RSIs and Responses - Public                                                  Enclosure 3 to E-62384 RSI 3-2:
Provide descriptions of the basic installed configurations of an EOS-HSM-SC, e.g., single, one-row array, or two-row array that are documented in the SAR. Indicate in the SAR section 3.9.8 which HSM-SC configuration is being evaluated for each structural compliance check, noting whether that configuration bounds all possible configurations and a rationale behind these statements.
SAR and technical specification (TS) sections provide seemingly conflicting information regarding the expected installation configuration. This conflict creates doubt as to whether the most conservative configuration has been evaluated. A list of noted general conflicts follows: 1)
TS sections 4.5.1 and 5.1.2.b only mention rear shield wall, 2) SAR section 1.1 mentions rear and end shear walls, but also states that empty interior modules can be employed in lieu of shield walls, 3) SAR section 1.2.1.3 mentions rear and end walls, but also states that end walls will be employed between modules, 4) SAR section 3.9.8.1 mentions rear and end walls.
Furthermore, the stability analyses, (e.g., SAR sections 2.3.4, 3.6.2 and 3.9.7), seem to consider several different variations: a) one end wall is present, b) one end wall is present and reevaluation is performed omitting it, and c) end and rear walls are present.
This information is necessary to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 72.236(b), (d) and (l).
Original Response to RSI 3-2:
The HSM-SC, as with the HSM-RC, can be arranged either in a single-row array, or in back-to-back double row arrays. In either configuration, end shield walls are installed at each end of a module array to provide the required missile and shielding protection. During installation, however, two or more empty modules can be substituted for the end walls until the array is fully built. Because of this allowance, end shield walls are omitted from TS Section 4.5.1. The thick concrete side walls between EOS-HSMs described in UFSAR Section 1.2.1.3 refer to the wall of the HSM base itself, not end (side) shield walls. Independent side shield walls are generally not installed between modules within a given array. However, in certain instances, where the complete array is not built in one phase, the general licensees may prefer to install an end (side) wall in lieu of empty HSMs and complete the array later by adding HSMs at a later date. Only in single-row arrays are rear shield walls installed along the back of each module. There are no rear shield walls installed between modules of a back-to-back double row array.
All the structural analyses in UFSAR Section 3.9.8 consider an individual module as a conservative estimate of the response of the EOS-HSM-SC structural elements under the postulated static and dynamic loads for any EOS-HSM-SC array configuration. As with the HSM-RC structural analyses, the only checks that consider the shield walls are the tornado missile evaluation (end and rear shield walls), and stability checks (end shield wall only). It is clear that either end or rear shield walls may be subject to impacts from tornado missiles and, therefore, must be evaluated. Following the previously approved method of evaluation for the HSM-RC, all the stability evaluations in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.11 conservatively consider a single module with one end shield wall and ignore the rear shield wall and corner block because there never exists a freestanding, loaded HSM with nothing on either side.
UFSAR Section 2.3.4 has been revised to remove mention of stability evaluations with no shield wall, and instead state that the seismic stability response of a single, freestanding HSM with an end shield wall is considered.

RSIs and Responses - Public                                                  Enclosure 3 to E-62384 Original Impact:
UFSAR Section 2.3.4 has been revised as described in the response.
Supplemental Response to RSI 3-2:
The original responses to RSI 3-2 incorrectly stated that ALL EOS-HSM-SC stability analyses considered only a single end shield wall. The evaluations of overturning due to tornado wind and missile impact, flood loads, and seismic loads conservatively consider a single end shield wall. The evaluations of sliding due to the same loads consider two end shield walls as the minimum configuration of a single HSM-SC, with the exception of the static sliding analysis due to seismic load, which is not sensitive to the weight of the HSM-SC or its contents. UFSAR Sections 2.3.1.2, 2.3.4, 3.9.7.1.8.1.4, 3.9.7.1.8.2.1, 3.9.7.1.8.2.2, 3.9.7.1.8.3.2, 3.9.8.7, 3.9.8.11.2, 3.9.8.11.3, 3.9.8.11.4, and 12.3.3 have been updated to reflect this.
UFSAR Section 3.6.2 has been updated to clarify that 135 kips DSC weight is considered for stress analyses, while stability analysis consider a range of DSC weights.
Calculation EOS01-0268 Revision 1, documenting the stability evaluation for the HSM-SC, is included in Enclosure 9 of this submittal.
Supplemental Impact:
UFSAR Sections 2.3.1.2, 2.3.4, 3.6.2, 3.9.7.1.8.1.4, 3.9.7.1.8.2.1, 3.9.7.1.8.2.2, 3.9.7.1.8.3.2, 3.9.8.7, 3.9.8.11.2, 3.9.8.11.3, 3.9.8.11.4, and 12.3.3 have been updated as described in the response.

RSIs and Responses - Public                                                Enclosure 3 to E-62384 RSI 3-6:
Provide stability analysis information for the NUHOMS EOS HSM-SC and document in the SAR.
SAR section 3.9.8.11 addresses the stability analyses for tornado wind and missile impact, flood, seismic, and interaction with adjacent horizontal storage modules. The description of the stability analyses in this section references a corresponding analysis described in SAR section 3.9.7 for the NUHOMS EOS HSM-RC, often simply stating a resulting factor of safety for each analysis or that the HMS-RC results are bounding. Referencing the previous analysis may be sufficient to describe certain aspects of the analysis, such as the methodology, if they are identical to those used to analyze the HSM-SC. However, this approach does not highlight how aspects of the analysis that are unique to the HSM-SC (e.g., horizontal storage module (HSM) configuration and self-weight) are considered. It also does not document the numerical analysis results that form the basis of the reported factor of safety for each loading condition.
The staff notes that the design basis tornado wind and missile evaluation results presented in SAR section 3.9.8.11.2 show sliding occurring for a single HSM-SC. SAR section 3.9.8.11.5 states that the results are conservative when the interaction of adjacent modules is considered.
Provide justification for not meeting the guidance provided in table 4-3 of NUREG-2215, which requires a safety factor of 1.1, and how this safety factor is met with a multi-module configuration.
SAR sections 2.3.4 and 3.9.8.9 reference CoC No. 1029 (for the Advanced NUHOMS Horizontal Modular Storage System) as the basis for the stability evaluation methodology employed for the HSM-SC dynamic analyses. The methodology is not easily identifiable by external reference and its content should appear in this SAR for configuration control purposes.
The information in SAR section 3.9.8.11 is insufficient for the staff to begin its review of the stability of the HSM-SC. The staff notes that section 4.5.4.1 of NUREG-2215 discusses the information necessary for the review of hand calculations like those typically used for stability analyses.
This information is necessary to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 72.236(b), (d) and (l).
Original Response to RSI 3-6:
The stability analyses performed for the HSM-SC are identical methodologically to those performed for the HSM-RC and detailed in UFSAR Section 3.9.7. There are no aspects of the stability analysis that are unique to the HSM-SC. The assumptions, load combinations, and configurations considered are the same except as noted in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.11.1. The only distinctions are numerical (weight, for example), but the same formulae presented in UFSAR Section 3.9.7.1.8 are applied to produce the factors of safety presented for the HSM-SC.
The cases that simply state that the HSM-RC analysis is bounding were not explicitly recalculated. Both the dynamic and time-dependent overturning analysis of tornado wind concurrent with massive missile impact loading performed for the HSM-RC resulted in a large safety factor (over 20 for the dynamic analysis, and over 6 for the time-dependent analysis). The interior and exterior dimensions of the HSM-SC compared to the HSM-RC are negligibly different, and the minimum HSM-SC weight accounting for the minimum concrete weight density is heavier compared to the HSM-RC. Similarly, the end shield wall used for the HSM-SC is considered similar in dimensions and weight to the end shield walls used for the HSM-RC.
Finally, the maximum weight of the DSC for the HSM-SC is the same as used for the HSM-RC.
The increased weight of the HSM-SC increases the stabilizing moment. The change in CG height of the HSM-SC compared to the HSM-RC is considered negligible. Due to the large Page 8 of 38
 
RSIs and Responses - Public                                                Enclosure 3 to E-62384 safety factors calculated for these cases in the HSM-RC with the same methodology, it was concluded that the HSM-SC has similar safety factors and is therefore acceptable.
The value of 1.09 inches of sliding presented in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.11.2 represents a conservative theoretical maximum sliding case including a safety factor of 1.1 for a single HSM-SC module with one shield wall. In actual scenarios, this sliding distance could not be achieved because of energy absorption due to contact with the adjacent module as described in UFSAR Section 3.9.7.1.8.4 for the HSM-RC. Thus, the maximum displacement described in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.11.2 is conservative and bounding.
The statements in UFSAR Sections 2.3.4 and 3.9.8.9 that reference the CoC 1029 [1] dynamic analysis methodology concern the use of LS-DYNA for non-linear, dynamic seismic stability analyses of the HSM as described in Section 11.2.1.2.1 and Appendix B.11.2.1.2.1 of the CoC 1029 UFSAR. As discussed in response to RAI 3-1 for Amendment 0 to CoC 1042 [2], this is similar to the approach presented in Sections 2.3.4 and 3.9.4.9.2 of the UFSAR and Item 5 of Section 4.5.3 of Technical Specification for the HSM-RC wherein a provision for dynamic analyses has been provided if necessary. It is only the case that should such analyses be required to meet site specific requirements, and/or at sites where the response spectra at the base of the HSM are larger than analyzed herein, they must be performed in accordance with the previously accepted methodology documented in the CoC 1029 UFSAR utilizing the provisions of 10 CFR 72.48. As such, there is little reason to explicitly detail the methodology for analyses whose results are not presented in this UFSAR.

No change as a result of this RSI.
Supplemental Response to RSI 3-6:
Additional analysis has been performed to validate the stability of the EOS-HSM-SC under concurrent tornado wind and massive missile impact loading. As was performed for the EOS-HSM-RC, a dynamic and time-dependent analysis were performed, and are documented in calculation EOS01-0268 Rev. 1, included in Enclosure 9 of this submittal.
The loaded EOS-HSM-SC rotates a maximum of 0.5 and 2.91 degrees for the dynamic and time-dependent analyses respectively. This is less than the 21.8 degrees required to overturn the module. UFSAR Section 3.9.8.11.2 has been revised to include these results.
Supplemental Impact:
UFSAR Section 3.9.8.11.2 has been updated as described in the response.

