Table 5.2-16 gives the pipe break locations postulated for the three main steam and three main feedwater pipe runs inside the containment building. | |||
The loop A main steam line contains three break points and/or areas. | |||
Figures 5.2-33 through 5.2-38 coordinate the point numbers, given in Table 5.2-16 to a location along the pipe run. | |||
The restraint locations for main steam lines and for main feedwater lines are provided in Figures 5.2-39 and 5.2-40 respectively. | |||
Restraint locations are based upon what were, at the time of design fixing, the prevailing criteria for number and type of break. | |||
Restraints offer good supplemental protection since pipe displacements are minimized and large kinetic energies are prevented. | |||
The placement of the restraints will prevent excessive pipe displacements in the event of either a longitudinal split or circumferential break, or both, depending on the state of stress in the line. | |||

length of two pipe diameters at a | |||
propagation rate of 500 ft/second. | |||
Pipe Restraints The restraints are designed with a gap sufficient to prevent interference with the normal thermal dynamic motion of the lines. | |||

- Verification that the feedwater lines are free of binding or
' interference with-pipe-rupture restraints under all thermal conditions.
ACTIONS A.
Main _feedwater -piping was walked down at the completion of design change 1684 and replacement-of an elbow on the "C" loop.-
It has been verified that the lines are free of binding or interference with the pipe rupture restraints.
B.
Analytical evaluations of main feedwater pipe movement were reviewed to verify that spacing at pipe supports and rupture
-restraints are adequate under all thermal conditions.
This review entailed a comparison of existing gaps at restraints versus calculated dittolacements under all thermal conditions.
Under -stratified conditions, the piping will close gaps _at specific restraints.
This was incorporated in the. analyses and it has been determined that piping will remain within the design basis stress criteria under all thermal conditions.
C.
Temperature and displacement instrumentation has been installed at -certain locations on nain feedwater piping loops A
and C to_ gather more information and furtaer define.
Global Thermal Stratification effects.
Each temperature monitoring location has a minimum of three (3) thermocouples located at-the
- top, bottom and on the side of-the pipe.
Each' ' displacement location has three-(3) lanyards to measure.
the-veritcal, lateral and axial deflections of the pipe.
Based upon the. actions summarized above, we have concluded that
-the ; main _feedwater piping has_ been restored to-a satisfactory 10,
- configuration for plant operation.

