REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAIs)
FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS TO SECTION 4.7.7 TIME LIMITED AGING ANALYSIS RAIs Section 4.7.7 of the LRA evaluated loss of preload of the core plate hold-down bolts due to thermal and irradiation effects in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii).
For the 40-year lifetime, the Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project-25 (BWRVIP-25),
concluded that all core plate hold-down bolts will maintain some preload throughout the life of the plant. For the period of extended operation, the expected loss of preload was assumed to be 20%, which bounds the original BWRVIP analysis. With a loss of 20% in preload, the core plate will maintain sufficient preload to prevent sliding under both normal and accident conditions.
Based on this assumption, the applicant concludes that the loss of preload is acceptable for the period of extended operation. The NRC staff previously sent RAIs 4.7.7-1 and 4.7.7-2 by letter dated March 3, 2005. The following are follow up questions.
RAI 4.7.7-3 (a) In response to RAI-4.7.7-2(b), the applicant referenced stress relaxation curves that were developed by General Electric Nuclear Energy (GENE). Provide the data that was used to develop the curves and explain how this data was utilized to establish the curves.
(b) The applicants response referenced a paper by J.P. Foster, Analysis of In-reactor Stress Relaxation Using Irradiation Creep Models, which provides data regarding the relationship between the irradiation creep stress/strain vs. displacements per atom (dpa) by using a McVetty equation. Did General Electric Company (GE) use this equation to calculate the maximum stress relaxation curve for the type 304 stainless steel bolts at the end-of-life fluence (54 EFPY) for the BFN Units?
RAI 4.7.7-4 To justify the GENE analysis, the applicant referenced Figure 7-13 of the BWRVIP-99 report, Crack Growth Rates in Irradiated Stainless Steels in BWR Internal Components, which shows data and modeling projections for stress relaxation versus fluence values measured in displacements per atom (dpa), for 20% cold worked type 316 stainless steel material. Provide an explanation as to why the type 316 stainless steel data is applicable to the type 304 stainless steel core plate hold-down bolts at the BFN units.
RAI 4.7.7-5 The paper by J.P. Foster uses a Half-Nelson model to calculate displacement damage (measured as dpa) due to radiation. Provide the dpa values for type 304 core plate hold-down bolts that correspond to end-of-life fluence (54 EFPY) using the "Half-Nelson" model or its equivalent for the BFN units.
RAI 4.7.7-6 Provide justification for the application of relaxation curves obtained in torsion to axial relaxation in bolts.
RAI 4.7.7-7 BWRVIP-25, Appendix B refers to a letter dated January 15, 1997, from V. L. McCarthy to B. A.
McAllister, GENE, Core Plate Bolt Relaxation Calculations for Extended Period of Operation.
The staff requests that the applicant provide these calculations so that it can evaluate the stress relaxation of the core plate hold-down bolts for the end-of-life fluence (54 EFPY) for the BFN units. The applicant may like to make appropriate proprietary determination as necessary to make original vendor evaluation available for staff review.
