L-2006-181 Attachment 1 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 RELIEF REQUEST NOS. 1A. 14A. AND 15A DOCKET NOS. 50-250 AND 50-251 General:
- 1. Relief Requests 1A, 14A and 15A Indicate that the third 10-year Inservice Inspection (ISI) Interval ended February 21, 2004, for Unit 3 and April 14, 2004, for Unit 4. By letter dated October 20, 2004, the NRC authorized extension of the third 10-year Interval to February 21, 2005, for Unit 3 and to April 14, 2005, for Unit 4. Please Indicate the proper end dates for the Unit 3 and Unit 4 third 10-year ISI Intervals.
FPL Response to Question 1:
For both Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 the third 10-year Inservice Inspection Interval included 1 year extension.
Specifically, for Unit 3, the interval began on February 22, 1994 and ended February 21, 2005. Respectively, for Unit 4, the interval began on April 15, 1994 and ended April 14, 2005. These dates are referenced in attached Relief Requests 1A, 14A, and 15A.
The one year extension to 2005 was based on the provision of ASME Section XI, 1989 Edition, IWA 2430, No Addenda. FPL and NRC discussed this extension in a telecon and subsequently, FPL notified the Staff by letters L-2002-125, dated June 26, 2002, and L-2003-158, dated June 20, 2003 for Units 3 and 4, respectively.
For clarification, the above referenced October 20, 2004 NRC letter did not directly authorize the extension of the Third 10-year Inservice Inspection interval. Rather, it simply provided the approval of Relief Request 34, Alternative Through-Wall Sizing Requirements For Implementation of Appendix VIII, Supplement 10" and Relief Request 35 "Alternative Ultrasonic Examination For The Reactor Flange-To-Upper Shell Welds Using PDI Demonstrated Techniques". It was the FPL notification letter noted above that documented the Third 10-year Inservice Inspection Interval extension. Itshould be noted that the extension of the Third 10-year Inservice Inspection Interval will not result in an extension of the Fourth 10-year Inservice Inspection Interval for either unit.
Relief Request 1A:
- 2. In Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) letter dated February 20, 2006, It Is stated the objective of Relief Request 1A Is to resubmit the previously approved Relief Request No.1. The request also states that this revision submits the examination volume coverage obtained during the third 10-year ISI Interval Inspection. In comparing Relief Request 1 with Relief Request 1 A, the upper shell-to-flange weld Is Included In both requests. Welds 3-DO-A, 3-DO-B, 3-DO-C, 4-DO-A, 4-DO-B, 4-DO-C are Included In Relief Request 1, but they are not Included In relief request 1A. Relief Request 1A contains additional examinations that had limited coverage, welds 3-WR-9 and 4-WR-9 and the 1-inch annular surface of flange surrounding each reactor vessel stud hole.
Does Relief Request 1A supersede Relief Request 1, or is it in addition to Relief Request 1? If Relief Request 1A Is to supersede Relief Request 1, was essentially full coverage obtained on welds 3-DO-A, 3-DO-B, 3-DO-C, 4-DO-A, 4-DO-B, 4-DO-C? If relief request 1A Is to be in addition to relief request 1, is the request for relief with regard to welds 3-WR-18 and 4-WR-18 any different than the request for relief made under Relief Request I (other than 71 percent coverage was obtained vs. 68 percent projected)?
FPL Response to Question 2:
Relief Request 1A supersedes Relief Request 1. Greater than 90 percent coverage was obtained for welds 3-DO-A, 3-DO-B, 3-DO-C, 4-DO-A, 4-DO-B, 4-DO-C outlet nozzles for Unit 3 and Unit 4.
The request for relief for the WR-18 weld in Relief Request 1A is the same as in Relief Request 1.
L-2006-181 Attachment 1
- 3. Relief Request IA states that the examination of the Figure 1 IWB-2500-12 A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H volume is limited when scanning the carbon steel base material surrounding the stud holes due to the sealing surfaces configuration. Please explain how the sealing surfaces configuration limits access to the required examination volume, and whether any alternate scanning angles can be used to achieve coverage in this area.
