the steel reinforcement of the composite section are evaluated for normal and extreme environmental conditions. The slab concrete and the reinforcement is designed to meet the requirements of American Concrete Institute standard ACI 349-90 " Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety related Structures."
l i
The slab design considers the in-plane and out-of plane seismic forces. He global in-plane and out-of-plane forces are obtained from the response spectrum analysis of the 3D finite element model of the auxiliary and shield buildings. De out-of plane seismic forces due to floor self-excitation are determined by hand calculations using the applicable vertical seismic response spectrum and slab frequency.

De layout of this segment of the roof is shown in Figure 3H.5-7 as Region "B." De concrete slab is 15 inches thick, plus 4.5-inch deep metal deck ribs. It is composite with 5 feet deep plate girders, spaced 14' 2" center to center, by using shear connectors. The girder flanges are 20" x 2" and the web is 56" x 7/16." The girders span approximately 64 feet in the north-south dirredon and are designed as simply supported. The concrete slab between the girders behaves as a one way slab and is designed to span between the girders.
De roof girders are designed for dead and live loads, including construction loads (with wet concretc) with simple support end conditions. A one-third increase in allowable stress is permitted for the constru: tion load combination.
De giniers are also evaluated as part of the composite beam after drying of concrete. De composite roof structure is designed to withstand dead and live load / snow load, as well as the wind, tomado and seismic loads.

For positive bending, tne concrete above the neutral ax's carri s compressive stresses and the stiffened steel plate re:ists tension. Negative bending compression is resisted by the stiffened plate and tension by top rebars in the concrete. De neutral axis for negative bending is located in the stiffened plate section, and the concrete in tension is assumed inactive.

SUBJECT:

SUMMARY

OF AP600 MEETING TO DISCUSS AP600 STRUCTURAL MODULES The subject meeting was held on January 20 and 21,1998, at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton New York. Attachment 1 is a list of the participants. Attachment 2 contains the handouts provided by Westinghouse during the meeting. This attachment includes miscellaneous changes to the standard safety analysis report (SSAR) that were agreed to during the meeting to resolve issues. Westinghouse took an action to incorporate these changes in a future SSAR revision. The purpose of the meeting was to review structural calculations in order to resolve final safety evaluation report (FSER) open items that were sent to Westinghouse in a December 9,1997, letter. Attachment 3 provides the details of the results of the review for the selected FSER open items. A draft of this meeting summary was provided to Westinghouse to allow them the opportunity to comment on the summary prior to issuance, original signed by: Joseph M.

Figure 3.8.3 8 shows the typical design details of the structural modules, typical cc,nfiguradon of the wall modules, typical anchorages of the wall modules to the reinforced base concrete, and connections between adjacent modules. Concrete. filled structural wall n.odules are designed as reinforced concrete structures in accordance with the requirements of ACI-349, as supplemented in the following paragraphs The faceplates are considered as the reinforcing steel, bonded to the concrete by headed studs. De application of ACI-349 and the, supplemental requirements are supponed by the behavior studies described in subsection 3.8.3.4.1. De design of critical sections is described in the design summary repon (sce subsection 3.8.3.5.7). 3.8.3JJ.1 Design for Axial Loads and Bending Design for axial load (tension and compression), in plane bending, and out-of plane bending is in accc: dance with the requirements of ACI 349, Chaptert 10 and 14. , 3.8.3.5.3.2 Design for In Plane Shear Design for in-plane shear is in accordance with the requirements of ACI 349, Chapters 11 and

3.8.33.3.4 Evaluation for Thermal Lunds ne effect of thermal loads on the concrete-filled structural wall modeles is evaluated by using the working stress design method for load combination 3 of Table 3.8.4-2. This evaluation is in addition to the evaluation using the strength design method of ACI-349 for the load combination without the thermal load. Acceptance for the load combination with normal-thermal loads, which includes the thermal transients described in subsection 3.8.3.3.1,-is that the stress in general areas of the steel plate be less than yield. In local areas where the stress may exceed yield the total stress intensity range is less than twice yield. His evaluation of thermal loads is based on the ASME Code philosophy for Service level A loads given in ASME Code, Section III, Subsection NE, Paragraphs NE 3213.13 and 3221,4. 3.8.3.5.3J Design of Trusses he trusses 1 rovide a structural framework for the modules, maintain the separation 'wtween the faceplates, suppon the modules during transportation and erection, and act as " form ties" between the faceplates when concrete is oeing placed.

he ceiling of the main control room (floor at elevation 135'-3"). and the instrumentation and control rooms (floor at elevation 117'-6") are designed as finned floor modules Qigure 3.8.4A A finned floor consists of a 24-it.:h-thick concrete slab poured over a McyF Floote stiffened stee. ; ce ceiling. He fins are rectangular plates welded perpendicular to the plate.  !

