FINAL INTEGRATED PLANApril2016 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station associatedwiththe FLEX Strategy.The method of analysisusedto evaluate the existing containmentwallwas based on the following steps:..The design calculations (Reference3.47)were reviewed for thermal loading conditions to establish the maximum design temperatureusedinthe analysis;*The design calculations were reviewed to identify the critical load combinations;*The design calculations were reviewed to identify the most critical locationsinthe containmentwall;and..The design calculations were reviewed to ensure that the stresses and strainsinthe concrete, reinforcingsteeland linerplatedidnot exceed the allowable limits.Forthenew temperatureof233°F, thermal loads were evaluated using temperature increase ratios.The analysis (Reference 3.42)determinedthatthe structural integrityofthe existing containmentwallis satisfactory subjecttothesmall temperature increasesatthepeak temperatures associatedwiththe FLEX Strategy as describedinthe FLEX Basis engineering evaluation, EC50275 (Reference 3.21).2.5.5 Key Containment Parameters In additiontothekey containment parameters requiredbyNEI12-06, containment pressure,
