The purpose of this analysis is to perform a fracture mechanics evaluation of a postulated anomaly in the Davis-Besse Unit 1 (DB-1) Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) nozzle ID temper bead weld. This anomaly is assumed to be a 0.1 inch semi-circular flaw extending 360 degrees around the circumference at the "triple point" location where there is a confluence of three materials; the Alloy 600 nozzle, the Alloy 52M weld, and low alloy steel head.

Two potential flaw propagation paths are considered in the flaw evaluations. The analysis includes prediction of fatigue crack growth in an air environment since the anomaly is located on the outside surface of the new weld, just below the bottom of the severed nozzle. Flaw acceptance is based on the 1995 through 1996 ASME Code Section XI criteria for applied stress intensity factor (IWB-3612) and limit load (IWB-3642).

The results of the analysis demonstrate that the 0.1 inch weld anomaly is acceptable for a 25 year evaluation life of the CRDM nozzle ID temper bead weld repair. However, note that the design life of the RVCH, as per the design specification is 4 years (Ref. 2). Significant fracture toughness margins have been demonstrated for each of the two flaw propagation paths considered in the analysis. The minimum fracture toughness margin is 3.88, compared to the required margins of */10 for normal/upset conditions and 4i2 for emergency/faulted conditions per IWB-3612.

Fatigue crack growth is minimal since the maximum final flaw size is [

] inch. The margin on limit load is 10.44 for normal/upset conditions and 7.38 for emergency/faulted conditions, compared to the required margins of 3.0 and 1.5, respectively, per IWB-3642.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this analysis is to perform a fracture mechanics evaluation of a postulated anomaly in the Davis-Besse Unit 1 (DB-1) Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) nozzle ID temper bead weld. This anomaly is assumed to be a 0.1 inch semi-circular flaw extending 360 degrees around the circumference at the "triple point" location where there is a confluence of three materials; the Alloy 600 nozzle, the Alloy 52M weld, and low alloy steel head. Two potential flaw propagation paths are considered in the flaw evaluations.

1.1 CRDM Nozzle IDTB Weld Repair The CRDM nozzle ID temper bead (IDTB) weld repair is described by the design drawing (Ref.1). This weld repair establishes a new pressure boundary above the original J-groove weld. The five steps involved in the repair design are listed below.

1)

Roll Expansion

2)

Nozzle Removal and Weld Prep Machining

3)

Welding

4)

Grinding/Machining and NDE

5)

Original Weld Grinding During the welding process (step 3), a maximum 0.1 inch weld anomaly may be formed due to lack of fusion at the "triple point", as shown in Figure 1-1. The anomaly is conservatively assumed to be a "crack-like" defect 360' around the circumference at the "triple point" location. The technical requirements document (Ref.2) provides additional details of the ID temper bead weld repair procedure. The purpose of the present fracture mechanics analysis is to provide justification, in accordance with Section Xl of the ASME Code (Ref.3), for operating with the postulated weld anomaly at the triple point. Predictions of fatigue crack growth are based on an evaluation life of 25 years.

1.2 Potential Weld Anomaly The anomaly could be located in the triple point region as shown in Figure 1-1. The region is called a "triple point" since three materials intersect at this location. The materials are:

a) the Alloy 600 CRDM nozzle material, b) the new ERNiCrFe-7A filler weld material,* and c) the low alloy steel RV head material.

  • Per Ref. 4, Specification 5.14, Par. A7.4.3, "Filler metal of this classification is used for welding nickel-chromium-iron alloy (ASTM B163, B166, B167, and B168 having UNS Number N06690)." This UNS number is associated with Alloy 690 material.

an AREVA and Siemens company DB-1 CRDM Nozzle Weld Anomaly Flaw Evaluation of IDTB Repair 1.3 Postulated Flaws The triple point weld anomaly is assumed to be semi-circular in shape with an initial radius of 0.10", as indicated in Figure 1-1. It is further assumed that the anomaly extends 3600 around the nozzle. Three flaws are postulated to simulate various orientations and propagation directions for the anomaly. A circumferential flaw and an axial flaw on the outside surface of the nozzle would both propagate in a horizontal direction toward the inside surface.

A cylindrically oriented flaw along the interface between the weld and head would propagate downward between the two components. The horizontal and vertical flaw propagation directions are represented in Figure 1-2 by separate paths for the downhill and uphill sides of the nozzle, as discussed below. For both these directions, fatigue crack growth will be calculated considering the most susceptible material for flaw propagation.

Horizontal Direction (Path 1):

Flaw propagation is across the CRDM tube wall thickness from the OD of the tube to the ID of the tube.

