SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION OF FRAMATOME TOCHNOLOGIES, INC. (INSPECTION REPORT NO.: 990J1300/97-01)
Dear Mr. Kane.
his letter forwards the report of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)inspeciie i of Framatome Technologies, Inc. (FTI), conducted May 19-21,19')7, af, your Lynchburg, Virginia, Engineering Facility, and with further reviews conducted through September 1997, by Mr.
F.ephen Alexander of this office end by Mr. Barry Elliot, Ms. Meena Khanna, Ms. Andrea Lee, ano Mr. Ken Karwoski of the Materials and Chemica! Engineering Branch; Division of Engineering; Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
The primary purposes of tho inspection were to (1) determine the availability and traceability of all of the data at FTl regarding the copper and nickel content of submerged-arc welds involving cartain heats of weld material used in the fabrication of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) by Babcock & Wilcox, Inc.(B&W) for domestic nudear power plants, (2) evaluate the consistency between FTI's B&W vessel fabrication records and topical repwis BAW-1500 and BAW-2121P submitted to the NRC, and (3) establish whether the weld matorial chemistry data in licensees' responses to NRC Generic Letter 92-01, Revision 1. and its Supplerrat 1, bound all available data. The NP^ needed this information in order to validate the chemistry factor values in the NRC's Reactor Vessel Integrity Database (RVID) :;nd ensure that those values, reported by NRC licensees, based on information provided to them originally b B&W, collected in reactor vessel matend surveillance programs and used in the developmeat of plant operating limits, are still conservative when all valid, traceable data are considered. The inspectors also evaluated the effect on chemistry factors of copper and nickel cc.ntent data not included in the l/
information originally published by B&W (Owners Group) in in reports BAW-1500 and BAW-2121P because B&W either was not able to establish its heat and/or . veld traceability or considered the data suspect for one or more technical reasons.
With recpect to the copper and nickel data, the inspectors identified some discrepancies, but ultimately determined that the RVID data vere still conservative in most cases becauso either the licensee's copper and nickel data were conservative relative to FTI's raw data or that when inn isd in the calculations, the formeny unconsic:ared FTl data had e r,agtigible affect. The few aceptions, including, especially, one lew-copper weld wire neat have been reported to licensees so that they can assess the impact of the new informatina The d tus ithe 0
inspectors' findings are in the enclosed inspection report.

1 INSPECTION J ,MMARY j
On May 19-21,1997, the NRC conducted an inspection at the Lynchburg, Virginia, engineering facilities of Framatome Technologies, Inc. (FTI), to review information related to the fabrication by Babcock & W'cox Company (B&W) of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) for domestic nuclear power plants. GW Nuclear Technologies, who maintained this information, was purchased by the Framatome Technologies Group (FTG) and became FTG's affiliated company, FTI. The inspectors found some discrepancies and learned tha' there were some data that had not been reported in C&W 'opical reports. The inspectors identified the need for additional information from FTl that was provided in separate letters to the NRC subsequent to the onsite portion of the inspection. After completing their review of the inspection data and subsequent vendor submittals, the inspectors 'nere able to detc mi ec that even when taking previously unreported data into account, most of the chemictry factors in the NRC's Reactor Vessel Integrity Database are still conservative. Licensees have been notified of the few cases involving low-copper weld wire heats in which inclusion of additional data could affect chemistry factors. They are expected to assess the impact of the additional data and take appropriate action in accordance with applicat,le regulations.
With regard to FTI's program for compliance with 10 CFR Part 21, the inspectors found that FTI's procedures adopted pursuant to 10 CFR 21.21(a) had some deficiencies that amounted to a minor violation. The inspector also reviewed FTl records relating to 10 CFR Part 21 evaluations and found one instance in wnich FTl did not meet the tirr . quirements for notification of affected licensees or purchasers in accordance with 10 t : rt 21.21(b). In accordance with the NRC's er.forcement policy as promulgated in NUREG-1600, the procedural deficiencies and the missed time requirement (because of minor safety significance) will be treated as a minor violation of 10 CFR 21.21 and no notice of violation will be issued.
The inspection bases were as follows:
- Appendix B," Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federa/ Regulaticos (10 CFR Part 50).
- 10 CFR Part 21, " Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance"
- 10 CFR 50.60, " Acceptance Criteria for Fracture Prevention Measures for Lightwater Nuclear Power Reactors for Normal Operations"
- 10 CFR 50.61, " Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events"
- 10 CFR Part 50, Apperdix G, " Fracture Toughness Requirements,"
- 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix H, " Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program Requirements,' .
- Generic Letter 92-01, Revision 1, and its Supplement 1
- Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 (May 1988) 2
2 STATUS OF PREVIOUS INSPECTION FINDINGS No previous findi igs relating to FTl or B&W were addressed during this inspection.
