Tables for Reporting MRP-227-A Inspection Results for B&W Plants Plant Name: Oconee Unit 2 Utility: Duke Energy Date of Exams: 10/12/2013 to 12/5/2013 Plant Age: 40 (years) / 31.82 EFPY Primary Components Comments: The one-time physical measurement was performed in Fall 2008 with no evidence of wear occurring during service period 124

Oconee Unit 2 Comments:

100% No relevant Indications were There are 8 vent valves, noted on retaining rings.

See Comment Section for relevant indications noted on other CSS vent valve parts.

Comments: The jack screw locking devices are not currently in MRP-227 but were identified as needing to be screened in A/LAI #2. Additional parts of the Vent Valves, including the jack screw locking devices, receive a ASME Section Xl, Category B-N-3 VT-3 examination.

Vent Valve XY - The left lower barrel nut was raised out of the normal position, and moderate deformation was present on the left outside corner of the center jack screw guide block. Vent Valve XY was replaced during the outage.

Vent Valve XW - The left jack screw locking cup has a tear in the upper crimped section; however, the crimped locking device was in place with no evidence of movement. Additionally, deformation was present on the center guide block of the right jack screw. The indications on Vent Valve XW were evaluated and left in place.

Vent Valve ZW - The right jack screw locking cup has a tear in the upper crimped section; however, the crimped locking device was in place with no evidence of movement. The indication on Vent Valve ZW was evaluated and left in place.

125

Oconee Unit 2 Comments: Recordable UT indication was detected in LCB Bolt #90. The indication is located in the bolt head-to-shank region.

The VT-3 Examination coverage for LCB Bolts #1 and #19 and their locking devices is 75% due to the obstruction from the adjacent core support assembly (CSA) stand. The bolts and locking devices are in place with no evidence of movement. No Relevant Indications Noted.

126

Oconee Unit 2 Comments: Examination limitation was noted on Hex Head Baffle-to-Former Bolt (Quadrant - Plate - Column - Elevation) #3-3-2-3. Probe did not seat correctly. Due to the absence of UT information in two of four channels this bolt is classified as un-inspectable.

2 Oconee Unit 2 Notes to B&W Primary Component Table

1. A verification of the operation of each vent valve shall also be performed through manual actuation of the valve. Verify that the valves are not stuck in the open position and that no abnormal degradation has occurred. Examine the valves for evidence of scratches, pitting, embedded particles, leakage of the seating surfaces, cracking of lock welds and locking cups, jack screws for proper position, and wear. The frequency is defined in each unit's technical specifications or in their pump and valve inservice test programs (see BAW-2248A, page 4-3 and Table 4-1, reference 18 of MRP-227-A).
2. Examination acceptance criteria and expansion criteria for the B&W components are in Table 5-1 of MRP-227-A.
3. A minimum of 75% of the total population (examined + unexamined), including coverage consistent with the Expansion criteria in Table 5-1, must be examined for inspection credit.
