Secondary inspections in Accordance with AWS D1.1-75 and Subsequent Issues
Reference:
Daniel International Corporation Inquiry Dated February 13, 1985
Dear Mr. Berra:
+
This is in response to your inquiry concerning secondary inspections In accordance with AWS D1.1-75 and subsequent issues. INQUIRY 1: Does AWS 01.1 address secondary Inspections over f the life of the structure? ' ( INQUlRY 2: If AWS D1.1 does not address such secondary In-
-) spections, what parties are recomended to develop-parameters for such inspections. .
REPLY 1: No. Inspection (secondary inspection) of welded joints that have been accepted after fabrication or ere.ction, or both, is not covered by AWS D1.1. REPLY 2: Inspection (secondary inspectioh) of accepted welds ^ subsequeht to the fabrication and erectron ls not covered by Code provisions and such inspections and criterla for acceptance would have to be as agreed upon by the owner or the Engineer (the owner's representative) and the contractor. We trust this answers your questions regarding this matter. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincere.ly yours,

[ structural steel joints that were inaccessible during the
, reinspection program at Wolf Creek Generating Station.
The Architect / Engineer's (A/E) program for evaluating inaccessible joints was included in Appendix VI.D of the report trancmitted by References 1 and 2. As discunsed in the report there were 119 joints that were identified as totally imaalble and 165 joints with see portions of the welds in = =aible. Of the 119 totally 1-alble joints, 62 were l t evaluated on a case by case bases, typically using^ alternate load paths (i.e. the beam is enbedded in a concrete wall which is capable of suIporting the design load in the cocpleted structure). Of the 165 joints with some portions of the welds i m aalble, sufficient information was available on 139 of these joints to enable a case by case evaluation to be performed. Therefore, a total of 83 joints out of a total of 2670 joints (accessible and imible) were identified in which a case by case evaluation of the welds could not be determined. In addition to the information presented in References 1 and 2 ! concerning the acceptability of these 83 inaccessible joints, l KG&E in conjunction with the A/E and the Constructor have l reviewed the design margins and weld details for the joints to ' provide an added level of assurance that the joints meet design
. requirements. The attachment provides the design margins for these joints.

Mr. R.P. Denise February 15, 1985 KMUmC 85-057 In order to provioe assurance that the weld details were clear and would not have been misinterpreted in a manner that could result in a structurally inadequate joint, a review of each of the weld details for the 83 joints was performed. 'Ihis was generally acconplished by having a welder and an inspector annotate on a drawing where welds should be located. This was then reviewed by the A/E to determine whether the welder's and inspector's interpretation of the weld detail was satisfactory. The results of the A/E's review concluded that the joints would have met the requirements as interpreted by the welder / inspector. As a result of this information and the information included in References 1 and 2, KG&E concludes that adequate assurance has been provided to denonstrate coupliance of the 83 joints to the design requirements.

Dear Mr. Bailey:
RE: Evaluation of Structural Steel Welding at Wolf Creek - CER Yo,. 1.1 At your request I have reviewed the approach developed by M anm tmg r *M by Bechtel and DIC to evaluate welds on safety related s::: enil a, tali att the Wolf Creek Generating Station. This review has concentatett am M"5 hil report on corrective action request (CAR) number 19 (1)* amd A -T- CD) through (6).
- My evaluation of the aporoach developed by KG&E was f ar ccamenmence 'inxteed into the following areas:
- 1) Impact on FSAR Commitment
- 2) Impact an Structural Integrity Some specific comments arising out of my review, and rela:ing to; these a,ress are su- seized below:
Impact on the FSAR Commitment In view of the FSAR commitment by KG&E to work to the requierm=:s. of AWS 32.1-75 incorporating (2), (3) and (5), it is entirely appropruce for M .ns c5:er to developareverification inspection program to provide aissarsace char :he provisions of AWS Dl.1 75 are met and to generate the dotwner:2 tham 22 n:pport that position. In addition, your review of related actirit:es .rmd Me r== trol has shown that this is not a generic problem but is confisch *a the stemctnn'. steel work, w-!ded to AWS D1.1 and ce"- ed k; 9" " h:L::=ml atee. .... records. These related activities include:
- 1) Assurance that all welders and welding procedures wer quahfied to AWS D1.1.
- 2) Determination that only acceptable filler metaI! (L, :lis enne CTIS) was used.

