SUMMARY
OF RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The analyses of the reactor vessel material surveillance program, capsules (coded "S") removed from the Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 nuclear reactor vessels during the 1977-1978 refuelling .outages led to the following conclusions:
K (1) The intermediate and low'er shell forging materials utilized in the reactor pressure vessels of Units 3 and 4 exhibited a low sensi-tivity to radiation embrittlement. The shelf energy reductions and the transition tempe'rature shifts were equal to or below those predicted by the minimum response curves given in Regulatory Guide 1.99.
(2), Based on the surveillance program results to date and trend curves for low-copper materials, the irradiated properties of the inter-mediate'nd lower shell forging materials utilized in the pressure vessels for Units 3 and '4,will be adequate to meet the. current requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix G, through the 40-year design lifetime.
(3) Capsule S from Unit No." 3 received a fast neutron fluence of 1.41 x 101 -
cm , E > 1 MeV. Bas'ed on a calculated lead factor of 1.76, the peak fast neutron exposure of the Unit No. 3 reactor vessel is pro-jected to 'be 2.3 x 10 cm after 10 Effective Full Power Years (EFPY) of operation. The peak end-of-life (32 EFPY) fast neutron fluence is predicted to be 7,.4 x 1019 cm ,, in good agreement with the value of
'6.65 x 10, cm projected earlier from the analysis of Capsule T.-
(4) Capsule S from Unit No. 4 received a fast neutron fluence of 1.25 x 10 cm , E > 1 MeV. Based on a calculated lead factor of 1.76, the'peak fast neutron exposure of the Unit No. 4 reactor vessel is,
projected to be 2.1 x 1019 cm 'after 10 EFPY of operation. The peak end-of-life fluence (32 EFPY) fast neutron gluence is predicted to be 6.7 x 10 cm , in excellent agreement with the value of 6.62 x 1019 cm pro-
)ected .earlier from the analysis of Capsule T.
(5) Capsule V from each reactor vessel should be removed and tested after approximately 10 calendar years (- 7 EFPY). of operation. The data ob-tained should provide the information needed to revise the heatup and cool-down limitations for operation beyond 10 EFPY.
II. BACKGROUND The allowable loadings on nuclear pressure vessels are determined by applying the rules in Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Requirements," of 10CFR50. ~ ~ In the case of pressure-retaining components. made of ferritic materials, the allowable loadings depend on the reference stress intensity factor (KIR) curve indexed to the reference nil ductility temperature (RTNDT) presented in Appendix G, "Protection Against Non-ductile Failure," of Section III of the ASME Code.< ) Further, the materials in the beltline region of the reactor vessel must be monitored for radiation-induced changes in"RTNDT per the requirements of Appendix H, "Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program Requirements," of 10CFR50.
The RTNDT is defined in paragraph NB-2331 of Section III of the ASME Code as the highest of the following temperatures:
Drop-weight Nil Ductility Temperature (DW-NDT) per ASTM E 208;(
~ 60 deg F below the 50 ft-lb Charpy V-notch (C ) temperature;'
60 deg F below the 35 mil Cv temperature.
The RTNDT must be established for all materials, including weld metal and heat affected zone (HAZ) material as well as base plates and forgings, which'omprise the reactor coolant pressure boundary.
It is well established that ferritic materials undergo an increase in strength and hardness and a decrease in ductility and toughness when exposed to neutron fluences in excess of 10 neutrons per cm (E > 1 MeV).( ) Also, it has been established that tramp elements, particularly copper and phospho-rous, affect the radiation embrittlement response of ferritic materials.(
- Superscript numbers refer to references at the end of the text.
There is some disagreement concerning the relationship between increase in RTNDT and copper content. For example, Regulatory Guide 1.99(7) proposes an adjustment to RTNDT proportional to the square root of the neutron fl'u-ence. Westinghouse Electric Corporation, in their comments on Regulatory Guide 1.99( ), feels that the proposed relationship overestimates the shift at high fluences (above 1019) and underestimates the shift at low fluences (below 10 ). On the other hand, Combustion Engineering, in their comments on Regulatory Guide 1.99( ), suggests that the proposed relationship is overly conservative at fluences below 1019 neutrons per cm (E > 1 HeV).
