A thermal transient analysis is performed for each defined transient. Concurrent with the thermal transients are pressure and piping interface loads. For these loads, unit load analyses (based on finite element analysis for pressure and manual calculations for attached piping loads) are performed. All six components of the stress tensor are determined in the stress calculations.

The fatigue usage calculation and environmental fatigue usage analysis will be performed in a separate calculation package. That subsequent calculation will utilize the thermal and pressure stresses determined in this calculation, along with stresses due to attached piping loads provided in Table 3. The stresses due to pressure and the attached piping loads will be scaled based on the temperature and pressure magnitudes during each individual transient, and the location being analyzed. From the Reference [3] calculation, the FEM includes a factor of two on the modeled RPV radius to account for the 3-D effects of two intersecting cylinders at the nozzle blend radius location.

In addition, a membrane stress"cap load" was applied to the modeled end of the piping attached to the core spray nozzle safe end.This membrane stress was calculated as follows: p* Di2 cap -2 2 Do -Di where: P = Pressure = 1,000 psi unit load Di= Inner Diameter at end of model = 9.834 in Do = Outer Diameter at end of model = 10.815 in Therefore, the membrane stress is 4,774 psi. The calculated value is given a negative sign in order for it to exert tension on the piping end of the model. The FEM geometry input file is taken from the calculation that specifies the design and methodology inputs [3, input file VYCSNGEOMINP].
The ANSYS input file VY 16Q_P.INP, as obtained from Appendix A of Reference
[5], contains the pressure loading. Figure 1 shows the applied 1,000 psi internal pressure distribution.
At the vessel wall, a symmetric boundary condition is applied. At the piping end of the model, axial displacement is coupled to simulate the effect of the attached piping that is not modeled. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the boundary conditions.

[2]. Based on that methodology, thermal stresses, pressure stresses, and attached piping load stresses were developed in the Reference [1] calculation for use in a fatigue calculation. The thermal stresses are added to pressure stresses and attached piping load stresses 1 . Both the pressure and piping' load stresses are scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and nozzle temperature during each transient. All six components of the stress tensor from the stress results are used in the fatigue calculation.

The fatigue calculation is performed for both of the limiting safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, as determined in the Reference [1] calculation, and uses the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3].

3.0      DESIGN INPUTS 3.1 Stress Calculation Linearized stress components at Node 3719 (limiting safe end path at inside surface) and Node 2166 (limiting nozzle blend radius path at inside surface) are used for the fatigue usage calculation, as shown in Figure 4 of Reference [1]. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used in the evaluation are for the base metal only; that is, the cladding material is unselected prior to stress extraction. The stress components from the thermal stress analyses are combined with stress components due to pressure and piping loads. The linearized thermal stress components for each Stress components due to piping loads are scaled assuming no stress occurs at an ambient temperature of 70'F and the full values are reached at a reactor design temperature of 575F [2, Assumption 3.1.7]. In addition, design seismic and deadweight loads are also included and scaled in combination with the thermal loads for each transient. This combination, coupled with assigning the stress due to these loads the same sign as the thermal stress, is considered to be a very conservative treatment of the loads overall in that deadweight and design seismic loads are considered and scaled for every transient.

3.2 Fatigue Usage Analysis, General Structural Integrity's VESLFAT program [4] is used to perform the fatigue usage calculation in accordance with the fatigue usage portion of ASME Code Subarticle NB-3200 [3]. VESLFAT performs the analysis required by NB-3222.4(e) [3] for Service Levels A and B conditions defined by the user. The VESLFAT program computes the primary-plus-secondary and total stress ranges for all events and performs a correction for elastic-plastic analysis, if necessary.
& Date Signatures
The program computes the stress intensity range based on the stress component ranges for all event pairs [3, NB-3216.2]. The program evaluates the stress ranges for primary-plus-secondary and primary-plus-secondary-plus-peak stresses based on all six components of stress (3 normal and 3 shear stresses). If the primary-plus-secondary stress intensity range is greater than 3 Sm, the total stress range must be increased by the simplified elastic-plastic strain correction factor Ke, as described in NB-3228.5 [3]. The design stress intensity, Sm, is specified as a function of temperature. The input maximum temperature for both states of a load set pair is used to determine the temperature that Sm is determined from the user-defined values.

When more than one stress set is defined for either of the event pair loadings, the stress differences are determined for all of the potential stress pairs, saving the maximum for the event pair, based on the pair producing the largest alternating total stress intensity (Salt), including any effects of Ke. The principal stresses for the stress ranges are determined by solving for the roots of the following cubic equation2:

This fatigue table is based on a worst-case progressive pairing of events in order of the most severe alternating stress to the least severe, allowing determination of a bounding fatigue usage per NB-3222.4(e) [3].

Tables 1 and 2 show the load sets applicable to plant operation, with cycle counts per Table 2 of Reference [2], used as input to VESLFAT for the safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, respectively. The cycle counts of Reference [2] consider 60 years of operation; see Reference [8] for the numbers of cycles. The data from Table I is entered into the VESLFAT input files VY-VFA T-1I. CYC (safe end-Inconel) and VY-VFAT2-1I.CYC (safe end-Stainless Steel), and the data from Table 2 is entered into the. file VY-VFA T-21.CYC (nozzle blend radius).

Table 3 lists the temperature-dependent material properties used in the analysis [5]. Table 4 lists the fatigue curve for the nozzle and safe end materials [3, Appendix I, Table 1-9.1 and Figure 1-9.1 (UTS < 80.0 ksi) for the nozzle blend radius, and Tables 1-9.1 and 1-9.2.2 (Curve C) and Figures 1-9.2.1 and 1-9.2.2 for both safe end locations]. Curve C is selected because it is the most conservative curve among the three extended curves for austenitic steel.

1 F0306-01RO VStructural Integrity Associates, Inc.1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to perform an ASME Code, Section III fatigue usage evaluation and a plant-specific evaluation of reactor water environmental effects for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) core spray (CS) nozzle at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.1.1 Changes Made in Revision 1 of this Calculation Description of changes made in Revision I of this calculation:
: a. Changed Reference
[1] to reflect revision of that document.b. All other changes marked throughout this calculation are editorial changes made to the text of the calculation package.2.0 METHODOLOGY The methodology to be used for this evaluation was established in a previous calculation package[2]. Based on that methodology, thermal stresses, pressure stresses, and attached piping load stresses were developed in the Reference
[1] calculation for use in a fatigue calculation.
The thermal stresses are added to pressure stresses and attached piping load stresses 1.Both the pressure and piping' load stresses are scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and nozzle temperature during each transient.
All six components of the stress tensor from the stress results are used in the fatigue calculation.
The fatigue calculation is performed for both of the limiting safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, as determined in the Reference
[1] calculation, and uses the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3]. An environmental fatigue usage analysis is also performed in this calculation applying the methodology described in Reference
[6].3.0 DESIGN INPUTS 3.1 Stress Calculation Linearized stress components at Node 3719 (limiting safe end path at inside surface) and Node 2166 (limiting nozzle blend radius path at inside surface) are used for the fatigue usage calculation, as shown in Figure 4 of Reference

Curve C is selected because it is the most conservative curve among the three extended curves for austenitic steel. VESLFAT automatically scales the stresses by the ratio of E on the fatigue curve to E in the analysis, for purposes of determining allowable numbers of cycles, as required by the ASME Code.Other material properties are input as follows: m 1.7, n = 0.3, parameters used to calculate Ke for the safe end location (both materials)

The K values listed above are used to multiply the Membrane plus Bending stress results of the pressure load and piping load to yield Total Stress. So, Ki * (Memb+Bend)pressure = Total Stresspressure and K2 * (Memb+Bend)piping = Total StressPiping.
As shown in Table 5, the pressure and thermal stresses use the membrane-plus-bending and total stress from the finite element analysis [1], and include stress indices where appropriate.

There are 7 Rearranger sheets, one for each thermal transient as analyzed by ANSYS. In these sheets, thermal stresses are copied from Excel workbook VY-StressResults.xls, and rearranged to conform to VESLFAT input format (including switching the shear stress components Sxz and Syz as required by VESLFAT).
The stress indices for each location and loading scenario are calculated in the previous section. These stress indices are used in the Excel workbooks described below.

Since the attached piping loads can act in any direction, the stresses due to the attached piping loads are assigned the same sign as the thermal stresses to maximize the component stresses.Algebraic summation of all six stress components is performed for pressure, piping loads, and thermal stresses at each transient time step.

From Table 6, the safe end (Inconel) cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.000174 for 60 years. From Table 7, the safe end (Stainless Steel) cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.000742 for 60 years.From Table 8, the nozzle blend radius CUF is 0.0171 for 60 years.From Table 1 of Reference
Algebraic summation of all six stress components is performed for pressure, piping loads, and thermal stresses at each transient time step. The VESLFAT stress input also includes time-varying metal temperature, as obtained from the ANSYS output, which is used to determine temperature-dependent properties from the values in Table 3.
[6], it was determined that hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) is available for 47% of the total 60-year operating period, and normal water chemistry (NWC) is present for the remaining 53% of the total 60-year operating period. From Table 1 of Reference

[7]. The overall Fen (fatigue life correction factor), per Reference
 
[7], is 1.49 and can be applied to the CS nozzle safe end (Inconel) location based on identical materials, i.e. SB-166. The resulting Environmentally Assisted Fatigue (EAF) adjusted CUF value is 0.000174 x 1.49 = 0.000259, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable.

It results in an EAF adjusted CUF of 8.36 x 0.000742 = 0.00620 for 60 years, which is acceptable (i.e., less than the allowable value of 1.0).Based on the detailed CUF calculation shown in Table 8, a detailed EAF adjusted CUF evaluation on a load-pair basis is provided for the nozzle blend radius location in Table 9. The overall Fen is 8.20.The resulting EAF adjusted CUF value is 0.0171 x 8.20 = 0.140, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable.
From Table 6, the safe end (Inconel) cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.000174 for 60 years. From Table 7, the safe end (Stainless Steel) cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.000742 for 60 years.
From Table 8, the nozzle blend radius CUF is 0.0171 for 60 years.
From Table 1 of Reference [6], it was determined that hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) is available for 47% of the total 60-year operating period, and normal water chemistry (NWC) is present for the remaining 53% of the total 60-year operating period. From Table 1 of Reference [6], the dissolved oxygen values for the RPV upper vessel region (which is applicable to the CS nozzles) are 97 ppb for HWC conditions and 114 ppb for NWC conditions.
For the safe end location (Inconel), the environmental fatigue factor is determined based on Alloy 600 methodology consistent with Reference [7]. The overall Fen (fatigue life correction factor), per Reference [7], is 1.49 and can be applied to the CS nozzle safe end (Inconel) location based on identical materials, i.e. SB-166. The resulting Environmentally Assisted Fatigue (EAF) adjusted CUF value is 0.000174 x 1.49 = 0.000259, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable.
For the stainless steel piping, the environmental fatigue factors for post-HWC and pre-HWC are both 8.36 from Table 4 of Reference [6]. The overall environmental multiplier is 8.36. It results in an EAF adjusted CUF of 8.36 x 0.000742 = 0.00620 for 60 years, which is acceptable (i.e., less than the allowable value of 1.0).
Based on the detailed CUF calculation shown in Table 8, a detailed EAF adjusted CUF evaluation on a load-pair basis is provided for the nozzle blend radius location in Table 9. The overall Fen is 8.20.
The resulting EAF adjusted CUF value is 0.0171 x 8.20 = 0.140, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable.

S AND DISCUSSIONS Detailed fatigue calculations for the Vermont Yankee CS nozzle were performed based on the results of stress analyses previously performed
S AND DISCUSSIONS Detailed fatigue calculations for the Vermont Yankee CS nozzle were performed based on the results of stress analyses previously performed [1]. The thermal stresses were combined with stresses due to pressure and attached piping loads, both of which were scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and metal temperature during each thermal transient. All six components of the stress tensor were used for the fatigue calculations. The fatigue calculations were performed at previously-determined limiting locations in the safe end and nozzle blend radius, and used the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3].

2.0 METHODOLOGY A detailed fatigue usage calculation of the RO nozzle will be performed using the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [1]. The 1998 Edition includingthe 2000 Addenda of the ASME Code [10] is also used for material properties. Only the fatigue calculation portion of the ASME Code methodology will be used and the analysis will be a fatigue assessment only, not a complete ASME Code analysis.
.......................................................................................
Finite element analysis will be performed using a previously-developed axisymmetric finite element model (FEM) of the RO nozzle [7]. Thermal transient analysis will-be performed using the FEM for each defined transient. Concurrent with the thermal transients are pressure and piping interface loads; for these loads' unit load analyses (finite element analysis for pressure, and manual calculations for piping loads) will be performed. The stresses from these analyses will be scaled appropriately based on the magnitude of the pressure and piping loads during each thermal transient, and combined with stresses from the thermal transients. Other stress concentration factors (SCFs) will be applied as appropriate.