L. W A E:.4
BVPS-1-UPDATED FSAR Rev. 1 (1/83)
The missile with the highest kinetic energy-to-impact area ratio
( KE/A ),
which is considered the most dertructive missile, is a propane bottle relief device
(".ype 3) with KE/A of 7656 ft-lb per square i-h.
The F E/ A of 9195 ft-lb per square inch for the design lasis missile compared to the maximum KE/A from Table 5.2-15 justifies the
" exclusion from further analysis" approach of the safety related equipment isolated by missile proof walls.
5.2.6.2 Exterior Missiles The containment has not been analyzed for exterior missiles generated by hypothetical aircraft accidents, due to the site being located more than 5 miles from any airport (Table 2.1-7 ).
Tornado generated missiles discussed in Section 2.7 include one potential missile equivalent to a 35-ft long wooden utility pole impacting at a velocity of 150 mph.
5.2.6.3 Criteria for Protection Against Dynamic Effects Associated with a Major Pipe Rupture The containment vessel and all essential equipment within the containment are adequately protected against the effects of blowdown jet forces and pipe whip resulting from a postulated pipe rupture of reactor coolant (Class
- 1),
main
- steam, and feedwater (Class 2) lines.
The criteria for adequate protection permits limited damage when analysis or experiment demonstrates that:
1.
Leakage through the containment will not cause offsite dose consequences in excess of 10CFR part 100 guidelines.
2.
The minimum performance capabilities of the engineered safety systems are not reduced below that required to protect against the postulated break.
3.
A pipe break which is not a loss of reactor coolant will not cause a loss of reactor coolant or steam or feedwater line break.
Also, a reactor coolant system pipe break will not cause a steam-feedwatar system pipe break and vice versa.
This level of protection is assured by adherence to the following design criteria.
Placement of Piping and Comoonents The routing of pipe and the placement of components minimize the possibility of damage.
PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION ONLY 5.2-58 (NO CHANGES TO THIS PAGE)
f BVPS-1-UPDATED FSAR Rev. 1 (1/83) l The polar crane wall serves as a barrier between the reactor coolant loops and the containment liner.
In
- addition, the cavity walls, various structural beams, the operating refueling floor, and the crane wall, enclose each reactor coolant loop into a separate compartment, thereby preventing an accident, which may occur in any loop, from affecting another loop or the containment liner.
The portion of the steam and feedwater lines within the containment have been routed behind barriers which separate these lines f rom all reactor coolant piping.
The barriers described above will withstand loadings caused by jet forces and pipe whip impact forces.
Other than for the Emergency Core Cooling System lines, which must circulate cooling water to the vessel, the engineered safety features are located outside of the crane wall.
The Emergency Core Cooling System lines are routed outside of the crane wall so that the penetrations are in the vicinity of the loop to which they are attached.
Supplemental Protection In those regions where the careful layout of piping and cannot offer adequate protection against the dynamic components restraints to effects associated with a postulated pipe rupture, prevent excessive pipe movement or special shielding is provided.
The careful layout of piping and components offers adequate protection against the dynamic effects associated with a
in the case of the main steam and postulated pipe rupture exceptcrane wall and the pressurizer surge feedwater lines outside the line.
In the case of the pressurizer surge line, a sufficient number of restraints are provided such that, following a single break, the unrestrained pipe movement of either end of the ruptured pipe about a plastic hinge formed at the nearest pipe whip restraint cannot impact any structcre, system or component important to safety.
The basis for selecting break locations in the main steam and feedwater systems, whose piping is similar to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Class 2 piping, is discussed belowv and is consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.46
" Protection Against Pipe Whip Inside Containment."
.Since the probability of rupture is strongly related to stress, only a
limited number of break locations are postulated.

Table 5.2-16 gives the pipe break locations postulated for the three main steam and three main feedwater pipe runs inside the containment building.
The loop A main steam line contains three break points and/or areas.
Figures 5.2-33 through 5.2-38 coordinate the point numbers, given in Table 5.2-16 to a location along the pipe run.
The restraint locations for main steam lines and for main feedwater lines are provided in Figures 5.2-39 and 5.2-40 respectively.
Restraint locations are based upon what were, at the time of design fixing, the prevailing criteria for number and type of break.
Restraints offer good supplemental protection since pipe displacements are minimized and large kinetic energies are prevented.
The placement of the restraints will prevent excessive pipe displacements in the event of either a longitudinal split or circumferential break, or both, depending on the state of stress in the line.
In the area where the feedwater and the main steam piping the containment shell, the liner is also protected by penetrate an overlay of 1 1/2 inch thick quenched and tempered steel plate.
Methods of Analysir.
Analyses are performed for pipe impact and jet impingement.
In
- addition, major equipment supports are analyzed to ensure adequacy under postulated pipe rupture loads transmitted by attached piping.
For the purposes of design, unless otherwise stated, the pipe break event is considered a faulted condition, and the pipe, its restraint or barrier, and the structure to which it is attached are designed accordingly.
l 5.2-60
BVPS-1-UPDATED FSAR Rev. 1 (1/83)
Restraints which require plastic deformation are based on 50 parcent of ultimate strain.
The forces associated with both longitudinal and circumferential ruptures are considered in the design of supports and restraints in order to ensure continued integrity of vital components and engineered sa fety features.
The break area for both postulated break types is the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
The break length for the
,ostulated longitudinal breaks is assumed to be equal to twice the pipe diameter.
The analysis takes advantage of limiting factors on the blowdown thrust
- force, such as line
- friction, flow restrictors, pipe configuration, etc.
A rise time is applied to the thrust force to simulate the crack opening time.
A one millisecond rise time is assumed for circumferential breaks.
For longitudinal splits, a rise time is computed based on the growth of a crack from a critical length to a
length of two pipe diameters at a
propagation rate of 500 ft/second.
Pipe Restraints The restraints are designed with a gap sufficient to prevent interference with the normal thermal dynamic motion of the lines.
This permits the pipe to acquire kinetic energy which must be dissipated upon impact into the restraint.
This energy was conservatively set equal to the product of peak thrust times displacement.
No energy disstpation mechanisms operating prior to
- impact, such as plastic deformation in the
- pipe, were considered.
Static analyses of the deformation of the restraints and bolts provided the force displacements characteristics of the restraints.
The area (energy) under this force-displacement curve was matched to the. kinetic energy of the impacting pipe to determine the deformation and load.
Based on
- recent, more detailed analyses, the conservatism of this design approach has been proven.
Figures 5.2-39 and 5.2-40 show the configurations of typical piping restraints and locations of such restraints for the main steam system and feedwater system, respectively.
Figures 5.2-41 and 5.2-42-show the similar information for the pressurizer surge line.
The restraints consist of a circular arch (or yoke) and a welded base support structure that is bolted to a supporting wall.
These restraints are designed so
- that, by the use of self-adjusting shims, the gap between the pipe and the inner surface of the restraint is kept as small as practicable while still allowing free thermal expansion of the pipe during plant operation.

