EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Byron Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 NRC Inspection Report 50-454/99005(DRS)
The purpose of this inspection was to verify the adequacy of licensee programs, procedures, equipment and supporting documentation for the Inservice Inspection Program (ISI). The following observations were made:
.
ISI program requirements were implemented in accordance with Regulatory and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code requirements. (Section M1.1)
. The steam generator inspection program for the recently replaced (first cycle) steam generators (SG) was conservative and included 100% examination of SG tubing in SGs B, C and D and secondary side visual examination for loose parts and sludge lancing for all four SGs. The examination and maintenance of the steam generators and Class one and two components were performed satisfactorily. (Section M1.2)
- The Flow Accelerated Corrosion Program is modeled to the most current industry guidelines. Repairs and replacements use upgraded materials to reduce wear rate (Section M1.3)
- Procedures were thorough and documentation was completed per procedure and applicable Code requirements. (Section M3)
= The knowledge and performance of the engineering staff and contractors in the area of ISI was good. The licensee staff was intimately involved in emerging issues and resolution of problems. (Section M1.2, M4)
-
The Master Assessment Plan (NOP-38) contained detailed assessment tasks. The in-process assessment of inspection contractors appeared rigorous. (Section M7)

The qualifications and certifications of the Raytheor, individuals perfurming examinations were reviewe This documentation included licensee and third party review and acceptance of the NDE certifications. The inspector reviewed manufacturer's certif'cates of conformance for consumable PT and UT materials used during the outage. All documents reviewed above were found acceptabl During UT of the reactor vessel (RV) studs, initial results revealed a crack indication appearing approximately midway through the length of stud #3. The indication was shadowy or not sharp, and appeared in one location around the circumference of the top head examination surface. The Level l! examiner reported this and the next day Comed Level 111 personnel arrived to further investigate. Their investigation revealed that with the standard UT scope, i.e. one whose repetition rate is intemally determined based on screen size and not adjustable to accommodate unusual configurations (such as 82" long,7" round RV studs), sometime such " ghost" indications would be seen. The Comed Level Ill, using a UT scope with a variable repetition rate, demonstrated that decreasing the rate below approximately 750 pulses per second would make the indication disappear. The Level ill inspector characterized it as a " standing wave" induced electronically in the system when the UT scope was not listening for the return before sending out the next puls The inspector reviewed selected data packages including linearity and calibration data, examination data, percentage coverage calculations, NDE summary reports and
- indication evaluation reports. The inspector determined the methods, extent and techniques of examination complied with the ISI program and applicable NDE procedure, and the results were within acceptance criteria as outlined in iM applicable NDE procedure and ASME Code. NDE results from prior examinations were used to compare with current results. The recording, evaluating and dispositioning of indications complied with the sppiicable procedur During maintenance of the reactor coolant system Loop A iniation valve (1RC8002A)
several intemal areas of damage were identified. The valve guide had become dislodged resulting in two areas of mechanically induced damage in the valve bod Also the valve disc seat, disc face, guide retaining ears and disc guide lug on the reactor side of the valve were damaged. Station maintenance although not initially aware of

