}p MINtfrES OF THE ACRS SUBC04MITTES MEETING ON METAL COMPONETiS November 5, 1979 Washington, D.C. 20555 he ACRS Subcommittee on Metal Components met in Room 1167, 1717 H St. N.W.,
Washington, D. C. on November 5,1979 to hear from the BWR Omers Gcour, con-cerning the matter of BWR pipe cracking in partial response to the August 16, 1979 AGS letter on this topic. Generic items such as pipe crackirg, in-service inspection and other related topics were also discussed.
The notice of this meeting was published in the Federal Register dated W e schedule of the meeting, the attendee list and handouts received at the meeting is attached. No oral or written requests were received from members of the public.
Mr. E. G. Igne was the Designated Federal Dnployee of the meeting.
We meeting was called to order at 8:30 A.M. by Dr. P. 91ewmon, Clairman of the Subcommittee. %mbers present were Dr. J. Mark and Mr. M. Bender. Gn-sultants present were Drs. Dillon, Berry and Corten.
Dr. D. Rossin, Chairman of the Technical Advisory Committee of the BWR Owners Group Dr. Rossin thanked the subecznmittee for the opportunity of the B&W Owners group to present their program in response to the ACRS concerns on the in-creased incidence of BWR pipe cracks. He stated that the BWR Owners Group program is well conceived and the Technical Advisory Committee have the authority to make changes to the technical aspects of the programs if desired.
METAL C04PONENTS Dr. Rossin then described the history and the organization of the group.
He stated that the group was formed when cracks were discovered in the Dresden reactors in 1965. We group advised EPRI during the formative years in the planning of a technical program to solve the pipe crack problem. Mien the Duane Arnold and some foreign plants experienced pipe cracks, substan-tially more work in this area was needed. A S30 million dollar over a four-year period was recently funded. A Garter and Research Agreement was formulated in October 1979, which included a per-share basis for funding the program.
Forty-eight snares were needed, and 56-1/2 shares (21 out of the 29 companies) are signed, and the group is considered fully funded. We budget for FY 1980 is about $10 million. his budget -is in addition to money coming from EPRI.
He stressed the point that there are two sources of funding and only one integrated research program.
Dr. Rossin stated that a basic goal of the program is to prevent the pipe crack phenomenon from creating safety problems, and to minimize plant unavail-ability due to pipe cracks. He further stated that there is no guarantee that pipe cracks will not continue to occur, but they will be detected and j
repaired before crack instability occurs. No fonnal mechanism exists for the implementation of fixes recommended by EPRS, but Dr. Rossin stated that utilities have been very cooperative in repairing pipe cracks.
1 We owners have decided that EPRI will manage the entire program and the BWR 1
Owners Group will act in an advisory manner.
[
l
3 Mr. Stahlkopf, EPRI Mr. Stahlkopf presented the technical program dealing with intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in BWR's.
He briefly presented the inci-dence of pipe cracks in both domestic and foreign plants. In 1978 there were 132 incidents.
In 1979 there had been 191 incidents including six cracks from a foreign plant. We data indicates that the cracking incidence seems to be increasing linearly on a yearly basis. He attributed the cause of the cracks to ICSC. He stated that susceptible materials (high-carbon materials),
stresses and oxygen environments lead to the types of cracks seen.
Because of the history of the pipe cracks, the utility has been concerned with the potential availability and reliability problems surrounding pipe cracking and would like to mitigate the effects of IGSCC in BWR's.
We philosophy of the EPRI program is to develop a series of on-the-shelf fixes that can be applied to both existing plants and plants under construction.
Examples of some of the fixes now being implemented are as follows:
1.
'Nenty-four plants are using solution heat treatment in welded joints.
2.
Corrosion resistant cladding is being used in 15 plants.
3.
Alternate material (low-carbon, nitrogen-strengthened 304 or 316 materials are used in 18 plants presently under construction.
e
_4 Mr. R. Jones, EPRI Mr. Jones addressed the plant problem resolution phase of the program that deals with the piping integrity analysis. He stated the three major objectives of this phase of the program as follows:
To provide the utilities with improved capabilities for predicting 1.
where crack will form and for detecting the cracks if they do form.
We major thrusts are to develop improved methods of identifying welds susceptible to IGSCC, to develop improved crack detection capabilities and to develop improved leak detection techniques to insure that if through-wall cracks are developed, they will be detected in a timely fashion before the crack becomes unstable. We major thrust in this area are to improve the determination of crack size by NDE and surveillance techniques, predict crack growth and crack shape and to assess safety margins considering various loadings.
Tb provide models for predicting crack growth if the cracks do form and 2.
what types of crack shapes and leaks are likely to develop.
To evaluate the consequences of cracking from a systems point of view, 3.
for example, of dat kinds of leak rates to expect if through-wall cracks occur and to determine the affects of loading and residual stresses on the cracks. In this area of consequence evaluation, the following concerns will be addrussed.
te consequences of exceeding the fracture toughness of the a.
- eterial.
i
A b.
We quantifications of leak rates of a crack for various loads.
Multiple breaks due to one large loading impulse and leak before c.
break phenomenon will be investigated. tis phenomenon has been analyzed for the Duane Arnold case and the cracks were found to be stable.
Mr. J. Danko, EPRI Mr. Danko's presentation covered the ' topic of pipe system improvement or pipe remedy developent. We objective of the remedy developent activities is to develop and evaluate remedies for application to the BWR recirculation piping system and to demonstrate improvement of these pipe remedies. %e technical approach is based on an understanding of the mechanism of IGSCC. Mr. Danko stated that at this point in time, they have a very good understanding of the IGSCC phenomena. tree factors are required to produce IGSCC. Wey are (1) a material with sensitized microstructure, (2) the presence of stress or strain, and (3) a hostile environment; each item superimposed such that they are coincident in one area. Remove any one of these factors and IGSCC is prevented.
Extensive tests are being made on 16 inch diameter pipes. Tests of pipe sizes of 26 to 28 inches in diameter are being planned in the next few years.
De General Electric Co. is the largest contractor of this integrated pro-We Subcpmmittee questioned if other independent activities are being gram.
i
. conducted to validate the results on the program.
It was stated that Battelle within the next year will be doirg some work in this area using large diameter pipes. Japan is also doing independent work in this area. We NRC is plannity some independent research programs to evaluate the proposed fixes and solutions to the problem.
Mr. L. Martel, EPRI Mr. Martel discussed the area on Remedy Applications. Se intent of this program is to put the various remedies on the shelf for the utilities use.
About 10-15 million dollars are committed to this program in FY 1980.
This work will be done by actual demonstration of the remedies on full size piping mockups. A contract to build a facility has been let and is expected to be complete about June of 1980, and be operational by the end of the year.
An important element in this F ase of the program is to qualify personnel h
for applying those retetes in plants.
1 The preparation of specifictions and procedures and quality assurance l
plans falls in this area. Rese would then be demonstrated on full-size mockups.
Mr. R. Smith, EPRI Mr. Smith is the coordinator for all the BWR programs. Mr. Smith gave a sumary to EPRI's presentation. Se following are highlights of his pre-sentation.
. Other countries are also working on the program. %ey are Japan,
)
Sweden, Germany and Italy.
Technology transfer will be stressed.
IGSCC is well understood.
Fixes or remedies have been developed and implemented.
Stress related remedies such as induction heating stress improvement, heat sink welding are important, especially to plants already built.
Environmental studies of BWR water chemistry have been initiated.
Actual benefits of these studies are still in question.
NDE equipnent developnent and deployment in the field is in process.
Ductile fracture mechanics is now bearing fruits in the prediction of the pipe crack pienomena.
Eis is an integrated program involving EPRI, BWR owners group, NRC, people abroad. In the near future independent capabilities will be be a reality.
Communication among cognizant people are excellent.
Mr. Rossin Mr. Rossin next introduced the utility representatives present. %ere were 15 representatives of the utilities at this meeting. Mr. Taylor reposenting tis the Susquehanna plants discussed modifications to mitigate pipe cracks.
plant is well along the construction stage. Some of the fixes performed at Susquehanna are listed below.
Eliminated as much of the high carbon 304 material as possible.
Corrosion resistant claddings on the upper and lower ends of recirculation t
riser pipe.
i I
. Redesigned the Inconel safe-ends in response to the Duane Arnold problem.
Dnployed mechanical deaeration system, to reduce the oxygen content.
tis remedy should reduce general corrosion problems and crtd build-up.
Plan to use inductive heating stress technique to reduce residual stresses.
Mr. MacLaughlin of TVA next presented their implenentation program Bey are a Is11ows:
Safe end nozzles were replaced with approved design.
We bypass lines were removed and capped.
W e stainless steel core spray lines were removed and replaced with with carbon steel.
Mr. V. Noonan, NRC Mr. Noonan next covered some generic items in the perview of the metal com-ponents subcommittee. We items covered were as follows:
Status of PWR and BWR pipe cracks.
Cracks in the borated pipes at M I-1.
Feedwater pipe cracks.
Technical specifications on water chemistry.
Status of steam generator problems, in foreign reactors, Trojan and i
Prairie Island.
Mr. Nooran gave a status report on the Millstone feedwater line cracks.
He stated that.tne cracks were about 60 to 90 mils deep with some cracks extending ciretsnfarentially 360 degrees. All of the cracks appear to be i
. away from the heat affected zone. Fracture mechanics analysis indicated that Millstone can go back to power until the refueling outage due at the end of October. Inspection during this outage has shown that the cracks have been deeper than when the cracks were found at the original inspection.
WC requested that the pipe be replaced.
Mr. Noonan also stated that a report on the Stress Rule Index by GE has been received. We Staff is currently reviewing the report.
Mr. W. Hazelton, NRC Mr. Hazelton presented a report of the pipe crack problem. He stated that the Staff was asked to comment on the Pipe Crack Study Group report, NtREG-0531, dated February 1979. S e Staff evaluation of the current pipe crack problem is found in NUREG-0313, Rev.1. his report is currently out for coment.
Recommendations and implementation information are also delineated in this Mr. Hazelton, in response to a question by the Subcommittee, stated report.
that the report does not contain any new material.
Mr. F. Almeter, NRC Mr. Almeter next discussed water chemistry technical specification and why the staff is now removing the technical specification for PWR secondary water chemistry.Mr. Almeter stated that early in the program, water chemistry Technical Specifications, for example in Beaver Valley, presented chemistry probelms during the start-up 2ase. We plant was in hot shutdown for about two months in order to reduce the conductivity of the water frcm 50 to 25 micrombos, te Specifications had to be revised in order that the plants
~
i I
. start up in a more efficient manner. te Staff is now removirs the Technical Specification requirement on secondary side water chemistry and replacing it with a monitoring program.
Mr. Almeter stated that Ginna has a successful monitoring program because its steam generator is in excellent condition.
In 1977 Ginna installed a complete demineralizer system on the secondary side.
It also has a tighter control on the amount of condenser in-leakage.
We Subcommittee inquired about the criteria to be used to evaluate the moni-toring program and stated that the Staff should develop a better basis for understanding the water chemistry problem.
