ENCLOSURE RELIEF REQUEST NO.01-007

Serial No.01-007 Page 1 of 59 Duke Energy Corporation McGuire Nuclear Station - Unit 1 SECOND 10-YEAR INTERVAL REQUEST FOR RELIEF NO.01-007 Duke Energy Corporation has determined that conformance with certain ASME Section XI Code requirements is impractical. Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR50.55a (g) (5) (iii), Duke Energy requests relief from applicable portions of the code.

Included in this request are sixteen welds: one Examination Category B-D weld, two Examination Category B-F Welds, one Examination Category B-H weld, seven Examination Category B-J welds, one Examination C-B weld and four Examination Category C-F-I welds.

The McGuire Unit-i Inservice Inspection Plan was written to the requirements of the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI, no addenda.

The items in this Request for Relief were performed during refueling outage EOC-14.

Code Case N-460 applies to the examinations performed during this outage.

I. System / Component(s) for Which Relief is Requested:

Examination Category B-D:

Pressurizer Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld for Safety Nozzle to Upper Head.

ID Number Item Number IPZR-14 B03.110.004 II. Code Requirement:

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1989 Edition Table IWB-2500-1, lists the following requirements for the Examination Category as shown below:

Serial No.01-007 Page 2 of 59 Figure IWB-2500-7(b). ASME Section V, Article 4, T 424.1, Examination Coverage, 1989 Edition with no Addenda. "The volume shall be examined by moving the search unit over the examination surface so as to scan the entire examination volume." Due to part geometry and actual physical barriers, obtaining 100%

coverage of the required volume is not possible with the existing limitations.

III. Code Requirement from Which Relief Is Requested:

Relief is sought from the requirement to scan 100% of the examination volume.

IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 1, (Pages 1-9) due to single sided access, the examination coverage was limited to 69.07%. In order to achieve more coverage the weld would have to be re-designed to allow scanning from both sides.

V. Alternate Examinations or Testing:

No additional examinations are planned during the current interval for this weld. Because of the configuration, Radiography would not provide any additional coverage.

Duke Energy Corporation will use the most effective ultrasonic techniques available to obtain maximum coverage for future examinations of this weld.

Serial No.01-007 Page 3 of 59 VI. Justification for the Granting of Relief:

Examination Category B-D:

Although the examination volume as defined in ASME Section XI 1989 Edition with no addenda, Figure IWB 2500-7(b) could not be covered, the amount of coverage obtained for this examination provides an acceptable level of quality and integrity. This weld was examined using procedures, personnel and equipment qualified through the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI). In addition, this weld was examined during installation using volumetric and surface NDE methods.

Ultrasonic examination of this weld was conducted using personnel, equipment and procedures qualified through the PDI Program for ferritic pressure vessel welds. The qualifications were conducted on samples with access to both sides of the weld. Therefore, Duke Energy Corporation does not claim credit for a single sided examination.

This weld is located on the NC system line from the pressurizer upper head to one of the NC relief valves. This weld is not exposed to significant neutron fluence and is not prone to negative material property changes (i.e., embrittlement) associated with neutron bombardment. If a leak were to occur at the weld in question, there are methods by which the leak could be identified for prompt Engineering evaluation. A leak at this weld would result in the following:

a) Increased containment humidity. This parameter is indicated in the control room and is monitored periodically by Operations and also the Containment Ventilation System Engineer.

b) Increased Pressurizer enclosure temperature. This parameter is continuously monitored by the Operations via an OAC alarm, and is periodically monitored by the System Engineer.

c) Increased input into the Ventilation Unit Condensate Drain Tank (VUCDT). This parameter is monitored continuously by Operations via an OAC alarm and also periodically by the Liquid Radwaste System Engineer and Reactor Coolant System Engineer.

Serial No.01-007 Page 4 of 59 d) Increase in unidentified reactor coolant leakage.

This parameter would be exhibited during performance of the reactor coolant leakage calculation, which is required by Technical Specifications to be performed every 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> (McGuire normally performs this calculation every 24 Hrs). The unidentified leakage specification in Technical Specification 3.4.13.1 is 1 gpm.

e) Other indicators such as containment radiation monitors EMF-38, 39, and 40, the containment floor and equipment sump levels.

Note: The above parameters would be used to identify a leak in the pressurizer enclosure or containment, but could not specifically identify this weld as the source of leakage. A containment entry would be required to identify the exact source of the leakage.

