Nitzel, M. E.

A new support configuration for the one-inch Schedule 80 main steam vent line has been developed at the request of the LOFT Plant Systems Branch. This configuration will adequately support valves CV-P4-58 and CV-P4-59 without requiring supports at the centers of gravity of these valves as previously recommended. Dead weight, thermal expansion, seismic, LOCE and LOCA loading conditions were considered. Results indicate that the main steam vent piping will meet criteria specified in the ASME Code provided the recommendations, as listed in the report, are followed.