1 3 INSPECTION FINDINGS AND OTHER COMMENTS I 3.1 10 CFR Part 21 Program
- a. Inspection Scone in conducting a routine review of FTI's program for compliance with 10 CFR Part 21, the inspector reviewed the latest effective revision, Revision 10, dated April 16,1997) of Framatome Technologies Group (FTG), Inc. (FTI's parent company), Corporcte Policy Statement 0401," Reporting of Defects and Noncompliances Conceming Substantial Safety Hazards," and the latest effective revision (Revision 26, also dated April 16,1997) of FTl Administrative Procedure (Quality Assurance) 1707-01, " Processing Safety Concems." In addition, the inspector reviewed FTI's records of safety concern evaluations back through 1992,
- b. Qhservations and Findinas
! The inspector found that Policy Stateriient 0401 indicated that it was applicable torramatome Technologies Group (FTG), Inc., and its affiliated companies, including FTI.Section IV.A of Policy Statement 0401 stated that it was FTG's policy that FTG and its affiliated companies should " adopt appropriate procedures" to accomplish the requirements of 10 CFR 21.21(a),
which it listed correctly. Section 21.21(a) of 10 CFR Part 21 sett forth the requirements for the content of procedures that are recuired to be adopted pursuant to the regulation.Section IV.A of 0401 also required adopting procedures to comply with 10 CFR 21.21(b) regarding informing affected licensees or purchasers of deviation or failures to comply. While 10 CFR Part 21 does not at the present time explicitly require this provision in procedures adopted pursuant to the regulation, it may in the near fQre, and, more importantly, it does require that Section 21.21(b) be followed when applicable; therefore, the inspector found the inclusion of this provision to be prudent.Section IV.B also prudently specified the regtprements for compliance with 10 CFR 21.21(c) goveming the NRC reporting process, although this section of Part 21 is also not presently required to be covered by Part 21 procedures. Likewise,Section IV.C of 0401 covered the provisions of 10 CFR 21.31 regarding procurement documents and also 10 CFR 21.6(b), alternative posting requirements, including the prescribed notice as an attachmen' to the policy statement.
Administrative Procedure 1707-01 contained the detailed provisions fo,-implementing FTG Corporate Policy Statement 0401 and complying with Part 21 requirements. It assigned responsibilities for meeting the various Part 21 requirements by title and delineated the mechanics, including forms, etc., for processing what it called Preliminary Reports of Safety Concerns, or "PSCs." Paragraph Vill.A oefined a safety concem in general terms, broad 1
enough to encompass most things that might be considered deviations or failures to comply as defined in Part 21. However, the inspector identified several weaknesses in the procedu,e.
First, the procedure did not relate safcty concems to deviations or failures to comply or explain 3
k -
deviations or failures to comply as defined in Part 21 (or state that included with safety concems, specifically, are deviations and failures to comply) such that knowledgeable staff could decide if a given safety cor,cern actually constituted a deviation or failure to comply in a
" basic component" (also not explained) as defined by Pari 21, that has been delivered or I offered for use at an NRC-licensed facility, and thns requires evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR 21.21(a)(1). The procedure also referred to time limits in Part 21 for processing safety concerns when the term safety concern is not tsed in Part 21.
Second, the procedure required an evaluation of safety concerns, but did not explain that the evaluation should determine (a) if the safety concern was a deviation or failure to comply as defined in Part 21, arid (b) if the deviation was a " defect" as defined in Part 21 or if the failure to comply was associated with a " substantial safety hazard," also as defined in Part 21. The ins-pector was concerned that without reference to or explanation of the terms used in Part 21 (and also in Policy Statemem 0401), Procedure 1707-01 might allow some deviations or failures to comply to go unevaluated. For example, certain departures from technical requirements in procurement specifications (deviations) might not be recognhed as a safety concern as defined in the procedure. Hence, those deviations might not be properly evaluated to determine if they constitute defects, i.e., deviations that could create substantial safety hazards or lead to exceeding a license technical specification safety limit.
Third, the procedure stated that safety concerns that were to be transferred to customers would be transferred after management concurrence with the " final report" instead of within five working days of determining that FTl would not be able to perform the 10 CFR 21.21(a)(1) evaluation as required by 10 CFR 21.21(b). Presuming "the final report" to mean the report of the group performing a 21.21(a)(1) evaluation of a PSC (what should be related to a deviation l
or failure to comply), the language of the procedure effectively allows information on deviations and failures to comply to remain unreported to affected licensees or purchasers until the 60-day evaluatit ., time limit has expired, or the evaluation time as extended by an interim report when FTl may have known it was not going to perform an evaluation much earlier in the process if the procedure had made it clear that at any time after the initiation of a PSC, one disposition of the PSC could be a transfer of the information to the customer, and at the point when that determination is made (documented, for example, by some kind of memo or entry in the PSC file on that date), the five-working-day time period starts, then compliance with 10 CFR 21.21(b) would be better assured.