Also, a containment walkdown is performed when the unit reaches Mode 3 (full temperature / pressure) during the unit shutdown and startup for each refueling outage. This walkdown should identify any leak at the weld in question.

VII. Implementation Schedule:

Duke Energy Corporation will continue to use ultrasonic examination procedures to obtain maximum coverage to the extent practical of the item number referenced in Section I of this Request for Relief.

No additional ultrasonic examination is planned during the current interval for this weld.

ID Number Item Number lSGC-Inlet-W5SE B05.070.005 II. Code Requirement:

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1989 Edition Table IWB-2500-1, lists the following requirements for the Examination Category as shown below:

Figure IWB-2500-8 (c). ASME Section XI, Appendix III, Paragraph 111-4420, 1989 Edition with no addenda. "The examination shall be performed using a sufficiently long examination beam path to provide coverage of the required examination volume in two beam path directions. The examination shall be performed from two sides of the weld where practicable, or from one side of the weld, as a minimum."

III. Code Requirement from Which Relief Is Requested:

Relief is sought from the requirement to cover the required examination volume from two beam-path directions.

IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 2, (Pages 1-4) due to single sided access, the examination coverage was limited to 75.00%. In order to achieve more coverage the weld would have to be re-designed to allow scanning from both sides.

Serial No.01-007 Page 6 of 59 V. Alternate Examinations or Testing:

No additional examinations are planned during the current interval for this weld. Because of the configuration, Radiography would not provide any additional coverage.

Duke Energy Corporation will use the most effective NDE methods available to obtain maximum coverage for future examinations of this weld.

VI. Justification for the Granting of Relief:

Although the examination volume as defined in ASME Section XI 1989 Edition with no addenda, Figure IWB 2500-8(c) could not be covered, the amount of coverage obtained for this examination provides an acceptable level of quality and integrity. This weld was examined during installation using volumetric and surface NDE methods.

The most effective ultrasonic technique for the examination of dissimilar metal welds uses refracted longitudinal waves. The longitudinal wave is preferred as the austenitic weld metal and buttering create highly attenuative barriers to shear wave ultrasound. The longitudinal wave is less affected by these difficulties. However, the longitudinal wave is affected by mode conversion when it strikes the inside surface of the safe end or pipe at any angle other than a right angle to the surface.

The calculations below shows that a 450 refracted longitudinal wave striking the inside surface of a pipe will produce a 22.90 refracted shear wave in addition to the normally expected 450 reflected longitudinal wave.

Sin' = (sin 450 x Vs) + VL

= (0.707 x 0.123) + 0.223 Where: sin-' is the shear wave angle V, is the shear wave velocity of the stainless steel safe end/pipe material in inches/gsec.

Serial No.01-007 Page 7 of 59 VL is the longitudinal wave velocity of the stainless steel safe/pipe end material in inches/Jlsec.

As shown in the graph below, the mode conversion process creates two sound beams of differing intensities reflecting off of the inside surface.' At incident angles greater than 300 the shear wave will predominate. However, the shear wave is attenuated and scattered by the austenitic weld metal and the layer of buttering. The examination sensitivity is degraded to such an extent that any examination using the second sound path leg is meaningless. Therefore, the two-beam path direction coverage requirement is impractical.

In order to obtain the required two-beam path direction coverage, welds would have to be re-designed to allow scanning from both sides.

III. Code Requirement from Which Relief Is Requested:

This weld was examined to the maximum extent practical per the requirements of Request for Alternative 00-001.

IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 3 (Pages 1-10) the examination coverage was limited to 75.16%. The entire examination volume was covered 100% from at least one direction.

VI. Justification for the Granting of Relief:

Although the examination volume as defined in ASME Section XI 1989 Edition with no addenda, Figure IWB 2500-13 could not be covered, the amount of coverage obtained for this examination provides an acceptable level of quality and integrity. This weld was examined during installation using surface NDE methods.

There is inadequate accessibility of the inside surface (surface C-D) of the Pressurizer Support Skirt Weld to perform the required surface examination. Therefore, an ultrasonic examination will be used to inspect the inner examination surface from the skirt's exterior surface. The ultrasonic procedure and the basic calibration block will conform to the requirements of ASME Section XI, Appendix I, 1989 Edition, and ASME Section V, Article 5, 1989 Edition.

