1.0 ABSTRACT
This Task I Final Report of Design Studies of Steam Generators
for Molten Salt Reactors presents the work done by Foster Wheeler
in accordance with Task I of the Work Plan Detail by Foster
Wheeler for Design Studies of Steam Generators for Molten Salt
Reactors under Purchase Order Subcontract No. 91X-88070C during
the period October 1971 through December 197Lh. The effort was
conducted under two different Foster Wheeler contract numbers
due to a termination for the convenience of the government on
January 31, 1973. FWC Contract No. 2-25-1352 covered the work
performed from October 7, 1971 through January 31, 1973. FWC
Contract No. 8-25-2,31 covered the work performed from May 17,
1974 through December 31, 197L4.
The Foster Wheeler design concept presented in this report is
an "L" shaped tube and shell heat exchanger to be used in a
steam generator system consisting of four wnits for a 1000
MW(e) Molten Salt Breader Reactor power plant.
The design utilizes an all welded construction with 100% radio-
graphy of all pressure boundry welds. The pressure shell is
designed to minimize the annulus between itself and the tube
bundle. Where the shell must be of a larger diameter a flow
shroud is used to maintain the flow over the bundle. Suitable
water, steam and molten salt inlet and outlet nozzles are
provided. The mechanical design provisions for the steam
generator are covered in Section 3.0.
The design work is supported by thermal/hydraulic and structural
analysis as reported herein. The thermal/hydraulic analysis
described in Section L.0 demonstrates that the present unit size
is sufficient for the intended service with minimal possibility
of the molten salt solidifying on the cold end tubesheet or tubes.
Structural analysis of the proposed design has been conducted
and is reported in Section 5.0. An elastic analysis on major
components was conducted. Also, simplified inelastic analysis
was conducted on the salt inlet nozzle, the outlet tubesheet,
the shell and the tubes. Based upon the stress analysis con-
ducted, the design is satisfactory.
Outline versions of a possible manufacturing and inspection plan
and maintenance procedures were prepared and may be found in
Section 7.0. '
References are provided as applicable and supporting calculations
are provided in the Appendices.

2.0 INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPT ARRANGEMENT STUDY
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This Task I Final Report presents the work done by Foster Wheeler
during the period from October 7, 1971 to December 31, 197L on
Design Studies of Steam Generators for Molten Salt Reactors.
This work was performed in two segments due to a termination for
the convenience of the govermment on January 31, 1973. The

2.2 CONCEPT ARRANGEMENT STUDY
A concept arrangement study was performed to arrive at a design
concept that offered the most promise. The starting point for
this study was to establish the design requirements and criteria
through consulting with Union Carbide and then to evaluate posi-
ble surface arrangements that might meet these requirements and
criteria. For clarity and completeness,the design requirements
and criteria established for Task I are presented below.
DESTGN REQUIREMENTS AND CRITERIA
1. The inlet and outlet salt temperatures, the maximum pressure
drops, and the total heat transfer capacity of the steam genera-
tors must conform with the overall system operating conditions.
a) Full load operating conditions (one of four coolant salt
loops - thermal duty = L83 MW):
Coolant Salt Water/Steam
Inlet temperature, F 1150 700
Outlet temperature, F 850 1000
Flow rate, Lb/hr 15,280,000 2,517,000
Inlet pressure, psia 235 3800
Outlet pressure, psia 175 3600
Maximum pressure drop, psi 60 200
The design temperatures and pressures are left to the discretion
of the designer.
More than one module per coolant salt loop is permissable. If
modules are used in parallel, they will share the coolant salt
loop duty and flows equally. The maximum water/steam side
pressure drop of 200 psi may be relaxed if found to be unneceg-
sarily restrictive.
b) Part load operating range at constant steam generator outlet
pressure is defined as any condition between 20 and 100% of full
load thermal duty. In this load range the coolant salt flow will
be varied linearly from 30% flow at 20% load to 100% flow at 100%
load. The feedwater inlet temperature will be maintained cor-
stant at 700 F over this load range while the water/steam flow
will be varied in proportion to load. The turbine inlet steam
temperature must be maintained at 1000 F + 15 over this load range.
If an attemperator is required to maintain the turbine inlet
temperature, then the attemperator design becomes a part of the
steam generator design.

c) Startup operation of the MSER power system is defined as
zero to 20% of full load. However, the primary fuel salt
requires that initial zero power operation must begin with both
the fuel and coolant salt systems circulating isothermally at
1050 F.
d) The steam generator must be able to operate at all loads with
tolerable thermal stresses and without freezing the coolant salt.
Alternately, operation with a frozen salt film may be permissible
if desirable and if operation can be shown to be stable,
2. The type of steam generator, the general location of nozzles,
the height of the unit, and the minimum tube diameter must be
compatible with various design, layout, fabrication, maintenance
and inspection considerations.
a) The steam generator shall be a once-through, shell and tube
heat exchanger with the coolant salt on the shell side and the
water/steam in the tubes.
b) For purposes of the steam generator design, the coolant salt
system is assumed to have forced circulation during all expected
operation. Natural circulation on the shell side, although a
desirable feature, is not a design requirement. The tube side
may have forced or natural circulation under decay heat removal
conditions.
c) There is no height limit on the steam generator.
d) As a guideline, a minimum tube ID of not less than 0.375
inches shall be used.
e) There are no physical layout limitations.
f) The shell side of the steam generator shall be completely
drainable. ,
g) A tube plugging allowance of 5% but not exceeding 25 tubes
shall be used for preliminary sizing purposes.
h) Heat transfer surface may be arranged for vertically up
or down tube side flow.
3. The steam generator should be arranged for relatively easy
tube bundle replacement or modular replacement. Both seal-welded
flanges and cut and weld removal techniques shall be considered
for easy tube bundle replacement.

