Dear Sir or Madam:
The purpose of this letter is for the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) to submit a response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Request for Additional Information (RAI) dated April 7, 2008 (Reference 1). The additional information requested by the RAI is in support of the NRC review of the 10 CFR 50.55a request (RI-35, Revision 1) for the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) submitted by letter dated March 27, 2008 (Reference 2). The 10 CFR 50.55a request submitted by Reference 2 was a request to use alternatives to the dissimilar metal weld requirements of Section XI of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
The response to the RAI is provided as Attachment 1. Approval of RI-35, Revision 1 is requested as soon as practicable in order to support weld repair work, if needed, for Refueling Outage 24. Based on discussions with the NRC Project Manager for CNS, verbal approval can be issued if needed, provided that the request is justified.
Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact David Van Der Kamp, Licensing Manager, at (402) 825-2904.

NLS2008042 Page 1 of 5 Attachment 1 Response to Request for Additional Information (RAI)
Related to Relief Request RI-35, Revision 1 Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS), Docket No. 50-298, DPR-46 The NuclearRegulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the Nebraska Public Power District(the licensee)[NPPD]March 27, 2008, Response To Request ForAdditional Information regardingRequest RI-35, Revision 1 for the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) and has determined that additionalinformation is necessary to complete the review of their requestfor relief Based on the staff's review, pleaseprovide a response which addresses the following requestfor additionalinformation questions.
- 1. NRC Request The licensee has stated that the weld overlay of the dissimilarmetal welds may require welding on more than 300 square inches of surface on some of the materials shown in Table 1 of Request Number RI-35, Revision 1. Provide sketches and calculations tojustify the basisfor the maximum surface area of weld overlay for ComponentNumbers RAS-BF-1, RBS-BF-1 and RAS-BF-12 shown in Table ] of Request Number R-1-35, Revision 1.
NPPD Response The following table is provided in lieu of sketches and calculations. The design rules require that the weld overlay extend a sufficient distance on either side of the defect location to provide for effective load transfer across the defect location. The repair length on the safe end side and the nozzle side will be extended to provide sufficient access to allow for ultrasonic testing examination of the repair and underlying volume. Based on the nominal diameters and the calculated size of the repair, the minimum required areas for each side of the flaw are summarized below. The maximum areas include some additional margin:
Nozzle Nominal WOL Minimum Minimum Maximum 4 OD CircumferenceI WOL WOL Area 3 WOL Area (in) (in) Length2 (in 2) (in2)
(in)
RAS-BF-1 29.0625 91.3 4 365.2 420 RBS-BF-1 29.0625 91.3 4 365.2 420 RAS-BF-12 20 62.8 2.5 157 180 Note 1: Circumference = OD x 7c Note 2: L = 0.75*/Rt where L is the full thickness length of the repair on each side of the observed weld. Note the length is rounded up.
Note 3: Area= circumference x length Note 4: Maximum area is based on minimum area required plus a 15% margin.
NLS2008042 Page 2 of 5
- 2. NRC Request In Table I of Request Number RI-35, Revision 1, and "Material1 "for several components is shown as "Nozzle.: A-508 Class 2 CS. " This implies thatASME SA-508 Class 2 is a carbon steel material (P-1 material). This is incorrect. ASME SA-508 Class 2 is a low alloy steel material (P-3 material). As this clarificationis importantwith respect to the qualificationof the welding procedurewhich will be used to apply the weld overlay, please correct this discrepancy.
NPPD Response NPPD did not intend any confusion in using the CS suffix for A-508 Class 2 material. NPPD used it to clarify that the nozzle material is different from the stainless steel safe end. NPPD concurs that this material is P-3 (low alloy steel) per ASME Section IX.
- 3. NRC Request In Table I of Request Number RI-35, Revision 1, one of the materials to be welded is shown as, "Pipe:A-155 Class ] CS. " NRC cannotfind a material with this class of A-155. Please identify the material designation of this material, including materialtype or class and year of this designation. As noted above, documentation of this information is significant with respect to ensuringproper qualification of the welding procedurewhich will be used to apply the weld overlay.
NPPD Response A- 155 is an older standard for electric-fusion-welded steel pipe suitable for high-pressure service for use at high, intermediate, or low temperatures. The class 1 designation means that the pipe was required to be heat treated and radiographed. The grade is KC-70. This material specification was annulled by the ASME in 1980 and was replaced by SA-671, SA-672, or SA-691. The use of A-155 Class 1 was allowed by the construction code, ANSI B31.1-1967. A copy of the material specification (circa 1976) can be obtained directly from ASME.
- 4. NRC Request The reliefrequest states thatfull ultrasonic examination of the final weld surface and band area (1.5T width) will not be performed. Provide a sketch similarto Figure 1 in P1-35 to describe how much of the final weld surface and band area will be post-weld examined using the ultrasonic method and how much of the final weld surface and band area will be examined by the liquidpenetrant method. Provide a detailedexplanationfor the basis that the liquid penetrantmethod can be substitutedfor the ultrasonicmethod in areas where the ultrasonicmethod will not be used.
NLS2008042 Page 3 of 5 NPPD Response Full ultrasonic examination of the 1.5T band will not be possible due to geometric interferences. The ultrasonic examination may not extend up to the very edge of the overlay.
The weld overlay will extend into the blend radius of the nozzle for structural reinforcement.
This extension into the blend radius eliminates a stress riser on the nozzle and may provide additional surface area for ultrasonic examination of the defect area in the original weld.
Figures 1 and 2 identify the extent of coverage expected for scans in the circumferential and axial directions. The full WOL surface will be scanned.
Because this is a surface application of a temperbead welding process (specifically performed to minimize heat input into the ferritic steel nozzle), there is minimal impact to the volume of the ferritic shell nozzle material in the area surrounding the weld overlay. Also, no additional useful information can be gained by a volumetric examination of the area beyond the physical boundaries of the weld overlay. The weld and heat affected zone beneath the weld overlay will be volumetrically examined after welding to ensure that sound weld metal has been deposited and that the process did not introduce flaws into the base material.
Surface examinations of the weld overlay surface will be performed (See Figure 3 for the examination area). This is sufficient to verify that defects were not introduced in either the ferritic steel nozzle or stainless steel safe-end due to welding.
Later editions of Section Xl as well as Code Case N-638-2 have deleted the requirement for the 1.5T examination band for both ultrasonic examination and surface examination. This is consistent with the less restrictive requirements for ultrasonic examination of the ferritic nozzle because hydrogen cracking away from the temper bead weld is not considered a concern. The nondestructive examination (NDE) requirements in these documents apply to any type of welding where a temperbead technique is to be employed (which includes weld repairs of excavated flaws) and is not specifically written for weld overlay. For the weld overlay type of repair, any ferritic steel base material cracking would occur in the HAZ directly below or adjacent to the weld overlay and not in the 1.5T examination band of ferritic material beyond the edges of the weld overlay. If this type of cracking occurs it will be detected by the NDE of the weld overlay and adjacent ferritic steel surfaces as described in the relief request and non-mandatory Appendix Q.