This is the weld joining the pressurizer support skirt to the pressurizer lower head. This weld is not exposed to significant neutron fluence and is not prone to negative material property changes (i.e.,

embrittlement) associated with neutron bombardment.

This weld joins the pressurizer support skirt, a non pressure boundary component, to the lower pressurizer head. Therefore, the weld serves no pressure boundary function. However, if a leak were to occur at the weld in question, there are methods by which the leak could be identified for prompt Engineering evaluation. A leak at this weld would result in the following:

"The examination shall be performed using a sufficiently long examination beam path to provide coverage of the required examination volume in two-beam path directions. The examination shall be performed from two sides of the weld where practicable, or from one side of the weld, as a minimum."

III. Code Requirement from Which Relief Is Requested:

Relief is sought from the requirement to examine 100% of volume C-D-E-F of cast stainless steel welds from two beam path directions.

Serial No.01-007 Page 20 of 59 IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 4, (Pages 1-4) due to single sided access, and weld crown taper the examination coverage was limited to 33.20%.

In the case of the above listed pipe to pump weld, austenitic weld metal characteristics and single sided access caused by the component geometry prevents two sided coverage of the examination volume. The welded component configuration would have to be re-designed to allow scanning from both sides of the weld over the required examination volume.

B09.011.007

Serial No.01-007 Page 23 of 59 I. System / Component(s) for Which Relief is Requested:

Examination Category B-J:

NPS 4" or Larger Piping Circumferential Weld for Reactor Coolant System.

ID Number Item Number 1NC-3087-WI B09.011.008 II. Code Requirement:

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1989 Edition Table IWB-2500-1, lists the following requirements for the Examination Category as shown below:

ASME Section XI, Figure IWB-2500-8(c),

Examination Volume C-D-E-F.

For welds joining cast austenitic materials:

ASME Section XI, Appendix III, Paragraph 111-4420, 1989 Edition with no addenda. "The examination shall be performed using a sufficiently long examination beam path to provide coverage of the required examination volume in two-beam path directions. The examination shall be performed from two sides of the weld where practicable, or from one side of the weld, as a minimum."

III. Code Requirement from Which Relief Is Requested:

Relief is sought from the requirement to examine 100% of volume C-D-E-F of cast stainless steel welds from two beam path directions.

Serial No.01-007 Page 24 of 59 IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 4 (Pages 5-8), due to the proximity of a pipe restraint, the examination coverage was limited to 85.50%.

In the case of the above listed piping weld, austenitic weld metal characteristics and single sided access caused by the pipe restraint prevents two sided coverage of the examination volume. The welded component configuration would have to be re designed to allow scanning from both sides of the weld over the required examination volume.

V. Alternate Examinations or Testing:

No additional examinations are planned during the current interval for this weld. Because of the configuration, Radiography would not provide any additional coverage.

Duke Energy Corporation will use the most effective ultrasonic techniques available to obtain maximum coverage for future examinations of this weld.

VI. Justification for the Granting of Relief:

Although the examination volume as defined in ASME Section XI 1989 Edition with no addenda, Figure IWB 2500-8(c) could not be covered, the amount of coverage obtained for this examination provides an acceptable level of quality and integrity. This weld was examined during installation using volumetric and surface NDE methods.

This weld is located on the "A" cold leg of the reactor coolant system near the reactor vessel nozzle. If a leak were to occur at the weld in question, there are methods by which the leak could be identified for prompt Engineering evaluation. A leak at this weld would result in the following:

a) Increased containment humidity. This parameter is indicated in the control room and is monitored

Serial No.01-007 Page 25 of 59 periodically by Operations and also the Containment Ventilation System Engineer.

b) Increased input into the VUCDT. This parameter is monitored continuously by Operations via an OAC alarm and also periodically by the Liquid Radwaste System Engineer and Reactor Coolant System Engineer.

c) Increase in unidentified reactor coolant leakage.

This parameter would be exhibited during performance of the reactor coolant leakage calculation, which is required by Technical Specifications to be performed every 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> (McGuire normally performs this calculation every 24 Hrs). The unidentified leakage specification in Technical Specification 3.4.13.1 is 1 gpm.

d) Other indicators such as containment radiation monitors EMF-38, 39, and 40, the containment floor and equipment sump levels.

Note: The above parameters would be used to identify a leak in containment, but could not specifically identify this weld as the source of leakage. A containment entry would be required to identify the exact source of the leakage.