   % gp               Shear studs are welded on the other side of the steel plate, and the steel and concrete act as a composite section. De fins are exposed to the environment of the room, and enhance the 3 N.            heat-absorbing capacity of the ceiling (see Standard Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) subsection 6.4.2.2). Several shop-fabricated steel panels, placed side by side, are used to construct the stiffened plate ceiling in a modularized fashion. The stiffened plate is designed to withstand construction loads prior to concrete hardening.

De new fuel storage area is a separate reinforced concrete pit providing temporary dry storage for the new fuel assemblies. A cask handling crane travels in the east west direction. He location and travel of this erane prevents the crane from carrying loads over the spent fuel pool, thus precluding them frorn falling into the spent fuel pool. 3.8.4.1.3 Conta ament Air Baffle ne containment air baffle is located within the upper annulus of the shield building, , providing an air flow path for the passive containment cooling system. The air baffle separates the downwm! air flow entering at the air inlets from the upward air flow that cools the containinent vessel and flows out of the discharge stack. De upper portion is supported from the shield building roof and the remainder is supported from the containment vesscl. The air baffle is a seismic Category I structure designed to withstand the wind and tomedo loads defined in Section 3.3. He air baffle structural configuration is depicted in Figures 1.2-14 and 3.8.41. The baffle includes the following sections: A wall supported off the shield building inof (see Figure 1.214) A series of panels attached to the containment vessel cylindrical wall and the knuckle region of the dome A sliding plate closing the gap between the wall and the panels fixed to the containment vessel, designed to accommodate the differential movements between the containment vessel and shield building Flow guides attrhed at the bottom of the air baffle to minimize pressu2e drop. The air baffle is designed to meet the following functional requirements: 1 The baffle and its supports are configured to minimize pressure losses as air flows through the system ( Revisien: 17 ' October 31,1997 3.8-42 W-Westillghouse

The design of the basemat and superstructure accommodates the construction induced stresses considering the construction sequence and the effects of the settlement time history. The design of the basemat can accommodate delays in the shieki building so long as the auxiliary building construction is suspended at elevation 117

  • 0". Resumption in construction of the auxiliary building can proceed os e the shield building is advanced to elevation 100' 0".

The design of the basemat can accommodate delays in the auxiliary building so long as the shield building construction is suspended at elevation 84' 0' feet. Resumption in construction of the shield building can proceed once the auxiliary building is advanced to elevation 100' 0".

  • After the structure is in place and cured to elevation 100' 0" the basemat and structure g act as an integral 40 foot deep structure and the loading due to construction above this g elevation is not expected to cause significant additional flexural demand with respect 4 to the basemat and the shield buixting concrete below the containment vessel.

Accordingly, there is no need for placing constraints on the construction sequence above b elevation 100' 0'. ( { De site conditions considcred in the evaluation provide reasonable bounds on construction T. g induced stresses in ths basemat.

FSER OPEN ITEM 220.112 Vertical sliding plate (PaGolved) The staff's concem raised under this open item is that the SSAR did not show the size of the sliding plate (which is a portion of the air baffle and is used to accommodate the differential movement between the containment vessel and the shield building) to ensure that the displacement due to seismic events swill not affect the integrity of the air baffle. Westinghouse originally responded to this item in a letter dated January 7,1998 (NSD-NRC-98-5512). The staff reviewed this respoase and had a concem that Westinghouse did not adequately explain why tne SSAR only specified the limits of vertical movement for the sliding plate but not the limits of horizontalir.ovement. Due to this concem, Westinghouse revised the response to this item in a letter dated January 16, 1998 (NSD WRC-935525). The staff reviewed this revised response during the meeting and ' found that Westinghouse udequately addressed their concem. Therefore, the staff considers this issu's resolved. 220.113 Seismic design of the passive containment cooling water storage (PCCWS) tank (Resolved) The staff considered this issue resolved prior to ths meeting 220.114 Adequacy of seismic responses of structures due to post 72 hour changes (Resolved) Westinghouse provided their original response to this item in a December 19,1997, letter (NSD-NRC-97 5501). The staff's review of this submittal raised five concems as described below:

