{V 1.1 General This document describes the revised Inservice Inspection Program for the first ten year interval of commercial operation of Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 2.

The original ISI program for Farley-2 was prepared in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1971 Edition through Winter 1971 Addenda for Class 1 components. The Class 2 components were scheduled

~ for examinationLin accordance with the 1971 Edition through Winter 1972 Addenda of Section XI.

This revised ISI program has been upgraded with the intent to meet, as much as practical, the requirements of the 1974 Edition through Summer 1975 Ad-denda of Section XI for Class 1, 2, and 3 components.

1.2 Effective Date This revised ISI plan shall go into effect at the start of the first 120-month interval of plant commercial operation.

1.3 Scope .

Ihis document is a description of the ISI program for Unit 2 of Plant Farley.

p The programs for Class 1, 2, and 3 component examinations are included.

U 1.4 Component Upgrading All plant components have been reviewed to determine the appropriate classifi-cation for inservice inspection. Regulatory Guide 1.26 was used for guidance in determining component classificatior.s.

It must be noted that the classification of components as ASME Class 1, 2, or 3 equivalent for inservice inspection does not imply that the components were designed in accordance with ASME requirements. The component design codes remain as stated in the FSAR.

1.5- Subsequent ISI Plan Revisions

< In accordance with the existing regulations of 10CFR50.55a, the inservice examination program for Class 1, 2, and 3 components will be reviwed near the end of each 120-month ir.terval. At this t W the plan will be modified as required to bring it into compliance with the lastest NRC-approved version y

of Section XI.

1.6 Responsibility Alabama Power Company bears the overall responsibility for the performance of r"[-

(~/ ~ the inservice examinations. Certain nondestructive examinations will be per- l formed by a qualified examination agency. The results of such examinations i will be reported to Alabama Power Company for final evaluation and disposition. l 1.7 Records Records and documentation of all information and inspection results, which provide the basis for evaluation and which facilitate comparison with results from previous and subsequent inspections, will be maintained and will be avail-able for the active life of the plant in accordance with Section XI, IWA-6000.

1.8 Methods of Examination The method of examination planned for each area is delineated in subsequent sections. Personnel performing NDT examinations will be trained in accordance with the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT),1975 Edition of

" Recommended Practice SNT-TC-1A, Supplements and Appendices", as applicable for l technique and method used. 1 1.8.1 Ultrasonic Ultrasonic examinations will be conducted in accordance with the provisions 0

()) of Appendix I and Article 5 of Section V as required by Paragraph IWA-2232.

As an alternative to using Article 5 of Section V, Appendix III of Section XI of the 1974 Edition, Winter 1975 Addenda of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code will be used as a guide for ultrasonic examination of piping systems.

It is recognized that Appendix III of Section XI was issued in the Winter 1975 Adaenda and, as such, has not been officially recognized by the NRC by refer-ence in 10CFR50. However, Appendix III is the first guideline that has been published in the ASME Codes for the ultrasonic examination of pipe welds and, as such, its use is essential.

1.8.2 Radiographic Radiographic techniques will be used to supplement UT as required.

.. 1.8.3 Liquid Penetrant Dye penetrant examinations will be performed whenever a surface examination is required on non-magnetic piping.

(v"s .

1-2 e

1.8.4 Magnetic Particle Magnetic particle tests will usually be used when surface examination of car-bon steel components is required.

1.8.5 Visual A visual (VT) examination will be employed to provide evidence of leakage or to provide a report of the general condition of the component.

1.9 Evaluation of Examination Results Articles IWC-3000 and IWD-3000 entitled, " Evaluation of Examination Results" are in the course of preparation by the Code Committee and, as yet, are not available for use. Therefore, the rules of IWA-3000 will be utilized with the exception that the evaluation of any indications detected during any in-service examinations will be made using the acceptance standards for materials

-and welds specified in the code under which the specific component was constructed.

1.10 Repair Procedures Articles IWC-4000 and IWD-4000 entitled, " Repair Procedures" state that the o rules of IWB-4000 shall apply. Where it is considered that the repair pro-Q cedures outlined in IWB-4000 are inappropriate for the Class 2 and 3 compon-ents in this program, the rules of IWA-4000 will be applied.

