1.0 BACKGROUND

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses dry storage of spent nuclear fuel under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 72, Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste. According to 10 CFR 72.42, the initial licensing term may be up to 40 years, after which the license may be renewed for periods up to 40 years. The requirements for license renewal include time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs) to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety (ITS) will continue to perform their intended function during the period of extended operation and a description of aging management programs (AMPs) for issues that could affect the ITS SSCs.

The Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) staff is currently developing a report titled, Managing Aging Process in Storage (MAPS) to identify credible aging degradation 1

mechanisms and appropriate aging management activities for dry storage systems (DSS). One of the potential degradation mechanisms identified is chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) of austenitic stainless steel canisters. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) recently issued a technical report, Aging Management Guidance to Address Potential Chloride-Induced Stress Corrosion Cracking of Welded Stainless Steel Canisters (EPRI Report 3002008193, March 2017), that provides guidance and recommendations for development of an AMP to address the potential for CISCC in dry storage canisters.

The NRC has sponsored research at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) related to Nondestructive Examination (NDE) and In-service Inspection (ISI) of DSS since 2013. Under previous research efforts, PNNL has developed two technical reports related to NDE of DSS: (1)

PNNL-24412 Nondestructive Examination Guidance for Dry Storage Casks that provides an evaluation of NDE methods for in-service inspection of dry storage systems and (2) PNNL-22495 NDE to Manage Atmospheric SCC in Canister for Dry Storage of Spent Fuel: An Assessment that provides an assessment of potential NDE methods for detection of stress corrosion cracking in DSS canisters.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is currently developing a code case for the in-service inspection (ISI) of DSS canisters. The code case will establish requirements for examination and inspection, including applicable techniques, inspection frequency, qualification standards as well as acceptance standard. In addition, the nuclear industry and Department of Energy (DOE) partners are jointly developing inspection systems for conducting inspections of DSS canisters.

NRC staff currently needs support in developing the technical basis behind ISI requirements for dry storage canisters. Specifically, contractor support focused on the effectiveness of NDE inspection methods and flaw assessment are needed to support development of ASME code requirements and NRC regulatory positions.

2.0 OBJECTIVES The objectives of this project are: (1) assess the capability of the inspection systems to access the canister surface and detect flaws; (2) evaluate the detection and sizing capability of the proposed NDE methods; (3) provide recommendations to NRC with respect to in-service inspection requirements and flaw assessment for DSS canisters; (4) develop a testing plan to measure the CISCC crack growth rate (optional); and (5) develop CISCC flaws for NDE and crack growth assessment (optional).

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK PNNL shall provide all the personnel, equipment and facilities necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW). PNNL shall assist NRC in assessing the effectiveness of NDE methods for inspecting DSS canisters and developing technical basis to support ISI requirements for periodic inspection of DSS canisters. The specific tasks are described in the following section.

2

4.0 SPECIFIC TASKS Task 1 - Assess the Effectiveness of Inspection Systems to Access the Canister and Perform Inspection The objective of this task is to evaluate the effectiveness of industry developed NDE inspection systems to access the canister surface and perform inspection. Under a previous program, PNNL procured a mockup of a full diameter, partial length canister. PNNL is in the process of implanting flaws in the canister mockup. In this task, PNNL shall perform radiographic testing of the canister mockup to identify any fabrication related flaws in the welds. In addition, PNNL shall characterize the implanted flaws and introduce additional defects such as rust and pitting corrosion in the canister mockup to simulate in-service degradation. PNNL shall construct mockups of storage overpack with wood or other suitable materials to simulate access restrictions in both vertical systems and horizontal systems. PNNL shall construct one mockup to simulate access restrictions in vertical storage systems and up to two mockups to simulate access restrictions in horizontal systems due to significant design variations.

The canister mockup and simulated overpack will serve as a test system to assess the capability of the industry developed inspection systems to adequately access the canister surface and to perform in-service inspections. The assessment shall include the ability of the inspection systems to access the canister surfaces/welds through access openings and determine the feasibility of performing visual (VT3 or VT1) and/or volumetric inspections. The assessment shall also identify the percentage of the surface area that can be realistically inspected and whether the inspection systems can detect the implanted flaws and surface defects. PNNL shall coordinate this effort with EPRI and industry/DOE partners that are working on development of canister inspection systems.

Deliverable: A technical letter report (TLR) summarizing the results of the assessment.

Task 2 - Evaluate the Detection and Sizing Capability of the NDE Methods The objective of this task is to evaluate the capability of the proposed NDE methods (e.g. eddy current and ultrasonic) to adequately detect and characterize CISCC flaws in canisters. PNNL shall develop a test plan and work with industry partners such as EPRI and inspection vendors to assess the performance of the NDE methods to adequately detect and size flaws using mockups with simulated flaws. As part of the ongoing effort to develop NDE methods for inspecting the canisters, EPRI has procured test plates with simulated flaws for use to qualify inspection systems. Also, test plates that were used in prior NDE research programs or the full diameter mockup as described in Task 1 may be suitable for use in this assessment as well. If additional test plates are needed, PNNL shall procure the test plates with implanted flaws that are suitable for assessing industry proposed NDE methods. PNNL shall coordinate with EPRI and industry vendors to conduct testing to assess the capabilities and limitations of the proposed NDE methods to detect and characterize CISCC cracks. PNNL shall review the results to attempt to quantify the effectiveness of the proposed NDE methods.

