5. Inservice Inspection By letter dated October 2,1987, Carolina Power and Light (CP&L) Company informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of their current plans to perform intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) examinations on the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 (BSEP-2) recirculation system piping and any other service sensitive austenitic stainless steel piping which contains reactor coolant at a temperature above 200 F during power operation. The examinations were to be scheduled to be performed during the reload 7 outage of BSEP-2, which was scheduled to begin on January 2, 1988. The IGSCC examinations would be conducted in accordance with the technical guidance given in Draft NUREG-0313, Revision Personnel performing the IGSCC examinations were to be qualified in accordance with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)/ Boiling Water Reactors Owners Group (BWROG)/NRC Training Agreement. General Electric's j (GE) automated SMART ultrasonic (UT) system will be used for the IGSCC l cxaminations where physical clearances are allowe On January 12, 1988, the inspector arrived at the Brunswick facility to examine the licensee's IGSCC activities and was immediately informed of a weld crack indication in a recirculation line nozzl The inspector reviewed the data taken by the GE SMART UT System and held discussions i with CP&L's and GE's Level III Examiner Information obtained by the inspector revealed that a significant crack i had been discovered by GE when performing the pre-mechanical stress  !

4 the upper portion of the safe-end to nozzle.inconel 182 butt weld. GE had examined this weld in 1986 using the automated SMART UT system and I refracted longitudinal wave transducers designed specifically to examine welds and cast materials. However, the _1986 examinations did not reveal ]

any indication of a crack in this weld. The crack was considered unique for the following reasons:

! Inconei weld metal is considered fairly resistant to IGSCC and is )

used extensively in the reactor vessel for attaching foundations and 1

could have also failed to identify similar crack !

!

CP&L was awe.re of the serious implications this crack and its repair ,

presente A site IGSCC Project Team was set up immediately to l investigate the cause of the crack and to determine the most appropriate '

method of repai The inspector reviewed data obtained during the investigation of records, held discussions with cognizant personnel and j established a direct technical interface at the site for NRC management ,

and engineering personnel at the Regional and Headquarters office Specific data investigated during this period consistea of the following: I I

ISI records for every nozzle examination conducted on Unit 1 and Unit 2 since construction

-

Methods of repair and the design basis for repair By the end of the second week, several significant findings had been established and the licensee had decided on a specific method of repai The most significant finding was that this defect had been detected during a manual ultrasonic inspection of this nozzle weld in May of 1984.

.

Unfortunately, at that time, ultrasonic techniques and equipment had not been used that could track the indication through the inconel weld material and the inspection personnel had evaluated the ir.dication as an inclusion contained within the nozzle that had very little thru-wall depth and, therefore, was acceptable to the ASME Code criteria. In addition to

the above, technical reviews of the 1986 examinations by GE and the l

inspector revealed that, although GE used equipment capable of penetrating the inconel weld metal with a high level of confidence, certain inspection parameters were unsatisfactory. They consisted of the following: Transducer sound wave angles were too shallow to allow adequate coverage Fixtures for the . transducers were too large and also limited the scans Lift-off, resulting from the weld joint configuration and items and b. above, limited the effectiveness of the examinatio A defect in the bottom 50% of the weld would not have been detected using the 1986 techniques and equipment The technical problems identified above are commonly encountered when advance automated equipment and techniques are substituted for manual methods and implemented by personnel without sufficient field experienc These findings prompted the inspector to review the SMART examination data for six reactor vessel nozzle welds examined on Unit 1 in 198 The inspector discovered that GE had corrected each of the equipment and technique problems identified during the Unit 2 examinations performed in 1986 and had conducted reliable examinations on Unit 1 in 198 Once it was determined that the crack indication had been in the weld before the 1984 examinations, the inspector's concerns regarding possible errors in the recirculation system stress calculations and accelerated crack growth rates were diminishe Concern now focused on what caused the circumferential crack in inconel material. The apparent cause of the crack was IGSCC. The concern was generic because of the uncertainty of previous ultrasonic techniques used to examine these welds and the fact that two other reactors (one in the USA and one overseas) had recently experienced cracking in their reactor vessel nozzle weld On January 27, 1988, Region II management personnel accompanied by the inspector attended a NRC/CP&L technical meeting at Bethesda, Marylan The meeting was held to discuss the Brunswick Unit 2 crack on Weld N B32-RECIRC-12"-AR-E5, CP&L's investigation and propose method of repai The CP&L presentation covered the following: Current Unit 2 Status - Presentation made by GE Characterization of Defect Review of Previous Examinations I History of Weld Joint 12"-ARES - Presentation Made by CP&L Corporate

The technical information was presented in a very informative manner. The exchange of questions between the NRC and CP&L representatives was excellent. The technical exchange was unquestionably beneficial to the NRC and CP& On January 28, 1988, Region II was informed, by NRC Headquarters personnel, that cracks had been reported in both manway covers in the reactor shroud at Pt.ach Bottom. The cracks were in inconel material, approximately 50% thru-wall and extended intermittently around the entire circumference of the manway covers. Region II was also informed that GE would be performing the shroud manway inspection at Brunswick Unit 2, starting on January 31, 198 The inspector arrived at Brunswick facility on January 31, 198 Modification work on GE's remote scanner device and SMART system calibrations were witnessed by the inspector until Wednesday night, February 3,1988, when the reactor vessel became available for inservice inspectio GE worked continuously for seventeen hours before successfully placing the remote device on the first manway cover. Each cover was to be inspected twice; once with a 60 refracted longitudinal wave transducer to examine the inconel weld material and to accurately size deep cracks with crack tip detection technique The second examination was to be performed with a 45 shear wave transducer to detect smaller corner reflectors in the inconel manway covers. By Friday, January 5,1988, data had been taken en both manway covers using both inspection techniques and the preliminary evaluations appeared to indicate that Brunswick Unit 2 did not have any cracking in the inconel manway Cover ,