Modifications, additions, and alterations to systems shall be made in accor-dance with the 1974 Edition of Section XI with Addenda through Summer 1975.

1.11 Limitations of Examinations Limitations may occur for the examination of piping system circumferential butt welds (Categories B-J, C-F, and C-G) when the welds occur at geometric dis-continuities such as pipe-to-vessel welds, pipe-to-fitting welds, or fitting-to-fitting welds. For pipe-to-fitting or pipe-to-vessel nozzle welds, examinations can be performed to the extent required by T-532 of Section V from the weld and pipe surfaces. Examination from the fitting side would be dependent upon the geometric configuration. Where elbows or tees are concerned, examinations can be performed from the. fitting side except where the intrados of the fitting prevents adequate ultrasonic coupling. No examinations can be performed from the fitting side when it is a valve or a flange. In all cases 100 percent of the weld material will be examined. In instances where ultrasonic examinations cannot be performed on 100 percent of the volume of the weld and heat affect-ed zone, surface examinations will be performed to supplement the limited volumetric axamination.

In ir.,tances where the locations of pipe supports or hangers restrict the ac-ce

EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT,1 Tables IWB-2500 Category B-D and IWB-2600 Item B2.2 require volumetric examina-tion of the nozzle-to-vessel welds and adjacent base metal for one wall thick-ness on either side of the weld.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

The geometric configuration of the nozzle prevents ultrasonic examinations from being performed from the nozzle side of the weld to the extent required i by IWB-2600. Examination will be performed from both the weld and shell sur-faces. The nozzle configuration is shown in Figure 82.2.

J ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

One bundred percent of the weld, the heat affected zone, and the required amount t

of base metal on the shell side of the weld will be examined. Base metal on the' nozzle side of the weld will be examined to the extent practical, which is approximately-25 percent.

In addition,-the welds will receive surface examination on those areas not scanned by UT.

2.3.5 RELIEF REQUEST COMPONENT: Steam Generators (3) CODE CLASS: 1 EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT:

Tables IWB-2500 Category B-F and IWB-2600 Item B3.3 require surface and volu-metric examinations of the nozzle-to-safe-end welds and the adjacent base metal for one wall thickness on either side of the welds.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

Examination of the steam generator primary nozzle safe-end-to pipe welds is limited by the nozzle geometry and surface condition, and by the limited sur-face preparation on the pipe side of the weld. The surface on the pipe side of the weld, which is a cast elbow, is machined for a distance of apprcximately 5 1/4 inches from the edge of the weld. Ultrasonic examination is limited to this distance from the edge of the weld. Examinations can be performed on the surf ace of the weld but are severly limited from the nozzle side by the con-figuration of weld build up and weld overlay. Weld configuration is shown in

-~

s Figure B3.3.

fL.)x ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Ultrasonic examinations will be performed from both the pipe and weld surfaces as allowed by T-532 of Section V. All of the weld metal, including the weld root, will be inspected. Since no UT can be performed on the nozzle side of the weld, the extent of examination is limited to approximately 90 percent of the code-required area. Surface examinations will be performed on essentially 100 percent of the required area.

tance of one wall-thickness on either side of the weld.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

l; Instan:es occur where pipe welds are between fittings, such as elbow-to-valve or flange-to-elbow welds. In such instances access may be severely limited and ultrasonic- examination cannot be performed on 100 percent of the volume of the weld and the heat affected zone.

ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Ultrasonic examinations will be performed to the extent practical and will f"*g be supplemented by surface examination.

C Welds which'will require supplemental surface examination, along with the esti-mated extent of volumetric examination, are as follows:

2.3.11 RELIEF REQUEST COMPONENT: Pressurizer and Primary Portions of the CODE CLASS: 1 Steam Generators.

EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT:

Requirement #1: The 1974 Edition of Section XI, I-3121 states, " Material from which the block is fabricated shall be from the component, from either a noz-zle dropout or a prolongation."

Requirement #2: The Summer 1975 Addenda of Section XI, I-3121 states,

" Material from which the block is fabricated shall be from one of the following:

(1) the component nozzle dropout; (2) the component prolongation; or (3) when it is not possible to fabricate the block from material taken from the compon-ent, it may be fabricated from a material of a specification included in the applicable examination volumes of the component. The acoustic velocity and attenuation of such a block shall be demonstrated to fall within the range of straight beam longitudinal wave velocity and attenuation found in the unclad component."

/~'N i

(nj  ! BASIS FOR RELIEF:

Requirement #1 cannot be met. At the time the components were built, no excess material was saved for fabrication of calibration blocks. ,

Requirement #2 cannot be met because the Code assumes an " unclad component",  ;

when in fact all the components are clad on the inner surfaces. j l

ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Calibration blocks required for the examination of welds in these vessels will be fabricated from material of the same specification, product form, and heat treatment as one of the materials being joined as allowed by Article T-434.1.1 in the Winter 1976 Addenda of Section V of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code which states, "The material from which the block is fabricated shall be from one of the following: (1) nozzle drop out from the component; (2) a component prolongation; or (3) material of the same material specification, product form, and heat treatment ~as one of the materials being joined."

.O 2.3.12 RELIEF REQUEST COMPONENT: Pressurizer and Primary Portions of the CODE CLASS: 1 Steam Generators.

EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT:

I-3122 requires that if the component is clad, then the calibration block shall be clad.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

The calibration blocks for the manual ultrasonic examination of the referenced components are not clad. However, the lack of cladding does not affect the calibration of the ultrasonic equipment. Onlv the top (0.D.) portions of the blocks are actually used in the calibrations. Specifically, three side-drilled haies, at depths of 1/4 T, 1/2 T, and 3/4 T, are utilized.

The I.D. of the blocks do contain a 2% T notch. However, it is only used for reference. The amplitude response from the notch is not required to be above a certain minimum. In~ fact, the am91itude is not even recorded. Cladding the

}

,j blocks could cause the amplitude response to either increase or decrease. In

, either case, the calibration would not be affected.

ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

The existing unclad calibration blocks, required for the examination of welds 4 in these vessels will be utilized for the calibration of ultrasonic equipment.

3.0 - INSERVICE INSPECTION OF CLASS 2 COMPONENTS

.A V

The following table ~provides a listing of the Class 2 pressure-retainiPO com-ponents (and their-supports) which are subject to the inspection requirements of Subsection IWC of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1974 Edition, and Addenda through Summer, 1975.

This tabulation identifies the components to be inspected, the component's safety class, the applicable code to which the component was built, and the method of examination. Relief from the inspection requirements of Subsection IWC is requested in cases where these inspection requirements have been deter-mined to be impractical. Where relief is requested specific information is provided which identifies the applicable code requirements, justification for the relief request, and the inspection method to be used as an alternative.

As indicated in the tabulation, some components included in this program were not built to the ASME Section III Code because it was not in effect at the time the component was purchased. However, these components will be

inspected in accordance with the requirements of Subsection IWC to the extent i practical.

The abbreviations used within this table for " Codes Applicable to Construction" are defined as follows:

i III-A = ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code-Section III, Class A

( III-C = ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code-Section III, Class C P&V II = ASME Code for Pumps and Valves for Nuclear Power, Class 2 l (

III-2 = ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code-Section III, Class 2 y

3.1 Non-Applicable Code Requirements The tabulation of inspection requirements for the Class 2 components identify items where the examination requirements of Table IWC-2600 are not applicable.

Specific details are as follows:

3.1.1 The letdown heat exchanger inlet and outlet nozzles are 3-inch nominal diameter, the integrally-welded supports are on the shell (Class 3) side of the vessel, and tube-sheet flange bolting is 1-inch diameter.

3.1.2 The excess letdown heat exchanger inlet and outlet nozzles are 2-inch nominal diameter and the integrally-welded supports are on the shell-(Class 3) side of the vessel.