The inspectors review of FTI's records of evaluations of safety concems revealed that Rosemount instruments had sent a letter to Bailey Meter Company (a B&W/McDermott subsidiary) dated August 31,1992, informing its customer of a problem with Rosemount differential pressure transmitters (static pressure effect on span). As a result of a Bailey Meter letter to B&W Nuclear Technologies (as FTl was then known), dated October 15,1992, informing B&W of the problem, B&W initiated PSC 4-92 on October 29,1992 recommending that B&Ws affected customers, the Tennessee Valley Authority (for Bellefont), the Washington Public Power Supply System (for WNP-1) and Consumers Power (for Midland), be notified of the problem (this would have been a 10 CFR 21.21(b) notification). Although the B&W Part 21 procedure corresponding to FTI's 1707-01 in effect at the time, BWNT-1707-01, Revision 23, dated October 1,1992, generally reflected the revision to 10 CFR Part 21 that became effective on October 29,1991, the procedure contained essentially the same language as FTl's 1707-01 4
i W
regarding transferring safety concem information to customers. Apparently as a result, the file for PSC 4-92 contained another memorandum, dated November 19,1992, indicating that the concern would be transferred to customers and distributing the preliminary evaluation report in house for comment. It requested that comments on the customer notification be returned in one week. Comments were received and the final evaluation report was routed for engineering and QA concurrence on December 1,1992. The PSC was finally closed out on December 9, 1992, and the affected utilities (as well as those with non-affected, B&W-designed operating plants) were notified of the concern by Letter ESC-1047, dated December 16,1997. The notification of affected licensees and purchasers occurred within five working days of management concurrence with the final evaluation report as prescribed by the procedure.
However, this was not consistent with the requirvnent of 21.21(b) (or its intent) because affected licensees or puruasers were not notified of the deviation within five working days of the time (November 19,1992) at which the file clearly indicated that the cognizant staff within BWNT had determined that the PSC would not be evaluated.
- c. Conclusions Procedure 1707-01 referenced Policy Statement 0401 as well as Part 21 itself and NUREG-0302 (contains some interpretation guidance). However, Procedure 1707-01 was the only working proce:.'ure adopted pursuant to 10 CFR Part 21 and was supposed to stand alone.
Therefore the inspector concluded that with the weaxnesses identified, tt.J procedure might not always be effective in ensuring conipliance with 10 CFR 21.21(a), and, although compliance with 10 CFR 21.21(b) is not currently required to be covered by procedures, the language of the procedure if followed without reference to the regulation could allow violation of 10 CFR l 21.21(b). Accordingly, the inspector determined that these weaknesses constituted a minor
) violation of 10 CFR 21.21(a). In accordarice with the NRC Enforcement Policy promulgated in l NUREG-1600, the matter was bought to the attention of FTl and is discussed here in the report, but no Notiw of Violation is being issued.
With regard to the failure of B&W in 1992 to notify affented purfaasers of a deviation (that B&W
} did not intend to evaluate) within the timo limit i.rescribed by 10 CFR 21.21(b), this occurrence would constitute a Level-IV violation of 10 CFR 21.21(b), except that in this particular case, the deviation was of r, inor safety significance. This was because (1) the affected plants of BWNT's affected purchasers were not operating, (2) the file indicated that Rosemount had also informed affected utilities, and (3) Bailey Controls had determined that the problem had a minor impact on safety. Therefore, in accordance with the criteria in NUREG-1600, it is considered a minor violation and no notice of violation will be issued.
3.2 Reactor Vessel Weld Chemistry Data
- a. Inspection Sco_pst in order to obtain and validate weld chemistry data from available sources for domestic B&W-fabricated, submerged-arc welds in pressurized watcr reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) vessels, the inspectors reviewed information at FTl to:
5 i
T
- 1. Establish the traceability for weld chemistry data points by comparing them to the weld l
metal qualification (WMQ) test reports, chemistry laboratory work requests, or other !
fabrication recorde.
- 2. Review B&Ws fabrication records to verify general consistency with topical repyts that were submitted to the NRC.
- 3. Obtain all available data in order to assess the impact of including these data in best-estimate chemistry determinations. '
Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.99, Revision 2, " Radiation Embrittlement of Reactor Vessel Materials," provides a method for calculating the amount of radiation embrittlen,ent. RG 1.99, Revision 2, indicates that the amount of radiation embrittlement is dependent upon the amount of copper, nickel, and neutron fluence it also provides a methed for determining the amount of radiation embrittlement from surveillance datr2 In topical repous BAW-1500 and BAW-2121P, the B&W Owners Group (B&WOG) reported the chemical composition of the Linde 80, submerged-arc welds used in fabricating the 177-Fuel Assembly OG reactor vessels. SAW-1500 and BAW-2121P identified the chemical composition of welds fabricated using the following weld wire neat numbers: 8T1762, 299L44, 72105, 406L44, 8T1554, 821 T44, 61782, 71249, 72102, 72442, 72445,1 P0962, T29744, 8T3914,1 P0661, and 1 P0815.
l As a result of the NRC Staff review of licensee responses to Generic Letter 92-01, Revision 1, a l comprehensive database was developed to compile and record summaries of the materials properties of the reacto. vessel beltline materials for each plant. This database is called the Reactor Vessel Integrity Database (RVID). It should be noted that the data in the RVID came l from pressurized thermal shock and pressure-temperature limit assessments, from surveillance capsule reports, and in responses to staff requests for additional information (RAb) as well as in responses to generic letters. All of the heats identified above are included in the RVID In addition, a few heats that were identified in the RVID, but not reported in BAW-1500 or BAW-2121P, include what are called " low-copper" weld wire heats, comprising heat numbers 442002, 442011, H4408,31401, and 1084-18. Low-copper welds are, by definition, ones in which the weld wire had no copper coating. There may be trace amounts of copper present from other sources, but none from weld wire coatings.
