1. INTRODUCTION Heatup and cooldown limit curves are calculated using the most limiting value of RTNDT (reference nil-ductility temperature) for the reactor vessel. The most limiting RTNDT of the material in the core region of the reactor vessel is determined by using the preservice reactor vessel material fracture toughness properties and estimating the radiation-induced ARTNDT-RTNDT is designated as the higher of either the drop weight nil-ductility transition tempcrature (NDTT) or the temperature at which the material exhibits at least 50 ft-lb of impact energy and 35-mil lateral expansion (normal to the major working direction) minus 60'F.

RTNDT increases as the material is exposed to fast-neutron radiation.

Therefore, to find the most limiting RTNDT at any time period in the reactor's life, ARTNDT due to the radiation exposure associated with that time period must be added to the original unirradiated RTNDT. The extent of the shift in RTNDT is enhanced by certain chemical elements (such as copper

._ and nickel) present in reactor vessel steels. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published a method for predicting radiation embrittlement in Regulatory Guide 1.99 Rev. 2 (Radiation Embrittlement of Reactor Vessel Materials)ll). Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 is used for the calculation of RTNDT values at 1/4T and 3/4T locations (T is the thickness of the vessel at the beltline region).

2. FRACTURE TOUGHNESS PROPERTIES -

The fracture-toughness properties of the ferritic materici in the reactor coolant pressure boundary are determined in accordance with the NRC Regulatory Standard Review Plan [23 The pre-irradiation fracture-toughness properties of the Sequcyah Unit 2 reactor vessel are presented in Table 1.

3. CRITERIA FOR ALLOWABLE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS The ASME approach for calculating the allowable 1fmit curves for various heatup and cooldown rates specifies that the total stress intensity factor, Kg, for the combined thermal and pressure stresses at any time during heatup or cooldown cannot be greater than the reference stress intensity factor, KlR' for the metal temperature at that time. KIR is obtained from the reference fracture toughness curve, defined in Appendix G to the ASME CodeI33 The Kyg curve is given by the following equation:

KIR - 26.78 + 1.223 exp [0.0145 (T-RTNDT + 160)) (1) where KIR = reference stress intensity factor as a function of the metal temperature 1 and the metal reference nil-ductility temperature RTNDT Therefore, the governing equation for the heatup-cooldown analysis is defined in Appendix G of the ASME CodeI33 as follows:

CKg+i KIT I KIR (2) where Kyg = stress intensity factor caused by membrane (pressure) stress KIT = stress intensity factor caused by the thermal gradients KIR " function of temperature relative to the RTNDT of the material t

C = 2.0 for Level A and Level 8 service limits C - 1.5 for hydrostatic and leak test conditions during which the reactor core is not critical 2

At any time during the heatup or cooldown transient, XIR is determined by the metal temperature at the tip of the postulated flaw, the appropriate value for RTNDT, and the reference fracture toughness curve.' The thermal stresses resulting from the temperature gradients through the vessel wall are calculated and then the corresponding (thermal) stress intensity factors, KIT, for the !

reference flaw are computed. From equation 2, the pressure stress intensity l

factors are obtained and, from these, the allowable pressures are calculated.

For the calculation of the allowable pressure versus coolant temperature during I cooldown, the reference flaw of Appendix G to the ASME Code is assumed to exist at the inside of the vessel wall. During cooldown, the controlling location of the flaw is always at the inside of the wall because the thermal gradients i produce tensile stresses at the inside, which increase with increasing cooldown rates. Allowable pressure-temperature relations are generated for both r

steady-state and finite cooldown rate situations. From these relations, -

composite limit curves are constructed for each cooldown rate of interest.

e The use of the composite curve in the cooldown analysis is necessary because control of the cooldown procedure is based on the measurement of reactor .

coolant temperature, whereas the limiting pressure is actually dependent on the material temperature at the tip of the assumed flaw.

During cooldown, the 1/4 T vesrel location is at a higher temperature than the fluid adjacent to the ve.ssel ID. This condition, of course, is not true for the steady-state situation. It follows that, at any given reactor coolarrt ;

temperature, the AT developed during cooldown results in a higher value of Kyg at the 1/4 T location for finite cooldown rates than for steady-state operation. Furthermore, if conditions exist so that the increase in K IR exceeds KIT, the calculated allowable pressure during cooldewn will be greater than the steady-state value.

