Updated Information Regarding the Results of the Structural Analysis of the Oyster Creek Drywell Shell, Performed in Support of License Renewal

Reference:

Letter RA-09-010 from Exelon Generation Company LLC to USNRC, 'Results of Three-Dimensional (3D) Structural Analysis of the Oyster Creek Drywell Shell, Associated with License Renewal for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (TAC No. MC7624)," dated January 22, 2009 In the referenced letter, Exelon Generation Company, LLC provided the NRC with the results of its modern three-dimensional (3-D) structural analysis of the Oyster Creek drywell shell performed by Structural Integrity Associates (SIA), fulfilling an associated license renewal commitment.

As part of preparation for an upcoming briefing of an Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) subcommittee on this drywell shell analysis, Exelon contracted Dr.Clarence Miller, a highly experienced expert in the field of structural analysis and the principal author of an ASME Code Case (N-284-1) used in the 3-D analysis, to assist with ACRS meeting preparation activities.

Dr. Miller subsequently reviewed the 3-D analysis and identified two simplifying approximations used by SIA that he recommended be changed. While these changes confirm Exelon's conclusion that a significant amount of margin beyond that required by the ASME Code remains for all areas of the drywell shell, Exelon is providing this information to ensure the NRC staff and ACRS have the latest relevant information.

In the area of interest (i.e., the drywell sand bed region), the use of the more precise information identified by Dr. Miller increases the margin between the ASME Code limits and the current drywell shell condition, above that reported in the referenced letter. However, for the upper spherical region of the drywell shell, these changes cause a decrease in the calculated safety factors. Regardless, a significant amount of margin beyond that required by the ASME Code remains for both the sand bed and upper spherical regions of the drywell shell. These conclusions are documented in Addenda to the 3-D Structural Analysis, which are transmitted with this letter.

M. P. Gallagher to USNRC September 9, 2009 Page 2 of 2 Since these simplifying approximations resulted in more margin to the ASME code limits in the sand bed region, we have concluded that the original analysis represents a satisfactory analysis of the margin above the Code required minimum for buckling.

Accordingly, Exelon is not revising the 3-D Structural Analysis report it submitted on January 22, 2009.If you have any questions regarding this update, please contact Mr. John O'Rourke of my staff, at 610-765-5089.

Dear Mr. O'Rourke:

Dr. Miller's review of the Structural Integrity Associates Report on the structural evaluation of the Oyster Creek Drywell (Reference

1) recommended that two simplifying approximations used in the analysis be modified: 1. L, the length between supports, used in the calculation of the capacity reduction factor for the spherical shell be based on the arc lengths versus elevation differences.
2. The inclusion of the lower beam support as a contributing stiffener for the calculation of the safety factors for the lower spherical shell and the sandbed region.As these recommendations affect both the SI Reports 0006004.403, Rev. 0 (Reference
2) and 0006004.404, Rev. 0 (Reference 3), the proposed modifications have been applied to both analyses.

Addenda to these reports are included in the attachments to this letter.In summary, the implementation of Dr. Miller's recommendations has resulted in an increase in safety factors in the sandbed region, which is the area of interest.

The minimum sandbed region safety factors and the magnitude of the increase are summarized as follows: Annapolis, MD Austin, TX Centennial, CO Cerritos, CA 410-571-0861 512-533-9191 303-792-0077 562-402-3076 Chattanooga, TN Huntersville, NC Ontario, Canada South Jordon, UT Stonington, CT Uniontown, OH 423-553-1180 704-597-5554 905-829-9817 801-676-0216 860-536-3982 330-899-9753 Mr. John O'Rourke 0006004.407, Rev. 0 September 1, 2009 Page 2 of 2 Base Case* Refueling:

1.0 INTRODUCTION

As part of the preparation associated with upcoming briefing for the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) on the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant drywell shell analysis, Exelon contracted Dr. Clarence Miller, a highly experienced expert in the field of structural buckling analysis and the author of the ASME Code Case N-284-1, to assist with ACRS meeting preparation activities.

In Dr. Miller's review of the analysis, he recommended that two simplifying approximations used in the analysis be modified: 1. L, the length between supports, used in the calculation of the capacity reduction factor for the spherical shell be based on the arc lengths versus elevation differences.

