Vogtle Unit 1 - Pressure Temperature Limits Report Southern Nuclear Vogtfe Unit 1 Pressure Temperature Limits Report Southern Nuclear 1.0 RCS Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)

This PTLR for Vogtle Unit 1 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.6. The TS addressed in this report are listed below:

LCO 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits LCO 3.4.12 Cold Overpressure Protection Systems (COPS)

Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.

2.0 RCS Pressure and Temperature (PMT) Limits The limits for TS 3.4.3 are presented in the subsections which follow and were developed using the NRC approved methodology in WCAP-14040, Revision 4t1 with exception of WCAP-16142-P, Revision 1121 (Elimination of the Flange Requirement). The operability requirements associated with COPS are specified in LCO 3.4.12 and were determined to adequately protect the RCS against brittle fracture in the event of a cold overpressure transient in accordance with the methodology specified in TS 5.6.6.

2.1 RCS P/T Limits (LCO 3.4.3) 2.1.1 The minimum boltup temperature is 600F.

2.1.2 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits are:

a. A maximum heatup rate of 100F in any 1-hour period.
b. A maximum cooldown rate of 100F in any 1-hour period.
c. A maximum temperature change of less than or equal to 100 F in any 1-hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.

2.1.3 The RCS PIT limits for heatup, cooldown, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figures 2-1 and 2-2.

3.0 Cold Overpressure Protection Systems (LCO 3.4.12)

The setpoints for the pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) and arming temperature are presented in the subsections which follow. These setpoints and arming temperature have been developed using the NRC-approved methodology specified in TS 5.6.6.

11 Revision 2 Revision 2

Vogtle Unit 1 - Pressure Temperature Limits Report Southern Nuclear Vogtle Unit 1 Pressure Temperature Limits Report Southern Nuclear 3.1 Pressurizer PORV Setpoints The pressurizer PORV setpoints are specified in Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1.

The limits for the COPS setpoints are contained in the 36 EFPY steady-state curves (Table 2-2), which are beltline conditions and are not compensated for pressure differences between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor midplane/beltline or for instrument inaccuracies. The pressure difference between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor vessel midplane/beltline with four reactor coolant pumps in operation is 74 psi.

Note: These setpoints include an allowance for the 500 F thermal transport effect for heat injection transients. A calculation has been performed to confirm that the setpoints will maintain the system pressure within the established limits when the pressure difference between the pressure transmitter and reactor midplane and maximum temperature/pressure instrument uncertainties are applied to the setpoints.

3.2 Arming Temperature COPS shall be armed when any RCS cold leg temperature is < 2200 F.

4.0 Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program The reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens shall be removed and examined to determine changes in material properties. The removal schedule is provided in UFSAR Table 5.3.1-8. The results of these examinations shall be used to update Figures 2-1, 2-2, and 3-1.

The pressure vessel steel surveillance program (WCAP-1101114 ,) is in compliance with Appendix H131 to 10 CFR 50, "Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program Requirements." The material test requirements and the acceptance standard utilize the reference nil-ductility temperature RTNDT, which is determined in accordance with ASTM E23 15 1. The empirical relationship between RTNDT and the fracture toughness of the reactor vessel steel is developed in accordance with Code Case N-640156 of Section Xl of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Appendix G,'Fracture Toughness Criteria for Protection Against Failure"r7'. The surveillance capsule removal schedule meets the requirements of ASTM E185-823 1". The removal schedule is provided in UFSAR Table 5.3.1-8.

Notes:

a. Calculation of ART values was based on calculated fluence projections and measured data from the previous capsule analysis results (Capsule V, Ref. 10). It should be noted that the fluence projections from Capsule V (Ref. 10) were higher than those from Capsule X (Ref. 12). However, the chemistry factors determined from surveillance data (Table 5-2) are now higher but still lower than the corresponding Position 1.1 chemistry factor.

Therefore, the limiting ART values from Plate B8805-2 could not be exceeded by an updated plate B8805-3 ART value or updated weld ART values. Thus, the original limiting ART value is still valid. Note, the surveillance plate data is now deemed "Non-Credible," but this has no impact based on the preceding discussion.

b. Initial RTNDT values are measured values.
c. ARTNDT = CF
d. M =2 '(a, + ,2)')
e. ART = Initial RTNDT + ARTNDT + Margin ("F); (Rounded per ASTM E29, using the 'Rounding Method").
f. Weld data deemed credible per References 10 and 12. Plate data is now deemed "Non-Credible." See Note "a.r
g. Neutron Fluence value used for all material is the highest value from Reference 10 for 36 EFPY with exception to intermediate shell longitudinal weld 101 -124A and lower shell longitudinal weld 101 -142B which used the fluence at 0° from Table 5-4 for 36 EFPY. It should be noted that the fluence projections from Reference 10 are higher than the updated fluence analysis in Reference 12. See Note "a."

