--Inservice Inspection Impracticality--

1. ASME Code Component(s) Affected The Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) Class 1 and 2 components with limited examinations that are included in this request for relief are for the Third Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval. The content of this request includes the insights gained from guidance provided in Reference 1 and the following Code Classes, Examination Categories, and Item Numbers apply.

Code Classes: 1 and 2 Examination Categories: B-A, B-D, B-P, C-A, C-G, and R-A Item Numbers: B1.12, B1.30, B3.90, B3.100, B15.10, C1.10, C6.10, and R1.20-4

2. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda The HCGS third interval Inservice Inspection (ISI) program was based on ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI, Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components, 2001 Edition through 2003 Addenda (Reference 2), as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a. The Appendix VIII requirements and use of the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI) requirements at HCGS were in accordance with the 2001 Edition of Section XI (Reference

3) for the limited examinations contained in this request as conditioned by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv) and 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxiv).

The HCGS Third Ten-Year ISI Interval ended on December 12, 2017.

3. Applicable Code Requirements Exam Item No.

Class 1 Weld Examination Coverage Requirements Cat.

B-A B1.12 To include essentially 100% examination of the Reactor Vessel Longitudinal Shell Welds.

C-A C1.10 To include essentially 100% examination of the Residual Heat Exchanger Shell-to-Flange Weld C-G C6.10 To include 100% examination of the all welds in one pump of each group of pumps.

Exam Item No.

Class 1 and Class 2 Piping Welds / Risk-Informed Inservice Cat.

Inspection Program Coverage Requirements R-A R1.20-4 To include essentially 100% of the examination location with no degradation mechanism.

As previously defined in 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A)(2), now removed, and Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 17 (Reference 4), ASME Code Case N-460 (Reference 5) was invoked for the required coverage associated with the welds in this request and states that essentially 100%

equates to more than 90% of the examination volume or required surface area of each weld where the reduction in coverage is due to interference by another component or part geometry.

Limited Class 1 and Class 2 Piping Welds / Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection Programs Class 1 and Class 2 piping welds selected for examination during the third interval under the Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection (RI-ISI) Programs used for HCGS were examined in accordance with EPRI Topical Report TR-112657, Rev. B-A methodology (Reference 7) which was supplemented by ASME Code Case N-578-1 (Reference 8) and included the piping welds (elements) selected for examination under Examination Category R-A. The use of these documents for HCGS was based on a request for an alternative HC-I3R-01 that was authorized for use per Reference 9.

Page 2 of 8

RI-ISI Program Limited Examination Evaluations When limited piping weld examinations are identified under EPRI TR-112657 Rev. B-A supplemented by Code Case N-578-1 RI-ISI Programs, an evaluation is performed with consideration given to whether a new weld location should be selected for examination to make-up for these limited examinations. However, since the initial RI-ISI piping weld selections were based on consequence, failure probability, potential degradation mechanisms and the design of the welds were all similar (i.e., Fitting to Fitting, Fitting to Valve, Fitting to Pipe or located just inside a piping penetration) for examination under these parameters, it was determined that no or very little additional coverage could be obtained by selecting another weld with these same selection criteria. Thus, no other RI-ISI piping weld was selected for the limited examination identified in Attachment 1 for the RI-ISI piping weld examined in the third interval.

4. Impracticality of Compliance The construction permit for HCGS was issued on November 4, 1974 and falls under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(3), which were applied to components (including supports) that must meet the requirements of paragraphs (g)(4) and (g)(5) to the extent practical.

Components that are part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary and their supports must meet the requirements applicable to components that are classified as ASME Code Class 1.

