REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY'S PRIMARY COOLANT PUMP FLYWHEEL INSPECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST This request for additional information refers to Consumers Energy Company's technical specification change request submittals dated January 18, 1996, and October 1, 1997.
The application of topical report SIR-94-080-A, "Relaxation of Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Requirements," to Palisades requires that the licensee (1) verify the reference temperature, RT NOT* for the flywheel material (ASTM A-108 (1017) low carbon steel), and (2) justify the use of the K,0 vs. (T-RTNoT) curve in Appendix A of Section XI of the ASME Code.
It does not appear as if these requirements have been adequately addressed in the licensee's submittals. Please provide:
(1)
Plant-specific test data or data from other sources to demonstrate that the NOT is 40 °F and the RTNoT is also 40 °F.
(2)
Plant-specific test data or data from other* sources to demonstrate that the K,0 vs.
(T-RTNoT) curve for ASTM A-108 (1017) low carbon steel is similar to the K,0 vs.
(T-RT NoT) curve in Appendix A of Section XI of the ASME Code derived from test data for SA 5338 and SA 508 materials. The cited 100 ksi-in1'2 was estimated from the ASME curve; however, the applicability of the ASME curve to the Palisades flywheel material has not been established.