1. SSAR Figure 3.7.2-4 should be revised to incorporate the elevations corresponding to the updated seismic model.
2. The phrase,". . and the design changes of tank structures due to the post 72 hour action requirements," should be added to the end of the last sentence of the first bullet of Section (revised) 3.7.2.2.1,
3. The S3AR should commit that if any new seismic analysis is to be performed for any site conditions, the revised model (Model B) should be used.
4. As indicated in Westinghouse's submittal (NSchNRC-97-5251) dated July 28,1997, the comparison of floor response spectra (FRS) from Models "A" and "B" showed that the vertical FRS at Elevations 272 ft,284 ft,297 ft and 307 ft from Model"B" significantly exceed (about 20 to 25 percent) those from Model"A." if the FRS at Elevations 272 ft, 284 ft and 297 ft are to be used for the design of safety-related subsystems and components (including seismic Category li piping and components), Westinghouse should either commit, in the SSAR, to use the FRS at Elevation 307 ft in the design or include the FRS at Elevations 272 ft,284 ft and 297 ft in the SSAR.
5. In Sheet 2 of 2 of SSAR Table 3.7.2-23 (a new table), Westinghouse should include bending moments at Elevation 306.25 ft. These bending moments were shown in its submittal (NSD-NRC-97-5251) dated July 28,1997.

2-Westinghouse revised the response to this item in a letter dated January 16,1998 (NSD NRC-98-5525). The staff reviewed the revised response during the meeting and found that Westinghouse adequately addressed their concem. Therefore, the staff consic'ers this issue resolved. 220.115 Adequacy of floor response spectra (Resolved) The staff's concem of this open item is related to the overall seismic analysis of the nuclear island structures. As stated in the NRC letter dated December 9,1997, because technicalissues were identified from the review of Westinghouse's seismic reanalysis (FSER Open items 220.112F and 220.114F), this open item will not be closed until Westinghotse resolve these issues. Because the staff resolved those issues regarding the seismic reanalysis (220.112 and 220.114 above) during the meeting, the staff considers this issue resolved.

  • 220.116 through 220.119 (Resolved)

The staff considered these issues resolved prior to the meeting. 220.120 Code case N-284 (Action N) This issue was not discussed at the meeting. The staff had the action to review Westinghouse's response. l 220.121 Design of shear studs (Action W) Westinghouse responded to this item in a December 17,1997, letter (NSD-NRC-97-5497). The staff reviewed this response and calculation package 1100-SUC-003, revision 1. The staff also reviewed 1100-SUC 101, revision 6, GW-SUP-003, revision 2, and 1200-SUC-101, revision 4. The staff did develop a concem regarding concrete anchors based on the review of the response, the revision to the SSAR generated by the response, and the calculation packages. Westinghouse standard safety analysis report (SSAR), revision 17, Section 3.8.4.5.1 provides requirements for design of concrete anchors. This section states that the design of fasteners to concrete is in accordance with ACl 349-90, Appendix B with supplementary criteria based on three other references. This section also states that anchors are designed wherever possible with sufficient depth of embedment and side cover such that the steel anchor yields prior to failure of the concrete. The staff's concem is that the above criteria permits Westinghouse to design fasteners to concrete, including the embedded concrete anchors on the structural modules, such that the concrete fails prior to the steel yielding (i.e., non-ductile behavior). No cr',eria r is presented in the SSAR to establish the strength for such noreductile behavior. The staff position requires review of such criteria on a " case-by-case" basis. Westinghouse agreed to evaluate the commitments in this area made by the evolutionary plants to determine if they could make a similar commitment in their SSAR (Action W). I l