3

In addition, PNNL shall evaluate the use of NDE methods for in-service monitoring of flaw growths. Surface and volumetric NDE methods may be used to characterize the flaw at different times to determine whether the flaw is growing and if so, the flaw growth rate. The evaluation should take into consideration limitations of potential techniques to size flaws accurately, and how this will be considered in the need for subsequent inspections, inspection frequencies and planning of mitigation actions.

Deliverable: A TLR summarizing the detection and sizing results and the assessment of using NDE methods for in-service monitoring of flaw propagation.

Task 3 - In-service Inspection Requirements for Stainless Steel Canisters The ASME is currently developing code requirements for the examination of DSS canisters and flaw acceptance criteria. The objective of this task is to assess the code requirements in the areas of inspection techniques, qualification standards, inspection frequencies, and acceptance criteria and provide recommendations to the NRC on the adequacy of the ASME code requirements. As part of this task, PNNL will use its expertise in NDE and ASME Code experience to contribute to the development of ASME code requirements for in-service inspection of canisters and to assess the adequacy of the technical basis behind ISI requirements. This task may also include reviews of industry developed technical reports related to inspection of dry storage canisters. PNNL shall consult with the NRC COR regarding expectations for the depth of review and need for confirmatory analyses.

Deliverable: Provide technical input/summary reports as requested by the NRC.

Task 4 - CISCC Crack Growth Test Plan Development The objective of this optional task is to develop a testing plan to measure the CISCC crack growth rate (CGR) for austenitic stainless steel in conditions representative of those experienced by DSS in operational service. The potential for CISCC initiation under canister surface conditions is known, but the magnitude of potential CISCC CGRs has significant uncertainty. An improved understanding of potential CISCC CGRs on canisters in service would help bolster the technical basis for canister inspection frequency and scope.

The intent of the testing plan is to identify issues that should be considered in the acquisition and interpretation of CGR data, particularly those which may affect the level of effort, cost, and time required for such tests. The testing plan shall address at least the following topics:

1. A review and assessment of prior work reported in the technical literature concerning CISCC CGR testing, including any perceived limitations or uncertainties associated with those tests. A key challenge in CISCC CGR testing is the uncertainty of the actual canister conditions, including environment, stress, and temperature. Environmental conditions such as humidity and the presence and concentration of chemical species are especially uncertain. Given this uncertainty, the plan should address how to effectively represent or bound the likely in-service conditions.

4

2. A discussion of testing methodologies potentially suitable for measuring the CISCC CGR, including physical descriptions of test specimens and testing machines (e.g., load trains, environmental chambers, data acquisition units, etc.). The testing methodologies to be addressed shall include, at minimum, that used for primary water stress corrosion crack growth rate testing at PNNL, bending tests, and spring and/or bolt loaded tests.
3. A discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the methodologies identified in (2),

with respect to factors including test duration, cost, complexity, and data quality. Given the uncertainty of in-service canister conditions mentioned in (1) above, the plan should address how to effectively represent or bound the likely in-service conditions including, environment, stress, and temperature.

4. A discussion of potential approaches to measure and control the exposure of specimens to chlorides during the course of testing, and the compatibility of these approaches with the testing methodologies identified in (2).

Deliverable: A TLR documenting the CISCC CGR testing plan.

Task 5 - Development of CISCC Flaws for NDE and Crack Growth Evaluation The objective of this task is to attempt to produce realistic CISCC flaws on welded stainless steel plates. The CISCC flaws can then be used to compare the NDE responses to simulated flaws to assess the performance of the NDE methods. In addition, the CISCC flaws could be used in testing systems with active crack monitoring to assess crack propagation rates.

PNNL shall produce stainless steel mockups to include a weld typical of that used for fabrication of dry storage canisters. PNNL shall attempt to initiate and grow CISCC cracks on the mockups using suitable laboratory methods. PNNL shall keep the NRC COR engaged on the proposed methods for initiating CISCC flaws and monitoring crack growth for timely decisions of testing sequences.

As part of this task, PNNL will compare the NDE responses of CISCC flaws with simulated flaws using standardized methods (e.g. thermal fatigue or mechanical methods) to assess the impact of flaw characteristics on the NDE performance. The results of these activities should be incorporated into Task 2 assessment of NDE detection and sizing capability.

Deliverable: A summary report documenting the methods used to produce CISCC flaws and the crack propagation rates. The results of the NDE assessment shall be incorporated into Task 2.

Task 6 - Project Management A project management task is needed to coordinate all other activities related to this project.

The project manager will be responsible for overseeing the work being performed, including developing detailed program plans, tracking all program deliverables, ensuring they are delivered on time and within planned budgets, coordinating communications with the NRC, preparing monthly letter status reports, organizing and conducting program reviews as directed 5

by NRC, coordinating and supporting program modifications and re-direction based on emergent issues, and supporting other NRC requests.