The barrier provided near the containment penetration is attached to the pipe penetration sleeve.
Equipment Supports The internal structural system of the containment is designed to mitigate loading due to rupture in the main reactor coolant lines and the main steam and feedwater lines.
Incident rupture is considered in only one line at a time.
The support system is designed to preclude damage to or rupture of any of the other lines as a result of the incident.
The snubber and key systems are designed to deliver rupture thrusts on the steam generator into the internal structural system.
In determining the steam-generator support reactions, the system is reduced to a dynamic model consisting of a suitable number of masses and resistance elements.
The dynamic problem is solved by numerical methods, using a thrust time history as loading.
Resistance, dynamic amplification of the thrust, and rebound forces are calculated as a function of time.
The reactor vessel and support system is similarly treated.
l 5.2.6.4 Pipe Whip Analysis The analysis of the restrained piping within the containment was completed and the fabrication of restraints begun before any officially acceptable criteria for analysis was published.
Subsequent to the completion of the analysis, analytical methods and criteria to be used in determining pipe whip analysis was transmitted to DLC from the AEC.
The analytical methods and criteria are provided in Attachment A to Section 5.2, " Pipe Whip Analysis Guidelines".
The analytical methods and criteria used were similar to, but not identical with, those outlined in Attachment A.
To facilitate a comparison, the original criteria is provided in Attachment B using the format of Attachment A and a point-by-point comparison is presented.
Emphasis is placed on those criteria which differ.
5.2.7 Corrosion Protection and Coatj gg, 5.2.7.1 Steel Liner The exterior of the steel liner is not coated because it is in intimate contact with the concrete and has adequate protection from corrosion.
The interior of the stsal liner has an inorganic zine coating with a
white epoxy topcoating which provides protection for both normal operating and accident conditions.
5.2.7.2 Concrete and Structural Steel All interior concrete and structural steel surfaces in the containment structure were given a coating suitable for service under DBA conditions.
The steel floor grating is galvanized.