l 220.122 Critical sections for containment intemal structures (Action W) Westinghouse responded to this item in SSAR Section 3.8.3.5.7 and in a letter dated December 18,1997 (NSD-NRC-97-5499). The staff reviewed this response, and design calculations (1100-SUC 101, revision 6,1100-SUC-003, revision 1, and MT03-S3C-022, i revision 1) during the mooting. The staff identified that the SSAR revision proposed in Westinghouse's letter dated December 18,1997, contained several values in SSAR table 3.8.3-6 for a design load that were different than in calculation package 1100-SUC-101, revision 6. It was determined that the calculation package contained the correct information. Westinghouse took an action to check and correct the values in SSAR Table 3.8.3-6. 220.123 Implementation of design procedures in design calculations (Resolved) Westinghouse responded to this item in a letter dated December 17,1997 (NSD-NRC 97-5497). The staff reviewed this response and the selected design calculations (listed under documents in Attachment 2) during the rneeting. Based on the review of these documents the staff considers this issue resolved. 220.124 Design calculation for the shield building and the PCCWS tank (Action N) Westinghouse responded to this item in a letter dated December 17,1997. This submittalis being reviewed by the staff. (Action NRC) 220.125 Vertical and radial deformation of PCCWS tank during filling. (Action W) The staff was concemed that Westinghouse's response to this issue documented in a letter dated Dc.,embe 18,1997 (NSD-NRC-97-5499) did not adequately address monitoring of the PCCWS tank during initial filling of the tank with water. The purpose of the monitoring would be to ensure that the tank responded to the addition of the water without experiencing structural problems. Because of the staff's concem Westinghouse agreed to revise the response to 220.125 and provided a facsimile to the staff prior to the meeting (Attachment 4). The staff reviewed the i response during the meeting and because of residual concems Westinghouse areed to add the nandwritten words in section 3.8.4.7 (page 2 of Attachment 4). Westinghouse agreed to evaluate if a reference to the maintenance rule for the PCCWS tank is necessary (Action W). 220.126 Air baffle evaluation for air flow fluctuations (Resolved) The staff reviewed Westinghouse's response to this item documented in a December 17,1997 letter (NSD NRC-97-5497) and the June 11,1997, letter that is referenced in this response. The staff found Westinghouse's response to this item acceptable and therefore considers the issue resolved. 220.127 The staff considered this issue resolved prior to it e meeting The staff reviewed Westinghouse's response to this item documented in a letter dated December 17,1997 (NSD-NRC-97-5497). The staff found Westinghouse's response to this item acceptable and therefore considers the issue resolved. n -

4 220.128 Auxiliary building roof slab (Action W/ Action N)

 - The staffs concem of this P. tin is that Westinghouse should provide a design summary of critical tactions in the SSAR. Westinghouse responded to this item in SSAR Sections 3.8.3.5.7 and 3.8.5.4.4, and in the proposed Appendix 3H attached to the letter dated January 9,1998 (NSD-NRC-98-5515). The staff also reviewed calculation package 1200-SUC-101, revision 4. The
  ' staff did noi complete its review of this item during the meeting. Therefore, the staff took an -

action to complete its review of this response. 1 However, the staff did identify changes that needed to be made to the SSAR. Westinghouse provided Attachment 5 to address the staffs concoms. Westinghouse took an action to incorporate these changes into the SSAR. 220.129 Adequacy of foundation met (Action N) 220.130 Consideration of loads due to construction sequence and settlements in the foundation mat design (Action W) Westinghouse responded to this item in its letter dated January 7,1998 (NSD-NRC 98-5512). In this letter, Westinghouse referred to a letter dated October 17,1997, and restated its position for the resolution of the staffs concem regarding the design of the nuclear island foundation mat under construction loads. The staff reviewed Westinghouse's response and found them to be unacceptable. The staffs position is that in designing the foundation mat for construction loads, Westinghouse should follow the five-steps procedure agreed to during the meeting on August 4 through 8,1997. A conference call was held to discuss the issue further. Particpants in the call

    !ncluded: Don t.indgren, Richard Orr, Tom Cheng, Joe Sebrosky, and Carl Constantino.

As described in the submittal dated October 17,1997, Westinghouse selected the five most criticallocations (locations with the higheFt stresses under the combined load conditions) and demonstrated that by following the five step procedure the original design has enough margin to cover the inclusion of construction loads. As a result of the conference call, the staff agreed that the five locations that Westinghouse chose were the appropriate areas for the demonstration and the calculations properly demonstrated that the design capacity of the foundation mat can cover the additional stresses induced by construction loads. However, the staif did not agre's with the design procedure for the construction loads documented in the SSAR. To resolve this concem the staff stated that Westinghouse should incorporate the five-step procedure agreed to during the meeting on August 4 through 8,1997 (documented in the meeting summary dated September 30,1997) in the SSAR. Westinghouse took an action to evaluate providing the five-step design procedure for considering construction loads in the SSAR.

