High-Energy Line Break Analysis (HELBA),
Pipe Whip Restraint Designs INTERIM REPORT 1 DATE: September 11, 1980 PROJECT: Consumers Power Company Midland Plant Units 1 and 2 Bechtel Job 7220 Introduction This report is submitted regarding the interim status and actions pursuant to the subject MCAR.
Description of Discrepancy FSAR Section 3.6.2.2 states that the analysis of the thrust forces which result in the event of a pipe rupture is described in BN-TOP-2. Con-trary to the intent of BN-TOP-2, the steady-state thrust forces rather than the transient peak thrust forces were used in the energy balance techniques for the design of RELBA pipe whip restraints (see attachment, Figure B). Design documents have been released for construction /fabri-cation and most of the restraints have been installed.
Cause The cause of this discrepancy has been identified as a misinterpretation of the requirements of BN-TOP-2.
Safety Implication The safety-related function of a pipe whip restraint is to limit pipe movecent following a high-energy line break to prevent unacceptable damage to essential systems or components. Designing the restraint using the steady-state thrust force instead of the higher transient thrust force could compromise this safety function. The size of the restraints may be inadequate for the increased loads, and/or their location may be inadequate as a higher thrust force may cause the plastic hinge length to decrease outside the range of the restraint. Th. deficiency, were it to have remained uncorrected, may have adversely affected the safety of operations
, at the Midland plant if certain types of accidents were to occur.
Analytical Re' valuation Action The affected restraints are being reevaluated using conservative thrust force time-histories input to energy balance and/or time history methods as described in BN-TOP-2.
Bechtel Associates Professional Corporation Oil 918 MCAR 40 Interim Report 1 September 11, 1980 Page 2 Corrective Action Corrective action depends upon the results of the analytical reevaluation.
Forecast Dates The next interim report is scheduled to be issued by November 21, 1980.
Reportability
', This condition was reported by Constpers Power Company to the NRC as a potential 10 CFR 50.55(e) reportable condition on August 21, 1980.
A 30-day report is due to be sent to the NRC on September 20, 1980.