There is also disagreement concerning the prediction of Cv upper shelf response to exposure to neutron irradiation.(" ) It is important to re-solve these questions because the analysis of"reactor vessel material sur-veillance program data requires that estimations be made of shifts in RTNDT and Cv upper shelf energy at fluences other than that received by the sur-veillance capsule.
In general, the only ferritic pressure boundary materials in a nu-clear plant which are expected to receive a fluence sufficient to affect RTNDT are those materials which're located in the core beltline region of the reactor pressure vessel. Therefore, reactor vessel material surveil-lance programs include specimens machined from the plate or forging, weld metal, and heat affected zone (HAZ) materials which are located in such a region of high neutron flux density. ASTM E 185(10) describes the current recommended practice for monitoring and evaluating'the radiation-induced changes occurring in the mechanical properties of pressure vessel beltline materials.
Westinghouse has provided such a surveillance program for the two-unit Turkey Point nuclear power plant. The encapsulated Cv specimens are attached to the O.D. surface of each, thermal shield where, the fast neutron flux density is approximately twice that at the adjacent vessel wall surface. Therefore, the increases (shifts) in transition temperatures. of the materials in the pressure vessel are generally less than the corresponding shifts observed in the surveillance specimens. 'owever," because of.azimuthal variations in neutron flux density, some capsule fluences may be less than the maxi-mum vessel fluence in a corresponding exposure period. For example, the first capsules removed from Turkey Point Units 3 and. 4 were reported to lead the maximum exposure point on the vessel I.D. by a factor of 2.48 while other capsules scheduled 'to be removed later are .calculated to re-ceive less than half of the fluence accumulated at the point of maximum vessel exposure. The capsules also contain several, dosimeter materials for experimentally determining the average neutron flux density"at each capsule location during the. exposure period.
The Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4 material surveillance capsules also include tensile specimens as,,recommended by ASTM E 1'85..-,At the. present time, irradiated tensile properties are. used to indicate that the materi-als tested continue to meet the requirements of the appropriate material specification and to assist in judging the credibility of the C data.
In addition, the material surveillance capsules contain'edge opening loading (WOL) fracture mechanics specimens. Current technology limits the testing of these specimens at temperatures well below the- minimum service temperature to obtain, valid fracture mechanics data per ASTM E 399( ), "Standard Method of Test, for Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness of
I Metallic Materials." However, recent work reported by Mager and Mitt(>>)
and Loss~1 ~ may lead to methods for evaluating high toughness materials with small fracture mechanics specimens. Currently, the NRC suggests stor-ing these specimens until an acceptable testing'rocedure has been defined.
Capsule T was removed from Turkey Point Unit No. 3 during the 1974 refuelling outage, and the results have been reported; ~ "~ The weld metal was found to be more sensitive to neutron radiation embrittlement than the forging or HAZ material contained in, the capsule, and it was concluded that the weld metal is the most 1imiting beltline material'in 'the Unit No. 3 vessel. Capsule T was removed from Turkey ',Point Unit No. 4 during the 1975 refuelling outage, and those results have also been reported; ~15) The re-sults indicated that the vessel beltline weld metal was more sensitive to radiation embrittlement than the lower" shell forging and HAZ materials in-eluded in the capsule.
This report describes, the results'btained from testing the contents of Capsule S removed from Unit No. 3 and Capsule S removed from Unit No. 4.
These data are analyzed .to estimate the radiation-induced chang'es in the mechanical properties of the respective pressure vessel forging materials at the time of the 1977-78 refuelling outage as well as predicting the changes expected to occur at selected times in the future operation of the-Turkey Point nuclear power plant.
III. DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM A. Introduction The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 material surveillance programs are described in detail in WCAP 7656( ) and WCAP 7660(. '), respectively.
