the event a high-worth control rod became detached from its rod drive and dropped out of the reactor core. To accomplish this purpose the velocity limiter was designed using the following basis:a.The control rod free fall velocity is less than 5 ft per second.b.A minimum impedance of the control rod scram time or positioning ability is maintained.c.The velocity limiter is integrally attached to the control rod structure.6.4.2DescriptionThe velocity limiter assembly consists of a single Type 304 stainless steel casting in the shape of two nearly-mated conical elements. These elements are
separated from one another by four radial spacers. The separated surfaces ofthe upper and lower conical elements differ by 15
°, with the peripheral separation less than the central separation.The velocity limiter assembly, shown in Figure 6.4-1 with its associated components, acts within a cylindrical guide tube. The annulus between the
guide and the velocity limiter assembly permits the free passage of water over
the smooth surface of the cone when the control rod is scrammed in the upward direction. In the opposite direction, however, water is trapped by the lower cone and discharged through the interface between the two conical sections. Because this water is jetted in a partially reversed direction into water flowing upward in
the annulus, a severe turbulence is created, thereby slowing the descent of the control rod and limiter assembly.The guide tubes are 10-inch, schedule 10, Type 304 stainless steel pipe. Each guide tube has a back-seat on the lower end which rests on the control rod drive
thimble. This seat restricts water flow out of the tube during a velocity limiter free-fall; the seat also restricts water flow into the interior of the guide tube during normal reactor operation to prevent coolant bypass of the fuel elements.FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLYResp Supv:CNSTP Assoc Ref:

eccentricity; and Surface finish. These tests and the optimization of the velocity limiter design are described in detail in APED- 5446, Control Rod Velocity Limiter(Reference 32). The results of these tests are summarized as follows:Dropout Velocities Cold reactor - 2.46 ft/sec Hot reactor - 2.86 ft/secScram Times10% of full insertion- 0.55 sec90% of full insertion - 5.0 sec6.4.4Inspection and TestingTesting and inspecting of the control rod velocity limiter is not required followinginstallation of the control rod assembly. In addition to close surveillance during the fabrication of the rod velocity limiter and control rod assembly manufacture, random control rod assemblies were shop tested which included rod drop tests.
Each velocity limiter was visually inspected and gauged prior to assembly. The
operation of the individual control rod assemblies for normal operation and
scram conditions was confirmed during preoperational testing.
Revision 22 USAR 6.5MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT Page 1 of 3SECTION 6PLANT ENGINEERED SAFEGUARDS I/mab6.5Control Rod Drive Housing Supports6.5.1Design Basis The control rod drive housing supports protect against additional damage to the nuclear system process barrier or damage to the fuel barrier by preventing any
significant nuclear transient in the event a drive housing breaks or separatesfrom the bottom of the reactor vessel. To accomplish this the control rod drive housing supports were designed in accordance with the following:
Design Basisa.Control rod downward motion shall be limited, following a postulated control rod drive (CRD) housing failure, so that any resulting nucleartransient could not be sufficient to cause fuel damage.b.Clearance shall be provided between the housings and the supports to prevent vertical contact stresses due to their respective thermal
expansion during plant operation.6.5.2DescriptionThe control rod housing supports are illustrated in Figure 6.5-1. Horizontal
beams are installed immediately below the bottom head of the reactor vessel, between the rows of control rod housings and are bolted to brackets which are
welded to the steel liner of the drive room in the reactor support pedestal.Hanger rods, about 10 feet long by 1-3/4 inches in diameter, are supported from the beams on stacks of disc springs which compress about 2 inches under
design load.
The support bars are bolted between the bottom ends of the hanger rods. The spring pivots at the top and the beveled loose-fitting ends on the support bars prevent substantial bending moment in the hanger rods if the support bars are
overloaded.