RSIs and Responses - Public                                                  Enclosure 3 to E-62384 RSI 3-8:
Provide information to support the HSM-SC global structural response to missile effects in SAR section 3.9.8.10.6.2, as follows:
a) Provide additional structural component input information, i.e., thickness and length.
b) Provide the rationale behind modifying the idealization of the HSM-SC end walls from a simply-supported plate model in SAR section 3.9.4.10.6.2 to a simply-supported beam in section 3.9.8.10.6.2.
c) Provide a summary of resulting ductility ratios for each component evaluated.
d) Clearly document in the appropriate sections of the SAR whether credit is taken for the presence of shield walls acting as missile barriers when evaluating the contiguous HSM-SC overpack structure for compliance with codes and regulations for missile loading effects.
e) Provide SAR Reference 3.9.8-12: Bechtel Corporation Design Guide Number C-2.45 for Design of Structures for Tornado Missile Impact, revision 0, April 1982.
The global structural analysis for tornado missile effects in SAR section 3.9.8.10.6.2 relies on single degree-of-freedom response charts and methodology from the cited reference to determine ductility ratios for various structural components of the HSM-SC. The SAR description in this section points to section 3.9.4.10.6.2 for a description of the methodology, which does not identify the input parameters such as thicknesses or lengths of the structural components being considered in the evaluation. Thus, it is unclear whether the HSM-SC evaluation is based on the end and rear shield walls, or those of the contiguous HSM-SC overpack. Section 2.4.2.1 of Ingecid Calculation 00624IT004, Rev. 0, (included in application 2) states that all HSM-SC walls except the front wall are considered as interior (as defined by the Code) due to the presence of shield walls. This statement implies that the majority of the contiguous HSM-SC walls are not affected by missile impacts, an assumption that was not found to be clearly stated in the body of the SAR. In either case, no rationale is provided for the difference in the end wall support conditions between the HSM-RC and HSM-SC sections, or why the magnitude of the tabulated results is so disparate. The resulting ductility ratios for each HSM-SC component evaluated are not presented in SAR section 3.9.8.10.6.2, thus it is not possible to verify that they are within acceptable Code-prescribed limits. The staff notes that section 4.5.4.1 of NUREG-2215 discusses the information necessary for the review of hand calculations like those employed to determine component ductility ratios. This additional information, as well as a copy of the cited reference, are required to proceed with the review of the HSM-SC global structural response from missile effects.
This information is necessary to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 72.236(b), (d) and (l).
Original Response to RSI 3-8:
Item a:
As noted in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.1, the configuration of the HSM-SC, in terms of component dimensions and thicknesses, is essentially the same as that of the HSMS-FPS-RC, and component overall dimensions are identified on UFSAR Drawing EOS01-3300-SAR. The following thicknesses are applicable for the HSM-SC:
* 44-inch thick roof Page 17 of 38
 
RSIs and Responses - Public                                                Enclosure 3 to E-62384
* 42-inch thick front wall
* 36-inch thick end shield wall
* 36-inch thick rear shield wall
* 31.5-inch thick shielding door Item b:
The HSM-SC end shield wall was evaluated considering both the simply supported plate, and simply supported beam idealization models. Modeling the shield wall as a beam produced more conservative results, so the more conservative idealization is reported in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.10.6.2.
Item c:
Item d:
The structural response of each of the five components listed above is evaluated individually and independently of other components. These are the only components that may interface with missile loading. The side and back walls of the contiguous HSM-SC are not evaluated for missile loading since they are always blocked by either another module or a shield wall.
Similarly, no credit is taken for the contiguous HSM-SC walls behind the shield walls in the evaluations of the rear and end shield walls other than as simple supports.
Item e:
Reference 1 is attached to this RSI response as Enclosure 10.

Provide information for the determination of structural acceptability of the ITS connecting items of the HSM-SC, including vertical rods, roof connection angle and bolts, and connections bolts for door, shield walls, and OVC, as follows:
a) Identify materials, design codes, and design load combinations for each item.
b) Provide bounding structural design load demands resulting from design load combinations for each component being evaluated.
c) Provide the structural capacities per the applicable design code.
d) Provide demand-to-capacity ratios for all connection components.
The staff notes that the materials specifications of some of the listed items are included in SAR table 8-2. It is also noted that demand-to-capacity ratios for the heat shield connectors are reported in SAR section 3.9.8.10.4, however, no indication of the design code, material strength or load combinations considered is provided. The information in SAR section 3.9.8 is insufficient for the staff to begin its review of the HSM-SC.
This information is necessary to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 72.236(b), (d) and (l).
Original Response to RSI 3-10:
All HSM-SC connections and embedments and the methodology employed for their design are identical to those for the HSM-RC design as described below. Note that the roof connection angles, bolts, and embedments are not-important-to-safety, as noted in response to RSI 3-4, and, therefore, are omitted from this response.  [
                                                            ]
The material for the vertical threaded rods connecting the upper and lower segments of the HSM-SC is ASTM A722 Gr 150. The material for all other fasteners and embedments, including the door, shield wall, outlet vent cover, and heat shield threaded rods is ASTM A193 Gr B7.
The embedments are designed to the requirements of Appendix D of ACI 349-06, as referenced in Section N9.4.3 of AISC N690-18. The bolts and external threaded rod connections are designed in accordance with the AISC Manual of Steel Construction. The load combinations considered are the same as for the HSM-RC design as shown in UFSAR Table 3.9.4-5.
UFSAR Section 3.9.8.10.7 and Tables 3.9.8-5 and 3.9.8-6 have been added to include the requested bounding demands, capacities, and demand-to-capacity ratios for the HSM-SC connection components. UFSAR Section 3.9.8.12 has been updated to add ACI 349-06, Appendix D as Reference 3.9.8-13.

As in the EOS-HSM-RC the steel components of the EOS-HSM-SC; including the FPS DSC support structure, heat shields, and axial retainer; are designed in accordance with the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings using the Allowable Strength Design (ASD) methodology. As stated in the original response to this RSI, the concrete embedments are designed to the requirements of Appendix D of ACI 349-06, whereas bolts and external threaded rod connections are designed in accordance with the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings using the ASD methodology. These embedments and connecting items are subject to the same load combinations as the rest of the EOS-HSM-SC structure; that is those load combinations prescribed by ANSI 57.9 as detailed in UFSAR Table 2-7 for concrete and steel components, respectively. UFSAR Sections 3.9.8.3 and 3.9.8.10.7 have been updated to clarify the design methodology and load combinations. Calculation EOS01-0330 Revision 0 documenting the evaluation of connection bolts and embedments for the EOS-HSM-SC is included in Enclosure 9 of this submittal.
Drawing EOS01-3300-SAR has been updated to include the supplementary reinforcement at the locations where it is considered for the structural safety evaluation of the embedments.
The reference in UFSAR Sections 3.9.8.3 and 3.9.8.10.7 has been changed from AISC Manual of Steel Construction to AISC Specification for Structural Buildings, and the reference has been revised in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.12.

RSIs and Responses - Public                                                  Enclosure 3 to E-62384 RSI 3-11:
Provide information in the SAR for the HSM-SC heat shield structural adequacy check, including determination of associated in-structure response spectra (ISRS).
SAR section 3.9.8.10.4 addresses the heat shield design for the HSM-SC, referring to HSM-RC section 3.9.4.10.4, stating that the design is identical. However, SAR section 3.9.8.9 explains that a modal time history analysis of the HSM-SC is performed to obtain ISRS for the heat shield support points. This statement implies that different ISRS than those for the heat shields of the HSM-RC, as presented in figures 3.9.4-16 to -21, are employed to determine the response of the heat shield plates and support bolts. Based on the resulting heat shield plate and bolt results presented in SAR section 3.9.8.10.4, it appears that the resulting load demands are in fact different than those for the HSM-RC. Additionally, the design code, materials and load combinations employed for the structural adequacy check of the plates and bolts are not identified in the SAR. The information in SAR section 3.9.8.10.4 is insufficient for the staff to begin its review of the HSM-SC heat shields.
This information is necessary to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 72.236(b), (d) and (l).
Original Response to RSI 3-11:
The heat shields and support bolts for the HSM-SC are identical in terms of dimensions, materials, quantity, design code, and applicable load combinations to those used in the HSM-FPS-RC, as described in UFSAR Section 3.9.8.10.4. As such, the modal frequencies and mass participation factors are also identical to those presented in SAR Table 3.9.4-24 and Table 3.9.4-25a. However, the HSM-SC module itself is certain to produce slightly different spectral accelerations at the heat shield mounting points than the HSM-RC. Therefore, to validate the adequacy of the existing heat shield design for implementation in the HSM-SC, the same method of evaluation used for the HSM-RC and detailed in UFSAR Section 3.9.4.9.2, is repeated to determine the ISRS of the HSM-SC at the heat shield support locations and resulting equivalent static loads. This difference in equivalent static load, which is a result of different responses within the HSM module rather than differences in the heat shields or supports themselves, explains the discrepancy in load demands between the HSM-SC and HSM-RC.
UFSAR Figures 3.9.8-5 through 3.9.8-10 have been added to present the ISRS at the side and roof heat shield support points for the HSM-SC. UFSAR Section 3.9.8.9 has been revised to reference these figures and provide clarity that heat shield design is unchanged between the HSM-SC and HSM-FPS-RC, but the design loads differ due to HSM response.
Original Impact:
UFSAR Figure 3.9.8-5 through Figure 3.9.8-10 have been added as described in the response.
UFSAR Section 3.9.8.9 has been revised as described in the response.

The heat shield plates and bolts are subject to the same load combinations as the rest of the EOS-HSM-SC structure; that is those load combinations prescribed by ANSI 57.9 as detailed in UFSAR Table 2-7 for steel components. Given that the concrete shields the heat shields from wind, missile and flood loading, the accident-earthquake load combination governs. UFSAR Section 3.9.8.5 has been updated to clarify the heat shield design methodology and load combinations. Calculation EOS01-0320 Rev. 1 documenting the evaluation of the heat shields for the EOS-HSM-SC is included in Enclosure 9 of this submittal.

Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)
DAMAGED FUEL                        DAMAGED FUEL assemblies are fuel assemblies containing fuel rods with known or suspected cladding defects greater than hairline cracks or pinhole leaks. The extent of damage in the fuel assembly, including non-cladding damage, is to be limited so that a fuel assembly maintains its configuration for normal and off-normal conditions.
The extent of cladding damage is also limited so that no release of pellet material is observed during inspection and handling operations in the pool prior to loading operations. DAMAGED FUEL assemblies shall also contain top and bottom end fittings. DAMAGED FUEL assemblies may also contain missing or partial fuel rods.
DRY SHIELDED                        An EOS-37PTH DSC, EOS-89BTH DSC, and CANISTER (DSC)                      61BTH Type 2 DSC are sealed containers that provide confinement of fuel in an inert atmosphere.
FAILED FUEL                        FAILED FUEL is defined as ruptured fuel rods, severed fuel rods, loose fuel pellets, fuel fragments, or fuel assemblies that may not maintain configuration for normal or off-normal conditions.
FAILED FUEL may contain breached rods, grossly breached rods, or other defects such as missing or partial rods, missing grid spacers, or damaged spacers to the extent that the assembly may not maintain configuration for normal or off-normal conditions. FAILED FUEL shall be stored in a failed fuel canister (FFC).
FUEL BUILDING                      The FUEL BUILDING is the site-specific area or facility where the LOADING OPERATIONS take place.
FUEL CLASS                          A FUEL CLASS includes fuel assemblies of the same array size for a particular type of fuel design.
For example, WEV 17x17, WEO 17x17, and ANP Advanced MK BW 17x17 fuel assemblies are part of a WE 17x17 FUEL CLASS.

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0  USE AND APPLICATION Logical Connectors PURPOSE          The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.
Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions, Completion Times, Surveillances, and Frequencies. The only logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and OR. The physical arrangement of these connectors constitutes logical conventions with specific meanings.
BACKGROUND        Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions. These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action. The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the logical connector in the first level of nesting (i.e., left justified with the number of the Required Action).
The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors.
When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.
EXAMPLES          The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors:
EXAMPLE 1.2-1 ACTIONS:
COMPLETION CONDITION                    REQUIRED ACTION TIME A. LCO (Limiting                A.1      Verify Condition for AND Operation) not met.
A.2      Restore In this example the logical connector AND is used to indicate that when in Condition A, both Required Actions A.1 and A.2 must be completed.

ACTIONS:
COMPLETION CONDITION              REQUIRED ACTION TIME A. LCO not met.          A.1    Stop OR A.2 A.2.1  Verify AND A.2.2 A.2.2.1 Reduce OR A.2.2.2 Perform OR A.3    Remove This example represents a more complicated use of logical connectors.
Required Actions A.1, A.2, and A.3 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed as indicated by the use of the logical connector OR and the left justified placement. Any one of these three Actions may be chosen. If A.2 is chosen, then both A.2.1 and A.2.2 must be performed as indicated by the logical connector AND. Required Action A.2.2 is met by performing A.2.2.1 or A.2.2.2. The indented position of the logical connector OR indicates that A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed.
EOS System Amendment 4 Proposed Technical Specifications - Revision 2                        1-6
 
Completion Times 1.3 1.0  USE AND APPLICATION Completion Times PURPOSE          The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.
BACKGROUND        Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) specify the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO are not met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Times(s).
DESCRIPTION      The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time of discovery of a situation (e.g., equipment or variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the facility is in a specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the facility is not within the LCO Applicability.
Once a Condition has been entered, subsequent subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition unless specifically stated. The Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.
EXAMPLES          The following examples illustrate the use of Completion Times with different types of Conditions and Changing Conditions.
EXAMPLE 1.3-1 ACTIONS CONDITION                REQUIRED ACTION            COMPLETION TIME B. Required Action      B.1      Perform Action      12 hours and associated                B.1 Completion AND Time not met.
B.2      Perform Action      36 hours B.2 (continued)
EOS System Amendment 4 Proposed Technical Specifications - Revision 2                          1-7
 
Completion Times 1.3 1.3    Completion Times (continued)
EXAMPLES            Condition B has two Required Actions. Each Required Action has its own (continued)        separate Completion Time. Each Completion Time is referenced to the time that Condition B is entered.
The Required Actions of Condition B are to complete action B.1 within 12 hours AND complete action B.2 within 36 hours. A total of 12 hours is allowed for completing action B.1 and a total of 36 hours (not 48 hours) is allowed for completing action B.2 from the time that Condition B was entered. If action B.1 is completed within 6 hours, the time allowed for completing action B.2 is the next 30 hours because the total time allowed for completing action B.2 is 36 hours.
EXAMPLES            EXAMPLE 1.3-2 ACTIONS CONDITION              REQUIRED ACTION          COMPLETION TIME A. One system not      A.1    Restore system    7 days within limit.                to within limit.
B. Required Action      B.1    Perform Action    12 hours and associated              B.1.
Completion Time AND not met.
B.2    Perform Action    36 hours B.2.
When a system is determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered. If the system is not restored within 7 days, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the system is restored after Condition B is entered, Condition A and B are exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.

ACTIONS
                      ------------------------------------------NOTE----------------------------------------------
Separate Condition entry is allowed for each component.
CONDITION                    REQUIRED ACTION                  COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met.              A.1        Restore                  4 hours compliance with LCO.
B. Required Action          B.1        Perform Action          6 hours and associated                      B.1.
Completion Time AND not met.
B.2        Perform Action          12 hours B.2.
The Note above the ACTIONS Table is a method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked. If this method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked was applicable only to a specific Condition, the Note would appear in that Condition rather than at the top of the ACTIONS Table.
The Note allows Condition A to be entered separately for each component, and Completion Times tracked on a per component basis.
When a component is determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered and its Completion Time starts. If subsequent components are determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered for each component and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each component.
IMMEDIATE            When Immediately is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action COMPLETION          should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.

Frequency 1.4 1.0  USE AND APPLICATION Frequency PURPOSE        The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements DESCRIPTION    Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO). An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR.
The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0, Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) and Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR, as well as certain Notes in the Surveillance column that modify performance requirements.
Situations where a Surveillance could be required (i.e., its Frequency could expire), but where it is not possible or not desired that it be performed until sometime after the associated LCO is within its Applicability, represent potential SR 3.0.4 conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, the SR (i.e., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only "required" when it can be and should be performed. With a SR satisfied, SR 3.0.4 imposes no restriction.
(continued)
EOS System Amendment 4 Proposed Technical Specifications - Revision 2                      1-10
 
Frequency 1.4 1.4  Frequency (continued)
EXAMPLES        The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified:
EXAMPLE 1.4-1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE                              FREQUENCY Verify pressure within limit.            12 hours Example 1.4-1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (12 hours) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time. Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 12 hours, an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the stated Frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 3.0.1 (such as when the equipment is determined to not meet the LCO, a variable is outside specified limits, or the unit is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO, the LCO is not met in accordance with SR 3.0.1.
If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is not in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO for which performance of the SR is required, the Surveillance must be performed within the Frequency requirements of SR 3.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 3.0.4.
(continued)
EOS System Amendment 4 Proposed Technical Specifications - Revision 2                      1-11
 
Frequency 1.4 1.4    Frequency (continued)
EXAMPLES            EXAMPLE 1.4-2 (continued)
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE                              FREQUENCY Verify flow is within limits.          Once within 12 hours prior to starting activity AND 24 hours thereafter Example 1.4-2 has two Frequencies. The first is a one-time performance Frequency, and the second is of the type shown in Example 1.4-1. The logical connector AND indicates that both Frequency requirements must be met. Each time the example activity is to be performed, the Surveillance must be performed prior to starting the activity.
The use of once indicates a single performance will satisfy the specified Frequency (assuming no other Frequencies are connected by AND).
This type of Frequency does not qualify for the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2.
Thereafter indicates future performances must be established per SR 3.0.2, but only after a specified condition is first met (i.e., the once performance in this example). If the specified activity is canceled or not performed, the measurement of both intervals stops. New intervals start upon preparing to restart the specified activity.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE                                  FREQUENCY
                    ------------------- NOTE --------------------
Not required to be met until 96 hours after verifying the helium leak rate is within limit.
Verify EOS DSC vacuum drying                    Once after verifying the helium pressure is within limit.                        leak rate is within limit.
As the Note modifies the required performance of the Surveillance, it is construed to be part of the specified Frequency. Should the vacuum drying pressure not be met immediately following verification of the helium leak rate while in LOADING OPERATIONS, this Note allows 96 hours to perform the Surveillance. The Surveillance is still considered to be performed within the specified Frequency.
Once the helium leak rate has been verified to be acceptable, 96 hours, plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2, would be allowed for completing the Surveillance for the vacuum drying pressure. If the Surveillance was not performed within this 96 hour interval, there would then be a failure to perform the Surveillance within the specified Frequency, and the provisions of SR 3.0.3 would apply.

(MHLC) and Decay Heat Calculations Per Figure 11, which specifies maximum allowable heat loads in a six-zone configuration, for transfer in the EOS-TC125.
Heat load zoning configurations (HLZCs) enveloped by the MHLC in Figure 11 are allowed for transfer in the EOS-TC125 and storage in the EOS-HSM or HSM-MX. Chapter 2, Section 2.4.3.2 of the UFSAR provides the specific HLZCs.
The maximum allowable heat loads may be reduced based on the thermal analysis methodology in the UFSAR. However, the maximum decay heat for each FA shall not exceed the values specified in Figure 11.
The licensee is responsible for ensuring that uncertainties in fuel enrichment and burnup are correctly accounted for in the decay heat calculations.
For FAs with active fuel length shorter than 144 inches, reduce the maximum decay heat for each FA in each loading zone of the HLZCs using a scaling factor (SF) as shown below.
qShort FA = qBounding FA  SF ,
La ,Short FA    k eff ,Short FA SF =                                      .
La ,Bounding FA k eff ,Bounding FA Where, keff = Effective conductivity for FA, q = Decay heat load per assembly defined for each loading zone, La = Active fuel length, SF = Scaling factor for short FAs.
The effective conductivity for the shorter FA should be determined using the same methodology documented in the UFSAR.
For FAs with active fuel length greater than 144 inches, no scaling is required and the maximum heat loads listed for each HLZC are applicable.

: 1. The time limit for completion of a DSC transfer is defined as the time elapsed in hours after the initiation of draining of TC/DSC annulus water until the completion of insertion of the DSC into the HSM. For transfer of an EOS-DSC, the time limit for transfer operations is determined based on the EOS-37PTH DSC in EOS-TC125 with the maximum allowable heat load of 50 kW or EOS-89BTH DSC in EOS-TC125 with the maximum allowable heat load of 48.2 kW. If the maximum heat load of a DSC is less than 50 kW for EOS-37PTH DSC or 48.2 kW for the EOS-89BTH DSC, a new time limit can be determined to provide additional time for transfer operations. The calculated time limit shall not be less than the time limit specified in LCO 3.1.3. The calculation should be performed using the same methodology documented in the UFSAR.

