Introduction

" PG&E has experienced two unexpected and industry significant SG inspection results

"* Overall, we believe our SG tube integrity program is strong and that the program worked

"* We have gained several insights that will help the industry manage SG tube integrity

  • PG&E will present in this meeting an analysis and justification to return Unit 2 to service and an operational assessmentfor at least 120 days of operation
  • We will also discuss our evaluation of Unit 1 operability and our plans for full cycle operation of Unit 2 We believe we have responded correctly and conservatively to both issues 2

10 Problem Statement and ProposedSolution Where we were/are:

The POB criteria is not satisfied for startup or any operating period for Unit 2 using a 0.6 POD and large flaw(s) found in 2R1 1. The conservatism of previous flaw growth prediction methods was in question - and a concern.

Solutions proposed:

0 Modify POD o Short term - use POD of 1.0 for largest flaw o Longer term - POPCD E Investigate, understand and implement enhanced VDG methodology (with/without 21.5 volt flaw) o Verify that VDG methods are technically correct, statistically valid and conservative 0 Administratively plug tubes at lower bobbin voltage M Appropriately benchmark methods 11

Crack Growth and Voltage Dependent Growth Evaluation Objectives

  • Review fundamental principles affecting voltage growth rates
  • Review and assess domestic and international experience with voltage growth rates including models for voltage growth e Assess causative factors for large voltage increase in DCPP-2 R44C45
  • Review and assess DCPP-2 voltage growth rates based on international experience with ,voltage growth
  • Assess need for increasing 2R1 1 voltage growth distributions for 2R12 and define adjustments if required 12

General Considerationsfor Voltage Growth Rates

  • Large increases in voltage growth rates do not imply similar increases in depth growth rates

"* Voltage increases exponentially with depth'

"* Voltage further increases exponentially with TW length after 100% depth reached

"* Increases in voltage growth rates with an increase in population above about 1.0 volt can be expected based upon exponential increase in voltage with depth even if growth in depth is constant 13

General Considerationsfor Voltage Growth Rates

  • Progressive voltage growth increases from cycle to cycle are more dependent upon larger BOC depths than increases in depth growth rates

'10

Additional Considerationsfor Voltage Growth Rates Causal factors such as chemistry and temperature increases due to plugging are not a major factor in large voltage increases at DCPP-2

"* Based on multiple plant chemistry reviews conducted following cycles with large voltage growths including DCPP

"* Cycle to cycle temperature increases due to plugging are typically less than one degree which has a small effect on crack growth

"* Large temperature differences between plants, such as 10 degrees or more, can significantly influence growth rate differences between plants 17

Growth Rate Modeling

  • Belgian model for voltage growth as function of BOC volts: bilinear model

"* 'Threshold' average growth constant (range of 0.15 to 0.32 volt/EFPY) up to 'transition' voltage

"* Transition typically in range of 0.8 to 1.3 volt

"* Above transition, average growth and standard deviation increase linearly with BOC volts I

Growth Rate Modeling

  • Belgian bilinear model similar in application to EPRI recommended voltage dependent growth method

"* Domestic lowest voltage growth distribution up to about 1.0 volt tends to be relatively constant with time

"* Voltage growth rates for BOC volts above 1.0 to 1.5 volts tend to show increasing growth rate as the population voltages increase with time

"* Voltage bins should be selected to obtain an adequate number of growth values in a bin to reflect a reasonable probability for the larger growth rates zU

Maximum Voltage Growth per EFPY

  • Largest Growth Rate Based on European Growth Data

"* European growth data given in EPRI database Addendum 2

"* Data provide an upper bound on growth rate

"* Maximum growth bounded by about 11 volts/EFPY for BOC voltages up to about 5 volts

° DCPP-2 Maximum Voltage Growth

  • Maximum growth rate of 11.8 volts for SG 2-4 R44C45 21

Maximum Voltage Growth per EFPY

  • Implications of largest growth rate experience

"* All domestic and European growth experience show maximum growth below about 5 BOC volts bounded by about 11 volts

"* No further increases in largest growth rate would be expected in the next operating cycle

