Thermal ShockDOE-HDBK-1017/2-93THERMAL STRESST HERMAL STRESSThermal stresses arise in materials when they are heated or cooled. Thermalstresses effect the operation of facilities, both because of the large componentssubject to stress and because they are effected by the way in which the plant isoperated.

These stresses can be comprised of tensile stress, which is stress arising fromforces acting in opposite directions tending to pull a material apart, and compressive stress, whichis stress arising from forces acting in opposite directions tending to push a material together.These stresses, cyclic in nature, can lead to fatigue failure of the materials.Thermal shock is caused by nonuniform heating or cooling of a uniform material, or uniformheating of nonuniform materials. Suppose a body is heated and constrained so that it cannotexpand. When the temperature of the material increases, the increased activity of the moleculescauses them to press against the constraining boundaries, thus setting up thermal stresses.Rev. 0Page 1MS-03

THERMAL STRESSDOE-HDBK-1017/2-93Thermal ShockThermal stresses are a major concern inreactor systems due to the magnitude of thestresses involved. With rapid heating (orcooling) of a thick-walled vessel such asthe reactor pressure vessel, one part of thewall may try to expand (or contract) whilethe adjacent section, which has not yet beenexposed to the temperature change, tries torestrain it. Thus, both sections are understress. Figure 1 illustrates what takes place.A vessel is considered to be thick-walled orthin-walled based on comparing thethickness of the vessel wall to the radius ofthe vessel. If the thickness of the vesselwall is less than about 1 percent of thevessel's radius, it is usually considered athin-walled vessel. If the thickness of thevessel wall is more than 5 percent to 10percent of the vessel's radius, it isconsidered a thick-walled vessel. Whethera vessel with wall thickness between 1percent and 5 percent of radius isconsidered thin-walled or thick-walleddepends on the exact design, construction,and application of the vessel.Figure 1 Stress on Reactor Vessel WallWhen cold water enters the vessel, the cold water causes the metal on the inside wall (left sideof Figure 1) to cool before the metal on the outside. When the metal on the inside wall cools,it contracts, while the hot metal on the outside wall is still expanded. This sets up a thermalstress, placing the cold side in tensile stress and the hot side in compressive stress, which cancause cracks in the cold side of the wall. These stresses are illustrated in Figure 2 and Figure 3in the next chapter.The heatup and cooldown of the reactor vessel and the addition of makeup water to the reactorcoolant system can cause significant temperature changes and thereby induce sizable thermalstresses. Slow controlled heating and cooling of the reactor system and controlled makeupwater addition rates are necessary to minimize cyclic thermal stress, thus decreasing thepotential for fatigue failure of reactor system components.Operating procedures are designed to reduce both the magnitude and the frequency of thesestresses. Operational limitations include heatup and cooldown rate limits for components,temperature limits for placing systems in operation, and specific temperatures for specificpressures for system operations. These limitations permit material structures to changetemperature at a more even rate, minimizing thermal stresses.MS-03Page 4Rev. 0

PRESSURIZED THERMAL SHOCKDOE-HDBK-1017/2-93Thermal ShockPRESSURIZED T HERMAL S HOC KPersonnel need to be aware how pressure combined with thermal stress can causefailure of plant materials. This chapter addresses thermal shock (stress) withpressure excursions.EO 1.6DEFINE the term pressurized thermal shock.EO 1.7STATE how the pressure in a closed system effects the severityof therm al shock.EO 1.8LIST the four plant transients that have the greatest potentialfor causing thermal shock.EO 1.9STATE the three locations in a reactor system that are ofprim ary concern for thermal shock.DefinitionOne safety issue that is a long-term problem brought on by the aging of nuclear facilities ispressurized thermal shock (PTS). PTS is the shock experienced by a thick-walled vessel due tothe combined stresses from a rapid temperature and/or pressure change. Nonuniform temperaturedistribution and subsequent differential expansion and contraction are the causes of the stressesinvolved. As the facilities get older in terms of full power operating years, the neutron radiationcauses a change in the ductility of the vessel material, making it more susceptible toembrittlement. Thus, if an older reactor vessel is cooled rapidly at high pressure, the potentialfor failure by cracking increases greatly.Evaluating Effects of PTSChanges from one steady-state temperature or pressure to another are of interest for evaluatingthe effects of PTS on the reactor vessel integrity. This is especially true with the changesinvolved in a rapid cooldown of the reactor system, which causes thermal shock to the reactorvessel. These changes are called transients. Pressure in the reactor system raises the severityof the thermal shock due to the addition of stress from pressure. Transients, which combine highsystem pressure and a severe thermal shock, are potentially more dangerous due to the addedeffect of the tensile stresses on the inside of the reactor vessel wall. In addition, the materialtoughness of the reactor vessel is reduced as the temperature rapidly decreases.MS-03Page 6Rev. 0

Thernal ShockDOE-HDBK-1017/2-93PRESSURIZED THERMAL SHOCKStresses arising from coolant system pressureexerted against the inside vessel wall (whereneutron fluence is greatest) are always tensile innature.Stresses arising from temperaturegradients across the vessel wall can either betensile or compressive. The type of stress is afunction of the wall thickness and reverses fromheatup to cooldown. During system heatup, thevessel outer wall temperature lags the inner walltemperature. The stresses produced by thistemperature gradient and by system pressure willproduce the profile shown in Figure 2.During heatup, it can be seen that while thepressure stresses are always tensile, at the 1/4thickness (1/4 T), the temperature stresses arecompressive. Thus, the stresses at the 1/4 TFigure 2 Heatup Stress Profilelocation tend to cancel during system heatup. Atthe 3/4 T location, however, the stresses fromboth temperature and pressure are tensile and thus, reinforce each other during system heatup.For this reason the 3/4 T location is limiting during system heatup.During system cooldown, the stress profile ofFigure 3 is obtained. During cooldown, the outerwall lags the temperature drop of the inner walland is at a higher temperature. It can be seenthat during cooldown, the stresses at the 3/4 Tlocation are tensile due to system pressure andcompressive due to the temperature gradient.Thus during cooldown, the stresses at the 3/4 Tlocation tend to cancel. At the 1/4 T location,however, the pressure and temperature stressesare both tensile and reinforce each other. Thus,the 1/4 T location is limiting during systemcooldown.Plant temperature transients that have the greatestpotential for causing thermal shock includeexcessive plant heatup and cooldown, plantFigure 3 Cooldown Stress Profilescrams, plant pressure excursions outside ofnormal pressure bands, and loss of coolantaccidents (LOCAs). In pressurized water reactors (PWRs), the two transients that can cause themost severe thermal shock to the reactor pressure vessel are the LOCA with subsequent injectionof emergency core cooling system (ECCS) water and a severe increase in the primary-tosecondary heat transfer.Rev. 0Page 7MS-03
