Regulatory Requirements* 10 CFR 50 Appendix A, GDC 4
- GDC 4 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety ...shall be appropriately protected against dynamic effects, including the effects ofmissiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids, ...
- However, dynamic effects associated with postulated pipe ruptures in nuclearpower units may be excluded from the design basis when analyses reviewed andapproved by the Commission demonstrate that the probability of fluid system pipingrupture is extremely low under conditions consistent with the design basis for thepiping
* Requirements in SRP 3.6.3
- compliance with GDC 4
- high energy ASME Code Class 1 or 2 piping
- individual piping system for LBB approval
- ITAAC in DC application
- ITAAC in COL application

Leak Before Break Guidelines" Potential failure mechanism evaluation
" Design bases loads and as-built piping configuration
" Leakage detection systems and margin on leakage rate
* Material properties: tensile data, fracture toughness,thermal aging
* Analysis steps- identify the computational methods and demonstrate the accuracy
- specify the loads at the least favorable locations
- postulate a through-wall crack
- for a specified leak rate, the leakage crack size is calculated to generate 10 timesthe leak rate. A crack with double the leakage crack size needs to be stable
- for a critical crack, half the crack size should result in a leakage rate that is 10times the detectable leak rate
- crack instability analysis (J/T criteria, limit load analysis)

Leak Detection Time Frame" RG 1.45 specifies a time frame of 1 hour for leakage
detection to ensure that plant operators have timelyinformation about unidentified leakage
" However, leakage detection for LBB purposes does notrequire the same time frame
- A time frame of 3.5 days is acceptable, as stated in AP1 000 FSER(NUREG-1793), because of the safety margins applied andrelatively slow crack growth

Summary* Piping layout calculations were conducted with
- appropriate industry standard (ASME Code, 2007) for pressure sizing,thermal, and seismic loads
- technically acceptable computational methods
- adequate conservatism
- consideration for thermal fatigue, water/steam hammer events,maintenance, and ISI
- active interaction with manufacturers to determine feasibility of pipinglayout
" Piping systems show structural integrity under assessed loads
" Once final seismic loads and service level loading are established,additional design calculations will be performed
" Preliminary LBB evaluations for MS/FW/CVC PZR spray/RPVdegasification piping systems show applicability