Also, a containment walkdown is performed when the unit reaches Mode 3 (full temperature / pressure) during the unit shutdown and startup for each refueling outage.

This walkdown should identify any leak at the weld in question.

Relief is sought from the requirement to examine 100%

of volume C-D-E-F.

IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 4, (Page 9-15) the examination coverage was limited to 60.85%. This is an elbow to nozzle weld where access is limited to the pipe side only.

In the case of the above listed elbow to nozzle weld, austenitic weld metal characteristics and single

No additional examinations are planned during the current interval for this weld. Because of the configuration, Radiography would not provide any additional coverage.

Although the examination volume as defined in ASME Section XI 1989 Edition with no addenda, Figure IWB 2500-8(c) could not be covered, the amount of coverage obtained for this examination provides an acceptable level of quality and integrity. This weld was examined during installation using volumetric and surface NDE methods.

Current ultrasonic technology is not capable of consistently detecting and sizing flaws on the far side of an austenitic weld for configurations common to U.S. nuclear applications. To demonstrate that the best available technology was applied, PDI provides a best effort qualification instead of a complete single side demonstration. PDI Performance Demonstration Qualification Summary (PDQS) for austenitic piping shows that single sided examination is performed as a best effort. Therefore, the far side of the austenitic weld, which can only be accessed from one side, will be listed as an area of no coverage.

This weld is located on the "A" cold leg of the reactor coolant system at the nozzle from the NI system, downstream of INI-60. This weld is not exposed to significant neutron fluence and is not prone to negative material property changes (i.e.,

embrittlement) associated with neutron bombardment.

Figure IWC-2500-4 (a). ASME Section V, Article 4, Paragraph T-424.1 states: "The volume shall be examined by moving the search unit over the examination surface so as to scan the entire examination volume."

III. Code Requirement from Which Relief Is Requested:

Relief is being sought from the requirement to scan the entire examination volume.

IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 5, (Pages 1-4) the examination coverage was limited to 75.00%. This is a ferritic nozzle to shell weld where access is limited to the vessel shell side only.

VI. Justification for the Granting of Relief:

Although the examination volume as defined in ASME Section XI 1989 Edition with no addenda, Figure IWC 2500-4(a) could not be covered, the amount of coverage obtained for this examination provides an acceptable level of quality and integrity. This weld was examined using procedures, personnel and equipment qualified through the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI). The qualifications were conducted on samples with access to both sides of the weld. Therefore Duke Energy Corporation does not claim credit for the full volume when a single sided examination is performed. In addition, this weld was examined during installation using volumetric and surface NDE methods.

This weld is located on the Auxiliary Feedwater nozzle on the 1D Steam Generator. This weld is not exposed to significant neutron fluence and is not prone to embrittlement associated with neutron bombardment. If a leak were to occur at the weld in question [Steam Generator (CA) Nozzle], there are methods by which the leak could be identified for prompt Engineering evaluation. A leak at a CA nozzle would result in the following:

a) Increased containment humidity. This parameter is indicated in the control room and is monitored periodically by Operations and also the Containment Ventilation System Engineer.

b) Increased S/G enclosure temperature. This parameter is continuously monitored by the Operations via an OAC alarm, and is periodically monitored by the System Engineer.

c) Increased input into the VUCDT. This parameter is monitored continuously by Operations via an OAC alarm and also periodically by the Liquid Radwaste System Engineer and Reactor Coolant System Engineer.

Note: The above parameters would be used to identify a leak in the steam generator enclosure, but could not specifically identify the CA nozzle as the source

Serial No.01-007 Page 46 of 59 of leakage. A containment entry would be required to identify the exact source of the leakage.

Also, a containment walkdown is performed when the unit reaches Mode 3 (full temperature / pressure) during the unit shutdown and startup for each refueling outage.

This walkdown should identify any leak at the weld in question.

Concerning the consequences of a leak at the CA nozzle (affects on CA system operation): Any leakage would result in a portion of the CA flow bypassing the steam generator, and therefore being unavailable to maintain steam generator levels. Very small leaks

(< 1 gpm) would have no discernible effect on CA system operation. Leaks that approach 5 gpm would need to be evaluated for system operability effects.

McGuire has specific Safety Analysis for accidents where minor and major main feedwater system pipe breaks are postulated. These Safety Analyses demonstrate compliance with requirements of 10CFR50.