FPL Response to Question 3:
As shown in Figure 3 of the Relief Request 1A, there is a step down groove (sealing surface) where the o-ring fits on the vessel in the area that is limited. This area has uneven surfaces that do not allow for examination to be performed. This examination is performed by scanning a 0-degree transducer around the stud holes on the RPV Flange. The smallest diameter transducer (1/2") allowed by the procedure was used for the examination.
Alternate scanning angles would not achieve any additional coverage.
Relief Request 14A
- 4. FPL letter dated February 20, 2006 states the objective of Relief Requests 14A and 15A is to resubmit the previously approved Relief Request 14 and 15 for Class I and 2 vessel Inside radius, vessel welds, and piping welds that did not receive code required volume. In comparing Relief Request 14 and Relief Request 14A, there are 4 components (29"-RCS-1305-3, 8"-SI-2309-22, 8"-SI-2309-24, and 6"-BDA-2301-
- 8) that are listed In Relief Request 14 but not in Relief Request 14A. Please explain why the 4 components are not Included in Relief Request 14A.
FPL Response to Question 4:
Welds 8"-SI-2309-22 and 8"-2309-24 were removed in Relief Request 14A because two additional welds with no limitations in the C-F-1 category were examined during the interval. As a result, the welds with the worst case limitations were moved to augmented status.
Removal of welds 6"-BDA-2301-8 and 29"-RCS-1305-3 was in error. They will be added back into Relief Request 14A.
- 5. In Relief Request 14, component 3-SRGN-01-IR is listed under examination category B-D, item No.
B3.120, which is applicable to the Pressurizer. In Relief Request 14A, component 3-SRGN-01-IR is listed as applicable to examination category B-D, item No. B3.140. Please explain this change in classification of component 3-SRGN-01-IR.
FPL Response to Question 5:
This is a typographical error. The examination category is B-D, Item No. B3.120.
- 6. Table 1 Identifies the applicable code requirement for component "Spray Nozzle-SP-03-1-IR" as examination category B-D, item No. B3.140, which is applicable to steam generators. Please clarify whether this is a pressurizer spray nozzle or If it is applicable to steam generators.
FPL Response to Question 6:
This is a typographical error. This is the Pressurizer Spray Nozzle. The examination category is B-D, Item No.
B3.120.
L-2006-181 Attachment 1
- 7. Table 1 of Relief Request 14A Indicates 66-percent coverage from the elbow side for component 31"-
RCS-1302-10 was achieved. Relief Request 14 Indicates 75-percent coverage from the elbow side for component 31 "-RCS-1302-10 was achieved. Please explain the difference in coverage reported between the FPL August 8, 1996, letter and the February 20, 2006, letter.
FPL Response to Question 7:
When calculating the coverage for weld 31"-RCS-1 303-10, it was noticed that the CRV coverage was less than the previously calculated volume for weld 31 "-RCS-1302-10 with the same configuration. Upon further evaluation, it was determined that the weld scanned in 1998 had the CRV calculated with the rules from PDI and the weld scanned in 1994 had the original CRV calculated with the rules prior to PDI. The original calculation for weld 31"-RCS-1302-10 as presented in Relief Request 14 is correct based on the techniques in place at the time of the examination.
- 8. Describe any flaws or relevant Indications Identified adjacent to the areas that could not be examined.
FPL Response to Question 8:
There were no relevant indications or flaws identified adjacent to the areas that could not be examined.
Relief Request 15A:
- 9. Describe any flaws or relevant Indications Identified adjacent to the areas that could not be examined.
FPL Response to Question 9:
There were no relevant indications or flaws identified adjacent to the areas that could not be examined.

--Inservice Inspection Impracticality--
- 1. ASME Code Component(s) Affected Class 1 pressure retaining welds in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV).
- 2. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components, Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda.
- 3. Aopplicable Code Requirement Exam Item No.. Examination Requirements Cat.
B-A B1.21 Essentially 100% volumetric examination of all circumferential head welds.
B-A B1.30 Essentially 100% volumetric examination of the shell to flange weld.
B-G-1 B6.40 Essentially 100% volumetric examination of the 1 inch annular surface of flange surrounding each stud hole.
As defined by 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A)(2) and ASME Code Case N-460, essentially 100%
means more than 90% of the examination volume of each weld where reduction in coverage is due to interference by another component or part geometry.