Eight materials surveillance capsules (five Type I and three Type II) were placed in each reactor vessel between the therma'1 'shield and the vessel wall prior to startup, see Figure 1. The vertical'center of each capsule is opposite the vertical center of the core. 'he reported ratios of neutron flux density at the capsule location, to,the'aximum flux den-sity on the vessel I.D. are given by the factors in parentheses follow-ing the capsule identification letter in Figure 1. The Type I capsules each contain Charpy V-notch, tensile, and WOL specimens 'machined from the two vessel forgings located at the core beltline plus Charpy V-notch spec-imens machined from one of two reference heats of ferritic steel utilized in the Westinghouse surveillance programs. The Type 'I'I capsules. include specimens machined from. weld metal and HAZ .material which were intended to be representative of those materials in .the core beltline region of each vessel as well as one heat of forging material, and the reference steels.
All test specimens were. machined from the materials at the quarter-thickness (1/4T) location.( > ) The base metal tensile and Cv specimens were oriented with their long axis parallel to the principal working di-rection; the Cv notches were perpendicular to the major forging surfaces.
The WOL specimens were machined with the simulated crack 'perpendicular to the principal working direction and to the forging surfaces. All mechanical

B. 0 enin of Surveillance S ecimen Ca sules and.Recover of S ecimens The capsule shell had been fabricated by making two long seam welds to goin two half-shells together. The capsule ends were sawed off, then the long seam welds were milled away using a vertical milling machine.
The top half of the capsule shell was removed, and the specimens and spacer blocks were carefully, retrieved and placed in an indexed recep-tacle so that capsule location was identifiable.,
After the disassembly had been completed, the specimens were care-fully checked for identification and location as listed in WCAP (16).
7656(1 and WCAP 7660.( ) No discrepancies were found. The thermal monitors and dosimeter wires were removed from holes in the spacer blocks and placed in indexed receptacles.
C. Neutron Dosimetr The specific activities of the dosimeters were determined, with an NDC 2200 multichannel analyzer and an NaI(Th) 3 in. x 3 in. scintillation crystal. The calibration of the equipment was accomplished'with appropri-ate standards and an interlaboratory. cross check with two independent count-ing laboratories on Co-, "Mn- and 5 Co-containing dosimeter wires. All activities were corrected to the time-of-removal (TOR)'at reactor shutdown.
Infinitely dilute saturated activities '(ASAT) were calculated for each of the dosimeters because ASAT is directly related to the integral of the energy-dependent microscopic activation cross section and'the neutron flux density. The relationship between ATOR and ASAT is given by:
ATOR ASAT m-n E
m=
(1- e'(e
-ATm Atm
)
where: decay constant for the activation product, day 1; Tm = equivalent operating days at 2200 HMt for operating period m; tm = decay time after operating period m, days.
The primary result desired from the dosimeter analysis is the total fast neutron fluence (> 1 NeV) which the surveillance specimens received.
The average flux density at full power is given by:
A>>
SAT (2)
Vi where: energy-dependent neutron flux density, cm 2 sec 1; A SAT saturated activity of the ith activation product at full power, dps/target nculeus; oi = spectrum-averaged'cross section for the it tar-get nucleus, cm 2 .
The neutron flux energy and spatial distribution were calculated for the Turkey Point pressure vessels with the DOT 3.5 two-dimensional discrete ordinates transport code, a 22-group neutron cross section library, a Pl expansion of the scattering matrix and an Sg order of angular quadrature.
Using a one-eighth segment as being representative'because of the symmetry involved, the core, core barrel, thermal shield, specimen capsules, and pressure vessel were described in R-8 coordinates for this computation, see Figure 4.