Replacement or re-design of any of these Class 1 or Class 2 nozzles is not a viable alternative. Duke Energy believes the amount of coverage obtained for these examinations provides reasonable assurance of the continued structural integrity of the subject welds.

Also the CA nozzles are equipped with thermal sleeves to limit thermal shock due to auxiliary feedwater injections. McGuire operates the CA nozzles consistent with the stress and fatigue qualifications provided by the Manufacturer (BWI).

Serial No.01-007 Page 48 of 59 I. System / Component(s) for Which Relief is Requested:

Examination Category C-F-i:

Piping Circumferential Welds for Safety Injection System.

ID Number Item Number 1NIIF-167 C05.011.113 II. Code Requirement:

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, 1989 Edition Table IWC-2500-I, lists the following requirements for the Examination Category as shown below:

Figure IWC-2500-7 (a) requires 100% of examination volume.

III. Code Requirement from Which Relief Is Requested:

Relief is requested from the requirement to examine 100% of volume C-D-E-F.

IV. Basis for Relief:

During the ultrasonic examination of this weld, 100%

of the required examination volume could not be achieved. As shown in Attachment 6, (Pages 1-6) the examination coverage was limited to 59.82%. This is a stainless steel penetration to elbow weld where access is limited to the elbow side of the weld only.

In order to achieve more coverage the weld would have to be re-designed to allow scanning from both sides.

V. Alternate Examinations or Testing:

No additional examinations are planned during the current interval for this weld. Because of the configuration, Radiography would not provide any additional coverage.

Serial No.01-007 Page 49 of 59 Duke Energy Corporation will use the most effective ultrasonic techniques available to obtain maximum coverage for future examinations of this weld.

VI. Justification for the Granting of Relief:

Examination Category C-F-I:

Although the examination volume as defined in ASME Section XI 1989 Edition with no addenda, Figure IWC 2500-7(a) could not be covered, the amount of coverage obtained for this examination provides an acceptable level of quality and integrity. This weld was examined using procedures, personnel and equipment qualified through the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI). In addition, this weld was examined during installation using volumetric and surface NDE methods.

Current ultrasonic technology is not capable of consistently detecting and sizing flaws on the far side of an austenitic weld for configurations common to U.S. nuclear applications. To demonstrate that the best available technology was applied, PDI provides a best effort qualification instead of a complete single side demonstration. PDI Performance Demonstration Qualification Summary (PDQS) for austenitic piping shows that single sided examination is performed as a best effort. Therefore, the far side of the austenitic weld, which can only be accessed from one side, will be listed as an area of no coverage.

This weld is located on the "A" Train ECCS Cold Leg Injection supply from the ND system. This weld is not exposed to significant neutron fluence and is not prone to embrittlement associated with neutron bombardment. If a leak were to occur at the weld in question, the leak could be identified for prompt Engineering evaluation. A leak at this weld would result in external leakage from this weld and would be exhibited on the floor of the Aux. Building pipe chase. Operations perform surveillance in this area monthly for ECCS venting and would notice any leakage exhibited from this weld.

Also, a walkdown is performed when the unit reaches Mode 3 (full temperature / pressure) during the unit shutdown and startup for each refueling outage. The

Serial No.01-007 Page 50 of 59 following additional walkdowns are performed on this piping each refueling outage:

a) An inservice inspection walkdown is performed which verifies that no external leakage exists on the piping including this weld.

b) A leakage walkdown is performed on ND system piping outside containment.

These walkdowns should identify any leak at the weld in question.

VII. Implementation Schedule:

Duke Energy Corporation will continue to use ultrasonic examination procedures to obtain maximum coverage to the extent practical of the item number referenced in Section I of this Request for Relief.

No additional ultrasonic examination is planned during the current interval for this weld.

Note: The above parameter would be used to identify a leak in the containment, but could not specifically identify this weld as the source of leakage. A

Serial No.01-007 Page 53 of 59 containment entry would be required to identify the exact source of the leakage.