This is the shortest path through the component wall, passing through the new Alloy 690 weld material.

However, Alloy 600 tube material properties or equivalent are used for axial flaw evaluations to ensure that another potential path through the HAZ between the new repair weld and the Alloy 600 tube material is bounded.

For completeness, two types of flaws are postulated at the outside surface of the tube. A 3600 continuous circumferential flaw, lying in a horizontal plane, is considered to be a conservative representation of crack-like defects that may exist in the weld anomaly. This flaw would be subjected to axial stresses in the tube. An axially oriented semi-circular outside surface flaw is also considered since it would lie in a plane that is normal to the higher circumferential stresses. Both of these flaws would propagate toward the inside surface of the tube.

Vertical Direction (Path 2):

Flaw propagation is down the outside surface of the repair weld between the weld and RV head. A continuous surface flaw is postulated to lie along this cylindrical interface between the two materials. This flaw, driven by radial stresses, may propagate along either the new Alloy 690 weld material or the low alloy steel head material.

As discussed in Section 1.3, flaw evaluations are performed for flaw propagation Paths 1 and 2 in Figure 1-2.

2.1 SIF Solutions Path 1 represents a section across the new Alloy 52M weld metal which is equivalent to the thickness of the CRDM tube wall. Since the weld anomaly is located at the base of the OD of the CRDM tube and is assumed to be all the way around the circumference, a stress intensity factor (SIF) solution for a 3600 circumferential crack on the OD of a circular tube is deemed appropriate. Therefore, the SIF solution of Buchalet and Bamford (Ref.5) is used in the analysis. However, this solution is applicable to a 3600 part-through ID flaw. To develop an SIF solution for a 3600 part-through OD flaw, an F function is determined based on SIF solutions of Kumar (Ref.6 and Ref.7). Appropriate F functions for internal and external circumferential flaws are determined for a cylinder subjected to remote tension. The ratio of the F functions for the external and internal flaws is considered to be an appropriate multiplying factor for the Buchalet and Bamford SIF solution to extend its application to an external flaw. Similar ratios have been reported by Kumar (Ref.8). The materials to be considered for this path are the Alloy 600 tube material or the Alloy 52M weld metal. Fatigue crack growth is calculated using crack growth rates for austenitic stainless steels from Appendix C of Section XA (Ref.3). A limit load analysis for an external circumferential flaw in a cylinder subjected to remote tension (Ref.7) is also performed for applied loads on the CRDM tube.

]inch An axial flaw is considered since the stresses in the CRDM penetration region are primarily due to pressure and therefore the hoop stresses are more significant. The SIF solution by Raju & Newman (Ref.9) for an external surface crack in a cylindrical vessel is used in the evaluation, considering growth in both the radial and axial directions. The fatigue flaw growth analysis for the axial crack is also performed using the austenitic stainless steel crack growth rates.

The Irwin plasticity correction is also considered in the SIF solutions discussed above. This plastic zone correction is discussed in detail in Section 2.8.1 of (Ref.10). The effective crack length is defined as the sum of the actual crack size and the plastic zone correction:

ry =

6 K1 )2 Path 2 represents the interface between the new repair weld and the RV head material. The potential for flaw propagation along this interface is likely if radial stresses are significant between the weld and head. This assessment utilizes an SIF solution for a continuous surface crack in a flat plate from Appendix A of the 1995 Edition of Section XI (Ref.3). Flat plate solutions are routinely used to evaluate flaws in cylindrical components such as the repair weld since the added constraint provided by the cylindrical structure reduces the crack opening displacements. The solution is therefore inherently conservative for this application. Crack growth analysis is performed considering propagation through the Alloy 52M weld metal or the low alloy steel head material, whichever is limiting.

an AREVA and Siemens company DB-1 CRDM Nozzle Weld Anomaly Flaw Evaluation of IDTB Repair 2.2 Fatigue Crack Growth Flaw growth due to fatigue is characterized by dN C. (AKI )n da where C, and n are constants that depend on the material and environmental conditions, AKI is the range of applied stress intensity factor in terms of ksi'iin, and da/dN is the incremental flaw growth in terms of inches/cycle.

