3.6.A & 4.6.A BASES (Cont'd)

Operating limits on the reactor pressure and temperature were developed after l

l consideration of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50.

These considerations involved the reactor vessel beltline and certain areas of discontinuity (e.g. feedwater nozzles and vessel head flange).

These operating limits (Figures 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3) assure that a postulated surface flaw can be safely accommodated.

Figure 3.6.3 includes an additional 40 F margin required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix G.

The fracture toughness of the vessel low alloy steel in the core region, referred to as beltline, gradually decreases with exposure to neutrons, and it is necess-ary tn account for this change.

Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 provides methods for predicting decreased fracture toughness, in terms of shif t in refer-ence temperature of nilductility (RTsurveillancecapsulesareremovedan$ die)s.

Generic methods are used until two ted, at which time the surveillance test results may be used to deve'iop plant-specific relationships of RT shift NDT versus fluence.

Three capsules of neutron flux wires and samoles of vessel material were installed in the reactor vessel adjacent to the vessel wall at the core midplane level.

The first capsule of wires and samples was removed at the end of Cycle 7 and tested in 1988 to experimentally verify the irradiation shift in RT pre-dicted by Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 methods.

Theresultsofth$D[esting are documented in GE Report SASR 88-24 of DRF B13-01445.

The results of vessel material testing will not be factored into Figures 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3 until the second capsule is tested.

However, the flux wire results were used to predict the design fluence (valid to 32 effective full power years (EFPY)).

The flux wire test results provide the flux at one location in the vessel.

The flux distribution can be determined analytically from the core physics data.

_The ratio of the flux at the peak vessel location to that at the flux wire loca-tion, known as the lead factor, was calculated to relate the flux wire test results to the maximum value for the vessel.

In developing Figures 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3, the shift predicted by Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 methods for 32 EFPY of fluence was taken into account.

However, in comparing the beltline operating limits (with 32 EFPY shift) to the feedwater nozzle limits, it was determined that the feedwater nozzle was more limiting.

Since the feedwater nozzles do not experience significant changes in fracture toughness due to l

irradiation, the pressure-temperature limits in Figures 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3 apply, without any RT shifting, through 32 EFPY of operation.

NDT As described in paragraph 4.2.5 of the Final Safety Analysis Report, detailed stress analyses have been made on the reactor vessel for both steady state and transient conditions with respect to material f atigue.

The results of these transients are compared to allowable stress limits.

Requiring the coolant tem-perature in an idle recirculation loop to be within 50 F of the operating loop temperature before a recirculation pump is started assures that the changes in coolant temperature at the reactor vessel nozzles and bottom head region are acceptable.