All six components of the stress tensor will be used for stress calculations. The stress components for the non-axisymmetric loads (shear and moment piping loads) can have opposite signs depending upon which side of the nozzle is being. examined. Therefore, when combining stress components from these loads with stress components from thermal transients and other loads, the signs of the stress components will be adjusted to maximize the magnitude of the stress component ranges. The fatigue analysis will be performed at locations that were determined in a previous calculation [4]. Stresses will be linearized at these locations.

Thermal and stress analysis for the worst case transient for the safe end An interactive review of the worst case thenral stress results (which are controlling for the safe end)showed the critical location in the model to be at Node 6395. The location of Node 6395 is shown in FileNo.: 0801038.305 Page 5 of 16 Revision:
1 F0306-O1RO Figure 4. This location was selected since it possessed the highest stress intensity during the worst case thermal transient.
This is the same location evaluated in Reference
[4].A critical stress location in the nozzle blend radius will also be analyzed.
This location is chosen based upon the highest pressure stress (which is controlling in the nozzle blend radius) in the base metal. An interactive review of the pressure stress intensity results showed the critical location in the nozzle blend radius to be at Node 3829 (Figure 5). This is the same location evaluated in Reference
[4].Figure 6 shows the two critical stress paths that will be used to extract the linearized stresses at the safe end and nozzle blend radius.4.4 Stress Calculation Linearized stresses from Node 6395 (safe end inside surface) and Node 3829 (nozzle blend radius inside surface of base metal) are used for the fatigue usage analysis, as shown in Figure 6. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used are for the base metal only; since the cladding is of the integrally bonded type and is less than 10% of the total thickness of the section the material is unselected prior to stress extraction, per NB-3 122.3 [2].The pressure stress intensities for the safe end and blend radius paths were extracted using the ANSYS file VY/RONP.INP.
This produced one file, ROPRESSURE.lin, that contains results of the critical stress paths.Table 1 shows the final pressure stress intensity results for the safe end and blend radius. The results at the blend radius are slightly different from those reported in Table 2 of Reference
[4] as a result of the revised material properties (i.e., temperature dependent material properties were used in the current evaluation vs. constant material properties in Reference
[4]).Results were also extracted from the vessel portion of the model to verify the accuracy of the results obtained from the ANSYS model, and to check the results due to the use of the 2.0 multiplier on the vessel radius. These results are contained in the file RO PRESSURE.
lin. The radius of the finite element model (FEM) was multiplied by a factor of 2.0 [4] to account for the fact that the vessel portion of the axisymmetric model is a sphere, but the true geometry is the intersection of two cylinders.
The equation for the membrane hoop stress in a thin wall sphere is: 0 (pressure) x (radius))S 2 x th~ickes Considering an actual vessel base metal radius, R, of 105.906 inches increased by a factor of 2.0, a vessel base metal thickness, t, of 5.4375 inches, and an applied pressure, P, of 1,000 psi, the calculated stress for a thin wall sphere is PR/(2t) = 19,477 psi. This compares very well with the remote vessel wall membrane hoop stress from the ANSYS result file, ROPRESSURE.lin, of FileNo.: 0801038.305 Page 6 of 16 Revision:
1 F0306-O1 RO 18,070 psi. Thus, considering the peak total pressure stress of 31,270 psi, the stress concentrating effect of the nozzle blend radius is 31,270/19,477
= 1.61. In other words, the peak nozzle blend radius stress is 1.61 times higher than nominal vessel wall stress for the axisyimnetric model.The equation for the membrane hoop stress in a thin wall cylinder is: ((pressure) x (radius)k thickness j" Based on the previous dimensions, the calculated stress for a cylinder without the 2.0 factor is 19,477 psi. Increasing this by a factor of 1.61 yields an expected peak nozzle blend radius stress of 31,358 psi, which would be expected from a cylindrical geometry that is representative of the nozzle configuration.
Therefore, the result from the ANSYS file for the peak nozzle blend radius stress (31,270 psi) is close to the peak nozzle blend radius stress for a cylindrical geometry because of the use of the 2.0 multiplier.
This is consistent with SI's experience where a factor of two increase in radius is typical for representing the 3-D effect in an axisymmetric model.4.5 Piping Loads The piping loads were taken from Table 4 of Reference
[3]. To determine the piping load stresses, the distances from the applied piping loads to the limiting stress locations were first determined.
The limiting stress path locations from Section 4.3 are in the same locations assumed in Table 4 of Reference
[3]; this means that no reconciliation of the lengths in Table 4 of Reference
[3] is needed.Reference
[3, Section 4.1 ] methodology was used to calculate the piping load stresses.
The piping loads and piping load stresses are found in Table 4 and Table 5 of Reference
[3].Table 1: Pressure Stress Intensity Results (1,000 psi)Membrane plus Total Stress Location Bending Stress Intensity Intensity (psi)(psi)Safe End (Path 1 Inside) 11,350 11,490 Blend Radius (h2nd 30,540 31,270 (Path 2 Inside)FileNo.: 0801038.305 Page 7 of 16 Revision:
1 F0306-01RO 5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS A thennal transient analysis for each defined transient, as well as unit pressure stress and piping interface load analyses were performed for the RO nozzle at Vermont Yankee. All six components of the stress tensor were extracted from the ANSYS model at the two limiting path locations, which are the same two locations previously evaluated
[4]. Table 2 provides the unit (1,000 psig) pressure stress analysis results. The unit pressure load results are used to choose the location to analyze at the* nozzle blend radius and will be scaled up or down based on applied pressures in the fatigue analysis.Table 5 of Reference
[3] provides the piping stresses at the two critical locations.

4.4 Stress Calculation Linearized stresses from Node 6395 (safe end inside surface) and Node 3829 (nozzle blend radius inside surface of base metal) are used for the fatigue usage analysis, as shown in Figure 6. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used are for the base metal only; since the cladding is of the integrally bonded type and is less than 10% of the total thickness of the section the material is unselected prior to stress extraction, per NB-3 122.3 [2].

The pressure stress intensities for the safe end and blend radius paths were extracted using the ANSYS file VY/RONP.INP. This produced one file, ROPRESSURE.lin, that contains results of the critical stress paths.

Table 1 shows the final pressure stress intensity results for the safe end and blend radius. The results at the blend radius are slightly different from those reported in Table 2 of Reference [4] as a result of the revised material properties (i.e., temperature dependent material properties were used in the current evaluation vs. constant material properties in Reference [4]).
... ................
Results were also extracted from the vessel portion of the model to verify the accuracy of the results obtained from the ANSYS model, and to check the results due to the use of the 2.0 multiplier on the vessel radius. These results are contained in the file RO PRESSURE.lin. The radius of the finite element model (FEM) was multiplied by a factor of 2.0 [4] to account for the fact that the vessel portion of the axisymmetric model is a sphere, but the true geometry is the intersection of two cylinders.

18,070 psi. Thus, considering the peak total pressure stress of 31,270 psi, the stress concentrating effect of the nozzle blend radius is 31,270/19,477 = 1.61. In other words, the peak nozzle blend radius stress is 1.61 times higher than nominal vessel wall stress for the axisyimnetric model.

((pressure)x k      thickness        j" Based on the previous dimensions, the calculated stress for a cylinder without the 2.0 factor is 19,477 psi. Increasing this by a factor of 1.61 yields an expected peak nozzle blend radius stress of 31,358 psi, which would be expected from a cylindrical geometry that is representative of the nozzle configuration. Therefore, the result from the ANSYS file for the peak nozzle blend radius stress (31,270 psi) is close to the peak nozzle blend radius stress for a cylindrical geometry because of the use of the 2.0 multiplier. This is consistent with SI's experience where a factor of two increase in radius is typical for representing the 3-D effect in an axisymmetric model.

4.5 Piping Loads The piping loads were taken from Table 4 of Reference [3]. To determine the piping load stresses, the distances from the applied piping loads to the limiting stress locations were first determined. The limiting stress path locations from Section 4.3 are in the same locations assumed in Table 4 of Reference [3]; this means that no reconciliation of the lengths in Table 4 of Reference [3] is needed.
Revision Pages Signature
Reference [3, Section 4.1 ] methodology was used to calculate the piping load stresses. The piping loads and piping load stresses are found in Table 4 and Table 5 of Reference [3].

1.0      OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to perform an ASME Code, Section III fatigue usage evaluation and a plant-specific evaluation of reactor water environmental effects for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) recirculation outlet (RO) nozzle at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.
1.1    Changes Made in Revision 1 of this Calculation Description of changes made in Revision I of this calculation:
: a. Editorial changes were made to Table 1 to more precisely describe the transient load sets.
: b. All but one of the changes made to Table 2 were editorial to more precisely describe the portions of the transients. The one non-editorial change was to move a time split in Transient 9 to better catch a stress peak or stress valley.
: c. Table 3 and the corresponding VESLFAT input file were revised to reflect actual material properties for the safe end. Revision 0 of this calculation tabulated SA-1 82 F304 (18Cr -8Ni) properties, but actually used properties for an Alloy 600 material.
: d. Table 5 was changed to eliminate the application ofKt = 1.53 to the nozzle corner piping loads.
: e. Tables 6, 7, and 8 were revised to reflect the new fatigue usage and environmental assisted fatigue summaries as a result of the changes associated with Bullets b and c above.
: f. Table 8 was revised for editorial changes.
: g. The results of various sensitivity studies on fatigue usage were added to Section 5.0.
: h. Revision of CUF values in Sections 5.0 and 6.0 to reflect revised analyses.
: i. All remaining changes marked throughout this calculation are editorial changes made to the text of the calculation package.
2.0      METHODOLOGY The methodology to be used for this evaluation was established in a previous calculation package
[2]. Based on that methodology, thermal stresses, pressure stresses, and attached piping load stresses were developed in the Reference [1 ] calculation for use in this fatigue calculation. The thermal stresses are added to pressure stresses and attached piping load stresses'. Both the pressure and piping load stresses are scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and nozzle fluid temperature during each transient. All six components of the stress tensor from the stress results are used in the fatigue calculation.
Stress components due to piping loads are scaled assuming no stress occurs at an ambient temperature of 70'F and the full values are reached at a reactor design temperature of 575'F [2, Assumption 3.1.7]. In addition, design seismic and deadweight loads are also included and scaled in combination with the thermal loads for each transient. This combination, coupled with assigning the stress due to these loads the same sign as the thermal stress, is considered to be a very conservative treatment of the loads overall in that deadweight and design seismic loads are considered and scaled for every transient.

The fatigue calculation is performed for both the limiting safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, as determined in the Reference [1] calculation, and uses the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3]. An environmental fatigue usage analysis is also performed in this calculation applying the methodology and associated environmental fatigue multipliers described in Reference [6].
3.0      DESIGN INPUTS 3.1 Stress Calculation Linearized stress components at Node 6395 (limiting safe end path at inside surface) and Node 3829 (limiting nozzle blend radius path at inside surface) are used for the fatigue usage calculation, as shown in Figure 6 of Reference [1]. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used in the evaluation are for the base metal only; that is, the cladding material is unselected prior to stress extraction. The stress components from the thermal stress analyses are combined with stress components due to pressure and piping loads. The linearized thermal stress components for each transient are taken from the relevant output files in the Reference [1] calculation (a sample of which was provided in Table 3 of Reference [1]). The unit pressure stress component results are taken from Table 2 of Reference [1]. Piping load stress components are taken from Table 5 of the Reference [2] calculation.
3.2 Fatigue Usage Analysis, General Structural Integrity's VESLFAT program [4] is used to perform the fatigue usage calculation in accordance with the fatigue usage portion of ASME Code, Section III, Subarticle NB-3200 [3].
VESLFAT performs the analysis required by NB-3222.4(e) [3] for Service Levels A and B conditions defined by the user. The VESLFAT program computes the primary-plus-secondary and total stress ranges for all events and performs a correction for elastic-plastic analysis, if necessary.
The program computes the stress intensity range based on the stress component ranges for all event pairs [3, NB-3216.2]. The program evaluates the stress ranges for primary-plus-secondary and primary-plus-secondary-plus-peak stresses based on all six components of stress (3 normal and 3 shear stresses). If the primary-plus-secondary stress intensity range is greater than 3 Sm, the total stress range must be increased by the simplified elastic-plastic strain correction factor, Ke, as described in NB-3228.5 [3]. The design stress intensity, Sm, is specified as a function of temperature. The input maximum temperature for both states of a load set pair is used to establish the S,, value used in the fatigue calculations from the user-defined input values.
When more than one stress set is defined for either of the event pair loadings, the stress differences are determined for all of the potential stress pairs, and the pair producing the largest alternating total stress intensity (Salt), including any effects of Ke, is used. The principal stresses for the stress ranges are determined by solving for the roots of the following cubic equation2:
S3 _ (Tx    -+- yY+ O-z)S2 + (C3x Cy -+ C7 a, z + a,-7    - ,y2    _ Sxz2 _ Syz2)s 2Note that cy., ay, az, etc. are used synonymously with Sx, S,, S,, etc., in this calculation.