For the embedded weld anomaly considered in the present analysis, it is appropriate to use crack growth rates for an air environment. Fatigue crack growth is also dependent on the ratio of the minimum to the maximum stress intensity factor; i.e.,

R = (K1 )min I(K 1 )max SA-533 Grade B Class 1 Low Alloy Steel Plate Material (RV Head)

From Article A-4300 of the 1995 Edition with 1996 Addendum of Section Xl (Ref.3), the fatigue crack growth constants for subsurface flaws in an air environment are:

n = 3.07 C. = 1.99 x 101 ° S where S = 25.72 ( 2.88 - R )-3. 07 for 0*< R < 1 Alloy 600 and Alloy 690 Materials (used for Alloy 52M Weld Metal)

Fatigue crack growth rates for austenitic stainless steels are used to conservatively predict flaw growth in the new Alloy 52M repair weld. From Article C-3210 of the 1995 Edition with 1996 Addendum of Section XI (Ref.3), the fatigue crack growth constants for subsurface flaws in an air environment are:

n= 3.3 Co= C x S where C

1 0.0 0 9 + 8.12E-4xT - 1.13E-6xT2 + 1.02E-9xT3 S= 1.0 for R*_ 0

= 1.0 + 1.8R for 0 < R* 0.79

= -43.35 + 57.97R for 0.79 < R < 1.0 2.3 Acceptance Criteria The low alloy steel reactor vessel head material will be evaluated against the IWB-3612 acceptance criteria of Section X1 (Ref. 3). For the highly ductile materials Alloy 600 and Alloy 690 materials, the initial flaw depth to thickness ratio for the postulated weld anomaly is only about 20% and fatigue crack growth is minimal for these materials in an air environment. A convenient acceptance criterion on flaw size is the industry developed 75% through-wall limit on depth (Ref. 11):

an AREVA and Siemens company DB-1 CRDM Nozzle Weld Anomaly Flaw Evaluation of IDTB Repair a-*<0.75 t

For the shallow cracks considered in the present analysis, this criterion is easily met. In addition, stress intensity factors will be calculated and evaluated against conservative fracture toughness requirements using a factor of safety of*1l0 for normal and upset conditions.

Another acceptance criterion for ductile materials is demonstration of sufficient limit load margin. From IWB-3642 (Ref. 3), the required safety margin, based on load, is a factor of 3 for normal and upset conditions and a factor of 1.5 for emergency and faulted conditions.

Since stresses for emergency/faulted conditions are bounded by the controlling normal/upset condition stresses (see Section 4.2) and the required fracture toughness margins are less stringent for emergency/faulted conditions, satisfying normal/upset conditions requirements implicitly satisfies those for emergency/faulted conditions as well.

3.0 ASSUMPTIONS This analysis contains no major assumptions that must be verified prior to use on safety-related work. Listed below are minor assumptions that are pertinent to the present fracture mechanics evaluation.

1)

The anomaly is assumed to include a "crack-like" defect, located at the triple-point location and extending all the way around the circumference. For analytical purposes, a continuous circumferential flaw is located in the horizontal plane at the top of the weld. Another continuous flaw is located in the cylindrical plane between the weld and reactor vessel (RV) head.

2)

In the radial plane, the anomaly is assumed to include a quarter-circular "crack-like" defect (see Figure 1-1). For analytical purposes, a semi-circular flaw is used to represent the radial cross-section of the anomaly.

3)

An RTNDT value of 60°F is conservatively assumed for the SA-533 Grade B Class 1 low alloy reactor vessel head material. This is based on a highest measured value of 40'F for 13 heats of SA-533 Grade B plate material (Ref.12).

4.0 DESIGN INPUTS The region of interest for the present flaw evaluations is at the triple point, where three different materials intersect. These materials are the CRDM nozzle material, the new weld material and the reactor vessel head material.

The DB Unit 1 CRDM nozzles are made from Alloy 600 material to ASME specification. SB-167 for tubular products (Ref. 2). The new weld, as noted in Section 1.2, is made from Alloy 690 type material. The portion of the reactor vessel head that contains the CRDM nozzles is fabricated from SA-533 Grade B Class 1 (Ref. 2). The normal operating temperature as per the input information from FirstEnergy is [

O 0F (See Appendix B) (Ref.13).

4.1 Code Minimum Yield Strength The code minimum yield strength, Sy, values for SB-167 Material N06600 (Alloy 600 Material) as per the 1989 edition of the ASME Code (Ref.18) is 35.0 ksi at room temperature and 27.8 ksi at operating temperature of [

]

OF.

For the SA-533 Grade B Class 1 Low Alloy Steel Material (RV Head), the room temperature yield strength is 50.0 ksi and at operating temperature ([

] OF) the yield strength is 43.8 ksi (Ref.18).

Page 14

Controlled Document A

AR VA Document No. 32-9135800-000 AREVA NP Inc.,

an AREVA and Siemens company DB-1 CRDM Nozzle Weld Anomaly Flaw Evaluation of IDTB Repair For the Alloy 52M new weld material, the material properties are obtained from Code Case N-474-2 as per (Ref.2). The yield strength for Alloy 52M material at operating temperature of O

] °F is 27.6 ksi.

The code minimum yield strength is used for limit load analysis. The yield strength values used for plastic zone correction of the stress intensity factor as discussed in section 5.0 are the same as the ones used for residual stress calculation.

4.2 Applied Stresses The applied stresses are the cyclic stresses that contribute to fatigue crack growth. Incremental crack growth is based on six design heatup/cooldown cycles per year of operation. Residual stresses are also developed in the repair weld from the ID temper bead welding process that forms the new pressure boundary.

4.2.1 Fatigue Stresses Fatigue stresses are obtained from the generic stress analysis for the B&W 177 FA plants contained in Reference14. The maximum stresses, which occur during cooldown (at 10.004 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> into the composite heatup/cooldown transient), are combined with a zero stress at shutdown to produce a maximum cyclic load since stresses remain positive during this transient due to the dominating effect of pressure. The reactor coolant pressure at the 10.004 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> time point is [

] psig (Ref. 14). A slightly higher pressure ([

] psia) occurs during a rod withdrawal accident, which is classified as an upset condition in the reactor coolant system functional specification (Ref.15). Stresses for the rod withdrawal transient will be obtained by multiplying the stresses at 10.004 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> into the composite heatup/cooldown transient by the ratio of the pressures for the two transients.

Component stresses are obtained for the two crack propagation paths outlined on the finite element model in (Ref. 14). Stresses for Paths 1 and 2 are obtained from (Ref.14). Stresses are reported in a cylindrical coordinate system relative to the CRDM nozzle and include the three component stresses (axial, hoop and radial) needed to calculate mode I stress intensity factors for the various postulated flaws. These stresses, provided at four uniform increments along each path, were derived for ligament thicknesses of 0.488" for Path 1 and 1.143 inches for Path 2.

The stresses in Reference 14 apply directly to a weld thickness of 0.488". After grinding the inside surface of the weld, the thickness of the weld relative to the outside surface of the nozzle is [

I (Ref. 1). The length of the actual weld is 1.35 inches (Ref. 1). Since the actual weld thickness and length are greater than the analyzed thickness, no adjustment will be made to the Reference 14 stresses in the present flaw evaluations.

To ensure that the bounding stresses are captured for use in the present flaw evaluations, stresses are obtained at every 45 degrees from the downhill (00) to the uphill (1800) locations, as shown by the figure in Appendix D of Reference 14. It is concluded in that reference that the most limiting path is at the 1800 uphill location. The uphill stresses are presented in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 for Paths 1 and 2, respectively.

As noted in the conclusions of Appendix F of Reference 14, stresses due to emergency/faulted conditions are bounded by the controlling normal/upset condition stresses. Therefore, the emergency/faulted condition stresses are bounded by the normal/upset condition stresses, considered above, for the fatigue crack growth analysis.

an AREVA and Siemens company DB-1 CRDM Nozzle Weld Anomaly Flaw Evaluation of IDTB Repair 4.2.2 Residual Stresses A three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analysis (see (Ref. 16)) was performed to simulate the sequence of steps involved in arriving at the. configuration of the CRDM nozzle and reactor vessel head after completion of the ID temper bead repair. A comparison of the geometry and materials of reactor vessel closure heads of ANO-1 and DB-1 is presented in Appendix A of this document to justify the use of the weld residual stresses from the analysis of Reference 16. To simplify the analysis of the complete repair process, only the center nozzle was modeled (Figure 4-1). Although this axisymmetric analysis was based on the geometry of the center nozzle penetration, adjustments were made to represent significant aspects of the controlling nozzle at the outermost hillside location ([

]o from the top of the vessel). In particular, the repair weld was positioned at the minimum distance above the J-groove and the J-groove weld was chamfered to simulate the largest chamfer (7/8"). The model also used the highest yield strength of any nozzle in the head ([

]). The [ ]° nozzle location was limiting for all three of these conditions.

The FE analysis simulated the laying of the original weld butter and the subsequent post-weld stress relief, the heatup of the original J-groove weld and adjacent material during the welding process and the subsequent cooldown to ambient temperature, a pre-service hydro test, and operation at steady state conditions. After the steady state loads were removed and the structure was again at ambient conditions, the portion of the nozzle below the cut line (Ref. 1) was deleted. Deposition of the repair weld was simulated using four weld passes, and the J-groove weld was chamfered as shown in Figure 4-2. The analysis of this final configuration provided residual stresses in the repair weld for use in the present flaw evaluations. These stresses are listed in Table 4-3

& Table 4-4.

