High pressure relief valve quenching. Supplement 1 (open access)

High pressure relief valve quenching. Supplement 1

In response to additional needs developed during a review of the LOFT Technical Specifications, two more pressure reduction and decontamination sump volume vs. initial temperature data points were calculated in order to adequately quench steam generator relief blowdown. The two additional points chosen were for 10,000 gallons (based on ECC requirements) and for 120/sup 0/F (NPSH limit maximum temperature). The results are that for 10,000 gallons in the sump the maximum initial temperature is 110/sup 0/F and for 120/sup 0/F initial temperature, a volume of 14,000 gallons is required in the sump. Calculations are shown on page two of this report. The maximum final PR and DS temperature was set at 140/sup 0/F to preclude the vibrational effects discussed in LTR 115-9 and its referenced operational experience reports.