The above procedures are needed because there is no direct control on temperature at the 1/4 T location and, therefore, allowable pressures may !

Y unknowingly be violated if the rate of cooling is decreased at various 3

= .

i l

intervals along a cooldown ramp. The use of the composite curve eliminctes t this problem and ensures conservative operation of the system for the entire >

~

cooldown period.

Three separate calculations are required to determine the limit curves for j finite heatup rates. As is done in the cooldown analysis, allowable pressure-temperature relationships are developed for steady-state conditions as well as f

finite heatup rate conditions assuming the presence of a 1/4 T defect at the !

inside of the wall that alleviate the tensile stresses produced by internal i pressure. The metal temperature at the crack tip lags the coolant temperature; I therefore, the KIR for the 1/4 T crack during heatup is lower than the K IR for the 1/4 T crack during steady-state conditions at the same coolant :

temperature. During heatup, especially at the end of the transient, conditions may exist so that the effects of compressive thermal stresses and lower KIR's do not offset each other, and the pressure-temperature curve based on steady-st 'onditions no longer represents a lower bound of all similar curves for finite heatup rates when the 1/4 T flaw is considered. Therefore, !

both cases have to-be analyzed in order to ensure that at any coolant :

temperature the lower value of the allowable pressure calculated for !

steady-state and finite heatup rates is obtained.

{

The second portion of the heatup analysis concerns the calculation of the pressure-temperature limitations for the case in which a 1/4 T deep cutside i surface flaw is assumed. Unlike the situation at the vessel inside surface, the thermal gradients established at the outside surface during heatup produce strasses which are tensile in nature and therefore tend to reinforce any pressure stresses present. These thermal stresses are dependent on both the t i

rate of heatup and the time (or coolant temperature) along the heatup ramp. !

Since the thermal stresses at the outside are tensile and increase with increasing heatup rates, each heatup rate must be analyzed on an individual basis.

I Following the generation of pressure-temperature curves for both the steady I

state and finite heatup rate situations, the final limit curves are produced by {

constructing a composite curve based on a point-by-point comparison of the steady-state and finite heatup rate data. At any given temperature, the i

4 l

l 1

.c *

. allowable pressure is taken to be the lesser of th three values taken from the curves under consideration. The use of the composite curve is necessary to set conservative _ heatup limitations because it is possible for conditions to exist' wherein, over the course of the heatup ramp, the control-ling condition switches from the insi ' to the .outside, and the pressure limit must at all times be based on analy s of the most critical criterion.

Finally, the 1983 Amendment to 10CFR50I43 has a rule which addresses the metal temperature of the closure head flange and vessel flange regions. This rule states that the metal temperature of the closure flange regions must exceed _the material RTNDT by at least 120'F for norm.11 operation when the pressure exceeds 20 percent of the preservice hydrostatic test . pressure., i i ;

i Table 1 indicates that the initial RTNDT of -13*F occurs in the closure head flange of Sequoy 5 Unit 2, so the minimum allov able temperature of :this region is 107'F. These limits are shown in F'a'~ l and 2 whenever applicable. !

4. HEATUP AND C00LDOWN LIMIT CURVES ' t Limit curves for normal heatup and cooldown of the primary reactor pressure <

vessel have been calculated using the methods discussed in Se'ction 3. Figures !

1, 2 and 3 contain the heatup curves for 20, 40 and 60*F/hr, respectively.

Figure 4 contains the cooldown curves up to 100*F/hr. Figures 1 through 4 are applicable for the first 16 EFPY of operation. No, margins were included in the development of heatup and cooldown curves to allow for possible instrumentation errors. ,

Allowable combinations of temperature and pressure for specific temperature :

^

change rates for heatup operation are below and to the right of th'e limit lines !

shown in Figures 1 th~ rough 3. This is in addition to other criteria which must ?

be met before the reactor is made-critical .

i The leak test limit curve was determined by methods of References 2 and 4. ;

r The criticality limit curve shown in Figures 1, 2 Tnd 3, specifies i pressure-temperature limits for core operation to provide additional margin :

during actual power production as specified in Reference 4. The [

pressure-temperature limits for core operation (except for low power physics i tests) are that the reactor vessel must be at a temperature equal to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and f

