May 31, 1995 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 95-26: DEFECT IN SAFETY-RELATED PUMP PARTS DUE TO

INADEQUATE HEAT TREATMENT

Addressees

All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power

reactors.

Purpose

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information

notice to alert addressees to a potential for pump failure as a result of

inadequate heat treatment of pump parts. It is expected that recipients will

review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider

actions, as appropriates to avoid similar problems. However, suggestions

contained-in this information notice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no

specific action or written response is required.

Description of Circumstances

On October 19, 1994, Westinghouse issued a written report pursuant to Part 21 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Part 21) (Accession No.

9411010251), regarding a defect found in the "JHF" model safety injection

pumps that were manufactured by Ingersoll-Dresser Pump (IDP) Company. The

defect comprises several axial cracks in the pressure-reducing sleeve locknut, which is made of Type 416 stainless steel. The failure mechanism was

attributed to stress corrosion cracking which primarily was caused by a

martensite phase hardness of 47 Rc (Rockwell Scale C). It is known that 400

series stainless steel with a hardness in excess of 40 Rc is highly

susceptible to intergranular stress corrosion cracking in aqueous

environments. The heat treatment for this pump part was specified to be

27-32 Rc.

Although the problem was at first thought to be limited to the locknut on the

pressure-reducing sleeve within the IDP pump, Westinghouse and IDP have

determined that other pump parts may be affected by the same problem. On

February 20, 1995, Westinghouse issued a final Part 21 report which indicated

that (1) in addition to the subject locknut, other pump parts could be

affected by the same problem and (2)the problem is limited to IDP pump parts

that were made of Type 416 stainless steel, processed under heat treatment

process "HT 21," and that were taken from heat numbers 15899 and 28144.

The detailed Westinghouse final Part 21 report (Accession No. 9503020053) on

this issue is attached (Attachment 1).

<_IN * 95-26 May 31, 1995 Discussion

As noted in the attached Westinghouse Part 21 report, the suspect parts are

used in intermediate-head safety injection pumps, auxiliary feedwater pumps, and charging/high-head safety injection pumps in various plants. The defect

in these pump parts, if not corrected, could result in pump failure. The loss

of these pumps during a design-basis accident could affect accident

mitigation.

Some of these affected pumps have been in operation for more than 10 years.

Because of the importance of these pumps to plant safety, Westinghouse has

recommended that the affected pump parts be replaced with the parts currently

recommended by IDP.

An IDP safety injection pump (model "JTCH") failed during a post-maintenance

test at Indian Point Unit 3 on February 19, 1995. Inspection of the internal

components of the pump revealed that the locknut on the outboard shaft had

backed off about 6.35 mm [0.25 inch]. The loosened locknut allowed the pump

impellers to move axially, and allowed them to rub against the stationary

diffusers and the casing, and ultimately resulted in pump failure. Although

the root cause of this failure is unrelated to the problem reported by

Westinghouse, a similar pump failure could occur if the locknut on the

pressure-reducing sleeve, mentioned in the Westinghouse Part 21 report, failed.

This information notice requires no specific action or written response. If

you have any questions about the information in this notice, please contact

identified to You in References I and 2.

Reference I identified a defect, as defined under 1OCFR21, regarding the pressure reducing sleeve

locknut of the JHF Model Safety Lnjection Pump that was manfactured by Wersoll Dresser Pump

(DP) Company and supplied to seera nudear power plants by Westinghouse and tlP.

Westinghouse also notified the affeced licensees about the defe via Reference 3.

Reference I Indicated that MIP would perform a review of dte applicable 400 series stainless steel

parts applicable heat amets on other safety related pumps it Supplied to the nuclear power

industry to determine whether ths sisation could apply to other parts on other safety relazed pums.

Tbis review was completed on December IS, 1994.

Westinghouse dffed the NRC about the results of this review via Reference 2. The results of

review indicated tda the failure mechanism appers to be limited to I)p pump par ta consist the

of

416 SS, processe uder IIP heat teatent proces 'HT 21 and taken from [DP heat numbers

115899 and 28144. Aow. the review Indicated that additional pump parts may be susceptible to the

same ilure mechanism. Referece 2 indicted dt IDP would determine whether the failure of the

additional pump parts would prevent the applicable pump from performing its intended safey

funiction.

Mi review has been completed and ndictes tha some of the additional pump paru may also

constitute a defect, as defined in 10 CPR 21, whih could crae a Substantial safetr azard. e

EYALUA

IDP's evaluation results Indicate ho all 416 SS pars processed under EDP beat numbers OI899 and

n8144 are susceptible to the sae failure mechanism as the pressu reducing sleeve locimuts.

These pas hve been dvided ko three categories.