If using a single piece bottom forging, the fabrication pressure test may be waived although the helium leak test requirement remains in place. The low test pressure test does not stress a single piece bottom and bottom-to-shell weld sufficiently to cause pre-existing defects to propagate into leaks.

Conservatively, the SC wall is treated as a RC wall for missile loading. The thinner sections of the door are supported by the front wall of the EOS-HSM-SC during missile impact. Therefore, the door meets the specified minimum thickness value of 18 inches for exterior walls. The minimum thickness for interior walls is based on the maximum reinforcement ratio and minimum faceplate thickness. The specified minimum thickness value of 12 inches is conservatively rounded up from the actual minimum of 10 inches as presented in Commentary for Section N9.1.1(a) of N690. Therefore, the sections of the door and OVC that do not meet the specified thickness value of 12 inches, still meet the 10 inch minimum thickness requirement.
N9.1.1(c)                  The reinforcement ratio of SC sections shall  According to AISC Steel Design Guide 32, high have a minimum value of 0.015 and a            reinforcement ratios can potentially result in maximum value of 0.050.                        higher concrete stresses and change the governing in-plane shear limit state from steel faceplate yielding to concrete compression strut failure, which can potentially reduce the strength and ductility of SC walls. The reinforcement ratio for the thin walls of the EOS-HSM-SC minimally (less than 5%) exceeds the ratio of 0.050 and this exceedance facilitates compliance with the faceplate slenderness requirement in Section N9.1.3 of N690-18.
The reinforcement ratio for the top segment of the front wall is marginally less than the minimum reinforcement ratio of 0.015 when the effective thickness of the front wall faceplate is considered. Per Commentary Section N9.1.1(c) of N690, use of a very low reinforcement ratio poses concerns regarding handling strength and stiffness in addition to residual stresses due to fabrication operations and concrete casting.
These concerns are not applicable because the actual thickness is twice as large as the effective thickness.

As presented in the (350 MPa) nor more than 65 ksi (450 MPa). Commentary for Section N9.1.1(d) of N690, the minimum yield strength of faceplates is intended to prevent premature yielding due to residual stresses from concrete casting and thermally induced stresses. The door and OVC are free to grow when subjected to thermal loads and require a concrete volume of relatively low height resulting in insignificant pressure on the faceplates during casting as compared to a large EOS-HSM-SC wall. Therefore, stresses due to thermal growth and residual stress from concrete casting will not contribute to premature yielding of the faceplates in these components.
Additionally, the margins for the door thickness to withstand local damage due to missile attack, ductile capacity for missile impact, and structural adequacy for punching shear are sufficiently large. The margins for the OVC are sufficiently large as well. Therefore, a material meeting the properties of ASTM A36 will have sufficient strength for this application.
N9.1.4b(a)                Steel anchors shall be spaced not to exceed  This requirement ensures that sufficient the minimum spacing required to develop the  composite action exists between the steel yield strength of the faceplates over the    faceplate and concrete. However, the development length.                          requirement does not consider the contribution of ties to available shear strength of the SC component, leading to inefficient designs for those components such as thin walls, for which the density of ties tends to be high. Studies based on finite element analysis demonstrate the contribution of ties to the composite action and show that composite action is adequate for the thin walls of the EOS-HSM-SC.
N9.1.4b(b)                Steel anchors shall be spaced not to exceed  This requirement does not consider the required the minimum spacing required to prevent      strength of the SC component but the available interfacial shear failure before out-of-plane out-of-plane strength, leading to inefficient shear failure of the SC section.              designs in those cases where the demand-to-capacity ratio for out-of-plane shear interaction is low. For the design of the EOS-HSM-SC, this criterion is modified such that the spacing of steel anchors required to prevent interfacial shear failure is deemed adequate if the demand-to-capacity ratio for out-of-plane shear interaction (presented in Section N9.3.6a of N690-18) is below 1.0 when required strength at least 1/3 greater than that determined by structural analysis is used. This approach is validated by laboratory test results.

The design of the front wall opening in the top segment of the EOS-HSM-SC follows the requirements on design and detailing around openings to the maximum practical extent possible to achieve a fully developed edge at the opening perimeter: a sufficiently fine finite element mesh is employed for the front wall and around its opening; a sleeve spanning across the opening from the front faceplate to the back faceplate is provided; and an equivalent flange is provided by thickening the front wall faceplate to provide additional strength in the stress concentration region. For the EOS-HSM-SC front wall, it is impractical to extend a distance of at least the section thickness beyond the opening perimeter because of the proximity of the front wall opening to the side walls.

Lifting Controls 5.2.1      TC/DSC Lifting Height and Temperature Limits The requirements of 10 CFR 72 apply to TC/DSC lifting/handling height limits outside the FUEL BUILDING. The requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 apply to TC/DSC lifting/handling height limits inside the FUEL BUILDING. Confirm the surface temperature of the TC before TRANSFER OPERATIONS of the loaded TC/DSC.
The lifting height of a loaded TC/ DSC is limited as a function of low temperature and the type of lifting/handling device, as follows:
No lifts or handling of the TC/DSC at any height are permissible at TC surface temperatures below 0 &deg;F The maximum lift height of the TC/DSC shall be 65 inches for the EOS-DSCs or 80 inches for the 61BTH Type 2 DSC if the surface temperature of the TC is above 0 &deg;F and a non-single-failure-proof lifting/handling device is used.
No lift height restriction is imposed on the TC/DSC if the TC surface temperature is higher than 0 &deg;F, and a single-failure-proof lifting/handling system is used.
The requirements of 10 CFR Part 72 apply when the TC/DSC is in a horizontal orientation on the transfer trailer. The requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 apply when the TC/DSC is being lifted/handled using the cask handling crane/hoist. (This distinction is valid only with respect to lifting/handling height limits.)

===Background===
TC/DSC handling and loading activities are controlled under the 10 CFR Part 50 license until a loaded TC/DSC is placed on the transporter, at which time fuel handling activities are controlled under the 10 CFR Part 72 license.
Safety Analysis The analysis of bounding drop scenarios shows that the TC will maintain the structural integrity of the DSC confinement boundary from an analyzed side drop height of 65 inches for the EOS-DSCs and 80 inches for the 61BTH Type 2 DSC. This 65-inch/80-inch drop height envelopes the maximum height from the bottom of the TC when secured to the transfer trailer while en route to the ISFSI.
Although analyses performed for cask drop accidents at various orientations indicate much greater resistance to damage, requiring the inspection of the DSC after a side drop of 15 inches or greater ensures that:
: 1. The DSC will continue to provide confinement.
: 2. The TC can continue to perform its design function regarding DSC transfer and shielding.
Concrete Testing HSM concrete shall be tested during the fabrication process for elevated temperatures to verify that there are no significant signs of spalling or cracking and that the concrete compressive strength is greater than that assumed in the structural analysis. Tests shall be performed at or above the calculated peak accident temperature and for a period no less than the permissible duration as specified in Technical Specification 5.1.3.
HSM concrete temperature testing shall be performed whenever:
* There is a change in the supplier of the cement, or
* There is a change in the source of the aggregate, or
* The water-cement ratio changes by more than 0.04.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                                          Rev. 4, 06/22 The determination of the DBT velocity pressure is in accordance with the requirements of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7-10 [2-12]. The resistance to sliding of the HSM under these design pressures is determined considering the bounding condition of a single EOS-HSM with end shield walls or a single HSM-MX monolith. The resistance to overturning of the HSM under these design pressures is determined considering a single EOS-HSM with one end shield wall or a single HSM-MX monolith.
Tornado Missiles The design basis tornado missiles specified in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.76, Revision 1 [2-8] are used to evaluated the HSM. As specified in NUREG-0800, Revision 3, Section 3.5.1.4 [2-10], the postulated missiles include at least:
* A massive high-kinetic-energy missile that deforms on impact.
* A rigid missile to test penetration resistance.
* A small rigid missile of a size sufficient to just pass through any openings in protective barriers.
The DBT missiles for the HSM are listed below:
Missile Type        Schedule 40 Pipe            Automobile          Solid Steel Sphere Dimensions            6.625 in. dia x 15 ft long 16.4 ft x 6.6 ft x 4.3 ft      1 in. dia Mass                            287 lb                  4000 lb                0.147 lb CDA/m                      0.0212 ft2/lb            0.0343 ft2/lb          0.0166 ft2/lb VMhmax                        135 ft/s                  135 ft/s                26 ft/s Evaluation for the effects of small diameter solid spherical missiles is not required because there are no openings in the HSM leading directly to the DSC through which such missiles could pass. Barrier design should be evaluated assuming a normal impact to the surface for the Schedule 40 pipe and automobile missiles. The automobile missile is considered to impact at all altitudes less than 30 feet above grade level. While the design basis missiles are described above, the structural evaluations may be performed using more bounding missiles and additional missiles.
In determining the overall effects of a DBT missile impact, overturning, and sliding of the HSM, the force due to the missile impact is applied to the structure at the most adverse location. For hand calculations, conservation of momentum is used to demonstrate that sliding and/or tipping of a single module does not result in an unstable condition for the module. The coefficient of restitution is conservatively assumed as zero so that 100% of the missile energy is transferred to the HSM. The missile energy transferred to the HSM dissipates by sliding friction and/or an increase in potential energy by raising the HSM center of gravity. The calculations assume the missile impact force as evenly distributed over the impact area, and use a 0.6 coefficient of friction for concrete on concrete surfaces.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                                    Rev. 4, 06/22 2.3.3      Water Level (Flood) Design EOS-HSM inlet vents are blocked when the depth of flooding is greater than 0.76 m (2 ft-6 in.) above the level of the ISFSI basemat. The DSC is wetted when flooding exceeds a depth of 1.7 m (5 ft-8 in.) above ISFSI basemat. Greater flood heights result in submersion of the DSC and blockage of the EOS-HSM outlet vents.
The DSC and EOS-HSM are conservatively designed for an enveloping design basis flood. The flood is postulated to result from natural phenomena such as tsunamis and seiches as specified by 10 CFR 72.122(b) [2-6]. A bounding assumption of a 15-meter (50-foot) flood height and water velocity of 4.6 m/sec (15 fps) is used for the flood evaluation. The EOS-HSM is evaluated for the effects of the 4.6 m/sec (15 fps) water current impinging upon the side of the submerged EOS-HSM. The DSC is subjected to an external pressure equivalent to a 15-meter (50-foot) head of water.
These evaluations are presented in Chapter 3 and Section 12.3.5. The effects of water reflection on DSC criticality safety are addressed in Chapter 7. Due to its short term infrequent use, the onsite EOS-TC is not explicitly evaluated for flood effects. ISFSI procedures should ensure that the EOS-TC is not used for DSC transfer during flood conditions.
The plant-specific design basis flood (if the possibility for flooding exists at a particular ISFSI site) should be evaluated by the licensee and shown to be enveloped by the flooding conditions used for this generic evaluation of the NUHOMS EOS System.
2.3.4      Seismic Design The seismic design criteria for the EOS-HSM are based on the NRC Regulatory Guide 1.60 [2-13] response spectra anchored at a zero period acceleration (ZPA) of 0.45g in the horizontal direction and 0.30g in the vertical direction and enhanced frequency content above 9 Hz. The horizontal and vertical components of the design response spectra correspond to a maximum horizontal ground acceleration of 1.0g are shown in Figure 2-1. The seismic structural evaluations consider both stability evaluation and stress qualification of the EOS-HSM. The structural stress qualifications of the HSM concrete, steel, and SC components are conservatively based on the spectra shown in Figure 2-1 anchored at 0.50g in the horizontal direction and 0.33g in the vertical direction. The stability criteria for seismic loading are based on the stability response of a single, freestanding EOS-HSM with an end shield wall.
The EOS-HSMs in the array have no anchorage to the concrete basemat and there are no positive structural connections between EOS-HSMs. The stability analyses consider the effects of sliding and rocking motions, and determine the sliding potential of a single module with no end shield walls, and rocking potential of a single module with one end shield wall. The EOS-HSM will neither slide nor overturn at design ZPA of 0.45g in the horizontal direction and 0.30g in the vertical direction.