This allows a fatigue table to be created to eliminate the number of cycles available for each of the transient events. This fatigue table is based on a worst-case progressive pairing of events in order of the most severe alternating stress to the least severe, allowing determination of a bounding fatigue usage per NB-3222.4(e) [3]. For each load set pair in the fatigue table, the allowable number of cycles is determined based on Salt.

3.3     Event Cycles, VESLFAT For the Vermont Yankee RO nozzle analysis, transients that consist of combined stress peaks or valleys are split so that each successive peak or valley is treated separately. Therefore, there are 61 load sets based on the combined stress changes for the safe end, and 46 load sets based on the combined stress changes for the nozzle blend radius location. The reason the number of load sets are not equal for each path is because the time history stress results of those paths differ. Tables 1 and 2 show the load sets applicable to plant operation, with cycle counts per Table I of Reference [2].

The reason the number of load sets are not equal for each path is because the time history stress results of those paths differ. Tables 1 and 2 show the load sets applicable to plant operation, with cycle counts per Table I of Reference
[2].These are used as input to VESLFAT for the safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, respectively.
The cycle counts of Reference
[2, 7] consider 60 years of operation.
The data from Table 1 is entered into the VESLFAT input files VY-RO-VFAT-1i.CYC (safe end) and the data from Table 2 is entered into the file VY-RO- VFAT-21. CYC (nozzle blend radius).3.4 Material Properties, VESLFAT Material properties are entered in VESLFAT input files VY-RO-VFAT-]I.FDT (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2I.FDT (nozzle blend radius). Table 3 lists the temperature-dependent material properties used in the analysis [5]. Table 4 lists the fatigue curve for the nozzle blend radius and safe end materials[3, Appendix I, Table 1-9.1 and Figure 1-9.1 (UTS < 80.0 ksi) for the nozzle blend radius, and Tables 1-9.1 and 1-9.2.2 (Curve C) and Figures 1-9.2.1 and 1-9.2.2 for the safe end location].
Curve C is selected for the safe end location because it is the most conservative curve among the three extended curves for austenitic steel. VESLFAT automatically scales the stresses by the ratio of E on the fatigue curve to E in the analysis, for the purposes of determining allowable numbers of cycles, as required by the ASME Code.Other material properties are input as follows: m = 1.7, n = 0.3, parameters used to calculate Ke for the safe end location [3, Table NB-3228.5(b)-1]
m = 2.0, n = 0.2, parameters used to calculate Ke for the nozzle blend radius location [3, Table NB-3228.5(b)-1]

[1]. The stresses caused by the piping were hand calculated and do require a stress concentration factor, if appropriate.
File No.: 0801038.306                                                                                   Page 5 of 19 Revision: 1 F0306-OIRO
The stress concentration factor for the safe end location is 1.53 [2, Section 3.8]. This value is conservatively used for both the C 2 and K 2 values required by the ASME Code [3, NB-3600].
The piping loads are relatively minor in comparison to the other loads this nozzle experiences so the conservative C 2 and K 2 values will have a small impact on the analysis.
Table 5 shows the piping loads after applying the C 2 and K 2 values as appropriate.
4.0 CALCULATIONS Table 5 contains the stress components at the locations of interest for the 1,000 psi unit pressure stress case [1, Table 2]. Table 5 also contains the stress components for the attached piping load unit stress case [2, Table 5], which correspond to a reactor design temperature of 575&deg;F [2, Section 3.1.7].The attached piping load stress components were applied assuming the same signs as the thermal stress, which yields the largest stress component ranges.The calculations of all of the VESLFAT stress inputs are automated in Excel workbooks VY-RO-VFAT-li.xls (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2i.xls (nozzle blend radius). These files are organized with sheets labeled as follows:* Overview:
Contains general information.
* Other Stresses:
Contains pressure and attached piping load stresses.
As shown in Table 5, the pressure stresses use the membrane-plus-bending and total stress from the finite element analysis [1].* Rearranger:
There are 12 Rearranger sheets, one for each thermal transient as analyzed by ANSYS. In these sheets, thermal stresses are copied from Excel workbook VY-RO-StressResults.xls, and rearranged to conform to VESLFAT input format (including switching the shear stress components Sx, and Sy, as required by VESLFAT).
VY-RO-StressResults.xls contains the results of the ANSYS stress linearization for each transient.
The files contained within this workbook are shown in Table 9. Time-varying scale factors for the attached piping loads (based on path metal temperature) and pressure are determined, and used to scale the unit load case stresses, which are then added to the thermal stresses.
Since the attached piping loads can act in any direction, the stresses due to the attached piping loads are assigned the same sign as the thermal stresses to maximize the component stresses.Algebraic summation of all six stress components is performed for pressure, piping loads, and thermal stresses at each transient time step. The VESLFAT stress input also includes time-varying metal temperature, as obtained from the ANSYS output, which is used to determine temperature-dependent properties from the values in Table 3.* VESLFAT: Contains the VESLFAT stress input, as obtained from the Rearranger sheets.Load set numbers are entered on this sheet, as defined in Table 1 and Table 2. These sheets are saved to VESLFAT input files VY-RO-VFAT-li.STR (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2i.STR (nozzle blend radius).File No.: 0801038.306 Page 6 of 19 Revision:
I F0306-O1RO Structural Integrity Associates, Inc.5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS Table 6 and Table 7 provide the detailed calculated 60-year fatigue usage, as obtained from VESLFAT output files VY-RO-VFAT-11.FAT (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2LFAT (nozzle blend radius). All VESLFAT input and output files are saved in the project computer files associated with this calculation.
From Table 6, the safe end cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.00308 for 60 years. From Table 7, the nozzle blend radius CUF is 0.0 175 for 60 years.From Table 1 of Reference
[6], it was determined that hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) is available for 47% of the total 60-year operating period, and normal water chemistry (NWC) is present for the remaining 53% of the total 60-year operating period. From Table 1 of Reference
[6], the dissolved oxygen values for the recirculation line (which is applicable to the RO nozzle) are 48 ppb for HWC conditions and 122 ppb for NWC conditions.
For the stainless steel piping, the environmental fatigue factors for post-HWC and pre-HWC are 15.35 and 8.36 from Table 2 of Reference
[6]. The overall environmental multiplier is found by (15.35 x 47% + 8.36 x 53%), which equals 11.645, conservatively rounded upto 11.7. Therefore, the overall environmental multiplier is 11.7, which results in an EAF adjusted CUF of 11.7 x 0.00308 0.0360 for 60 years, which is acceptable (i.e., less than the allowable value of 1.0).Based on the detailed CUF calculation shown in Table 7, a detailed EAF adjusted CUF evaluation on a load-pair basis is provided for the nozzle blend radius location in Table 8. The EAF usage from Table 8 is 0.111 for 60 years, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable.
The effective overall Fen is 0.111/0.0175
= 6.32.As a part of fatigue analysis calculations, it was noted that using Fy = -20 kips in the piping loads caused a slightly higher total stress intensity.
However, the change was determined to have an insignificant effect on fatigue usage results. In addition, the effect of modeling the distinct material properties of both Type F304 and Type F316 in the ANSYS analysis (as opposed to using 18Cr-8Ni properties) was determined to have an insignificant effect on fatigue usage results. Finally, the effect of applying a minimum temperature of 130'F for thermal boundary Region 2 (see Figure 1 of Reference
[2]) was determined to have an insignificant effect on fatigue usage results. These investigations and associated results are contained in the project files.

S AND DISCUSSIONS Detailed fatigue calculations for the Vermont Yankee RO nozzle were performed based on the results of stress analyses previously performed
3.5    Stress Indices The limiting stress path for the RO nozzle safe end is defined in Reference [1]. The stresses caused by the piping were hand calculated and do require a stress concentration factor, if appropriate. The stress concentration factor for the safe end location is 1.53 [2, Section 3.8]. This value is conservatively used for both the C2 and K2 values required by the ASME Code [3, NB-3600]. The piping loads are relatively minor in comparison to the other loads this nozzle experiences so the conservative C2 and K2 values will have a small impact on the analysis. Table 5 shows the piping loads after applying the C2 and K2 values as appropriate.
[1]. The thermal stresses were combined with stresses due to pressure and attached piping loads, both of which were scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and metal temperature during each thermal transient.
4.0      CALCULATIONS Table 5 contains the stress components at the locations of interest for the 1,000 psi unit pressure stress case [1, Table 2]. Table 5 also contains the stress components for the attached piping load unit stress case [2, Table 5], which correspond to a reactor design temperature of 575&deg;F [2, Section 3.1.7].
All six components of the stress tensor were used for the fatigue calculations.
The attached piping load stress components were applied assuming the same signs as the thermal stress, which yields the largest stress component ranges.
The fatigue calculations were performed at previously-determined limiting locations in the safe end and nozzle blend radius, and used the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3].File No.: 0801038.306 Page 7 of 19 Revision:
The calculations of all of the VESLFAT stress inputs are automated in Excel workbooks VY-RO-VFAT-li.xls (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2i.xls (nozzle blend radius). These files are organized with sheets labeled as follows:
1 F0306-O1RO Structural Integrity Associates, Inc.The 60-year CUT for the safe end location was'determined to be 0.00308 and the CUF for the nozzle blend radius location was determined to be 0.0175. Both values are less than the ASME Code allowable value of 1.0, and are therefore acceptable.
* Overview: Contains general information.
Detailed EAF assessments were also performed for the two RO nozzle locations.
* Other Stresses: Contains pressure and attached piping load stresses. As shown in Table 5, the pressure stresses use the membrane-plus-bending and total stress from the finite element analysis [1].
The 60-year EAF CUF for the safe end location was determined to be 0.0360. The 60-year EAF CUF for the nozzle blend radius location was determined to be 0.111 using temperature-dependent Fen multipliers for each load pair. Both values are less than the ASME Code allowable value of 1.0, and are therefore acceptable.
* Rearranger: There are 12 Rearranger sheets, one for each thermal transient as analyzed by ANSYS. In these sheets, thermal stresses are copied from Excel workbook VY-RO-StressResults.xls, and rearranged to conform to VESLFAT input format (including switching the shear stress components Sx, and Sy, as required by VESLFAT). VY-RO-StressResults.xls contains the results of the ANSYS stress linearization for each transient. The files contained within this workbook are shown in Table 9. Time-varying scale factors for the attached piping loads (based on path metal temperature) and pressure are determined, and used to scale the unit load case stresses, which are then added to the thermal stresses. Since the attached piping loads can act in any direction, the stresses due to the attached piping loads are assigned the same sign as the thermal stresses to maximize the component stresses.
Algebraic summation of all six stress components is performed for pressure, piping loads, and thermal stresses at each transient time step. The VESLFAT stress input also includes time-varying metal temperature, as obtained from the ANSYS output, which is used to determine temperature-dependent properties from the values in Table 3.
* VESLFAT: Contains the VESLFAT stress input, as obtained from the Rearranger sheets.
Load set numbers are entered on this sheet, as defined in Table 1 and Table 2. These sheets are saved to VESLFAT input files VY-RO-VFAT-li.STR (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2i.STR (nozzle blend radius).

From Table 1 of Reference [6], it was determined that hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) is available for 47% of the total 60-year operating period, and normal water chemistry (NWC) is present for the remaining 53% of the total 60-year operating period. From Table 1 of Reference [6], the dissolved oxygen values for the recirculation line (which is applicable to the RO nozzle) are 48 ppb for HWC conditions and 122 ppb for NWC conditions.

For the stainless steel piping, the environmental fatigue factors for post-HWC and pre-HWC are 15.35 and 8.36 from Table 2 of Reference [6]. The overall environmental multiplier is found by (15.35 x 47% + 8.36 x 53%), which equals 11.645, conservatively rounded upto 11.7. Therefore, the overall environmental multiplier is 11.7, which results in an EAF adjusted CUF of 11.7 x 0.00308 0.0360 for 60 years, which is acceptable (i.e., less than the allowable value of 1.0).

