Interim Storage Partners LLC's Consolidated Interim Spent Fuel Storage Facility; Correction, 46525 [2018-19928]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 178 / Thursday, September 13, 2018 / Notices daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES conducted a joint research program on weld residual stress (WRS) modeling under a memorandum of understanding. This research program consisted of several modeling and measurement studies on prototypic mockups to represent the residual stress state in safety-related nuclear components susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking, see NUREG–2162 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14087A118). Since then, the NRC has made use of the data gained in that research program to formulate a potential validation scheme for finite element modeling of WRS. The NRC’s proposal is documented in a draft NUREG entitled, ‘‘Weld Residual Stress Finite Element Analysis Validation: Part II–Proposed Validation Procedure’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML18242A007). The NRC is requesting public comment on this document. Specifically, the NRC would like feedback on four specific technical issues related to the proposed validation procedure: 1. The NRC recommended the use of the average hardening approach in the current version of the draft NUREG (‘‘average hardening’’ meaning the arithmetic mean of isotropic and nonlinear kinematic results). Given the discussion in Section 5.2, please comment on the advantages and disadvantages of using either the averaging approach or isotropic hardening. What initial and recurring costs are foreseen in implementing either approach in future analyses? 2. The NRC introduced four options for benchmark in Section 5.4.2. The NRC chose to develop the validation scheme with a benchmark based upon the modeling results, rather than the measurements. Please comment on the NRC’s proposal and whether the justification is adequate. 3. Please comment on the proposed quality metrics introduced in Section 5.4.7. Are these metrics appropriate for their intended purpose? Has the NRC presented an appropriate technical justification (see Sections 5.4.8 and 5.4.10) for the proposed metrics? 4. Please comment on the feasibility of the proposed validation scheme. What initial (e.g., software and guidance development) and recurring (i.e., costs for each analysis) costs are foreseen for implementing the validation scheme? Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of September, 2018. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