The calculations which produced the lead factors given in Figure 1
'ere based on the core power distribution given in the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 FSAR. The DOT 3.5 calculations'ade in support of the Capsule S analyses, utilizing core power distributions based on plant records sup-plied by FPL, indicated that the Capsule S lead factors were higher than

originally calculated. This is primarily caused by a reduction in the maxi-mum calculated flux incident on the reactor vessel, resulting from the al-I 1
tered core power'istribution, as shown below:
Source of Core Calculated Flux cm 'sec E > 1 Mev Lead Power Distribution Factor FSAR, Units 3 and 4 1.13 x 1011 7.13 x 1010 1.6 Plant Records, Unit 3 1.16 x 1011 5.45 x 1010 2.1 Plant Records, Unit 4 1.18 x 1011 5.58 'x 1010 2.1 An additional contribution to the difference in these lead factors is the flux perturbation caused by the presence of, a surveillance capsule. In the calculation based on the FSAR 'power distribution,"'he model did not in-elude iron in the capsule position. However,"'n the calculation based on the actual core power distribution, th'e model did include iron in the cap-sule position. An analysis of the latter results indicates that the Cap-sule S lead factor is increased by lOX when the model includes iron in the capsule position. Therefore, the lead factor based on the FSAR power dis-tribution should be 1.76 instead of 1.6. The extrapolation of capsule fluxes to the vessel wall described in Section VII of this report utilizes the perturbation-corrected lead factor'of 1.76 since it is more conserva-tive than the 2.1 factor. Also, the maximum vessel flux might be altered by future core loading schemes.
The spectrum-averaged cross sections needed for Equation (2) were cal-culated for the iron and copper reaction dosimeters as follows:
12.5 MeV Z cr (E) f (E) dE 0.11 a (> 1 MeV) 12.5 MeV (3)
Z $ (E) dE 1.00 21
D. Mechanical Pro ert Tests I
The irradiated Charpy V-notch 'specimens were tested on an instru-mented SATEC impact machine. The test temperatures were selected to de-velop the ductile-brittle transition and upper shelf regions for each material. Impact energy and lateral expansion transition curves were developed for each material using a tanh curve fitting program based on the following equation:
C parameter = A + B tanh [ T Tl ]
T2 where A, B, Tl, and T2 are adjustable constants defined by employing a nonlinear least squares fitting routine. In this relationship, the tanh function varies from -1 at the low temperature extreme to +1 at the upper f
temperature extreme. Therefore,' B is
'I equal to the lower shelf param-I eter and A + -B is equal to the upper shelf parameter.
I Tensile tests were carried out'n a Dillon 10,000-lb capacity tester l
equipped with 'a strain gage extensopeter, load cell, and autographic record-I ing equipment. The tensile specimens were tested at 250 F and 550 F.
Testing of the VOL specimens was deferred at the request of Florida
, Power 6 Light Company. The specimens ash in storage at the SwRI radiation laboratory.
E. Check Chemical Anal ses for 'Co er Three tested Charpy specime'ns, 'representing the two forging heats and the correlation monitor material,'ere analyze'd for copper content in accordance with ASTM Method E 322.
V. CAPSULE S TEST RESULTS TURKEY POINT UNIT NO. 3 A. Neutron Dosimetr Two discrepancies were noted when the gamma activities of the dosim-eter wires were measured. The Co activity of the cadmium-covered wire from the middle position was over four orders of magnitude below those of the top and bottom cadmium-covered dosimeters. Also, the nickel dosimeter did not exhibit a 5 Co peak. Using an energy dispersive x-ray diffraction "
technique, the middle nickel wire from the Unit No. 3 capsule was identi-fied as being a Co-Al material, and the middle cadmium-covered wire from the Unit No. 3 capsule was identified as being a copper-b'ase material.
The specific activities obtained from the remaining dosimeters in Capsule S are presented in Table IV. Two items are of interest: (1) the weights of the two dosimeters in question support the qualitative analyses described above; (2) the iron dosimetry results indicate a 20/ decrease in neutron flux across the capsule in the radial direction, and that the cap-sule had been inserted in the vessel 180'ut of phase. The saturated activities of the'osimeters, also given in Table IV, were based on the summary of plant operations given in Table V.
The neutron spectrum calculated for the Capsule S location is pre-sented in Table VI along with the spectrum-averaged, cross sections computed for the iron and copper dosimeters. The mean value of fast neutron flux density of the Capsule S location determined from the ten iron and two copper flux monitors was 1.29 x 1011 cm 'sec , E > 1 MeV. Since Unit No. 3 operated for an equivalent 1266.97 full power days up to the 1977-78 refuelling outage, the resulting value of neutron fluence for Capsule S is 1.41 x 1019 cm 2 E > 1 MeV.