Components that are classified as ASME Code Class 2 and 3 must be designed and provided with access to enable the performance of inservice examination of these components and must meet the preservice examination requirements. Therefore, although the design of the plants has provided access for examinations to the extent practical, component design configurations resulting in examination limitations such as those from support interference, geometric configurations of welds and materials such as fitting or valve bodies made of cast stainless steel may not allow the full required examination volume or surface area coverage with the latest techniques available. A typical example of such a condition is a valve-to-pipe weld where essentially 100% of the code required volume cannot be examined from the valve side of the weld and where a plant modification would be needed to provide this coverage. Details of examination restrictions and reductions in required examination coverage are provided in .

When examined, the welds listed in Attachment 1 of this request did not receive the required code volume or surface area coverage due to their component design configurations or interference by other items. These conditions resulted in scanning or surface area access limitations that prohibited obtaining essentially 100% examination coverage of the required examination volumes or surface areas, but when this situation occurred 100% coverage of the accessible volumes or surface areas of each weld was obtained.

5. Burden Caused by Compliance To comply with the code required examination volumes or surface areas for obtaining essentially 100% coverage for the welds listed in this request for relief, the welds and their Page 3 of 8

associated components would have to be physically modified and/or disassembled beyond their current design. Overall, components and fittings associated with the welds listed in this request are constructed of standard design items and materials meeting typical national standards that specify required configurations and dimensions. To replace these items with items of alternate configurations or materials to enhance examination coverage would require unique redesign and fabrication. Because these items are in the Class 1 and 2 boundaries and for the Class 1 items that form a part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, their redesign and fabrication would be an extensive effort based on the limitations that exist.

For the Class 1, Examination Category B-A, Reactor Pressure Vessel Shell Welds, Item No.

B1.12 (RPV1-W12-1, RPV1-W12-2, and RPV1-W12-3) limitations were caused by the internal piping in the reactor vessel. The volumetric examination was performed from the vessel ID and the feedwater sparger and core spray piping reduced the coverage. These internal piping configurations would require removing or redesigning to allow the additional coverage.

For the Class 1, Examination Category B-A, Reactor Pressure Vessel Shell-to-flange weld, Item No. B1.30 (RPV1-W3) limitation was caused by proximity of the main steam nozzle plugs, nozzle clad removal areas and the rod guides at 0° and 180°.

For the Class 1, Examination Category B-D, Full Penetration Welded Nozzles in Vessels -

Inspection Program B, Item No. B3.90 for the nine nozzle welds including the six feedwater nozzle welds, the volumetric examinations were limited due to plant design and to obtain the required coverage for each of these welds would require a design modification.

For the Class 1, Item No. B3.100, Nozzle Inside Radius Section limitations applied to the five inside radius sections. To obtain the required coverage, a design modification would have to be performed to remove or replace the thermal sleeves in these nozzles. Performing this type of modification is considered to be impractical. The structural integrity of the nozzle forgings themselves is not in question at this time because they were nondestructively examined during fabrication and have been previously examined using ultrasonic techniques specific to the nozzle configurations. No indications of fabrication or service related cracking have been observed as a result of these examinations.

For the Class 1, Item No. B15.10 All Pressure Retaining Components limitation applied to one root valve pair AE-V9989 and AE-V9995, the piping between the two root valves, 2.25 linear inches per FSK-P-1-AE-662, was not pressurized. Access to these two valves is limited due to location between main steam lines, which would require excessive scaffolding and poses radiological and personnel safety concerns. There were no indications of leakage identified in the area surrounding these valves during the system pressure test. Note that Code Case N-798, approved in revision 18 of RG 1.147, allows for the vent and drain inboard isolation valves to remain closed during the system pressure test.

For the Class 2 Examination Category C-A, Shell Circumferential Welds, Item No. C1.10, the volumetric examination limitations on the Vessel-to-Flange Weld on the A RHR Heat Page 4 of 8

Exchanger were due to the taper of the flange side of the weld, which would require a design modification to remove the taper.

For the Class 2 Examination Category C-G, Pump Casing Welds, the surface examination limitations were caused by the concrete pump pedestal obstructions. A design change would be required to remove the concrete pedestal.

