kh fG7 July 21, 1983 Docket No. 50-265 Mr. Dennis L. Farrar Director of Nuclear Licensing Commonwealth Edison Company Post Office Box 767 Chicago, Illinois 60690
Dear Mr. Farrar:
SUBJECT:
INSPECTIONS OF IMR STAINLESS STEEL PIPING As you know, the Commission has recently been briefed on the results of inspections and tests conducted on BWR recirculation system and residual heat removal system piping. Based upon these discussions, the NRC has concluded that it is important to obtain additional infomation regarding the extent of intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) at your facility as soon as practicable.
As a result of inspections conducted at 18 operating Boiling Water Reactors
{ Stress Corrosion Cracking in Thick-Wall, Large-Diameter, Stainless Steel,BWRs) in conforma Recirculation System Piping at BWR Plants," and IE Bulletin No. 83-02, " Stress Corrosion Cracking in Large-Diameter Stainless Steel Recirculation System Piping at BWR Plants"), extensive IGSCC in the primary system piping has been discovered.
These bulletins requested selected licensees to perform a number of actions regarding inspection and testing of pipe welds.
The Commission is considering action to accelerate the conduct of inspections by BWR licensees that have not yet begun inspections requested by the IE Bulletins.
Inspections conducted in response to these bulletins over the last nine months highlighted the IGSCC problem. Results of these and other inspections have revealed extensive cracking in large-diameter recirculation and residual heat removal system piping. For these plants, repairs, analysis and/or additional surveillance conditions were required. The NRC has concluded that other uninspected BWR facilities may have similar IGSCC, which may be unacceptable for continued safe operation without inspection and repair of the affected pipes and additional surveillance requirements. For this reason, we are desirous of accelerating the inspections as much as possible.
Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f), you are requested to submit, signed under oath or affimation, the infomation described below. This infomation should be provided as soon as possible, but in any event, it must be received by the NRC by August 4,1983.

I IE BULLETIN NO. 83-02:
STRESS CORROSION CRACKING IN LARGE-DIAMETER STAINLESS STEEL RECIRCULATION SYSTEM PIPING AT BWR PLANTS Addressees:
Th:se licensees of operating boiling water reactors (BWRs) identified in Table 1 l
for action.
All. other licensees and holders of construction permits (cps) l for information only.
Purpose:
IE Bulletin 83-02 is issued to further inform all licensees and CP holders i
ab2ut the recent generic pipe cracking problems involving BWR plants and to require actions of those licensees listed in Table 1.
Escription of Circumstances:
As a result of the extensive intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) fcund at Nine Mile Point Unit 1, the NRC issued IE Bulletin 82-03, Revision 1 for action to nine BWR plants scheduled for refueling outages in late 1982 and cerly 1983.
Inspections pursuant to IEB 82-03, Revision 1, and NUREG-0313, R; vision 1, have shown cracking of the main recirculation system piping in fivo of seven plants examined, to date. Table 2 presents a summary of affected p1&nts based on information available to date.
IEB 82-03 Rev.1 discusses the IGSCC problems experienced at Nine Mile Point Unit 1.
A brief description of th3 cracking problems at Browns Ferry Unit 2, Monticello and Hatch Unit 1 is prcsanted below.
At Browns Ferry Unit 2', the inservice inspection (ISI)'was extended to include th3 welds joining the jet pump piping sweapolets to the manifold of both A and B loops.
Unacceptable indications were found in the heat affected zone of the l
manifold in the loops A and B sweapolet-to-manifold joint nearest the end caps.
All of the indications were interpreted to be cracks near the inside surface and were determined by UT to be about ils inches long (roughly parr'lel to the weld),
and of about 20 percent depth through-wall.
As a result of ft.ther design annlysis, review of shop fabrication records, and supporting in-situ meta 11ography and ferrite determinations, the licensee established that the affected weld was solution heat treated and, therefore, not subject to the IGSCC.
The licensee l
b31ieves the cracking may be due to fatigue from flow-induced vibration.
At this ime the licensee is trying to resolve the problem.

At Monticello, IGSCC w:s confirmed in one end-cap-to pipe weld of the 22-inch-diameter distribution header,(manifold) and at five welds in the jet pump inlet piping safe-ends which are 12 inches in diameter and are made of schedule 80 stainless steel.
The cracks initiated on the inside surface in heat affected zones (HAZs) of the welds.
Some cracks were oriented axially and some circum-forentially.
They varied from % inch to 1 inch in length.