Based on the detailed CUF calculation shown in Table 7, a detailed EAF adjusted CUF evaluation on a load-pair basis is provided for the nozzle blend radius location in Table 8. The EAF usage from Table 8 is 0.111 for 60 years, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable. The effective overall Fen is 0.111/0.0175 = 6.32.

(Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station)

Docket No. 50-271-LR; ASLBP No. 06-849-03-LR Gentlemen:

In accordance with the provisions of the Board's Partial Initial Decision (Ruling on Contentions 2A, 2B, 3, and 4), LBP-08-25, 68 N.R.C. (Nov. 24, 2008), slip op. at 67, and the Board's Order (Clarifying Deadline for Filing New or Amended Contentions) (Mar. 9, 2009),

Entergy has revised and issued its final calculations of record for the confirmatory environmentally assisted fatigue (CUFen) analyses on the reactor pressure vessel core spray (CS) and recirculation outlet (RO) nozzles at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. These revised analyses are presented in the following Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SIA) calculations: Calculation No. 0801038.302, Revision 1, "Stress Analysis of Reactor Core Spray Nozzle;" Calculation No. 0801038.303, Revision 1, "Fatigue Analysis of Reactor Core Spray Nozzle;" Calculation No. 0801038.304, Revision 1, "Design Inputs and Methodology for ASME Code Fatigue Usage Analysis of Reactor Recirculation Outlet Nozzle;" Calculation No.

0801038.305, Revision 1, "Stress Analysis of Reactor Recirculation Outlet Nozzle;" and Calculation No. 0801038.306, Revision 1, "Fatigue Analysis of Reactor Recirculation Outlet Nozzle." Calculation 0801038.301, Revision 0, "Design Inputs and Methodology for ASME Code Fatigue Usage Analysis of Reactor Core Spray Nozzle" has not been revised so that the version sent to the parties on January 8, 2009 remains the final calculation of record.

O37~ T-o -5

March 10, 2009 Page 2 Entergy is serving at this time electronic copies of those analyses on the parties to the above captioned proceeding. Hard copies are also being sent today by overnight mail to the NRC Staff, the New England Coalition and the Vermont Department of Public Service.

The methodology applied in the referenced CS and RO confirmatory analyses is in accordance with the approach used in the SIA calculations for the feedwater nozzle that were introduced into evidence in this proceeding, and contains no significantly different scientific or technical judgments from those used in the feedwater nozzle calculations. See Calculation 0801038.301 at 4, n.1 and Calculation 0801038.304 at 4, n. 1.

As set forth in the referenced revised calculations, the limiting calculated CUFenS for the CS and RO nozzles are less than unity and are therefore acceptable.

1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to obtain stress distributions for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) core spray (CS) nozzle at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. ANSYS [1]

thernal transient and pressure stress analyses are performed, along with calculation of stresses due to attached piping loads. The stress results will be used for a subsequent ASME Code,Section III NB-3200 [2] fatigue usage calculation.

1.1 Changes Made in Revision 1 of this Calculation Description of changes made in Revision 1 of this calculation:

a. All changes marked throughout this calculation are editorial changes made to the text of the calculation package.

2.0 METHODOLOGY The methodology to be used for this evaluation was established in a previous calculation package

[3]. A previously developed finite element model (FEM) [3] of the CS nozzle is used to perform thermal and pressure stress analyses using ANSYS [1]. A thermal transient analysis is performed for each defined transient. Concurrent with the thermal transients are pressure and piping interface loads. For these loads, unit load analyses (based on finite element analysis for pressure and manual calculations for attached piping loads) are performed. All six components of the stress tensor are determined in the stress calculations.

The fatigue usage calculation and environmental fatigue usage analysis will be performed in a separate calculation package. That subsequent calculation will utilize the thermal and pressure stresses determined in this calculation, along with stresses due to attached piping loads provided in Table 3. The stresses due to pressure and the attached piping loads will be scaled based on the temperature and pressure magnitudes during each individual transient, and the location being analyzed. From the Reference [3] calculation, the FEM includes a factor of two on the modeled RPV radius to account for the 3-D effects of two intersecting cylinders at the nozzle blend radius location.

3.0 ASSUMPTIONS / DESIGN INPUTS Assumptions and design inputs were previously established in Section 3.1 of the Reference [3]

calculation.

4.0 CALCULATIONS 4.1 Finite Element Unit Pressure Stress Analysis A uniform pressure of 1,000 psi was applied to the FEM along the inside surface of the CS nozzle and the RPV wall (Figure 1). A pressure load of 1,000 psi was used because it is easily scaled up or FileNo.: 0801038.302 Page 3 of 15 Revision: 1 F0306-O1RO

down to account for different pressures that occur during transients. In addition, a membrane stress "cap load" was applied to the modeled end of the piping attached to the core spray nozzle safe end.

This membrane stress was calculated as follows:

p* Di2 cap - Do 2 - Di 2 where:

P = Pressure = 1,000 psi unit load Di= Inner Diameter at end of model = 9.834 in Do = Outer Diameter at end of model = 10.815 in Therefore, the membrane stress is 4,774 psi. The calculated value is given a negative sign in order for it to exert tension on the piping end of the model. The FEM geometry input file is taken from the calculation that specifies the design and methodology inputs [3, input file VYCSNGEOMINP].

The ANSYS input file VY 16Q_P.INP, as obtained from Appendix A of Reference [5], contains the pressure loading. Figure 1 shows the applied 1,000 psi internal pressure distribution. At the vessel wall, a symmetric boundary condition is applied. At the piping end of the model, axial displacement is coupled to simulate the effect of the attached piping that is not modeled. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the boundary conditions.

4.2 Thermal Transient Stress Analysis The FEM geometry input file is taken from the calculation that specifies the design and methodology inputs [3, file VYCSNGEOM.INP], and is used as input to the files in which the thermal transient and pressure stress analyses are performed.

For the thermal transient ANSYS analyses, previously defined thernal transients [3, Table 2] are evaluated, applying heat transfer coefficients [3, Tables 4 through Table 18], as appropriate, based on the flow rates for each individual transient.

Each thermal transient is evaluated in ANSYS to determine the resulting temperature distributions.

The thermal results are used as input for the stress analysis for each transient. The boundary conditions used for the pressure load case were also applied to the thermal stress cases. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the application of these boundary conditions.

All ANSYS input files for the thennal analyses, as listed below, are saved in the project computer files:

This location was selected since it possessed the highest stress intensity during the worst case thermal transient.

Also from Section 4.0 of Reference [5], the critical stress location in the nozzle blend radius was chosen based upon the highest pressure stress (which is controlling in the nozzle blend radius). The pressure stress results showed the critical location in the nozzle blend radius to be at Node 2166.

Figure 4 shows the two critical stress paths that will be used to find the linearized stresses at the safe end and nozzle blend radius.

4.4 Stress Calculation Linearized stresses from Node 3719 (safe end inside surface) and Node 2166 (nozzle blend radius inside surface of base metal) are used for the fatigue usage analysis, as shown in Figure 4. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used are for the base metal only; the cladding material is unselected prior to stress extraction.

The pressure stress intensities for the safe end and blend radius paths were extracted using the ANSYS file VY_]6QP.INP. This produced one file, PRESSURE.lin, which contains results of the critical stress paths.

Table 1 shows the final pressure results for the safe end and blend radius. These results are slightly different from those reported in Table 14 of Reference [5] as a result of the revised material properties (i.e., temperature dependent material properties were used in the current evaluation vs. constant material properties in Reference [5]).

Membrane plus Total Stress Location Bending Stress Intensit Intensity (psi)

(psi)

Safe End 12,030 12,070 Blend Radius 30,720 36,150 Results were also extracted from the vessel portion of the model to verify the accuracy of the results obtained from the ANSYS model, and to check the results due to the use of the 2.0 multiplier on the vessel radius. These results are contained in the file PRESSURE.lin. The radius of the finite element model (FEM) was multiplied by a factor of 2.0 [3] to account for the fact that the vessel portion of the axisymmetric model is a sphere, but the true geometry is the intersection of two cylinders.

The equation for the membrane hoop stress in a sphere is:

(pressure)x (radius) 2 x thickness Considering a vessel base metal radius, R, of 105.906 inches increased by a factor of 2.0, a vessel base metal thickness, t, of 5.4375 inches, and an applied pressure, P, of 1,000 psi, the calculated stress for a sphere is PR/(2t) = 19,477 psi. This compares very well with the remote vessel wall membrane hoop stress from the ANSYS result file, PRESSURE.lin, of 18,960 psi. Thus, considering the peak total pressure stress of 36,150 psi reported above, the stress concentrating effect of the nozzle comer is 36,150/19,477 = 1.86. In other words, the peak nozzle comer stress is 1.86 times higher than nominal vessel wall stress for the axisymmetric model.

The equation for the membrane hoop stress in a cylinder is:

I

((pressure) x (radius))

thickness Based on the previous dimensions, the calculated stress for a cylinder without the 2.0 factor is 19,477 psi. Increasing this by a factor of 1.86 yields an expected peak nozzle comer stress of 36,227 psi, which would be expected from a cylindrical geometry that is representative of the nozzle configuration. Therefore, the result from the ANSYS file for the peak nozzle comer stress (36,150 psi) is close to the peak nozzle comer stress for a cylindrical geometry because of the use of the 2.0 File No.: 0801038.302 Page 6 of 15 Revision: 1 F0306-OIRO

multiplier. This is consistent with SI's experience where a factor of two increase in radius is typical for representing the 3-D effect in an axisymmetric model.

4.5 Piping Loads The piping loads per Reference [4] are as follows:

F, = 2,500 lbs Mx= 264,000 in-lb Fy = 4,600 lbs My= 85,200 in-lb F, = 1,700 lbs Mz= 105,600 in-lb The point of loads application is at the intersection between the safe end-to-pipe weld [4, 61]

Therefore, the safe end critical location is 0.303 inches and the nozzle blend radius is 30.817 inches from the load application point. (The nozzle blend radius location was measured from approximately the middle of the critical stress path for the blend radius and applied to the inside blend radius location along the critical stress path.) From general structural mechanics, the membrane plus bending stresses at the inside surface of a thick-walled cylinder are:

cyzl = axial stress due to axial force = Fz/A cy, = axial stress due to bending moment = Mxy(ID/2)/I (z = Tzl 5"z2

,re = shear stress due to torsion = Mz(ID/2)/J z = shear stress due to shear force = 2Fxy/A, where Fx, Fy, Fz, M,, My, and Mz are forces and moments at the pipe-to-safe end weld M* = moment about x axis translated by length z = -L = M, - Fy L MyL = moment about y axis translated by length z = -L = My + Fx L 2

Mxy = resultant bending moment = (MxL + MyL2)0.5 2

Fxy = resultant shear force = (Fx + Fy2)0.5 ID, OD = inside and outside diameters 2 2

A = area of cross section = (it/4)(OD - ID )

I = moment of inertia = (7/64)(OD 4 - ID 4)

J = polar moment of inertia = (7/32)(0D 4 - ID4)

The piping load stress calculations for these locations are shown in Table 3.

The piping loads tabulated in and pictorially shown in Reference [4] were applied by CB&I at the safe end-to-pipe weld. Refer to Reference [6], page 9 of 13; CB&I RPV Stress Report, Section S7.

5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS A thermal transient analysis for each defined transient, as well as unit pressure stress and piping interface load analyses were performed for the CS nozzle at Vermont Yankee. All six components of the stress tensor were extracted from the ANSYS model at the two limiting path locations. Table 2 provides the unit pressure stress analysis results. The unit pressure load results are used to choose the location to analyze at the nozzle blend radius and will be scaled up or down based on applied pressures for the final fatigue analysis. Table 3 provides the piping stresses at the two critical locations. Table 4 shows an example of thermal stress results. The remaining thermal stress results are contained in the ANSYS output files, listed below, which are saved in the project computer files:

1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to perform an ASME Code,Section III fatigue usage evaluation and a plant-specific evaluation of reactor water environmental effects for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) core spray (CS) nozzle at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.

1.1 Changes Made in Revision 1 of this Calculation Description of changes made in Revision I of this calculation:

a. Changed Reference [1] to reflect revision of that document.
b. All other changes marked throughout this calculation are editorial changes made to the text of the calculation package.