The configuration of the Class 1 piping weld examined per the RI-ISI program only allowed ultrasonic examination from one side of the weld and limited coverage from specific areas on the far side of the weld and thus would require a design modification or replacement to obtain the required examination coverage.

Overall it is not possible to obtain interrogation of greater than 90% of the required code examination volume or surface areas for the welds in this request without extensive weld or component design modifications. Examinations have been performed to the maximum extent possible. Supplemental radiography is impractical due to the amount of work being performed in the areas on a 24-hour basis when the welds are available for examination. Using radiography would result in numerous work-related stoppages and increased exposure due to the shutdown and startup of other work in the areas. The water may need to be drained from systems or components where radiography is performed, which increases the radiation dose rates over a much broader area than the weld being examined.

The surface and volumetric examination techniques used for welds in this request for relief were reviewed to determine if additional coverage could be achieved by improving those techniques.

None were identified and the examinations have been performed to the maximum extent possible. Therefore, HCGS has determined that obtaining essentially 100% coverage is not feasible without adding additional burden consisting of significant redesign work, increased radiation exposure, and/or potential damage to the plant or the component itself.

6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative

1) Periodic system pressure test VT-2 visual examinations will continue to be performed in accordance with ASME Section Xl, Examination Category B-P, for Class 1 pressure retaining welds and items each refueling outage and Examination Category C-H for Class 2 pressure retaining welds and items each inspection period of Table IWB-2500-1 and Table IWC-2500-1, respectively.

2) Conduct required surface and/or volumetric examinations to the maximum extent possible as required by ASME Section XI or the RI-ISI Programs.

Page 5 of 8

Basis for Use 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. When a component is found to have conditions which limit the required examination volume or surface area, HCGS is required to submit this information to the enforcement and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction at the plant site.

This request for relief has been written to address areas where these types of conditions exist and where the required amount of coverage was reduced below the minimum acceptable.

HCGS has performed the weld examinations to the maximum extent possible for each of the welds identified with limitations in Attachment 1.

The Class 1 Examination Category B-A, Head-to-Flange Welds, the Class 1 Examination Category B-D, Reactor Vessel Nozzle-to-Vessel Welds and Inside Radius Sections, the Class 1 Examination Category B-P, All Pressure Retaining Components, and the Class 1 Risk-Informed Piping Weld within the scope of this request are all located inside the containment. Even though their examination did not meet the essentially 100% code required volume coverage requirement, there is instrumentation in place to assure early detection of any Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure boundary leakage. The instrumentation consists of monitoring of drywell floor drain sump level to determine flow rate, drywell cooler condensate flow rate increases, and airborne gaseous radioactivity increases. HCGS Technical Specifications Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.3.2 requires that RCS leakage shall be limited to:

a. No PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE.

b. 5 gpm UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE.

c. 25 gpm IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE averaged over any 24-hour period.

d. 0.5 gpm leakage per nominal inch of valve size up to a maximum of 5 gpm from any reactor coolant system pressure isolation valve specified in Table 3.4.3.2-1, at rated pressure.

e. 2 gpm increase in UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE within any period of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or less.

The Class 2 Examination Category C-A, RHR Heat Exchanger Shell-to-Flange Weld and the Class 2 Examination Category C-G, Pump Casing Welds within the scope of the request are outside containment. The RHR Heat Exchanger and the RHR Pumps are located in the RHR Pump Rooms while the Core Spray Pump is located in the Core Spray Pump Room. The Operations Department performs routine plant walkdowns to identify deficiencies and initiate corrective actions as appropriate. Any leaks identified are required to be reported to the Control Room. Note that HCGS will be implementing Code Case N-716-1 in the 4th Interval which evaluated the RHR Heat Exchangers and determined them to be classified as Low Safety Significant (LSS) which requires no examination with the exception of the VT-2 examination during the periodic pressure test. Category C-G was removed from ASME Section XI in the 2008 Addenda and therefore will no longer require examination.

