1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes evaluations perfonned by NUTECH

to assess a weld overlay repair of the end cap to Loop A recirculation manifold weld at Northern States Power Company's Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The weld overlay has been applied to address ultrasonic and radiographic examination results believed to be indicative of incipient intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in the vicinity of the weld. The purpose of the overlay is to arrest any further propagation of the cracking, and to restore original design safety margins to the weld.

The required design life of the weld overlay repair is at least one fuel cycle. The actual design life will be established by a combination of future analysis and e . . . testing.

                                    ~

f Three crack indications have been found in the end cap weld heat affected zone. Figure 1.1 shows the recirculation manifold in relation to the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and other portions of the recirculation system. All three crack indications are located in the 12 o' clock position adjacent to the weld n NSP-81-103 1  : I lPevision 0 . le ... { nut _ech

3 l 2.0 REPAIR DESCRIPTION 1 The longitudinal crack indications in the end cap weld _ heat affected zone have been repaired by establishing additional " cast-in-place" pipe wall thickness from weld metal deposited 360 degrees around and to either side of _ the existing weld, as shown in Figure 2.1. The weld deposited band over the longitudinal crack indications will increase the wall thickness to approximately 0.4 inch greater than that which exists in adjacent uncracked piping. In addition, the weld metal deposition will produce a favorable compressive residual stress pattern and the weld metal will be type 308L, _. which is resistant to propagation of IGSCC cracks. t i .

Because of the nature of this repair, the geometric configuration is not directly covered by Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, which is intended for new construction. However, materials, fabrication procedures, and Quality Assurance requirements are in accordance with applicable sections of this Construction Code, and the intent of the design criteria described below is to demonstrate equivalent margins of safety on _ strength and fatigue considerations as provided in the i ASME Section III Design Rules. In addition, because of the IGSCC conditions that led to the need for repairs, IGSCC resistant materials have been selected,for the weld overlay used in the repair.

4.1 Mechanical and Internal Pressure Loads The design pressure of 1248 psi for the recirculation system was obtained from Reference 4. Since the end cap is at the end of *-the recirculation manifcid, there are l no significant dead weight or seismic stresses applied l to it.

I The only transient thermal condition defined in Reference 4 that occurs at the end cap is the normal startup and shutdown cycling. The maximum allowable hea*.up or cooldown rate is 100*F per hour.

potential low pressure coolant injection (LPCI) into the

'                           recirculation system during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The thermal transient was very conservatively defined as a step change in water temperature from 546*F to 90*F at a flow velocity of 10 feet per second. One
   ,,                       of these LPCI cycles is assumed to occur every five g

years (Reference 7). Also defined in Reference 7 is a 1 thermal transient based on actual plant operation due to the initiation of shutdown ecoling. The shutdown cooling transient is defined as a 50*F step change in water temperature and it occurs 10 times per year. _ NSP-81-103 11,'

    ..i was assumed to be negligible (based on a shell intersection analysis). The shrinkage of the weld

_, overlay should therefore have a minimal effect on the w sweepolet. A finite element model of the cracked and 7 weld overlayed region was developed using the ANSYS (Reference 9) computer program. The crack depth was conservatively assumed to be 0.15 inch instead of the measured depth of approximately 0.12 inch. Figure 5.1 shows the model. The pressure stress profile for a design pressure of 1248 psi was calculated with this F model. The results are shown in Figure 5.2. The weld overlay thermal model was also taken to be axi-symmetrical (Figure 5.3). The exterior boundary was NSP-81-103 12 '

Fatigue crack growth due to the three types of thermal transients defined in Section 4.2 was calculated using material properties from Reference 13. The fatigue cycles considered are g

U shown in Figure 5.4. IGSCC growth depends on the total steady state stress. I The steady state stresses can be postulated to be high i due to the presence of weld residual stresses. The magnitude of weld residual stresses without the weld overlay is difficult to determine. Reference 16 gives a measurement of the residual stress through the thickness near a 26-inch butt weld. The weld overlay is expected to reduce the residual stresses, but the magnitude is not known. Future.wprk at the Electric Power Research l Institute (EPRI) is expected to increase our under-l' standing of this reduction. To be conservative, another case with through wall bending residual stress equal to 30,000 psi was also considered. 30,000 psi is the ASME j Code room temperature yield stress fo 304 stainless l' steel.

SUMMARY

AND CONCLUSIONS

                                           -                                                1 The evaluation of t,he repairs to the recirculation end cap reported herein shows that the resulting stress 1cvels are acceptable for all design conditions. The stress levels have been assessed from the standpoint cf'

- load capacity of the components, fatigue, and resistance to crack growth. 1 Acceptance criteria for the analysis have been C established in Section 3.0 of this report which demonstrate that: ? L.I - 1. There is no loss of design safety margin over those provided by both the original Construction Code for the piping system (B31.1) or the current Code of Construction for Class 1 piping (ASME Section III). L

2. During the design lifetime of the repair, the fT '

observed cracks will not grow to the point where the above safety margins would be exceeded. 6 Analyses have been performed and results are presented ,

~

which demonstrate that the repaired weld satisfies these criteria by a large margin, and that the design life of the repair is at least five years.