- 3) Evaluation of DIC inspection criteria.
- 4) Validatien of inspections performed with paint on the weld.
- 5) Qualification and training for reinspection personnel.
All of these contribute to the conclusion that poor original documentation ~ procedures do not lead to poor welds. This was also confirmed by my examination of eclevant welds in the ' Auxiliary Building and the Reactor Building. I was able to examine both painted and unpainted welds and in all cases .the welds appear to be good with a generally uniform appearance, , indicative of skilled craf ts people. With regard to the ability to reinspect weld: after painting, I have alreacy stated that this is the proper approach for KC.2 to pursue for the following reasons: , The discontinuities that are being examined for (i.e porosity, lack of fusion, etc.) are rather gross imperfections and are readily detected by visual examination. A coating of a few mils thick would not obscure imperfections in the size ranges of 1/16 to 1/8 inch. Even these imperfection sizes are small comoared to the size that ( would compromise structural integrity. Carbon manganese steel welded with E7018 weld rod is probably one of the easiest combinations to produce high quality welds. Carbon i Manganese steels are readily weldable and do not harden significantly with welding thermal cycles as would alloy steels. With proper rod control (which is demonstrated in your review) the likelihood of weld cracking is low. This is confirmed by the results of the inspection of the uncoated steel in which few cracks and lack of fusion ipper-fections were discovered. The detection of size variances (either over or under) will not be impacted by the presence of paint or coatings. Missing weld elements would be rather obvious 'even where coatings are present. I understand frem discussions with KG&E that USNRC Region 1 made a site visit and performed a sampling inspection on more than 60 relevant joints. This inspection included examination by UT and MT. before and after etint removal and the results were positive. These data should be requested from Region 1 and
,. used to support your position.
In view of the_ fact that we are now using twenty:- twenty hindsight and are sensitized to the need to perform detailed inspections the defect rates are relatively low in those categories of attributes that +ere classed as defects (about 3% on a joint basis which would be much less on a tc*.al weld basis). i
y J. A. Batley Page 3 2-17-85 Normal reinspection detection rates come in at around 2% on a vei: $1 sis - 'Je recently performed a review of previously accepted welds in Class : 7:7 ng and established a reinspection call rate at about 1%. The focus of your program on structurally significant details das ena21ed you to evaluate those situations that are most important. It is w:rt engt2siztag that the extent of CAR No. 19 is limited to about 21% of these arr:c:: 21 details. The other details are either shop welded or bolted. I' believe that with your re-examination program, the related aztert:Les referred to earlier and the confirmation that examination under pmza: is effective, you have met the extent of (4) and complied with yotr caanttment in (7). Structural Integrity Since we have concluded that defective paper work does not necessar:ly esdicate a defective weld, the real question is, "What is the impact on struc:1:21 integrity of the imperfections discovered in the reinspection?'. Bechtel has evaluated those situations where the stresses coulf esceed tie design stress because of geometry indications (missing welds, lacie:r:2e,
- underrun) and in all cases the calculated stress are less than 16ese char souid be required to fail a weld (i.~e. the weld capacities are in~ no var 2gprsached under the design loads). I~ concur with Bechtel's approach, but unrid psist out that it is conservative (i.e. greater margins will be available := thet ctual joint than indicated by the Bechtel analysis). ' The first factor contributing to the conservatism is that for the grneening allowable stresses, the specified minimum properties are used wherr2s actual properties of 'as deposited welds will usually run 20-25% higher : 2 22 tbd specified minimums. This means that based on actual propertie3 dar:at:ces f ecm allowable stresses at up to 20-25% would not violate design cra:e:11 hused on actual properties. .
The second factor relates to the consequences of exceeding the lesign allowable l stress in one weld, or for that matter all welds, in a conne'ctaem diat' cantains several. welds as:many of these joints do. There. are of course anne. En the joint one weld may be overstressed, however,- the structural inter:::y d the ! joint 'is not impaired at all.. It is important to' re-emphasize tins facct. The inteerity of a structural-detail is not affected by the incerfec ices uetecteu in tne retnspection program. If - this was more genera 0Ep -recer l "-d. we would be f aced with f ar. fewer reverification exercises in ruclear dacilities. A further fact that contributes'to the cons 'eevatism in the .

