ELrnailing: 12-3_All questoins.pdf Attachments: 12-3_Al questoins.pdfl.-- - ,,,;t' Hello everyone; For your information, attached is the latest version of the CR list of questions and responses from the site's "L" drive. It is the version that I used during last week's team discussion and does not have the comments we made during the conference call.
Also, I remind everyone that since we are spending more time off site, it becomes harder to put the time in required to complete the review of these questions. We get caught up doing work on other assignments; (example - I spent 2 days working on a Dresden LR report). Let me know asap if this is a problem. I don't want us to all of a sudden find that the site is ready to start de-tensioning and we are not far enough in our reviews to support it.

Response
I was up on the dome earlier this evening to examine the entire dome structure since I also have a Pri 3
ýinvestigation upcoming regarding the condition of the concrete on the dome (reference AR 357670). Although it 1had been a number of years since my last visit up there, the overall condition of the dome is pretty much exactly
'the same as it has been in my past trips as part of tendon surveillance. I believe that when they made the re-
'pours of the dome due to the original delamination, the final surface did not end up being a smooth arcing curvature and had several localized uneven areas. The one in question is exactly that.
Furthermore, as part of our ongoing Condition Monitoring of Structures effort (EGR-NGGC-0351), I will be returning to the dome this evening (10/16/2009) with Dayna Mendez to obtain digital photographs of the area to i.nser*...t°into oUr .data. base on this .subject .so th*at w*e h~av~e a .reference p~oi.nt for future in~spections.......................................

References:
Response Assigned to: Paul Fagan Date Due to Inspector: 10/2 d6/20
Response
'in general, the Impulse Response (IR) test results is influenced by concrete quality and existence of defects at ithe test point. The aspects in concrete influencing IR results include presence of delamination, cracking, significant void or honeycomb and change in concrete properties. The most significant factor is the presence of idelamination which effectively reduces the thickness of wall or slab responding to the impact. Considerable difference in quality of concrete is typically reflected in the test results. For example, a core removed from panel IRBCN-0014-N (Core #13) where a higher mobility value was obtained by NDT, had less coarse aggregate in
'the concrete, which changed density and modulus in that localized area, no delamination was noted in these

Section 5.3.2 of the Dome Repair report included with Letter 3F1276-10 outlines where the strain gauges were attached.
iln addition to the final report, Attachment 1 to Supplement number 2 (transmitted via letter 3F1 076-05) contained a detailed listing of strain gages for the SIT. The construction opening is centered on azimuth 150o (between ibuttresses 3 and 4) from Elevations 180' to 210'. The listing in Attachment 1, does not show any gages in this larea. The closest would be at azimuths 90o and 2000 at Elevation 204' (gages 13, and 15).
The SIT report (GAI Report 1930, dated 12/7/76) contains radial displacements for these gages (See Appendix B, Page B-5 of the GAI report).

Response Assigned to: !Paul Fagan Date Due to Inspector: 10/620
Response
A) Impulse Response (IR) test was chosen as the prmary NDT technique to evaluate the extent of delamination.
IThe IR method uses a low strain impact from a hammer equipped with a load cell to send a stress wave through
.the element under test. The response to the input stress is measured using a velocity transducer (geophone).
'Both the hammer and the geophone are linked to a portable field computer for data acquisition and storage. Time records for both the hammer force and the geophone velocity response are transformed into the frequency domain using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm.
Average Mobility is the key parameter that the dynamic IR test produces. It is defined as the structural surface
- velocity responding to the impact divided by the force input [(m/s)/N]. The mean mobility value over the 0.1-1 kHz!
range is directly related to the modulus, density and the effective thickness of the element. In general, presence of significant voiding or an internally delaminated or un-bonded layer will result in an increased average mobility value. On the other hand, a sound concrete element without distress will produce a relatively low average mobilitý
- value. The test results can be analyzed and presented in the form of contour plots. The suspect areas can be identified through a scaled color scheme.
- Comparing to another well-known NDT method Impact-Echo (IE) test, the IR test uses a compressive stress iimpact approximately 100 times that of the IE test. This greater stress input means that the plate responds to the i
- IR hammer impact in a bending mode over a very much lower frequency range (0-1 kHz for plate structures), as I opposed to the reflective mode of the IE test which normally requires a frequency range of approximately 5 to 301
!kHz, The influence of reinforcement and tendons in the structure has generally less impact than it would for IE
- test, while delamination at relatively shallow depth, if any, will dominate the signal response in IR testing. It
- makes it ideal to evaluate the presence of delamination without having to layout locations of tendon and reinforcing bars prior to the testing in a time critical project. However, the IR test cannot detect with high certainty!
the absolute depth of delamination; rather it's on a comparative basis. The width or size of crack cannot be determined in the IR testing.
,The IR test method has been used to evaluate concrete structure condition in the past 20 years. The test method!
is in the process of being standardized by ASTM. CTLGroup has extensive experiences in utilizing this method to characterize defects in concrete. IR test has been used in evaluating concrete structures in both nuclear and fossil power plants. CTL Group experience for nuclear related structures has been compiled (see attached).
- B) According to the Progress Energy procedure PT-407T, Rev. 2, concrete core samples are removed in areas with high mobility values (greater than 1.0) to confirm the presence of delamination. Core samples are also
'removed in areas where mobility value is in the "Gray" (between 0.4 and 1.0) range to verify the condition, unlessý
- the slightly elevated values can be dispositioned through evaluation. Many cores have been removed based on
,the IR test results along the boundary of delamination in the section where steam generator opening is located.
!At this time, the approximate 20 cores so far removed indicated the IR results have been accurate in icharacterizing the extent of delamination in the steam generator opening area. Also according to the test procedure, a population of core samples is also removed from areas where low mobility values (less than 0.4)
- are obtained to confirm the sound concrete condition. Based on the core samples removed, the IR results have
- been accurate to detect a delamination in the concrete.

