Attachments: VVSA1 VV end flange clearances.ppt

I have looked at VVSA1 end flanges in a simulation of the MC rotated over the VV and the VV end flange appears to be okay as is (without the 1/4" cutback).  The spacing between the MC and flange comes closest when using an envelope to simulate the clamp geometry. Additional space was found when I measured the distance to a discrete clamp (slides 8 and 14).  This was not an exhaustive study but VVSA1 should be okay.  I plan to also look at VVSA2 and 3 when I get the chance.

I spoke with Mike Cole on the phone a few minutes ago and he agreed to go with my assessment.  Sorin, you're off the hook.

Can you take a look at the assembly of two FPA assemblies and check the
clearance between the vv seal flange and the distance to the coil?

It is hard to imagine that we are close enough that 1/4 inch would make
a difference but we should check. I don't think this would be very hard
to check. 

If you think it will be very time consuming let me know.

Tom,

How hard would it be for you to check the half period assembly over the
vessel? Do you think this would be a problem?

It's ok if it assembles this way. The clearance between MC coil and VV
will be 1/4" less than anticipated, all the way around, if it is not
trimmed.

Mike and Tom,

I had thought that Mike V. had talked to you about this.  Please review
and comment.

Brad and Larry - please do NOT sign until we get MikeC & Tom on board on
this.

Signed but I would think that Cole and Brown need to review this for
interferences.

 

Thanks,