Based upon the extent of the required surface examination area or volumetric examination volume achieved for each of the welds within this request for relief, applicable leakage monitoring, and required system pressure test VT-2 visual examinations, reasonable assurance of structural integrity is ensured.

Introduction This attachment contains figures and tables as applicable that are used to depict the limitations and calculations used for obtained coverage, materials and product forms, with ultrasonic examination angles and wave modes used, any limited surface examinations and the examination results for the welds associated with this request for relief, including any applicable previous examination history used. The following Table 1 for HCGS identifies the welds within the scope of this request and summarizes the extent of examination coverage achieved for each weld.

Many of the welds listed were examined with different HCGS approved procedures and techniques during the span of the Third Ten-Year ISI Interval and therefore not all the coverage calculations used are identical, but they are based on the actual Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) data reports that were provided for the examinations completed.

1.5 Weld RPV1-N3D - RPV Main Steam D Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld Figure 1.5-1 Weld RPV1-N3D (Extracted from Reference DWG A-1)

This weld was UT examined in Inspection Period 3, during the RFO19 refueling outage in 2015.

The NDE data came from UT Report No.: VEN-15-001. The UT Code Required Volume (CRV) was determined based on Section XI, Figure IWB-2500-7(b). The corresponding CRV as shown on that Figure is A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H. The UT examination was limited from the nozzle side of the weld due to the geometric configuration of the nozzle and the proximity of the N8 nozzle. The examination resulted in total UT coverage of 82.80% as described in Table 1.5-1 and combined with Figures 1.5-2 and 1.5-3. No recordable indications were detected during this examination.

The ultrasonic examination was performed in accordance with the criteria of 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv)(G) and the minimum coverage requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv)(K) was achieved to the maximum extent possible.

The examination satisfied the requirements of ASME Section XI, 2001 Edition with the 2003 Addenda for Category B-D, Item number B3.90, figure number IWB-2500-7(b) exam volume, and was performed using ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII qualified personnel, procedures and equipment to the 2001 Edition of Appendix VIII as conditioned by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv).

Code Case N-613-1 was used to reduce the area to be examined to the weld plus a 1/2 on each side.

Notes:

1. Radial scans were performed with a procedure qualified for the examination of vessel nozzle to shell welds (54-ISI-805-008). This procedure has been demonstrated for detection of flaws located throughout the entire weld thickness. Coverage obtained during radial scans was limited due to the nozzle and weld configuration.

2. In the circumferential scan direction the outer 85%-t is examined with the same vessel procedure as mentioned above and coverage was also limited due to the nozzle configuration. To achieve additional coverage in the circumferential scan direction a second examination was performed with a procedure qualified for the nozzle to shell weld inner 15% thickness region (54-ISI-850-008). This procedure has been demonstrated for detection of flaws in the inner 15%-t only. The nozzle to shell weld inner 15% thickness examination techniques were performed in accordance with the parameters identified in EPRI modeling report IR-2003-23.

3. Scanning was performed to the maximum extent possible. The total coverage achieved for scans performed in accordance with procedure 54-ISI-805-008 is a conservative estimate derived from the physical limitation caused by the nozzle configuration at the vertical sections of the nozzle and does not include additional volume obtained at the horizontal sections of the nozzle.

Scanning with the 60°RL was also taken back to the limit of one half inch from the toe of the weld as measure from OD weld radius tip and projected to the ID perpendicular to the surface.

4. The total examination coverage differs from the previous examination coverage due to variances in calculating the examination coverage and utilizing single-sided access techniques and personnel qualified for single sided examination.

This procedure has been demonstrated for detection of flaws located throughout the entire weld thickness. Coverage obtained during radial scans was limited due to the nozzle and weld configuration.