The repair weld analysis in Ref. 16 used a multi-linear isotropic hardening model to characterize the nozzle material and elastic-perfectly plastic material models for the welds, butter, cladding and head. The yield strengths for the non-strain hardening models were selected to represent the flow stress of the various materials. The following yield strength values were used in the repair weld FE analysis:

[

ksi J-groove weld Alloy 182

[

  • Note, the operating temperature of the plant is [

] OF, however the effect of this small difference~in the temperature should be minimal.

In this evaluation for Davis-Besse, chamfering is not applicable. However, the effect of chamfering of J-groove weld on IDTB weld will be minimal since J-Groove weld chamfering range is away from the triple point.

In addition, comparing with transient stresses that determine the AK,, the sustained residual stresses are usually not a major contributor to fatigue crack growth since they do not contribute to AK,, but only to the ratio of the minimum to the maximum stress intensity factor. Therefore, the residual stresses used in Reference (Ref. 16) are considered a reasonable approximation for this flaw evaluation.

However, it should be noted that the fracture toughness measures of these ductile materials is significantly greater than the fracture toughness measure of the low alloy RV head material reported in Section 4.3.1. The failure mechanism for the ductile Alloy 600 and 690 materials is limit load.

an AREVA and Siemens company DB-1 CRDM Nozzle Weld Anomaly Flaw Evaluation of IDTB Repair 5.0 CALCULATIONS The evaluation of the postulated external circumferential flaw for propagation along Path 1 is contained in Tables 5-1 and 5-2. The fatigue crack growth analysis is provided in Table 5-1 and a limit load analysis is presented in Table 5-2.

The evaluation of an external axial flaw for fatigue crack growth along Path 1 is contained in Table 5-3.

A continuous surface flaw along the cylindrical interface between the repair weld and the reactor vessel head is analyzed for fatigue crack growth along Path 2 in Table 5-4.

The flaw evaluations utilize the upset set condition stresses shown in Tables 4-1 and 4-2, which are obtained from heatup/co61down transient stresses by multiplying the stresses by 1.05 [(

psig /

psig)], the ratio of maximum upset condition stresses to heatup/cooldown transient stresses. The stresses used for fatigue crack growth are resulting from the sum of the residual stresses and the transient stresses. This is a conservative approximation of the actual state of stress since the elastic transient stresses are added directly to the elastic-plastic residual stresses, with no attenuation for additional plastic-strain. It is therefore appropriate to use the yield strengths from the repair weld residual stress analysis when applying the Irwin plastic zone correction for crack length.

As required by Article IWB-3612 of Reference 3, a safety factor of '110 is used to evaluate applied stress intensity factors for normal and upset conditions, considering the lower KIa fracture toughness for crack arrest. Article IWB-3612 also specifies that a safety factor of '12 must be used for emergency and faulted conditions, along with the higher Kjc fracture toughness for crack initiation. Since the required safety margin for the emergency condition rod withdrawal accident is less than that for normal and upset conditions by a factor of 1l0 / '12 = 2.24 and emergency condition stresses are less than the maximum normal and upset condition stresses (Appendix F, Reference 14),

the flaw evaluations performed for normal and upset conditions serve as a bounding analysis for the emergency condition rod withdrawal accident.

To estimate the stress intensity factor for an external circumferential crack from the solution for an internal circumferential crack under remote tension, the appropriate multiplying factor is:

However, note that the design life the RVCH as per the design specification (Ref. 2) is 4 years. Significant fracture toughness margins have been demonstrated for both the flaw propagation paths considered in the analysis. The minimum fracture toughness margins for flaw propagation Paths 1 and 2 have been shown to be 5.79 and 3.88, respectively, as compared to the required margins of '110 for normal/upset conditions and '12 for emergency/faulted conditions per Section Xl, IWB-3612 (Ref. 3). Fatigue, crack growth is minimal. The maximum final flaw size is [

] inch (considering both flaw propagation paths). A limit load analysis was also performed considering the ductile Alloy 600 and Alloy 690 materials along flaw propagation Path 1. The analysis showed limit load margins of 10.44 for normal/upset conditions and 7.38 for emergency/faulted conditions, as compared to the required margins of 3.0 and 1.5, respectively, per Section XI, IWB-3642 (Ref. 3).

As the tables above indicate, the DB1/Midland Head and ANO-1 are identical in geometry and material composition. It is therefore concluded that the Stress calculations for IDTB weld repair for ANO-1 performed in Doc. # 38-1290261-000 (Reference Al1) is applicable for the DB-1/Midland replacement RVCH and that resulting residual stresses for the ANO-1 ID temper bead welds are applicable to DB-1 as well.