As part of the process of verification of the RVID, the Materials and Chemical Engineering Branch (EMCB), Division of Engineering, Office cf r4uclear Reactor Regulation, identified the need to review the chemistry data for the heats of submerged-arc weld wire material used by the B&W in fabricating RPVs used in domestic nuclear power plants. Accordingly, at FTI, the EMCB inspectors reviewed the recorded data for weld wire neats 299L44,72105,71249, 61732, 72445, 4G6L44, 72442, 821 T44, 8T1554, 72102, 8T3914, T29744, 8T1762,1 P0962, 1 P0661 1 P0815, 442002, 442011, H4498, 31401, and 1084-18.
- b. Findinos and Observations The chemical composition data used by FTl to determine the best-estimate chemistry for each heat came from four potential sources. These sources included: (1) nozzis celtline dropouts, (2) surveillance weld samples, (3) WMC tests, and (4) reactor vessel berJme welds (e.g.,
6
Midland). The inspectors verified that FTl collected and reviewed all available material chemistry data, including results of the previous studies performed on weldments manufactured by B&W. While performing this review, the inspectors noted a weakness regarding the traceability of the recorded test data. As a result of discussions with the inspectors, FTl agreed I to provide documentation that contained information to assist the inspectors in establishing / verifying traceability of each of the heats to its respective recorded test data.
l The inspectors noted that the data and calculations for the majority of the heats, were recorded I in an acceptable manner. However, the inspectors identified some data inconsistencies in FTI's i records. The inspectors found that FTl had not transferred som 3 of the data to its " master list,"
when determining the best-estimate chemistry, in addition, the inspectors noted that FTl had not identified suspect data, where applicable. During the review of " raw" data from original laboratory or weld metal qualification test reports, the inspectors considered some data points to be suspect, but these had not been identified as such by B&W or FTI. For example, data from testn on Zion Un!t 2 weld WF 209-1, specimens W-40A and W-40B, had been omitted from the suspect data section in FTI's " master list." The inspectors noted that many weld wire heats hM suspect data. Therefore, the ,nspectors requested detailed information which explained why the data were considered to be suspect and whether the data should have been included in determining the best-estimate chemistry.
Subsequent to the on-site portion of the inspection, FTl submitted the additional information ir.
its letter INS-97-2262, dated June 6,1997. FTl address +.1 suspect data, provided tre Toility documentation, included the additional data, and determined the effect of the additio..al data on i
the mean values of copper and nickel.
Sy letter INS-97-2450, dated June 19,1997, FTl submitted the available data for the non-copper-coated weld wire heats used with Linde 80 flux in fabricating the low-copper we ds. In the enclosure to that letter, FTl included the best-estimate chemistry values for low-copper welds. The inspectors had requested the ir.iormation because of apparent discrepancies (i.e.,
vs.ues of copper too high for ostensibly low-copper weids) they found in some of the reported values for welds which had been identified as having low-copper content values. Also, in this letter, FTl committed to provide the additional data to the members of the B&WOG.
On July 10,1997, as stated above, a conference call was held between FTl and the inspectors to discuss: traceability, correction factors, misprints and/or data not matching the " master list,"
and reasons for not including missing or suspect data in determining the best-estimate chemistry. These issues were resolved during the conferet.ce call and by FTI's letter, dated July 10,1997.
Detailed Observations and Findinac for Each Cocoer-Coated Weld Wire Heat of Interest Table 3, included after the discussions of copper-coated weld wire heats below, compares the amount of copper and nickel in Linde 80 welds, fabricated with copper-coated weid wire, that were reportad (1) by the licensecs, (2) in B&WOG Reports BAW-1500 and BAW-2121P, and (3) from FTI's evaluaHon of all traceable data. FTI's estimates of the chemical cor.1 position were derind from the average of all"non-suspect" traceable data and from a coil-weighted average for copoer. The coil-weightad average is determined by taking the sum of the products 7
(
of the average amount of copper from each sample end the number of coils used in the
'abrication of the sample, and dividing this sum by the number of coils to fabricate all sample welds. Note that FTI's estimates of perant copper using the coil-weighted averages were less than or equal to the best-estimate values reported by licensees, except for weld wire heat num> ers 821T44,72442, and 72445. For these heats, the coil-weighted average was 0.01 percent greater than the FTl best-estimate values derived from the average of all the cata.
