| Title | Small Circumferential Indications Found on Two Reactor Vessel Head Penetrations |
| Event Description | On October 23, 2009 during the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 (BVPS-2) refueling outage, it was determined that the results of planned ultrasonic (UT) examinations performed on two penetrations of the reactor vessel head would not meet the applicable acceptance criteria. Both require repair prior to returning the vessel head to service. Each of these penetrations has a small circumferential indication near the toe of the J-groove weld. The indications are not through wall and there was no evidence of leakage based on inspections performed on the top of the reactor vessel head. The examinations were being performed to meet the requirements of 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D) and ASME Code Case N-729-1, to find potential flaws/indications well before they grow to a size that could potentially jeopardize the structural integrity of the reactor vessel head pressure boundary. Currently 43 of 66 penetrations have been examined; all of the penetrations will be examined during the current refueling outage.
The plant is currently shutdown and in an undefined mode as the fuel has been offloaded from the reactor to the spent fuel pool. The reactor vessel head is not currently installed. Repairs are currently being planned and will be completed prior to startup. This is reportable pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) since the as found indications did not meet the applicable acceptance criteria referenced in ASME Code Case N-729-1 to remain in-service without repair. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
