Draft Request for Additional Information Set 32 Aging Management Program RAI B2.1.9 (follow-up)
=
Background===
By letter dated August 26, 2010, the staff issued RAI B2.1.9, requesting that the applicant provide additional information on how cracking in titanium components will be managed by the Open-Cycle Cooling Water System Program and if visual inspection will be used. The staff also requested details on how the visual inspection will be implemented to take into consideration the tightness of cracks that can form in titanium. In its response dated September 22, 2010, the applicant stated that it would revise the External Surface Monitoring Program to include visual inspections to detect cracking and leakage of titanium tubing. The applicants response did not provide details, as requested in the RAI, on what visual inspection techniques would be implemented to identify the tight cracks (e.g., VT-1, VT-2, VT-3).
Issue Given that the applicant did not provide the requested detail in its response to RAI B2.1.9, the staff does not know what visual examination method will be used and therefore cannot evaluate the effectiveness of this method in detecting tight cracks that may form in titanium.
Request State what type of visual inspection technique will be used in the External Surface Monitoring Program to detect cracks in titanium prior to failure (i.e., leakage).