Where the coil-weighted averages exceed the best-estimeh values derived from averaging all data, the NRC will notify affected licensees and request that they assess the impact on a plant-specific basis.
b.1 Heat 8T1762 FTl's best-estimate chemistry for weld wire heat 8T1762, based on averaging the individual data points, was 0.19 weight percent for copper and 0.55 weight percent for nickel. The inspectors independently assessed the data and verified that FTI's best-estimate chemistry calculations were correct. Nevertheless, the copper and nickel values reported by licensees and contained in the RVID (0.20 and 0.55 wt-% recpectively) were greater than or equal to the average from all traceable data. Therefore, there were tItimately no concems with weld wire heat 8T1762.
b.2 Heat 299L44 The inspectors identified additional data for weld wire heat 299L44 that resulted from FTI-I sponsored "round robin" testing. The round-robin testing was condt.cted by several laboratorms on specimens from the same welds to evaluate error sources associated with analysis methods and practices, including equipment, calibration, analyst perception and judgement where applicable, data reduction, and laboratory practices. FTl committed to include the data for inese subject welds in its assessment of best-est: mate chemistry. FTl submitted this information to the NRC with its June 6,1997, letter. The inspectors verified that the additional data were added to the existing data for weld wire heat 299L44 and found the values to be acceptable. Although the inspectors noted that the standard deviation for the mean copper reimained unchanged, and the standard deviation for the mean nickel for heat 299L44 increased slightly (from 0.03 to 0.04 weight percent), the inspectors confirmed that the copper and nickel values reported by licensees for 299L44 and contained in the RVID were greater than or equal to the average from all traceable data. No further concems were identified with l
this heat.
b.5 Heat 72105 The inspectors identified additional data that had not been reported for weld wire heat 72105.
Also, review of the supplemental infon".ation (original data) for this heat provided by FTl in its July 10,1997, letter revealed several apparent typographical errors in the B&W topical report (BAW-1500). For example, BAW-1500, Exhibit B-6 listed the copper content for weld WF-209-1 (heat 72105) as 0.40 weight percent. The retest value for copper reported in Table C-2 of BAW-1500 was listed as 0.49 weight percent. The WMQ test report indicated that the correct value is 0.40 weight percent. Among the data not previously reported were suspect / rejected data for weld wire heat number 72105. The chemical analyses of three Zion Unit 2 samples 8
o -
fabricated with weld wire from this heat were rejected since it was believed that the specimen was notched in the base metal resulting in erroneous chemistry values (Zion 2 WF-209-1: 1 specimen with ID of W 40A, and 2 specimens with ID of W-40B). Several WUQ test data points were considered suspect and, therefore, the data were rejected, includ;ng: (a) the nickel value for WF-/0 WMQ from Mt. Vernon WMQ Test Lab No. 6595; (b) the copper content for WF-113 from Mt. Vernon WMQ Test Lab No. 7277; (c) the nickel content for WF-209-1 from Mt.
Vernon WMQ Test Lab No.10029; and (d) the copper and nickel content for WF-353 from Mt.
Vernon WMQ Test Lab No.14433. A total of 5 copper data points and 6 nickel data points were rejected for weld wire heat number 72105.
Hnwever, the data reported for heat 72105 in FTI's letter dated July 10,1997, accurately reflected the data identified by the licensee and the inspectors. FTl's best-estimate for the chemistry of heat 72105 was based on averaging the individual data points. The inspectors verified that the calculations were ccrrect. This resulted in 0.32 weight percent for copper and 0.57 weight percent for nickel.
The inspectors also assessed the best-estimate chemistry, for heat 72105, by averaging the mean value from the individual sources of data. The 12 sources of data, if the data points discussed above are excluded, include: (1) WMQ test for weld WF-70, (2) WMQ test for weld WF-113, (3) WMQ test for weld WF-209, (4) WMQ test for weld WF 209-1, (5) nozzle belt dropout for Midland 1, (6) beltline weld for Midland 1, (7) reactor vessel surveillance program (RVSP) from Oconee 2, (8) RVSP from Oconm 3, (9) RVSP from Crustal River 3, (10) RVSP from Midlana 1, (11) RVSP from Zion 1, and ( , RVSP from Zion 2. The resultant values from this "mean of the means" approach are listed in Table 1. The inspectors also assessed the impact of including the data points excluded from the database (discussed above) on the "mean of the means" chemistry. For this case, another source of data was added (i.e., the WMQ test for weld WF-353). These values are also listed in Table 1. The results indicate that the copper and nickel values reported in RVID for heat 72105 are conservative. Therefore, the inspectors had no further unceme with weld wire heat 72105.

FTI's estimates of the percent copper, using the coil-weightad averages, were less than or equal to the best-estimate values reported by the licensees, except for weld wire heat numbers 821T44, 72442, and 72445. For these weld wire heats, the coil weighted average was 0.01 weight 9
percent greater than the best-estirnate values derived from the average of all the data.