Response
.Two labs have performed petrographic analyses in accordance with ASTM C 856: MACTEC Engineering
& Consulting and CTL Group. MACTEC performed petrographic analysis under their Appendix B program, while CTL performed an informational "comparison" analysis as an additional, independent 1data point. The resume and qualification package of the Mactec individual who performed the analysis for CR3 is attached, as well as the CTL analyst's resume and petrography literature from the CTL website.
A third laboratory, PhotoMetrics, is also performing material analysis, although not per the ASTM
,standard. The material examinations being performed by Dr.Mostafa at the PhotoMetrics laboratory
.involve methods intended to examine similar conditions and attributes evaluated under petrographic
,examinations, but using tools and techniques more frequently used in material science, e.g., scanning electron microscope (SEM) and micro-hardness examinations that are more thorough. Information
- from the PhotoMetrics website is attached.

A) Email from Lese said it was same as previous inspections since 1976. Can this be confirmed from the final documentation and photographs in 1976?
References:
Response Assigned to: Don Dyksterhouse Date Due to Inspector: 10/26/2009.
Response
The construction microfiche database contains a listing of microfiche for the dome repair project. The cards
- range in number from 2C01024 to 2C02089. A search of the database titles showed several microfiche cards i(2C02064 and 2C02065) containing nonconformance's and corrective actions for the repair project. A review of
- these microfiche records did not reveal any information on a low spot. A check of the pour cards also did not
- mention a low spot or other problem.
,However, to help in answering this question a conversation was held with Mr. Earnest Gallion about this repair.
- Mr. Gallion was an employee at the time of the dome repair. He reported that the concrete finishers used at the
- time of the repair where not as experienced as could be. There were several low spots and other imperfections
- that existed from the initial concrete pours. These are not considered detrimental to the qualification of the dome. Would also consider that these existing since the repair project.
This confirms statements by Mr. Joe Lese.

Response
'Cannot readily determine from the old Gilbert Calculations what the direct answer is to the request. It appears that the tendon design is based on limiting the concrete tensile stress to 212 psi. This limit bounds the tensile Istresses in meridional, and hoop directions. See Book 2, Section 1.01.7, pages 1.01.7/6 and 1.01.7/7 for a brief memorandum outlining the critical loading of the cylindrical RB wall. The tendon pre-stress is designed to limit
,the tensile stresses in the concrete for the load combinations. However, it does not appear that the calculations considered the tensile stresses in the concrete outside the tendon's influence.

.During the random selection process if one of these exempt tendons (or in general a tendon that is inaccessible or due to interferences cannot be safely tested per the IWL code) happens to be selected for testing, then a substitute tendon located as close as possible to the exempt tendon gets selected for examination and testing.
Although still classified as exempt, the original exempt tendon is still subject to the examination tendon anchorage, free water and corrosion protection medium examination requirements if possible.

Response
,Direct Visual Examination was conducted on RBCN-001 5 during Ri 5 using the suspended work platform, a man
- lift (around the equipment hatch), and a step ladder (lower elevations not accessible by suspended work platforml
- or man lift).
ýUsing the procedure and criteria provided in the Engineering letter as threshold for recording, the VT-3C was performed and any areas of distress identified were further evaluated during a VT-iC. The VT-3C also considered areas of distress not previously identified, as well as changes to previously identified areas of distresl
- During the VT-i C, previously existing areas of distress were compared with previous data and further
- characterized to document changes to previous data recorded. Areas of distress not previously identified were
'characterized and recorded. In all cases, size and depth were dimensioned and recorded with a tape measure and 6" scale. A short length of 3/32" bare wire welding rod was used for tight spots where the 6" scale would not
- fit. Technique used with the bare wire was to insert into the opening, and measure maximum depth against the 6" scale.

Response Assigned to: Sammy Radford Date Due to Inspector: 1/6./200
Response
There were two options that had being considered.
- 1. Remove the delaminated concrete that is between is between Buttress #3 and Buttress #4 and install addition
- rebar ties. The wall will be reformed and replaced with new concrete. This was the method used to repair the
- delaminated dome section during construction and the method we will be using.
- 2. The next option we considered was to install anchors into the solid concrete portion of the wall on a spacing tU be determined and anchor the delaminated section and solid section together. Then we will be pressuring grouting the delamination using a cementitious grout and epoxy grout to bond the two layer.We will be using
ýsome NDT to ensure we have filled all the voids between the two layers. This option was eliminated due to problems identified with the use of the grout with the potential of the debris blocking flow paths of the grout and
- size of some of the crack areas.

Request: Refer to Slide #59 of the 11/20 public meeting presentation. This is with regard to how the liner is modeled for the Design Basis Analysis. Based on your current design basis in the FSAR and

Explain how you plan to evaluate your analysis results for design basis loads and load combinations against acceptance criteria in accordance with the code of record, i.e., ACI 318-63,_

The slide only inidicates evaluation for controlling factored load combinations. Are there not service or other load combinations in the design basis with a different set of acceptance criteria that needs to be documented? How would your calculation document the design basis of the