2.0 METHODOLOGY The methodology to be used for this evaluation was established in a previous calculation package

[2]. Based on that methodology, thermal stresses, pressure stresses, and attached piping load stresses were developed in the Reference [1] calculation for use in a fatigue calculation. The thermal stresses are added to pressure stresses and attached piping load stresses 1 . Both the pressure and piping' load stresses are scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and nozzle temperature during each transient. All six components of the stress tensor from the stress results are used in the fatigue calculation.

The fatigue calculation is performed for both of the limiting safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, as determined in the Reference [1] calculation, and uses the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3]. An environmental fatigue usage analysis is also performed in this calculation applying the methodology described in Reference [6].

3.0 DESIGN INPUTS 3.1 Stress Calculation Linearized stress components at Node 3719 (limiting safe end path at inside surface) and Node 2166 (limiting nozzle blend radius path at inside surface) are used for the fatigue usage calculation, as shown in Figure 4 of Reference [1]. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used in the evaluation are for the base metal only; that is, the cladding material is unselected prior to stress extraction. The stress components from the thermal stress analyses are combined with stress components due to pressure and piping loads. The linearized thermal stress components for each Stress components due to piping loads are scaled assuming no stress occurs at an ambient temperature of 70'F and the full values are reached at a reactor design temperature of 575F [2, Assumption 3.1.7]. In addition, design seismic and deadweight loads are also included and scaled in combination with the thermal loads for each transient. This combination, coupled with assigning the stress due to these loads the same sign as the thermal stress, is considered to be a very conservative treatment of the loads overall in that deadweight and design seismic loads are considered and scaled for every transient.

transient are taken from the relevant output files associated with the Reference [1] calculation (a sample of which was provided in Table 4 of Reference [1]). The unit pressure stress component results are taken from Table 2 of Reference [1]. Piping load stress components are taken from Table 3 of the Reference [I] calculation.

3.2 Fatigue Usage Analysis, General Structural Integrity's VESLFAT program [4] is used to perform the fatigue usage calculation in accordance with the fatigue usage portion of ASME Code Subarticle NB-3200 [3]. VESLFAT performs the analysis required by NB-3222.4(e) [3] for Service Levels A and B conditions defined by the user. The VESLFAT program computes the primary-plus-secondary and total stress ranges for all events and performs a correction for elastic-plastic analysis, if necessary.

The program computes the stress intensity range based on the stress component ranges for all event pairs [3, NB-3216.2]. The program evaluates the stress ranges for primary-plus-secondary and primary-plus-secondary-plus-peak stresses based on all six components of stress (3 normal and 3 shear stresses). If the primary-plus-secondary stress intensity range is greater than 3 Sm, the total stress range must be increased by the simplified elastic-plastic strain correction factor Ke, as described in NB-3228.5 [3]. The design stress intensity, Sm, is specified as a function of temperature. The input maximum temperature for both states of a load set pair is used to determine the temperature that Sm is determined from the user-defined values.

When more than one stress set is defined for either of the event pair loadings, the stress differences are determined for all of the potential stress pairs, saving the maximum for the event pair, based on the pair producing the largest alternating total stress intensity (Salt), including any effects of Ke. The principal stresses for the stress ranges are determined by solving for the roots of the following cubic equation2:

S3 _ (aix "+ aiy +k (iz)S2 -+- ((x (yy + a(y (iz + (iz U, - Sxyz -x2_ 2_-X yz2 )S

- ((Fxa (y Uz + 2rxy Txz T"yz - Uz Cxy -2 (y Txz -_ax Tyz ) 0 The stress intensities for the event pairs are reordered in decreasing order of Salt, including a correction for the ratio of modulus of elasticity (E) from the fatigue curve divided by E from the material evaluated at the maximum event temperature. This allows a fatigue table to be created to eliminate the number of cycles available for each of the transient events. This fatigue table is based on a worst-case progressive pairing of events in order of the most severe alternating stress to the least severe, allowing determination of a bounding fatigue usage per NB-3222.4(e) [3]. For each load set pair in the fatigue table, the allowable number of cycles is determined based on Salt.

3.3 Event Cycles, VESLFAT For the Vermont Yankee CS nozzle analysis, transients that consist of combined stress ramps are split so that each successive ramp is treated separately. Therefore, there are 25 load sets based on the combined stress changes for the safe end, and 27 load sets based on the combined stress changes 2 Note that a., a,, a,, etc. are used synonymously with S,, S,,, S., etc., in this calculation.

for the nozzle blend radius location. The reason the number of load sets are not equal for each path is because the time history stress results of those paths differ. Tables 1 and 2 show the load sets applicable to plant operation, with cycle counts per Table 2 of Reference [2], used as input to VESLFAT for the safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, respectively. The cycle counts of Reference [2] consider 60 years of operation; see Reference [8] for the numbers of cycles. The data from Table I is entered into the VESLFAT input files VY-VFA T-1I. CYC (safe end-Inconel) and VY-VFAT2-1I.CYC (safe end-Stainless Steel), and the data from Table 2 is entered into the. file VY-VFA T-21.CYC (nozzle blend radius).

3.4 Material Properties, VESLFAT Material properties are entered in VESLFAT input files VY-VFAT-]1.FDT (safe end-Inconel), VY-VY-VFAT2-1LFDT (safe end-Stainless Steel) and VY-VFAT-2I.FDT (nozzle blend radius). Table 3 lists the temperature-dependent material properties used in the analysis [5]. Table 4 lists the fatigue curve for the nozzle and safe end materials [3, Appendix I, Table 1-9.1 and Figure 1-9.1 (UTS < 80.0 ksi) for the nozzle blend radius, and Tables 1-9.1 and 1-9.2.2 (Curve C) and Figures 1-9.2.1 and 1-9.2.2 for both safe end locations]. Curve C is selected because it is the most conservative curve among the three extended curves for austenitic steel. VESLFAT automatically scales the stresses by the ratio of E on the fatigue curve to E in the analysis, for purposes of determining allowable numbers of cycles, as required by the ASME Code.

Other material properties are input as follows:

m 1.7, n = 0.3, parameters used to calculate Ke for the safe end location (both materials) [3, Table NB-3228.5(b)-1]

m = 2.0, n = 0.2, parameters used to calculate K, for the nozzle blend radius location [3, Table NB-3228.5(b)-I]

E from fatigue curve = 28,300 ksi [3, Appendix I, Figure 1-9.2] for the safe end locations.

E from fatigue curve = 30,000 ksi [3, Appendix I, Figure 1-9.1 ] for the nozzle blend radius location.

3.5 Stress Indices Stress indices are calculated per Reference [2, Section 3.8]. For the safe end location and using the ANSYS thermal stress results, the membrane plus bending stress results are multiplied by K3 and then are added to the peak thermal stress results to yield total thermal stress, taking guidance from Equation 11 of NB-3600 [3]. The total thermal stresses are then added to the total piping and total pressure stresses.

C1 = C2 = C3 = 1, because the ANSYS model is sufficient to account for the effects of gross structural discontinuity. The path for Node 2166 does not contain a weld and, therefore, does not take the same guidance from NB-3600. However, the path for Node 3719 uses guidance and the following values from NB-3600 for an "as welded girth butt weld":

K1 = 1.2, From Table 3681(a)-I of NB-3600 [3]

K 2 = 1.8, From Table 3681(a)-I of NB-3600 [3]

K 3 = 1.7, From Table 3681(a)-I of NB-3600 [3]

The K values listed above are used to multiply the Membrane plus Bending stress results of the pressure load and piping load to yield Total Stress. So, Ki * (Memb+Bend)pressure = Total Stresspressure and K2 * (Memb+Bend)piping = Total StressPiping.

4.0 CALCULATIONS Table 5 contains the stress components at the locations of interest for the 1,000 psi unit pressure stress case [1, Table 2]. Table 5 also contains the stress components for the attached piping load unit stress case [1, Table 3], which correspond to a reactor design temperature of 575'F [2, Section 3.1.7].

The attached piping load stress components were applied assuming the same signs as the thermal stress, which yields the largest stress component ranges.

The stress indices for each location and loading scenario are calculated in the previous section. These stress indices are used in the Excel workbooks described below.

The calculations of all of the VESLFAT stress inputs are automated in Excel workbooks VY-VFAT-]i.xls (safe end-both materials) and VY-VFAT-2i.xls (nozzle blend radius). These files are organized with sheets labeled as follows:

  • Overview: Contains general information.
  • Other Stresses: Contains pressure and attached piping load stresses. As shown in Table 5, the pressure and thermal stresses use the membrane-plus-bending and total stress from the finite element analysis [1], and include stress indices where appropriate.

Rearranger: There are 7 Rearranger sheets, one for each thermal transient as analyzed by ANSYS. In these sheets, thermal stresses are copied from Excel workbook VY-StressResults.xls, and rearranged to conform to VESLFAT input format (including switching the shear stress components Sxz and Syz as required by VESLFAT). VY-StressResults.xls contains the results of the ANSYS stress linearization for each transient. The files contained within this workbook are shown in Table 10. Time-varying scale factors for the attached piping loads (based on path metal temperature) and pressure are determined, and used to scale the unit load case stresses, which are then added to the thermal stresses. Since the attached piping loads can act in any direction, the stresses due to the attached piping loads are assigned the same sign as the thermal stresses to maximize the component stresses.

Algebraic summation of all six stress components is performed for pressure, piping loads, and thermal stresses at each transient time step. The VESLFAT stress input also includes time-varying metal temperature, as obtained from the ANSYS output, which is used to determine temperature-dependent properties from the values in Table 3.

VESLFAT: Contains the VESLFAT stress input, as obtained from the Rearranger sheets.

Load set numbers are entered on this sheet, as defined in Table I and Table 2. These sheets are saved to VESLFAT input files VY-VFAT-]i.STR (safe end-Inconel), VY-VFAT2-1i.STR (safe end-Stainless Steel), and VY-VFAT-2i.STR (nozzle blend radius).

5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8 provide the detailed calculated 60-year fatigue usage, as obtained from VESLFAT output files VY-VFAT-11.FAT (safe end-Inconel), VY-VFAT2-1LFAT (safe end-Stainless Steel), and VY-VFAT-2L.FAT (nozzle blend radius). All VESLFAT input and output files are saved in the project computer files associated with this calculation.

From Table 6, the safe end (Inconel) cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.000174 for 60 years. From Table 7, the safe end (Stainless Steel) cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.000742 for 60 years.

From Table 8, the nozzle blend radius CUF is 0.0171 for 60 years.

From Table 1 of Reference [6], it was determined that hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) is available for 47% of the total 60-year operating period, and normal water chemistry (NWC) is present for the remaining 53% of the total 60-year operating period. From Table 1 of Reference [6], the dissolved oxygen values for the RPV upper vessel region (which is applicable to the CS nozzles) are 97 ppb for HWC conditions and 114 ppb for NWC conditions.

For the safe end location (Inconel), the environmental fatigue factor is determined based on Alloy 600 methodology consistent with Reference [7]. The overall Fen (fatigue life correction factor), per Reference [7], is 1.49 and can be applied to the CS nozzle safe end (Inconel) location based on identical materials, i.e. SB-166. The resulting Environmentally Assisted Fatigue (EAF) adjusted CUF value is 0.000174 x 1.49 = 0.000259, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable.

For the stainless steel piping, the environmental fatigue factors for post-HWC and pre-HWC are both 8.36 from Table 4 of Reference [6]. The overall environmental multiplier is 8.36. It results in an EAF adjusted CUF of 8.36 x 0.000742 = 0.00620 for 60 years, which is acceptable (i.e., less than the allowable value of 1.0).

Based on the detailed CUF calculation shown in Table 8, a detailed EAF adjusted CUF evaluation on a load-pair basis is provided for the nozzle blend radius location in Table 9. The overall Fen is 8.20.

The resulting EAF adjusted CUF value is 0.0171 x 8.20 = 0.140, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable.

6.0 CONCLUSION

S AND DISCUSSIONS Detailed fatigue calculations for the Vermont Yankee CS nozzle were performed based on the results of stress analyses previously performed [1]. The thermal stresses were combined with stresses due to pressure and attached piping loads, both of which were scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and metal temperature during each thermal transient. All six components of the stress tensor were used for the fatigue calculations. The fatigue calculations were performed at previously-determined limiting locations in the safe end and nozzle blend radius, and used the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3].

The 60-year CUF for the safe end location (Inconel) was determined to be 0.000 174, the safe end location (Stainless Steel) was determined to be 0.000742, and the CUF for the nozzle blend radius File No.: 0801038.303 Page 7 of 18 Revision: 1 F0306-O1RO

location was determined to be 0.0171. All three values are less than the ASME Code allowable value of 1.0, and are therefore acceptable.