"* Estimates for voltage growth in Cycle 12 do not require an increase in the maximum growth rate 2z

European Voltage Dependent Growth Experience

"* Larger European repair limits and large number of indications permit evaluation of growth dependence on BOC volts

"*Large population of higher voltage BOC indications show that increases in growth rates with BOC voltage occur as small, well defined steps M Data evaluated in BOC 0.5 volt bins

"*No large step increases in voltage bin growth rates - similar to Belgian model 25

SG 2-4 R44C45 Crack Growth Considerations

  • Comparison of R44C45 Average Depth Growth with Other Axial ODSCC Distributions

"* Growth distributions available for freespan and TSP intersection indications 0 Plants with large growth rates that successfully operated a full cycle following occurrence of large ODSCC indications

"* R44C45 average depth growth of about 12%

corresponds to about 75% cumulative probability for large growth rate distributions

Conclusion:

R44C45 does not have a large growth rate in depth AA 30

"* Voltage dependent growth found in SGs 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 above about 1 volt with somewhat reduced voltage dependent growth in SG 2-3

"* The small population of indications above about 1.2 volts for these SGs makes it impractical to define a voltage dependent growth distribution for these SGs

"* Application of SG 2-4 growth distributions to SGs 2-1 to 2-3 is appropriate o Bounds potential growth for a more

"* Cycle 11 does not show a large increase in growth over that found in Cycle 10 except for the R44C45 indication

"* All SGs show growth dependence on BOC voltage although the voltage dependence is not well defined for SGS 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 due to the small population of indications above about 1.2 volts

"* The lowest (_* 0.6 volt) and upper voltage bins (> 1.2 volt) shows essentially the same growth distributions between Cycles 10 and 11

"* Only the middle bin (0.6 to 1.2 volt) shows an increase in growth compared to Cycle 10 43

Average Voltage Growth

  • Average Voltage Growth

"* Modest increase in average growth for.SG 2 4 over last three cycles is consistent with increased, population above about 1 volt and very likely is not indicative of a large increase in depth growth rates

"* DCPP-2 average growth in SG 2-4 tends shows a, modest increase of about 10% per cycle 44

Voltage Growth Rates for PlantsA-1 and AC-2 "Plant A-1 SG C voltage growth

"* The Plant A-1 data show a single large growth rate but no significant trend toward BOG voltage dependence

"* Large single growth similar to DCPP-1 R44C45

"* Plant AC-2 SG C growth rate

"* The Plant AC-2 growth data show large growth rates even at low voltages and do not show a significant dependence on BOO volts

"* Large growth enhanced by high temperatures (620 0 F) and cannot be compared with DCPP-2 voltage growth

Conclusion:

The DCPP-2 SG 2-4 voltage dependent growths show higher frequency for moderate growths (<3 volts/EFPY) at higher voltages (> 1.2 volt) than all but one of the four plants found with large EOC indications 58

Bobbin Voltage Growth Dependence on BOC +PointVolts Reason for assessing dependence of bobbin voltage growth on BOC +Point volts At 2R10, the R44C45 indication had a +Point voltage based on line by line sizing of 2.97 volts and a bobbin voltage of 2.0 volts for a +Point to bobbin voltage ratio of 1.5.

  • +Point to bobbin voltage ratios above unity are infrequent for ODSCC indications at TSP intersections and likely indicate a dominant single crack at the TSP intersection 0 R44C45 also had the largest bobbin voltage growth 61

Bobbin Voltage Growth Dependence on BOC +PointVolts Potential factor for large bobbin growth of R44C45

"* The high BOC +Point voltage is indicative of a potential, through-wall indication'

"* A high +Point to bobbin voltage ratio coupled with a significantly high +Point voltage (i.e., > 1.5 to 2.0 volts) may imply an indication that could have a large voltage growth in the next cycle 62

+PointVolts The 2R1 1 data do not show any indications above a

+Point voltage of 1.5 volts with +Point to bobbin coil ratios > 1.10 (indications plugged based on preventive repair limit for Cycle 12)

"* Data includes 100% +Point inspection of TSP bobbin indications above 1 volt and a sample of indications below 1 volt

