RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -
RELIEF REQUESTS ISI-24, 25, 26, AND 27 The numbers assigned for the request for additional information reflect the numbers used in Reference 1.
NRC RAI 2.1.1:
2.1 General - Additional Information Required on All Requests for Relief The licensee has provided only general, and somewhat vague, information regarding impracticality of obtaining ASME Code-required volumetric examinations. Statements such as "physical barriers and scanning surface," "component configurations, " or "curvature/taper, " are inadequate to describe the bases for not obtaining the ASME Code-required examination volumes. No sketches with dimensional' information showing the causes of limited accessibility have been included.
2.1.1 Please provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality.
(a) Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
(b) As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility, limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
(c) Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
(d) Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Calvert Cliffs Response RAI 2.1.1:
The requested, specific, information to support the bases for limited examination is provided for each of the individual relief requests in the following enclosures: - Relief Request ISI-24 for CCNPP Unit I Class 1 Components - Relief Request ISI-25 for CCNPP Unit I Class 2 Components - Relief Request IS1-26 for CCNPP Unit 2 Class I Components - Relief Request ISI-27 for CCNPP Unit 2 Class 2 Components Each of these enclosures provides responses to RAI 2.1.1(a-d) and provides detailed sketch(es) for each of the applicable welds that were listed in Table I of the original relief requests (Reference 2).
For some of the welds, the examination coverage percentage values calculated in the above enclosures are different than the coverage percentage values that were listed in Reference 2, Table 1. In those cases, the values in the above enclosures take precedence as they reflect additional reviews and revised calculations performed since the original submittal.
Over the 10 year ISI interval several different ultrasonic examination procedures and vendors were utilized. This created some differences in how volumetric coverage was calculated.
The revised volumetric coverages provided in this response reflect a standardized calculation approach applied to all welds and is aligned with current industry practice for performing these calculations.
NRC RAI 2.1.2:
It is unclear whether the licensee used the appropriate ASME Code requirements for the examinations.
In Section 4 under the individual component descriptions of Attachments 1 through 4, the licensee stated that for all examination categories contained in the requests for relief the NDE techniques and procedures incorporated (or were similar to) examination techniques qualified under Appendix VIII, In I
ATTACHMENT (1)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -
RELIEF REQUESTS ISI-24, 25,26, AND 27 Section 6, Paragraph 3 of Attachments 1 through 4, the licensee claimed that ultrasonic procedures complied with the requirements of ASME Section V, Article 4 and the personnel were qualified in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, Appendix VII. Please identify the ASME Code requirements for procedure, equipment, and personnel qualifications used for examination of the subject welds.
2.1.2 Please state the actual ASME Code section that was followed for each Examination Category. If Appendix VIII-qualified techniques were applied to Examination Categories B-D, C-A, and C-B, please discuss whether this alternative was approved by NRC.
Calvert Cliffs Response RAI 2.1.2:
Calvert Cliffs Inservice Inspection (ISI) inspections were performed in accordance with the 1998 ASME Section XI (no addenda) as amended by 10 CFR 50.55a and Regulatory Guide 1.147. In 2003, Calvert Cliffs implemented a risk informed inspection program for Class 1 and 2 piping welds (examination categories B-F, B-J, C-F-i, and C-F-2). These risk informed category designations were reassigned to reflect those established by Code Case N-578-1. Appendix VIII qualified techniques were not applied to Categories B-D, C-A, or C-B.
Per Calvert Cliffs procedures and the 1998 Edition of ASME Section XI (no addenda) Code, the following applies:
Ultrasonic Procedure and Code Description Equipment Requirements per Personnel Category IWA-2232 (ASME Section XI, Qualifications Appendix 1)
B-D Full Penetration Welded ASME V, Article 4, as ASME XI IWA-2300 Nozzles in Vessels > 2" supplemented by Table 1-2000-1 C-A Pressure Retaining Welds in ASME XI, Appendix III, as ASME XI IWA-2300 Pressure Vessels < or = 2" supplemented by Table 1-2000-1 C-B Pressure Retaining Nozzle ASME XI, Appendix III, as ASME XI IWA-2300 Welds in Vessels < or = 2" 1 supplemented by Table 1-2000-1 R-A Risk Informed Piping Welds ASME XI Appendix VIII ASME XI Appendix VII NRC RAI 2.2.1:

