01-03 Commitment Number:
26528 Change Type:
Revision Source Document:
SSER-26 TXX-01026 SECY-00-045 NEI-99-04 Original Commitment
Description:
The residual heat removal (RHR) system piping on the discharge side of RHR pumps 1 and 2 contains a total of approximately 250 welds on 8-inch and 10-inch NPS Schedule 40 piping with wall thicknesses of 0.322 inch and 0.365 inch, respectively. The PSI examinations performed by the applicant were on the suction side of the RHR pumps where the 12-inch and 16-inch NPS pipe wall thicknesses are equal to or greater than 0.375 inch. When developing the in-service inspection plan, the applicant should consider redistributing the 7.5 percent sample to include volumetric examination of welds on the discharge side of the RHR pumps.
Revised Commitment
Description:
In lieu of selecting 7.5% of the welds from the "thin wall" (0.375") discharge piping for the RHR and CT pumps, the selection will be based on the EPRI RI-ISI methodology. When developing the in-service inspection plan, the applicant should consider redistributing the 7.5%
sample to include volumetric examination of welds on the discharge side of the RHR pumps.
Justification for Change:
The commitment identified in NRC SSER-26 was not a mandatory commitment (reference SECY-00-045 and NEI-99-04). The selection of welds will be based on the EPRI RI-ISI methodology.