Detailed EAF assessments were also performed for the two CS nozzle locations. The 60-year EAF CUF for the safe end location was determined to be 0.000259 using standard Alloy 600 methodology

[7]. The 60-year EAF CUF for the safe end location (Stainless Steel) was determined to be 0.00620.

The 60-year EAF CUF for the nozzle blend radius location was determined to be 0.140 using temperature-dependent Fen multipliers for each load pair. All EAF CUF values are less than the ASME Code allowable value of 1.0, and are therefore acceptable.

1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to establish the design inputs and methodology to be used for an ASME Code,Section III fatigue usage calculation of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) recirculation outlet (RO) nozzle at Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS) 1 .

This calculation, along with subsequent calculations for stress and fatigue, are being performed to assess the impact of using finite element analysis using all six components of stress in lieu of the Green's Function approach used in SI project VY-16Q [4, 7, and 11]. Therefore, to the extent possible, inputs from that project will be maintained and used.

a. Transient 9 described in Table 1 was changed to more precisely match the Green's Function analysis.
b. All remaining changes marked throughout this calculation are editorial changes made to the text of the calculation package.

2.0 METHODOLOGY A detailed fatigue usage calculation of the RO nozzle will be performed using the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [1]. The 1998 Edition includingthe 2000 Addenda of the ASME Code [10] is also used for material properties. Only the fatigue calculation portion of the ASME Code methodology will be used and the analysis will be a fatigue assessment only, not a complete ASME Code analysis.

Finite element analysis will be performed using a previously-developed axisymmetric finite element model (FEM) of the RO nozzle [7]. Thermal transient analysis will-be performed using the FEM for each defined transient. Concurrent with the thermal transients are pressure and piping interface loads; for these loads' unit load analyses (finite element analysis for pressure, and manual calculations for piping loads) will be performed. The stresses from these analyses will be scaled appropriately based on the magnitude of the pressure and piping loads during each thermal transient, and combined with stresses from the thermal transients. Other stress concentration factors (SCFs) will be applied as appropriate.

All six components of the stress tensor will be used for stress calculations. The stress components for the non-axisymmetric loads (shear and moment piping loads) can have opposite signs depending upon which side of the nozzle is being. examined. Therefore, when combining stress components from these loads with stress components from thermal transients and other loads, the signs of the stress components will be adjusted to maximize the magnitude of the stress component ranges. The fatigue analysis will be performed at locations that were determined in a previous calculation [4]. Stresses will be linearized at these locations.

The methodology described and applied herein and in the two additional recirculation outlet nozzle fatigue calculations is in accordance with the approach used in the SIA calculations for the feedwater nozzle [16, 17, 18] and contains no significantly different scientific or technical judgments used in those calculations.

The linearized primary plus secondary membrane plus bending stress will be used to determine the value of Ke to be used in the simplified elastic-plastic analysis in accordance with ASME Code NB-3200 methodology. Environmental fatigue multipliers will be applied in accordance with NUREG/CR-6583 [2]

for the low alloy steel forging and NUREG/CR-5704 [15.] for the stainless steel safe end.

3.0 ASSUMPTIONS / DESIGN INPUTS 3.1 Assumptions

1. Extended power uprate (EPU) effects are considered as being applied to the entire 60-year period of operation. The higher pressures, flows, and temperatures at uprate conditions are used in determining and applying heat transfer coefficients [4, Section 3.2] [11, Section 4.1].
2. The Boltup transientdoes not affect the RO nozzle because there is no pressure or temperature change, and the nozzle is sufficiently removed from the vicinity of the flange such that stresses due to head stud tensioning are insignificant at the nozzle location [8]. The Boltup transient is therefore excluded from the transients analyzed.
3. For the blend radius and safe end transient definitions, steady state condition time steps were assumed to be 5,000 seconds for Transients 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 40,000 seconds for Transients 1, 2, 4, 7, 10.
4. The effect of non-uniform geometries is judged to be insignificant for flow inside the safe end, because of the smooth transition and small, geometry changes, as shown in Figure 3. The nominal inner diameter for all heat transfer regions was used to calculate heat transfer coefficients.
5. Density, p, and Poisson's ratio, v, used in the FEM are assumed typical values of p = 0.283 lb/in 3 and v = 0.3, respectively.
6. For purposes of linearizing stress at the nozzle blend radius, the cladding is ignored'.
7. Stress components due to piping loads are scaled assuming no stress occurs at an ambient temperature of 707F and the full values are reached at reactor design temperature, 575°F, as was done in the previous analysis [11, Section 3.4].
8. Consistent with Reference [4], 12% of the available temperature difference (AT) between the fluid and surface was assumed for all natural convection thermal heat transfer coefficients.
9. The instant temperature change for transients is assumed as a 1-second time step.

3.2 ASME Code Edition The analysis will be performed in a manner consistent with the fatigue usage rules in NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code; the 1998 Edition with Addenda through 2000 [1] will be used, for consistency with the previous analysis [11].

3.3 Transients Previously developed thermal and pressure transients [11 Tables 2 and 3] are used for this analysis. The transients to be evaluated are shown in Table 1. For each transient, the time, nozzle fluid temperature, RPV pressure, percent reactor recirculation flow rate, and number of cycles are included. In some cases, flow rates and nozzle temperature values from the nozzle thermal cycle diagram [8, Attachment 1, p. 4] are used' to reduce excess conservatism. Note that the only difference between the vessel and the safe end/nozzle transients is the temperature difference between the two regions for Transient 9.

At the inside surface of the RPV, the Region B or BI bulk fluid temperature from the reactor thermal cycle diagram [8, Attachment 1, p. 2] shall be applied.

3.4 Heat Transfer Coefficients Heat transfer coefficients are calculated at 300' F, as in the previous analysis [4]. The heat transfer coefficients for the 100% flow and 50% flow cases were calculated from Reference [5] as follows:

K =0.8 ( 0.2 S3 h°-25 DDf Where:

hDf= the heat transfer coefficient at a Diameter and flow rate h 300 = the heat transfer coefficient from Reference [5] at 300°F,f= 25 ft/sec, and D= 26" =,4,789 BTU/hr-ft2_OF fif= the flow velocity corresponding to hDf (ft/sec)

DDf= the diameter corresponding to hDf(in)

The heat transfer coefficients for 0% flow were calculated in spreadsheet HTCOEF.xls for natural convection and are shown in Tables 6 and 7.

Region 6 The heat transfer coefficient, h, is 0.4 BTU/hr-ft2 -OF [5].

A summary of the heat transfer coefficients (HTC) to be used is shown in Table 2.

3.5 Finite Element Model The ANSYS program [6] will be used to perform the finite element analysis. A previously developed axisymmetric model will be used [7, file RONVYINP], except that temperature-dependent material properties will be used. Table 3 shows the applicable material properties [10].

Stresses will be extracted and linearized at two locations, both on the inside surface of the model, one at the safe end, and one at the blend radius, as was done previously [4].

3.6 Nozzle Blend Radius Pressure Stress The axisymmetric model has the effect of modeling the cylindrical RPV as spherical. The following paragraphs describe the details of the modeling used to account for the differences in this approximation and the actual geometry of two intersecting cylinders.

The radius of the vessel in the finite element model was multiplied by a factor of 2 to account for the fact that the vessel portion of the axisymmetric model is a sphere, but the true geometry is a cylinder. The equation for the membrane hoop stress for a sphere is:

(pressure) x (radius) 2 x thickness The equation for the membrane hoop stress in a cylinder is:

(pressure)x (radius) thickness The factor of two was verified in Reference [4], where actual stress results were compared to the results of this analytical form.

The pressure stress components for the safe end and blend radius paths will be extracted using ANSYS [6].

3.7 Piping Interface Loads Per Reference [9, 11], the RO nozzle piping loads, which conservatively use the design loads for the seismic, thermal and deadweight load combination, are stated in Table 4 along with relevant dimensions.

The coordinate system used for these are shown in Figure 2 and is consistent with Reference [9]. The finite element model coordinate system is shown in Figure 1.

3.8 SCFs, Safe End At the safe end inside surface, guidance is taken from the piping analysis rules in Subarticle NB-3600 of Section III of the ASME Code [1]. The stresses caused by the piping will be hand calculated and require a stress concentration factor, if appropriate. The stress concentration factor for the safe end location is 1.53 [5, page I-S9-4E, Table 5]. This value is conservatively used for both the C 2 and K2 values required by the ASME code [1, NB-3600]. The piping loads are relatively minor in comparison to the other loads this nozzle experiences so the conservative C2 and K 2 values will have a small impact on the analysis.

These factors are conservatively applied to all six components of the stress tensor.

3.9 Environmental Fatigue Multipliers The environmental fatigue multipliers for the safe end will be calculated in accordance with NUREG/CR-5704 methodology [15], and the environmental fatigue multipliers for the nozzle blend radius will be calculated in accordance with NUREG/CR-6583 methodology [2].

4.0 CALCULATIONS 4.1 Piping Interface Loads From general structural mechanics [14], the membrane plus bending stresses at the inside surface of a thick-walled cylinder are:

az, = axial stress due to axial force = Fz/A cz, = axial stress due to bending moment = Mxy(ID/2)/I cz = czI + cyz2 TrO =.shear stress due to torsion = Mz(ID/2)/J Trz = shear stress due to shear force = 2Fxy/A, where F,, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, and M, are forces and moments at the pipe-to-safe end weld MxL = moment about x axis translated by length z = -L = M, - Fy L MyL = moment about y axis translated by length2 z0 =5 -L = My + Fx L Mxy = resultant bending moment2 = (MxL2 + MyL )

Fxy = resultant shear force = (Fx F y2)0'5 ID, OD = inside and outside diameters A = area of cross section = (n/4)(OD 2 - ID 2)

I = moment of inertia = (ir/64)(OD4 - ID 4)

J = polar moment of inertia = (70/32)(0D 4 - ID4)

The shear stresses are expressed in a local coordinate system with r radial (X in ANSYS coordinates), 0 circumferential (Z in ANSYS coordinates), and Z axial (Y in ANSYS coordinates). Tables 4 and 5 show the calculation of stresses; ID, OD, and L are taken from the previous piping load stress calculations [11, Section 3.4]. Forces and moments are taken from Reference 11, Table 1. Note that the IDs shown in Table 4 for the safe end and nozzle blend radius (25.938" and 37.368", respectively) represent the two most limiting locations for the nozzle (See Figure 3), and therefore do not represent the ID values where the HTCs were calculated.

5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS This calculation package specifies the ASME Code Edition, finite element model, thermal and pressure transients (Table 1), and HTCs (Table 2) to be used in a fatigue usage calculation of the RO nozzle at Vermont Yankee. Thermal transient and pressure stress components will be calculated using ANSYS [6]

and will be combined with piping loads in subsequent calculations.

Linearized stress components will be used for the fatigue usage calculation. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used in the evaluation will be for the base metal only; that is, the cladding material will be unselected prior to stress extraction consistent with ASME Code rules and Reference [13].

The fatigue usage calculation will consider all six stress components, and will be performed using the rules of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [1]. Calculated fatigue usage factors will be multiplied by the appropriate environmental fatigue multipliers computed for each location.

The results of this calculation are to be used in SIA calculations: No. 081038.305, Stress Analysis of Reactor Recirculation Outlet Nozzle and No. 081038.306, Fatigue Analysis of Recirculation Outlet Nozzle File No.: 0801038.304 Page 18 of 20 Revision: 1 F0306-01I

1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to obtain stress distributions for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) recirculation outlet (RO) nozzle at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.

ANSYS [1] thermal transient and pressure stress analyses are performed, along with calculation of stresses due to attached piping loads. The stress results will be used for a subsequent ASME Code,Section III NB-3200 [2] fatigue usage calculation.

1.1 Changes Made in Revision 1 of this Calculation Description of changes made in Revision 1 of this calculation:

a. Transient 9 described in Section 4.3 was changed to more precisely match the Green's Function analysis. This also required modification of the input files VY_RONTRAN9-T.INP and VY RON TRAN9-S.INP.
b. The input files VY_RON_TRAN2-T.INP and VY_RONTRAN2-S.INP were modified to include a finer time step around 601 seconds.
c. A Kt value of 1.53 that was conservatively applied to piping loads at blend radius was changed to Kt = 1.0 to match the Green's Function analysis.
d. Table 3 was revised because the input file VYRONTRAN4-T.INP was updated to correct a conservative misapplication of a temperature ramp rate.
e. Figure 4 was revised because Transient 9, which produced Figure 4, was modified.
f. All remaining changes marked throughout this calculation are editorial changes made to the text of the calculation package.