R1.16, and R1.20, Risk Informed Piping Examinations (Units 1 and 2) 2.2.1 In addition to the specific information requested in Item 2.1.1 above, discuss whether alternate welds could have been examined to address the reduced volumetric coverage resulting from the limited examinations of the subject welds.
Calvert Cliffs Response RAI 2.2.1:
The Third I 0-Year ISI Interval for which Calvert Cliffs is requesting relief is the first interval in which risk informed methodologies have been applied at Calvert Cliffs. The Calvert Cliffs risk-informed approach was developed in accordance with Reference 3. In the development of risk-informed selections done in accordance with the process outlined in Reference 3, it was foreseen that relief would be required for any risk informed ISI piping element selection for which greater than 90% examination coverage is not achieved (see Reference 3, Section 6.4). This is especially true in light of the fact that it was 2
ATTACHMENT (1)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -
RELIEF REQUESTS ISI-24, 25,26, AND 27 recognized that welds would be selected which had never previously been ultrasonically examined under our station's ISI program. For welds that are subject to a degradation mechanism (Items RI. 11 and R1.16) those welds were selected for examination on the basis of predicted degradation severity; often at locations inherently more difficult to obtain coverage on, e.g., a pipe-to-valve weld. The methodology used in Reference 3 states that less than 90 percent coverage at the location most susceptible to a potential degradation mechanism "will yield far more valuable information than 100 percent coverage of a less susceptible location". These insights were used by the "expert panel" convened by Calvert Cliffs to make the original element selections for the program, fully expecting that relief would be required for some welds, rather than picking less susceptible welds for which greater than 90 percent coverage could be obtained. It was also recognized, for Calvert Cliffs Units I and 2, that when alternative location welds for Items Ri. 11 and Ri. 16 were available with the same degradation mechanism they were typically of the identical configuration in a sister piping loop so no improvement in coverage would be achieved by selecting them.
For welds which are not subject to a degradation mechanism (Item Ri.20); Reference 3 recommends selection of welds for examination "be focused at terminal ends and structural discontinuity locations of high stress and/or high fatigue usage". These were the guiding principles used by the "expert panel" convened by Calvert Cliffs to make the original element selections for the program, again fully expecting that relief would be required for some welds, rather than picking less stressed weld locations for which greater than 90 percent coverage could be obtained. This follows the fundamental tenet of the risk-informed approach that less than 90 percent coverage at the location more highly stressed, and therefore more likely to undergo inservice degradation, will yield more valuable information than 100 percent coverage of a weld at a less stressed location. In cases where a known physical obstruction, like a pipe hanger, was identified which prevented examination of a selected weld a more suitable, preferably equivalent, location was chosen.
Conversely, geometrical configurations, (e.g., valve taper, angled penetration, tight radius elbow), and/or material type, (e.g., cast stainless steel safe ends), were not used as bases for selecting alternate locations even if limited coverage was expected. While the above types of weld configurations make-up the vast majority of welds for which relief is being requested, they represent only 13 percent of the total number of Item Ri.20 welds selected for examination (i.e., for the remaining 87 percent of Item Ri.20 welds the examination volume coverage exceeded 90 percent). For those welds with a cast stainless steel component; even though American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Code coverage was not credited for scanning performed from the cast stainless steel safe end side of the weld; if the geometry allowed it, volumetric coverage of that side was obtained using the ASME Appendix VIII procedure (PDI-UT-2) qualified for non-cast stainless steel product forms.
Even though it was impractical to meet the ASME Code-required 90 percent examination coverage for these welds, the nature of the limited coverage did not generally prevent the most critical area, the internal diameter surface at the weld root, from being insonified from at least one direction: Therefore, a service-induced defect, if present, would likely be detected even though the Code-required volumetric coverage was limited. In addition small gaps in the internal diameter coverage occurred at azimuthal locations where transducer access was restricted, e.g., at angled "stab-in" branch connections and at the intrados of tight radius elbows. As part of the defense in depth approach, all the welds in the risk informed program also received, under the System Pressure Testing Program (Category B-P), a VT-2 examination for evidence of leakage during each refueling outage. No leaking piping welds have been encountered under this testing program.

Code Item B3.1 10 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 004050 Comp ID: 4-404 Page 1 of 11 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
PZR Surge Nozzle to Lower Head / Due to nozzle configuration, coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The pressurizer nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
- Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item B3.1 10 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 004100 Comp ID: 4-405 Page 1 of 9 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
PZR Surge Nozzle to Upper Head / Due to nozzle configuration, coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The pressurizer nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
, This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item B3.110 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 004150 Comp ID: 16-405A Page 1 of 9 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Safety & Relief "A" Nozzle to PZR Upper Head / Due to nozzle configuration coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The nozzle enters the vessel at an angle thereby also limiting coverage attainable from the vessel side of the weld. The pressurizer nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculationsr Page 21 of 78