Some axial cracks in the recirculation inlet risers were found to be through wall during subsequent repair activities and hydrotesting, although ultrasonic examination previously perfomed on these welds did not reflect this condition.
At Hatch Unit 1, multiple linear indications characteristic of the IGSCC found at Monticello were identified at seven welds in the large-diameter recirculation and associated residual heat removal (RHR) piping.
The affected welds were 1ccated as follows:
All four 22-inch-diameter manifold end-caps, one 22-inch-diameter branch connection (sweapolet-to-manifold) of the recirculation piping, one elbow-to pipe weld in the 20-inch RHR piping, and one pipe-to pipe weld in the 24-inch diameter RHR piping.
The location and orientation of the indications were.very similar to those found at Monticello.
The length of the indications ranged up to inch in the axial direction and ih-inch in the circumferential direction.
Based on UT measurements, the depth of axial component of the crack indications were found to have essentially penetrated
~
through the wall in three of the four end-cap welds repaired to date.
Tha discovery of extensive IGSCC in the lange-diameter recirculation piping at Nine Mile Point Unit 1 (le4P 1) after a decade of acceptable service has resulted in increased concern about the effectiveness of UT methodology used in the inscrvice inspection of stainless steel 8WR pipe welds particularly in large-diameter piping.
Therefore, the goal of Item i of IEB 82-03, Revision 1 3
was to obtain reassurance of.the capability of UT inspection systems, techniques, and operators to detect significant IGSCC problems in the nine BWR plants that wore performing ISI during fall / winter outages.
The performance test protocol as stated in Item 1 of IES 82-03, Revision 1 required the licensee and/or ISI ag:ncies to demonstrate their capability to detect IGSCC in larga-diameter rscirculation system piping before resuming power operation. Within this context,~~
Electric Power Research Institute's NOE (EPRI-NDE) Center arranged to have five reasonably characterized, service-induced cracked pipe samples from the NMP 1 plant available at Battelle Columbus Laboratories (BCL) for industry performance captbility demonstrations (PCDs).
All nine plants have now satisfied the demonstration phase of IEB 82-03, Rcvision 1.
By letter dated January 28, 1983, EPRI provided each licensee a summary of all teams performances, based on composite results from the five samples, plus a key to identify their ISI team's achievement.
l Tha PCD results at BCL have shown that excellent performance can be achieved by well trained and experienced personnel with appropriate procedures and evaluation methods.
However, personnel from a relatively few licensee /ISI organizations achieved this level of competence during the first qualification attempt.
The ovorall results revealed a high failure rate which required retesting of the licensee /ISI organization teams.
Several interrelated factors contributed to
'his rate of failure:
March 4,f1983
.0 Page 3 of 8*
1.
UT procedures essentially meeting only the minimum requirements of tMe ASME Section XI code were ineffective.
2.
UT procedures lacked specific detailed guidance on UT systems and methods proven capable of detecting IGSCC in thick-walled piping.
3.
Some UT operators were inexperienced in evaluating signal patterns of reflectors 1
in thick walled, large-diameter piping.
Thus, some cracks were missed, or were called geometry effects; some geometry effects were falsely called cracks.
4.
Many UT operators, inexperienced about the nature of IGSCC in large-diameter 1
piping, did not establish finite metal path calculations during scanning; 1
this resulted in falsely identified conditions.
In view of the collective results at BCL, a continuation of the PCD program appears necessary.
Accordingly, the EPRI-NDE Center has arranged to have a scries of service-induced cracked specimens available for this purpose at their facility about March 14, 1983.
The NRC recognizes that the prescribed actions of this bulletin exceed present plant ISI surveillance requirements under ASME Code Section XI rules.
- However, in view of the apparently generic pipe cracking experience and results of the UT demonstration trials, the NRC believes such an augzented ISI plan is necessary to reasonably assure the integrity of the recirculation system for continued op rations.
These actions are intended to apply only to the currently scheduled rcfueling outage for those plants listed _in Table 1.
Any licensee who finds these actions will significantly impact the duration of the refueling outage may request rolief by written request to the appropriate NRC regional office.
Such requests cust address (1) the impact on the length of the outage, (2) proposed alternative actions, and (3) technical basis for continuing operation.
Actions to Be Taken by Licensees of BWR Facilities Identified in Table 1:
1.
Before resuming power operations following this scheduled or extended outage, the licensee is requested to demonstrate the effectiveness of the detection capability of the UT methodology planned to be used to examine welds in recircirculation system piping.
It is intended that the demonstrations be performed at the EPRI-NDE Center on service-induced l
cracked pipe samples made available for this purpose.