- 4. Impracticality of Compliance Due to the configuration of the Reactor Vessel, it is impractical to meet the examination coverage requirements of the ASME Code, Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda, as clarified by Code Case N-460. Relief is requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii). These areas were found during the 3rd 10-year inservice inspection interval.
When examined, the welds or surfaces listed within this request did not receive the required code volume coverage due to their configuration and/or the presence of permanent attachments.
These scanning limitations prohibit essentially 100% ultrasonic examination coverage of the required examination volume.
Described below, coupled with figures, are details of the examination limitations by weld or examination description. The accompanying figures graphically depict the extent of the limitations.
RPV Lower Head Ring-to-Bottom Head Weld (3-WR-9 and 4-WR-9)
L-2006-1 81 Attachment 2 Page 2 of 8 TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 1A (Revised) Rev 1 Examination Category B-A, Item B13.21 The examination of the Figure IWB-2500-3 A-B-C-D volume is limited due to the proximity of the instrumentation tubes. Access to approximately 17% of the examination volume is restricted. The remaining 83% of the examination volume was examined with techniques which have been qualified by demonstration in accordance with Supplements 4 & 6 of the 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of the ASME Code Section XI, Appendix VIII, using the Performance Demonstration Initiative Protocol. This weld was examined from both sides of the weld, scanning both parallel and perpendicular to the weld. The ultrasonic examination identified no recordable indications.
The mechanized scanning of the lower head ring-to-lower head welds 3-WR-9 and 4-WR-9 are limited due to interference from the instrumentation tubes. Figure 1 provides an illustration of the weld volume limitation due to the instrumentation tubes.
RPV Upper Shell-to-Flange Weld (3-WR-18 and 4-WR-18)
Examination Category B-A, Item B13.30 The examination of the Figure IWB-2500-4 A-B-C-D volume is limited due to the Keyways and Irradiation Slots. Access to approximately 29% of the examination volume is restricted. The remaining 71% of the examination volume was examined with ASME Code acceptable techniques. Additionally, the mechanized techniques employed for examination from the RPV inside surface have also been qualified by demonstration in accordance with Supplements 4 & 6 of the 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of the ASME Code Section Xl, Appendix VIII, using the Performance Demonstration Initiative Protocol.
This weld was examined from both sides of the weld, scanning both parallel and perpendicular. The ultrasonic examination did not reveal any recordable or reportable flaws in accordance with the ASME Code Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda.
The upper shell-to-flange weld 3-WR-18 and 4-WR-18 is examined from the shell side and from the flange seal surface. The examination performed from the flange seal surface was not limited by configuration. Figure 2 shows the inside surface scan limitations and the location of the areas of incomplete coverage to the mechanized scanning due to the presence of the keyways and Irradiation slots.
RPV Threads in Flange (3-Lig-1 thru 58 and 4-Lig-1 thru 58)
Examination Category B-G-1, Item B6.40 The examination of the Figure IWB-2500-12 A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H volume is limited when scanning the carbon steel base material surrounding the stud holes due to the sealing surfaces configuration. Access to approximately 15.33% of the examination volume is restricted. The remaining 84.67% of the examination volume was examined with ASME Code acceptable techniques. The ultrasonic examination did not reveal any recordable or reportable flaws in accordance with the ASME Code Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda.
The manual scanning of the 1 inch annulus surface around the RPV flange stud hole 3-Lig 1- 58 and 4-Ligl thru 58 is performed from the RPV flange surface. Figure 3 provides an illustration of the RPV flange surface limitation due to interference from the sealing surface configuration. There is a step-down groove on the flange surface where the 0-ring fits. This causes an unparallel surface to perform the 0-degree examination.

- 5. Burden Caused by Compliance It is not possible to obtain ultrasonic interrogation of greater than 90% of the required examination volume due to interference caused by configuration and/or permanent attachments.
Examinations are performed to the maximum extent possible. The Ultrasonic (UT) techniques for each weld or surface were reviewed to determine if additional coverage could be achieved. For the welds or surfaces listed above, it was not possible to remove the obstruction without significant work, increased radiation exposure, and/or damage to the plant.
- 6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative
- 1) Periodic system pressure tests in accordance with ASME Section XI Category B-P, Table IWB-2500-1.