Notes:
: 1. The thermal loading condition of the EOS-HSM-RC is based on the most conservative thermal loading configuration.
: 2. For stability evaluation, the design weight of the governing DSC among those corresponding to the length of HSM being evaluated is considered.
Detailed geometry descriptions, material properties, loadings, and structural evaluation for the EOS-HSM-RC is presented in Appendix 3.9.4.
For the structural evaluation of the EOS-HSM-SC, only the medium length model is evaluated using the bounding DSC weight of 135 kips and bounding thermal heat load of 50 kW. Detailed geometry descriptions, material properties, loadings, and structural evaluation for the EOS-HSM-SC are presented in Appendix 3.9.8.
3.6.3      EOS-TC Details of the structural analysis of the EOS-TC are provided in Appendices 3.9.3 and 3.9.5.
The details of the structural analyses of the EOS-TC body, including the cylindrical shell assembly and bottom assembly, the top cover, and the local stresses at the trunnion/cask body interface are presented in Appendix 3.9.5. The specific methods, models and assumptions used to analyze the cask body for the various individual loading conditions specified in 10 CFR Part 72 [3-13] are described in that appendix.
The EOS-TC body structural analyses use static or quasistatic linear elastic methods.
The stresses and deformations due to the applied loads are determined using the ANSYS [3-12] computer program.
Appendix 3.9.5 presents the evaluation of the trunnion stresses in the EOS-TC due to all applied loads during fuel loading and transfer operations.
Based on the loading and transfer scenario, the top trunnions are analyzed per ANSI N14.6 [3-7] for vertical lifting loads.
The evaluations summarized in Appendix 3.9.5 show that all calculated trunnion stresses are less than their corresponding allowable stresses. Therefore, the EOS-TC top and bottom trunnions are structurally adequate to withstand loads during lifting and transfer operations.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                                Rev. 4, 06/22 3.9.7.1.8.1.4 Sliding Analysis for Tornado Wind Concurrent with Massive Missile Impact loading The combined wind + missile impact case is considered for EOS-HSM sliding analysis based on the conservation of energy.
First, the conservation of momentum is used for the sliding analysis.
                                          =
1.07 +    /386.4 Where, V    = Initial linear velocity of module after impact vi    = Initial velocity of missile m    = Mass of the missile M1 = Mass of empty EOS-HSM Short M2 = Mass of two end shield walls M3 = Mass of governing loaded EOS-89BTH DSC M    = Total mass = M1 + M2 + M3 1.07 is the factor used to account for the uncertainty of the concrete density.
Then using the conservation of energy:
                                =      +
(/1.07 + )  2
(/1.07  ) =                        +
2 Where,
                        =  0.6 coefficient of friction for concrete-to-concrete surfaces Fvw  =  Uplift force generated by DBT wind pressure on the roof d    =  Sliding distance of EOS-HSM Fhw  =  Sliding force generated by DBT wind pressure The sliding distance of the EOS-HSM module is calculated to be 1.62 inches.
3.9.7.1.8.1.5 Time-Dependent Sliding Analysis for Tornado Wind Concurrent with Massive Impact Loading In addition to the dynamic sliding analysis, a time dependent analysis is used to provide a bounding sliding displacement.
The total force causing sliding is:
                                                    =  +

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                              Rev. 4, 06/22 The resisting force from friction is:
                                                  = (  )
Therefore the force causing acceleration is:
                                                  =
The velocity is:
                                        , + ,1
                                = [                    (  1 )] + 1 2
Where, i    = Index for current time step i-1 = Index for previous time step mtot = Total mass of loaded EOS-HSM and both end shield walls including adjustment for density uncertainty The sliding displacement is:
                                                + 1
                                        = [            (  1 )] + 1 2
The sliding displacements resulting from these analyses are shown in Figure 3.9.7-5 through Figure 3.9.7-7. The governing sliding displacement is 1.30 inches which is bounded by sliding distance of 1.62 inches resulting from dynamic sliding analysis as calculated in Section 3.9.7.1.8.1.4.
3.9.7.1.8.2  Flood Loads The EOS-HSM is designed for a flood height of 50 feet and water velocity of 15 fps. The module is evaluated for the effects of a water current of 15 fps impinging on the side of a submerged EOS-HSM. Under 50 feet of water, the inside of the module is rapidly filled with water. Therefore, the EOS-HSM components are not evaluated for the 50 feet static head of water.
Calculation of the drag pressure due to design flood is shown in Appendix 3.9.4.
3.9.7.1.8.2.1 Overturning Analysis The factor of safety against overturning of a single EOS-HSM with one shield wall, for the postulated flooding conditions, is calculated by summing moments about the bottom outside corner of a single, freestanding EOS-HSM. The factors of safety against overturning for a single, freestanding EOS-HSM due to the postulated design basis flood water velocity are 1.14, 1.12, 1.11, and 1.13 for the EOS-HSM Short, EOS-HSM Medium, EOS-HSM-FPS Medium, and EOS-HSM Long, respectively.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                                                      Rev. 4, 06/22 3.9.7.1.8.2.2 Sliding Analysis The factor of safety against sliding of a freestanding single EOS-HSM due to the maximum postulated flood water velocity of 15 fps is calculated using methods similar to those described above. The effective weight of the EOS-HSM including the DSC and one end shield wall acting vertically downward, less the effects of buoyancy acting vertically upward is calculated. The factors of safety against sliding for a single, freestanding EOS-HSM due to the postulated design basis flood water velocity are 1.12, 1.09, 1.08, and 1.11 for the EOS-HSM Short, EOS-HSM Medium, EOS-HSM-FPS Medium, and EOS-HSM Long, respectively.
3.9.7.1.8.3  Seismic Load The EOS-HSM is evaluated for maximum values for seismic accelerations of 0.45g in the horizontal direction and 0.30g in the vertical direction. Both the loaded EOS-HSM and the empty EOS-HSM are considered for these loads. The EOS-HSM and one end shield wall rotate about B, shown in Figure 3.9.7-1. The other end shield wall, corner blocks and rear shield walls are conservatively ignored.
The combination of 100% of horizontal acceleration and 40% of vertical acceleration is used.

The stability overturning analysis shown is for the governing EOS-HSM Long model. A factor of 1.07 (150 pcf/140 pcf) reduces the considered mass to the 140 pcf lower bound case. The 160 pcf upper bound is also considered, but not shown here.

The static sliding analysis is shown for the governing EOS-HSM Long model. Cases where the EOS-HSM is loaded, and has no shield walls are considered, but the results are not sensitive to the weight of the HSM or its contents.
Friction force resisting sliding = Fst = &#xb5;(WHSM+WDSC )(1-0.40 av) 330
                              = 0.6 x (          + 134) x (1  0.40 x 0.30) 1.07 Fst = 233 kip Applied horizontal seismic force = Fhs = ah (WHSM+WDSC) 330
                                          = 0.45 x (          + 134) 1.07 Fhs = 199kip Where,
                  &#xb5;      = friction coefficient = 0.6 av, ah = vertical and horizontal seismic accelerations = 0.30g, 0.45g respectively x, y = are the horizontal and vertical distance between the CG and point of rotation B The maximum acceptable acceleration values before sliding occurs are calculated below:

              = 0.6 x (            + 134) x (1  1.1 x 0.40 )  1.1 1.07 330
                              = 1.1 (          + 134) 1.07 2
And assuming a v = a h 3
a = 0.47g, a v = 0.32g The safety factor of Fst/1.1Fhs=1.07 and is greater than 1 and is the governing safety factor for all load cases. Therefore, it is concluded that the EOS-HSM is stable for seismic loads of up to 0.45g horizontal and 0.30g vertical.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                          Rev. TBD, TBD 3.9.8    EOS-HSM-SC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS The purpose of this appendix is to present the structural evaluation of the EOS-HSM-SC due to all applied loads during storage, and loading and unloading operations. The EOS-HSM-SC is an alternate horizontal storage module option that may be used in lieu of the EOS-HSM-RC as part of the NUHOMS EOS System.
General Description A general description and operational features for the NUHOMS EOS System are provided in Chapter 1. Similar to the EOS-HSM-RC, the EOS-HSM-SC is a freestanding structure, designed to provide environmental protection and radiological shielding for the EOS-37PTH DSC or EOS-89BTH dry shielded canister (DSC). In contrast to the EOS-HSM-RC, the EOS-HSM-SC is a steel-plate composite (SC) structure consisting of two steel plates (faceplates) with structural concrete between them, with the faceplates attached to the concrete using steel-headed stud anchors, and connected to each other using steel tie bars. Different components and overall dimensions of the EOS-HSM-SC are shown in Drawing EOS01-3300-SAR, which is provided in Chapter 1.
As with any EOS-HSM option in the NUHOMS EOS System, the EOS-HSM-SC consists of a base unit and a roof unit. The EOS-HSM-SC is a multi-segment design, which consists of two segments of the base unit like the EOS-HSMS-RC and the EOS-HSMS-FPS-RC. The EOS-37PTH DSC or the EOS-89BTH DSC are supported inside the EOS-HSM-SC by the flat plate support (FPS) DSC support structure, which is supported by pedestals spaced along the length of the DSC support structure. The configuration of the EOS-HSM-SC, in terms of component dimensions and thicknesses, is essentially the same as that of the EOS-HSMS-FPS-RC. The configuration of the DSC support structure of the EOS-HSM-SC is identical to that of the FPS DSC support structure for the EOS-HSMS-FPS-RC. As such, only the medium length option is evaluated for the EOS-HSM-SC.
Like the EOS-HSM-RC, the EOS-HSM-SC storage modules can be arranged in either a single-row array, or back-to-back double-row arrays. The front wall of the EOS-HSM-SC has a round access door opening provided for transferring the EOS-37PTH DSC or EOS-89BTH DSC into the module or for retrieving it from the module. The door opening is closed by a shield door after the DSC insertion.
The EOS-HSM-SC shield door is also an SC component and provides environmental protection, including missile and shielding protection.
End shield walls are installed at each end of a module array to provide the required missile and shielding protection. Similarly, a rear shield wall is installed at the rear of each module of the single-row module array for the same purpose. Both the end shield wall and rear shield wall are also SC components.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                          Rev. TBD, TBD For thermal protection of the EOS-HSM-SC components, thin stainless steel heat shields are installed inside the EOS-HSM-SC. The configurations of the roof and side heat shields for the EOS-HSM-SC are identical with those for the EOS-HSMS-FPS-RC.
The EOS-HSM-SC is also provided with cask restraint embedments in the front wall to secure the EOS-TC during DSC insertion and retrieval operations.
Material Properties The material properties used in the analysis and design of the EOS-HSM-SC and its components are discussed in detail in Chapter 8.
Design Criteria The SC components, FPS DSC support structure, heat shields, and axial retainer are important-to-safety components of the EOS-HSM-SC. Consequently, they are designed and analyzed to perform their intended functions under the extreme environmental and natural phenomena specified in 10 CFR 72.122 [3.9.8-1] and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 57.9 [3.9.8-2], which are the same criteria used for the EOS-HSM-RC in Appendix 3.9.4.
The SC components are designed to the requirements of American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) N690-18 [3.9.8-3], using the load combinations prescribed by ANSI 57.9 [3.9.8-2]. N690-18 is compatible with ANSI/AISC 360-16 [3.9.8-6], provisions of which are applicable as well unless stated otherwise. Guidelines of the U.S. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.243 [3.9.8-4] are also considered. The FPS DSC support structure, heat shields, and axial retainer are designed to the requirements of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings [3.9.8-5] using the Allowable Strength Design (ASD) methodology as in Appendix 3.9.4. The load combinations used for the steel components are those prescribed by ANSI 57.9 as detailed in Table 2-7.
The load and resistance factor design (LRFD) method of N690-18 [3.9.8-3] is used for the design of the EOS-HSM-SC components. The faceplate and ties are provided to meet the minimum flexural and shear requirement of N690-18 and to ensure that the provided design strength exceeds the required strength. The steel headed stud anchors, or studs, are provided to ensure composite action of the steel faceplates and concrete.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                              Rev. TBD, TBD The available strength of SC components, as well as the strength under combined forces, is calculated based on the provisions of Section N9.3 of N690-18 [3.9.8-3] except for the thin walls of the EOS-HSM-SC including the rear wall, middle/front pedestal, lower side wall bottom (14 inches), and upper side wall. The provisions of N690-18 [3.9.8-3] are primarily intended for the thick walls of nuclear power plant structures that provide radiation shielding and resistance to severe and extreme loads. Modified provisions of N690-18, based on nonlinear inelastic finite element analyses and physical test results, are used for the thin walls of the EOS-HSM-SC. The available strengths of SC components as detailed in Table 3.9.8-3 are calculated using the following equations:
Per Section N9.3.1 of N690-18, the uniaxial tensile strength per unit width of SC sections, Pn,ten, is determined in accordance with equations D2-1 and D2-2 in Chapter D of AISC 360-16 [3.9.8-6]:

Pn,com = 0.75Pn0[0.658(Pn0/Pe)]                        if Pn0/Pe  2.25 Pn,com = 0.75(0.877Pe)                                if Pn0/Pe > 2.25 where Pn0 = FyAsn + 0.85fcAc: Nominal compressive strength per unit width Asn = 2tpl: Net area of faceplates per unit width fc: Concrete compressive strength Ac = tcl: Area of the concrete infill per unit width tc: Concrete infill thickness Pe = 2(EIeff)/L2: Elastic critical buckling load per unit width L: Laterally unbraced length of the member June 2023 Revision 2                            72-1042 Amendment 4                              Page 3.9.8-3 Appendix 3.9.8 is newly added in Amendment 4 All Indicated Changes are in response to Revised RSI 3-9

Equation A-N9-21 of the code is used if the shear reinforcement (tie) spacing
(= max(stt, stl)) is no greater than tsc/2, where stt and stl are the tie spacing along the direction of one-way shear and transverse to the direction of one-way shear, respecitvely:

Vno = max(Vconc, Vs) where Vs is calculated taking both  and ps as 1.0.
Per Section N9.3.6a of N690-18, the interaction of out-of-plane shear forces is limited as follows:
If the required out-of-plane shear strength per unit with (both Vrx and Vry) is greater than the available out-of-plane shear strength contributed by the concrete per unit width (voVconc), and the out-of-plane shear reinforcement is spaced no greater than half the section thickness, equation A-N9-24 of the code needs to be satisfied:

Qcvavg: Weighted average of the available interfacial shear strength of ties and steel anchors accounting for their respective tributary areas and numbers If Vc is governed by the steel contribution alone and the out-of-plane shear reinforcement is spaced greater than half the section thickness, Vc conc = 0 is used.

Vci = 0.95Vni/2: Available in-plane shear strength per unit width for each notional half of SC panel section The following modifications of N690-18 provisions are considered:
* Section N9.1.1(a) of N690-18 specifies minimum thicknesses of 18 inch and 12 inch, respectively, for exterior and interior SC walls, which are not met by the 10.25-inch and 14.5-inch thick sections of the door and 11.38-inch section of the OVC. As presented in Commentary Section N9.1.1(a) of N690-18, the minimum thickness of 18 inch for exterior SC walls is based on the minimum thickness of 16.9 inch reinforced concrete walls to resist a tornado missile per Table 1 of NUREG-0800, Section 3.5.3 [3.9.8-14].
Since the 10.25 inch and 14.5 inch sections of the door are supported by the front wall of the EOS-HSM-SC during missile impact, the door is appropriate as an exterior wall. Since the specified minimum thickness of 12 inches for interior walls, based on the maximum reinforcement ratio and minimum faceplate thickness, is conservatively rounded up from the actual minimum of 10 inches as presented in Commentary Section N9.1.1(a) of N690-18, the OVC thickness is appropriate.
* Section N9.1.1(c) of N690-18 specifies the reinforcement ratio of SC sections to be no less than 0.015 and no greater than 0.050. According to AISC Steel Design Guide 32 [3.9.8-15], high reinforcement ratios can potentially result in higher concrete stresses and change the governing in-plane shear limit state from steel faceplate yielding to concrete compression strut failure, which can potentially reduce the strength and ductility of SC walls. The reinforcement ratio for the thin walls of the EOS-HSM-SC minimally (less than 5%) exceeds the ratio of 0.050 and this exceedance facilitates compliance with the faceplate slenderness requirement in Section N9.1.3 of N690-18, per Section 3.4.2.1 and Appendix A of [3.9.8-19]. The reinforcement ratio of 0.0149 for the top segment of the front wall is less than the minimum reinforcement ratio of 0.015 when the effective thickness of 0.3125 inch is considered. Per Commentary Section N9.1.1(c) of N690-18, use of a very low reinforcement ratio poses concerns regarding handling strength and stiffness in addition to residual stresses due to fabrication operations and concrete casting. These concerns are not applicable because the actual thickness is twice as large as the effective thickness and the reinforcement ratio of 0.0149 is less than the ratio of 0.015 minimally.

* Section N9.1.1(d) of N690-18 specifies the yield stress of faceplates to be no less than 50 ksi and no more than 65 ksi. The door and OVC steel plates are constructed from ASTM A36. As presented in Commentary Section N9.1.1(d) of N690-18, the minimum yield strength of faceplates is intended to prevent premature yielding due to residual stresses from concrete casting and thermally induced stresses. The door and OVC are free to grow when subjected to thermal loads and require a concrete volume of relatively low height resulting in insignificant pressure on the faceplates during casting as compared to a large EOS-HSM-SC wall. Therefore, stresses due to thermal growth and residual stress from concrete casting will not contribute to premature yielding of the faceplates in these components. Additionally, the margins for the door thickness to withstand local damage due to missile attack, ductile capacity for missile impact, and structural adequacy for punching shear are sufficiently large. The margins for the OVC are sufficiently large as well. Therefore, the door and OVC faceplates constructed from ASTM A36 have sufficient strength.
* Section N9.1.4b(a) of N690-18 provides a requirement on the spacing of steel anchors to develop the yield strength of the faceplates over the development length. This requirement ensures that sufficient composite action exists between the steel faceplate and concrete. However, the requirement does not consider the contribution of ties to available shear strength of the SC component, leading to inefficient designs for those components such as thin walls, for which the density of ties tends to be high.
Studies based on finite element analysis in [3.9.8-18] demonstrate the contribution of ties to the composite action and show that composite action is adequate for the thin walls of the EOS-HSM-SC.
* Section N9.1.4b(b) of N690-18 provides the requirement on the spacing of steel anchors to prevent interfacial shear failure before out-of-plane shear failure of the SC section. This requirement does not consider the required strength of the SC component but the available out-of-plane strength, leading to inefficient designs in those cases where the demand-to-capacity ratio for out-of-plane shear interaction is low. For the design of the EOS-HSM-SC, this criterion is modified such that the spacing of steel anchors required to prevent interfacial shear failure is deemed adequate if the demand-to-capacity ratio for out-of-plane shear interaction (presented in Section N9.3.6a of N690-18) is below 1.0 when required strength at least 1/3 greater than that determined by structural analysis is used. This approach is presented in Section 3.4.2.2.3 of [3.9.8-19] and validated by laboratory test results in [3.9.8-20].

