MEMORANDUM FOR: R. Mattson, Director, Division of System Safety I
FROM: Victor Stello, Jr., Director, Division of Operating Reactors l
SUBJECT:
OPERATING REACTORS EXPERIENCE MEMORANDA NO. 23, UPDATE PIPE CRACKS IN LARGE DIAMETER BWR PIPING SYSTEMS ,
By memorandum dated March 31, 1978, we advised you of a potentially significant incident of safe end cracking and pipe cracking in a foreign operating reactor. We met with representatives from the foreign country on August 22, 1978 and reviewed the results of the pipe crack investigations. -
We also received copies of four classified reports (confidential) which address this problem. We have concluded, based upon this recent inforTaation, that the occurrence of large diameter piping cracks is noteworthy. Further details are as follows:
- 1. The affected Unit is a dual cycle BWR. The piping involved is nominal 25" 0.0. stainless steel similar to type 304.
- 2. Cracking has been observed in the heat affected zone in the piping and cracking has been found at various locations in the safe ends.
- 3. All cracks originated from the ID and were comparatively shallow (< 5 mm depth in pipe and <10 mm depth in safe j
ends). Some cracks were extensive in length (600.mm in safe ends and 480 mm in pipe).
- 4. The cracks were found by visual examination of the inside surfaces af ter removal of the safe ends with a small -
piece of attached piping.
We are continuing to review this information to assess its signifiance with respect to US operating plants. We will provide copies of the translated documents as soon as they.are available.