Much of the early work published on the radiation-induced embrittle-ment of ferritic steels correlated shifts in ductile-brittle transition temperature with neutron fluence calculated on the assumption that the neutron energies were distributed according to a fission neutron spectrum.
To provide information for reference only, the 'Unit No. 3 Capsule S fast neutron flux density based on a fission-spectrum cross section of 98.26 mb (E > 1 MeV) for Fe( ) and 0.000606 mb (E > 1 MeV) for Cu , is calcu-lated to be 1.31 x 1011 cm 'sec , E > 1 'MeV. The Unit No. 3 Capsule S fast neutron flux (E > 1 MeV) computed with the DOT 3.5 code was 1.20 x 1011 cm sec E > 1 MeV.
B. Thermal Monitors The thrmal monitors were examined and had not melted. This indicates that the capsule did not reach 579 F during the exposure period.
C. Mechanical Pro ert Test Results The Charpy V-notch impact results obtained from specimens contained in Capsule S are given in Table A-1 in Appendix A. The transition curves developed for each material using a tanh curve-fitting technique 'are also presented in Appendix A. A summary of the notch toughness properties of the Turkey Point Unit No. 3 surveillance materials contained in Capsule S are listed in Table VII. These results indicate that the lower shell forging (123S266VA-1) is slightly more susceptible to radiation embrittle-ment than the intermediate shell forging (123P461VA-1) . This correlates with the reported copper contents of 0.079/ and 0.058X, respectively.
The results of tensile tests on specimens representing the lower and intermediate shell forging materials contained in Capsule S are listed in Table A-2 in Appendix A. The, stress-strain curves and tensile test data 27

Neutron Dosimetr The same anomalies concerning neutron dosimeter identification de-scribed for Unit No. 3 were noted for the Unit No. 4 Capsule S dosimeters, but these materials were not subjected to qualitative analysis identifica-tion check. The specific activities obtained from the remaining dosimeters in this capsule are given in Table VIII. 'he weights of the "middle cad-mium-covered" and the "nickel" wires support the supposit'ion that these dosimeters were made of a copper alloy and an aluminum-cobalt alloy, respectively. The iron results again show a 20X decrease in neutron flux across the capsule in the radial direction, and it appears that the capsule was placed in the vessel in the planned orientation. The saturated activi-ties of the dosimeters, also given in Table VIII, were based on the summary of plant operations given in Table IX.
The neutron spectrum calculated for the Capsule S location is given in Table X along with the 'spectrum-averaged cross sections computed for the iron and copper dosimeters. The resulting mean value of fast neutron flux density at the Unit No. 4 Capsule S location was 1.16 x 1011 cm"2 sec 1, E > 1 MeV. Since Unit No. 4 operated for an equivalent 1249.13 full power days of operation up to the 1978 refuelling outage, the calculated value of neutron fluence received by this capsule is 1.25 x 1019 cm , E > 1 HeV.
To provide information for reference only, the Unit No. 4 Capsule S fast neutron flux density based'n fission-spectrum cross sections~18~ is calculated to be 1.25 x 1011 cm sec , E > 1 MeV. The fast neutron flux density at the Capsule S location computed with the DOT 3.5 code was 1.18 x 1011 cm-2.sec-l E > 1 MeV.

Thermal Monitors I
The =thermal monitors were examined and had,not melted. .This indicates that the capsule did not reach 579 F during the exposure period.
C. Mechanical Pro ert Test Results The Charpy V-notch impact results'btained from specimens contained, in Capsule S are given in Table B-1 in Appendix B. The transition'curves de-veloped for each material using a tanh curve-fitting technique are also pre-sented in Appendix B. A summary of the notch toughness properties of the Turkey Point Unit No. 4 surveillance materials contained in Capsule S are listed in Table XI. These results indicate that forging heat 123P481VA-1 has more sensitivity to neutron radiation embrittlement than forging heat 122S180VA-1, even though their copper contents-are almost identical (see Table III).