* Section N9.1.7 of N690-18 provides requirements on design and detailing around openings. The design of the front wall opening in the top segment of the EOS-HSM-SC follows the requirements to the maximum practical extent possible to achieve a fully developed edge at the opening perimeter: a sufficiently fine finite element mesh is employed for the front wall and around its opening; a sleeve spanning across the opening from the front Revised              faceplate to the back faceplate is provided; and an equivalent flange is RAI 3-7              provided by thickening the front wall faceplate to provide additional strength in the stress concentration region. In addition, the requirements aim at reducing the effects of stress concentrations around an opening, which are of minor concern for the EOS-HSM-SC because stress concentration significantly affect the limit state of fatigue, and fatigue is not a concern for the EOS-HSM-SC. For the EOS-HSM-SC front wall, it is impractical to provide a flange plate extending a distance of at least the section thickness beyond the opening perimeter as specified in Section N9.1.7a(b) of N690-18 because of the proximity of the front wall opening to the side walls.
* Section N9.3.6a of N690-18 specifies an interaction equation that out-of-plane shear forces are required to meet. The interaction of out-of-plane shear forces for the thin walls of the EOS-HSM-SC is considered based on a modified approach described in the above discussion on Section N9.1.4b(b) of N690-18.
Load Cases The design load cases for EOS-HSM-SC component evaluation are the same as the load cases for EOS-HSM-RC concrete component evaluation provided in Table 3.9.4-4 except for the earthquake load, which depends on the frequencies and damping value for the EOS-HSM-SC as described in Section 3.9.8.9. The EOS-HSM-SC dead load also includes the self-weight of the faceplate based on Revised          the sheet weight density of 490 lb/ft3. The design load cases for the FPS DSC RSI 3-7          support structure, heat shields, and axial retainer of the EOS-HSM-SC are also and 3-11          the same as the load cases for the EOS-HSM-RC except for the earthquake load.
Load Combination The load combinations used in the structural analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC are the same as the combinations for the EOS-HSM-RC. The load combinations used for the FPS DSC support structure, heat shields, and axial retainer of the EOS-HSM-SC are also the same as the combinations used for the EOS-HSM-RC. These load combinations, as detailed in Table 3.9.4-5 for the SC components, in Table 3.9.4-16 for the DSC support structure and in Table 2-7 for the other steel components, are prescribed by ANSI 57.9 [3.9.8-2], and considered by NUREG-1536 [3.9.8-16] (and the more current NUREG-2215
[3.9.8-17]) as the most applicable for the design of dry storage structures.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                          Rev. TBD, TBD Normal Operation Structural Analysis The same normal operating loads described in Section 3.9.4.7 for the EOS-HSM-RC are used to evaluate the EOS-HSM-SC. The same DSC weight of 135 kips as specified in Table 3.9.4-4 is used conservatively. The same thermal load for the EOS-HSM-FPS is applicable to the EOS-HSM-SC because, as discussed in Section 4.4.12, the SC construction does not impact the thermal performance of the horizontal storage module.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                            Rev. TBD, TBD Accident Condition Structural Analysis The same accident condition loads described in Section 3.9.4.9 for the EOS-HSM-RC, except for the seismic load, are used to evaluate the EOS-HSM-SC.
The design basis seismic load used for analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC components is as discussed in Section 2.3.4. Based on N690-18 [3.9.8-3], a damping value of five percent is used for seismic analysis of SC components of the EOS-HSM-SC. An evaluation of the frequency content of the loaded EOS-HSM-SC is performed to determine the amplified accelerations associated with the design basis seismic response spectra for the EOS-HSM-SC. Modal frequencies and mass participation factors of the EOS-HSM-SC are shown in Table 3.9.8-1. The results of the frequency analysis yield a lowest frequency of 18.29 Hz in the transverse direction and 30.12 Hz in the longitudinal direction.
Because the lowest vertical frequency exceeds 45 Hz, the spectral acceleration is not amplified in the vertical direction. Therefore, based on the Regulatory Guide 1.60 response spectra amplifications, and conservatively using zero period acceleration (ZPA) accelerations of 0.50g and 0.33g in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, the corresponding seismic accelerations used for the design of the EOS-HSM-SC are 1.073g and 0.703g in the transverse and longitudinal directions, respectively, and 0.333g in the vertical direction. The resulting amplified accelerations are given in Table 3.9.8-2. An equivalent static analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC is performed by applying the amplified seismic acceleration loads as described in Section 3.9.4.9.2 for the EOS-HSM-RC.
Like the EOS-HSM-RC, for sites where the response spectra at the base of the HSM are larger than analyzed, more than one module may need to tie together to prevent significant sliding or to prevent the modules from banging into each other causing unacceptable damage. The requirements on the faceplate, stud, and tie may also need to be reviewed, and the faceplate thickness and tie size may be increased for such sites. The tie and stud spacing may be adjusted as well.
The stability evaluation of the EOS-HSM-SC due to a 0.45g Horizontal/0.30g Vertical seismic load is discussed in Section 3.9.8.11. The stability evaluation by dynamic analysis shall be performed using the analysis methodology described in CoC 1029 [3.9.8-10].

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                          Rev. TBD, TBD Seismic analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC heat shields consists of a modal time-history analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC for obtaining four percent damped in-structure response spectra (ISRS) at heat shields support locations as shown in Figure 3.9.8-5 through Figure 3.9.8-10. The earthquake time histories compatible with the RG 1.60 spectra, described in Section 3.9.4.9.2 for the EOS-HSM-RC, are used as seismic input motion. The ISRS for the heat shields is conservatively determined using ground motion based on the RG 1.60 spectra anchored at 0.50g and 0.33g in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. The modal frequencies and mass participation factors of the heat shields, described in Section 3.9.4.9.2 for the EOS-HSM-FPS-RC, are applicable to the EOS-HSM-SC. The results of an equivalent static analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC heat shields using the seismic acceleration load corresponding to the previously obtained ISRS are discussed in Section 3.9.8.10.4.
Structural Evaluation The load combination results of the EOS-HSM-SC components are presented in this section.
3.9.8.10.1  EOS-HSM-SC SC Components The governing load demands and capacities, and corresponding load combinations for each of the SC components of the EOS-HSM-SC are presented in Table 3.9.8-3. The demand-to-capacity ratios for all component categories are less than one for all strength categories.
June 2023 Revision 2                            72-1042 Amendment 4                          Page 3.9.8-14 Appendix 3.9.8 is newly added in Amendment 4
 
NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                            Rev. TBD, TBD 3.9.8.10.2  FPS DSC Support Structure The FPS DSC support structure of the EOS-HSM-SC is identical with the support structure for the EOS-HSM-FPS-RC, and the load combination results for the FPS DSC support structure provided in Table 3.9.4-17a, Table 3.9.4-21a, and Table 3.9.4-22a are applicable to the FPS DSC support structure of the EOS-HSM-SC except for the results for the stop plate, which are affected by the accident earthquake load combination. The demand-to-capacity ratio for the stop plate of the EOS-HSM-SC is 0.98. Therefore, the DSC support structure is adequate to resist the foreseeable loads applied to it.
3.9.8.10.3  EOS-HSM-SC Shield Door The shield door is free to grow in the radial direction when subjected to thermal loads. Therefore, there are no stresses in the door due to thermal growth. The dead weight, tornado wind, differential pressure, and flood loads cause insignificant stresses in the door compared to stresses due to missile impact load. The evaluation of the door for the missile impact load is presented in Section 3.9.8.10.6.2. For the door anchorage, the controlling load due to tornado-generated differential pressure drop load, calculated for the EOS-HSM-RC in Section 3.9.4.10.3, is applicable.
3.9.8.10.4  Heat Shield The heat shield design of the EOS-HSM-SC is identical with the heat shield design for the EOS-HSM-FPS-RC described in Section 3.9.4.10.4.
For the roof heat shield, the maximum interaction ratio for combined axial and bending stress in the connection bolts is 0.509, which is less than 1.0. The maximum bending moment in the roof heat shield panel is 26.2 in-lb/in, which is also less than the panel moment capacity of 59.59 in-lb/in.
For the side heat shield, the maximum interaction ratio for combined axial and bending stress in connection bolts is 0.272, which is less than 1.0. The maximum bending moment in side heat shield panel is 27.2 in-lb/in, which is also less than the panel moment capacity of 59.59 in-lb/in.
The thermal expansion evaluation of the heat shields for the EOS-HSM-RC is also applicable to the EOS-HSM-SC and, therefore, neither the roof heat shield panel and side wall heat shield panel is subjected to thermal stress.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                              Rev. TBD, TBD 3.9.8.10.5  DSC Axial Restraint The DSC axial retainer of the EOS-HSM-SC is identical with the axial retainer for the EOS-HSM-RC described in Section 3.9.4.10.5. The maximum seismically induced shear load in the retainer is 140.2 kips, and the allowable shear strength of the axial retainer is 196.0 kips. The maximum seismically induced moment in the retainer is 280.4 in-kips, taking a moment arm of 2 inches, conservatively. The allowable flexural strength of axial retainer is 344.9 in-kips. Hence, the DSC axial retainer design is adequate to perform its intended function.
3.9.8.10.6  Evaluation of SC Components for Missile Loading Missile impact effects are assessed in terms of local damage and overall structural response. As per [3.9.8-11], the local failure modes of SC components subjected to missile impact differ from those for reinforced concrete components in that SC components may experience penetration, bulging, splitting and perforation sequentially. Generally, scabbing is prevented by steel plates and perforation is considered to be the governing local failure mode for SC components. Evaluation of local effects is essential to ensure that protected items (the DSC and fuel) would not be damaged by a missile perforating a protective barrier. Evaluation of overall structural response is essential to ensure that protected items are not damaged or functionally impaired by deformation or collapse of the impacted structure.
The tornado-generated missiles are conservatively assumed to strike normal to the surface with the long axis of the missile parallel to the line of flight to maximize the local effects. Plastic deformation to absorb the energy input by the tornado-generated missile load is desirable and acceptable, provided that the overall integrity of the structure is not impaired. Due to complex physical processes associated with missile impact effects, the EOS-HSM-SC structure is primarily evaluated conservatively by application of empirical formulae.
The end shield wall, rear shield wall, base front wall, roof, and door of the EOS-HSM-SC are evaluated since these components may interface with missile loading. The end and rear shield walls, respectively, serve as missile barriers for the side and rear walls, which are therefore not evaluated for missile loading. No credit is taken for the contiguous walls behind the shield walls in the evaluations of the end and rear shield walls other than as simple supports.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                          Rev. TBD, TBD 3.9.8.10.6.1 Local Damage Evaluation The required thickness for concrete targets to prevent perforation is 18.5 inches, as calculated in Section 3.9.4.10.6.1. Since the minimum concrete thickness of the SC components is greater, perforation of the SC components of the EOS-HSM-SC do not occur due to missile impact. The relevant thicknesses and lengths of the EOS-HSM-SC components which may be subjected to local damage due to missile impact are summarized below.

