l REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM i

l BASES 3/4.4.5 STEAM GENERATORS The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes 1

ensure that the structural integrity of this portion of the RCS will be maintained.

The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision 1.

Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain i

surveillance of the conditions of the tubes in the event that there is evidence of mechanical damage or progressive degradation due to design, manufacturing l

errors, or inservice conditions that lead to corrosion.

Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature

)

and cause of any tube degradation so that corrective measures can be taken.

The plant is expected to be operated in a manner such that the secondary i

coolant will be maintained within those chemistry limits found to result in i

negligible corrosion of the steam generator tubes.

If tne secvua.uy wvul.uu chemistry is not maintained within these limits, localized corrosion may likely result in stress corrosion cracking. The extent of cracking during plant operation would be limited by the limitation of steam generator tube leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-secondary leakage - 150 gallons per day per steam generator). Cracks having l

a primary-to-secondary leakage less than this limit during operation will have an adequate margin of safety to withstand the loads imposed during normal operation and by postulated accidents.

Sequoyah has demonstrated that primary-to-secondary leakage of 150 gallons per day per steam generator can readily be l

detected by radiation monitors of steam generator blowdown or condenser off-gas.

Leakage in excess of this limit will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be located and plugged.

The voltage-based repair limitP of SR 4.4.5 implement the guidance in GL 95-05 and are applicable only to Westinghouse-designed steam generators (S/Gs) with outside diameter stress corrosion cracking (ODSCC) located at the l

tube-to-tube support plate intersections. The voltage-based repair limits are not applicable to other forms of S/G tube degradation nor are they applicable to ODSCC that occurs at other locations within the S/G. Additionally, the repair criteria apply only to indications where the degradation mechanism is dominantly axial ODSCC with no significant cracks extending outside the thickness of the support plate.

Refer to GL 95-05 for additiona) lescription of the degradation morphology.

Implementation of SR 4.4.5 requires a derivation of the voltage structural limit from the burst versus voltage empirical correlation and then the subsequent derivation of the voltage repair limit from the structural limit l

(which is then implemented by this surveillance).

The voltage structural limit is the voltage from the burst pressure / bobbin voltage correlation, at the 95 percent prediction interval curve reduced to account for the lower 95/95 percent tolerance bound for tubing material properties at 650*F (i.e.,

the 95 percent LTL curve). The voltage structural limit must be adjusted downward to account for potential flaw growth l

during an operating interval and to account for NDE uncertainty.

The upper voltage repair limit; v is determined from the structural voltage limit by un, applying the following equation:

i V

= Vst *Va -V gg c

l EEACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES where Vca represents the allowance for flaw growth between inspections and V ms represents the allowance for potential sources of error in the measurement of the bobbin coil voltage.

Further discussion of the aebumptions necessary to determine the voltage repair limit are discussed in GL 95-05.

l The mid-cycle equation of SR 4.4.5.4.a.10.e should only be used during unplanned inspection in which eddy cureent data is acquired for indicatione at the tube support plates.

SR 4.4.5.5 implements several reporting requirements recommended by GL 95-05 for situations which NRC wants to be notified prior to returning the l

S/Gs to service.

For SR 4.4.5.5.d.,

Items 3 and 4, indications are applicable only where alternate plugging criteria is being applied.

For the purposes of this reporting requirement, leakage and conditional burst probability can be l

calculated based on the as-found voltage distribution rather than the projected end-of-cycle voltage distribution (refer to GL 95-05 for more it. formation) when

)

it is not practical to complete these calculations using the projected EOC voltage distributions prior to returning the S/Gs to service. Note that if leakage and conditional burst probability were calculated using the measureo EOC voltage distribution for the purposes of addressing GL Sections 6.a.1 and

)

6.a.3 reporting criteria, then the results of the projected EOC voltage distribution should be provided per GL Section 6.b(c) criteria.

I Wastage-type defects are unlikely with proper chemistry treatment of the secondary coolant.

However, even if a defect should develop in service, it will be found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations.

Plugging will be required for all tubes with imperfections exceeding the repair l

limit defined in Surveillance Requirement 4.4.5.4.a.

The portion of the tube

{

that the plugging limit does not apply to is the portion of the tube that is R181 not within the RCS pressure boundary (tube end up to the start of the tube-to-i tubesheet weld).

The tube end to tube-to-tubesheet weld portion of the tube does not affect structural integrity of the steam generator tubes and therefore indications found in this portion of the tube will be excluded from the Result and Action Required for tube inspections.

It is expected that any indications that extend from this region will be detected during the scheduled tube inspections.

Steam generator tube inspections of operating plants have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that has penetrated 20% of the original tube wall thickness, Tubes experiencing outside diameter stress corrosion cracking within the i

l thickness of the tube support plate are plugged or repaired by the criteria of l

4.4.5.4.a.10.

Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inservice inspection fall into Category C-3, these results will be promptly reported to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.6.1 prior to resumption of plant j

operation.

Such cases will be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case i

basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, l

tests, additional eddy-current inspection, and revision of the Technical l

Specifications, if necessary.

j' REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES f

3/4.4.6 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE 3/4.4.6.1 LEAKAGE DETFCTION SYSTEMS The RCS legkage detection systems required by this specification are provided to monitor and detect leakage from the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary. These detection systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.45, " Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection Systems," May 1973.

3/4.4.6.2 OPERATIONAL LEAEAGE l

Industry experience has shown that while a limited amount of leakage is expected from the RCS, the unidentified portion of this leakage can be reduced to a threshold value of less than 1 GPM.

This threshold valus is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of additional leakage.

The surveillance requirements for RCS Pressure Isolation Valves provide

{

added assurances of valve integrity thereby reducing the probability of gross 1

3 valve failure and consequent intersystem LOCA.

Leakage from the RCS isolation j

valves is IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and will be considered as a portion of the allowed limit.

1 The 10 GPM IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limitation provides allowance for a limited amount of leakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere with the detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the leakage detection systems.

The CONTROLLED LEAKAGE limitation restricts operation when the total flow supplied to the reactor coolant pump seals exceeds 40 GPM with the modulating i

valve in the supply line fully open at a nominal RCS preasure of 2235 psig.

This limitation ensures that in the event of a LOCA, the safety injection flow I

will not be less than assumed in the accident analyses.

The total steam generator tube leakage limit of 600 gallons per day for all steam generators and 150 gallons per day for any one steam generator will minimize the potential for a significant leakage event during steam line' break.

Based on the NDE uncertainties, bobbin coil voltage distribution and crack 1

growth rate from the previous inspection, the expected leak rate following a steam line rupture is limited to below 3.7 gpm in the faulted loop, which will i

limit the calculated offsite doses to within 10 percent of the 10 CFR 100 guidelines.

If the projected and cycle distribution of crack indications results in primary-to-secondary leakage greater than 3.7 gpm in the faulted loop during a postulated steam line break event, additional tubes must be removed from service in order to reduce the postulated primary-to-secondary steam line break leakage to below 3.7 gpm.

j PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE of any magnitude is unacceptable since it may be indicative of an impending gross failure of the pressure boundary.

Therefore, the presence of any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE requires the unit to j

be promptly placed in COLD SHUTDOWN.