- 2) Conduct ultrasonic examinations to the maximum extent possible.
Basis FPL performed inservice examinations of selected welds and surfaces in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.55a, plant technical specifications, and the 1989 Edition, No Addenda, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl. When a component has conditions, which limit the examination volume, Florida Power and Light is required to submit the information to the enforcement and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction at the plant site. This Relief Request has been written to address areas where those types of conditions exist and the required amount of coverage was reduced below the minimum acceptable.
FPL performed mechanized ultrasonic examinations of the reactor vessel during the Unit 3 October 2004 and Unit 4 April 2005 refueling outage.
10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) recognizes that throughout the service life of a nuclear power facility, components which are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 must meet the requirements set forth in the ASME Code to the extent practical within the limitations of design, geometry and materials of construction of the components.
By letter dated July 22, 2004, and supplemented August 19, 2004, FPL submitted relief request
- 35 to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The purpose of the relief request was to obtain permission to implement an alternative from certain provisions of the ASME Code, Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda, contained in the 3rd 10-year interval inservice inspection (ISI) program. FPL proposed supplementing the ASME Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda, Appendix I examination from the flange surface with the examination from the reactor vessel inside surface using procedures, equipment, and personnel qualified by demonstration to perform remote mechanized examination of the reactor vessel flange-to-shell weld from the inside surface in accordance with ASME Code 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda,Section XI, Appendix VII, Supplements 4 and 6, in lieu of Section V, Article 4 requirements. The NRC authorized the proposed alternative by letter dated October 20, 2004 (TAC NO. MC3891). The accessible areas of the shell weld were examined with personnel, equipment and procedures that were qualified by demonstration in accordance with Supplements 4 and 6 of the 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of the ASME Code, Section Xl, Appendix VIII, using the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI) protocol. These examinations were performed from both sides of the welds, scanning both parallel and perpendicular to the weld to the maximum extent possible. The examinations
L-2006-181 Attachment 2 Page 4 of 8 TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER IA (Revised) Rev 1 performed utilizing demonstrated and qualified techniques provided an equivalent or better examination than the requirements of the 1989 Edition, No Addenda, of ASME Section Xl.
FPL performed ultrasonic examinations of the remaining reactor vessel welds in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a, plant technical specifications, and the 1989 Edition, No Addenda, of ASME Section Xl to the maximum extent possible. Additionally, the mechanized techniques employed for examination from the RPV inside surface have also been demonstrated in accordance with Supplements 4 & 6 of the 1995 Edition, 1996 Addenda of the ASME Code Section Xl, Appendix VIII, using the Performance Demonstration Initiative Protocol.
NRC letter dated March 31, 1995 (TAC NO. M87725 and M87726) approved the initial submittal of relief request #1. The previous submittal of the relief request was based upon the techniques utilized and the limitations encountered during the examination during the 2'r 10-year inservice inspection interval and detailed the anticipated examination volume coverage for the examinations performed during the 3 rd 10-year inservice inspection interval examinations. This revision submits the examination volume coverage obtained during the 3 rd 10-year inservice inspection interval inspection.
In addition to the required ultrasonic examination, the interior of the reactor vessel, including welded attachments, received a visual examination in accordance with Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Categories B-N-i, B-N-2 and B-N-3. The visual examinations revealed no relevant indications.
The subject welds were examined in the 2nd interval during the 10-year reactor vessel examination. These examinations did not reveal any recordable or reportable flaws during the previous examination.
The extent of examination volume achieved ultrasonically, the alternate scans performed, and the system pressure tests provide assurance of an acceptable level of quality and safety.

As defined by ASME Code Case N-460, essentially 100% means more than 90% of the examination volume of each weld where reduction in coverage is due to interference by another component or part geometry.
L-2006-181 Attachment 3 Page 2 of 27 TURKEY POINT UNIT 3 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 14A (Revised) Rev 1
- 4. Impracticality of Compliance Due to the configuration of the welds included within this relief request, it is impractical to meet the examination coverage requirements of the ASME Code, Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda, as clarified by Code Case N-460. Relief is requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii). These areas were found during the 3rd 10-year inservice inspection interval.
When a component has conditions, which limit the examination volume, Florida Power and Light is required to submit the information to the enforcement and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction at the plant site.