"* A few indications below 1 bobbin volt show higher

+Point to bobbin voltage ratios o However, the 1R10 data below +Point voltages of about 1.5 do not show any trend of increasing bobbin voltage growth with BOC

"* All +Point- indications below 1.2 bobbin volts satisfy structural integrity at EOC-12

"* No very large bobbin voltage growth would be expected for these indications o SG 2-4 R15C45 preventively plugged for further confidence M 69

Assessment of Voltage Growth Dependence on BOC +PointVolts

"*BOG +Point voltages up to about 1.5 volts do not appear to be a potential indicator for high bobbin voltage growth

"*Indications with +Point volts < 1.5 would likely have maximum depths < 85% (based on correlation with destructive exam data), and growth to a long through wall length for a large bobbin voltage growth is unlikely

  • Long throughwall would require a near uniform depth flaw ("bath tub" flaw) which has a low likelihood of, occurrence

"*No conclusion can be drawn for BOC +Point voltages

Observationson DCPP-2 Voltage Growth Rates

"* SG 2-4 growth in bin up to 0.6 volt did not change between Cycles 10 and 11

"*SG 2-4 growth in bin above 1.2 volt (excluding R44C45) is essentially the same for Cycles 10 and Cycle 11

"*SG 2-4 growth in bin between 0.6 volt and 1.2 volt shows a small increase from Cycle 10 to Cycle 11

"* SG 2-4 growth in the upper bin (> 1.2 volt) is very conservative compared to the European experience based on a large population of indications

"*The DCPP-2 growth distributions show smaller growth rates than found in other domestic plants having high growth rates

"*The DCPP-2 growth in depth for Cycle 11 shows a lower growth rate distribution than found in other plants tending toward large ODSCC growth rates

"*The average growth rates in DCPP-2 increased by about 10% per cycle over the last two cycles -

"* Growth rates in this bin have been essentially the same for the last two cycles with the exception of the R44C45 indication with the maximum growth rate for both cycles bounded by 3 volts per EFPY

"* A large growth (R44C45) rate occurred only once in the last two cycles so the appropriate. fraction for the large growth rate is one divided by the sum of the indications in the two growth distributions

Discussion of Results

"* The N=25 case actually has a slightly higher error standard deviation.

"*The actual value of 26 results because of the 25th and 26th voltages are the same.

0 Thus, the actual is also 25.

"*Setting N=25 manually forces the segregation voltage value lower.

  • The solution cannot converge to a higher voltage value to minimize the error.

"*Conclusion - Setting N=25 is inappropriate relative to minimizing the standard error.

86

Analysis of Cycle 10 & 11 Results

"* The Tri-Linear regression is sufficient to identify locations where the data are indicating a different dependent behavior.

"*One observation was that very similar results are obtained for different starting values because changes in the standard deviation of the error can be slight.

"* Conclusion

  • Bin segregation values of 0.59 and 1.66 Volts are appropriate for the VDG analysis of the ODSCC ARC indications.

"* Both industry and staff results show bounding pressure drops about factor of 2 higher than codes

"*ANL conclusion: Little need for additional T&H analyses for SLB transients

"*Overall conclusion: RELAP5 loads increased by 1.5 factor provide bounding loads for TSP displacement analyses A A 102

Axial Pull Force Tests for Tube to TSP Displacement

  • Breakaway force database (WCAP and RAI responses)

"* Lab RT (4 tests): 320 to 3000 lbs

"* Lab Hot (4 tests): 2184 to 4790 lbs

  • Foreign pulled tubes (reduced by about 50% by chemical cleaning RT (10 tests): 1313 to 4496 lbs Hot (4 tests): 1798 to 3664 lbs
  • Domestic pulled tubes - see table (adds 1 new DCPP value)

, Conclusion Maximum SLB load of 60 lbs/intersection is much lower than required forces to initiate tube to TSP displacement for packed tube to TSP crevices 1 U4

WCAP-14707 Leak Test Data

"* Lab specimens (non-prototypic denting)