~

at least 40*F higher than the minimum pressure-temperature curve for her. tup [

and cooldown calculated as described in Section 3. The maximum temperature for f the inservice hydrostatic test for the Sequoyah Unit 2 reactor vessel is

{

274*F. A vertical line at 274'F on the pressure-temperature curve, !

intersecting a curve 40*F higher than the pressure-temperature limit curve, constitutes the limit for core operation for the reactor vessel. [

J Figures I through 4 define limits for ensuring prevention of nonductile failure for the Sequoyah Unit 2 reactor vessel. [

5, ADJUSTED REFERENCE TEMPERATURE ,

From Regulatory Guide 1,99 Rev. 2 [1] the adjusted reference temperature (ART)

[

for each material in the beltline is given by the following expression:

ART = Initial RTNDT.4 ARTNDT + Margin (3) i

. I Initial RT NDT is the reference temperature for the unirradiated material as defined in paragraph N2331 of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure l Vessel Code. If measured values of initial RT NDT for the material in L question are not available, generic mean values for that class of material may l l

be used if there are sufficient test results to establish a mean and standard ,.

deviation for the class. I t

ARTNDT is the mean value of the adjustment in reference temperature i caused by irradiation and should be calculated as follows: I s

+

.,.-o. ,. ,

. ARTNDT = (CF]f(0.28-0.10 log f) (4) ,

To calculat'e ARTNDT at any depth (e.g., at 1/4T or 3/4T), the following f formula must first be used to attenuate the fluence at the specific depth. i f(depth X)'* Isurface(e'* ) (5) where x (in inches) is the depth into the vessel wall measured from the vessel !

clad / base metal interface. The resultant fluence is then put into equation (4) to calculate ARTNDT at the specific depth.

r t

/ CF (*F) is the chemistry factor, obtained from Reference 1. In addtion, the chemistry factor is also calculated using surveillance capsule data. A sample of this calculation is shown in Table 2. !

. ?

All materials in the beltline region-of Sequoyah Unit 2 were considered for the 5 limiting material. RTNDT at 1/4T and 3/4T are summarized in Table 3. From Table 3, it can be seen that the limiting material is the weld for heatup'and t cooldown curves applicable up to 16 EFPY. A sample calculation for the RTNDT for 16 EFPY is shown in Table 4.

SEQUOYAll NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 - PRESSURIZED THERMAL SHOCK SCREENING CRITERIA

1. PURPOSE The purpose of this calculation is to verify that Sequoyah

' Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 reactor pressuro vessels moot the pressurized thermal shock (PTS) scrooning critoria of 10 CFR 50.61 dated May 15, 1991.

2. INTRODUCTION ,

Pressurized thermal shock events are system transients in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) that can cause savoro overcooling followed by immediate reprosaurization. Internal stressos caused by rapid cooling of the reactor vossol insido rurface combined with the pressure stresses increase the potential for fracturo if an initiating flaw is present in 3ow toughness material. This material may exist in the reactor vossol boltlino, adjacent to the caro, where neutron radiation gradually embrittles the material during operation of the plant. The degran of embrittlement depends upon the chemical composition of the stool, especially the copper and nickel contents. The pressurized thermal shock rule (PTS rulo) outablishes a scrooning cr!.torion which limits the amount of embrittlement of a reactor boltline beyond which the plant cannot operate without justification based on a plant specific analysis.

The toughness of reactor vessel materials is characterized by a ;

reference temperature for nil ductility transition (RTHDT), which !

is determined by destructive tests of material specimens. RTHDT is designated as the hignor of either the drop weight nil- ,

ductility transition temperature (NDTT) or the temperature at which the material exhibits at least 50 ft-lb of impact energy and 35-mil lateral expansion (normal to the major working ,

direction) minus 600 P. I t

The pressurized thermal shock rule, 10 CPR 50.61, adopted May 15, 1991, changes the procedure for establishing the limiting level of embrittlement. This screening critorion is given in terms of RTNDT, but called RT PTS to distinguish it from other ,

proceduras for calculating RTHDT*

2. REFERENCE TEMPERATURE FOR PRES 8URIZED THERMAL SHOCK The pressurized thermal shock (PTS) screening criterion is 2700 F for plates, forgings, and axial weld materials, or 3000 F for circumferential wold materials.