This Relief Request has been written to address areas where those types of conditions exist and the required amount of coverage was reduced below the minimum acceptable.
When examined, the welds listed within this request did not receive the required code volume coverage due to their configuration and/or the presence of permanent attachments. These scanning limitations prohibit essentially 100% ultrasonic examination coverage of the required examination volume.
The Table 1 summarizes the percent of coverage achieved and references specific figures that show the extent of coverage. Arrows and lines on the figures illustrate the UT transducer beam direction and extent of the area examined.
Relief is requested from the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code required volume as identified in Figure IWB-2500-7, 8, and 10 and IWC-2500-1 and 7, as applicable.
- 5. Burden Caused By Compliance Examinations are performed to the maximum extent possible. The ultrasonic (UT) techniques for each weld were reviewed to determine if additional coverage could be achieved. If practical, physical obstructions were removed. For the welds listed within Table 1, it was not possible to remove the obstruction without significant work, increased radiation exposure, and/or damage to the plant. Additional weld preparation by welding or metal removal is a modification of the examination area requiring significant engineering and construction personnel support. Increased radiation exposure and cost would be incurred in order to perform these modifications.
Radiography is impractical due to the amount of work being performed in the areas on a 24-hour basis.
This would result in numerous work-related stoppages and increased exposure due to the shutdown of and startup of other work in the areas. The water must be drained from systems where radiography is performed, which increases the radiation dose rates over a much broader area than the weld being examined. There would be significant burden associated with the performance of weld or area modifications or radiography in order to increase the examination coverage.
- 6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative
- 1) Surface examination per category B-F, B-J, C-F-1 and C-F-2.
- 2) Conduct ultrasonic examinations to the maximum extent possible.
- 3) Periodic system pressure tests in accordance with ASME Section XI Category B-P, Table IWB-2500-1 and Category C-H, Table IWC-2500-1.
L-2006-181 Attachment 3 Page 3 of 27 TURKEY POINT UNIT 3 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 14A (Revised) Rev 1 Basis FPL performed inservice examinations of selected welds in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.55a, plant technical specifications, and the 1989 Edition, no addenda, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl. When a component has conditions, which limit the examination volume, Florida Power and Light is required to submit the information to the enforcement and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction at the plant site. This Relief Request has been written to address areas where those types of conditions exist and the required amount of coverage was reduced below the minimum acceptable.
It is not possible to obtain ultrasonic interrogation of greater than 90% of the required examination volume due to interference caused by configuration and/or permanent attachments. Configuration, permanent attachments and/or structural interferences prohibit 100% ultrasonic examination of Code required volume.
Additional ultrasonic techniques are employed where practical to achieve the code-required volume. The Table 1 summarizes the percent of coverage achieved and references specific figures that show the extent of coverage. Arrows and lines on the figures illustrate the UT transducer beam direction and extent of the area examined.
For examinations performed prior to the expedited implementation of Appendix VIII, Supplements 2 and 3 (May 22, 2000), the ultrasonic testing (UT) techniques for each weld were reviewed to determine if additional coverage could have been achieved. FPL's procedures require the examiner to consider whether additional coverage is necessary and practical. Those alternate techniques were investigated at the time of discovery. The alternate techniques considered were extending the calibration distance and/or using additional beam angles or modes. This has often provided the additional coverage needed to avoid relief. Using additional UT techniques on the weld examination areas in this relief request would have provided little or no additional coverage. The coverage obtained was the maximum practical.
For examinations performed after the 10 CFR 50.55a required expedited implementation of Appendix VII, supplements 2 and 3 (May 22, 2000), the ultrasonic testing (UT) was performed utilizing personnel qualified and procedures demonstrated in accordance with the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI) program.
In the cases where austenitic materials were examined (Code Category B-J and C-F-i), the credited volumetric examination of the weld required volume (WRV) is limited when access can only be obtained from one side. It should be noted that the volumetric examination was performed through 100% of the Code WRV; however, the PDI Appendix VIII procedure used is not qualified for the detection of flaws on the far side of the single sided access examinations of austenitic piping welds. The techniques employed for the single sided examinations provided for a best effort examination. The coverage obtained was the maximum practical.