Individual grids rest on support bars between adjacent beams. Because a singlepiece grid would be difficult to handle in the limited work space and because it is necessary that control rod drives, position indicators, and incore instrumentation
components are accessible for inspection and maintenance, each grid is
designed to be assembled or disassembled in place. Each grid assembly is
made from two grid plates, a clamp and a bolt. The top part of the clamp acts as a guide to assure that each grid is correctly positioned directly below the respective CRD housing which it would support in the postulated accident.FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLYResp Supv:CNSTP Assoc Ref:

9703 Revision 22 USAR 6.5MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT Page 2 of 3 I/mabWhen the support bars and grids are installed, a gap of less than 1 inch at room temperature (approximately 70
°F) is provided between the grid and the bottom contact surface of the control rod drive flange. During system heatup, this gap is
reduced by a net downward expansion of the housings with respect to the
supports. In the hot operating condition, the gap is approximately 1/4 inch.
In the postulated CRD housing failure, the CRD housing supports are loaded when the lower contact surface of the CRD flange contacts the grid. The
resulting load is then carried by two grid plates, two support bars, four hanger rods, their disk springs, and two adjacent beams.
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification for the Design, Fabrication, and Erection of Structural Steel for Building was used in the design of the CRD housing support system. However, to provide a structure that
absorbs as much energy as practical without yielding, the allowable tension and
bending stresses were taken as 90% of yield, and the shear stress as 60% of yield. These are 1.5 times the corresponding AISC allowable stresses of 60%
and 40% of yield. This stress criterion is considered desirable for this application
and adequate for the once in a lifetime loading condition.
For mechanical design purposes, the postulated failure resulting in the highest forces is an instantaneous circumferential separation of the CRD housing from the reactor vessel, with an internal pressure of 1250 psig (reactor vessel design pressure) acting on the area of the separated housing. The weight of the
separated housing, control rod drive, and blade, plus the force of 1250 psig
pressure acting on the area of the separated housing gives a force of
approximately 35,000 lbs. This force is multiplied by a factor of 3 for impact, conservatively assuming the housing travels through a 1-inch gap before contacting the supports. The total force (10 5 lbs) is then treated as a static load in design formulas.6.5.3Performance Analysis Downward travel of CRD housing and its control rod following the postulated housing failure is the sum of the compression of the disk springs under dynamic loading and the initial gap between the grid and the bottom contact surface of
the CRD flange. If the reactor were cold and pressurized, the downward motion
of the control rod would be limited to the approximate 2 inch spring compression plus a gap of less than one inch. If the reactor were hot and pressurized, the gap would be approximately 1/4 inch and the spring compression slightly less
than in the cold condition. In either case, the control rod movement following a
housing failure is limited substantially below one drive notch movement (6
inches). The nuclear transient from sudden withdrawal of any control rod through a distance of one drive notch at any position in the core does not resultin a transient sufficient to cause damage to any radioactive material barrier. This meets the fuel damage prevention criteria of design basis 6.5.1-a.
Revision 22 USAR 6.5MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT Page 3 of 3 I/mabThe control rod drive housing supports are in place any time the reactor is to be operated. The housing supports may be removed when the reactor is in the shutdown condition even when the reactor is pressurized, because all control rods are then inserted. Even if a control rod is ejected under the shutdown
condition, the reactor remains subcritical, because it is designed to remain
subcritical with any one control rod fully withdrawn at any time.
At plant operating temperature a gap of approximately 1/4 inch is maintained between the CRD housing and the supports, at lower temperatures the gap isgreater. Because the supports do not come in contact with any of the CRD
housings, except during the postulated accident condition, vertical contact
stresses are prevented as required by safety design basis 6.5.1-b.6.5.4Inspection and Testing When the reactor is in the shutdown mode, the control rod drive housing
supports may be removed to permit inspection and maintenance of the control
rod drives. When the support structure is reinstalled, it is inspected for proper assembly, particular attention being given to assure that the correct gap between
the CRD flange lower contact surface and the grid is maintained. Since thestructure is not stressed until an accident occurs, testing is unnecessary. If anaccident should occur any deformed parts would be replaced during repair.
