SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to document the results of the surveillance program credibility evalu performed using the results of the latest capsule testing from Byron Unit 1. Capsule W was the late capsule removed from the Byron Unit I reactor vessel and the results of the testing is documented WCAP 15123, Rev.DII . The credibility evaluation herein shows all the Byron Unit I surveillance weld data to be credible as well as the Braidwood Unitsi and 2 beltline weld metal (Heat # 442011), which is representative of the Byron Unit I nozzle to intermediate shell girth weld.. The Byron Unit 1 Surveil forging data, on the other hand, was found to be not' credible.

l 1 INTRODUCTION l l
Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, describes general procedures acceptable to the NRC staff for l calculating the effects of neutron radiation embrittlement of the low-alloy steels currently used for light-water cooled reactor vessels. Position C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, describes the method for calculating the adjusted reference temperature and Charpy upper-shelf energy of reactor vessel beltline materials using surveillance capsule data. The methods of Position C.2 can only be applied when two or more credible surveillance data sets become available from the reactor in question. Note: These criteria are also given in 10 CFR 50.61. ,
I l
- To date there has been three surveillance capsules removed from the Byron Unit I reactor vessel. To use these surveillance data sets, they must be shown to be credible. In accordance with the discussion of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, there are Sve requirements that must be met for the surveillance data to 3 bejudged credible. !
Ihe purpose of this evaluation is to apply the credibility requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, to the Byron Unit I reactor vessel surveillance data and determme if the Byron Unit I surveillance data is credible; WCAP-15183 Revision 0

- 12) EVALUATION: .
Criterion 1: Materials in the capsules should be thosejudged most likely to be controlhng with regard to radiation embrtttlement. .
The beltline region of the reactor vessel is defmed in Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50, " Fracture Toughness ,
. Requirements", as follows:
~ "the reactor vessel (shell material including welds, heat affected zones, and plates or forgings) that directly surrounds the effective height of the active core and adjacent regions of the reactor vessel j
~t hat 'are predicted to expenence sufficient neutron radiation damage to be considered in the j selection of the most limiting matenal with regard to radiation damage."
The Byron Unit I reactor vessel consists of the followmg beltline region materials:
- Intermedate shell forgmg SP-5933 Lower shell forgmg SP-5951
' Nozzle shell forgmg 123J218.
Intermedute shell forging to lower shell forging circumferential weld seam WF-336, weld wire heat number 442002, Linde 80 Flux, Lot 8873.
. Nozzle shell forging to intermedute shell forgmg circumferential weld seam WF-501, weld wire heat number 442011, Lade 80 Flux, Lot 8086 .
~
De Byron Unit I surveilknee program utihzes tangential and axial test specimens frem intermediate shell fogging 5P-5933 and HAZ specimens from forging 5P-5933. The surveillance weld metal was fabricated
, with weld wire heat number 442002, Flux Type Linde 80 Lot Number 8873. ;
- He Byron Unit i Surveillance program was based on ASTM E185-73. When the surveillance program matenal was selected it was beheved that copper and phosphonis were the elements most important to ,
embrittlement of reactor vessel steels. Of the three belthne region materials, the intermediate shell forging 5P-5933 had the highest initial RTwyr and one of the lowest initial USE. In' addition, intermediate shell forgmg SP-5933 had gproximately the same content of copper and phosphorous content of the other beltline forgmg materials. Hence, based on the highest istal RTurr and one of the lowest initial USE of all plate matenals, the intermediate shell forgmg SP-5933 was chosen for the surveillance program. The weld
- WF-336, on the other hand, was consider the only beltline weld and therefore was representative all of the beltline welds.
Based on the above s=- =:== and the methodology in use at the time the program was developed, the Byron Unit I survedlance matenal meets the intent of this criteria.
WCAP-15183 Revision 0
3 Criterion 2: Scatter in the plots ofCharpy energy versus temperaturefor the irradiated and
(
unirradiated conditions should be small enough to permit the determmanon of the 30ft.
Ib temperature and upper shelfenergy unambiguously.
1 Plots of Charpy energy versus temperature for the unirradiated and irradiated condition are N
presented Appendix C ofWCAP-15123, Rev. I ," Analysis of Capmle W from the I Commonwealth Edison Company Byron Unit 1 Reactor Vessel Surve<llance Program" Based on engineering judgment, the scatter in the data presented in these plots is small enough to permit the deternunation of the 30 ft-lb temperature and the upper shelf energy of the Byron Unit I surveillance materials unambiguously. Hence, the Byron Unit I surveillance program meets this ;
criterion. j Criterion 3: When there an two or mon sets ofsurveillance datafrom one nactor, the scatter of ARTuorvalues about a best-f t line drawn as described in Regulatory Position 2.1 normally should be less than 28*Ffor welds and 17*Ffor base metal. Even if thefluence range is large (two or mon orders ofmagnitude), the scatter should not exceed twice those values. Even ifthe datafail this criterionfor use in shift calculations, they may be crediblefor determining decnase in upper shelfenergy ifthe upper shelfcan be clearly determined,following the definition given in ASTM E183-82.
He functional form of the least squares method as described in Regulatory Position 2.1 will be j utilized to detemune a best-fit line for this data and to determine if the scatter of these ARTwr i I
vclues about this line is less than 28'F for welds and less than 17'F for the plate.
Following is the calculation of the best fit line as described in Regulatory Position 2.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2.
Byron Unit I has two circumferential welds that will be evaluated for credibility. These will be evaluated in two parts: 1.) Weld WF-336 (Intermediate to Lower Sheli Cire. Weld) is made from weld wire heat 442002 and is part of both Byron Unit I and Byron Unit 2 Surveillance programs, 2.) Weld WF-501 (Nozzle Shell to Intermeditte Shell Cire. Weld) is made from weld wire heat 442011 and is part of Braidwood Units I and 2 surveillance programs only. For Part one, data is available from Byron Urut 2 surveillance program for the Byron Unit I surveillance weld metal. The second situation there is data from Braidwood Units 1 and 2 surveillance programs for the Byrou Unit I cire. weld WF-501 which is not in the Byron Unit I surveillance program Since the welds in question utilize data from other surveillance programs, the is--- =>=' NRC methods for determmmg credibility will be followed. The NRC methods were presented to industry at a meetmg held by the NRC on November 12,1997. At this meeting the NRC presented five cases. Of the five cases Case 4 and 5 most closely represents the two situations listed above for Byron Unit I surveillance and non-surveillance weld materials (Cne 4 goes with # 1 above and Case 5
. WCAP-15183 Revision 0
p 4
with # 2 above). Note, for the forging materials, the straight forward nethod of Regulatory Guide 1.99.
Revision 2 will be followed. ,
From NRC Industry Meetings on November 12,= 1997 and February 12,13 of 1998, procedural guidelines were presented to adjust the ARTm for temperature differences when using surveillance data from one vessel applied to another vessel. He following was taken from the handout given by the NRC at these industry meetings: q l
Irradiation temperature and fluence (or fluence factor) are first order environmental variables in i
- assessing irradiation damage... To account for differences in temperature between sun eillance specimens and vessel, an adjustment to the data must be performed. Studies have shown that for temperatures near 550'F, a l'F decrease in irradiation temperature will result in approximately a ,
l'F increase in' ARTm. For capsules with irradiation temperature of Tw, and a plant with an j inadiation temperature oft,i., an adjustment to normahze ARTer. to T,i. is made as j i
follows: {
1 Temp. Adjusted ARTm = ARTer. + 1.0*( Tw,- T,i.) l Table 1 presents the Irradiation Temperature for Byron Units 1 and 2 and Braidwood Units I and 2. These L..,~.. hares were obtamed from WCAP-14824, Rev. 2t2) Since operating temperatures of cycles of ,
j interest are all equal (i.e. 553*F), then no temperature adjustment will be applied in further evaluations I herein.- f I