2.0 METHODOLOGY The methodology to be used for this evaluation was established in a previous calculation package

[3]. A previously developed finite element model (FEM) [3] of the RO nozzle is used to perform thermal and pressure stress analyses using ANSYS [1]. A thermal transient analysis is performed for each defined transient. Concurrent with the thermal transients are pressure and piping interface loads. For these loads, unit load analyses (based on finite element analysis for pressure and manual calculations for attached piping loads) are performed. All six components of the stress tensor are determined in the stress calculations.

The fatigue usage calculation and environmental fatigue usage analysis will be performed in a separate calculation package. That subsequent calculation will utilize the thermal and pressure stresses determined in this calculation, along with stresses due to attached piping loads provided in Tables 4 and 5 of Reference [3]. The stresses due to pressure and the attached piping loads will be scaled based on the temperature and pressure magnitudes during each individual transient, and the location being analyzed. The appropriate nozzle blend radius effects factor will also be applied to the total stresses for the nozzle blend radius location.

3.0 ASSUMPTIONS / DESIGN INPUTS Assumptions and design inputs were previously established in Section 3.0 of the Reference [3]

calculation. Assumption 3.1.3 of Reference [3] was verified in this calculation package by plotting the stress components of each transient in ANSYS. If the stress components plot did not contain a step change at the end of the transient, the steady state portion, the steady state time step assumed was determined to be adequate.

4.0 CALCULATIONS 4.1 Finite Element Unit Pressure Stress Analysis A uniform pressure of 1,000 psi was applied to the FEM along the inside surface of the RO nozzle and the RPV wall (Figure 1). A pressure load of 1,000 psi was used because it is easily scaled up or down to account for different pressures that occur during transients. In addition, a membrane stress "cap load" was applied to the modeled end of the piping attached to the RO nozzle safe end. This membrane stress was calculated as follows:

PD.

PDi 2 P

Pcap = 2 2 where:

P = Pressure = 1,000 psi unit load Di= Inner Diameter at end of model = 25.9375 in Do = Outer Diameter at end of model = 28.375 in Therefore, the membrane stress is 5,082 psi. The calculated value is given a negative sign in order for it to exert tension on the piping end of the model. The FEM geometry input file is taken from the calculation that specifies the design and methodology inputs [3, input file RONVY.INP]. The ANSYS input file VY RON P.INP contains the pressure loading. Figure 1 shows the applied 1,000 psi internal pressure distribution. At the vessel wall, a symmetric boundary condition is applied. At the piping end of the model, axial displacement is coupled to simulate the effect of the attached piping that is not modeled. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the boundary conditions.

4.2 Thermal Transient Stress Analysis The FEM geometry input file is taken from the calculation that specifies the design and methodology inputs [3, file RONVY.INP], and is used as input to the files in which the thermal transient and pressure stress analyses are performed.

For the thermal transient ANSYS analyses, previously defined thermal transients [3, Table 1] are evaluated, applying heat transfer coefficients [3, Table 2], as appropriate, based on the flow rates for each individual transient.

Each thermal transient is evaluated in ANSYS to determine the resulting temperature distributions.

The thermal results are used as input for the stress analysis for each transient. The boundary FileNo.: 0801038.305 Page 4 of 16 Revision: 1 F0306-O1RO

conditions used for the pressure load case were also applied to the thermal stress cases. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the application of these boundary conditions.

All ANSYS input files for the thermal analyses, as listed below, are saved in the project computer files:

This transient, Transient 9, is intended to represent the worst case thermal transient. This occurs during the Improper Startup cycle per Reference [3, Table 1]. The thermal transient conditions are:

  • 12% flow rate heat transfer coefficients.

Thermal shock from 526°F to 130'F along the inside surface of the nozzle safe end and piping and a blend radius and lower vessel thermal shock from 526 0F to 2680 F.

  • Constant temperatures from previous step for 26 seconds
  • Thermal shock from 130'F to 526°F along the inside surface of the nozzle safe end and piping and a blend radius and lower vessel thermal shock from 268'F to 526°F.
  • Steady state temperature conditions following thermal shocks.
  • Constant temperature of 120'F on the outside surface of the model.

The ANSYS input files for the analysis, as listed below, are saved in the project computer, files:

RONVYINP. Geometry and material properties VYRONTR4N9-T.INP, VYRONTRAN9-S.INP: Thermal and stress analysis for the worst case transient for the safe end An interactive review of the worst case thenral stress results (which are controlling for the safe end) showed the critical location in the model to be at Node 6395. The location of Node 6395 is shown in FileNo.: 0801038.305 Page 5 of 16 Revision: 1 F0306-O1RO

Figure 4. This location was selected since it possessed the highest stress intensity during the worst case thermal transient. This is the same location evaluated in Reference [4].

A critical stress location in the nozzle blend radius will also be analyzed. This location is chosen based upon the highest pressure stress (which is controlling in the nozzle blend radius) in the base metal. An interactive review of the pressure stress intensity results showed the critical location in the nozzle blend radius to be at Node 3829 (Figure 5). This is the same location evaluated in Reference [4].

Figure 6 shows the two critical stress paths that will be used to extract the linearized stresses at the safe end and nozzle blend radius.

4.4 Stress Calculation Linearized stresses from Node 6395 (safe end inside surface) and Node 3829 (nozzle blend radius inside surface of base metal) are used for the fatigue usage analysis, as shown in Figure 6. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used are for the base metal only; since the cladding is of the integrally bonded type and is less than 10% of the total thickness of the section the material is unselected prior to stress extraction, per NB-3 122.3 [2].

The pressure stress intensities for the safe end and blend radius paths were extracted using the ANSYS file VY/RONP.INP. This produced one file, ROPRESSURE.lin, that contains results of the critical stress paths.

Table 1 shows the final pressure stress intensity results for the safe end and blend radius. The results at the blend radius are slightly different from those reported in Table 2 of Reference [4] as a result of the revised material properties (i.e., temperature dependent material properties were used in the current evaluation vs. constant material properties in Reference [4]).

Results were also extracted from the vessel portion of the model to verify the accuracy of the results obtained from the ANSYS model, and to check the results due to the use of the 2.0 multiplier on the vessel radius. These results are contained in the file RO PRESSURE.lin. The radius of the finite element model (FEM) was multiplied by a factor of 2.0 [4] to account for the fact that the vessel portion of the axisymmetric model is a sphere, but the true geometry is the intersection of two cylinders.

The equation for the membrane hoop stress in a thin wall sphere is:

0 (pressure)x (radius))

S 2 x th~ickes Considering an actual vessel base metal radius, R, of 105.906 inches increased by a factor of 2.0, a vessel base metal thickness, t, of 5.4375 inches, and an applied pressure, P, of 1,000 psi, the calculated stress for a thin wall sphere is PR/(2t) = 19,477 psi. This compares very well with the remote vessel wall membrane hoop stress from the ANSYS result file, ROPRESSURE.lin, of FileNo.: 0801038.305 Page 6 of 16 Revision: 1 F0306-O1 RO

18,070 psi. Thus, considering the peak total pressure stress of 31,270 psi, the stress concentrating effect of the nozzle blend radius is 31,270/19,477 = 1.61. In other words, the peak nozzle blend radius stress is 1.61 times higher than nominal vessel wall stress for the axisyimnetric model.

The equation for the membrane hoop stress in a thin wall cylinder is:

(radius)

((pressure)x k thickness j" Based on the previous dimensions, the calculated stress for a cylinder without the 2.0 factor is 19,477 psi. Increasing this by a factor of 1.61 yields an expected peak nozzle blend radius stress of 31,358 psi, which would be expected from a cylindrical geometry that is representative of the nozzle configuration. Therefore, the result from the ANSYS file for the peak nozzle blend radius stress (31,270 psi) is close to the peak nozzle blend radius stress for a cylindrical geometry because of the use of the 2.0 multiplier. This is consistent with SI's experience where a factor of two increase in radius is typical for representing the 3-D effect in an axisymmetric model.

4.5 Piping Loads The piping loads were taken from Table 4 of Reference [3]. To determine the piping load stresses, the distances from the applied piping loads to the limiting stress locations were first determined. The limiting stress path locations from Section 4.3 are in the same locations assumed in Table 4 of Reference [3]; this means that no reconciliation of the lengths in Table 4 of Reference [3] is needed.

Reference [3, Section 4.1 ] methodology was used to calculate the piping load stresses. The piping loads and piping load stresses are found in Table 4 and Table 5 of Reference [3].

5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS A thennal transient analysis for each defined transient, as well as unit pressure stress and piping interface load analyses were performed for the RO nozzle at Vermont Yankee. All six components of the stress tensor were extracted from the ANSYS model at the two limiting path locations, which are the same two locations previously evaluated [4]. Table 2 provides the unit (1,000 psig) pressure stress analysis results. The unit pressure load results are used to choose the location to analyze at the

  • nozzle blend radius and will be scaled up or down based on applied pressures in the fatigue analysis.

Table 5 of Reference [3] provides the piping stresses at the two critical locations. Table 3 shows an example of thermal stress results. The remaining thermal stress results are contained in the ANSYS output files, listed below, which are saved in the project computer files:

The results of this calculation are to be used in SI Calculation No. 081038.306, "Fatigue Analysis of Recirculation Outlet Nozzle."

1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this calculation package is to perform an ASME Code,Section III fatigue usage evaluation and a plant-specific evaluation of reactor water environmental effects for the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) recirculation outlet (RO) nozzle at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.

1.1 Changes Made in Revision 1 of this Calculation Description of changes made in Revision I of this calculation:

a. Editorial changes were made to Table 1 to more precisely describe the transient load sets.
b. All but one of the changes made to Table 2 were editorial to more precisely describe the portions of the transients. The one non-editorial change was to move a time split in Transient 9 to better catch a stress peak or stress valley.
c. Table 3 and the corresponding VESLFAT input file were revised to reflect actual material properties for the safe end. Revision 0 of this calculation tabulated SA-1 82 F304 (18Cr -8Ni) properties, but actually used properties for an Alloy 600 material.
d. Table 5 was changed to eliminate the application ofKt = 1.53 to the nozzle corner piping loads.
e. Tables 6, 7, and 8 were revised to reflect the new fatigue usage and environmental assisted fatigue summaries as a result of the changes associated with Bullets b and c above.
f. Table 8 was revised for editorial changes.
g. The results of various sensitivity studies on fatigue usage were added to Section 5.0.
h. Revision of CUF values in Sections 5.0 and 6.0 to reflect revised analyses.

2.0 METHODOLOGY The methodology to be used for this evaluation was established in a previous calculation package

[2]. Based on that methodology, thermal stresses, pressure stresses, and attached piping load stresses were developed in the Reference [1 ] calculation for use in this fatigue calculation. The thermal stresses are added to pressure stresses and attached piping load stresses'. Both the pressure and piping load stresses are scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and nozzle fluid temperature during each transient. All six components of the stress tensor from the stress results are used in the fatigue calculation.

Stress components due to piping loads are scaled assuming no stress occurs at an ambient temperature of 70'F and the full values are reached at a reactor design temperature of 575'F [2, Assumption 3.1.7]. In addition, design seismic and deadweight loads are also included and scaled in combination with the thermal loads for each transient. This combination, coupled with assigning the stress due to these loads the same sign as the thermal stress, is considered to be a very conservative treatment of the loads overall in that deadweight and design seismic loads are considered and scaled for every transient.

The fatigue calculation is performed for both the limiting safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, as determined in the Reference [1] calculation, and uses the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3]. An environmental fatigue usage analysis is also performed in this calculation applying the methodology and associated environmental fatigue multipliers described in Reference [6].

3.0 DESIGN INPUTS 3.1 Stress Calculation Linearized stress components at Node 6395 (limiting safe end path at inside surface) and Node 3829 (limiting nozzle blend radius path at inside surface) are used for the fatigue usage calculation, as shown in Figure 6 of Reference [1]. For the nozzle blend radius location, the stresses used in the evaluation are for the base metal only; that is, the cladding material is unselected prior to stress extraction. The stress components from the thermal stress analyses are combined with stress components due to pressure and piping loads. The linearized thermal stress components for each transient are taken from the relevant output files in the Reference [1] calculation (a sample of which was provided in Table 3 of Reference [1]). The unit pressure stress component results are taken from Table 2 of Reference [1]. Piping load stress components are taken from Table 5 of the Reference [2] calculation.

3.2 Fatigue Usage Analysis, General Structural Integrity's VESLFAT program [4] is used to perform the fatigue usage calculation in accordance with the fatigue usage portion of ASME Code,Section III, Subarticle NB-3200 [3].