The required surface examinations were performed and were not limited. In all cases, 100 percent of the code required surface area was examined. These surface and volumetric examinations did not reveal any recordable or reportable flaws in the examination zone or adjacent to any volumetric limitations in accordance with the ASME Code Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda.
For Category B-F, the Class 1 dissimilar metal piping welds have carbon steel nozzles buttered with stainless steel and field welded to forged stainless steel or cast stainless steel components with stainless steel weld material. All dissimilar metal weld examinations were performed prior to the expedited implementation of Appendix VIII, Supplements 10 (November 22, 2002). The ultrasonic testing (UT) techniques for each weld were reviewed to determine if additional coverage could have been achieved.
FPL's procedures require the examiner to consider whether additional coverage is necessary and practical.
Those alternate techniques were investigated at the time of discovery. The alternate techniques considered were extending the calibration distance and/or using additional beam angles or modes. This has often provided the additional coverage needed to avoid relief. Using additional UT techniques on the weld examination areas in this relief request would have provided little or no additional coverage. The coverage obtained was the maximum practical.
L-2006-181 Attachment 3 Page 4 of 27 TURKEY POINT UNIT 3 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 14A (Revised) Rev 1 FPL performed the examinations to the extent possible. Operations personnel and system engineers perform walk downs of every system on a periodic basis looking for leakage or other abnormal conditions.
Surface and volumetric examinations performed, along with the required system pressure tests, provide reasonable assurance of an acceptable level of quality and safety.
10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) recognizes that throughout the service life of a nuclear power facility, components, which are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3, must meet the requirements set forth in the ASME Code to the extent practical within the limitations of design, geometry and materials of construction of the components.
The extent of examination volume achieved ultrasonically and the alternate scans performed (reference Table 1) coupled with the system pressure tests provide assurance of an acceptable level of quality and safety.

As defined by ASME Code Case N-460, essentially 100% means more than 90% of the examination volume of each weld where reduction in coverage is due to interference by another component or part geometry.
L-2006-181 Attachment 4 Page 2 of 32 TURKEY POINT UNIT 4 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 15A (Revised) Rev 1
- 4. Impracticality of Compliance Due to the configuration of the welds included within this relief request, it is impractical to meet the examination coverage requirements of the ASME Code, Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda, as clarified by Code Case N-460. Relief is requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii). These areas were found during the 3rd 10-year inservice inspection interval.
When a component has conditions, which limit the examination volume, Florida Power and Light is required to submit the information to the enforcement and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction at the plant site. This Relief Request has been written to address areas where those types of conditions exist and the required amount of coverage was reduced below the minimum acceptable.
When examined, the welds listed within this request did not receive the required code volume coverage due to their configuration and/or the presence of permanent attachments. These scanning limitations prohibit essentially 100% ultrasonic examination coverage of the required examination volume.
The Table 1 summarizes the percent of coverage achieved and references specific figures that show the extent of coverage. Arrows and lines on the figures illustrate the UT transducer beam direction and extent of the area examined.
Relief is requested from the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code required volume as identified in Figure IWB-2500-7 through 10 and IWC-2500 1, 4 and 7, as applicable.
- 5. Burden Caused By Compliance Examinations are performed to the maximum extent possible. The ultrasonic (UT) techniques for each weld were reviewed to determine if additional coverage could be achieved. If practical, physical obstructions were removed. For the welds listed within Table 1, it was not possible to remove the obstruction without significant work, increased radiation exposure, and/or damage to the plant.
Additional weld preparation by welding or metal removal is a modification of the examination area requiring significant engineering and construction personnel support. Increased radiation exposure and cost would be incurred in order to perform these modifications.
Radiography is impractical due to the amount of work being performed in the areas on a 24-hour basis. This would result in numerous work-related stoppages and increased exposure due to the shutdown of and startup of other work in the areas. The water must be drained from systems where radiography is performed, increases the radiation dose rates over a much broader area than the weld being examined. There would be significant burden associated with the performance of weld or area modifications or radiography in order to increase the examination coverage.
- 6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative
- 1) Surface examination per category B-F, B-J, C-B, and C-F-1
- 2) Conduct ultrasonic examinations to the maximum extent possible.
- 3) Periodic system pressure tests in accordance with ASME Section XI Category B-P, Table IWB-2500-1 and Category C-H, Table IWC-2500-1.
