Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Items of Interest Week Ending March 19, 1993 Seouoyah. Units 1 and 2 Unit I has entered its refueling outage and repairs are continuing on Unit 2 following the pipe rupture in the extraction steam line to a feedwater heater.
TVA is continuing its work on determining why Sequoyah's Erosion / Corrosion Program that did not allow prediction of erosion rates of small diameter pipe.
Meetings with TVA are tentatively scheduled for April 5 and April 12 to discuss the various issues. A Confirmatory Action Letter has been issued by Region II, indicating Sequoyah would take certain actions and would meet with the staff to discuss these actions before restart. An NRC Restart Panel has been formed and a restart plan is being developed.
Yankee Rowe Board of Directors Approves Larce Component Removal The Yankee Atomic Electric Company Board of Directors at their March 12, 1993, meeting voted to go ahead with large component removal at Yankee Rowe.
Currently, the licensee is planning to remove and ship the four steam genera-tors, pressurizer and certain core internals to Barnwell for disposal as low-level waste before NRC reviews and approves the Yankee decommissioning plan.
Only the steam generators require an NRC Transportation License.
The licensee plans to apply for this license in early April 1993. HMSS has arranged for a meeting with the licensee on the Transportation License application on March 23, 1993.
i Review of BWR Materials and Water Chemistry Issues On T esday, March 9, 1993, the staff visited General Electric (GE) facility at San Jose, California to review the following materials related and water chemistry issues pertaining to operating BWRs: (1) update of BWR internals stress corrosion cracking (SCC) field experience from domestic and overseas plants, (2) update of hydrogen water chemistry and zinc injection issues including the recent Monticello findings of high radiation buildup, (3) update on the status of Full System Decontamination program, and (4) the status of GE development program for ultrasonic testing of feedwater nozzles.
GE is concerned about the increasing frequency of BWR internals cracking as the plants age since many BWR reactor internals were made of SCC susceptible materials such as Alloy 182 weld metal, creviced alloy 600 or sensitized 1
stainless steel. GE is recommending that the industry implement an optimum water chemistry strategy for SCC mitigation of BWR internals. The strategy is to provide SCC protection while minimizing adverse side effects such as radiation buildup by implementing simultaneously multiple mitigation processes such as hydrogen water chemistry, depleted zinc oxide injection, noble metal coatings or internal catalytic recombiner. The staff will continue to closely follow the industry's proactive programs in mitigating the SCC of BWR internals.

Feedwater and Accumulator Nozzles Insoection at Diablo Canyon Unit 2 The staff visited the licensee's (Pacific Gas & Electric Company, PG&E)
Hetallurgy Laboratory and the Diablo Canyon plant site on March 10 and 11, 1993, respectively, to monitor the licensee's inspection of steam generator feedwater nozzles. The purpose of the visit was to review the past history of the thermal fatigue cracks that were detected by ultrasonic testing (UT) in Unit I feedwater nozzles during its 1992 refueling outage.
The staff was interested in a report that the cracks were oversized in depth by a factor of 10 during the Unit 1 inspection. The licensee indicated that the main cause for the oversizing was the presence of inclusions in the nozzle material s.
The licensee stated that the signals from inclusions were mistaken as crack tip diffraction signals. The staff examined the metallographic samples prepared from Unit I cracked nozzles.
In addition, the staff reviewed the qualification of the UT equipment and procedures that were used for Unit 2 examination. The licensee stated that the improved UT techniques have the capability of sizing a 0.05 inch deep thermal fatigue crack.
Further, a 0-degree L-wave examination will be used to minimize the likelihood of errors in sizing from any laminar inclusions. The licensee has completed the UT inspection of Unit 2 feedwater nozzles and no cracks were found.
The licensee reported that extensive efforts were made in developing UT and eddy current techniques for the inspection of accumulator nozzles since the problem was discussed in NRC Information Notice No. 91-05. The licensee found several Unit 2 nozzles to be cracked. Those cracked nozzles are being replaced during this refueling outage with a new design using fillet welds to the outside and inside of the accumulator walls. The licensee indicated that the injection accumulators were manufactured by Delton Southern Company (DSC).
The staff noted that nozzle cracking in the DSC manufactured accumulators was previously reported at Prairie Island Unit 2 and H. B. Robinson Unit 2.
The licensee agreed to provide the staff with additional information regarding (1) detailed design of new accumulator nozzles including discussion of Code compliance in the use of fillet welds, (2) repair of accumulator cladding cracks, (3) UT examiners qualification records, and (4) summary of accumulator nozzle inspection results.

l Auamented Insoection Team Report On March 10, 1993, the Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) Report (Report No.
70-1257/93-02) was issued for Siemens Power Corporation. This report is in response to an event that occurred on February 7, 1993, involving the release of a large quantity of low-enriched uranium from its normal process system.
The AIT found that the root cause of the event was poor procedural compliance and poor communications. The AIT also identified concerns regarding work control practices and criticality safety that relate to the potential for neutron moderator intrusion into the controlled process area. The licensee is currently performing an engineering evaluation to address the concerns. This evaluation will be reviewed in a future Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspection and is considered an inspector followup item.
Experimental Dry Drillino/Corina Borehole Completed at Yucca Mountain On March 9,1993, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission On-site Representatives (ors) observed the successful completion of the UZ-16 borehole by the LM300 drill rig. The final depth reached was 1689 feet, approximately 80 feet below the water table. The multipurpose drillhole is being used to gather data on the rate of infiltration of surface waters. The core from this hole will be used for testing of the bulk rock mass and to provide information on subsurface structural and lithologic features. Geophysical logging of the hole will be conducted by Eastern Teleco and verified by Raytheon Nuclear Services (RSN), starting the week of March 15, 1993. A downhole camera survey was completed by Barbour Well Surveying Corporation on March 12, 1993. Gas sampling and liquid and air permeability measurements are also planned for the UZ-16 hole.
While at the site, the ors also observed the directional gyro and video logging of north ramp geologic drillhole 2 (NRG-2). A series of six NRG holes are planned to provide soil and rock properties information for potential location of proposed repository surface waste handling and subsurface access facilities, such as the Exploratory Studies Facility north ramp.
RSN also provided the verification of this logging activity.
The ors reviewed the technical and quality assurance (QA) procedural controls and the implementation of these procedures pertaining to both the UZ-16 and NRG-2 drilling operations', and found them to be in general agreement with program requirements.
Proprietary techniques are being used in the logging of drillhole UZ-16. The ors will review details of the use of these techniques and will work with Headquarters staff to assess the adequacy of the technical and QA procedures associated with this process.

During an inspection on March 3-5, 1993, at the 2 Mwt-SUNY non-power l
reactor, several potential program concerns were identified (including indications of inadequate program oversight and staffing, the change in ownership of the contractor (Buffalo Materials Research Center) that operates the' reactor for SUNY, and disposition of an allegation made to the licensee late in 1992'of an inattentive operator). On March 17, the Director of the Non-Power Reactor and Decommissioning Projects I
Directorate, NRR, the Region I Director, Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards, and the Region 1 Chief, Facilities Radiological Safety and Safeguards Branch, met with the SUNY Vice President.for Research, the General Manager of the reactor facility and others, to discuss these concerns.