,^[ ) the RWST to the HHSI pumps, (b) suction piping from the RWST to the

\~ ' LHSI/RHR pumps, (c) suction piping from the RWST to the CTMT spray pumps. These components are exempt under IWC-1220(a).

3.3 ,

Hydrostatic Testing 3.3.1 Subsections IWB and IWC contain differing requirements for the hydrostatic testing of Class 1 and Class 2 systems and components. The implementation of these requirements is impractical when the only means of pressurizing the Class

2 system is through the Class 1 system or when the boundary between the two systems is a check valve arranged for flow from the Clasr " .c the Class 1 system. Exception is taken to the performance of the hydro,.atic test require-ments as required by Article IWC-2412 (a) on those portions of the Class 2 systems identified below. Visual examination for evidence of leakage will be conducted on these portions of the systems at the system nominal operating pressure in accordance with the requirements of IWB-5221 for the adjoining Class 1 system.

Each of the listed portions of Class 2 systems has a design pressure of 2485 psig. The operating pressure of the reactor coolant system is 2235 psig. To meet the requirements of IWC-2412 (a) each line would have to be tested at a pressure of 1.05 X 2485 at 500 F, i.e., 2609 psig. To meet the requirements of IWB-5221 the lines would require testing at 1.02 X 2235 at 500*F, i.e.,

f- s 2280 psig. The 15 portions of systems involved either cannot be isolated from

()-

the Class 1 systems or can only be pressurized through the Class 1 systems.

3.3.1.15 RHR take-off line connections to pressure transmitters PT 402 and 403.

3.3.2 The implementation of the pressure test requirements of Subsection IWC is con-

sidered impractical when a section of Class 2 piping cannot be pressurized without overpressurizing connecting piping of a lower pressure class. Excep-3 tion is taken to the performance of the hydrostatic test requirements of Article IWC-2412 on portions of Class 2 systems as follows: '

3.1.2.1 Charging pump discharge lines between the charging pumps and isola-tion valves Q2E21V123 A, B, C; and mini-flow piping to isolation valve Q2E21V265.

- Visual examination for evidence of leakage will be conducted on these p lines while at nominal operating pressure.

3.3.2.2 Volume control tank spray line from valve Q2E21V152 to the volume l control tank; Chemical ' injection to main feedwater lines between valves Q2N25V002 A, B,-C and the main feedwater lines;

Main feedwater lines from valves Q2N21V001 A, B, and C to the steam generators; Steam generator blowdown lines to valves Q2E24V003 A, B, C; Auxiliary feedwater piping from valves Q2N23V011 A, B, and C to the main feedwater lines; Gross failed fuel detector to letdown between Q2E21V400 and the con-nection with Q2E21GCB '.

Visual examination for evidence of leakage will be conducted on these lines according to the requirements of IWC-2412 for the connecting piping of the-lower pressure class.

3.3.2.3 Relief line discharge header to pressurizer relief tank. This line

, cannot be. isolated from the pressurizer relief tank.

3.4 Requests for Relief from ASME Section XI Requirements 3.4.1 RELIEF REQEST COMPONENT: Regenerative Heat Exchanger CODE CLASS: 2 EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT:

Tables IWC-2520 Category C-A and IWC-2600 Item C1.1 require volumetric examina-tion of the heat exchanger head-to-shell and-shell-to-tubesheet welds.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

The regenerative heat exchanger shell is fabricated from centrifugally cast austenitic steel material which limits ultrasonic examination as required by IWC-2600 to the half-node technique. The geometric configuration of the weld surface and the location of adjacent nozzles and supports provide limitations to the extent of the examinations coverage.

ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Surface examinations will be performed to supplement the volumetric examina-tions.

NY 3.4.4 RELIEF REQUEST COMPONENT: Piping Pressure Boundary CODE CLASS: 2 EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTL Tables IWC-2520 Category C-G and IWC-2600 Item 2.1 require volumetric examina-tion of circe.mferential butt welds plus the adjacent base material for a dis-tance of one wall thickness on either side of the weld. ,

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

The arrangement and details of the Class 2 piping system and components were designed and fabricated before the examination requirements-of Section XI of the Code were formalized and some examinations are limited or not practical due to geometric configuration or accessibility. Generally these limitations exist at all fitting-to-fitting welds such as elbow-to-tee, elbow-to-valve, reducer-to-valve, etc. , where geometry and, sometimes, surface conditions preclude ultra-sonic coupling or access for the required scan length.