The firt categoy Includes pat which were supplied with the origil pump assembly and whose

fuilure could prevent the pump from peformhg Its ;neded safety fnction. These paut and the

applicable plants are Identified to Table 3. Also, now that dies. parts Include the pressure reducing

sleeve locknuts thar were the parts originly Identified In Referenice ,

Tbe second caegory includes pars which were ulied with the original pump and whose fillure

would n prevem the pump from performing its intended safety union. These pam are dif d

in Table 4. The pans should be replaced as a pruiden manean activity. [t should be exmphasized

dtt the parts do not constitute defects pursuant to 10 CFR 21 since the faiure of the parts should

cot prevent the pump from performnig its Intended safety function. Howev, they are Included In

this letter to identify the results of the evaluations that are mentioned in References I and 2.

The third category Includes the parts which were supplied as replacemet pump pars and whose

failure could prevent the pump from performing its intended safety funcion. Most of the replacement

parts were supplied directly to the utilities by IDP. These parts and the applicable plants are

Identified in Table S. Please note da Table S has been divided into two lists. One list (Parts from

Identified Material') includes the replacement parts that are known to have been taken from beat

IS899 and 02814. The other list (-Paxts from Unidentifled Material-) includes those -wus which

could have been manufaaured from either heam 1IS89 or 121844, based on the time of tanufacture, original maial specification and part size. However, there is no documentation to spifically

identify the bear number from which the pan was taken. Therefore, It was assumed that the parts

were taken from heat #15899 and 21844.

Tbe identification of the parts in Tables 3. 4 and S Is based on several reported part failures, a failure

analysis of failed parts and engineering Judgetnent. Duke Power Company reported two separate

failures (crackig of the pressure reducing sleeve locknuts on JHF model safety Injection pumps.

Both locknuts consisted of 416 SS and were processed under heat 11S899. Duke Power performed a

failure analysi on each locnt. The failure analysis indicated that the allure mechanism was stress

corrosion cracking. The analysis also indicated that each lout's susceptibility to stress corrosion

cracking was increased by a relatively high martenske phase hards which allegedly resulted from

a Insufficient tempering operation. A comparison of the Duke Power Failure analysis report and the

IDP beat trearmea specification an beat material certification Is provided In Table 1.

FEB 20 '95 11-28 FROM OPL LCENSING T0 813016165151 PMGE.0044012 The existne of two fures and the data InTable I provide a basis to condude that the locknuts are

defects as defined in 10 CFR 21. First, it should be nated diat 400 series SS with a hardness of

grea than 40 Rc Is very susccpdble to Wtergar sares corrosion cracig In aqueous

environment. Table I indicates to for both lockuts die microbardness was higher than 40 Rc.

Also. Table I Indicates th for both lockmuts. the bulk phase hardness measured inthe fallure

analysis was s*ifficandy hgher than tie bulk phase hardness provided on the material certification

sheer. It could n be determned why tese bulk phase hardness values are differect. Since, the

micbardoesisw s aer than 40 Re, the bulk phase hardness diffae ce could not be acribuced to

any specific reason. However, since the cracking was observed on each locknut. It was determlned

thar a1 parts from beat M15899 could be susceptible to the same failure.

In addition to the above, Duke Power Company recatdy discovered cracking on a spacer sleeve in

anther IHF model safety Injection pump. The sc sleeve consisted of 416 SS and was processed

under MDP bea treatment specfficaion HT 21". However, the spacer sleeve was taken from a

differe beat. which was beat 128144. Duke Power performed a failure analysis on the spacer sleeve

and determined that the failure mechanism was also sress corrosion cracking. Also, the failure

anuJysis indicated that the spacer sleeve's hardness made the sleeve marginally acceptable for service

In aqueous environments. A comparison of the Duke Power Failur analysis report and the IDP heat

treatm specification and beat material cerificadion for the spacer sleeve Is provided in Table 2.

'he existence of the caced spacer sleeve ad the data in Table 2 provide a basis to condude dta the

space sleeve is a defect as defined In 10 CFR 21. Fist, the measured microhardness of 33.39 Rc is

higher than the material certification value of 27 Rc. It Is less than 40 Rc. but oonetheless Is

marginally sugtible to strs corrosion cacking In aqueous enviromens. The bulk phase

hardness tinge Is somewhat higher than the material ceruficadon value, but it Is still widhin the heat

treatment specification tange of 27-32 Rc. Based on this information, It was concluded that all parts

used from heat 028144 could be susceptible to the same failure mechanism.

Rially, and as mentioned. Tabes I and 2 IndIca that there Is some difference between the bulk

phase hardness value and the material certification values. There are no apparent reasons for tise

differences. Furthermore, Tables I and 2 indicate that tee are sifican differences between the

bulk hardness and the m icardoes values. tere are no appaeu reasons for these differences;

however, It may be postulated that the differences ar attributable to Insufficient tempering. IDP has

lu This value was determined from the uncracded spacer sleva on the same pump. Both the

ucracked and cacked sleaves were taken from Het M814.

taken from beas #S899 and 121844.

