Pool swell and subsequent impact loads are produced as a result of the purging of the air in the drywell into the torus during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Included in this Addendum are the magnitude, duration and time of the initiation of the impact loads on the vent system. Information is presented on a plant unique basis so that the utilities may combine the impact loads with the hydrodynamic pressure loads applicable to the specific plant (Reference 4) in the performance of an evaluation of the torus support system structural capability under the combined loads. This report concludes the documentation of the loads to be used in the Mark I Short Term Program.
