By letter dated December 27, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16362A273), Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted 11 Requests for Relief associated with the fourth 10-year Interval lnservice Inspection (lSI) Program for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed the information provided by SNC regarding relief requests RR-13, RR-14, RR-18, RR-19, RR-23, and RR-24 and requested additional information requested to complete its evaluation. The Enclosure provides the SNC response to the NRC requests.
This letter contains no NRC commitments. If you have any questions, please contact Ken McElroy at 205.992.7369.

Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 Response to Request for Information Fourth Interval Relief Requests RR-13, RR-14, RR-18, RR-19, RR-23, and RR-24 Enclosure SNC Response to NRC Requests
Enclosure to NL-17-1194 SNC Response to NRC Requests RR-13 NRC RAI #1:
Relief Request RR-13 states "Subsection IWB of ASME Section XI of the 2001 Edition through
- the 2003 Addenda does not address the examination of weld overlays nor is this detail in later editions of ASME Section XI." It is not clear to the staff which Code requirements are applicable for the subject weld. Please clarify the Code requirements for the subject weld for which you are requesting relief.
SNC Response to NRC RAI #1:
SNC is requesting relief from Table IWB-2500-1 for category B-J welds, the weld in question is categorized as a B-J weld. Specifically, footnote 4 which states "Includes essentially 100% of the weld length." This is interpreted to mean essentially 100% of examination volume of the weld. Based upon the configuration of the overlay, as described in ISI-RR-13, this is not achievable.
NRC RAI #2:
The weld overlay was constructed to the requirements of NUREG-0313, Revision 2 "Technical Report on Material Selection and Process Guidelines for BWR Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping." NUREG-0313, Revision 2 states that 308L weld metal and cast stainless steel with less than 0.035% carbon and a minimum of 7.5% ferrite are adequately resistant to sensitization by welding. Please confirm that the cast valve is in compliance with NUREG-0313, Revision 2 (i.e.
the cast austenitic steel is less than 0.035% carbon and has a minimum of 7.5% ferrite)
SNC Response to NRC RAI #2:
The material specification for the valve adjacent to Weld 1B31-F031 B is A351-CF8M cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS). The chemical composition is shown below:
c Mn p s Si Ni Cr Mo N 0.05 0.53 .032 .007 1.12 9.47 19.03 2.22 0.04*
- Consistent w1th NUREG 7185 (ML 1522A007), mtrogen percentage 1s assumed to be 0.04 as 1t was not spec1f1ed for the valve body.
The ferrite content is determined by using the Hall's equivalent method [1] as specified in the GALL Report [2] and the Grimes Letter [3]. The Hall equivalent method is presented in Equations 1 through 4 below.
Creq = Cr + 1.21Mo + 0.48Si- 4.99 (1)
Nieq = Ni + O.llMn- 0.0086Mn 2 + 18.4N + 24.SC + 2.77 (2)
X= Creq (3)
Nieq OFe = 100.3X 2 -170.72X + 74.22 (4)
E-1
Enclosure to NL-17-1194 SNC Response to NRC Requests From Equations 1 through 4, the ferrite content for the valve is calculated as 14.6%.
The carbon content of 0.05% exceeds the maximum value of 0.035% specified in NUREG-0313, Revision 2 while the ferrite content of 14.6% far exceeds the minimum of 7.5% specified in NUREG-0313, Revision 2. The limits on the carbon content and the ferrite content specified in NUREG-0313, Revision 2 ensure adequate resistance to intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) resulting from sensitization by welding. Although the carbon content of the valve does not meet the criterion in NUREG-0313, Revision 2, studies have shown that CASS material with a higher carbon content can have adequate IGSCC resistance if it is compensated by higher ferrite content. The most comprehensive study on IGSCC resistance in CASS piping was performed in Reference [4] by a group of researchers from General Electric Nuclear Energy (GENE). The study was performed on several CASS grades which are typically used for BWR piping. This study developed a relationship between the carbon content and the ferrite content to provide adequate IGSCC resistance as shown in Figure 1. Lower carbon contents require a relatively small amount of ferrite for IGSCC resistance while higher carbon contents require more ferrite to provide IGSCC resistance.

Figure 1: IGSCC Resistance of CASS Based on Carbon Content and Ferrite Content [4]
As can be seen from Figure 1, at a ferrite content of 14.6%, a maximum carbon content of 0.08% can provide adequate IGSCC resistance in a welded component (top line on graph). The lower line represents items that are stress relieved in furnace and is not applicable in SNC's application. As such, the valve adjacent to Weld 1B31-F031 Bat Hatch Unit 1 with a carbon content of 0.05% is considered resistant to IGSCC and meets the intent of NUREG-0313, Revision 2.

Enclosure to NL-17-1194 SNC Response to NRC Requests Note 2- Material was specified as ASTM A182 Gr. F316 with a maximum' carbon content on 0.02%.
Note 3-The GE type 316 NG is an austenitic stainless steel with a high resistance to IGSCC in the BWR environment due to its low carbon content and the addition of molybdenum. This material has a carbon content not exceeding .02 weight percent. In addition, the nitrogen content of this alloy is controlled to counterbalance the loss in strength due to the relatively low carbon content. Increased pitting and sensitization resistance is provided by the addition of molybdenum.