Also, a containment walkdown is performed when the unit reaches Mode 3 (full temperature / pressure) during the unit shutdown and startup for each refueling outage.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION REQUEST FOR RELIEF 00-001 FROM ASME SECTION XI REQUIREMENTS DUKE ENERGY CORPORATION MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-369, 50-370

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Title 10 of the Code of FederalRegulations (10 CFR), Section 50.55a, requires that inservice inspection (ISI) of certain American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code) applicable Edition and Addenda, except where specific written relief has been granted by the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i). In 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3), it states that alternatives to the requirements of paragraph (g) may be used, when authorized by the NRC, if (i) the proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety, or (ii) compliance with the specified requirements would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4), ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 components (including supports) shall meet the requirements, except the design and access provisions and the preservice examination requirements, set forth in the ASME Code,Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," to the extent practical within the limitations of design, geometry, and materials of construction of the components. The regulations require that inservice examination of components and system pressure tests conducted during the first 10-year interval and subsequent intervals comply with the requirements in the latest edition and addenda of Section XI of the ASME Code incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a(b) 12 months prior to the start of the 120-month interval, subject to the limitations and modifications listed therein. For McGuire Units 1 and 2, the applicable edition of Section XI of the ASME Code for the second ten-year ISI interval is the 1989 Edition with no addenda.

The NRC staff's findings with respect to Duke Energy Corporation's (DEC's or licensee's) proposed alternative submitted on April 5, 2000, as supplemented on August 8, 2001, is contained in this safety evaluation.

2.0 EVALUATION 2.1 LICENSEE'S EVALUATION The Components for Which Relief is Requested:

Safety-related ASME Section XI Code Class 1 pressurizer integrally welded attachments (pressurizer support skirt to lower head, Item B08.020.001 for McGuire 1 and Item B08.020.001 for McGuire 2)

Requirement From Which Relief is Requested:

The ASME Code,Section XI, 1989 Edition, Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-H, Item No. B8-20, Figure No. IWB-2500-13, requires a surface examination to the inside and outside areas of the skirt-to-pressurizer weld. The inside and outside areas of the weld are denoted as areas C-D and A-B, respectively, in DEC's request. Note 2 states "The extent of the examination includes essentially 100% of the length of the attachment weld at each attachment subject to examination."

By letter dated August 8, 2001, DEC provided clarification that the Code required surface examination of the outside (area A-B) surface of the weld will continue to be performed and that no relief is being requested from examination of the outside weld surface area.

Licensee's Basis for Requesting Relief and Justification for Granting Relief:

The licensee requests relief from the surface examination required on the inside surface area of the support skirt-to-pressurizer weld (area C-D). Surface area C-D is inaccessible for examination for the following reasons:

1. The pressurizer heater cables must be disconnected for access which, in the past, has caused a number of the termination joints and ceramic insulators to fail.

2 The maximum clearance between the inside surface of the support skirt and the outside row of the pressurizer heaters is 14 inches. This is insufficient clearance for performing the required surface examination.

3 The inside diameter of the pressurizer support skirt is a high radiation area. Personnel performing the required examination would receive a significant dose. The general area dose rate is 400 mr/hr and the contact dose rates range from 1000 to 3000 mr/hr.

Alternative Examination:

The licensee proposed, as an alternative to the surface examination required by Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-H, Item No. B8-20, Figure No. IWB-2500-13, to conduct ultrasonic examination of the inner examination surface (surface area C-D) from the skirt's exterior surface. The support skirt weld surface will be scanned with two angle beams in two opposing axial directions and two opposing circumferential directions. These angle beam scans will cover the inner weld and base metal surfaces from points "C" to "D". A straight beam scan will also be performed from point "C" toward the vessel shell to the maximum extent practical. IR- 01 -6o7 AT - ' >

2.2 STAFF EVALUATION The Request for Relief No.00-001 pertains to Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-H, Item No. B8-20, that requires a 100% volumetric or surface examination, for integrally welded attachments to the pressurizer as defined by Figure No. IWB-2500-13. The licensee requested relief from the Code-required surface examination for Weld 1 PZR-SKIRT for Unit 1 and Weld 2PZR-SKIRT for Unit 2.

The licensee has proposed an alternative to the surface examinations required by Figure IWA-2500-13 for the support skirt-to-pressurizer circumferential welds. Instead of performing the surface examinations on both inside and outside surfaces of the weld, the licensee will perform a surface examination on the outside (accessible) surface and UT examinations of the volume adjacent to the inside surface. The alternative is necessitated by the narrow access through the skirt openings and the obstructions in the confined area inside the skirt under the bottom head. The working area inside the skirt limits maneuverability and exposes examiners to high radiation doses.