Each licensee should assure that the demonstration is valid for the weldsents of the recirculation system piping of their plant.
Arrangements should be made to facilitate NRC witnessing of these tests.
The demonstration tests will employ the following criteria, a.
Ultrasonic Testino System:
To ensure that the fie1J UT system will respond in the same way as the demonstrated system, the same procedures, standards, make and model of the UT instrument, anc transducers to be utilized in the plant ISI are to be used in the IG5CC detection capability demonstration.
EES 83-02 5,,
March 4, 1983 Pago 4 of 6 b.
Personnel Performing Demonstration:
UT personnel teams drawn from the licensec/ISI contractor wno will be actually supervising, performing examinations, recording data, and evaluating indications at the plant site will participate in the performance demonstration tests.
All l
xabers of the teams must participate directly in the UT scanning, data recorCng, and evaluation of the test samples.
To ensure completion of testing within the time constraints below, the team should be limited to six persons.
For subsequent plant inspections, the personnel / equipment requirements noted below will apply.
c.
Pipe Samples:
The total number of pipe samples selected should constitute an equivalent of 120 inches of weld for the demonstration tests.
d.
Acceptacle Criteria:
Eighty percent of the total number of preselected cracks in the sample control group must be called correctly to constitute an acceptable test.
Excess.ive false call rates may result, in an unacceptable performance rating.
e.
Demonstration Time Limit:
ALARA radiation dose considerations place constraints upon ttje time spent in field inservice inspection of a weld.
Therefore, a time limit of six hours, not including equipment calibration time, will be imposed for the examination and data recording.
Completion of data evaluation and preparation of final results of individual licensee /ISI contractors should take no longer than one additional working day.
f.
Review of UT Procedures:
The specific procedure (s) to be used by the licensee /ISI contractor (s) for plant inservice inspection is to be made available for review as part of the demonstration activity.
It is expected that the UT procedure and equipment system will have been validated to be capable of detecting IGSCC by the licensee /ISI con-tractor before initiating the scheduled demonstration activities.
NOTE:
Some of the licensees listed in Table 1 have completed efforts I
to validate the UT detection capability to be used.to perform plant inspections in accordance with the requirements of Action Item I of IEB 82-03, Revision 1.
These licensees need not repeat this effort 1
in accordance with Action Item 1 of this bulletin provided that:
the previous validated inspection group performs the new plant examination using identical UT procedures, standards, make and model of UT instrument, and the same make and model transducers that were used to complete the previous validation effort. In addition, the UT personnel employed in the new examination must be the same; or those having appropriate training (documented) in IGSCC inspection using cracked thick-wall pipe specimens, and are under direct supervision of the l
Level II/III UT operators who successfully complete the performance demonstration tests.
IEB 83-02 6.
Y March 4, 1983 Pag 3 5 of 6 2.
Before resuming power operations licensees are to augment their ISI programs to include an ultrasonic examination of the following minimum number of recirculation system welds:"
i a.
Ten welds in recirculation piping of 20-inch diameter, or larger.
i b.
Ten welds of the jet pumps inlet riser piping and associated safe-ends.
c.
Two sweepolet-to-header (manifold) welds of jet pump risers nearest the end caps, if applicable to the design.
If flaws indicative of cracking are found in the above examination, additional inspection is to be conducted in accordance with IW8 2430 of ASME Code Section XI.
3.
Before resuming power operatio.. following the outage, the licensee is to 4
report the results of the Item 2 inspection and any corrective actions (in the event cracking is identified).
This report should also include the susceptibility matrix used as a basis for welds selected for examination (e.g. stress rule index, carbon content, high stress location, repair history) and their valugs for each weld examined.
4 The NRC has an on going program to evaluate possible additional longer-term requirements relative to the IGSCC problem in the BWR recirculation system piping.
The NRC may need additional information as part of this program.
Therefore, licensees are requested to retain the records and data developed pursuant to the inspections performed in accordance with Item 2.
5.
The written report required by Item 3 shall tie submitted to the appropriate Regional Administrator under oath or affirmation under provisions of Section 182a, Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
The original copy of the cover letter and a copy of the reports shall be transmitted to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 for reproduction and distribution.
This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under clearance number 3150-0096 which expires 12/31/84.
Comments on burden and duplication should be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, R: ports Management, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.'C.
20503.
"Since Big Rock Point and Lacrosse do not have jet pumps, the licensees of these plants should provide an equivalent sampling of the recirculation piping system based on the plant design.