  • Supports trend to zero leakage with denting

"* Non-dented pulled tubes from Dampierre-1

"* Average leak rate for 7 tests at 1450 psid

- <3E-04 gpm

"* Average leak rate for 5 tests at 2495 psid

- <1.5E-04 gpm

"* Negligible increase in leak rates with TSP displacements up to 0.16"

"* Negligible effect of chemical cleaning up to about 0.16" TSP displacements o Chemical cleaning removed deposits from crevice for about 0.08" from TSP edges JA 10U

DCPP-2In-Situ Test Results

"* Room temperature leak test results 0 13 tests performed N 8 did not leak at NOP conditions o Largest leak = 0.004 gpm (R44C45, no SLB test)

E All leaked at SLB conditions o Largest leak = 0.0232 gpm (SG 2-1, R30C41)

"*Crevice gap closure due to AP and temperature

"* AP: NOP = 0.00028, SLB = 0.00051

"* Temperature (600'F) = 0.0034 (not included in tests)

"° Conclusions

"* Very likely no leakage at operating temperatures

"* Cycle 11 operating leakage likely due to U bend indications 107

Structural TSP DisplacementAnalyses

  • ANL sensitivity analyses

"* Model a SG quadrant o WCAP modeled two quadrants with'two models to assess all tube locations

"* Static-elastic calculations expected to yield conservative TSP displacements o WCAP is a dynamic time history analysis

"* Looked at effect of a limited number (*A10) locked tubes per TSP quarter o WCAP assumes all TSPs have packed crevices 108

Conclusions from ANL Analyses 9 ANL Sensitivity Analysis Results

"* Tube bending stresses resulting from the MSLB are negligible

"* Tube axial stiffness concluded to be several orders of magnitude higher than out-of-plane support plate stiffness

"* Plate displacements are shown to be dramatically reduced if only a single tube (per plate quarter) is considered to be locked, 0.44 inch to 0.054 inch. The displacement at the tube/TSP interface is reduced to 0.013 inch.

"* With as few as four locked tubes per plate quarter, the axial load in the tubes are less than yield (5 kips)

"* Axial loads up to 5000 pounds (tube yield) do not have a significant effect on burst pressure or crack opening characteristics for axial cracks of 0.5 inch in length or less

Conclusion:

The results of the sensitivity study are supportive of the analysis results in WCAP-14707 -

109

Overall Locked TSP Conclusions

  • All new information supports WCAP-14707 evaluations

"* Staff TRAC-M hydraulic loads less than WCAP

"* ANL structural sensitivity studies support WCAP results

"* New DCPP-2 pulled tube breakaway forces adequate to support locked TSP analyses

"* New DCPP-2 in-situ test results support little or no leakage from indications at TSP intersections 110

Risk Assessment

  • Objective

"* Assessment of risk significance for operating a full cycle following 2R1 1, leaving in service SG tubes with small ODSCC indications

"* The Risk Assessment (RA) is consistent with TS and GL 95-05, Section 6.a.3 requirement 0 ,If the calculated conditional POB under postulated MSLB condition exceeds 1.OE-02, licensees should provide an assessment of safety significance of the calculated POB prior to returning to service.

  • Risk Significance Criteria

Risk Assessment Major Assumptions and Assertions

"* ODSCC indications are covered by the TSPs, do not directly communicate with the SGs, and their leakage to the SGs under normal and most accident conditions is restricted by the TSPs' packed crevices, if TSPs remain in place.

"* The DCPP TSPs are locked in position and will not be vertically displaced under normal and most accident conditions.

"* The worst case end of cycle freespan calculated conditional POB (i.e., 0.06) is used for this risk assessment.

o POD of 0.6, 21.5 V indication included, 1.2 V plugging

"* All containment bypass sequences are conservatively assumed to contribute to the LERF figure of merit.

112

Risk Assessment

  • Possible Impacts

"* Impact on Spontaneous Tube Rupture Frequency. No credible impact due to o Large leaks during normal operation not possible due to tight gap between TSPs and tubes.

o Axial ODSCC indications will not propagate outside of the TSP area.

o In-situ test of the largest degraded tube supports this judgment.

