It was difficult for the remote camera to focus on the area of interest, i.e., weld surface, HAZ and adjacent base material. We could not assure 100% coverage due to the camera's inability to maintain focus on these surfaces. The OD required multiple scans using an ROV to assure coverage and EVT-1 required scanning speed limits <1/2"/sec.
The "Core Barrel Assembly Upper and lower core barrel cylinder girth welds" and the "Core Barrel Assembly Lower core barrel flange weld" items were not inspected EVT-1 due to the MRP-227 Rev 0 requirements. VT-3s were performed per the ISI Program.

j Tables for Reporting MRP-227-A Inspection Results for Westinghouse Plants A Plant Name: Surrv Unit 1 Utility: Dominion Generation Date of Exams: May 13h - 18 ,2012 Plant Age: 40 (May 26, 1972) (years) / 29.6 EFPY Primary Components Comments: The following CRGTs were examined per the requirements of MRP - 227 - A: B8 (Bank D) Near 'B' Hot Leg Nozzle, B6 (Bank A), C7 (Shutdown Bank A), D6 (Bank B), Ell (Shutdown Bank B), G9 (Shutdown Bank B), H10 (Bank C), K14 (Bank A) Near 'A' Hot Leg Nozzle, K12 (Bank B), P8 (Bank B). Bank refers to control or shutdown bank group (typ). Of the CRGTs examined, four were common to H.B. Robinson: B8, B6, K14, and P8. No findings to report - all examinations were satisfactory, and ligament wear was < 5%.
Surry is 3 loop design with 15 x 15 fuel. It operates as a "low flow" plant. The inspected guide tubes were installed in 1984 (at 6.8 EFPY) as replacements for the original tubes. The accumulated EFPY on the guide tubes was 22.8 EFPY. The wear rate is therefore approximately 0.22 %/EFPY. Extrapolation of the recorded results to the current plant age of 29.6 EFPY would not change the conclusion that the long term expected guide card wear for Surry Unit I is very small.

/An accessiDie weias were examinea, and the MRP-227-A inspection requirement was satisfied. No relevant indications were noted.
L;omments:
Specific Guide Tubes inspected: B -6, B -8, B- 10, D-4, D-6, D- 10, D - 12, F-2, F-4, F - 12, F- 14, H -2, H - 14, K-2, K-4, K- 12, K-14, M-4, M-6, M-10, M-12, P-6, P-8, and P-10.
The continuous section of Surry's guide tubes is of the "open" design and is not enclosed by a shroud. Therefore, the welds of the continuous section "sheaths" were inspected.
Each guide tube sheath has a "U"shaped weldment, the three legs of which were considered to be three separate welds for inspection and coverage calculation purposes. The lower or end leg of each weldment was typically more accessible for an EVT-1 inspection than the two side legs. A greater number of welds could be inspected on the upper flange of the continuous section as compared to the lower. Some of the lower flanges were obstructed by core exit thermocouple mixer tubes.
An additional 42 welds were attempted but could not be inspected to the EVT-1 standard; these are recorded as "best effort" examinations. No relevant conditions were identified among these 42 best effort examinations.
The inspected guide tubes were installed in 1984 (at 6.8 EFPY) as replacements for the original tubes. The accumulated EFPY on the guide tubes was 22.8 EFPY. The degradation mechanisms of concern in this inspection are fatigue (high cycle) and SCC. For constant parameters conducive to degradation both these mechanisms would be expected to have observable effects at a relatively early stage in plant life. Since the replacement guide tubes have accumulated 22.8 EFPY (77%) of a total 29.6 EFPY plant operation, these examinations are considered valid for concluding that the linked Expansion components are also similarly free of significant degradation. This conclusion is also reinforced by the core barrel upper flange weld (original equipment) inspection, and is similarly free of SCC indications.

Surrv Unit 1 The EVT - 1 examination of the one upper core barrel weld was SAT; the weld was examined from the ID surface as required per the MRP guidance. There were no indications.
The exam fulfilled the requirements of MRP-227-A.
It is not feasible to inspect the OD of this weld when the core barrel is removed because it sits above the water and must be heavily shielded.

- 3 examinations. head to shank region of the bolt. This condition was found acceptable by a bolting pattern analysis. Also, some channels of the UT signals showed a significant "back wall" reflection from the end of the bolt, so the bolt is not completely severed. The lock bar for this bolt has no relevant conditions and is considered capable of Iperforming I its retention function.
Comments: Four other relevant conditions were found on other bolts. Two bolt heads were deformed at the points of its hex head to the extent that the UT probe was slightly displaced from full contact with the bolt head. Because of this, the back wall signal, although strong, was slightly outside its parameters, and the bolts were classified as "non-inspectable". Nevertheless, review of the UT signals showed the strong back wall signal with no intervening indications of flaws between it and the bolt head. It was thus concluded that these bolts were not flawed. The bolt deformation is attributed to original manufacturing, since the bolts are both located at an inner corner adjacent to plate number 1 and have limited accessibility. The other two relevant conditions were one missing lock bar weld out of two required. One baffle-former bolt and one edge bolt had this condition. This condition is also attributed to original fabrication error. The integrity of the lock bar with a single weld is considered adequate in view of the many years of service with this condition.
These exams were completed before EPRI had prepared a MRP - 227 reporting template. EPRI was notified of these data through a detailed narrative summary submitted to the MRP.

