DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 INSPECTION AND MITIGATION OF ALLOY 82/182 PRESSURIZER BUTT WELDS REF: TXU Power letter, logged TXX-07013, from Mike Blevins to the NRC dated January 30, 2007

Dear Sir or Madam:

By means of the referenced letter, TXU Generation Company LP (TXU Power) previously submitted information on inspection and mitigation of Alloy 82/182 Pressurizer Butt Welds at Comanche Peak.

As requested during a phone conversation between TXU Power and the NRC Staff on February 13, 2007, TXU Power hereby provides the following additional information.

This information was discussed with Mohan Thadani, NRC Project Manager, on February 15, 2007.

The enhanced leakage monitoring program is outlined as follows.

A member of the STARS (Strategic Teaming and Resource Sharing) Alliance A,4o Callaway

  • Comanche Peak e Diablo Canyon 9 Palo Verde a South Texas Project
  • Wolf Creek

TXX-07040 Page 2 of 3 Required elements of the enhanced leakage monitoring program

1. Daily measurement of unidentified leakage
2. Identification of unidentified leakage rates greater than either of the following limits:
  • 0.25 gpm above a baseline sustained for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> with at least 0.25 gpm not confirmed from sources other than Pressurizer nozzle welds.

The baseline should be established using leak rates measured within 7 days after achieving Mode 1 100% power operation following the most recent bare metal visual examination of the Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt weld locations 0.1 gpm change from one day to the next sustained for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> with at least 0.1 gpm not confirmed from sources other than Pressurizer nozzle welds.

3. Once the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> evaluation period is complete and the leak rate is still elevated, place the unit in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and Mode 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> and perform a bare metal visual inspection of unmitigated Pressurizer surge, safety, spray, and relief nozzle butt welds and safe-end butt welds containing Alloy 82/182 material.
4. A positive determination that the source of the unidentified leakage did not come from the Pressurizer will negate the requirement for shutdown and Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt weld bare metal examination.
5. Reports that detail inspection results of unmitigated weld examinations and any corrective or mitigative actions taken and reports on bare metal visual inspection of Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt welds shall be made within 60 days following restart from the plant outage in which the inspections or actions were performed.

The enhanced leakage monitoring program will supplement the existing plant programs and procedures and as such will be in place only until the Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt welds have been successfully mitigated.

Comanche Peak Unit 2 will implement the enhanced leakage monitoring program by March 1, 2007, and it will be in place until the Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt welds have been mitigated in the refueling outage scheduled to begin March 29, 2008.

TXX-07040 Page 3 of 3 Mitigation activities for Comanche Peak Unit 1 are scheduled to be completed in the refueling outage scheduled to begin February 24, 2007. Therefore, the enhanced leakage monitoring program will not be implemented on Unit 1 based on successful mitigation of Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt welds in the Spring 2007 outage.

TXU Power will commit to adopt contingency plans to shutdown by December 31, 2007, if the technical information being developed by MRP (or by industry) through advanced finite element analyses does not provide reasonable assurance to the NRC that PWSCC crack conditions will remain stable and not lead to rupture without significant time from the onset of detectable leakage.

This communication contains new licensing basis commitments for CPSES Units 1 and 2 in addition to the commitments made in the referenced letter which are delineated in the attachment.

Attachment to TXX-07040 Page 1 of I Licensing Basis Commitments for Units 1 and 2 Commitment Commitment Number Description 27419 Inspection and mitigation activities of Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt welds for CPSES Unit 1 are scheduled to be completed during the refueling outage in Spring 2007 and for CPSES Unit 2 are scheduled to be completed during the refueling outage in Spring 2008 (as originally committed in TXX-07013).

27420 Reports that detail inspection results of unmitigated weld examinations and any corrective or mitigative actions taken and reports on bare metal visual inspection of Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt welds shall be made within 60 days following restart from the plant outage in which the inspections or actions were performed (revised in TXX-07040).

27421 CPSES will provide an update to the NRC as necessary regarding changes to our leakage monitoring program by March 31, 2007 (as originally committed in TXX-07013).

27422 Comanche Peak will evaluate the feasibility of plant modifications to install diverse leakage detection capability. This may include, but is not limited to, video monitoring of Pressurizer piping, acoustic monitoring in the area of the Pressurizer, sensitive humidity monitoring, and other methods currently under evaluation. Plans for any additional capability which reliably and meaningfully adds to our ability to diagnose primary system leakage, as well as installation schedules as appropriate will be submitted to the NRC by May 31, 2007 (as originally committed in TXX-07013).

27423 If Comanche Peak Units 1 or 2 should shut down prior to presently planned inspection/ mitigation outages due to unacceptable primary system leakage, and if the leakage cannot be confirmed to originate from a source other than the Pressurizer, a bare metal visual examination of Alloy 82/182 butt weld locations on the Pressurizer will be performed to determine whether the leakage originated at those locations (as originally committed in TXX-07013).

27433 Comanche Peak Unit 2 will implement the enhanced leakage monitoring program by March 1, 2007, and it will be in place until the Pressurizer Alloy 82/182 butt welds have been mitigated in the refueling outage scheduled to begin March 29, 2008.

27434 TXU Power will commit to adopt contingency plans to shutdown by December 31, 2007, if the technical information being developed by MRP (or by industry) through advanced finite element analyses does not provide reasonable assurance to the NRC that PWSCC crack conditions will remain stable and not lead to rupture without significant time from the onset of detectable leakage.