L-2006-181 Attachment 4 Page 3 of 32 TURKEY POINT UNIT 4 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 15A (Revised) Rev 1 Basis FPL performed inservice examinations of selected welds in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.55a, plant technical specifications, and the 1989 Edition, no addenda, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl. When a component has conditions, which limit the examination volume, Florida Power and Light is required to submit the information to the enforcement and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction at the plant site. This Relief Request has been written to address areas where those types of conditions exist and the required amount of coverage was reduced below the minimum acceptable.
It is not possible to obtain ultrasonic interrogation of greater than 90% of the required examination volume due to interference caused by configuration and/or permanent attachments. Configuration, permanent attachments and/or structural interferences prohibit 100% ultrasonic examination of Code required volume. Additional ultrasonic techniques are employed where practical to achieve the code-required volume. The Table 1 summarizes the percent of coverage achieved and references specific figures that show the extent of coverage. Arrows and lines on the figures illustrate the UT transducer beam direction and extent of the area examined.
For examinations performed prior to the expedited implementation of Appendix VIII, Supplements 2 and 3 (May 22, 2000), the ultrasonic testing (UT) techniques for each weld were reviewed to determine ifadditional coverage could have been achieved. FPL's procedures require the examiner to consider whether additional coverage is necessary and practical. Those alternate techniques were investigated at the time of discovery. The alternate techniques considered were extending the calibration distance and/or using additional beam angles or modes. This has often provided the additional coverage needed to avoid relief. Using additional UT techniques on the weld examination areas in this relief request would have provided little or no additional coverage. The coverage obtained was the maximum practical.
For examinations performed after the 10 CFR 50.55a required expedited implementation of Appendix VII, supplements 2 and 3 (May 22, 2000), the ultrasonic testing (UT) was performed utilizing personnel qualified and procedures demonstrated in accordance with the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI) program. In the cases where austenitic materials were examined (Code Category B-J and C-F-1, the credited volumetric examination of the weld required volume (WRV) is limited when access can only be obtained from one side. It should be noted that the volumetric examination was performed through 100% of the Code WRV, however, the PDI Appendix ViII procedure used is not qualified for the detection of flaws on the far side of the single sided access examinations of austenitic piping welds. The techniques employed for the single sided examinations provided for a best effort examination. The coverage obtained was the maximum practical.
The required surface examinations were performed and were not limited. In all cases, 100 percent of the code required surface area was examined. These surface and volumetric examinations did not reveal any recordable or reportable flaws in the examination zone or adjacent to any volumetric limitations in accordance with the ASME Code Section Xl, 1989 Edition, No Addenda.
For Category B-F, the Class 1 dissimilar metal piping welds have carbon steel nozzles buttered with stainless steel and field welded to forged stainless steel or cast stainless steel components with stainless steel weld material. All dissimilar metal weld examinations were performed prior to the expedited implementation of Appendix VIII, Supplements 10 (November 22, 2002). The ultrasonic testing (UT) techniques for each weld were reviewed to determine if additional coverage could have been achieved. FPL's procedures require the examiner to consider whether additional coverage is necessary and practical. Those alternate techniques were investigated at the time of discovery. The alternate techniques considered were extending the calibration distance and/or using additional beam angles or modes. This has often provided the additional coverage needed to avoid relief. Using
L-2006-181 Attachment 4 Page 4 of 32 TURKEY POINT UNIT 4 THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER 15A (Revised) Rev 1 additional UT techniques on the weld examination areas in this relief request would have provided little or no additional coverage. The coverage obtained was the maximum practical.
FPL performed the examinations to the extent possible. Operations personnel and system engineers perform walk downs of every system on a periodic basis looking for leakage or other abnormal conditions. Surface and volumetric examinations performed, along with the required system pressure tests; provide reasonable assurance of an acceptable level of quality and safety.
10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) recognizes that throughout the service life of a nuclear power facility, components, which are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3, must meet the requirements set forth in the ASME Code to the extent practical within the limitations of design, geometry and materials of construction of the components.
The extent of examination volume achieved ultrasonically and the alternate scans performed (see Table 1) coupled with the system pressure tests provide assurance of an acceptable level of quality and safety.