The proposed alternative is the same as the Code requirement for the attachment weld depicted in Figure IWA-2500-14. Figure IWA-2500-14 has an ideal weld profile for UT examinations. The difference between Figures IWA-2500-14 and IWA-2500-13 is the weld profile. Figure IWA-2500-13 has a non-ideal weld profile for UT examinations performed from the outside surface in search for flaws on the inside surface. The inside weld surface farthest from the outside surface cannot be directly examined with UT. However, if a flaw existed, it would have depth. The depth would be detected with a UT examination of the volume performed from the outside surface. The proposed UT examination on the volume near the inside surface of the support skirt weld provides reasonable assurance of its structural integrity.

Therefore, the staff has determined that the surface examination on the outside surface and a UT examination of the volume adjacent to the inside surface will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.

3.0 CONCLUSION

Based on the NRC staff's review of the information provided in the request for relief (Relief Request 00-001), the staff concludes that the combination of the Code-required surface examination of the outside weld surface area and the alternate ultrasonic examination of the weld from the outside surface area of the pressurizer-to-skirt weld at McGuire Units 1 and 2 will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore, the proposed alternative is authorized for the second inservice inspection interval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i).

Serial No.00-001 Page 1 of 4 Duke Energy Corporation Station McGuire Unit 1 & 2 SECOND 10-YEAR INTERVAL REQUEST FOR ALTERNATIVE NO.00-001 Pursuant to 10CFR50.55a(a) (3) (i), Duke Energy Corporation requests the use of an alternative to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI for McGuire Units 1 and 2. Specifically, Duke Energy requests approval to perform ultrasonic examination of area C-D on Attachment 1, the ID surface area of the Pressurizer Skirt. The ultrasonic examination is proposed as an alternative to the required surface examination of the support skirt weld area C-D. There is insufficient clearance to permit the required surface examination.

I. System / Component(s) for Which the Alternative is Requested:

It is required by the 1989 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Section XI Code (no addenda) that the surface of Class A Pressurizer Integrally Welded Attachments, Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-H, Item Number B8.20 be examined per Examination Requirements IWB 2500-13, 14 and 15.

RIF v~-6&:-60

Serial No.00-001 Page 2 of 4 III. Code Requirement for which the Alternative is Requested:

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI, 1989 Edition (no addenda), Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-H, Item No. B8.20, Figure No. IWB-2500-13.

Examination Requirements Figure Number IWB-2500-13 requires a surface examination to areas (A-B) and (C-D). Note 2 states "The extent of the examination includes essentially 100% of the length of the attachment weld at each attachment subject to examination. (See Attachment 1)

IV. Basis for Alternative Examination Duke Energy requests relief from the surface examination required on surface area C-D as shown on Attachment 1. Surface area C-D is inaccessible for examination for the following reasons:

1. The Pressurizer heater cables must be disconnected for access which, in the past, has caused a number of the termination joints and ceramic insulators to fail. (See Attachment 2)
2. The maximum clearance between the inside surface of the support skirt and the outside row of the Pressurizer heaters is 14 inches. This is insufficient clearance for performing the required surface examination. (See Attachment 3)
3. The ID of the Pressurizer Support Skirt is a high radiation area. Personnel performing the required examination would receive a significant dose.

The general area dose rate is 400mr/hr and the contact dose rates range from 1000 to 3000mr/hr.

F7t 01 -o67

Serial No.00-001 Page 3 of 4 V. Alternate Examination or Testing:

The ID surface (surface area C-D) of the weld will be examined by ultrasonic testing. The support skirt weld surface will be scanned with two angle beams in two opposing axial directions and two opposing circumferential directions. These angle beam scans will cover the inner weld and base metal surfaces from points "C" to "D". A straight beam scan will also be performed from point "C" toward the vessel shell to the maximum extent practical. (See Attachment 4)

VI. Justification for the Granting of Relief:

There is inadequate accessibility of the inside surface (surface C-D) of the Pressurizer Support Skirt Weld to perform the required surface examination. Therefore, an ultrasonic examination will be used to inspect the inner examination surface from the skirt's exterior surface. The ultrasonic method has been shown capable of detecting surface connected flaws in pressure vessel welds when a properly designed technique is used. The ultrasonic procedure and the basic calibration block will conform to the requirements of ASME Section XI, Appendix I, 1989 Edition.
