1.0 BACKGROUND

In July 1983, Philadelphia Electric Company (PECo) shut down Peach Bottom Unit 2 to perform a mid-cycle examination of recirculation and RHR shutdown cooling system piping welds.

Indications of Intergranelar Stress Corrosion Cracking were detected at 26 weld locations, and fracture mechanics analyses indicated that 21 locations required weld overlay repair. Subsequently, a decision was made to replace the recirculation, RHR shutdown cooling, RHR head spray, and ,

portions of the reactor water cleanup (RWCU) piping during the next refuel outage. While weld overlay and final inspections were underway, PECo selected General Electric Company - (GECo) to design and procure the recirculation system piping and act as technical advisor for the installation; Bechtel Power Corporation was selected to design and procure the replacement RHR and RWCU piping; Chicago Bridge and Iron Company (CB&I) was selected as the installer. This outage was also used by GECo and CB&I to perform drywell surveys which form the basis of the ALARA program. CB&I used the surveys to identify interferences and to plan the removal and installation sequences.

2.0 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND CONTROL 2.1 ALARA Procedures and Work Instructions .

Because replacement of recirculation RHR and RWCU i system piping will involve collective radiation exposure beyond that experienced by PECo plant workers in other routine maintenance work, CB&I will implement ALARA Program Instructions (API) and controls for this piping replacement project. Key elements of the administrative' portion of the program include t

API #1 " General Program Instruction for Maintaining occupational Exposure to Radiation As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)". This instruction specifies the parameters to be evaluated in the selection of methods, processes and techniques to be utilized.. Administrative controls regarding pre-I planning meetings and post-task ALARA review as well as the responsibilities of the CB&I ALARA >

l Administrator and CB&I Radiological Engineers are i specified. Administrative instructions in the following areas are also contained in API #1.

In order to establish a systematic review of possible mitigating measures to be used to maintain personnel exposures ALARA, General Electric prepared a

. procedure entitled, " Procedure for Evaluating and Documenting Potential ALARA Mitigating Actions for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station - Unit 2" . A copy of this procedure is included as Attachment 3. This procedure specifies the parameters to be evaluated for implementation of a mitigating measure. An ALARA checklist is generated which requires acceptance-by

implementation.

These elements, combined with PECo's existing ALARA procedures such as detailed pre-work planning, radiation work permits and the authority to stop any work which is not consistent with the ALARA goals, will ensure an effective ALARA program for the piping replacement program. In addition, PECo is planning to decontaminate the piping prior to its removal and normal maintenance tasks during the refueling outage.

Removal of the decontaminated pipe will further reduce the radiation exposure of personnel performing normal maintenance associated with the refueling outage.

2.2 ALARA,Groug, Authority,and Control of Work' In accordance with paragraph 4.1 of Peach Bottom Station Procedure A-83, "ALARA Program Administrative Procedure", the Station support Health Physicist (ALARA coordinator) has designated to the CB&I Radiological Engineers, the responsibility for ALARA during the Unit 2 Recirculation and RHR piping replacement program.

All work planned to be performed in radiologically controlled areas shall be reviewed for ALARA considerations to minimize personnel exposure, the spread of contamination, and to prevent releases to the environment. The CB&I ALARA review requirements are as follows:

I 1. A preliminary ALARA review of draft work instructions is conducted by CB&I Radiological l

Page 12 3.1 Improved _ Design _of,Reglacement_ Piping The replacement piping has been designed to minimize the number and complexity of shop and field welds.

This has been accomplished by the use of such features as long tangent elbows, induction bent risers, the use of forged fittings, the elimination of the header cross tie and valves and the pump discharge bypass valve connections, and extensive study of drywell interferences and rigging paths to optimize pipe spooling. As a result of this design ,

effort, there are approximately forty-eight less wolds requiring In-Service Inspection (ISI) in the replacement recirculation and RHR system piping than in the original piping. Welds have been designed to provide access for increased use of remote automatic welding and ISI equipment even though the access for installing the piping is much more restrictive than when the original piping was installed in an essentially empty drywell. It is planned to polish the replacement piping on the inside surface to minimize radialton buildup. Crud traps have been minimized by eliminating the header end caps, the header cross tie and valves, and the pump discharge bypass valve connections.

