$ShNOWN raiI Associates, WO 1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation is to evaluate the integrity of the Monticello reactor shroud support legs, without considering support from the shroud support plate (H8 and H9 are conservatively assumed to be fully cracked).
The weld of interest for this analysis, as designated in BWRVIP-15
[1], is the weld attaching the support leg to the shroud support cylinder (weld H 10).The shroud support plate was not considered to support any load in this analysis because indications were previously found at the shroud support plate H8 (shroud support plate-to-shroud) weld and H9 (shroud support plate-to-vessel) weld during the Spring 2011 inspections.
Also, indications had been observed in 11 of the 14 shroud support legs during the Spring 2009 inspections.
Figure 1 shows a schematic of the Monticello shroud leg configuration
[2, Figure 5-59]. The geometry of the support legs is provided in Table 1 [3].One case was evaluated where 31.2% of each leg width (in circumferential direction) was assumed to be flawed through-wall.
This is a very conservative assumption given that the observed indications only appear to be limited to a fillet weld applied to the full penetration weld to reduce the stress concentration between the H 10 weld and the bottom of the shroud support cylinder.Because no credit is taken for either the H8 or H9 welds, the observed indications at these locations do not impact these results. Taking no credit for these welds is essentially equal to assuming through-wall flaws in the H8 and H9 welds.2.0 DESIGN INPUTS Since this evaluation does not consider the shroud support plate, the design input is focused on the shroud support legs only. The shroud support design implemented at Monticello is the Chicago Bridge & Iron Nuclear (CBIN) flat plate design with support legs that connect to the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) bottom head. A stub is welded to an attachment pad on the inside of the RPV lower head, and then the leg is welded to the top of the stub and the bottom face of the shroud support cylinder (refer to Figure 2.9.2.4 of Reference 1). There are fourteen support legs, each with a thickness of 1.75 inches [3], located 200 or 30' apart (see Table 1). The legs are fabricated from Alloy 600 material (Sin = 23.3 ksi) with multiple Alloy 182 welds joining the various leg sections to each other, to the low alloy steel RPV, and to the Alloy 600 shroud support cylinder.All of the relevant load [4] and shroud geometry data [3] for the Monticello support legs are summarized in Table 2 for upset and faulted conditions.
The resultant shear and moment loads on weld H7 come from the SRSS of SSE and AC loads. Per Reference 10, the AC loads must be doubled. This modification is reflected in the loads shown in Table 2. Primary stresses calculated for use in the structural evaluation of the support legs are included in Table 3. The methodology used to compute these stresses is described in detail below.File No.: 1300180.302 Page 3 of 9 Revision:

===3.1 Shroud===
Support Leg Safety Factor Evaluation Access to the shroud support legs is severely limited because of their location in the RPV bottom head region beneath the shroud support structure.
Xcel Energy has performed a visual inspection of the legs via access through the jet pump assemblies.
Provision for inspecting the support legs in lieu of a detailed inspection of welds H8 and H9 was also addressed in BWRVIP-38
[5]. Flaw tolerance evaluations are provided in Section A.2.7 of BWRVIP-38 that can be used to structurally evaluate the support legs. The methodology conservatively assumes that all of the applied loading is structurally taken by the legs. Therefore, welds H8 and H9 are not structurally required, other than to maintain the support structure configuration (i.e., jet pump support, shroud repair, etc.). As a result, analyses similar to those shown in Section A.2.7 of BWRVIP-38 were performed for Monticello to confirm the structural adequacy of the support legs, for upset and faulted conditions, conservatively including assumptions regarding the support leg flaws. As per the recommended approach documented in Section A.2.7 of BWRVIP-38
[5], structural acceptability was demonstrated by maintaining minimum ASME Code, Section XI safety factors [7].The shroud support legs are located sufficiently below the core such that they do not receive significant amounts of radiation.
Therefore, linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM)techniques are not necessary, and limit load techniques are valid due to material ductility.
Since the shroud support legs are essentially "a cylindrical shell with holes," a limit load solution applicable to cylinders may be used. Therefore, the ANSC computer program [6] was selected for use. The ANSC program was used because of its ability to analyze cracks in cylindrical structures without taking benefit of the cracks taking compression.
This was important for this evaluation since the spaces between legs, which are effectively treated as flaws in this analysis, have no capability to take compression.
Consistent with limit load techniques, two stresses were computed for use in the analysis:
(1)the primary membrane stress, Pmo, and (2) the primary bending stress, Pb. Consistent with BWRVIP-38 methodology, calculation of these stresses was based on the stresses for the shroud H7 weld, as provided in Reference
: 4. The determination of each of these stresses is detailed below: Pro: Pm-legs = Pm-shroud (t/tlegs)where: Pm-legs = primary membrane stress in the legs (psi).Pno-shroud
= primary membrane stress in the shroud at weld H7 (psi), 4Fa/n(Do-Di) 2 Fa is the axial resultant force.t = shroud thickness at weld H7 (inches).tiegs -support legs minimum thickness (inches).Pb: Pb-legs = (Pb-shroud
+ Ms/Z) (t/tlegs)where: Pbiegs = primary bending stress in the legs (psi).Pb-shroud
= primary bending stress in the shroud at weld H7 (psi) M/Z where File No.: 1300180.302 Page 4 of 9 Revision:

NI= additional moment for legs due to the shear load applied at weld H7 (inch-lbs).

+ 2S, H / R) (t/tlegs)The calculated values for each of the above stresses are included in Table 3.Table I summarized the computed azimuths for each support leg. This information, combined with the appropriate stress information in Table 2, was input to ANSC to determine whether the assumed leg configuration maintains minimum required ASME Code, Section XI safety factors[7] (2.4 for upset conditions, 1.4 for faulted conditions).
Evaluations were performed for both the upset and faulted conditions, and the resulting ANSC output is included in Appendix A. It is noted from the output that through-wall flaws were placed in the spaces between the legs to represent both the assumed through wall flaws (31.2% of each leg width) and the fact that there is actually no material present in between legs.From the ANSC results, the safety factor was calculated using the following relationship:
Safety Factor, SF -Pb + Pm Pb +P, where: Pb' = minimum failure bending stress from ANSC output (ksi).The resulting safety factors are shown in Table 4.
 
==4.0 CONCLUSION==
S Up to 31.2% of each support leg H 10 weld may be flawed through-wall and still meet the required safety factors of BWRVIP-38.
The resulting safety factors are compared to the required safety factors in Table 4. These results are considered to be extremely conservative because no structural support from welds H8 and H9 was considered.
Therefore, if some structural support from welds H8 and H9 is considered, it is expected that significantly larger margins would be obtained.File No.: 1300180.302 Page 5 of 9 Revision:
