Description

This paper documents the calculated loads and stresses of various components of the fuelling machine pressure boundary, pressure tube and fixed-end positioning-assembly stud due to reverse flow bundle impact if an inlet feeder break is postulated to occur during flow defuelling. The information was required to support pressure tube inspection during outage for Darlington NGS. The results indicate that the integrity of the pressure boundary is maintained under the postulated scenario. (author)