"* Impact on-Accident Mitigation Capability.

o Four Accident classes were evaluated and one class was quantified.

113

Risk Assessment

° Possible Impacts on Accident Mitigation Capability (Cont.)

"* Class 1.- Events with potential to vertically displace TSP but no additional AP across tubes. Seismic events are potential contributors but are not credible because 0 seismic-induced load on the TSP is negligible

"* Class 2- Secondary side depressurization sequences that could potentially vertically displace TSP and significantly increase AP across tubes.

o Major SLB and MFW breaks o This Class is possible contributor. Contribution is quantified.

114

Risk Assessment Possible Impacts on Accident Mitigation (Cont.)

"* Class 3- Severe accident thermal challenge-induced tube rupture events.

"o High and Dry core damage sequences causing failure of flawed tube prior to failure of other RCS components "o Not credible because TSPs will remain in place

- They are not directly exposed to the high temperatures condition.

- Comparatively, TSPs are very thick in the radial direction.

"* Class 4- Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) sequences (High Pressure).

o Not credible since no potential to vertically displace TSPs 115

"° Detected indications in tube R5C62 as far back as 1996, slow growth based on bobbin voltage and increasing number of indications over time

  • Bobbinindications only found after flaws located with +Point

"* Could not detect indications in any of the other tubes because of their small amplitude, orientation and difficult location

"° There were no indicators in the bobbin or +Point data that could be used to identify susceptible tubes 70 133

Tube ID Visual Inspection Summary Scope

  • Performed visual inspections in the 15 tubes with indications:

0 3 Row 1 U bends

  • 12 Row 3 to 10 U bends
  • U bend visual inspection results were generally consistent with ECT data with respect to flaw location, orientation and magnitude

Tube Manufacturingand Bending

"* SG 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 1-1, and 1-2 tubing was made and bent at Blairsville.

"* SG 1-3 and 1-4 tubing was made and bent at Huntington Alloy.

"* The tubes were inspected by eddy current, UT (for wall thickness), and visual. The tubing was boxed and shipped to Tampa where the SGs were assembled.

" All tubes bent with a concave form. Blairsville used a

stationary form, Huntington used a rotating form.

"* Rows 1 through 10 used a concave pressure die. Rows 11 and higher used a flat pressure die.

"* Rows 1 and 2 used a ball mandrel.

Root Cause

" Based on the investigation and analysis performed to date, PWSCC is the cause for the indications found in the U bend

" All of the factors required for the onset of PWSCC in the U bend region are present, specifically:

"* critical service environment: RCS inventory at normal operating temperature and within specified chemistry

"* time at temperature: 8 to 14 EFPY to incipient cracking

"* susceptible material: Mill annealed Alloy 600 significant tensile stress (residual plus operating) that are a significant fraction of the yield strength,

  • residual stresses are an inherent result of the bending process 139

Future Plans

"* Document all of the information that was used as the basis for the cause analysis

"* Review Framatome report and Westinghouse report (reports will be made available to NRC)

"* Issue cause analysis report by March 20, 2003 (40 days from initiation of Non Conformance Report)

"* Determine critical area for future U bend examinations in Units 1 and 2 - Degradation Assessment

"* Determine U bend inspection plan for next Unit 1 and Unit 2 outages

"* Work with industry to address potential generic implications 140

Requested NRC Actions

"* Approve LAR for use of 1.0 POD for R44C45-2H by 3/7/03

"*Approve startup and operation of Unit 2 for 120 days

"*Review and approve DCPP POPCD for Unit 2 cycle 12 by 6/1/03

"* Review pulled tube results and full cycle OA (estimated completion 90 days after startup) 141

NRC Feedback 142

Unit I Operability

  • Approach with U bends
  • Conclusion 143

Approach with U bends e Strategy

"* Determine if Unit 1 bobbin data could be used to detect circumferential defects

"* Review past Unit 2 data to determine growth rate of indications in-U bends

"* Determine if Unit 2 condition bounds Unit 1

"* Perform in-situ tests of Unit 2 U bends to determine worst case structural integrity

