REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BY THE REACTOR SYSTEMS BRANCH RELIEF REQUEST FOR EXAMINATION OF REACTOR VESSEL SHELL WELDS FOR BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DUKE ENERGY PROGRESS, LLC DOCKET NUMBERS 50-325 AND 50-324 (EPID L-2018-LLR-0001)
By letter dated January 23, 2018 (Reference 1), in accordance with the Title 10 of Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.55a(z)(1), Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy, or the licensee), submitted a Relief Request for the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) approval of an alternative to perform the In-Service Inspection (ISI) of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) circumferential shell welds for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Units 1 and 2. The current ISI program is required to comply with the applicable American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code,Section XI Edition and Addenda required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4)(ii), with applicable 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2) conditions. This ISI, which is based on the ASME Code 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda,Section XI, Subarticle IWB-2500, Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-A, Item B1.11, Circumferential Shell Welds, requires a volumetric examination of 100-percent of the weld. The proposed alternative, 10 CFR 50.55a request number ISI-09, would eliminate the examination of the fifth 10-year RPV circumferential shell weld, scheduled to start on May 11, 2018 and end on May 10, 2028.
The NRC Generic Letter (GL) 98-05, Boiling Water Reactor Licensees Use of the BWRVIP-05 Report to Request Relief from Augmented Examination Requirements on Reactor Pressure Vessel Circumferential Shell Welds, under the heading Permitted Action requires two conditions to be met for a permanent relief from the ISI requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g). To complete the evaluation of condition number (2), the Reactor Systems Branch (SRXB) staff requests the licensee to provide the following additional information:
SRXB-RAI 1 Regulatory Basis: 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, Fracture Toughness Requirements Insofar as it requires to meet the fracture toughness requirements for the ferritic materials of the RPV with adequate safety margins during normal operations and hydrostatic test with core not critical, the Pressure-Temperature (P-T) limits of the RCS as defined in this Appendix should be met.
RAI In the Enclosure to Reference 1, the second paragraph under the heading Review of Low Pressure Injection Sources states:
For the low pressure make-up systems, the Core Spray and Residual Heat Removal systems, these system's pumps have a shutoff head of approximately 313 psig and 250 psig, respectively. The BSEP pressure-temperature limit curves for hydrostatic testing allow pressures up to 313 psig at a temperature of 70 °F.
The above information is inconsistent with the BSEP Units 1 and 2 TS Section 3.4.9, Pressure-Temperature (P-T) limits, Figures 3.4.9-3, 3.4.9-4, and 3.4.9-5 for hydrostatic and leak tests.
The RPV beltline curves in these figures allows a maximum pressure of 283 psig in the RCS temperature range of 70°F to 110°F, In addition, the RPV beltline curve in TS Figure 3.4.9-1 for the RPV heatup/cooldown also requires to operate below 283 psig pressure in the RCS temperature range of 70°F to 110°F.
(a) Justify the inconsistency between the above Reference 1 statement, which states 313 psig as the allowed pressure limit, and the TS Figures 3.4.9-1, 3.4.9-3, 3.4.9-4, and 3.4.9-5 which shows the maximum pressure limit of 283 psig.
(b) Justify the inconsistency between the above Reference 1 statement, which states Core Spray (CS) pump shutoff head of 313 psig, and UFSAR Figure 6-49 which shows the CS pump shutoff head as approximately 790 ft (342 psig approximately based on water density of 62.4 lb/ft3)
(c) As per UFSAR Table 6-19, the pressure at which CS injection valve opens is 395 psig. On an inadvertent initiation of the CS system, with its pump shutoff head of approximately 342 psig (considering UFSAR Figure 6-49 is correct), the system would inject water into the RPV at a significantly high flow rate (2 pump minimum rated flow of approximately 8,200 gpm). In this situation, explain how a cold overpressure of the RCS will be prevented during RPV normal heatup/cooldown (TS Figure 3.4.9-1), and during RPV hydrostatic test (TS Figures 3.4.9-3, 3.4.9-4, and 3.4.9-5) so that the RCS pressure remains below the TS limiting pressure of 283 psig.