This result confirms areas as the as - built adequate hold down capability measurements. Unit l's through at least 60 total years of HDS is 304 - SS. reactor operation.
Comments: Because Unit 1 has an austenitic (304 - SS) stainless steel hold down spring, measurements of its relaxation was required per the MRP-227-A guidance. Per analysis, considering Surry Unit 1 as-built dimensions and the required hold down force for design conditions, the minimum acceptable height for assuring a minimum for 60 year service life was computed.
Spring height measurements were taken at eight locations (every 450) with three individual measurements taken at each location.
The estimated average spring height was 3.6312+/-0.0002 inches. This result is greater than the minimum requirement; therefore, the final result is acceptable. This result confirms adequate hold down capability through at least 60 total years of reactor operation, and no further measurements are required.

Bank refers to control or shutdown bank group (typ). Of the CRGTs examined, one was common to Surry Unit 1. No findings to report -
all examinations were satisfactory, and ligament wear was < 10% (<5% by volume). These CRGTs are different than the ones inspected for Surry Unit I in that they have 9 card levels instead of 8; the 20% sample included most CRGTs that were identified by Westinghouse as having high wear based on an FME inspection in 2005.
Surry is 3 loop design with 15 x 15 fuel. It operates as a "low flow" plant, and it has operated with a "very low leakage" core since 1984.
The inspected guide tubes are original except for the split pins with 9 guide cards per tube; the split pins were replaced in 2005. Since the replacement split pins were functionally equivalent to the original ones, the replacements should not affect guide card wear rates.
The accumulated EFPY on the guide tubes was 30.22 EFPY.
The guide card listed below had wear volume equal to approximately 5%: N 7 - Ligament C. The rest had wear < 5%; therefore, all guide cards examined fell into a wear level of GREEN described in WCAP - 17562 - P, Rev. 0.

It was difficult for the remote camera to focus on the area of interest, i.e., weld surface, HAZ and adjacent base material. We could not assure 100% coverage due to the camera's inability to maintain focus on these surfaces. The OD required multiple scans using an ROV to assure coverage and EVT-1 required scanning speed limits <1/2"/sec.
The "Core Barrel Assembly Upper and lower core barrel cylinder girth welds" and the "Core Barrel Assembly Lower core barrel flange weld" items were not inspected EVT-1 due to the MRP-227 Rev 0 requirements. VT-3s were performed per the ISI Program.

j Tables for Reporting MRP-227-A Inspection Results for Westinghouse Plants A Plant Name: Surrv Unit 1 Utility: Dominion Generation Date of Exams: May 13h - 18 ,2012 Plant Age: 40 (May 26, 1972) (years) / 29.6 EFPY Primary Components Comments: The following CRGTs were examined per the requirements of MRP - 227 - A: B8 (Bank D) Near 'B' Hot Leg Nozzle, B6 (Bank A), C7 (Shutdown Bank A), D6 (Bank B), Ell (Shutdown Bank B), G9 (Shutdown Bank B), H10 (Bank C), K14 (Bank A) Near 'A' Hot Leg Nozzle, K12 (Bank B), P8 (Bank B). Bank refers to control or shutdown bank group (typ). Of the CRGTs examined, four were common to H.B. Robinson: B8, B6, K14, and P8. No findings to report - all examinations were satisfactory, and ligament wear was < 5%.
Surry is 3 loop design with 15 x 15 fuel. It operates as a "low flow" plant. The inspected guide tubes were installed in 1984 (at 6.8 EFPY) as replacements for the original tubes. The accumulated EFPY on the guide tubes was 22.8 EFPY. The wear rate is therefore approximately 0.22 %/EFPY. Extrapolation of the recorded results to the current plant age of 29.6 EFPY would not change the conclusion that the long term expected guide card wear for Surry Unit I is very small.

