This review covers the installation clearance of MCHP-1 passing over VVSA1

• Reviewed clamp envelop-to-VV clearance assuming a 7/8” vessel services offset (slide 3 - 5)

• Evaluated the clearance of metrology measured MCHP-1 clamp data moving over VV looking at the closest set of clamp points (slides 6 – 11)

• Made a visual inspection of the region where the clamp distance is minimum (slide 12)

• Reviewed VVSA1 as-built data (slides 12 -14)• Reviewed the assembly clearance of the second set of metrology measured

clamp points and found them to be less restrictive.• A preliminary investigation of the VVSA1 / MCHP-1 port clearances has been

made (slides 14 – 18)

Summary:A .51 to 0.56” minimum assembly clearance occurs at Step 4 in the assembly path (based on disassembly steps). The minimum clearances occur at two locations along the Type-B MC. One area is near the midsection and one near the crest of the vessel (see slides 5 and 14).

VVSA1 metrology measured surface points added to VV

1.38”

The Type-B MC winding form comes within 1.38” to the CAD

defined VV surface.

Minimum clearance encountered during assembly

There are no out-of tolerance points in the tightest region. Local measurement were made to confirm that all added surface components did not extend more than 1” off the surface. The maximum VV surface component offset found is 7/8”

5

VV / MCHP clearances

0.509” minimum clearance to a 7/8” offset of surface components

Step 0 defines the final assembled position on this graph

7/8” limit of surface components above vessel surface.

In general there is 2” assembly space above the VV CAD surface. With ≤ 1” surface components, leaves a min. 1” assembly gap.

Final clearance is 0.74”

(1.62-7/8” VV services)

Clearance of A/B/C envelope plus clamp data to a 7/8” VV offset surface

.241”

Calculated clearances between all of the MC clamp envelops and clamp metrology data to a 7/8” offset of the VV surface with a minimum distance found at metrology clamp data at the type-B MC.

0.241”

MCHP-1 (left side) MC clamp metrology data shown over the VVSA1 VV.

The above figures shows Verisurf metrology points of the MC clamps that were measured along with spheres placed at the closest distances to the VV surface.

8

Closest distance VV-to-probe surfaces is 0.785”; 15 mm Ø probe (0.59”)

Minimum distance of VV services to clamp = 0.785 + .59 -7/8 = 0.50” in its final position.

Clamp distance is measured from a 7/8" offset of the CAD VV surface. The vessel as-built information also needs to be factored into the clearance calculations.

All measured points in this area are negative, located inside the vessel surface

Although the MTM and PPPL points are slightly different the size the offset is about the same (see

next few slides)

The minimum expected clearance in this area then should be 0.56” [.241 + .25 + (7/8 - .8) = .56 ]