However, the inspectors review of the data for weld wire heat 821T44 indicated that the copper and nickel values reported by licensees and contained in the RVID are greater than or equal to the average from all traceable data. Therefore, the si ghtly higher coil-weighted average for copper notwithstanding, there were ultimately no concerns with weld wire heat 821T44.
b.5 Heat 72442 FTl provided a comprehensive listing of chemistry data for weld wire heat 72442. Although for 72442, the percent copper by coil-weighted average was 0.01 weight percent greater than the best estimate value from averaging all the data, the inspectors review of the data for weld wire heat 72442 indicated that the copper and nickel values rerorted by licenseec and contained in the RVID for 72442 are equal to the average from all traceable data. Therefore, there were no concerns with weld wire heat 72442.
b.6 Heat 72445 FTl provided a comprehensive listing of chemistry data for weld wire heat 72445. FTI's best-estimate copper content values, derived from the average of all data, as weil as by coil-weighted everage as stated above, was found to be 0.01 weight percent greater than the best-estimate values reported by the licensees, for weld wire heat number 72445. However, for this heat, the average amount of nicke! was less than that reported by licensees. The lower value for nickel in this case offset the higher copper values such that the chemistry factor remained the same. Therefore, there were no concems with heat 72445.
b.7 Heat 71249 The inspectors identified additional data for weld wire heat 71249 resulting from the rgnd-robin testing. FTl committed to include the data in its assessment of best-estimate chemist y. FTl submitted the information to the NRC with its July 10,199 btter. Also included with this letter were data points from several sources cited in a letter from Florida Power & Light Company (FP&L), dated February 10,1984. However, these data were not included in the database for this weld because they could not be verified or traced. These data included: (a) 5 data points from Westinghouse, (b) at least 2 data points from the Heavy Section Steel Technology (HSST) program, (c) 1 data point from Point Beach 1 (WCAP 8743), (d) 1 data point from Zion 2 (SECY 82-465), (e) 1 Oconce data point (SECY 82-465), and (f) 1 data point from Ginna. Of the 5 Westinghouse data points, some may be uuplicates of the values listed in the June 30,1977, and April 11,1977, letters from FP&L included and referenced in the June 6,1997, FTl letter.
Tne inspectors noted that the data points from Point Beach 1 and Ginna may have been duplicates of the WMQ test report data from weld SA-1101; although this could not be verified with the availze data. However, the possible duplication in this case is inconsequential because the data were not used.
The four copper and nickel values for heat 71249 reported from the N .tional Bureau of Standards (NBS) analysis of specimen 62W (Oconee 1, SA-1101) are the mean of four analyses (i.e., there are fouc groups of data, each with 4 analyses, for a total of 16 rneasure-ments). Howew, the chemistry values from these four groups may not have been corrected 10
for calibration procedures and for spectral interferences. Nevertheless, the overall average of copper and nickel of the 16 measurements took these " correction" factors into consideration as indicated in a July 24,1985, letter from John A. Norris of NBS to Evan Morgan of B&W. These correct;cas to the " raw measurements" appeared to be insignificant, as evidenced by a comparison of the average value of copper from the " raw measurements" (0.172 weight percent) to the " corrected measurements" (0.170 weight percent).
A total of 17 copper and nickel data points were not included in the best-estimate chemistry for heat 71249 hecause the WMQ test reports were not available. These included 7 specimens from analysis of HSST- 62W [62W-309,62W-359,62W-202,62W-223 (2 specimens),62W 276 (2 specimens)] and 10 specimens from analysis of HSST-61W [61W-232,61W-276,61W-246, 61W-225,61W- 222,61W-270 (4 specimens), and 61W-234].
The inspectors noted that not all of the available data were listed in the FTl letter dated July 10, 1997, although the !etter contained all of the data where traceability could be established. FTI's best-estimate for the chemisuy of neat 71249 was based on averaging the individual data points. The inspectors verified that the calculations for these values were correct (0.24 weight ,
percent for copper and 0.61 weight percent for nickel). In addition, the inspectors assessed the imoact on the best-estimate chemistry of including the previously rejected data points. The result was the same mean value of copper, a lower mean value for nickel, and a higher sample standard deviation for Doth.
The inspectors aiso assessed FTl's best-est;mWe chemistry for heet 71249 by averaging the mean values from the individual sources of data. The 10 sources of data, when the noints discussed above are excluded, included: (1) WMQ test for weld SA-1094, (2) WMO tu.
weld SA-1101, (3) WMO test for weld SA-1229, (4) WMQ test for weld SA-1344, (5) WMG test for weld SA-1706, (6) WMQ test for weld SA i769, (7) RVSP from Westinghousa, (8) RVSP ,
i from Turkey Point 3, (9) RVCP from Turkey Point 4, and (10) nozzle belt dropout (NBD) from Oconee 1. The resu; tant values from this "mean of the means approach are listed in Table 2.
The inspectors also assessed the impact of including the data e-;;nts excluded from the database (discussed above) en the "mean of the means" chemistry. For this case, two sources of data were added (i.e., RVSP from the HSST program and a NBD from the HSST program).