/An accessiDie weias were examinea, and the MRP-227-A inspection requirement was satisfied. No relevant indications were noted.
L;omments:
Specific Guide Tubes inspected: B -6, B -8, B- 10, D-4, D-6, D- 10, D - 12, F-2, F-4, F - 12, F- 14, H -2, H - 14, K-2, K-4, K- 12, K-14, M-4, M-6, M-10, M-12, P-6, P-8, and P-10.
The continuous section of Surry's guide tubes is of the "open" design and is not enclosed by a shroud. Therefore, the welds of the continuous section "sheaths" were inspected.
Each guide tube sheath has a "U"shaped weldment, the three legs of which were considered to be three separate welds for inspection and coverage calculation purposes. The lower or end leg of each weldment was typically more accessible for an EVT-1 inspection than the two side legs. A greater number of welds could be inspected on the upper flange of the continuous section as compared to the lower. Some of the lower flanges were obstructed by core exit thermocouple mixer tubes.
An additional 42 welds were attempted but could not be inspected to the EVT-1 standard; these are recorded as "best effort" examinations. No relevant conditions were identified among these 42 best effort examinations.
The inspected guide tubes were installed in 1984 (at 6.8 EFPY) as replacements for the original tubes. The accumulated EFPY on the guide tubes was 22.8 EFPY. The degradation mechanisms of concern in this inspection are fatigue (high cycle) and SCC. For constant parameters conducive to degradation both these mechanisms would be expected to have observable effects at a relatively early stage in plant life. Since the replacement guide tubes have accumulated 22.8 EFPY (77%) of a total 29.6 EFPY plant operation, these examinations are considered valid for concluding that the linked Expansion components are also similarly free of significant degradation. This conclusion is also reinforced by the core barrel upper flange weld (original equipment) inspection, and is similarly free of SCC indications.

Surrv Unit 1 The EVT - 1 examination of the one upper core barrel weld was SAT; the weld was examined from the ID surface as required per the MRP guidance. There were no indications.
The exam fulfilled the requirements of MRP-227-A.
It is not feasible to inspect the OD of this weld when the core barrel is removed because it sits above the water and must be heavily shielded.

Also, some channels of the UT signals showed a significant "back wall" reflection from the end of the bolt, so the bolt is not completely severed. The lock bar for this bolt has no relevant conditions and is considered capable of Iperforming I its retention function.
Comments: Four other relevant conditions were found on other bolts. Two bolt heads were deformed at the points of its hex head to the extent that the UT probe was slightly displaced from full contact with the bolt head. Because of this, the back wall signal, although strong, was slightly outside its parameters, and the bolts were classified as "non-inspectable". Nevertheless, review of the UT signals showed the strong back wall signal with no intervening indications of flaws between it and the bolt head. It was thus concluded that these bolts were not flawed. The bolt deformation is attributed to original manufacturing, since the bolts are both located at an inner corner adjacent to plate number 1 and have limited accessibility. The other two relevant conditions were one missing lock bar weld out of two required. One baffle-former bolt and one edge bolt had this condition. This condition is also attributed to original fabrication error. The integrity of the lock bar with a single weld is considered adequate in view of the many years of service with this condition.
These exams were completed before EPRI had prepared a MRP - 227 reporting template. EPRI was notified of these data through a detailed narrative summary submitted to the MRP.

This result confirms areas as the as - built adequate hold down capability measurements. Unit l's through at least 60 total years of HDS is 304 - SS. reactor operation.
Comments: Because Unit 1 has an austenitic (304 - SS) stainless steel hold down spring, measurements of its relaxation was required per the MRP-227-A guidance. Per analysis, considering Surry Unit 1 as-built dimensions and the required hold down force for design conditions, the minimum acceptable height for assuring a minimum for 60 year service life was computed.
Spring height measurements were taken at eight locations (every 450) with three individual measurements taken at each location.
The estimated average spring height was 3.6312+/-0.0002 inches. This result is greater than the minimum requirement; therefore, the final result is acceptable. This result confirms adequate hold down capability through at least 60 total years of reactor operation, and no further measurements are required.

Bank refers to control or shutdown bank group (typ). Of the CRGTs examined, one was common to Surry Unit 1. No findings to report -
all examinations were satisfactory, and ligament wear was < 10% (<5% by volume). These CRGTs are different than the ones inspected for Surry Unit I in that they have 9 card levels instead of 8; the 20% sample included most CRGTs that were identified by Westinghouse as having high wear based on an FME inspection in 2005.
Surry is 3 loop design with 15 x 15 fuel. It operates as a "low flow" plant, and it has operated with a "very low leakage" core since 1984.
The inspected guide tubes are original except for the split pins with 9 guide cards per tube; the split pins were replaced in 2005. Since the replacement split pins were functionally equivalent to the original ones, the replacements should not affect guide card wear rates.
The accumulated EFPY on the guide tubes was 30.22 EFPY.
The guide card listed below had wear volume equal to approximately 5%: N 7 - Ligament C. The rest had wear < 5%; therefore, all guide cards examined fell into a wear level of GREEN described in WCAP - 17562 - P, Rev. 0.

Per analysis, considering Surry Unit 2 as-built dimensions and the required hold down force for design conditions, the minimum acceptable height for assuring a minimum for 60 year service life was computed.
Spring height measurements were taken at eight locations (every 450) with three individual measurements taken at each location.
The estimated average spring height was 3.6384+/-0.0001 inches. This result is greater than the minimum requirement; therefore, the final result is acceptable. This result confirms adequate hold down capability through at least 60 total years of reactor operation, and no further measurements are required.
