Experiences with Large Component Replacements Jeffrey Spilker Supervisor - Nuclear Projects Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

License Renewal

  • Granted in 2004, solidified corporate support for life to 2033 and beyond.

- Economics

- Reliable Operation

- Efficiency

- Extended Power Uprate (EPU) of 17%

Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

2005 Outage

  • Condenser Replacement

- Chronic tube/tube sheet leakage

- Chloride pitting 7% of one bundle

- Under sized for current power, now EPU

- Overall health of RSG

- Titanium tubes

  • Moisture Separator Refurbishment

- Efficiency

- Reduce moisture Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

2006 Outage

  • Nuclear Steam Supply System Refurbishment Project (NSSSRP)

- Steam Generators

- Pressurizer

- Reactor Vessel Head

- Rapid Refueling Package (aka - Integrated Head Assembly)

Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

Steam Generators

  • Among longest service alloy 600 mill annealed

- IGSCC, dents at carbon steel supports, inspection cost

  • Improvements

- Integral forged piping nozzles and forged shells

- Alloy 690 thermally treated tubing

- Feedring and loose parts trap

- Inspection port access

- Supports - wear & corrosion

  • Anti-vibration bars
  • Broached hole
  • Stainless steel

- Tube expansion techniques - reduced stresses

- Blowdown

- Sized for EPU Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

Pressurizer

  • One leak at temperature nozzle. 72 heater nozzles.

- Predict failure in plant life

- Concern of leak at start-up

- Containment opening available

  • Improvements

- Integral forged piping nozzles and forged shells

- Stainless steel heater sleeves

- 36 heaters

- Alloy 52/152 weld material

- Increased size - EPU operational benefit

- TE for thermal transient monitoring

- Insulation access for inspection Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

Reactor Vessel Head

  • Replacement

- High inspection costs

- Predict failure during plant life

- Containment opening available

  • Improvements

- Mono-block forging

- Eliminate extra nozzles

- Alloy 690/52/152 materials

- Minimize J-groove stresses Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

Rapid Refueling Package

  • Replacement

- CEDM upper housing leaks - PWSCC on spare housings

- Outage time constraints, space available and predicted dose

  • Improvement

- CEDM upper housing design for stress and weld reduction

- Improved cooling with focus on housings and EEQ

- Minimize outage time Reactor Coolant Pumps/Motors - Not part of NSSSRP

  • Rotating through pumps and motors for rebuild Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

2006 Outage

  • Low Pressure Turbine Rotors

- Indications of SCC in disk

- Benefit of efficiency

- Size for EPU

- Copper - Impact on RSG

- Size for EPU

- Degradation of Insulation Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station

Planned Projects

- High Pressure Turbine

  • Efficiency

- Generator Rewind

  • Rerate
  • Time and temperature on insulation

- Feedwater Heaters - possible

  • Pressure and flow
  • Transformers

- Spare house and auxiliary Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station
