The analysis performed by Todd Shipyards concerning the ability of the LOFT CRDMs to withstand a dry scram is presented. A ''dry scram'' could result in the CRDM components yielding; however, it would probably not render the CRDMs inoperable. It also concluded that a dry scram is highly unlikely based on a typical LOFT depressurization curve and the temperature of the fluid in the upper pressure housing. At the time of scram, the fluid in the upper pressure housing will not flash to steam owing to the pressure-temperature relationship existing during the scram cycle.

A first-order system analysis was used to evaluate various characteristics of /sup 233/U-producing hybrids. A cost model was also developed for the hybrid.

A detailed dynamic analysis of the LOFT reactor core support structures was performed to determine the ability of the flow skirt/core filler and hold-down springs to withstand Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) plus Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) loadings. A double-ended offset shear occurring in 15 msec (5 msec break time + msec for offset to occur) in the intact loop at the reactor vessel nozzle provided the basis for LOCA loads. The flow skirt/core filler and lower core support structure separate from the core barrel approximately 0.068 in. as a result of the hot leg LOCA. This small displacement and the resulting impact loads produce stresses in the springs, core barrel, flow skirt/core filler, and shear pins within allowables as specified in Section III of the ASME Code for faulted conditions.

The bases and procedure for plotting LOFT Technical Specification Figure 3-1, PCS Temperature vs. Pressure is presented. The curves define fracture toughness limits for the carbon steel vessels (Reactor vessel, pressurizer and steam generator) in the primary coolant system (PCS). An allowance is included for the lag between measured fluid temperature and metal temperature of the carbon steel components for the heat up situation. As a result the curves are conservative for the cooldown situation. However, no allowances for expected pressure and temperature instrument errors is included in the curves.
