Basic Principles (1) The safety standards of the Nuclear Safety Standards Commission (KTA) are intended to specify safety requirements which shall be met regarding precautions to be taken in accordance with the state of science and technology against hazards arising from the erection and operation of nuclear plants (Section 7, paragraph 2, No. 3 Atomic Energy Act), in order to attain the protective goals specified in the Atomic Energy Act and in the Radiological Protection Ordinance. For nuclear power plants these protective goals have been specified in a more detailed manner in the Safety Criteria for Nuclear Power plants published by the Ministry of the Environment. (2) Criterion 1.1 Principal Safety Precautions of these safety criteria requires, among other things, a comprehensive quality assurance during the construction and erection, and criterion 2.1 Quality Assurance requires the establishment and utilization of construction, test and inspection instructions as well as the documentation of the quality control. KTA safety standard 3205.2 is intended to specify detailed measures for the fulfillment of the aforementioned requirements within its scope. To this end, a number of individual rules covering the conventional technologies, especially DIN standards, are to be applied additionally. (3) Component support structures have the function to safely transfer loads from the supported parts and components to the loadabsorbing plant parts. (4) This safety standard covers component support structures with non-integral connections for pressure and activity-retaining components outside the primary circuit. Components with non-integral connections for primary circuit components (scope in accordance with KTA 3201) are covered by KTA 3205.1. KTA 3205.3 covers standard supports that have been subjected to a qualification test. Component support structures with integral connections for systems outside the primary circuit are covered by KTA 3211.2 and KTA 3211.3. 1 Scope

rules shall be laid down if the S2 specifications are not taken over. (5) For standard components or parts that have not been subjected to a qualification test, unified stipulations may be fixed by agreement with the authorized inspector. (6) Pipe whip restraints are covered by Annex D of KTA 3205.1. (7) The protective goals and stability proofs for the individual steel construction load cases are defined in Table 1-2.

Definitions
Remarks: (1) The definition of non-integral support structures is contained in KTA 3205.1. (2) Regarding the abbreviations the stipulations of DIN 18800, Part 1 shall apply.

(1)

Final file

This is that part of the documents filed during the service lifetime of the plant or of the documented parts of the plant. (2) Authorized inspector

An expert person or organization to act as inspector due to legal prescriptions (e.g. 20 of the Atomic Energy Act), guidelines, regulations, ordinances, or acting on behalf of the authority granting statutory approval or being responsible for building supervision. (3) Protective or special constructions. Pipe whip restraints Protective or special constructions cover e.g. the steam generation cross-over system, storage facilities for new fuel elements, energyabsorbing elements. Pipe whip restraints are covered by Annex D of KTA 3205.1. (4) Reference yield stress

(1) This safety standard applies to non-integral component support structures of steel construction category 2 for pressure and activity retaining components outside the primary circuit with design temperatures of up to 350 C in nuclear power plants with light-water reactors. The rules apply up to the connection to the anchor plate or other constructions under the responsibility of the building supervision authorities. (2) The assignment of steel construction classes to the components has been laid down in Table 1-1 with the assignment being based on the equivalence of importance regarding safety. Components according to KTA 3211 have principally been assigned to steel construction category S2. Exceptions from this rule are shown in Table 1-1. (3) Standard parts which are loaded or used in another way than described in the annexes covering the qualification test as per KTA 3205.3, require verifications in accordance with this safety standard and if necessary proofs of functional capability in accordance with KTA 3205.3. (4) For structural steel components of steel construction category S3 which are not assigned to steel construction category S1 or S2, the steel construction standards and guidelines, e.g. DIN 18000, Part 1, shall apply. Where these standards or guidelines do not contain clear specifications (e.g. for material certificates or special load cases) addition

The reference yield stress Rv0.2 can be determined from the yield stress or ultimate strength and is a (fictitios) offset yield strength by means of which material-independent information on allowable stresses can be obtained (see Table 5-1). In the following, the yield stresses ReH and Rp0.2 are considered to be equivalent. (5) Interim file

Interim file is that part of quality documentation filed at the manufacturer's works during the duration of component fabrication until delivery of the component and checking of the documents forming part of the final file. The interim file comprises such documents being important for the verification of the fabrication stages but not for the description of the final condition of the plant and its parts. These documents include e.g. a) certificates on test and for inspections in the final condition of the plant or its parts b) records concerning the quality assurance system (6) Earthquake design load classes (EK)

The classification of earthquake design loads shall be in accordance with KTA 2201.1. (7) Earthquake design load class II A (EK II A)

Support structures of earthquake design load class II which may endanger class I plants due to an earthquake and for which stability is required will be classified under earthquake design load class II A in this safety standard.