"* Compare Unit 1 and 2 leakage history 144

Review of Unit I Bobbin Data

" Reviewed Unit 2 bobbin and +Point U bend data

"* Bobbin not qualified todetect circumferential flaws

"* Only some of flaws in R5C62 were detectable on re examination when location known from +Point

"* Reviewed SG 2-1 bobbin data using expanded analyst guidance

"* Called 93 bobbin indications

"* Follow-up +Point of entire SG 2-1 concluded all 93 calls were false

"* Actual SG 2-1 flaws identified with +Point not detectable with bobbin

"* Because of poor detection capability decision was made to inspect 100% of Unit 2 U bends with +Point "Unit1 bobbin data review would be inconclusive 145

Review of Past Unit 2 Data

"* Although could not use Unit 2 bobbin data to screen for new flaws, tried to use bobbin data to track flaw history,

  • With flaw. locations identified with +Point, can see some bobbin response when change scale and frequencies

"° Decreasing number of bobbin responses visible back several cycles to 2R7

"* Establishes approximate flaw growth rate for Unit 2 U bends

"* Actual crack growth rate should be slower 146

Unit 2 Bounding Unit 1

  • Unit 2 Leakage <4 gpd at end of cycle

"* Leakage during cycle 11 varied from about 2 to 6 gpd

"* Leakage during cycle 10 was 1-2 gpd

"* Leakage from R5C62 U bend estimated to be approximately 4 gpd

  • Total Unit 1 leakage approximately 1 gpd and stable for last cycle and this cycle

"* If all leakage from a single Unit 1 U bend, flaw opening bounded by Unit 2 leakage

"* Estimated TW crack length of R5C62 about 0.17" 147

Unit 2 U bend In-situ Test Performed in-situ test of worst case, Unit 2 U bend (R5C62)

"* Did not burst at 3AP and met leakage requirements (leakage at SLB AP was 0.004 gpm)

"* Meets all performance criteria

"* Demonstrates structural and leakage integrity of tube 148 1,

Unit I U bend Conclusion

  • Unit 2 condition bounds Unit 1

"* Unit 2 worst case tube meets all performance criteria - Unit 1 will as well

"* Unit 2 worst case tube maintains structural integrity

- Unit 1 will as well

  • Unit- I bobbin data not capable of being used to identify circumferential flaws in U bends 149

Approach for ODSCC

  • Determine if Unit 2 bounds Unit 1
  • Develop worst case growth rate from Unit 2 and apply to Unit 1

"* Consider both 0.6 POD and POPCD

"* Determine if still. meet POB and leakage limits at end of cycle I

  • ll.,=

IOU

Unit 2 Bounding Unit I

"* Reviewed 1RI 1 eddy current data

"* Determined that Unit I ODSCC crack growth rate is >1 cycle behind Unit 2 growth rates

"* Number of Unit 1 (EOC 11) as-found and large flaws less than Unit 2 (EOC 10) (420/2 for Unit 1 vs. 493/14 for Unit 2)

"* Unit 2 EOC 10 VDG analysis more pronounced than Unit 1 EOC 11

"*Unit 2 has experienced greater saltwater in leakage from condenser than Unit 1 151

Unit 2 Worst Case Growth Rate

  • Developed a VDG based on SG 2-4 (worst of Unit 2 SGs)
  • Applied Unit 2 SG 2-4 VDG to Unit 1

"* Calculation with POPCD, POB and leakage below limits for cycle

"* Calculation with 0.6 POD with 21.5V flaw included in growth, POB and leakage below limits through 1.4EFPY (approx 12/25/03) 152

Locked Tube Support Plates

"* Although not NRC approved, tube pull force data and analysis of SLB loads indicate tubes are locked into TSPs (WCAP-14707) as presented earlier

"*Tubes not expected to displace during steam line break

- no tube burst and limited leakage expected during event 153

ODSCC Conclusion

  • Unit 2 ODSCC growth rates are worse than Unit 1 (approx 1 cycle behind)
  • Applied worst case growth from Unit 2 to Unit 1 M POPCD indicates full cycle operation 0 0.6 POD indicates operation through 1.4 EFPY
  • TSPs are locked, minimizing potential for burst and leakage 154
