)
Docket Nos. 50-259 Tennessee Valley Authority )
50-260 50-296 By my letter to you dated September 22, 1983 we submitted a request to change the technical specifications of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (TVA BFNP TS 191). The requested specifications enclosed with-the letter revise the pressure-temperature limit curves for hydrostatic pressure test, reactor vessel heatup and cool down, and nuclear core operation.
The enclosure to this letter provides additional information in support of TS 191 requested by your staff.
The enclosure includes information regarding chemical composition of reactor vessel material, end-of-life neutron fluence, and Charpy impact testing results. Please get in touch with us through the Browns Ferry Project Manager if additional information is needed.
Very truly yours, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY L. M. Mills, Ma ager Nuclear Licensing Subscribed a sworn to beror me this. '/

GEN ER Al @ ELECTRIC Mr.'H._M. Bankus February 9, 1971
'4) Further correspondence with BT,W has failed to obtain any further docu-
- 5) mentation or information beyond that described above. We are continuing to pursue this matter.
- 7) No special handling tools are provided for removal of the surveillance
- 8) specimen holders from the reactor vessel.
The normal pool tool accessori.2 (J-hook, L-hook,. actuating pole, etc.), plus. the in-core detector cutter are sufficient to remove, handle and prepare for shipment.
Shipment is necessary because testing of the' individual specimen requires the services of a radiation-laboratory.
It is left up to each customer to select the laboratory and contract for the particular services they desire.
Shipment is most easily accomplished by separating the specimen basket (intact with capsules containing-the individual specimen) from the sur-veillance holder pole.
This is done with use of the in-core detector cutter.
The basket is deposited in a small lead shipping cask and sent to the laboratory for processing. The remaining pole and handle assembly may be cut up and discarded as rad-waste.
- 9) GE would be willing to provide testing and evaluation service on irradiate
- 10) surveillance samples. Actual contract conditions will have to be negotiated through our Chattanooga office.
- 11) The maximum calculated integrated neutron dose (1 mov) on the vessel wal'.
12 is 3.80 x 1017 NVT.
This exposure is expected to occur at an elevation 13
'three feet above the bottom of the active core at azimuthal positions 14 opposite the corner elements.
The azimuthal positions are approximately 25*, 65*, 115, 155. 205*, 245*, 295 and 335.
The calculated dose on the surveillance baskets at azimuthal locations c
30, 120*, and 200 are equal and equivalent to 8 neutrons 3.07 x 10 or 3.9 x 1017.NVT 2
cm - sec at. rated power for 40 years. These values are based on the same calculati type as the maximum fluence base.
The axial variation is assumed to be proportional to Figure 1.
The above data applies to all three units.
- 15) As stated in NED0-10ll5, Para. 5.7:
"Because the boiling water reactor is a constant-temperature device, no special temperature monitoring devices are required." This has been confirmed by temperature monitot ng devices i
which had been installed in earlier plants.

This analysis was performed to comply with the requirements of Browns Ferry Surveillance i (SI) 4.6.A.4.
nstruction The results of the analysis do not meet the acceptance criteria of the above mentioned 51 Alch states that the experiment determined neutron fluence shall be less than the maximum ae neutron-fluence.
The experimentally-determined neutron fluence for the end of core cycle 1 at the inside diameter of the vessel was 5 64 x I7

Regulatory Guido 1.99 stipulates that the fluence value at (thickness) vessel wall location be used as the basis for d the I/l.T theshiftinRTbOT. Finure I e m n ng f the same document presents a means to determine the shift in RT based on known fluence levels and material ET copper content.
In a letter from A. L. Vest, of General Electric Company, to me datud Decanbar 19, 1977, the curves of Figure I extrapolated downward to allow determination of transition tem were shif ts at.the lower generating flux values for bolling water r perature eactors.

A letter dated February 9,1971, from R. 8. Seers, of GE. to H. M.
cankus, of GE, specifies that the highest NDTT value for unit I reactos vessel beltline region plates is O' F.

. SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE - FINAL RE70RT ON VALL NEUTRON 00SIMETER FROM BROMIS FERRY UtilT 1 PRES test results (longi tudinally-orlanted specimens).
Section 8.1.1. (4) of
' Branch Technical Pcsition HTES 5-2, " Fracture Toughness Requir ements for Older Plants," specifles how to determloe the RTWT c rresponding to the plate material if limited Charpy V notch tests were performed et a single-temperature on specimens oriented in the longitudinal direction It states that if the minimum absorbed energy Is less than !+5 ft/lbs the RT is estimated as 20' F above the test temperature t4DT Therefore, RTHDT - 1 F (test temperature) + 20' F = 30' F.
Since the above value of RT Is greater than 12* F, the end-of-core NDT life adjusted reference tersperatura at the 1/4T position will exceed 100* F.
This dictates a specimen capsule withdrawal schedule conforming to Section ll.C.).b, 10 CFR 50, Appendix H.
SInce the 50* F shift In RT ccurs at approximately the !2 EFPY point, which exceeds thn one-NT fourth servico life value of 10 EFPY, the first specimen capsule removal should occur at the 10 EFPY point.
(Hota that the table on pego 22 of the attached report i s incorrect for this estirmte.)
Note however that the results of the specimen tests are not utilized to prodlet the shift in RTWT, but to vertfy, If needed, Figure 3.6-2 of the Drowns Ferry unit I tc,chnical specifications.
Cnple, of applienble sections of all referenced docunents are att ached.