JAN IB tf 11:23 FROM AP600 DESIGN CERT TO NRC PAGE.002 FSEft Open item Open Itesn 220.125F (OITS e6312) Response Revision i Because a massive amount or water is to be contained in the PCCWS tank, the staff raised a concem that the COL applicant should monitor the vertical and radial deformation of the tank during inidal filling, and compare the measured values with the tank deformadon predicted by calculation. The staff idendfled this issue as Open Item 3.8.4.4-3 and COL Action Item 3.8.4.4-1. At the meedng on June 12 through 16,1995, Westinghouse stated that the water weight is sman, in comparison with the total weight of the shield building roof structure (estimated to be about 10 percent). Westinghouse also showed that the deflection of the roof structure resulting Dom the first All of water should be negligible. On that basis, Westinghouse contended that there is no need to monitor the tank deflections and compare the anneions against predictions. During the meeting on December 9 through 13,1996, Westmghouse repeated its justification concerning this issue. However, the staff did not agree with Westinghouset basis for not monitoring the vertical and radial deformation of the tank during initial tank filling. Moreover, the staff asserted that post. construction testing is r==wy to confirm the adequacy of the PCCWS tank. This is because the staffs review experience suggest that the excessive deformation resulting froen the , massive amount of water may cause cracking of the tank wxD and base slab, as well as water leakage inn reinforced concrete tanks with steelliners. In Revisiem 17 of SSAR Section 3.8.4.1.1, Westinghouse added a statement that leak chase channels are provided over the liner wclds to permit monitoring for leakage and to prevent degradation of the reinforced concrete wall which might result from the freezing and thawing ofleakage. Also. Westir.ghouse indicated that the exterior face of the reinforced concrete boundary of the PCCWS tank is designed to control cracking, in accordance with Paragraph 10.6.4 of ACI-349, with reinforcement sted stress based on sustained loads (includmg thermal effects). However, Westinghouse still did not commit to monitor the vertical and radial deformat;on of the tank during initial fillmg and compare the measured values with the tank deformation predicted by analysis. On the basis of the above discussion, the staff concludcd that Westinghouse's response to the staff's concem (as stated in Revision 17 of SSAR Section 3.8.4.1.1) is not acceptable. Therefore, Open Item 3.8.4.4-3 and COL Action Item 3.8.4.4-1 remain unsolved. Response (Revision 1): 1 The SSAR is revised below to show monitoring of the tank during initial filling. Requirements for i visual examination art given. The calculated deflections of the roof structure due to the first fill of I water are less than one quarter of an inch. Monitoring of tank deDections and comparison against I predictions is difficult because of the small magnitude of the deflections due to the water inventory. I Vertical deflections could also be caused by thermal changes. The vertical deflection will be I measured during tank fill and will be compared to the predicted magnitude. This wiB be used in I combination with the visual examination to confirm acceptability. DRhFT ND" 220.125(RI)-1 Attachment 4

His analysis is described in subsection 3.7.2. For detennining the out of plane seismic loads on slabs and wall segments, spectral accelerations are obtained from the relevant response spectra using the 7 percent damping curve. Hand calculations are performed to estimate the out-of. plane seismic forces and the correspondmg bending moment in each shear wall and floor slab element to supplement the loads obtained fmm the response spectra analyses. The in-plane seismic loads for the design of the shear walls and the slabs in the auxiliary building are based on a response spectrum analysis of the auxiliary building and the shield building 3D finite element models. he response spectrum analyses are performed for two cases: one that considers the reinforced concrete elements to be uncracked with full clastic stiffness, and the other that models the elements with 70 percent of their full silffness. De larger of the two values for each finite element, fmm these two cases, for the stress resultants is used in the design evaluation. O b 3H 5 STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF CRITICAL SECTIONS G

(Dis wall is subjected to thermal and seismic sloshing loads) 3H.5.1 Shear Walls Structural Description Shear walls in the auxiliary building vary in size. configuration, aspect ratio, and amount of reinforcement. De stress levels in shear walls depend on these parameters and the seismic acceleration level. The range of these parameters and the stress levels in various regions of the most severely stressed shear wall are described in the following paragraphs. The height of the major structural shear walls in the auxiliary building ranges between 30 to 120 feet. The length ranges between 40 and 260 feet. The aspect ratio of these walls (full height / full length) is generally less than 1.0 and often less than 0.25. Therefore, these walls fall within the category oflow rise shear walls. The walls are typically 2 to 5 feet thick, and are monolithically cast with the concrete floor slabs, which are 9 inches to 2 feet thick. Extedor shear walls are several stories high and do not have many large openings. Interior shear walls, however, ara discontinuous in both vertical and horizontal directions.

