BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 Introduction This Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) for Braidwood Unit 1 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Braidwood Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.6, "Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)".

Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.

The Technical Specifications (TS) addressed in this report are listed below:

LCO 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits; and LCO 3.4.12 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System.

2.0 RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits The PTLR limits for Braidwood Unit 1 were developed using a methodology specified in the Technical Specifications. The methodology listed in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4 (Reference 1) was used with the following exceptions:

a) Elimination of the flange requirements documented in WCAP-16143-P.

b) The initial reference temperatures of the inlet/outlet nozzle forging to shell welds are determined using BAW-2308 in lieu of the ASME NB-2300 requirements.

WCAP-18370-NP, Revision O (Reference 7), provides the basis for the Braidwood Unit 1 PIT curves, along with the best estimate chemical compositions, fluence projections and adjusted reference temperatures used to determine these limits. The "Master Curve" fracture toughness properties from BA W-2308 Revision 1-A Safety Evaluation (SE) and Revision 2-A SE (Reference 2) are used for the inlet/outlet nozzle to upper shell forgings welds. WCAP-16143-P, (Reference 8), documents the technical basis for the elimination of the flange requirements. These exceptions to the methods in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4 have been reviewed and accepted by the NRC in References 9, 10, 11 and 12.

2.1 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits (LCO 3.4.3) 2.1.1 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits defined in WCAP-I8370-NP, Revision O (Reference 7) are:

a. A maximum heatup of I 00°F in any I-hour period,

b. A maximum cooldown of 100°F in any I-hour period, and

c. A maximum temperature change of less than or equal to I 0°F in any I-hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.

BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 2.1.2 The RCS PIT limits for heatup, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figure 2.1 and Table 2.la. The RCS PIT limits for cooldown are shown in Figure 2.2 and Table 2.1 b. These limits are in WCAP-18370-NP, Revision 0 (Reference 7) using the limiting material between Braidwood Units 1 and 2. This approach is conservative. Consistent with the methodology described in Reference 1 and exceptions noted in Section 2.0, the RCS PIT limits for heatup and cooldown shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 are provided without margins for instrument error. These limits were developed using ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI, Appendix G, 1998 Edition through the 2000 Addenda. The criticality limit curve specifies pressure-temperature limits for core operation to provide additional margin during actual power production as specified in 10 CPR 50, Appendix G.

The PIT limits for core operation (except for low power physics testing) are that the reactor vessel must be at a temperature equal to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and at least 40°F higher than the minimum permissible temperature in the corresponding PIT curve for heatup and cooldown.

BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 3.0 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection and Boltup This section provides the Braidwood Unit 1 low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) system pressurizer power operated relief valve (PORV) lift settings, LTOP system arming temperature, and minimum reactor vessel boltup temperature.

3.1 LTOP System Setpoints (LCO 3.4.12)

Two PORVs shall have maximum lift settings in accordance with Figure 3.1 and Table 3.1. These limits are based on Reference 3.

The LTOP setpoints are based on P/T limits which were established in accordance with 10 CPR 50, Appendix G without allowance for instrumentation error and in accordance with the methodology described in Reference 1. The L TOP PORV nominal lift settings shown in Figure 3.1 and Table 3.1 account for appropriate instrument erroL 3.2 LTOP Enable Temperature Braidwood Unit 1 procedures governing the heatup and cool down of the RCS require the arming of the LTOP system for RCS temperature less than 350°F and disarming of LTOP for RCS temperature of 350°F and above.

Note that the last LTOP PORV segment in Table 3.1 extends to 400°F where the pressure setpoint is 2335 psig. This is intended to prohibit PORV lift for an inadvertent LTOP system arming at power.

3.3 Reactor Vessel Boltup Temperature (Non-Technical Specification)

The minimum boltup temperature for the Reactor Vessel Flange shall be~ 60°F. Boltup is a condition in which the Reactor Vessel head is installed with tension applied to any stud, and with the RCS vented to atmosphere.

BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 4.0 Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program The pressure vessel material surveillance program (Reference 5) is in compliance with Appendix H to 10 CFR 50, "Reactor Vessel Radiation Surveillance Program." The material test requirements and the acceptance standard utilize the reference nil-ductility temperature, RT NDT, which is detennined in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III, NB-2331. The empirical relationship between RTNDT and the fracture toughness of the reactor vessel steel is developed in accordance with Appendix G, "Protection Against Non-Ductile Failure," to Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The surveillance capsule removal schedule meets the requirements of ASTM El85-82.

The fourth reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens (Capsule V) have been analyzed to determine changes in material properties. The surveillance capsule testing has been completed for the original operating period. The remaining two capsules, Y and Z, were removed and placed in the spent fuel pool to avoid excessive fluence accumulation should they be needed to support life extension. The removal summary is provided in Table 4.1.

BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 5.0 Supplemental Data Tables The following tables provide supplemental information on reactor vessel material properties and are provided to be consistent with Generic Letter 96-03. Some of the material property values shown were used as inputs to the PIT limits.

Table 5.1 shows the calculation of the surveillance material chemistry factors using surveillance capsule data.

Table 5.2 provides the reactor vessel material properties table.

Table 5.3 provides a summary of the Braidwood Unit I adjusted reference temperature (ART) values at the 1/4T and 3/4T locations for 57 EFPY.

Table 5.4 shows the calculation of ARTs at 57 EFPY for the limiting Braidwood Unit 1 reactor vessel material, i.e. Nozzle Shell Forging 5P-7016. Note that this limiting material for Unit 1 is not the limiting material used in generation of the P-T limit curves.

The limiting material for the P-T limit curves is from Unit 2 as a bounding analysis was performed, which is documented in WCAP-18370-NP (Reference 7).

Table 5.5 provides the RTPTs calculation for Braidwood Unit 1 Beltline and Extended Beltline Region Materials at EOLE (57 EFPY), (Reference 7).

Notes:

(a)

The source document containing detailed calculations is WCAP-18370-NP (Reference 7), Table 7-1, Table 7-3, Table 7-4, and Table 7-5.

(b)

(c)

The ART values for the extended beltline materials are conservatively calculated at the surface, i.e.,

without attenuation of the fluence.

The outlet nozzle materials do not exceed the 1 x 10 17 n/cm2 fluence threshold at 57 EFPY; therefore, neutron irradiation embrittlement need not be considered for the nozzle materials. However, the results are included for information.

(a) The 10 CFR 50.61 methodology was utilized in the calculation of the RTPTs values.

(b) The source document containing detailed calculations is WCAP-18370-NP (Reference 7), Table E-1.

(c) Initial RTNoT values are based on measured data. Hence, O"u = 0°F.

14°F for Position 2.1. However, O"A need not exceed 0.5*~RTNDT-63.8 44.5 54.3 33.2 86.7 146.2 108.4 (e) The outlet nozzle materials do not exceed the I x 10 17 n/cm2 fluence threshold at 57 EFPY; therefore, neutron irradiation embrittlement need not be considered for the nozzle materials. However, the results are included for information.

(t) The lRTNoT values are based on BA W-2308 (Reference 2). Use of BA W-2308 as an exemption to the 10 CFR 50.61 methodology was approved in Reference 11. BA W-2308 requires the use of an crr = I 8°F and O"A = 28°F.