2. The inclusion of the lower beam support as a contributing stiffener for the calculation of the safety factors for the lower spherical shell and the sandbed regions.The above recommendations represent a more precise approach of calculating the length L, which is used for the calculation of the capacity reduction factors, and subsequently the safety factors. All these calculations pertain to the buckling evaluations of the drywell shell.Dr. Miller's recommendations are fully implemented in this addenda to Structural Integrity (SI)Report 0006004.403.RO.

This addenda addresses the Base Case drywell shell buckling analysis.The contents of this addenda consist of the following sections:* Section 2.0 consists of the executive summary that provides the results summary and conclusions.

  • Section 3.0 provides the detailed calculations of length L, capacity reduction factors, and safety factors.Structural Integrity Associates, Inc.Page A2 / Al11 2.0 EXECUTIVE

2.2 CONCLUSION

S With reference to the safety factor comparison in Table 1, it can be concluded that:* In the area of interest (i.e., the drywell sandbed region), the use of Dr. Miller's recommendations increases the reported margin between the ASME Code limits and the current drywell shell conditions.

The margins are increased by 8.2% and 5.0% for the refueling and the flooding load cases, respectively.

  • The recalculation has no effect on the cylindrical shell region. The reported safety factor for the cylindrical shell region remains unchanged.
  • The spherical upper shell region is the only region that shows a decrease in the safety factor margin. However, the safety factor for this region is not the lowest, and therefore, is not limiting.* For all regions, a significant margin beyond that required by the ASME Code remains.V Structural Integrity Associates, Inc.Addenda to Report 0006004.403.RO Page A4 /A11 3.0 CALCULATIONS AND RESULTS 3.1 Length L Calculation Cylindrical Shell Center line of star truss insert plate: Elevation 82' 9" [Ref. 3a of SI Report 0006004.403.R0]

1.0 INTRODUCTION

As part of the preparation associated with upcoming briefing for the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) on the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant drywell shell analysis, Exelon contracted Dr. Clarence Miller, a highly experienced expert in the field of structural buckling analysis and the author of the ASME Code Case N-284-1, to assist with ACRS meeting preparation activities.

In Dr. Miller's review of the analysis, he recommended that two simplifying approximations used in the analysis be modified: 1. L, the length between supports, used in the calculation of the capacity reduction factor for the spherical shell be based on the arc lengths versus elevation differences.

2. The inclusion of the lower beam support as a contributing stiffener for the calculation of the safety factors for the lower spherical shell and the sandbed regions.The above recommendations represent a more precise approach of calculating the length L, which is used for the calculation of the capacity reduction factors, and subsequently the safety factors. All these calculations pertain to the buckling evaluations of the drywell shell.Dr. Miller's recommendations are fully implemented in this addenda to Structural Integrity (SI)Report 0006004.404.RO.

This addenda addresses the Sensitivity Case 1 and Sensitivity Case 2 drywell shell buckling analyses.

The contents of this addenda consist of the following sections:* Section 2.0 consists of the executive summary that provides the results summary and conclusions.

  • Section 3.0 provides the detailed calculations of length L, capacity reduction factors, and safety factors.Addenda to Report 0006004 .404.RO Structural Integrity Associates, Inc.Page B2 / B 17 2.0 EXECUTIVE

2.2 CONCLUSION

S With reference to the safety factor comparisons in Table 1 and Table 2, it can be concluded that:* In the area of interest (i.e., the drywell sandbed region), the use of Dr. Miller's recommendations increases the reported margin between the ASME Code limits and the analyzed drywell shell conditions.

The margins are increased by no less than 10.1% and 4.5% for the refueling and the flooding load cases, respectively.

  • The recalculation has no effect on the cylindrical shell region. The reported safety factor for the cylindrical shell region remains unchanged.
  • The spherical upper shell region is the only region that shows a decrease in the safety factor margin. However, the safety factor for this region is not the lowest, and therefore, is not limiting." For all regions, a significant margin beyond that required by the ASME Code remains.V Structural Integrity Associates, Inc.Addenda to Report 0006004.404.RO Page B5 / B17 3.0 CALCULATIONS AND RESULTS 3.1 Length L Calculation Cylindrical Shell Center line of star truss insert plate: Elevation 82' 9" [Ref. 3a of SI Report 0006004.403.R0]