Code Item B3.110 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 004200 Comp ID: 16-405B Page 1 of 9 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Safety & Relief "B" Nozzle to PZR Upper Head / Due to nozzle configuration coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The nozzle enters the vessel at an angle thereby also limiting coverage attainable from the vessel side of the weld. The pressurizer nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component
.:thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item B3.130 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 100805 Comp ID: SG-11-W5 Page 1 of 8 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
SG Inlet Nozzle to Primary Head Nozzle / Machined transition on nozzle extension limited base metal coverage. The steam generator nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the designed nozzle configuration. The proximity of the nozzle radius prevented full examination coverage from the nozzle side. Scanning was performed from the nozzle; however, the ultrasonic waves did not cover the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws.
The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and Shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan.,
tables on the attached sketches.
2.1 1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item B3.130 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 100955 Comp ID: SG-11-W6 Page 1 of 7 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
SG Outlet Nozzle to Primary Head Nozzle / Machined transition on nozzle extension limited base metal coverage. The steam generator nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the designed nozzle configuration. The proximity of the nozzle radius prevented full examination coverage from the nozzle side. Scanning was performed from the nozzle; however, the ultrasonic waves did not cover the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws.
The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of
-Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item B3.130 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 103205 Comp ID: SG-11-W7 Page 1 of 7 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
- 2. 1. 1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
SG Outlet Nozzle to Primary Head Nozzle / Machined transition on nozzle extension limited base metal coverage. The steam generator nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the designed nozzle configuration. The proximity of the nozzle radius prevented full examination coverage from the nozzle side. Scanning was performed from the nozzle; however, the ultrasonic waves did not cover the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws.
The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

The questions for each relief request are as follows: 2.1.1 a) Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Pipe to Safe End / No Code coverage was credited for scanning performed from Cast Stainless Steel Safe End side of weld. The ultrasonic examination of the above pipe weld was limited in coverage due to component configuration (weld location relative to scanning surface, curvature/taper). For this weld obtaining full coverage from both sides of the weld was not attainable since one side of the weld was not optimally oriented for scanning of the weld and adjacent base metal based on the surface angle of the component; therefore, the weld received a single-sided examination or partial two-sided examination resulting in less than 90%
coverage of the required examination volume. The percentage of coverage reported represents the aggregate coverage from all examination angles and scans performed on the weld and adjacent base material. The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Appendix VIII of the ASME Section XI Code. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.

Inlet Nozzle to Shell / Due to nozzle configuration coverage of the nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The nozzle-to-shell weld is primarily accessible from the shell side based on the component configuration. The nozzle scanning surface is essentially perpendicular to the shell which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated similar examination techniques qualified under Appendix III of the ASME Section XI Code, as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1.
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.

The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Appendix VIII of the ASME Section XI Code. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical U
barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan 2
tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item B3.1 10 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 103080 Comp ID: 4-404 Page 1 of 8 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
PZR Surge Nozzle to Lower Head / Due to nozzle configuration coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The pressure nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used.
incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.

- Relief Request ISI-26 for CCNPP Unit 2 Class 1 Components Code Category B-D - Code Item B3.1 10 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 103090 Comp ID: 4-405 Page 1 of 8 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
PZR Spray Nozzle to Upper Head / Due to nozzle configuration coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The pressure nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

- Relief Request ISI-26 for CCNPP Unit 2 Class 1 Components Code Category B-D - Code Item B3.1 10 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 103100 Comp ID: 16-405A Page 1 of 9 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) toprovide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Safety & Relief "A" Nozzle to Upper Head / Due to nozzle configuration coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The nozzle enters the vessel at an angle thereby also limiting coverage attainable from the vessel side of the weld. The pressure nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component
.thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access Tor placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.,
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item B3.1 10 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 103110 Comp ED: 16-405B Page 1 of 9 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Safety & Relief "B" Nozzle to Upper Head / Due to nozzle configuration coverage of nozzle side base metal and weld was limited. The nozzle enters the vessel at an angle thereby also limiting coverage attainable from the vessel side of the weld. The pressure nozzle-to-vessel head welds are accessible only from the head side based on the nozzle curvature. The scanning surface of the nozzle is essentially perpendicular to the head surface which prohibits the ultrasonic wave entering the Code required examination volume at an angle that will interrogate the weld volume for in-service flaws. The nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Article 4 of Section V of the ASME Code as supplemented by Table 1-2000-1. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item RI. 11 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 109360 Comp ID: 30-RC-21A-10/2-CV-2005 Page I of 2 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Pipe to Branch Connection / Coverage of weld from Branch (nozzle) Penetration side of weld limited due to configuration. The ultrasonic examination of the above pipe welds was limited in coverage due to component configuration (weld location relative to scanning surface, curvature/taper) and/or immovable penetrations and/or attachments. For these welds obtaining full coverage from both sides of the weld was not attainable since one side of the weld was not optimally oriented for scanning of the weld and adjacent base metal based on the surface angle of the component; therefore, the welds received a single-sided examination or partial two-sided examination resulting in less than 90% coverage of the required examination volume. The percentage of coverage reported represents the aggregate coverage from all examination angles and scans performed on the weld and adjacent base material. The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Appendix VIII of the ASME Section XI Code. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1L 1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative
' examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical-::
barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
J
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response