Credibility assessment - Byron Unit 1 Data Only:
The data most representative forByron Unit 1 is that from Byron Unit I since the irradiation environment of the surveillance capsules and the vessel are very similar. The data requires the least adjustments.
Byron data should be exanuned independently to determine credibility. Since all data are taken from one source (Byron Unit 1, plot measured ARTuor versus FF and determine best fit line.

l From Table 8 above, the Byron Unit 1 Forging Data has two of six data points outside the 17'F scatter band. Since the one point out en the high side of the scatter band (-18.9) is only 1.9'F from the cut-off of l 17*F, an argument could be made that this is actually within the scatter band due to how the data is plotted (i.e. symmetric versus asy.. ..stiic), measured and/or iA error. This would leave one of six outside the scatter band and that one point is on the low side. This condition could be considered credible, however for conservatism , the forging surveinance data is considered ggt credible.
Since the forging material is deemed non-credible, a check for conservatism will be performed. This is done by comparmg the ewiey factor using Position 1.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 to the
- - chinry factor using Position 2.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2. The copper and nickel weight percent for the Byron Unit I surveillance forging material is 0.04,0.74, respectively. Using Table 2 from the Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, the ewi*y factor is 26.0'F.

(2) Measumd ARTm is taken from Section 5 or Appendix C ofWCAP-15123 Rev.110.
Since the scatter is less than 2*e6 (e6 = 17'F), the Table CF is conservative. However, the chemistry factor using Position 2.1 is 30.3*F (See Table 10), thus, it would produce a more conservative result and will be considered in further evaluations (such as calculating adjusted reference temperature and PTS) using a full margm term.
Critenon 4: The trradiation temperature ofthe Charpy specimens in the capsule should match the vessel wall temperature at the cladding / base metalinterface within +/- 25*E Thejustification for criterion 4 from the previous credibility evaluation presented in WCAP-14824 Rev. 2 is still applicable, therefore, this criterion is met.
Criterion 5: The surveillance datafor the correlation monitor materialin the capsule shouldfall within the scatter band ofthe data basefor that material.
The justification for criterion 5 from the previous credibility evaluation presented M WCAP-14824 Rev. 2 is still applicable, therefore, this criterion is met.
WCAP-15183 Revision 0
15 CONCLUSION:
Based on the preceding responses to all five criteria c' Regulatory Guide 1.99. Revision 2, Section B and .10 CFR 50.61, the Byron Unit I and 2 surveillance weld data and Braidwood Unit I and 2 surveillance weld data for use at Byron Unit 1 is credible. Byron Unit I surveillance Forging material is considered NOT CREDIBLE.
Lastly, The surveillance data for the forging material demonstrated that the Regulatory Guide 1.99 Position 1.1 eWinry factor was conservative. However, because the chemistry factor predicted 1
by the Regulatory Guide 1.99 Position 2.1 for the forging surveillance data was greater than the i Position 1.1 cWimy factor, then the Position 2.1 chemistry factor will be used to determine the adjusted reference temperature of the forging material.