possible ASME Code consequences stemming from repair to this Class 1 valve, sought participation from the ISI group during resolution of the problem. The damaged valve intemal parts were replaced or corrected as recommended by Westinghouse and the valve body was examined to Code Category B12.50 which requires visual inspection of ,
the value body interior surfaces. The two areas of damage to the valve body were
'
messared. The damaged areas were evaluated to IWB-3519.1(a) of the applicable ASME Cod The inspector reviewed videotape of RV in-vessel visual inspection recorded during the outage. The video was clear and the ability to detect 1/32" as well as 1/64" lines on an 18% neutral gray card was documented. Videotape included the inside surface of the RV head, the head control rod drive and thermocouple funnels and penetrations, the RV flange surface, upper structure keyway lugs, hot leg nozzles, core baffle areas, and lower core plate. No anomalies were noted on the corresponding repor i The licensee performed 100% ET examination (bobbin coil) of the tubes for SG's B, C & D. The inspector observed the acquisition of data and resolution analysis of the data, and verified that contract personnel were performing the examination in accordance with applicable procedures, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Steam Generator Examination Guidelines Revision 5, and applicable Byron Technical Specification (TS) requirements. Due to the primary loop stop valve damage referenced above, the SG-A tubing was not examined this outage. The SG examination exceeded the TS requirements for sampling and no defective tubes were identified. Seven tubes were examined with a plus point coil to characterize distorted ET indications. The plus point coil did not identify any degradation in the seven tubes with the distorted indications. Visual examination (VT) of the secondary side of the SG's did not identify I any degradation, one small foreign part (flexitalic gasket piece) was found and retrieved. j The VT camera and lighting equipment and retrieval process was state of the ar l enabling the finding and retrieval of a hair like material. Sludge lancing was performed in all four SG's with less than 15 pounds of sludge retrieved from each S Previous baseline examination of the SG's tubing identified some tubes were in contact i with adjacent tubes in the horizontal position. The Unit i replacement SG's design has !
a " floating" tube bundle. Other licensee's with this design had inspected their SG tubing and found that the tube contact problem corrected itself after one to two cycles of operation in the installed vertical position. The licensee screened the tubes which had been reported as touching and those reported as close proximity by ET inspectio Inspection results only identified 7 tubes in SG-B, and none in C & D, which remained in contact or close proximity (.025 to 0.125 inches). The preservice examination identified a total of 215 tubes (SG's B, C, & D) in contact or near proximity. Of all the tubes that were previously identified as in contact and the 7 tubes in SG-B which still show near proximity, none were degraded. The seven tubes in SG-B will be inspected at each outage to verify that the tubes separate in time and to assure degradation (wear) does not occu c. Conclusions The inspector found the examination personnel to be properly qualified. The ISI activities are controlled and monitored. The staff was involved with emerging issues and review of data. The participation of two Comed Level ill individuals during investigation of the RV stud #3 UT indication demonstrated the good level of management overview
.
,
of problems. The staff decision to involve the ISI group in the evaluation of the damage to the Class 1 valve demonstrcled a good questioning attitude. It appears the tube contact issue is self correcting as previously experienced at other licensees with this SG design. The SG inapection program continues to be aggressiv M1.3 Flow Accelerated Corrosion Proaram (FAC) Review Insoection Scope The inspector reviewed the FAC program and observed repair activities in progres Observations and Findinos The inspector noted that 117 components were examined under the FAC program during this outage. The station engineering group uses the CheckWorks computer program to select examination areas. Update of the Unit 2 FAC program had been recently completed. Future update for Unit 1 was planned. The station replaced a large portion of the extraction steam system from the turbine check valves back to the Moisture Separator Reheater (MSRs) which included 12", 8" and %" lines with FAC-resistant Chrome-Moly carbon steel piping. All tees, elbow.3, valves except for two, and any short interconnecting pipe less than 12 feet in length were replace The inspector observed heat treatment of field welds 84 and 86 using heat treatment procedure BMP 3000-13 Revision O. The inspector reviewed the procedure and work packages 980100912-01 for line 1ES13BA-8" and 980100918-01 for 1ES13BB-8".
Minor discrepancies in the work packages were brought to the attention of the project engineer and were appropriately correcte The inspector noted that magnetic particle testing (MT) was performed on the arees where thermocouples had been attached to the piping near the welds to monitor the heating process. After removal of thermocouples and light buffing of the approximately 1.5"x1.5" area, MT was then performe Conclusions The licensee's FAC program appears to be conservative and follows the industry guidelines. Repairs or replacements were upgraded to corrosion resistant materia M3 Maintenance Procedures and Documentation M3.1 ISI Procedure Reyig I Inspection Scope (73052)

The inspector reviewed the proposed examination plan to inspect the feedwater nozzle with the restraint. in place. The method proposed utilized a manual UT procedure using transducers wid various angles. This method was able to acquire the inspection volume required by the ASME Code. The proposed inspection plan meets the required volumetric examination requirement M4 Maintenance Staff Knowledge and Performance Insoection Scope The inspector interviewed several ET analyst and technicians and observed their wor Observations and Findinos The inspector observed the ET examination and informally interviewed several analysts involved in resolution of ET data. The analysts were knowledgeable and experienced in the examination requirements. All of the analysts were required to pass the site specific performance demonstration examination which includes the acquisition / analyst procedures and the SG Eddy Current Data Analyst Guidelines. All analysts were required to be certified as a Quality Data Analyst (QDA) Level llA per the EPRI PWR Steam Generator Examination Guidelines Appendix Conclusions The inspector concluded that the knowledge and performance of the ET resolution analyst was goo M7 Quality Assurance in Maintenance Activities M7.1 Self-Assessment of ISI l

The inspector interviewed Comed personnel within the Nuclear Operations group responsible for implementing the station Master Assessment Plan (MAP). The inspector reviewed assessment documents including procedures, personnel qualifications, assessment schedules, detailed assessment plans, checklists, and various assessors'
handwntten notes for assessment of ISI program activitie Observations and Findinas The inspector reviewed ISI-related assessment activities conducted since the last ISI outage. The Nuclear Operations group switched to " assessment" (formerly labeled
" audit") in December 1998 as their primary method of independent, periodic evaluation of station activities affecting quality. Assessment of ISI activities collectively is accomplished through two broad areas of assessment: Engineering and Maintenanc Within the Engineering category, programmatic aspects of ISI such as development and maintenance of the ISI plan, selection of areas for examination, applicability of relief requests, etc. are assessed. The Byron Engineering MAP had assessment of ISI and FAC scheduled to begin June 23,2000. The inspector interviewed the Engineering

This assessment of maintenance and inspection contractors included in-process observations of work activities, document reviews and interviews to determine if contractors were performing activities in a safe and quality manner, and to enrure adherence to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B criteria. The inspector interviewed the assessment team leader and reviewed the assessment notification document. The inspector reviewed the assessment plan and reviewed handwritten notes of this ongoing assessment. The inspector reviewed a PIF generated as a result of this assessment team identifying improper documentation for foreign material exclusion controls on Unit 1B condenser hood wor Conclusions Master Assessment Plan (NOP-38) contained detailed assessment tasks. Ongoing assessment of inspection contractors (NOA-06-99-019) appeared rigorou V.
