Fiber Penetration and Head Loss Testing Approach Meeting with NRC April 12, 2016 1
Outline
- Communicate Wolf Creek testing approach for fiber penetration and strainer head loss
- Overview of Wolf Creek Testing Program
- Fiber Penetration Testing Approach
- Strainer Head Loss Testing Approach 2
Overview of Sump Strainers Strainer A Strainer B 3
Overview of Testing Program
- Perform tank tests at Alden for fiber penetration and Flow strainer head loss Direction
- Use prototypical strainer Test modules for head loss testing Strainer
- Modify prototypical strainer modules for penetration Debris Introduction testing to eliminate bridging & Mixing
- Test strainer modules have Section same disk size, perforation size and core tube diameter Plenum as the plant strainer Box
- Maintain turbulence level for complete transport of fine To Flow debris 4 Loop
Overview of Testing Program (contd)
- Use methods previously reviewed by the NRC
- Similar to recent tank tests for Florida Power & Light at Alden witnessed by the NRC staff
- Follow NEI guidance on fibrous debris preparation*
- Determine threshold debris load that meets in-vessel and head loss criteria using test results
- Projected test start date: May 9, 2016 ZOI Fibrous Debris Preparation: Processing, Storage and Handling, Rev. 1, Jan 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120481057) 5
Fiber Penetration Testing Approach
- Develop a curve fit from testing data to characterize rates of prompt and long-term penetration
- Apply curve fit to quantify total fiber penetration for the fiber load of each break at bounding plant conditions
- Determine compliance with the in-vessel fibrous debris quantity limit (WCAP-17788)
- Perform 30-day extrapolation for total fiber penetration as input to ex-vessel downstream effects analysis 6
Prevent Bridging for Penetration Testing
- Modified prototype strainer to eliminate possible bridging of fiber between adjacent disks, and between the strainer and its surrounding walls
- Preventing bridging in fiber-only penetration testing allows fiber to reach the perf plates and is conservative
- Test strainer module modification
- Remove every other disk
- Remove seismic cables
- Increase distance between edges of test strainer and surrounding walls
- Measured fiber penetration per unit area will be applied to the plant strainer surface area 7
Penetration Testing Conditions
- Prototypical pool chemistry at max pH (9.6)
- Testing temperature 120°F +/- 5°F
- Max strainer approach velocity (0.00612 ft/s)
- Prototypical fibrous debris concentrations
- Pool fiber concentration defined as total fiber quantity divided by pool volume
- Fiber concentration in test tank maintained at or below the prototypical value to allow debris bed to form slowly 8
Fiber Preparation and Introduction
- Nukon sheets baked single-sided into half thickness and cut into 2 x 2 cubes
- Debris preparation per the latest NEI Guidance*
- Fiber will be added to the test tank in batches
- Batching size will increase gradually to facilitate fiber bed formation on test strainer
- Total test fiber quantity will bound the max fiber load of largest DEGB ZOI Fibrous Debris Preparation: Processing, Storage and Handling, Rev. 1, Jan 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120481057) 9
Collect Time-Dependent Penetration Data
- Penetrated fiber collected in 5-µm filter bags
- Each batch begins with a set of clean bags
- To measure long-term penetration, extended runtime and multiple bag changes will be done for selected batches
- Total runtime of the test exceeds duration from start of an accident to hot leg recirculation switchover
- A curve-fit will be developed to adequately model and bound testing results
- The curve-fit characterizes both prompt and long-term penetration 10
Head Loss Testing Approach
- Measure debris bed head loss for debris loading of various break sizes on a prototypical test module
- No modifications to test modules as done for penetration testing
- Chemical debris will not be added until all conventional debris has been introduced to test tank and head loss allowed to stabilize
- Perform flow sweeps for adjusting measured head losses to plant conditions
- After adding all conventional debris and at end of test 11
Head Loss Testing Approach (contd)
- Perform temperature sweep after adding all conventional debris to characterize debris bed
- Head Loss Test Conditions:
- Prototypical sump water chemistry at min pH (8.7)
- Test temperature approximately 120°F +/- 5°F
- Approach velocity from max strainer flow rate and net strainer surface area (0.00615 ft/s)
- Two head loss tests planned
- Test 1: Full Debris Load Test
- Test 2: Thin Bed Test
- Contingency test may be conducted depending on results of previous tests 12
Test 1: Full Debris Load Test
- Fibrous and particulate debris batched into test tank as homogeneous mixtures
- Addition of conventional debris ends when head loss is near prescribed value based on pump NPSH margin and strainer structural limit
- No alternating additions of fiber fines and small pieces 13
Test 1: Full Debris Load Test (contd)
- Cumulative conventional debris quantities of intermediate batches match debris loads of multiple break sizes
- Head loss allowed to stabilize before continuing addition
- Chemical debris batched into test tank after completing all conventional debris addition
- Head loss allowed to stabilize after each addition 14
Test 2: Thin Bed Test
- Particulate debris load for Test 2 will be informed by the threshold breaks identified in Test 1
- Particulate debris added to test tank at the beginning of test
- Nukon fiber fines added in batches until thin-bed conditions are met
- Chemical debris batched in afterwards 15
Test Debris Types Test Materials Debris Types at Plant Nukon
- Fibrous Content of Thermolag Pulverized Acrylic or
- IOZ, Epoxy and Alkyds Silicon Flour (10 µm)
- Particulate Content of Thermolag PCI PWR Dirt/Dust Mix* Latent Particulate Aluminum Oxyhydroxide Aluminum Precipitate Debris The size distribution of PCI PWR Dirt/Dust Mix meets requirements in Appendix VII of NEI 04-07 for surrogate of latent particulate debris 16
Quantity of Chemical Debris
- Evaluated chemical precipitate quantities using deterministic method per WCAP-16530-NP-A
- Max sump pool mass and temperature to increase aluminum release
- Max pH to increase aluminum release
- Conservatively higher aluminum inventory
- Max quantities of E-Glass of largest DEGB 17
Closing
- Wolf Creek is planning to use methods previously reviewed by the NRC staff
- Penetration data will be used to develop a curve fit that can be applied to any debris load (up to max for WCNOC)
- Head Loss test results will establish a threshold debris load
- Analysis will determine the threshold debris load that meets both the in-vessel and head loss criteria
- Threshold debris load will determine the break sizes that pass deterministically 18
Closing