Two new crack indications were revealed as a result of the above examination The first and most critical indication was the circumferential crack in weld 2832-RR-12"-AR-E This crack will require an inconel overlay weld repai The program and method of repair will be discussed in subsequent paragraphs below. The second new crack indication was an axial crack discovered in Veld No. 2B32-RR-28-Bl. This was the second axial crack found in Weld- *

No. 2832-RR-28-B1 since the 1986 inspection of this weld had also-detected a crack. Re-examination of the 1986 detected crack revealed no measurable growth to the previously recorded crac In addition to the inspector's evaluation and examination overview of the above reactor vessel nozzle welds the inspector also witnessed portions of the UT examinatiens for IGSCC and reviewad SHART System data for the following piping and component welds:

.

Af ter reviewing the crack indications discovered during the present examinations on Unit 2, the inspector concluded that information ma be available (as had been demonstrated for Weld Ho. 2B32-RR-12"-AR-E5) in previous examination data to determine' why indications now recorded were not detected, therefore, the inspector i condected a technical review of records on Units 1 and 2 for all sixteen reactor vessel nozzles required by code to be examined. This review included the most recent examinations and historically tracked the examination process to the construction baselin The review revealed that until 1987 automated examinations of these welds lacked adequate coverage because of weld joint geometry and inadequate-equipment accessibilit In additions from 1975 to and including 1985, UT examination of these inconel buttered weld were conducted with shear wave transducers which had limited ability to penetrate the inconel weld materia l GE had corrected all examination limitations for the 1988 examinations of Unit 2. A sample of six reactor vessel nozzle welds were also examined correctly on Unit 1 in 1987 and no crack indications were observed. The licensee intents to examine the remaining ten nozzle welds on Unit I during the outage presently scheduled for November 12, 198 Within the areas examined, no violation or deviation was- identifie c. In-Core Visual Examination - Unit 2 The inspector observed GE perform the in-core visual examinations of the guide rod support brackets and plug welds. This work was  ;

conducted in accordance with PT-90.1. The inspector also reviewed video tapes of the core spray headers after cracking was reported by the licensee in the 316 stainless steel piping of the heade The crack was located in the heat effective zone of a 5" diameter pipe l

.

weld to T-box fittina. The fitting was located in the north header at the 90 core spray nozzle inlet. The crack was approximately 2" in length. The indication will be examined with liquid penetrant and sized with UT later in the present outage to determine the full extenc of the indication and the crack depth. GE is evaluating the cause of the crack and will determine whether a repair will be necessary when all the test data is availabl Within the area examined, no violation or deviation was identifie . Overlay Repair Welding - Unit 2 (73753 and 55050)

The inspector observed two overlay repair weld activities to determine if approved procedures were used and if personnel responsible for the performance of each activity were knceledgeable of procedural requirement The first activity examined by the inspector was CP&L's weld overlay repair upgrad This program upgrades previously deposited design overlays to full structure overlays of the width necessary to insure full inspection coverage for Uf. GE has been contracted by CP&L to upgrade the overlay weld repairs. However, GE was working to CP&L's approved quality assurance program and procedures. GE welder's were also qualified to CP&L welding procedure specification The overlay upgrade activities were condue :ed i n accordance with plant modification (PM)87-128 using CP&L weld procedure specification (WPS) - 88U12 and/or Maintenance Instruction (MI) 25-33. The inspector observed the upgrade repair welding for weld Nc. 2B32-RR-28-B3 and weld No. 2B32-RR-28-B Equipment settings, calibration, instructions and welder qualification efforts were verified by the inspector for the following GE welders:

'

Welder R. C. J. The second repair activity examined by the inspector was GE's repair welding program for the inconel weld overlay repair of the circumferential crack found on the reactor vessel nozzle-to-safe-end weld N B32-RR-12"-AR-ES. GE had recently made a similar repair at an oversea plant and had qualified proceduces and welders to made this inconel weld repairs on SA-508 steel and inconel material. Since this repair was to be l made to GE's Quality Program and procedures, the inspector reviewed the folluwing aspects of GE welding program:

7. Mechanical Stress Improvement Process Activities - Unit 2 The inspector held discussions with CP&L's cognizant engineering staff and reviewed documentation which dealt with the application and design base

'

for mechanical stress improvement. CP&L intends to use this process on the reactor vessel nozzle to safe-end welds. The process is recognized by NRC as an effective way to minimize and control IGSCC. The inspector however, was not satisfied with the design base information available at the site for the safe-ends to reactor vessel nozzle welds on 12" inlet riser piping. The particular area of concern dealt with the anticipated hoop stress redistribution pattern for the 12" inlet riser weld versus the '

10" core spray safe-end to nozzle wel The core spray uses a tuning fork design safe-end for the attachment of the thermal shiel This design would not be effected if the concentration of hoop stress was transferred from the weld joint and heat effective zone to the area where the tuning fork is forged to the safe-end as was the case in the design basis example the inspector reviewe However, the 12" inlet riser safe-end weld scheduled for

, mechanical stress important has its thermal shield welded to the safe-en If the hoop stress was transferred to this area, the additional stress coupled with the fact that the safe-end would be sensitized could accelerate IGSC The licensee assured the inspector that the stresses would not be redistributed to this area on a 12" safe en .

'

The inspector requested that the licensee have someone from O'Donnell & i Associates Inc., the firm that was responsible for the site technical expertise and design work on this process, to attend the NRC/CP&L ;

technical meeting for the repair of weld No. 2B32-RR-12"-AR-E5 in Bethesda, Maryland on February 27, 1988, and to be prepared to discuss the