(2) The assignment of combined loadings to the steel construction load cases (loading levels) shall be made in accordance with Table 4-1 unless deviations are laid down in the design data sheet. 5 5.1 Calculation General stipulations

(1) The substantiation by calculation is based on clause 1.2.1 of DIN 18800, Part 1. The calculation contains data on assumed loadings, verifications required and allowable stresses. (2) By means of the strength calculation the following verifications shall be made for all load cases with simultaneously applied loadings - if applicable: a) General stress analysis (verification of strength) b) Proof of stability (Buckling, safety against overturning, instability) structural stability c) Structural stability (overturning, sliding, lifting) d) Limitation of deformation (data - if required - to be laid down in the design data sheet in dependence of the function) (3) The substantiation by calculation may also be replaced or supplemented by verifications based on testing. (4) A fatigue analysis shall only be made if a stress range (total stresses including peak stress) equivalent to the yield

strength or 0.2 % proof stress and a number of load cycles exceeding 20.000 is obtained.
Note: This stipulation is prerequisite to the use of the materials listed in Table 7-2.

5.3

Allowable stresses

(5) If applicable the individual substantiation by calculation may be substituted by a general analysis. 5.2 Calculation procedures

(1) The reference (offset) yield stress values have been determined in dependence of the material in Table 5-1. For the load cases H, HZ and HS the allowable stresses referred to the reference yield stress in accordance with Tables 5-2 to 5-5 apply for temperatures 80 C and are the same values as in, or supplement the values of, DIN 18800, Part 1. (2) For component temperatures > 80 C the reduction of yield stress values due to temperature shall be taken into account. For the steels St37 and St52 Figure 5-1 applies:
ReHRT = minimum value of upper yield stress at room temperature ReHT

(1) The substantiations by calculation shall generally be made on the basis of the theory of bending and statics of bars (see pertinent clauses 6 and 7 of DIN 18800, Part 1) (2) If the design is proved to be a plane loadbearing structure, e.g. by means of the theory of shells, higher stresses than given in Section 5 may be agreed with the authorized inspector in well justified cases unless the allowable stresses were taken from KTA 3401.2. (3) Dynamic loadings may be covered by equivalent static loads. In this case, however, the limit analysis as per Section 7 shall not be used. (4) Proofs of stability shall be rendered in accordance with the requirements of DIN 4114, Parts 1 and 2 or the DASt guidelines 012 or 013. For the steel construction load categoH ries HS2 and HS3 a safety factor of 0.77 n - but at least 1.15 - shall be adhered to (except for the verification of the omega value). (5) Except for the steel St37 the omega values of the steel St52 shall be taken for the omega values of the materials listed in Table 7-2. The omega values for stainless steels shall be taken from the approval document Z-30.44.1 of the Institute of Building Technology. (6) For the steel construction load category HS1 the safety factors shall be 10 % higher than for steel construction load category HS2 / HS3. The slenderness ratios of pressed parts shall be limited to a value 150. (7) The use of the limit analysis is principally permitted. In load case HS3 however, it shall be preferably used in which case a failure due to instability as per DASt guideline 008 shall be excluded. The following safety factors shall be taken into account: a) n b) n

HS2,HS3

(8) The proof of structural stability shall be made in accordance with DIN 18800, Part 1 and be verified with the safety factors for the steel construction load categories H and HZ to be taken from this standard. In addition, stabilizing loads shall have a safety factor of 1.0, destabilizing loads for load category HS1 a factor of 1.30 and load categories HS2 and HS3 a factor of 1.15. (9) Stresses due to restraint to thermal expansion within component support structures shall not be analyzed if the design requirements of Section 6 are met. Deviating herefrom the necessity of a verification of constraint of the supporting structure transition to the concrete structure shall be checked for temperatures (mean temperature) T 120 C in the support. (10) The stresses (including stress intensities) shall be determined in accordance with DIN 18800, Part 1 unless a more detailed analysis is made.

(3) The temperature dependence of Young's modulus, shear modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion need not be considered. (4) For austenitic bolts the factors for determining the allowable loadings of bolts in quality class 4.6 to DIN ISO 898, Part 1 apply. Alternately, the allowable values may also be determined in accordance with KTA 3205.1. The design strength values shall be taken from Tables 4 and 6 of DIN 267, Part 11. A calculation for full utilization of stresses by friction-type connections is not permitted for stainless steels. (5) The thermal stress range shall be safeguarded as secondary stress against two times the yield stress. A superposition with loadings resulting from external loads is not required.
