FORKED RIVER NUCLEAR STATIOM (FRNS)

DOCKET NUMBER 50-363 IE BULLETIN No. 79-07 RESPONSE A version of the ADLPIPE Computer Program, which includes an algebraic summation technique has been used for the final design of support for FRNS Containment Spray system. The version of ADLPIPE utilized uses intra modal algebraic summation for codirectional components resulting # rom multiple earthquake directional motions. The Square Root of the Sum of Squares summation is used to deteunine the combined response for all modes. Closely spaced modes (within 10%) are summed absolutely.

Burns & Roe, the FRNS Architect Engineer, has directed that computer listings call for in Item 2 for versions of ADLPIPE from 1972 to the present be forwarded to the NRC. It should be noted, however, that ADLPIPE is a proprietary program owned and technically supported by: Arthur D. Little, Inc.; Acorn Park; Cambridge, MA 02140.

For operational piping analyses, Burns & Roe has exclusively used Arthur D. Little piping analysis program, ADLPIPE. This computer program was the only program in the public domain which considered the nuclear piping requirements for the Code, ANSI-B31.7.

In the year 1972, an updated version enabled the user to produce a partial stress report required to meet the requirements of the B&PV ASME Section III, Div. 1 Code, as well as ANSI-B31.1 Code for piping and components. It also contained, for the first ,~

time, a spectra modal response analysis for redundant pipe systems. /

Mr. Boyce H. Grier IE Bulletin 79-07 Page 2 Arthur D. Little performed the validation of the Code in their support of the ADLPIPE Program. This validation is discussed in Attachment 1.

Burns & Roe also has an ongoing validation program. Typical spectra response and time history analyses from the ADLPIPE Program have been compared with the results from ANSYS and STARDYNE Computer Programs. Minor differences, due to different numerical techniques used within the programs, have been identified but verification has been demonstrated by these comparisons.

In addition, the following comparisons have been made of the different summation options of ADLPIPE against other recognized industry methods and benchmarks.

Comparison of ADLPIPE vs. NUPIPE Computer Program.

This study included eight (8) typical pipe systems having various diameter pipe sizes.

ATTACIIMENT 1 VERIFICATION OF ADLPIPE The following is excerpted from:

Verification of ADLPIPE Verificatien of ADL?I?E uas undertakan in a series of fundacental checks.

In i=portant =cdifications a supporting docu=ent was prepared as an ADL?I?E reference. The verification procedure was as follows. -

The thernal and deadweight loadings were checked by a Hovgaard Bend and hnnd calculated syste=s given in " Design of Piping Syste=s", M. W. Kellogg, Second Edition,1956, and "For=ulas of ' Stress and Strain", R.J. Roark, licGraw-Hill.

The dynamic analyses were checked by " Response of Structural Syste=s to Ground Shock", Shock and Structural Response, ASME, 1960, in "ADL?I?E Results of Modcl Given by Young (ADLPI?E Ref erence 4), and " Dyna =ic Behavior *of a Foundation-Like Structure", Mcchanical Independence Methods, ASME, 1953, in " Experimental verification of ADL?I?E Mod 1" (ADLPIPE Reference 3).

The ti=e history analysis was checked by a separate analytical solution.