These values are also listed in Table 2.

[(sample)
FTI's best-estimate nickel content values were less than or equal to the values reported by the licensees, except for weld wire heat number 71249. However, for this heat, the average 11
amount of copper was less than that reported by ai ud licensees, which resulted !n a lower chemistry factor, in addition, the snean copper content for heat 71249, determined from the WMQ test data and the nozzle belt dropout data, were rignificantly lower than the mean determined from the RVSP. This indicated that there was considerable variability in the copper content within this heat of material. However, the results indicated that the copper and nickel l values reported in the RVID for heat 71249 are conservative.
The inspectors confirmed that FTl added the data from Florida Power & Light (FP&L), for weld wire heat 71249 to the data tables, as appropriate.
b.8 Ileat 72102 For weld wire heat 72102, the WMQ test report for weld SA-1187 indicated that tne WMQ test failed. The reason the test failed was not detailed. Although the copF er and nickel values reported for this WMQ test were used to estimate the mean va'ue for the total population of welds using weld wire heat 72102, the values were low to medium range and had a negligible effect on the mean. For heat 72102, FTI's best-estimate chemistry, based on averaging the individual data points, was found to be 0.21 weight percent for copper and 0.59 weight percent for nickel. Nevertheless, the inspe', tors confirmed that the copper and nickel values for weld wire heat 72102 reported by licensees and contained in tha RVID aie greater than or equal to the average from all traceable data. Therefore, tnere were no further concems with this heat.
b.9 Heat T29744 The inspectors identified additional data for weld wire heat T29744 during the inspection.
However, the additional information on T29744 in FTI's letiers of June 6 and July 10,1997, indicated that the best-estimate mean copper and nickel values did not change significantly with the additional data. Also, FTl added weld identification 63W to the existing data for heat 299L44, but the inspectors determined that the best-estimate mean copper and nickel values i
remained unchanged with the addition of the data from weld identification 63W. The inspectors confirmed that the copper and nickel values reported by licensees and contained in the RVID for T29744 were greater than or equal to the average from all traceable data. Therefore, there were no concerns with this weld wire heat.
b.10 Heat 1P0661 The inspectors identified additional data for weld wire heat 1P0661 during the inspection. The inspectors found that the best-estimate chemistry was not conservative when comparing it to the previous data for these weld wire heats. The inspectors reviewed the new information in FTI's letters dated June 6 and July 10,1997, and concluded that the best-estimate mean copper and nickel values did not change significantly with the additional data for weld wire heat 1P0661. The inspector's review of the data for weld wire heat 1P0661 indicated that the copper and nickel values reported by licensees and contained in the RVID are greater than e' equal to the average from all traceable data. Therefore, there were no further concems with this heet.

Detailed Observations and Findinas for Non-Cocoer-Coated Weld Wire Heats of Interest Table 4 compares the amount of copper and nickel in Linde 80 welds, fabricated with non-copper-coated weld wire, that were reported by the licensees and documented by FTI's evaluation of all traceable data. The chemical composition database for non-copper coated weld wires has been distributed by FTl to the licensees with RPV welds fabricated using these heats of weld wire. Licensees are expected to address the effect of the data on their pressure-versus-temperature operating limit curves and pressurized thermal shock (PTS) assessments in-accordance with applicable regulationc.

The reported cooper values for heat 442002 were not considered suspect; however, best-estimate chemistry values were obtained for all of the low-copper welds for completeness. Tc assess this information, the inspectors computed the resuitant enemistry factors usir,g the RVID program. The chemistry factor associated with the licensee-reported values was 41.0. However, the chemistry factor associated with the best-estimate values was less than that reported by the licensee, i.e.,39.6 because copper is much more heavily weighted in the calculation. Therefore, there were no further concerns with this heat.
14 i
b.13 Heat H4498 The inspectors identified some discrepancies in the reported copper values for low copper weld wire heat H4498; and requested additionalinformation. FTl provided the NPC with a summary of the best-estimate chemistry for the low-copper welds with its June 19,1997, letter. The i
copper value for H4498 was slightly higher than previously reported values, but the welds still I reportedly contained very low copper. The reported copper values for heat H4498 were not identified as suspect. The inspectors determined the chemistry fac'or for H4498 associated with the data reported by licensees using the RVID program (41.0) and compared it to the chernistry factor associated with FTl's best-estimate copper and nickel values derived from the average of all data (56.7). However, FTl stated that the affected weld for this heat was in a lower-fluence location in the Braidwood vessel, and was not ihe controlling (limiting) material / weld for that vessel. Therefore, the apparently significant change in the chemistry factor would have no impact on the operating limits for the Braidwood vessel. There were no further concems with this beat.
b.14 Heat 442011 The inspectors noted that FTI's best-estimate copper valee for heat 442011 (0.033 wt-%) was more than those reported by the licenste (0.030 wt-%), and the best-estimate nickel value at 0.688 wt-% was also greater than the 0.630 and 0.650 wt-% values reported by the licensee.