Appendix 3H Auxiliary Building Critical Sections 3H.5.1.1 Exterior Wall at Column Line I ne wall at column line I is the exterior wall at the south end of the nuclear island. The reinforced concrete wall extends from the top c.f the basemat at elevation 66*-6" to the roof at elevation 180* 0". It is 3t0" thick below the grade and 2*-3" thick above the gcade. , (s% o.d dyna,de) l The wall is designed for applicable loads including dead load, live load, hydrostatic load, lateral soil pressure loads, seismic loads, and thermal loads. As showm in Figure 3H.5 2, the wall is divided in 12 segments for design purpose. Table 3H.5 2 provides the listing and magnitude of the various design loads. Table 3H.5-3 presents the governing load combination, for each wall segment and the details of the wall reinforcement. The actual reinforcement provided is compmd to the required rebar area for each wall segment. Figure 3H.5-3 shows the typical reinforcement for the wall at column line 1. 3H.5.1.2 Wall at Column Line 7.3 he wall at column line 7.3 is a shear wall that connects the shield building and the nuclear island exterior wall at column line 1. It extends from the top of the basemat at elevation 66*- 6" to the top of the roof. The wall is 3 feet thick below the grade at elevation 100'-0* and 2 feet thick above the grade. Out of. plane lateral support is provided to the wall by the Door slabs on either side of it and the roof at the top. Wall 7.3 is designed for the applicable loads described in subsection 3H.3.3. . l For v:Aous segments of this wall, the corresponding goveming load combination and associated design loads :.re shown in Table 3H.5-4. l Table 3H.5 5 presents the details of the wall reinforcement. De actual reinforcement provided is compared to the required reinforcement area for each wall segment. Typical wall reinforcement is also shown on Figure 3H.5-4 3H.5.1.3 Wall at Column Line L The wall at column line L is a shear wall on the west side of the Main Control Room. It extends from the top c:f the basemat at elevation 66'-6" to the top of the roof. The wall is 2 Jeet thick. Out-of plane lateral support is provided to the wall by the floor slabs on either side of it and the roof at the top. The segment of the wall that is a part of the main control room boundary is from elevation 117t6" to elevation 135'-3". The auxiliary building design loads are described in subsection 3H.3.3, and the wall is designed for the applicable loads. In addition to the dead, live and seismic loads, the wall is designed to withstand a 5 pounds per squaa inch pressure load due to a pipe break in the MSIV room even though it is a break exclusion area. This wall segment is also designed to withstand a jet load due to the pipe break. The goveming load combination and associated design loads are shown in Table 3H.5-6. Revision: 20 (Draft) T Westinghouse 3H 1I january 9,1998

Appendix 3H Auxillary Building Critical Sections Table 3H.5-7 presents the details of the wall reinforcement. De actual reinforcement provided is compared to the required reinforcrment area for each wall segment. 3 H.5,1,4 Wall at Column Line 11 ' The north wall of the MSIV cast compartment, at column line 1I between elevation .I17'-6" and elevation 153'-0", has been identified as a critical section. De segment of the wall between elevation i17'-6" and elevation 135'-3"is 4 feet thick, and several pipes such as the main steam line, main feed water line, and the stan.up feed water , line are anchored to this wall at the interface with the turbine building. The wall segment from elevation 135'-3" to elevation 153'-0" does not provide suppon to'any high energy lines, and is 2 feet thick. His ponion does not have to withstand reactions fmm high energy line breaks. De wall is designed to withstand loads such as the dead load, live load, seismic load and the thermal load. The MSIV room is a break exclusion area, but the design also considered the loads associated with pipe rupture in the MSIV room, such as compartment pressurization, jet load, and th.: reactions at the pipe anchors. 'the loads on the pipe anchor include pipe rupture loads for breaks in the turbine building. The wall structure is analyzed using three dimensional finite element analyses. Analyses are performed for individual loads, and design loads are determined for applicable load combinations from Tab:e 3.8.4-2. E J-4= _ p'c=d .'U. A e.nayug ..cc for

3H.5.1.5 Shield Building Cylinder at Elevation 180'-0" The thickness of the cylindrical ponion of the shield building wall is 3 feet. The wall is designed for the applicable loads described in subsection .,H.3 3. A detailed finite element analysis is performed to determine the design forces. "The amount of reinfortement in horizontal and vertical directions provided on each face is same.

