Dear Mr. Miller:

Re: St. Lucie Unit No. 2 Docket No. 50-389 Turbine Disc tns ection During NRC review of Florida Power & Light Company letter L-84-97, dated April 9, l 984,- additional information was requested.

Attachment I provides the information requested concerning crack growth rates and reinspection intervals.

This information willbe included in the next update to the St. Lucie Unit 2 FSAR.

Attachment 2

provides the information requested concerning Westinghouse's methodology for determining temperatures for the purpose of calculating crack growth rate.

Should you require any further information, please call.

Very truly yours,

. WiIlia Jr.

Dear Mr. Shepherd:

This letter will document a Telecon in which S.

Shepherd (FP8L),

R. Stevens (FP8L),

W. Hazelton (NRC), R; Sells (NRC) and M. Schlatter (Westinghouse) participated.

The purpose of the call was to address concerns which were raised by J. Schiffens review of FP8L's recent FSAR which contained disc inspection interval calculations for the St. Lucie Unit b2.

At issue was the method for determing the appropriate temperatures at a shrunk on disc bore and keyway for the purpose of calculating crack growth rate.

Westinghouse confirmed that we use the disc metal temperature at a point two inches from the disc outlet face to calculate keyway crack growth rate.

Likewise, the temperature at a point two inches from the inlet face is used in the bore crack growth rate expression.

These temperatures are determined on an individual unit basis using the relationships between local steam temperature and disc metal temperature as determined by two dimensional steady state heat transfer analysis.

This procedure is consistant with the convention used to establish the growth rate expressions; i.e., all actual keyway data points used in the regression analysis were assigned

.temperatures corresponding to that two inches from the exit face.

The bore points were treated similarly.

'he significance of selecting the locations two inches from the'isc faces is that these represent the average temperatures of the local areas where cracking had been observed.

0 4

There has been no change in the method of establishing these temperatures since the acceptance of the methodology described in MSTG-1-P "Criteria for Low Pressure Nuclear Turbine Disc Inspection" by the NRC in 1981.