2. In the circumferential scan direction the outer 85%-t is examined with the same vessel procedure as mentioned above and coverage was also limited due to the nozzle configuration. To achieve additional coverage in the circumferential scan direction a second examination was performed with a procedure qualified for the nozzle to shell weld inner 15% thickness region (54-ISI-850-008). This procedure has been demonstrated for detection of flaws in the inner 15%-t only. The nozzle to shell weld inner 15% thickness examination techniques were performed in accordance with the parameters identified in EPRI modeling report IR-2013-546 Rev.2.

3. Scanning was performed to the maximum extent possible. The total coverage achieved for scans performed in accordance with procedure 54-ISI-805-008 is a conservative estimate derived from the physical limitation caused by the nozzle configuration at the vertical sections of the nozzle and does not include additional volume obtained at the horizontal sections of the nozzle.

Scanning with the 60°RL was also taken back to the limit of one half inch from the toe of the weld as measure from OD weld radius tip and projected to the ID perpendicular to the surface.

4. The total examination coverage differs from the previous examination coverage due to variances in calculating the examination coverage and utilizing single-sided access techniques and personnel qualified for single sided examination.

This weld was UT examined in Inspection Period 2, during the RFO18 refueling outage in 2013.

The NDE data came from UT Report No.: VEN-13-027. The UT Code Required Volume (CRV) was determined based on Section XI, Figure IWB-2500-7(b). The corresponding CRV as shown on that Figure is A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H. The UT examination was limited from the nozzle side of the weld due to the geometric configuration of the nozzle. The examination resulted in total UT coverage of 80.42% as described in Table 1.11-1 and combined with Figures 1.11-2 and 1.11-3. No recordable indications were detected during this examination.

The ultrasonic examination was performed in accordance with the criteria of 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv)(G) and the minimum coverage requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv)(K) was achieved to the maximum extent possible.

The examination satisfied the requirements of ASME Section XI, 2001 Edition with the 2003 Addenda for Category B-D, Item number B3.90, figure number IWB-2500-7(b) exam volume, and was performed using ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII qualified personnel, procedures and equipment to the 2001 Edition of Appendix VIII as conditioned by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv).

Code Case N-613-1 was used to reduce the area to be examined to the weld plus a 1/2 on each side.

Note: No laminations exist on the shell that could interfere with the angle beam examinations performed on this weld.

Figure 1.14-1 Nozzle Inner Radii Sections Nozzle Inner Radii N2A, N2B, N2K and N5B were visually examined in Inspection Period 2, during the RFO17 refueling outage in 2012 in accordance with Code Case N-648-1. The NDE data came from In Vessel Visual Inspection Hope Creek Spring 2012 R17 Outage Report. The surface area was determined based on Section XI, Figure IWC-2500-7(b). The corresponding surface as shown on that Figure is M-N. Enhanced VT-1 (EVT-1) (0.44 resolution), was performed remotely using closed circuit television (CCTV) equipment. All EVT-1 examinations (where accessible) were brushed prior to performing inspection. Brushing was utilized to effectively discern the weld ripples and surface texture conditions. Cleaning was performed for those components being examined that exhibited surface conditions that restricted the examination as required by procedure. When cleaning was required, it was performed using a nylon bristle brush with the desired result of cleaning to a dull non-reflective surface in which primarily the oxide covering the surface was removed. The visual examination was limited due to the thermal sleeve configuration resulting in total visual coverage as described in Table 1.14-1 and Figures 1.14-2 through 1.14-4.

Nozzle Inner Radius N17A was visually examined in Inspection Period 3, during RFO20 refueling outage in 2016 in accordance with Code Case N-648-1. The NDE data came from the Visual Inspection of Vessel Interior Outage Report. A VT-1 (0.44 resolution) was performed Page 49 of 68

remotely using closed circuit television (CCTV) equipment. In addition, a VT-3 examination was used to supplement the VT-1 examination. The visual examination was limited due to the thermal sleeve configuration resulting in total visual coverage as described in Table 1.14-1..