De load combinations applicable to the design of these floors are shown in Tables 3.8.4-1 l and 3.8.4-2. The design of the floor system is performed in two parts:

  • Design of structural steel beams he structural steel floor beams an evaluated to withstand the weight of wet concrete during the placement of concrete. The composite section is checked for the design loads during nonnal and extreme environment conditions. Shear connectors are also designed.
  • Design of concrete slab The concrete slab and the steel reinforcement of the composite section are evaluated for normal and extreme environmental conditions. The slab concrete and the reinforcement is designed to meet the requirements of American Concrete Institute standard ACI 349-90 " Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety related Structures."

l i The slab design considers the in-plane and out-of plane seismic forces. He global in-plane and out-of-plane forces are obtained from the response spectrum analysis of the 3D finite element model of the auxiliary and shield buildings. De out-of plane seismic forces due to floor self-excitation are determined by hand calculations using the applicable vertical seismic response spectrum and slab frequency.

De concrete slab is 15 inches thick, plus 4.5-inch deep metal deck ribs. It is composite with 5 feet deep plate girders, spaced 14' 2" center to center, by using shear connectors. The girder flanges are 20" x 2" and the web is 56" x 7/16." The girders span approximately 64 feet in the north-south dirredon and are designed as simply supported. The concrete slab between the girders behaves as a one way slab and is designed to span between the girders. De roof girders are designed for dead and live loads, including construction loads (with wet concretc) with simple support end conditions. A one-third increase in allowable stress is permitted for the constru: tion load combination. De giniers are also evaluated as part of the composite beam after drying of concrete. De composite roof structure is designed to withstand dead and live load / snow load, as well as the wind, tomado and seismic loads. Revision: 20 (Draft) T Westlrighouse 3H-14 January 9,1998

For positive bending, tne concrete above the neutral ax's carri s compressive stresses and the stiffened steel plate re:ists tension. Negative bending compression is resisted by the stiffened plate and tension by top rebars in the concrete. De neutral axis for negative bending is located in the stiffened plate section, and the concrete in tension is assumed inactive. Horizontal in plane forces are resisted by the stiffened r are and longitudinal rebars. Minimum top reinforcement is provided in the slab in each direction for shrinkage and temperature crack control. in addition, top reinfortement located parallel to tne stiffeners is used as tension reinforcement in negative bending. De stiffened plate provides crack control capability for the bottom of the slab in the transverse direction.

The concrete filled structural wall modules are designed as reinforced concrete structures in accordance with the requirements of ACI 349. %e face plates are treated as reinforcing steel. Methods of analysis are based on accepted principles of structural mechanics and are consistent with the gecmetry and boundary conditions of the stmetures. Both computer codes and hand calculations are used. Table 3H.5 8 shows the magnitude of typical design loads, load combinations, and the required and provided plate thickness for cenain critical locations. The steel plates are generally half inch tNck. The plate tNckness is increased close to the bottom of the gate through the wall where the opening results in high local member forces.

The reinforcement required and provided is summarized in sheet I of Table 3H.5 9. 3 H.5.6.2 Column (shear wall) between air inlets The column between the air inlets has plan dimensions of 36" x 138" and is 60" high. Its primary loading is vertical load due to dead and seismic loads and horizontal seismic shear. It is designed as a low dse shear wall. The axial compression is about 1200 kips under nonnat operating loads. SSE seismic loads result in maximum axialloads of about 1700 kips.

The 2900 klps compression corresponds to an axial compressive stress of about 600 psi. These loads and the associated bendirig moments esult in a maximum concrete compressive stress of 1400 psi and a maximum concrete tensile stress of 800 psi at the base of the colu:.m assuming gross runcrete section properties.
