Summary:

The structural analysis of the PWR Core 1 Seed 1 under prescribed thermal and mechanical loading with the object of predicting the structural reliability of the seed during actual service is described. Static and fatigue tests performed on fusion-welded Zircaloy specimens are described, and the results of these tests are incorporated in the reliability study. The applied stresses in the seed during operation of the reactor are quite low except at the end welds. Here, based upon the test data, a safely factor of about 4 1/2 appears to exist for 6000 cycies of loading. (auth)
