INFORMATION ON SYSTEM 80 BYPASS FLOWS

1. Introduction

~

The System 80 design contains five different types of guide tubes, each type

, , having different flow resistance networks and, therefore, different bypass flow rates. The flow networks and flow resistances are presented in detail in this report.

Also presented in this report is a comparison of bypass flow rates between the System 80, 2570 MWth and 3410 MWth class designs.

2.- Types of Guide Tubes The System 80 reactor design contains five different kinds of guide tubes.

They are:

1 .. center guide tubes containing in-core instrumentation

2. empty center guide tubes
3. corner guide tubes containing control rods (CEA's)
4. corner guide tubes in non-CEA locations
5. corner guide tubes in CEA locations but containing no control rods At the present time the inventory of these five types of guide tubes in the reactor is as follows:
1. instrumented center guide tubes: 61
2. empty center guide tubes: 180
3. rodded corner guide tubes: 740
4. corner guide tubes in non-CEA locations: 160
5. unrodded corner guide tubes in CEA locations: 64 Total 1205
3. Driving Heads The driving heads for the five categories of guide tubes are listed in the following Table. The subscripts coincide with the numbered guide tube stations shown in Figure 1.

5. unrodded corner GT P4-P8 in CEA location -
4. Flow Networks The overall geometry of the five categories of' guide tubes is exhibited in Figure 2. The inlet and exit positions of the flow are indicated by wiggly arrows. Next to each flow network a sketch of the applicable guide tube geometry is added to help interpret the network components. For each bra every flow network the pressure loss coefficient is shown in the form K/Agch of ,

which can be interpreted as the pressure loss coefficient per unit square area. The K values are based on empirical information from published literature. For convenience, the pressure at the flow inlet is always designated as O psi.

  • 2570 MWth and 3410 MWth design bypass flows are based on as-built nozzle gaps. System 80 outlet nozzle bypass flows are larger because of larger outlet nozzle diameter inherent. in the design and calculations are based on maximum drawing allowed nozzle gap dimensions. .
    • Welded construction in System 80 has eliminated bypass flow through seams in core shroud.
      • The bypass flow through alignment keys reported in 2570 MWth class reactor FSAR wasThis keyways. calculated for a flow area ig larger- (9.6area in ) agsociated than for 3410 with an early MWth (2.4 in desigg)for the and System 80 (6.8 in ) designs.

. + Guide tube bypass flows show a decreasing trend due to use of smaller guide tube flow holes for- the later reactor designs.

> # The final best estimate guide tube flow rate has increased from 0.6% shown in CESSAR to the 0.7% shown here as a result of incorporating latest design changes. The design value for total bypass flow remains at 3.0% for System y
