1.0 INTRODUCTION

Byron Station Unit 1 operates with four Babcock & Wilcox Replacement Steam Generators (SGs) in the four loop pressurized water reactor system. The SGs each contain 6633 thermally treated Inconel-690 U-tubes that have a nominal diameter of 0.6875 inches and a nominal thickness of 0.040 inches. The tubes are supported by stainless steel lattice grid structures and fan bars. The tubes are hydraulically expanded into the full depth of the tubesheet. Main Feedwater enters the SGs above the tube bundle through a feedring and J-tubes. The SG configuration is shown in Figures A.1 and A.2. The replacement SGs were installed at the end of Cycle 8.

In compliance with Byron Station Technical Specification 5.5.9, "Steam Generator Tube Surveillance Program," and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code, 1989 Edition,Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear power Plant Components," IWB 2500-1, Examination Category B-Q, Item B16.20, SG eddy current examinations were performed during the Byron Station Unit 1 Cycle 11 Refueling Outage (i.e., B1 R1 1). In addition, the inspections were performed consistent with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) "PWR Steam Generator Examination Guidelines," Revision 5, and Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 97 06, "Steam Generator Program Guidelines." The field inspection activities were conducted from March 16, 2002, through March 20, 2002, by Westinghouse Electric Company, Ltd. The following inspections were performed during this outage:

"* fifty-four percent (54%) full-length bobbin coil inspection in all four SGs (consisting of 100% of peripheral tubes with the exception of tubes under the manipulator base plate and 50% of interior tubes);

SUMMARY

The guidance in Revision 5 of the EPRI PWR Steam Generator Examination Guidelines (i.e., EPRI Guidelines) was used during this inspection. A degradation assessment was performed prior to the inspection to ensure the proper EPRI Guideline Appendix H, "Performance Demonstration for Eddy Current Examination," qualified inspection techniques were used to detect any existing and potential modes of degradation. Each technique was evaluated to ensure that the detection and sizing capabilities are applicable to the Byron Station Unit 1 specific condition in accordance with Section 6.2.4 of the EPRI Guidelines. All data analysts were qualified to Appendix G, "Qualification of Nondestructive Examination Personnel for Analysis of NDE Data," of the EPRI Guidelines (i.e., Qualified Data Analyst (QDA)). All data analyst and acquisition personnel satisfactorily completed site specific training and testing. An independent QDA process control review was employed to randomly sample the data to ensure that the analysis resolution process was properly performed and that the field calls were properly reported. An analysis feedback process was implemented that required the data analysts to review their missed calls and overcalls on a daily basis.

4.0 EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES AND EXAMINATION SCOPE All SG eddy current examination techniques used were qualified in accordance with Appendix H of the EPRI PWR SG Examination Guidelines. Each examination technique was evaluated to be applicable to the tubing and conditions of the Byron Station Unit 1 SGs.

4.1 Examination Techniques 4.1.1 Approximately 54% of the inservice tubes were inspected full length utilizing a bobbin coil probe described in Section 3.1.5 of this report. This consisted of 100% of the peripheral tubes and 50% of the interior tubes. Nominal probe inspection speed was 40 inches per second. Sufficient sampling rates were used to maintain a minimum digitizing rate of 30 samples per inch. The bobbin probes were operated in the differential and absolute modes at frequencies of 650 kHz, 320kHz, 160 kHz, and 35 kHz. The following suppression mixes were used to enhance the inspection: 650/160 kHz differential mix, 320/160 kHz absolute mix, and a 650/320 kHz differential mix.

4.1.2 Twenty-five percent (25%) of the tubes in each SG were inspected at the hot leg top of tubesheet expansion transition region (+/- 3 inches) with a three-coil plus point probe as described in Section 3.1.6. Axial probe inspection speed was 0.5 inches per second. Sample rates and rotation speeds were used to maintain a minimum digitizing rate of 30 samples per inch (i.e., 25 samples per inch for the axial direction and 30 samples per inch for the circumferential direction). The rotating probes were operated in the absolute test mode at frequencies of 300 kHz, 200kHz, 100 kHz and 20 kHz. In addition to the four base frequencies, three process channels were used to display axial indications in the positive trace.

4.1.3 Diagnostic examinations were planned for non-quantifiable indications and hot leg dents/dings greater than 5.0 volts that may be detected by the bobbin coil examination. The diagnostic examinations were to utilize a three-coil plus-point probe as described in Section 3.1.6. Axial probe inspection speed was 0.5 inches per second for straight tubing and 0.15 inches per second for U-bend region of the tubing and dents/dings. Sample rates and rotation speeds were used to maintain a minimum digitizing rate of 30 samples per inch (i.e., 25 samples per inch for the axial direction and 30 samples per inch for the Page 6 of 16

circumferential direction). The rotating probes were operated in the absolute test mode at frequencies of 300 kHz, 200kHz, 100 kHz and 20 kHz. High row U-bend examinations were performed at frequencies of 400 kHz, 300 kHz, 100kHz and 20 kHz. In addition to the four base frequencies, three process channels were used to display axial indications in the positive trace.

4.1.4 The eddy current calibration standards used for the bobbin coil and plus-point inspections met the requirements of Section 6.2.7 of the EPRI PWR Steam Generator Examination Guidelines, Revision 5 and Sections V and Xl of the ASME B&PV Code, 1989 Edition.

4.1.5 The SG eddy current examination techniques used during this inspection were equivalent to the EPRI Appendix H techniques listed in Table 4.1. Each technique was evaluated and determined to be applicable to the site conditions.

This consisted of 100% of the peripheral tubes with the exception of tubes under the manipulator base plate and 50% of the interior tubes.

4.2.3 Twenty-five percent (25%) of the tubes in each SG were inspected at the hot leg top of tubesheet expansion transition region (+/- 3 inches) with a three-coil plus point probe as described in Sections 3.1.6 and 4.1.2.

4.2.4 Diagnostic examinations were planned for non-quantifiable indications and hot leg dents/dings greater than 5.0 volts that were detected by the bobbin coil examination. Diagnostic examinations were also performed to investigate potential foreign object signals and extent of condition for the potential foreign objects. These special examinations are performed with the three-coil plus-point probe described in Sections 3.1.6 and 4.1.3 above. A total of 90 tubes were Page 7 of 16

inspected as a result of these diagnostic examinations. No hot leg dents or dings greater than 5.0 volts by the bobbin coil technique were detected.

4.2.5 Diagnostic bobbin coil examinations were planned to bound locations of foreign object signals and fan bar wear indications. These examinations were performed with the bobbin coil probe described in Sections 3.1.5 and 4.1.1 above. A total of 85 tubes were inspected as a result of these diagnostic examinations.

4.3 Recording of Examination Data Results of the SG eddy current data analysis were recorded on optical disks. The data was then loaded into a Westinghouse SG eddy current data management system. The system was used to track the completion of the examinations and was used to generate the final SG eddy current report summaries.

4.4 Witness and Verification of Examination SG eddy current inspections were witnessed and/or verified by Authorized Nuclear Inservice Inspectors, Mr. Jeff Hendricks and Mr. Robert Ward of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Company of Connecticut, Chicago Branch, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 500, Lisle, Illinois 60532-9871.