For the 12-inch diameter schedule 40 steel pipe, an additional approach is also considered, where the impulse-momentum theorem is applied directly without the modifications presented in Section 2.3.2 of [3.9.8-12]. This approach results in a greater peak force, but shorter impact duration than that calculated in Section 3.9.4.10.6.2.C. Both approaches are considered and the bounding resultant ductility ratio is taken.
The rear wall and door are idealized as simply supported plates while the end wall, base front wall and roof are idealized as simply supported beams for structural response. The yield resistance and fundamental period of vibration of SC components are then determined based on the assumed idealized boundary condition. The calculated value of yield resistance, Ry, and fundamental period of vibration, Tn, are tabulated below.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                                    Rev. TBD, TBD The maximum value of ductility ratio of all five components is found to be less than 1.0, which meets the allowable ductility ratio of 1.0 for shear-controlled SC components with shear reinforcement spaced more than half the section thickness as per RG 1.243 [3.9.8-4]. Therefore, the global response of the EOS-HSM-SC is within the deformation limit meeting the ductility requirement. Per
[3.9.8-11], punching shear as a failure mode is inherently prevented by an SC wall designed to resist local failure. Therefore, no additional evaluation of the EOS-HSM-SC is required for punching shear.
3.9.8.10.7  Connections and Embedments The structural fasteners, connections, and concrete embedments used in the EOS-HSM-SC are in general identical to those for the EOS-HSM-RC. [
                                                                            ] The connections are designed to the requirements of ACI 349-06, Appendix D [3.9.8-13] and AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings [3.9.8-5] using the Allowable Strength Design (ASD) methodology, in accordance with the guidance of N690-18 [3.9.8-3]. The load combinations used for concrete embedments and steel fasteners and connections are those prescribed by ANSI 57.9 as detailed in Table 2-7 for concrete components and steel components, respectively. The demands, capacities, and demand-to-capacity ratios of the connections and embedments are presented in Table 3.9.8-5 and Table 3.9.8-6.
Stability Evaluation The sliding and overturning stability analyses of the EOS-HSM-SC due to design basis wind, flood, seismic, and massive missile impact loads are performed using hand calculations.
3.9.8.11.1  General Description The stability of the EOS-HSM-SC unit is evaluated for the same four load cases that are considered for the EOS-HSM-RC in Appendix 3.9.7, namely, tornado-generated wind loads, massive missile impact loads, flood loads, and seismic loads. The weight of an empty EOS-HSM-SC is between 306.8 kips minimum and 360.8 kips maximum. As in the stability evaluation of the EOS-HSM-RC, bounding upper and lower values of concrete density are considered; a concrete-to-concrete friction coefficient of 0.6 is used; the stability analysis considers rigid body motions; and the differential pressure load caused by the tornado pressure drop is ignored. Consideration is also given to partial steel-to-concrete friction at the base of the HSM resulting in an effective friction coefficient of 0.576. The stability is evaluated using the same methodologies described in Appendix 3.9.7.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                            Rev. TBD, TBD 3.9.8.11.2  Design Basis Tornado (Wind and Missile)
Revised          The tornado wind speed and resulting wind pressures on the module considered RAI 3-2          in the stability analysis are described in Section 3.9.7.1.8.1. Conservatively, a single loaded module (including door, roof, and OVC) with one end shield wall is considered for overturning analyses. A single loaded module with two end shield walls is considered for sliding analyses. The HSM is taken at the bounding minimum weight of 306.8 kips to minimize resistances to sliding and overturning. Results of stability evaluations for the design basis tornado are summarized below.
* Static Overturning Analysis due to Tornado Wind: The safety factor against overturning computed for the EOS-HSM-SC due to tornado wind is 1.61.
Revised
* Dynamic Overturning Analysis of Tornado Wind Concurrent with Massive RAI 3-6                Missile Impact Loading: A loaded EOS-HSM-SC rotates a maximum of 0.5 degrees, which is less than the 21.8 degrees required to overturn the module.
* Time-Dependent Overturning Analysis of Tornado Wind Concurrent with Massive Missile Impact Loading: A loaded EOS-HSM-SC rotates a maximum of 2.91 degrees, which is less than the 21.8 degrees required to overturn the module.
* Sliding Analysis for Tornado Wind Concurrent with Massive Missile Impact loading: The sliding distance of the EOS-HSM-SC is calculated to be 1.09 inches.
* Time-Dependent Sliding Analysis for Tornado Wind Concurrent with Massive Impact Loading: The governing sliding displacement is 1.10 inch.
3.9.8.11.3  Flood Loads Revised RAI 3-2          The flood load on the module considered in the stability analysis is described in Section 3.9.7.1.8.2. Conservatively, a single loaded module (including door, roof, and OVC) with one end shield wall is considered for the overturning analysis. A single loaded module with two end shield walls is considered for the sliding analysis. The HSM is taken at the bounding minimum weight of 306.8 kips to minimize resistances to sliding and overturning. Results of stability evaluations for the flood loads are summarized below.
* Overturning Analysis: The factor of safety against overturning for a single, freestanding EOS-HSM-SC due to the postulated design basis flood water velocity is 1.15.
* Sliding Analysis: The factor of safety against sliding for a single, freestanding EOS-HSM-SC due to the postulated design basis flood water velocity is 1.37.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                              Rev. TBD, TBD 3.9.8.11.4  Seismic Load The seismic load on the module considered in the stability analysis is described in Section 3.9.7.1.8.3. Conservatively, a single loaded module (including door, roof, and OVC) with one end shield wall is considered for the overturning analysis. Both the bounding upper and lower weights of the module are considered. A single loaded module with no end shield walls is considered for the sliding analysis, as it is not sensitive to the weight of the module or its contents. Results of stability evaluations for the seismic load are summarized below.
* Static Overturning Analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC due to Seismic Load: The safety factor against overturning is 1.02 and is greater than 1. The difference in safety factors between the maximum and minimum concrete density cases is negligibly small. The maximum acceptable acceleration values before tipping occurs are 0.45g horizontal and 0.30g vertical.
* Static Sliding Analysis of the EOS-HSM-SC due to Seismic Load: The safety factor against sliding is 1.02 and is greater than 1. There is no difference in safety factors between the maximum and minimum concrete density cases as this result is not sensitive to the weight of the EOS-HSM-SC or its contents. The maximum acceptable acceleration values before sliding occurs are 0.45g horizontal and 0.30g vertical.
* Seismic Stability of the DSC on DSC Support Structure inside the EOS-HSM-SC: The safety factor against DSC lift off from the DSC support is 1.01. The maximum acceptable acceleration values before any uplift occurs are 0.455g horizontal and 0.303g vertical.
3.9.8.11.5  Interaction of EOS-HSM-SC with Adjacent Modules When interaction of the EOS-HSM-SC with adjacent modulus is considered, the maximum displacement obtained in this section is conservative and bounding and this conservatism also applies to overturning, as described in Section 3.9.7.1.8.4 for the EOS-HSM-RC.
3.9.8.11.6  Results For the maximum seismic acceleration of 0.45g horizontal and 0.30g vertical, no sliding will occur. Also, there will be no overturning at this set of seismic accelerations.
For flood, wind, and missile impact, it is also determined that the uplift values are small and so the DSC remains stable on the support rails. For seismic loading, it is also determined that there is no uplift of the DSC.

Additionally, there is no DSC lift-off due to this seismic loading.

NUHOMS EOS System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report                                Rev. 4, 06/22 Corrective Actions After a seismic event, all components are inspected for damage. Any debris is removed. An evaluation is performed to verify that the system components are still within the licensed design basis.
12.3.3    Tornado Wind and Tornado Missiles Effect on EOS-HSM Cause of Accident In accordance with ANSI-57.9 [12-2] and 10 CFR 72.122 [12-1], the NUHOMS EOS System is designed for tornado effects, including tornado wind loads. In addition, the NUHOMS EOS System is designed to withstand tornado missile effects. The NUHOMS EOS System is designed to be located anywhere within the United States. Therefore, the most severe tornado wind and missile loadings specified by NUREG-0800 [12-7] and NRC Reg. Guide 1.76 [12-8] are selected as a design basis for this postulated accident. The determination of the tornado wind pressures and tornado missile loads acting on the NUHOMS EOS System are detailed in Chapter 2, Section 2.3.1.
Accident Analysis Stability and stress analyses are performed to determine the response of the EOS-HSM to tornado wind pressure loads. The stability analyses are performed using closed-form calculation methods to determine the sliding and overturning response of the EOS-HSM array. A single EOS-HSM with two end shield walls is conservatively selected for the sliding analyses, and a single EOS-HSM with one end shield wall is considered for the overturning analyses. The stress analyses are performed using the ANSYS [12-9] finite element model of a single EOS-HSM to determine design forces and moments. These conservative generic analyses envelop the effects of wind pressures on the EOS-HSM array. These analyses are described in Appendix 3.9.7, Section 3.9.7.1. Thus, the requirements of 10 CFR 72.122 are met.
In addition, the EOS-HSM is evaluated for tornado missiles. The adequacy of the EOS-HSM to resist tornado missile loads is also addressed in Appendix 3.9.7.
Accident Dose Calculation As shown in the above evaluations, the tornado wind and tornado missiles do not breach the EOS-HSM such that the DSC confinement boundary is compromised.
Localized scabbing of the end shield wall of an EOS-HSM array may be possible.
The EOS-HSM outlet vent covers and wind deflectors (if required) may be lost due to a tornado or tornado missile event. Only the dose rates on the roof are affected, since the front, rear, and side dose rates remain the same. Information in Chapters 6 and 11 is used to determine that the EOS-HSM accident increases the average dose rate on the roof of the module to ~18,800 mrem/hr.
