I o 1 p SECTION I INTRODUCTION s The purpose of this report is to submit .he reference temperature for I pressurized thermal shock (RTPTS) values for the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel to address the Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Rule. Section I discusses the Rule and provides the methodology for calculating RTPTS* Section 11 presents the results of the neutron exposure evaluation assessing the effects that past and present core management strategies have had on neutron fluence levels in the reactor vessel. Section III provides the reactor vessel beltline region material properties. Section IV provides the RTPTS calculations from present through the projected end-of-license fluence values. 1.1 THE PRESSURIZED THERMAL SHOCK RULE The Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Rule [1] was approved by the U.S. Nuclear

  -                        Regulatory Commissioners on June 20, 1985, and appeared in the Federal Register on July 23, 1985. The date that the Rule was published in the Federal Register is the date that the Rule became a regulatory requirement.

The Rule outlines regulations to-address the potential for PTS evente on pressurized water reactor (PWR) vessels in nuclear power plants that are operated with a license from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC). PTS events have been shown from operating experience to be transients that result in a rapid and severe cooldown in the primary system coincident with a high or increasing primary system pressure. The PTS concern arises if one of these transients acts on the beltline region of a reactor vessel where a reduced fracture resistance exists because of neutron irradiation. Such an event may produce the propagation of flaws postulated to exist near the inner wall surface, thereby potentially affecting the integrity of the vessel.

The Rule establishes the following requirements for all domestic, operating PWRs:

  • Establishes the RT (measure of fracture resistance) Screening CriterionfortheNhetorvesselbeltlineregion '

270*F for plates, forgings, axial welds 300*F for circumferential weld materials

  • 6 Months From Date of Rule: All plants must submit their present ,

RT vaNhsattheexpirationdateoftheoperatinglicense. values Thed$ (pertheprescribedmeth this submittal must be received by the NRC for plants with operating licenses is January 23, 1986. l

  • 9 Months From Date of Rule: Plants projected to exceed the PTS Screening Criterion shall submit an analysis and a schedule for implementation of such flux reduction programs as are reasonably practicable to avoid reaching the Screening Criterion. The data for this submittal must be received by the NRC for plants with operating licenses by April 23, 1986.
  • Requires plant-specific PTS Safety Analyses before a plant is within 3 years of reaching the Screening Criterion, including analyses of alternatives to minimize the PTS concern. .
  • Requires NRC approval for operation beyond the Screening Criterion. .

In the Rule, the NRC provides guidance regarding the calculation of the toughness state of the reactor vessel materials - the " reference temperature for nil ductility transition" (RTNDT). For purposes of the Rule, RTNDT is now defined as "the reference temperature for pressurized thermal shock" (RTPTS) and calculated as prescribed by 10 CFR 50.61(b) of the Rule. Each - USNRC licensed PWR must submit a projection of RT PTS values from the time of the submittal to the license expiration date. This assessment must be submitted within 6 months after the effective date of the Rule, on January 23, 1986, with updates whenever changes in core loadings, surveillance measurements, or other information indicate a significant change in projected values. The calculation must be made for each weld and plate, or forging, in the reactor vessel beltline. The purpose of this report is to provide the uen u RT PTS values for Indian Point Unit 3. , me.a= in 2

u e p .. ; g I.2 THE CALCULATION 0F RT PTS i I In-the PTS Rule, the NRC Staff has selected a conservative and uniform method for, determining plant-specificsvalues of RT PTS at:a given time. The prescribed equations in the PTS rule for calculating RT PTS are actually

               .one of.several ways to calculate RT NDT. For the purpose;of comparison with the Screening' Criterion, the value of RTPTS f r the reactor vessel must be calculated for each weld and plate, or forging in the beltline region as given below. For each material, RT PTS is the lower of the results given by Equations 1 and 2.

