- INTRODUCTION l Alabama Power Company contracted with Westhighouse Electric Corporation to develop a leak before break analysis for the Farley Units 1 and 2 pressurizer surge lines. The leak.
before break analysis is documented in Westinghouse Proprietary Class 7. Report WCAP.
12835 (Reference 1.1). WCAP 12834 is the associated Westinghouse Class 3 report. During !
the regulatory review process the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Request for AdditionalInformatica concerning the pressurizer surge line leak before break analysis for Joseph M. Farley nuclear plant Units 1 and 2 (Appendix A). This report addresses the NRC requests.

RESPONSE TO TiiE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMNilON Recuest I CriticaLElaw sire Predicti.on 1.1 Provide the pressure for each of the fifteen limit moment flaw length curves shown in Figures 5 6 to 5 21. Based on the data supplied, the staff is unable to reproduce these curves.
)
1.2 Provide numerical values for all parameters appearing in Eq. (51) and (5 2) for generating the curve shown in Figure 5 6.
1.3 Provide the temperature range at the critical pipe location for each case shown in Figures 5 6 to 5 21. Justify the use of yield and ultimate stresses corresponding to the temperature closer to the low end of the temperature range for some cases ,
(especially those related to Cases F and G).
Resoonse:

Figure 519 P = 2250 psi Figure 5 20 P = 440 psi Figure 5 21 P = 440 psi r ,
Note that the total applied axial force = n R2,P + force from other loading conditions. The total applied axial force is provided in each of the Figures 5 6 ;
through 5 21.
1.2 A step by step procedure for generating Figure 5 6 is given below. The equations 51 and 5 2 are as follows: -
(51)
_ac.e (52)
Numerical values for all the parameters are provided below. Note that Ma is the dependent variable while a (semi crack angle) is the independent variable. # is an interim derived quantity.
Or = 51.825 ksi R,,, = 6.3745 in t = 1.251 in
- P = 2250 psi
- F = 26.13 kips R, = 5.749 in
)
These parameters should be amplified by the Z factor for the associated weld.
(n R,2 P + F) = Total applied axial force = 259.753 kips WPF0646/000391:10 22
Since the weld associated withFigure 5 6 is an SMAW weld, the corresponding Z
, factor is found to be 1.30. For various postulated crack lengths, the allowable moments Ma are calculated using equations 51 and 5 2 as shown below, l

- a,c.e The applied bending moment at location 2203 for case D is 2577 in kips. Thus Z x
, (M,ppi,a) = 3350 in kips. The critical flaw size is found to be 13,16 by interpolating between the moment for 12.51 in and 13.761 in. The above results when plotted yield Figure 5 6.
1.3 The temperatures associated with Figures 5-6 through 5 21 are provided below, in addition, justification for the temperatures associated with the applicable cases is also provided below:

. 2.1 Provide an assessment of the accuracy of the calculated pressure drop AP:, for choked flow based on Fauske's method.
Resnonse:
The basic premise pertaining to the leak rate calculations as applied to the leak before.
break evaluations is to obtain realistic estimates of leak rates through postulated through ,
wall cracks and then apply a factor of 10 between the calculated leak rate and the leak ,
detection capability of the plant.

)..a Reauest 3 Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis !
3.1 The da/dn equation ured in Westinghouse report WCAP.12835, submitted by your April 26,1991 letter, is as follows: '
da/dn = 2.42 x 10 40 SAK" <
Where S = 1.0 for R = 0; S = 1 + 1.8R for 0 < R <.8; and S =.43.35 + 57.97R for R >.8.
The parameter R is defined as: R = imK ,n/Kim ,,
. A different fctigue crack growth formula for stainless steel is given in Westinghouse report WCAP.12825, " Technical Justification for Eliminating Large Primary Loop Pipe Rupture as the Structural Design Basis for the Joseph M. Farley Units 1 and _ ,
2 Nuclear Power Plants."- WCAP 12825 was submitted by your letter dated January 28,1991. In WCAP.i2825, the equation takes the following form:
d da/dn = 5.4 x10-in g ,4
.- where K,y = Km ,, (1.R) "
R = Km,,,/Km,,
T WPF0646/090391:10 %
l Explain your rationale in selecting the former equation as opposed to the latter one
.- in the current fatigue crack analysis. If the latter one was used instead, what will the results be?
Resoonse:
s The fatigue crack growth analysis of the pressurizer surge line was performed using the latest fatigue crcck growth law for stainless steels which became available in 1989 (Reference 3.1). Specifically, the following eqiiation for stainless steel fatigue crack i growth law represents the latest ASME Section XI recommendation and is l appropriate for the detailed fatigue crack growth analysis of the surge :,ne reported !
in WCAP 12835 submitted on April 26,1991.

Detailed FCG analysk of the pressurizer surge line was performed and documented in WCAP 12835 using the fatigue crack growth law of Reference 3.1. For current applications it is appropriate to use this law since it represents the latest information and conforms to the recommendation of AShiE section XI.

Critical Flaw Size Prediction 1.1 Provide the pressure for each of the fifteen limit moment-tlaw 1:ngth curves shown in Figures 5-6 to 5 21. Based on the data supplied, the staff !s unable to reproduce these curves.
1.2 Provide numerical values for all parameters appearing in Eq. (51) and (5 2) for generating the curve shown in Figure 5 6, 1.3 Provide the temperature range at the critical pipe location for each case shown in 3 Figures 5 6 to 5 21. Justify the use of yield and ultimate stresses corresponding to the temperature closer to the low end of the temperature range for some cases (especially those related to Cases F and 9.
Leak Rate Calculation 2.1 Provide an assessment of the accuracy of the calculated pressure drop AP:, for choked flow based on Fauske's method.
Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis 3.1 The da/dn equation used in Westinghouse report WCAP 12835, submitted by your April 26,1991, letter, is as follows:
da/dn = 2.42 x 10' SAK 33 Where S = 1.0 for R = 0; S = 1 + 1.8R for 0 < R c .8; and S = 43.35 + 57.97R for R >.8.
The parameter R is defined as: R=K,ma,/K,,,,,

A different fatigue crack growth formula for stainless steel is given in Westinghouse
, report WCAP 12825, ' Technical Justification for Eliminating Large Primary leop Pipe Rupture as the Structural Design Basis for the Joseph M. Farley Units 1 and 2 Nuclear Power Plants." WCAP 12825 was submitted by your letter dated January 28, 1991.- In WCAP 12825, the equation takes the following form:
i da/dn = 5.4x10'" Ajj'
- where Ke rt " Km,, (1 R) 3 R = K,io/Km,,
Explain your rationale in selecting the former equations as opposed to the latter one '
in the current fut.igue crack analysis. If the latter one was used instead, what will the
, results be?