The pcsitions of these valves are indicated in the control room.
The instrumentation, control and electrical equipment of this system conforms to the requirements of Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 279-1971 Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations and IEEE 308-1971 Criteria for Class lE Power Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations.
10.3.5.2 Description 10.3.5.2.1 Condensate and Feedwater Systems is withdrawn from the condenser hotwella by two half-size Condensatemotor-driven condensate pumps.
The pumps discharge into a capacityheader which carries the condensate through two steam jet air common ejector condensers arranged in parallel and through one gland steam A flow control valve and a bypass around the gland steam condenser.
condenser ensure that no more than maximum design flow passes through the gland steam condenser.
Downstream of the gland steam condenser, the common header divides into two lines which carry the through the tube side of two trains of heat exchangers condensate arranged in parallel, each consisting of one heater drain cooler and five low pressure feedwater headers (No.
2 through 6),
each half-capacity.
The effluent from each train combines into a common suction header for the two half-size design capacity steam generator feedpumps.
Mar.,a1 valves permit isolation of one train of heaters for maintenance without a station shutdown.
The condenser hotwell is designed to operate at normal level such that 4
minutes of condensate flow (71,000 gal) is available to supply the condensate pumps.
A 200,000 gal turbine plant demineralized water storage tank floats on the system.
Each of the two vertical barrel-type condensate pumps is rated at 9,700 gpa at 1,078 ft TDH.
Minimum flow of approximately 3,000 gpa total for each of the two condensate pumps is maintained by an orifice measuring device downstream of the gland steam condenser.
The orifice measuring device operates the recirculation valve as shown in Figure 10.3-4.
Two half-size steam generator feedpumps, each rated at 15,200 gpm furnished to supply feedwater to the three and 1,700 ft TDH, are steam generators.
Each feedpump is equipped with two 4,000 hp electric motor drivers in tanden.
Minimum flow for each pump is maintained by administrative control and an automatic recirculation control and alarm
- system, consisting of:
flow measuring nozzles, flow totalizer, controller, and recirculation valves.
The recirculation valvas normally maintain a minimum flow of 8,000 gpa per pump.

A manual bypass around each first-point heater i
allows isolation of these heaters for maintenance without a station shutdown.
During low power operation or hot
- shutdown, when feedwater flow is below 20 percent of design flow, a bypass valve i
around each feedwater control valve provides steam generator level and feedwater flow control.-
The automatic control of the steam generator water level at low power using the feedwater bypass valve is also discussed in section 7.7.1.7.

An automatic -bypass is used to bypass all the low pressure heaters between the condensate pump discharge and the steam generator feedpump suction in the event of a sudden load reduction.
This enables.the_ condensate pumps to supply adequate suction to the steam generator feedpumps.

Condensate -from the condenser hotwell may be discharged-under administrative control through either a-double valved connection line to the circulating water line, if activity levels permit, or
-through a-normally closed-connection to the liquid waste disposal-system (section 11.2.4).
The condensers may also be emptied by
- pumping, with _ the condensate
- pumps, into the turbine plant domineralized water storage tank.
This tank also supplies makeup to the condenser hotwelle.-
During. normal-operation, _ discharge of condensate to the -tank and makeup from the tank are automatically-controlled by the hotwell level.-
Chemical- -feed equipment is-used to add chemical solutions to the L
-discharge-of the condensate pumps in the condensate and feedwater-systems.
The chemicals control residual oxygen content, maintain.pH-at levels specified ini the BVPS-1 Chemistry Manual and inhibit corrosion so as to reduce pickup of metal by the feedwater.
Solutions are mixed and stored in covered feedtanks.
The solutions are pumped into the main condensate system by motor-driven positive
-displacement pumps with manually adjustable stroke.-

BVPS-1 UFSAR THERMAL STRATIFICATION IN THE MAIN FEEDWATER PIPING Insert the following paragraph where indicated in Section 10.3.5.2.1
" Condensate and feedwater Systems," Page 10.3-15.
When a reactor trip occurs feedwater control valves are closed and auxiliary feedwater flow is initiated.
Flow continues into the main feedwater piping downstream through the bypass valve. Continued flow through the bypass valve combines with cold auxiliary feedwater flow to cause thermal stratification in the downstream main feedwater lines. This stratification in the main feedwater lines can cause increased stress levels in the main feedwater piping and supports.
Therefore, the bypass valve around each main feedwater control valve must be isolated above 30 percent power to prevent the possibility of increased stress levels resulting from thermal stratification.2 Add the following reference to the list of Section 10.3 references on Page 10.3-27:
