Section 9 Executive Summary The leakage rates for jet pump riser indications found during the 1998 outage at Vermont Yankee were calculated for end of cycle, adjusted flaw lengths at normal operation and post-LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident) condition riser to annulus pressure drops of 123 and 13 psid respectively.

1. Purpose -

l l The purpose of this report is to document the evaluation of the indications found at weld RS-1 forjet pump pairs 5 & 6; 9 & 10; 13 & 14; and 15 & 16 riser pipes during the 1998 outage for Vermont Yankee (Reference 1). The plant designation for the welds ofinterest are N2B-l RS-1, N2C-RS-1, N2H-RS-1, and N2K-RS-1.

l 2. Inputs and Methods The inputs for calculating the leakage rates for the indications found are listed below.

t

1. Vermont Yankee riser differential pressure at normal' operating conditions as found in the plant specific database.

2. Vermont Yankee riser differential pressure for post-LOCA conditions as calculated in Reference 2.

3. Calculated IGSCC crack growth for eighteen months (12,000 hrs) cycle based on a growth rate of 5x10 4inch / hot hour.

4. Leakage rate is calculated based on adjusted flaw lengths at the end of one cycle for 1 normal operation and post-LOCA conditions.

3. Leakage Calculation -

Leakage from postulated through-wall flaws with length equal to the adjusted end of cycle flaw sizes are calculated based on the procedure described in section 5.1.1.5 of BWRVIP-41 (Reference 3). With riser AP values of 123 psid for normal operation and 13 psid for post-LOCA conditions, and a crack opening (S) conservatively assumed to be 10 mils, the leakage rates are tabulated below. For normal operations jet pump flow is assumed to be rated core flow. For post-LOCA conditions thejet pump riser flow is assumed to be the nominal LPCI flow rate used in the SAFER /GESTR analysis (Reference 5).

• Adjusted Flaw Length = observed indicatioa length + IGsCC growth + NDE uncertainty of 0382"(Reference 4).