The results of tensile .tests on specimens representing the lower and intermediate shell forging materials contained in Capsule S are listed in Table B-2 in Appendix B. Also included in this appendix are the stress-strain curves and tensile test data sheets. The tensile strength and duc-tility data obtained on these forging materials are compared to the unir-radiated properties~ ~ in Figures 7 and 8. These results indicate that both forging heats have about the same low 'irradiation sensitivity as would be expected from, the copper contents of these materials.

42 VII.. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS A. Introduction The analysis of data obtained from surveillance program specimens has the following goals:
(1) Estimate the period of time over which the properties of the vessel beltline materials will meet the fracture toughness requirements of Appendix G of 10CFR50.'his requires a projection of the measured reduction in C v upper shelf energy to the vessel wall using knowledge of the energy and spatial distribution of the neutron flux and the dependence of C upper shelf energy on the neutron fluence (trend 'curves) .
(2).- Develop heatup and cooldown curves to describe the oper-ational limitations for selected periods of time. This requires a projection of the measured .shift'n RTNDT to the vessel wall using knowledge of the dependence of the shift in RTNDT 'on the neutron fluence (trend curves) and the energy and spatial distribution of the neutron flux.
The capsules removed from the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant pressure vessels during the 1977-78 refuelling outages contained specimens represent-ing the intermediate and lower shell course beltline forging materials but did not contain any weld metal or HAZ specimens. Since the weld metal will'ontrol the RTNDT for both units(, ~ ), the results of this analysis may not affect the current heatup and cooldown lim'its.
It is anticipated that the, reliability of neutron embrittlement trend curves will be improved as more 'surveillance data become -available and a better understanding of the factors affecting radiation embrittlement t~
has been achieved. As an example of the latter, Mr. E. C. Biemiller of Combus-tion Engineering, in a paper(1 ) .given 'at the 8th ASTM International Sym-posium on Effects of Radiation on Structural Materials held in St. Louis
in May 1976, indicated that a parameter of (% Ni + % Si) :
(% Mo + % Cr +
% Mn) may explain the variation in radiation embrittlement observed in fer-ritic materials of nominally the same copper content. In addition, at the 9th ASTM International Symposium on Effects of Radiation o'n Structural Ma-terials held in Richland, Washington, in July 1978, Mr; J. D. Varsik of Combustion Engineering presented a related paper entitled "An Empirical Evaluation of the Irradiation Sensitivity of Reactor 'Vessel Materials."
At the s'arne conference, Westinghouse presented information which indicates 3
that neutron embrittl'ement may reach a limiting value when the irradiation is carried out for long times at approximately 550"F in lower -neutron flux environments.. Also, the Metal properties Council is developing new radia-tion damage curves that will be based on more data than those currently in use.
B. Pressure Vessel Fast Neutron Ex osure
- 1. Turke Point Unit No. 3 Based on the dosimetry results obtained from Capsule S, and using the conservative lead factor of 1.76 calculated for this capsule, the maximum fast flux incident on the Turkey Point Unit No. 3 pressure vessel is calculated to be 7.33 x 101 cm sec y E > 1 MeV. The fast neutron flux is attenuated as it penetrates the pressure vessel wall. Con-servative estimates of the ratio of fast flux at depths of 2'n. (1/4T) and 6 in. (3/4T) to that incident on the pressure vessel I.D. surface're 0.60 and 0.15, respectively.<
Utilizing these factors, the maximum fast flux at the 1/4T depth in .the Turkey Point Unit No. 3 pressure vessel wall is estimated to be 4.40 x
'4
10 0 cm 'sec 1, and that at the 3/4T depth is estimated to be 1.10 x 1010 cm sec 1, approximately 12% higher than determined from -the analysis of Capsule T.(14) The predicted neutron exposures for the Turkey Point Unit No. 3 pressure vessel at the I.D. surface, 1/4T and 3/4T positions after 5, 10, and 32 Effective Full Power Years (EFPY) of op'eration,are summarized in Table XII.
- 2. Turke Point Unit No. 4 Using the Capsule S dosimetry results, and the conservative lead factor of 1.76 calculated for this capsule, the maximum fast, flux incident on the Turkey Point Unit No. 4'ressure vessel, is calculated to be 6.59 x 1010 cm 'sec , E > 1 MeV. The maximum 'fast flux values calcu-lated for the 1/4T and 3/4T positions within the vessel wall are 3.95 x 1010 and 0.99 x 101 cm 'sec , respectively. These values aie within 1%
of those determined from the analysis of Capsule T.( ) The predicted neu-tron exposures for the Turkey Point Unit No. 4 pressure vessel at the I.D.

C. Vessel Material Notch Tou hness A method for estimating the reduction in C upper shelf energy as a function of neutron fluence is given in Regulatory Guide 1.99.(7) The results obtained to date on the vessel beltline forging materials and the reference steels contained in Capsules S and T are compared to a portion of Figure 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.99 in Figure 9. The shelf energy re-sponse of each vessel beltline forging material from Turkey'Point Unit Nos. 3 and 4 was equal to or less than the minimum'base metal response curve (0.10% Cu) given in Figure 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.99.

energy response of the 0.20% Cu A302B reference steel, (Unit 3) was also less than the appropriate (0.20% Cu) trend curve, but the shelf energy response of the 0.14% Cu A533 reference material (Unit 4) was above the applicable (0.15%
Cu) trend curve.
D. Ad usted, Reference Te erature A similar approach can be taken to estimate the increase in RTNDT as a function of fast neutron fluence. Figure 10, which compares the Turkey Point Unit Nos. 3 and 4 vessel forging material and reference steel results to the appropriate radiation damage trend curves developed by Westinghouse(15), in-dicates that the responses of the forging materials are well below the 0.10%
Cu trend curve and the responses of the reference steels are in good agree-ment with the appropriate trend curves.
The same data are compa'red to the trend curves of Regulatory Guide 1.99 (7)) in Figure 11. This shows that the responses of the vessel forging materials are below the 0.08% Cu trend curve, the response of the A533B reference steel is in good agreement with the 0.14% Cu trend curve, and the response of the A302B reference steel is below the 0.20% Cu trend curve.
Although there is considerable scatter in the data, the transition tem-perature shifts determined for the vessel surveillance materials are in rea-sonable agreement with both sets of trend curves. However, the vessel forg-ing material data appear to follow the slope of the Regulatory Guide 1.99 trend curves (Figure ll) and the correlation monitor material data appear to follow the slope of the Westinghouse trend'urves (Figure 10) .
E. Heatu and Cooldown Limits for Normal 0 eration Heatup and cooldown limit curves were developed for 0-5 and 5-10 EFPY of operation for the Turkey Point Unit Nos. 3 and 4 nuclear power plants after the removal of the first surveillance capsule (T) from each 49

reactor vessel. (21) The projected fast neutron exposures resulting from the analyses of the second surveillance capsule (S) from each unit are in good agreement wi.th those reported earlier.( ~ ) Also, since the S capsules did not contain specimens representing the controlling (weld metal) beltline material, there is no basis for revising the projected values of RTNDT used to develop the current set of heatup and cooldown limit curves.
F. Ca sule Removal Schedule A third capsule is scheduled for removal from each reactor vessel after 10 calendar years of operation. Based on the past operating histo-ries of 'the Turkey Point nuclear power plants, 10 calendar years of opera-
,tion should correspond to approximately 7 EFPY of operation. It is recom-mended that Capsule V, a Type II capsule containing weld metal specimens, be removed from each vessel at that'ime. The projected fast neutron flu-ence for the V capsules after 7 EFPY is 1.3 x 1019 cm (E > 1 MeV), ap-proximately twice the fluence received by the T capsules..(>4>>>>) The data obtained from the V capsules should provide the information necessary to revise the heatup and cooldown limitations for operation beyond 10 EFPY of operation.