Vogtle Unit 2 - Pressure Temperature Limits Report Southern Nuclear 1.0 RCS Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)

This PTLR for Vogtle Unit 2 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.6. The TS addressed in this report are listed below:

LCO 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits LCO 3.4.12 Cold Overpressure Protection Systems (COPS)

Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.

2.0 RCS Pressure and Temperature (PIT) Limits (LCO 3.4.3)

The limits for TS 3.4.3 are presented in the subsections which follow and were developed using the NRC approved methodology in WCAP-1 4040, Revision 4111 with exception of WCAP-1 6142-P, Revision 1121 (elimination of the flange requirement). The operability requirements associated with the COPS are specified in LCO 3.4.12 and were determined to adequately protect the RCS against brittle fracture in the event of a cold overpressure transient in accordance with the methodology specified in TS 5.6.6.

2.1 RCS P/T Limits (LCO 3.4.3) 2.1.1 The minimum boltup temperature is 600F.

2.1.2 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits are:

a. A maximum heatup rate of 100F in any 1-hour period.
b. A maximum cooldown rate of 100F in any 1-hour period.
c. A maximum temperature change of less than or equal to 100F in any 1-hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.

2.1.3 The RCS P/T limits for heatup, cooldown, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figures 2-1 and 2-2.

3.0 Cold Overpressure Protection Systems (LCO 3.4.12)

The setpoints for the pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) and arming temperature are presented in the subsections which follow. These setpoints and arming temperature have been developed using the NRC-approved methodology specified in TS 5.6.6.

1 Revision 2

Vogtle Unit 2 - Pressure Temperature Limits Report Southern Nuclear 3.1 Pressurizer PORV Setpoints The pressurizer PORV setpoints are specified in Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1.

The limits for the COPS setpoints are contained in the 36 EFPY steady-state curves (Table 2-2), which are beltline conditions and are not compensated for pressure differences between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor midplane/beltline or for instrument inaccuracies. The pressure difference between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor vessel midplane/beltline with four reactor coolant pumps in operation is 74 psi.

Note: These setpoints include an allowance for the 500 F thermal transport effect for heat injection transients. A calculation has been performed to confirm that the setpoints will maintain the system pressure within the established limits when the pressure difference between the pressure transmitter and reactor midplane and maximum temperature/pressure instrument uncertainties are applied to the setpoints.

3.2 Arming Temperature COPS shall be armed when any RCS cold leg temperature is < 2200 F.

4.0 Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program The reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens shall be removed and examined to determine changes in material properties. The removal schedule is provided in UFSAR Table 5.3.1-9. The results of these examinations shall be used to update Figures 2-1, 2-2, and 3-1.

The pressure vessel steel surveillance program (WCAP-1138114 1)is in compliance with Appendix H1 3] to 10 CFR 50, 'Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program Requirements." The material test requirements and the acceptance standard utilize the reference nil-ductility temperature RTNDT, which is determined in accordance with ASTM E23 151. The empirical relationship between RTNDT and the fracture toughness of the reactor vessel steel is developed in accordance with Code Case N-640[5l of Section Xl of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Criteria for Protection Against Failure"m. The surveillance capsule removal schedule meets the requirements of ASTM E185-82181 . The removal schedule is provided in UFSAR Table 5.3.1-9.

a. The initial RTNDT values for the plates and welds are based on measured data.
b. The weld material in the Vogtle Unit 2 surveillance program was made of the same wire and flux as the reactor vessel intermediate to lower shell girth seam weld (101-171). These welds were fabricated using weld wire heat no. 87005, Linde 124 Flux, lot no. 1061. The intermediate shell longitudinal weld seams (101-124A,B,C) and the lower shell longitudinal weld seams (101-142A,B,C) were fabricated using weld wire heat no. 87005, Linde 0091 Flux, lot no. 0145. Hence the surveillance weld is representative of all beltline welds.

a. Calculation of ART values was based on calculated fluence projections and measured data from the previous capsule analysis results (Capsule X, Ref. 10). It should be noted that the fluence projections from Capsule X (Ref. 10) were higher than those from Capsule W (Ref. 12). However, the chemistry factors determined from surveillance data (Table 5-2) are now higher, but still lower than the corresponding Position 1.1 chemistry factor.

Therefore, the limiting ART values from Plate R8-1 could not be exceeded by an updated plate B8628-1 ART value or updated weld ART values. Thus, the original limiting ART value is still valid.
