Subject:
Relief Request Pertaining to Reactor Vessel Nozzle Inspections for Third 10-Year Interval In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i), FCS is requesting relief for the third ten-year interval from inservice inspection requirements of the 1989 Edition no Addenda,Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for the surface examination of Class 1, Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) nozzle-to-safe end welds. The examination requirement is for a surface and volumetric examination of ASME Section XI, Examination Category B-F, "Pressure Retaining Dissimilar Metal Welds", Item No. B5. 10, "Reactor Vessel NPS 4 or Larger."
FCS proposes to implement the requirements consistent with ASME Code Case N-615, "Ultrasonic Examination as a Surface Examination Method for Category B-F and B-J Piping Welds." FCS would implement the Code Case N-615 for the surface examinations for the six (6)
Reactor Pressure Vessel nozzle-to-safe end dissimilar metal welds, category B-F, item B5.10 for nozzle inspections performed during the 2003 refueling outage.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790, OPPD requests that the proprietary information herein be withheld from public disclosure. Framatome ANP, NC considers this information to be proprietary as justified in the supporting affidavit (Attachment B). Attachments C and D are the Framatome proprietary documents. The non-proprietary versions of Attachments C and D, Attachments E and F, and Attachments C and D with the proprietary information enclosed in brackets are in preparation and will be submitted separately by November 24, 2003.

LIC-03-0146 Attachment A Page 2 ISI Relief Request RR-9 Use of Code Case N-615 Surface Examination Method for RPV Nozzle-to-Safe End Welds System: Reactor Vessel Class 1 Category: B-F Item No.: B5.10 ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS:
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i), FCS is requesting relief for the third ten-year interval from inservice inspection requirements of the 1989 Edition no Addenda,Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for the surface examination of Class 1, Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) nozzle-to-safe end welds. The examination requirement is for a surface and volumetric examination of ASME Section XI, Examination Category B-F, "Pressure Retaining Dissimilar Metal Welds", Item No. B5.10, "Reactor Vessel NPS 4 or Larger."
FCS proposes to implement the requirements consistent with ASME Code Case N-615, "Ultrasonic Examination as a Surface Examination Method for Category B-F and B-J Piping Welds." FCS would implement the Code Case N-615 for the surface examinations for the six (6) Reactor Pressure Vessel nozzle-to-safe end dissimilar metal welds, category B-F, item B5.10 for nozzle inspections performed during the 2003 refueling outage.
JUSTIFICATION FOR GRANTING RELIEF The Ultrasonic examination techniques utilized for this examination are qualified by demonstration to meet the requirements of Code Case N-615. The use of these qualified techniques assures that the dissimilar metal welds remain free of service related flaws thus enhancing quality and ensuring plant safety and reliability.
The work required to support these surface examinations without implementing Code Case N-615 includes labor to remove/replace the cover plates over the six (6) reactor nozzles, and labor to remove/replace the sand above the nozzles. The surface inspections of the outside weld surfaces are limited due to the tight space and no access to the very bottom of the welds. The area dose rate is estimated to be about 120 mr/hr with the head on. The dose in the cavity surrounding the nozzles is unknown. An ex-core detector was removed from one of the nozzle boxes last outage and read 40,000 mr/hr. The surface dose rate near the welds would be very close to these detectors. Therefore, the implementation of this Code Case reduces the radiation exposure by several man-rem while providing an acceptable level of quality and safety.

Background
The qualification documentation and the procedure for the qualification of the Ultrasonic Examination Technique used at the Fort Calhoun Station during the 2003 refueling outage to perform the surface examinations of the reactor vessel B-F welds are included in Attachment B and Attachment C respectively.
The ultrasonic examinations were performed during the fall 2003 refueling outage and no surface indications were identified.
