4 ATTACHMENT PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-275/323 MATERIALS APPLICATION SECTION MATERIALS ENGINEERING BRANCH 5.2.4 Fracture Toughness 1.

Compliance with Appendices G and H, 10 CFR 50 In previous safety evaluations (Supplement Nos. 9 and 13) the staff determined that exemptions to Sections III.C.2 and IV.A.4 of Appendix G, 10 CFR 50 and Sections II.B and II.C.2 of Appendix H, 10 CFR 50 would l-j be required and were justified.

Since those evaluations were published, Appendices G and H have been revised. The revised Appendices G and H were published in the Federal Register on May 27, 1983 and became l

effective on July 26, 1983.

The exemptions to Appendices G and H, t

i which were discussed in our previous safety evaluations, are no longer 1

l required, because the Diablo Canyon materials and surveillance program

{

complies with the revised Appendices G and H requirements. A discussion

'l of these requirements follows.

1:

Section III.C.2 and IV.A.4 in previous revisions of Appendix G had y

specific requirements for preparation of reactor vessel beltline weld i

l metal test specimens and minimum fracture toughness requirements for reactor coolant pressure boundary ferritic bolting, respectively.

In i

i l

lieu of these specific requirements, the revised Appendix G requires that reactor vessel beltline weld metals test specimens and reactor 8704290161 870417

in ASME Code edition and addenda that was permitted by paragraph 50.55a, 10 CFR 50.

In a previous safety evaluation, we determined that the reactor vessels for Diablo Canyon were fabricated to ASME Code edition and addenda, which comply with the requirements of ~ paragraph 50.55a.

Hence, Diablo Canyon's materials comply with the revised Appendix G requirements and exemptions to Appendix G are no longer required.

j j Sections II.B and II.C.2 in previous revisions of-Appendix H required that the surveillance program conducted prior.to the first capsule-withdrawal comply with the 1973 edition of ASTM E 185 and the lead 4

{1 factor (ratio of neutron fluence received by the capsule to that l3 received by the vessel inner surface) for the surveillance. capsules

not exceed three, respectively. The revised Appendix H, requires that i

the surveillance program conducted prior to the first capsule withdrawal comply with the requirements of the edition of ASTM E 185 that is current on the issue date of the ASME Code to which the' reactor vessel was pur-chased. The Diablo Canyon surveillance program complies with these

-I requirements. The revised Appendix H does not have a specific require-ment that lead factor for the surveillance capsules not exceed three.

1 Hence, Diablo Canyon's surveillance program complies with the revised f

l Appendix H requirements and exemptions to Appendix H are no. longer