VESLFAT performs the analysis required by NB-3222.4(e) [3] for Service Levels A and B conditions defined by the user. The VESLFAT program computes the primary-plus-secondary and total stress ranges for all events and performs a correction for elastic-plastic analysis, if necessary.

The program computes the stress intensity range based on the stress component ranges for all event pairs [3, NB-3216.2]. The program evaluates the stress ranges for primary-plus-secondary and primary-plus-secondary-plus-peak stresses based on all six components of stress (3 normal and 3 shear stresses). If the primary-plus-secondary stress intensity range is greater than 3 Sm, the total stress range must be increased by the simplified elastic-plastic strain correction factor, Ke, as described in NB-3228.5 [3]. The design stress intensity, Sm, is specified as a function of temperature. The input maximum temperature for both states of a load set pair is used to establish the S,, value used in the fatigue calculations from the user-defined input values.

When more than one stress set is defined for either of the event pair loadings, the stress differences are determined for all of the potential stress pairs, and the pair producing the largest alternating total stress intensity (Salt), including any effects of Ke, is used. The principal stresses for the stress ranges are determined by solving for the roots of the following cubic equation2:

S3 _ (Tx -+- yY+ O-z)S2 + (C3x Cy -+ C7 a, z + a,-7 - ,y2 _ Sxz2 _ Syz2)s 2Note that cy., ay, az, etc. are used synonymously with Sx, S,, S,, etc., in this calculation.

- (Cy"Gy a, + 2 rxy Tz "*yz - CTz Ty2 _ *y , 2 _ Cx TyZ2 o The stress intensities for the event pairs are reordered in decreasing order of Sait, including a correction for the ratio of modulus of elasticity (E) from the fatigue curve divided by E from the material evaluated at the maximum event temperature. This allows a fatigue table to be created to eliminate the number of cycles available for each of the transient events. This fatigue table is based on a worst-case progressive pairing of events in order of the most severe alternating stress to the least severe, allowing determination of a bounding fatigue usage per NB-3222.4(e) [3]. For each load set pair in the fatigue table, the allowable number of cycles is determined based on Salt.

3.3 Event Cycles, VESLFAT For the Vermont Yankee RO nozzle analysis, transients that consist of combined stress peaks or valleys are split so that each successive peak or valley is treated separately. Therefore, there are 61 load sets based on the combined stress changes for the safe end, and 46 load sets based on the combined stress changes for the nozzle blend radius location. The reason the number of load sets are not equal for each path is because the time history stress results of those paths differ. Tables 1 and 2 show the load sets applicable to plant operation, with cycle counts per Table I of Reference [2].

These are used as input to VESLFAT for the safe end and nozzle blend radius locations, respectively. The cycle counts of Reference [2, 7] consider 60 years of operation. The data from Table 1 is entered into the VESLFAT input files VY-RO-VFAT-1i.CYC (safe end) and the data from Table 2 is entered into the file VY-RO- VFAT-21. CYC (nozzle blend radius).

3.4 Material Properties, VESLFAT Material properties are entered in VESLFAT input files VY-RO-VFAT-]I.FDT (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2I.FDT (nozzle blend radius). Table 3 lists the temperature-dependent material properties used in the analysis [5]. Table 4 lists the fatigue curve for the nozzle blend radius and safe end materials

[3, Appendix I, Table 1-9.1 and Figure 1-9.1 (UTS < 80.0 ksi) for the nozzle blend radius, and Tables 1-9.1 and 1-9.2.2 (Curve C) and Figures 1-9.2.1 and 1-9.2.2 for the safe end location]. Curve C is selected for the safe end location because it is the most conservative curve among the three extended curves for austenitic steel. VESLFAT automatically scales the stresses by the ratio of E on the fatigue curve to E in the analysis, for the purposes of determining allowable numbers of cycles, as required by the ASME Code.

Other material properties are input as follows:

m = 1.7, n = 0.3, parameters used to calculate Ke for the safe end location [3, Table NB-3228.5(b)-1]

m = 2.0, n = 0.2, parameters used to calculate Ke for the nozzle blend radius location [3, Table NB-3228.5(b)-1]

E from fatigue curve = 28,300 ksi [3, Appendix 1, Figure 1-9.2] for the safe end location.

E from fatigue curve = 30,000 ksi [3, Appendix I, Figure 1-9.1] for the nozzle blend radius location.

3.5 Stress Indices The limiting stress path for the RO nozzle safe end is defined in Reference [1]. The stresses caused by the piping were hand calculated and do require a stress concentration factor, if appropriate. The stress concentration factor for the safe end location is 1.53 [2, Section 3.8]. This value is conservatively used for both the C2 and K2 values required by the ASME Code [3, NB-3600]. The piping loads are relatively minor in comparison to the other loads this nozzle experiences so the conservative C2 and K2 values will have a small impact on the analysis. Table 5 shows the piping loads after applying the C2 and K2 values as appropriate.

4.0 CALCULATIONS Table 5 contains the stress components at the locations of interest for the 1,000 psi unit pressure stress case [1, Table 2]. Table 5 also contains the stress components for the attached piping load unit stress case [2, Table 5], which correspond to a reactor design temperature of 575°F [2, Section 3.1.7].

The attached piping load stress components were applied assuming the same signs as the thermal stress, which yields the largest stress component ranges.

The calculations of all of the VESLFAT stress inputs are automated in Excel workbooks VY-RO-VFAT-li.xls (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2i.xls (nozzle blend radius). These files are organized with sheets labeled as follows:

  • Overview: Contains general information.
  • Other Stresses: Contains pressure and attached piping load stresses. As shown in Table 5, the pressure stresses use the membrane-plus-bending and total stress from the finite element analysis [1].
  • Rearranger: There are 12 Rearranger sheets, one for each thermal transient as analyzed by ANSYS. In these sheets, thermal stresses are copied from Excel workbook VY-RO-StressResults.xls, and rearranged to conform to VESLFAT input format (including switching the shear stress components Sx, and Sy, as required by VESLFAT). VY-RO-StressResults.xls contains the results of the ANSYS stress linearization for each transient. The files contained within this workbook are shown in Table 9. Time-varying scale factors for the attached piping loads (based on path metal temperature) and pressure are determined, and used to scale the unit load case stresses, which are then added to the thermal stresses. Since the attached piping loads can act in any direction, the stresses due to the attached piping loads are assigned the same sign as the thermal stresses to maximize the component stresses.

Algebraic summation of all six stress components is performed for pressure, piping loads, and thermal stresses at each transient time step. The VESLFAT stress input also includes time-varying metal temperature, as obtained from the ANSYS output, which is used to determine temperature-dependent properties from the values in Table 3.

  • VESLFAT: Contains the VESLFAT stress input, as obtained from the Rearranger sheets.

Load set numbers are entered on this sheet, as defined in Table 1 and Table 2. These sheets are saved to VESLFAT input files VY-RO-VFAT-li.STR (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2i.STR (nozzle blend radius).

5.0 RESULTS OF ANALYSIS Table 6 and Table 7 provide the detailed calculated 60-year fatigue usage, as obtained from VESLFAT output files VY-RO-VFAT-11.FAT (safe end) and VY-RO-VFAT-2LFAT (nozzle blend radius). All VESLFAT input and output files are saved in the project computer files associated with this calculation.

From Table 6, the safe end cumulative usage factor (CUF) is 0.00308 for 60 years. From Table 7, the nozzle blend radius CUF is 0.0 175 for 60 years.

From Table 1 of Reference [6], it was determined that hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) is available for 47% of the total 60-year operating period, and normal water chemistry (NWC) is present for the remaining 53% of the total 60-year operating period. From Table 1 of Reference [6], the dissolved oxygen values for the recirculation line (which is applicable to the RO nozzle) are 48 ppb for HWC conditions and 122 ppb for NWC conditions.

For the stainless steel piping, the environmental fatigue factors for post-HWC and pre-HWC are 15.35 and 8.36 from Table 2 of Reference [6]. The overall environmental multiplier is found by (15.35 x 47% + 8.36 x 53%), which equals 11.645, conservatively rounded upto 11.7. Therefore, the overall environmental multiplier is 11.7, which results in an EAF adjusted CUF of 11.7 x 0.00308 0.0360 for 60 years, which is acceptable (i.e., less than the allowable value of 1.0).

Based on the detailed CUF calculation shown in Table 7, a detailed EAF adjusted CUF evaluation on a load-pair basis is provided for the nozzle blend radius location in Table 8. The EAF usage from Table 8 is 0.111 for 60 years, which is less than the allowable value of 1.0 and is therefore acceptable. The effective overall Fen is 0.111/0.0175 = 6.32.

As a part of fatigue analysis calculations, it was noted that using Fy = -20 kips in the piping loads caused a slightly higher total stress intensity. However, the change was determined to have an insignificant effect on fatigue usage results. In addition, the effect of modeling the distinct material properties of both Type F304 and Type F316 in the ANSYS analysis (as opposed to using 18Cr-8Ni properties) was determined to have an insignificant effect on fatigue usage results. Finally, the effect of applying a minimum temperature of 130'F for thermal boundary Region 2 (see Figure 1 of Reference [2]) was determined to have an insignificant effect on fatigue usage results. These investigations and associated results are contained in the project files.

6.0 CONCLUSION

S AND DISCUSSIONS Detailed fatigue calculations for the Vermont Yankee RO nozzle were performed based on the results of stress analyses previously performed [1]. The thermal stresses were combined with stresses due to pressure and attached piping loads, both of which were scaled based on the magnitudes of the pressure and metal temperature during each thermal transient. All six components of the stress tensor were used for the fatigue calculations. The fatigue calculations were performed at previously-determined limiting locations in the safe end and nozzle blend radius, and used the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section III of the ASME Code [3].

The 60-year CUT for the safe end location was'determined to be 0.00308 and the CUF for the nozzle blend radius location was determined to be 0.0175. Both values are less than the ASME Code allowable value of 1.0, and are therefore acceptable.

Detailed EAF assessments were also performed for the two RO nozzle locations. The 60-year EAF CUF for the safe end location was determined to be 0.0360. The 60-year EAF CUF for the nozzle blend radius location was determined to be 0.111 using temperature-dependent Fen multipliers for each load pair. Both values are less than the ASME Code allowable value of 1.0, and are therefore acceptable.

Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station), Docket No. 50-271-LR, ASLBP No. No. 06-849-03-LR (Part 1 of 3)

Attachments: Letter to ASLB enclosing revised calculations .pdf In accordance with the provisions of the Board's Partial Initial Decision (Ruling on Contentions 2A, 2B, 3, and 4), LBP-08-25, 68 N.R.C. _ (Nov. 24, 2008), slip op. at 67,.and the Board's Order (Clarifying Deadline for Filing New or Amended Contentions) (Mar. 9, 2009), Entergy has revised and issued its final calculations of record for the confirmatory environmentally assisted fatigue (CUFen) analyses on the reactor pressure vessel core spray (CS) and recirculation outlet (RO) nozzles at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. These revised analyses are presented in the following Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SIA) calculations: Calculation No.

0801038.302, Revision 1, "Stress Analysis of Reactor Core Spray Nozzle;" Calculation No. 0801038.303, Revision 1, "Fatigue Analysis of Reactor Core Spray Nozzle;"

Calculation No. 0801038.304, Revision 1, "Design Inputs and Methodology for ASME Code Fatigue Usage Analysis of Reactor Recirculation Outlet Nozzle;" Calculation No.

0801038.305, Revision 1, "Stress Analysis of Reactor Recirculation Outlet Nozzle;" and Calculation No. 0801038.306, Revision 1, "Fatigue Analysis of Reactor Recirculation Outlet Nozzle." Calculation 0801038.301, Revision 0, "Design Inputs and Methodology for ASME Code Fatigue Usage Analysis of Reactor Core Spray Nozzle" has not been revised so that the version sent to the parties on January 8, 2009 remains the final calculation of record. Entergy is serving at this time electronic copies of those analyses on the parties to the above captioned proceeding.

The methodology applied in the referenced CS and RO confirmatory analyses is in accordance with the approach-used in the SIA calculations for the feedwater nozzle that were introduced into evidence in this proceeding, and contains no significantly different scientific or technical judgments from those used in the feedwater nozzle calculations. See Calculation 0801038.301 at 4, n.1 and Calculation 0801038.304 at 4, n.1.

As set forth in the referenced revised calculations, the limiting calculated CUFenS for the CS and RO nozzles are less than unity and are therefore acceptable.

Hard copies are also being sent today by overnight mail to the NRC Staff, the New England Coalition and the Vermont Department of Public Service.