In summary, ALARA considerations have been an integral part of the design of the replacement piping and components, and this will result in a significant reduction, relative to the original design, in the man-rem exposure for piping replacement, for future in-service inspections of the recirculation system piping and other activities in the drywell.

3.2 Mitigating,Meagures_to, Maintain, Personnel _gxposures

^ESBS To reduce occupational exposure to those involved with the drywell piping modifications and other concurrent maintenance tasks, the following measures will be taken in the drywell and reactor pressure vessel.

O

. . o Page 13 3.2.1 Cgre, Removal Prior to initiation of work, the entire core will be off-loaded and stored in the fuel racks in the fuel pool.

3.2.2 Primary, Coolant, Radioactivity, Reductions After core off-load, the reactor water clean-up system will be operated to reduce, to the extent .

practical, the bulk reactor water activity level.

3.2.3 02timally Positioned Control Blades All control blades will remain in the vessel during the piping replacement. Control blade placement is based on General Electric experience and studies of in-vessel surveys. The control blades will be placed in the fully inserted position, the optimum position for work in and around the nozzles.

3.2.4 Vessel, Flooding Water in the annulus and inside the shroud serves as an effective shield for radiation emanating from the vessel internals. Water in the annulus is an especially efficient shield for the shroud, core plate, and peripheral control rods. Optimum water level.in the annulus and inside the shroud is the top of the shroud. Utilization of jet pump slip joint plugs will allow flooding of the annulus to the .evel of the jet pump nozzles and flooding the shroud to the top of the shroud, while work is performed on the N-2 nozzles. Use of the slip joint plugs will also allow work to be performed on the N-1 nozzle with the annulus empty and water inside the shroud to the top of the shroud, because the slip joint plugs break the hydraulic connection between the annulus and the shroud.

3.2.5 Shielding Shielding considerations have been broken down into various segments as follows:

e-__--_-_-__--_-__-____-___-__

Pcgo 14 Inside the biological shield doors, outside the recirculation suction (N1) and recirculation discharge (N2) nozzles Inside the N1 and N2 nozzles Shielding of recirculation suction and discharge valves and pumps Shielding of drywell hot spots In-Vessel Shielding The area inside the biological shield doors around

. the N1 and N2 nozzles will be shielded utilizing .

" soft" lead brick designed by Nuclear Power Outfitters (NPO) . This method of shielding is a configuration of materials and construction that has the flexibility to mold into irregular shapes. A 5

stainless steel watertight container will be used to contain the soft brick.

The inside of the N1 nozzles will be shielded also using the " soft" lead bricks designed by NPO. A stainless stael watertight container will be utilized to contain the " soft" lead brick in the nozzles.

The inside of the N2 nozzles will be shielded using

  • 1ead discs. This method of shielding requires the use of a stainless steel container placed inside the N2 nozzles. The lead discs, which are 0.50 inch thick, are cut to the inside diameter of the container and will be stacked to achieve the desired shielding factor.

Actual amounts of shielding required for the recirculation system valves and pumps will be determined from post decontamination surveys. Three types of shielding used in conjunction with each other will be utilized to reduce the general area dose and the dose for individuals working on these components. The types of shielding to be used are

" soft" lead brick, lead blanket belly wraps and lead containment structures.

Shielding of known drywell hotspots will be accomplished using Peach Bottom's supply of lead sheets. Other methods of shielding hotspots will evaluated following decontamination if drywell <

surveys reveal additional hotspots requiriag shielding.

Pego 15 In-vessel shielding is being used to minimize exposure during piping decontamination removal and new pipe installation. Lead shield curtain walls will be used inside the vessel annulus behind the N1 nozzle. Three lead blanket slab shields 2' x 6' x 4" will be placed in a bracket adjacent to each other, forming a blanket, 6' x 6' x 4", which completely covers the nozzle. Two additional lead blanket slab '

l shields will be placed over the cracks between the slabs to effectively prevent streaming between the ,

The ostimated overall radiation exposure is expected to the less than 2000 man-rom. This estimato was prepared based on the estimated manhours for 370 individual taska and an estimated exposure loval for each of these tsuks. The ALARA aspects of the work have been reviewed and will continue to be reviewed as thn work progresses. For example, a review of the 370 tasks have identified 27 tasks encompassing approximately ten percent of the estimated exposure manhouru but more than 50 percent of the radiation expouuro. Mitigating measuron applied to those tanks are expected to provido nignittaant exposuro navingo during the implementation of the work.
