Evolution of supporting conditions for some representative feeders of 500 MWe PHWR

Abstract

This report deals with the analysis and qualification of some representative feeders of 500 MWe PHWR. There are 196 different feeder pipe configurations for a total of 748 feeders. Analysing these many configurations is a difficult task. Therefore, the present analysis was aimed at evolving a generalised supporting criteria based on the analysis of some representative feeders. For this purpose, these feeder pipes were classified into 4 groups based on their geometrical configurations. A total of 7 feeders were selected, which broadly represent the feeders of all the 4 groups. Many of these feeders are interconnected by spacers, which make their analysis for earthquake loadings quite complex. The analysis was carried out for various loadings viz., temperature, pressure, dead weight and operating basis earthquake (OBE). The analysis for OBE loading was carried out using response spectrum Method. Based on the analysis of 7 feeders, generic supporting arrangements for feeders of various group have been suggested. The report gives in detail the input data used, mathematical modelling, analysis approach, various supporting criteria evolved, the optimised supporting criteria and the conclusions arrived at. (author). 20 refs., 18 figs., 28 tabs., 1 appendix.