L. The space requirements for the installation of the steam
generator should be as small as Practical commensurate with
economic considerations., It will be necessary to have some 3
data for incremental building and excavation costs, | f
5. The volumes of both the salt and water/steam in the unit should
be kept as low as practical.
6. The use of cover gases to protect structural members should
be avoided.
7. The following items shall be considered and accomodated in
the design of the steam generator:
a. Baffle and tube supports, as necessary, to prevent
damaging vibration.
b. Relative expansion between the shell and tube bundle and
between individual tubes.
c. Tube side flow stability under all load conditions.
d. Protection of nozzles and tubesheets against excessive
thermal stress due to transients.
e. Fabricability of the design including the ability to
radiograph all containment welds.
f. Relief of the salt-steam mixture resulting from a double~
ended steam generator tube failure to limit damage to the
steam generator. The remainder of the coolant salt system
can withstand a contimuous pressure of 220 psi without
damage. '
8. The steam generator shall be designed as a Class 1 vessel in
accordance with the applicable portions of Section ITT of the
1971 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code with addenda and
the other design standards listed in the corrected Appendixes
A and D of the Company's RFP, Enclosure 2. The design shall
include the Code consideration for operation in excess of 800
F over a 30 year design life at 80% plant factor.
9. The design of all portions of the steam generator in contact with
the salt shall be based on Hastelloy N material. The physical {
Properties of this Hastelloy N are listed in the corrected Appendix
C of the Comapny's RFP, Enclosure 2,
10, The steam properties on which the steam generator design is
based shall be obtained from the 1967 ASME Steam Tables.

11. The steam generator design shall be based on sodium fluoroborate
as the coolant salt. The physical properties of sodium fluoro-
borate are listed in the corrected Appendix B of the Company's
RFP, Enclosure 2. The substitution of a different salt with
a higher temperature melting point may be the subject of a
later study, :
12. A corrosion allowance of % mill/year on the salt side and
7 mill /year on the steam side shall be used in gelecting
material thickness.
13. It will be permissible to divide the steam generator into two
subunits in series if the design study indicates an advantage.
1L. The design of the steam generator shall be based on a 30 year o
Plant life with the steam generator experiencing 10,000 cycles
of 20% or more in power over its life., Normally the load will
be changed at a maximum rate of l%/min. The details of number
or reactor scrams etc. and the resulting temperature Tramps
will be made available.
As an additional requirement not bresented sbove, it was felt that
the use of bellows in the shell of the steam generator to accomodate
differential thermal expansions was to be avoided.
Within the restrictions set forth above, a large number of surface
arrangements were possible. Therefore, a second set of seven basic
design areas were setup. These seven areas are, in order of importance:
l. Adequate thermal expansion provision - does thig design have |
sufficient tube flexibility to allow for large temperature
difference between tubes and shell or between adjacent tubes?
2. Stratification Problems - are there posgible areas within the
unit where predicting flow will be difficult?
3. Good Utilization of Volume - does the design allow for all the
tubing to be used as active heat transfer surface?
i. Better Mechanical Arrangement - do the mechanical details appear
to be difficult?
5. Equal Active Circuit Length - will the tubes have approximately
equal heated lengths?
6. Tube Side Inspection - can the tubes be easily nondistructively
examined after the unit has been in service?

1. Relative Complexity - do the uncertainties of the design appear
to lend themselves to straight forward solutions?
Page 2-7 shows the various possible surface arrangement candidates
and how they evaluated against the seven basic design areas. On
the chart,no line indicates that the candidate did not affirmatively
bass that design area., A solid line indicates that the candidate does
bass that design area. A dash line indicates that the candidate may
be able to pass that design area with difficulty. When a candidate
did not pass a basic design area (no line), it was dropped from
further consideration.
The above describe evaluation reduced the possible number of candidates
to 7. These seven candidates and some of their more difficult detailed
problems are given in on Page 2-8. As Page 2-8 shows the principle
problems relate to the fabrication of the U-bend or Elbow shell.
Pages 2-9 through 2-12 further outline the fabrication problems of
the U~bend shell and the e¢lbow shell,
As can be seen from the foregoing discussion it became apparent that
an elbow unit showed the most promise in meeting the design require-
ments and criteria with the least amount of problems. Thus the
elbow unit was selected as the reference design.

U-BEND SHELL FABRICATION
- Long shells are longitudinally split members.
- Long seam welding performed in situ,
- Weld distortion will cause the shells to go out of round.
. Subsequent Teé-preparation of circle seam welds requires
Special development.
+ Clam shell members for the U-bend will be positioned and
the long seam welded in situ. Circle Seam welds will require
re-~-preparation using similar special equipment.
- Final closure at each tubesheet will be done by the addition
of transition pieces which are custom machined and include
hand holes for completion of NDT procedures and repair if
necessary.
- These problems are somewhat simplified when a small shell
diameter are considered.

ELBOW SHELL FABRICATION
1. The fabrication process utilizes shell sections without
recourse to clam shells, thereby avoiding the problems
of making and inspecting long seam welds in situ.
2. The problems associated with suppofting the tubes in the
bend area is not considered any more difficult than in the
case of the U-bend shell.
3. The installation of the tube bundle will require threading
of the tubes through the shell after the supports have been
installed.