The data for heat 442011 were not considered suspect. To assess this information, the inspectors coraputed the resultant chemistry factors using the RVID program for comparison.
The chemistry factor computed for the licensee-reported values was 41.0 and the chemistry factor computed for the best-estimate values was 44.9. Although the copper values are very low compared to those from copper-coated weld wire, they would be expected to have a l calculable effect on operating limitspecause, according to FTI, heat 442011 was used in the i
center circular (beltline) weld, the cdhtrolling material in the reactor vessels in Braidwood Station. FTl confirmed that the affected licensee, Commonwealth Edison Company, was promptly informed of the information and had reported it was assessing the impact on operating limus as required by regulations. The licensee will be expected to make the appropriate submittals to the NRC associated with any resultant changes.
b.15 Heat 1084-18 The inspectors identified some discrepancies in the reported copper values for the low copper weld wire heat 1084-18 ano requested additionalir. formation. In a subsequent submittal, FTl provided a summary of the best-estimate chemistry for the low-copper welds. The inspectors noted thu only one cata point was identified by Fil for low-copper weld wire heat 1084-18.
The best-estimate mean values for copper and nickel for this weld wire heat were recorded as 0.038 and 0.600 wt-%, respectively. However, the copper and nickel values reported by licensees and contained in the RVID were greater than or equal to the average from all traceable data. Therefore, there were no concema with this heat.
, 15 f
b.16 Heat 31401 The inspectors noted that the copper values reported by licensees and listed in the RVID for low-copper weld wire hect 31401 were unusually high for an ostensibly low-copper heat; although still not as high as those typical of copper-coated weld wire. The nickel values were not unusual. The inspectors requested additional information which was provided in a subsequent FTl submittal. FTI's best estimate values for both copper and nickel were cora,istent with the values in the RVID, falling in the middle of the range. Therefore, there were no further concerns with this heat,
- c. ConcluMong The inspectors concluded that the data compiled by the B&WOG in topical reports BAW-1500 and BAW-2121P were no+ complete and not fully traceable. However, the inspectors were provided with sufficient information during and following the inspection to conclude that (1) adequate treceability was eventually established for most of the weld chemistry data, (2) consistency was verified betwcen B&Ws fabricatinn recnrds and topical reports, and (3) most of the information in the RVID (at least chemistry factors) remained conservative even when all available data were included in the best-estimate chemistry determination. The exceptions have been appropriately dispositioned as discussed in the individual weld wire heat sections l ebove, it should also be noted that FTl informed the B&WOG Reador Vessel Working Group, Rochester Gas and Electric, and Tennessee Valley Authority, by letter INS-97-2526, dated June 30,1997, of the results of their erforts prompted by the NRC inspection. This letter included summary tables of the chemical composition assessments for the Lirde 80 weld metals, as reperted to the NRC. The chemical composition data were preseried using three different assessments: (1) currently reported best-estimate values, (2) best estimate values based on total population of all traceable data, and (3) coil-weighted aver *4ga for weld copper content. FTl's review of the data assessments indicated that the weld compositions determined prior to the inspection were conservative for most of the weld wire hens. For the copper-coated wire heats, where the estimates were non-conservative, FTl determined the effect to be inconsequential (i.e., greater by only 0.01 weight percent). The ,aspector's review of these data confirmed that the copper and nickel values for copper-coated weld wire heats reported by licensees and coritained in the RVID are greater than er equal to the average from all traceable data, except for weld wire heat numbers 72445 and 71W However, since the chemistry factor values (used by the licensees in developing operating limits), based on the average of all data for these weld wire heats are less than or equal to the chemistry factor values in the RVID, the chemistry data for copper-coated weld wire heats in the RVID are acceptable.
For low-copper heat'., FTI's beut-estimate values for copper or nickel or then associated chemictry factors were either conservative with respect to previous reported values or were not significant because of not being in the controlling welds with one exception. For deat 442011, '
although it contained very low copper, the copper value and resultant chemistry factor was greater than that previously reported and was in the controlling material. FTl confirmed that the 16

. affected licensee, Commonwealth Edison Company, was promptly informed of the information and had reported that it was assessing the impact on operating limits as required by regulations. . The licensee will be expected to make the appropriate submittals to the NRC associated with any resultant changes.
The staff assessment evaluated chemistry data. It did not evaluate the impact of surveillance '
data on embrittlement. Licensees that use surveillance data to determine the amount of embrittlement will need to assess the FTl chcmistry data. The NRC will notify the affected licer, sees.
4 ENTRANCE and EXIT MEETINGS At the entrance meeting on May 19,1997, the NRC inspectors discussed the scope of the inspection, outlined the areas to be inspected, and established interfaces with cognizant FTl management and sta'f, At the exit meeting on May 21,1997, the inspectors discussed their findings and o'o servations and obtained a commitment from FTl to submit the remainder of the chemistry data and other information requested by the inspectors that FTl was unable to provide during the onsite portion of the inspection.