-~

x,j ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Ultrasonic examinations will be performed to the extent practical from the pipe and weld surfaces and be supplemented by surface examinations on those welds where 100 percent of the weld and heat affected zone have not been volumetrically examined. Welds requiring supplemental examination, along with the estimated extent of volumetric examination, are as follows:

Table IWC-2600 Item C3.1 requires volumetric examination of pump casing pres-sure-containing welds.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

The pressure-retaining welds in the charging pump casings are not normally accessible for examination as required by IWC-2600. Examination of the charg-ing pump casing weld, Item C3.1, by ultrasonic, radiographic or surface ex-amination requires complete disassembly of the pump casing and removal of the inboard seal housing and rotor assembly.

The configuration is shown in Figure C3.1.

N ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Ultrasonic examination will be conducted whenever a pump is disassembled for maintenance reasons. If no such occasion arises, the examination will be J performed at or near the end of the 10 year interval.

4.0 INSERVICE INSPECTION OF CLASS 3 CCMPONENTS The.following table provides a listing of the Class 3 pressure-retaining componerits (and their supports) which are subject to the inspection require-

~

ments of Subsection IWD of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1974 Edition, and Addenda through Summer, 1975.

This tabulation identifies the. components to be inspected, the component's safety class, the applicable code to which the component was built, and the  :

method of examination. Relief from the inspection requirements of Subsec-tion IWD is requested in cases where these inspection requirements have been i

determined tc.be impractical. Where relief is requested, specific information is provided which identifies the applicable code requirements, justification for the relief request, and the inspection method to be used as an alternative.

The table groups the Class 3 pressure-retaining components (and their supports) on a system basis. Only those portions of the system which contain Class 3 pressure-retaining components (and their supports) are subject to the inspec-tion requirements of Subsection IWD.

i.

. As indicated in the tabulation, many of the' components included in this pro-gram were not built to the ASME Section III Code because it was not in effect j at the time the component was purchased. However, these components will be inspected in accordance with the requirements of Subsection IWD to the

extent practical.

The abbreviations used within this table for " Codes Applicable To Construction" are defined as follows:

III-C- = ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code-Section III, Class C VIII = ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code-Section VIII P&V III = ASME Code for Pumps and Valves for Nuclear Power, Class I'I III-3 = ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code-Section III, Class 3

CXAMINATION REQUIREMENT:

IWD-2410 (b) and (c) require a visual examinacion for leakage either during a system inservice test or during hydrostatic pressure testing.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

Due to component design and mounting details, the visual inspection of these vertical, centrifugal pumps is impractical except at the pump discharge nozzles.

ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Visual inspection of the discharge nozzles will be performed while the pumps are operating. The pump casings will be visually inspected each time the o pumps are removed for maintenance.

IWD-2600 (b) requires that in the case of buried components a system pressure test, in lieu of the visual examination, shall be conducted.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

The design of this sy: tem does not include provisions for testing buried piping as required by IWD-2600 (b). Visual inspection for leakage at ground level is also impossible.

ALTERNATIVE EXAMINATION:

Leaktightness of all buried or encased piping will be demonstrated during normal system functional testing.

EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT:

IWD-2410 (b) requires a visual examination for leakage on all components either during a system inservice test or during hydrostatic testing.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:

These smaller lines have wall thicknesses in excess of what ASME Section III requires for retaining internal pressure. Using bravier-walled piping in these small lines essentially means they are over-designed for the pressure they are retaining and are not susceptible to the type leakages found during hydrostatic testing.

<-'x

( ) System pressure tests will not be performed on lines 2" and smaller unless

'- they are connected to, and cannot be isolated from, larger lines designated to be pressure-tested.