The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1.1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Tee to Pipe / Adjacent weld in close proximity on pipe side limited coverage to Tee side which was also limited by obstruction by a penetration in close proximity to the weld. The ultrasonic examination of the above pipe welds was limited in coverage due to component configuration (weld location relative to scanning surface, curvature/taper) and/or immovable penetrations and/or attachments. For these welds obtaining full coverage from both sides of the weld was not attainable since one side of the weld was not optimally oriented for scanning of the weld and adjacent base metal based on the surface angle of the component; therefore, the welds received a single-sided examination or partial two-sided examination resulting in less than 90%
coverage of the required examination volume. The percentage of coverage reported represents the aggregate coverage from all examination angles and scans performed on the weld and adjacent base material. The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Appendix VIII of the ASME Section XI Code. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Safe-end to Elbow / Due to geometry no coverage was attainable on Safe End side of weld due to taper and lift-off at weld toe also limited coverage from elbow side of weld. The ultrasonic examination of the above pipe welds was limited in coverage due to component configuration (weld location relative to scanning surface, curvature/taper) and/or immovable penetrations and/or attachments. For these welds obtaining full coverage from both sides of the weld was not attainable since one side of the weld was not optimally oriented for scanning of the weld and adjacent base metal based on the surface angle of the component; therefore, the welds received a single-sided examination or partial two-sided examination resulting in less than 90%
coverage of the required examination volume. The percentage of coverage reported represents the aggregate coverage from all examination angles and scans performed on the weld and adjacent base material. The NDE techniques and procedures used incorporated examination techniques qualified under Appendix VIII of the ASME Section XI Code. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2.1.1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify, the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
2.1.1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.

Code Item R1.20 Responses to Request for Additional Information Summary No.: 230650 Comp ID: 6-SI-2017-11 Page 1 of 2 The NRC requested Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (CCNPP) to provide detailed and specific information to support the bases for limited examination in all requests for relief submitted on June 30, 2010, and therefore, demonstrate impracticality. The questions for each relief request are as follows:
2.1,1 a)
Include detailed descriptions (written and/or sketches, as necessary) of the interferences affecting NDE techniques.
Response
Elbow to Pipe / Integral welded attachment (saddle) adjacent to weld prevented access to the lower 180 degrees of weld on pipe side of weld. The ultrasonic examination of the above pipe welds was limited in coverage due to component configuration (weld location relative to scanning surface, curvature/taper) and/or immovable penetrations and/or attachments. For these welds obtaining full coverage from both sides of the weld was not attainable since one side of the weld was not optimally oriented for scanning of the weld and adjacent base metal based on the surface angle of the component; therefore, the welds received a single-sided examination or partial two-sided examination resulting in less than 90% coverage of the required examination volume. The percentage of coverage reported represents the aggregate coverage from all examination angles and scans performed on the weld and adjacent base material. The NDE techniques and procedures used 7
incorporated examination techniques qualified under Appendix VIII of the ASME Section XI Code. See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP.
2:1. 1 b)
As applicable, describe NDE equipment (ultrasonic scanning apparatus), details of the listed obstructions (size, shape, proximity to the weld, etc.) to demonstrate accessibility limitations, and discuss whether alternative methods or advanced technologies could be employed to maximize ASME Code coverage.
Response
This was a manual UT examination. Limitations are as detailed on the attached sketches. No alternative examinations are planned for the welds during the current inspection interval. The use of radiography as an alternate volumetric examination for all the above listed components is not practical due to component thickness and geometric configurations. Other restrictions making radiography impractical are the physical barriers prohibiting access for placement of source, film, image quality indicator, etc.
2.1.1 c)
Fully clarify the wave mode(s) and insonification angles used for all ultrasonic examinations.
Response
Wave modality used included longitudinal and shear. Insonification angles were as indicated on the scan tables on the attached sketches.
- 2. 1. 1 d)
Provide cross-sectional coverage plots to describe ASME Code volumes and transducer angles used during the examination.
Response
See attached sketches derived from examination data on file at CCNPP for cross sectional coverage plots and calculations.