J. A. Bailey
, Page 4 2-17-85 A question may arise about the integrity of those welds that .tre:
- 1) uninspectable (because of access) and
- 2) could not be ' evaluated for alternate load paths There are 83 joints in this category and the approach chosen hv Becntet is ta demonstrate that the expectation ts that in only one jotnt would the destan-stress be exceeded. This is derived from the frequency of those structural joints that exceed the design stress. Remembering, as noted above, that small amounts of undersize are attributed to the complete weld it may be instructive to consider this on a weld basis.
Assuming an average number of welds per joint of 4 and the same likithood af exceeding the' design stress in a weld as in a joint. the following table ' provides the prooability that 1, 2, 3 and 4 welds would exceed the dest;n stress:

- S " F e b t ':2.r . ... 1993 Mr. John A. Bailey Wolf Creek Generating Station Kansas Cas and Electric Company P. O. Box 309 Burlington, Kansas 66839 Re: Visual Inspection of Painted Fillet Welds
Dear Mr. Bailey:
Dr. Fisher and I have reviewed the paper prepared bv Hec::rel hr Corporation regarding their position on the " Visual Inspec: ten of Painted Fillet Welds". Dr. Yen of our staf f has also reviewed this md' provties coc=ents on the paper. We.all agree that the important cl-terts: .:s: of the welds can be evaluated with the paint thickness of M ::L1 (c)) En the members. The evaluation must be cade on the basis that certain ;;t bhms that could occur in welding can be ruled out because they do nat estst or are not important for the type of welds and eaterials trzcIvef. 4 are concerned only about inspection items that might reduce the strecq _, of connections. Tests made on welds from the Hope Creek Flatrc (IFrt: 2 Engineering Laboratory Report 200.81.240.3) revealed that evert very Iarge a=ounts of porosity in the welds reduced the strength of cannee.tions 17 only a small amount. Large porosity of the type present in weli::s from the Hope Creek Plant could be detected through paint. Fine per:steJ of a size that could not be observed through paint is of no importatz:e is eva2=ating the strength of these connections. We feel confident that the inspection results to date demons.trate that the quality of welding on the buildings was more char, aleg: ara is provide the strength required in the building connections. If ::hure are inspection items such as fine porosity, minor undercutting o7 crack h r in selds produced by joint restraint that can not be deteccet th:2ngts gai=:, these items are not apt to reduce the strength of conneettcms suffhhtly to be of concern. The redundancy in the completed struct:u a fa al'sw avail-able to provide alternate load paths if necessary in the avant tha:t a connection of lower than expected strength exists. Si cere .

Subject:
Secondary inspection in Accordance with AWS 01.1-75 and Subsequent issues
Dear Sir:
Daniel International recognizes that AWS 01.1-75 and subsequent re-visions require that " welded joints shall not be painted 'until af ter the work has been completed and accepted" (3.10.1) . Further, i t is i our understanding that 01.1 is applicable to inspections performed during the fabrication and erection process and does not address sub-sequent, secondary inspections over the life of the structure. There-fore, when it is desired to perform secondary inspections of structures, (- It is necessary to develop inspection procedures, and results evalua-tion criteria specific to that structure. in light of the above, we submit the following inquiries:
- 1. Does AWS 01.1 address secondary inspections over the life of the structure?
- 2. If AWS 01.1 does not address such secondary inspections, what parties are recomended to develop parameters for such inspections?

Secondary inspections in Accordance wi th AWS 01.1-75 and Subsequent issues
Reference:
Daniel International Corporation Inquiry Dated February 13, 1985
Dear Mr. Berra:
This is in response to your inquiry concerning secondary in=ameni: ens- im accordance with AWS 01.1-75 and subsequent issues. INQUIRY 1: Does AWS 01.1 address secondary inspections ouem the life of the structure? INQUIRY 2: If AWS 01.1 does not address such secondary Irv-( spections, what parties are recommended to deneP<=z
, parameters for such inspections.
REPLY 1: No, inspection (secondary inspection) of we16ed joints that have been accepted af ter fabricatice or erection, or both, is not covered by AWS Cf.U. REPLY 2: Inspection (secondary inspection) of acceptee welfs subsequent to the fabrication and erecti'on is met covered by Code provisions and such inspections and criteria for acceptance would have to be as agreed upon by the owner or the Engineer (the sweer s. a representative) and the contractor. We trust this answers your questions regarding this matter. S&e=Fd yem have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely yours,