Table 3 identfie Al pump pars that were orig lly supplied with a pump. aken from heat #IS899 and 28144 ad wbose faillre could prevent the applicable pump from petforming us Ided safety

function. Table 4 Ideifies the pan that were orig ly supplied with a pump, taken from beah

IS899 and 128144 and whose failure , preyeat the pump from performing its Intended

safety function. However, It Is ro ended that the pas in Table 4 be replaced as a prudent

maintace practe. Finlly. Table S identifies the replacement pump parts that were either supplied

or believed to have ben suplied from heat 15899 and 028144 and whose failure could prevent the

applicable pump from pedoazfoig Is inded safety fucion.

The sfety sgniflcance for the failure of each par identified In Tables 3, 4 and 5 Is provided as

follows. The failure of the pats in Tables 3 and S could prevent the pump from operating. For

Table 4. the part failure should ot prevent the pump from operating. More deiled Information for

the pans identified in Tables 3, 4 and S will be provided directly to each utility.

The pumps identified in Table 3 are all JHIF model safety injection pumps. These pumps are used

the intermediate head safety ijection system for the applicable plants. The loss of these pumps in

during the shor torm mitigation period of a loss of coolant accident (LCA) would impair the plant's

ability to mitigate the consequences of the LOCA. The loss of the pump (or pumps) would reduce

the overall flow to the core, which could create a condition that Is a substanzial safety hazard.

The pumps Identified in Table S include the Iltermediate head safety injection, auxiliary feedwater, and charging/safety iWection pumps. The Intermediate head pumps are discussed above. 'he

auxiliary feedwater pumps are used to provide feedwa;er to the steam generazors during certain

accident conditions. The loss of these pumps during a feedwater line break accident would impair the

plant's ability to recover from the break. The loss of the pump (or pumps) would reduce the

available secondary side cooling, which could create a condition that is a substantial safety hazard.

The chargWsafety injection pumps are used Inthe high head safety Injection system for the

applicable plants. 'Me loss of these pumps during the short tamn itgation phase of a LOCA would

impair the plant's ability to mtigate the consequences of the LOCA, especiaUy for a small break

LOCA. The loss of the pump (or pumps) would reduce the overall flow to the core, which could

create a condition tha Is a substanial safety hazard.

The folowing recotmiors are provided for this Issue.

1. Review Tables 3, 4 and S to daermine whether the plant has any parts that could be affected

by this failure meancsm. The parts Identified in Table 3 ad S are considered Wdecs as

defined in 10 CFR 21. Although the pans InTable 4 are not considered defects pursuant to

10 CFR 21, the pats in Table 4 should eventually be replaced as a prudent maintenance

practice since these pam are susceptible to the same fillure mechanism.

2. Compare the information for the part In Tables 3, 4 and S to determine whether the pan is

currea y installed on the pump. In me cae, this pan may have bern changed after the

par was supplied.

3. For paru in Table 3 ad 5, if it isdetermined da the pump part Is currectly insuloed on the

pump, de the folowi shoduld be considered. First. as Indicatd in Table s, if dte affected

part is a shaft sleeve compressio mm or a shaft sleeve collar, the part can be Wnspected for

cracifg without diassemby of the pump.

Alternatively. if the affected part can not be ispected without dissembly of dhe pump ad

it is ot practical to immediately disasumble the pump, then th pump operating history

should be reviewed relative to the edanism for sws corosion crackig. Te mechanism

for nress corrosion crackig is dependent upon several fictors including, but ao limited to.

the amounr of sress placed on the part, the time the part is exposed to that stress, the time

exposed to an aqueous enviromen agd die physica dimensions of the part. By reviewing

these (aors. it may be possible to deaonsate dutt the pat filure is not imminent andlor

dt the part will not fai In a manner hat will preven the pump from performng ts Intended

safety function. However, It Is ultimately recommended that the pan be replace with the

part curreay rommded by IDP.

The above information is being concurrently trasmitted to affected utilities via supplement to

Westinghouse letter NSAL.94-023.

< May 31, 1995 Discussion

As noted in the attached Westinghouse Part 21 report, the suspect parts are

used in intermediate-head safety injection pumps, auxiliary feedwater pumps, and charging/high-head safety injection pumps in various plants. The defect

in these pump parts, if not corrected, could result in pump failure. The loss

of these pumps during a design-basis accident could affect accident

mitigation.

Some of these affected pumps have been in operation for more than 10 years.

Because of the importance of these pumps to plant safety, Westinghouse has

recommended that the affected pump parts be replaced with the parts currently

recommended by IDP.

An IDP safety injection pump (model "JTCH") failed during a post-maintenance

test at Indian Point Unit 3 on February 19, 1995. Inspection of the internal

components of the pump revealed that the locknut on the outboard shaft had

backed off about 6.35 mm [0.25 inch]. The loosened locknut allowed the pump

impellers to move axially, and allowed them to rub against the stationary

diffusers and the casing, and ultimately resulted in pump failure. Although

the root cause of this failure is unrelated to the problem reported by

Westinghouse, a similar pump failure could occur if the locknut on the

pressure-reducing sleeve, mentioned in the Westinghouse Part 21 report, failed.
