515012728-3 Page 2 of 3 An arMact of the 360-degree temper bead weld repairs of Control Rod Drive Mechanism nozzles Is an anomaly In the weld at the triple point The triple point is the juncture of Fte low alloy head, the alloy 600 nozzle and possibly a previously applied alloy 52 weld bead. The previous weld bead possibility arises from the variation in depth of the machined bore. The first weld layer Is on the low alloy steel bore and may not actually weld on the triple point. The second layer would then be the te-in at the triple point. Due to a combination of factors, this area of the weld has crack-like indications that could be 360 degrees around the nozzle. The crack-like Indication extends from the existing crevice Into the weld at angles from 0 to 90 degrees, where 90 degrees Is In the through-thickness direction of the nozzle and zero degrees is along the low alloy fusion line. Mock-up testing has verified that the anomalies are common and do not exceed .1 Inch In length. The typical length Is closer to .05 Inches. The anomaly may consist of a void with a crack-like indication extending from the void. The combined Indication Is still less than .1 Inch. The void Is principally a lack of fusion to the low alloy steel at the triple point. The anomaly Is a crack-like Indication extending Into the weld and Is not a lack of fusion to the nozzle wall. It Is assumed for conservatism that a .1 Inch Indication could exist In the through-thickness direction of the nozzle. Indications of this conservatively large size have not been observed. Due to its crack-like configuration, this ndication is analytically treated as a flaw.

The Section III analysis Is not affected and consideration of the flaw is made In the flaw evaluation.

An evaluation will be prepared to Justify the as-left condition including te indications up to .1 Inch. The evaluation also Includes a hypothetical planar flaw normal to the circumferential stress. This flaw will be assumed to be a 24o-I elliptical flaw with the minor axis equal to .1 Inch. This type of flaw Is not expected but is Included for completeness since the circumferential stresses are the largest stresses present In the weld area. This evaluation will be prepared In accordance with ASME Section XI and will demonstrate that for the intended service life of the repair, the fatigue crack growth is acceptable and the crack-ike indications remain stable. These two findings will satisfy the Section Xl criteria but will not Include considerations of stress corrosion cracking such as primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) or residual stresses.

Since the crack-ike defects are not exposed to the primary coolant and the air environment Is benign for the materials at the triple point, the time-dependent crack growth rates from PWSCC are not applicable regardless of residual stresses.

Residual stresses may also require consideration for ductile tearing when operating stresses are superimposed. The residual stress field by itself cannot promote ductile tearing or It would not be stable during welding. The anomalies have been shown to be stable by welding mock-ups simulating the actual geometry and materials. Even though the residual stresses for this type of weld would be very complex, it Is apparent that by the size of the weld and the nature of the restraint that the residual stresses would have limited effect on driving a crack. The weld residual stresses are not like piping thermal expansion stresses where there may be considerable stored energy In long runs of pipe. The weld residual stresses are Imposed by the Inability of the weld bead to shrink to a nominal strain condition upon cooling. The attachment of the weld to the surrounding material generally pmmotes tensile stresses In the bead upon cooling. However even though the stresses are

51-501Z728-03 PaVo 3 of 3 generally at the yield strength, the accompanying strains are not large due to the limited size of the beads and in this case the total size of the weld.

It is concluded that the residual stress field will produce minimal ductile tearing The NiCrFe materials are extremely crack-tolerant when not in an aggressive environment and the ASME Section Xi evaluation performed for fatigue growth and net section failure will be adequate. Residual stresses need not be considered because PWSCC effects are not applicable, and the geometry Is not conducive to sustained ductile tearing.