If a measured value is not available, the following-generic mean values must be used: 0*F for welds made with Linde 80. flux, and -56*F for welds made with Linde 0091, 1092 and 124 and ARCOS B-5 weld fluxes. M = the margin to be added to cover uncertainties in the values of initial RTNDT, copper and nickel content, fluence, and calculation procedures. In Equation 1, M=48"F if a measured value of I was used, and M=59'F if the generic mean value of I was used. In Equation 2, M=0*F if a measured value of

SECTION II. NEUTRON EXPOSURE EVALUATION

            -This section describes a discrete ordinates Sn transport analysis performed for the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor to determine the neutron radiation environment within the reactor vessel and surveillance capsules. Fast neutron

> . exposure parameters in terms of fast neutron fluence (E>1.0 MeV) and iron atom displacements (dpa) are established on a plant and fuel cycle specific basis for the first seven reactor operating fuel cycles; and, based on these evaluations, projections of vessel exposure for future operating periods using the most recent cycle design are estimated. Neutron dosimetry results from the first three surveillance capsules withdrawn from the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor are integrated with the analytically derived exposure values to provide an overall "best estimate" of the current and future exposure of the pressure vessel. The use of fast neutron fluence (E>1.0 MeV) to correlate measured material

   -         properties changes to the neutron exposure of the material for light water reactor applications has traditionally been accepted for development of damage trend curves as well as for the implementation of trend curve data to assess vessel condition. In recent years, however, it has been suggested that an exposure model that accounts for differences in neutr'on energy spectra among surveillance capsule locations and positions within the pressure vessel wall could lead to an improvement in the uncertainties associated with damage trend curves as well as to a more accurate evaluation of damage gradients through the pressure vessel wall.

Because of this potential shift away from a threshold fluence toward an energy dependent damage function for data correlation, ASTM Standard Practice E853,

              " Analysis and Interpretation of Light Water Reactor Surveillance Results",

recommends reporting iron atom displacements (dpa) along with fluence (E>1.0 MeV) to provide a data base for future reference. The energy dependent dpa function to be used for this evaluation is specified in ASTM Standard Practice E693, " Characterizing Neutron Exposures in Ferritic Steels in Terms of

   -          Displacements per Atom". The Application of the dpa parameter to the assessment of embrittlement gradients through the thickness of the pressure 3786s/08f 589 to                        5

section. 11.1- METHOD OF ANALYSIS In performing the fast neutron exposure evaluations for the Indian Point Unit

  '3 reactor pressure vessel, two distinct sets of transport calculations were carried out.- The first, a single computation in the conventional-forward mode, was used nrimarily to_obtain relative neutron energy distributions throughout the reactor geometry as well as'to establish relative radial distributions of. exposure parameters [ fluence (E>1.0 MeV) and dpa) through
  'the vessel wall. The neutron spectral information is required for the
   . interpretation of neutron dosimetry withdrawn from surveillance capsules as
                        ^

well as for.the determination of exposure parameter ratios; i.e., dpa/ fluence (E>1.0 MeV), within the pressure vessel geometry. The relative radial. . gradient information is required to permit the projection of measured exposure parameters to locations ~ interior to the pressure vessel. wall; i.e., the 1/4T, - 1/2T, and 3/4T locations. The second set of calculations consisted of a series of adjoint analyses relating the fast neutron flux (E>1.0 MeV) at surveillance capsule positions and several azimuthal locations on the pressure vessel. inner radius to neutron source distributions within the reactor core. The importance functions generated from these adjoint analyses provide the basis for all absolute exposure projections and comparison with measurement. These importance functions, when combined with cycle specific neutron source distributions, yielded' absolute predictions of neutron exposure at the locations of interest for.each of the first seven operating fuel cycles; and established the means to perform similar predictions and dosimetry evaluations for subsequent fuel i cycles. It is important to note that the cycle spec Uic neutron source . distributions utilized in tf ese analyses included not only spatial variations of fission rates within the reactor core; but, also accounted for the effects -

From a neutronic standpoint, the inclusion of the surveillance capsules in the analytical model is significant. Since the presence of the capsules and associated support structure has a marked impact on both the flux magnitude and energy spectra at dosimetry locations, a meaningful comparison of measurement and calculation can be made only if these perturbation effects are

                                                                                                               ~

two-dimensional discrete ordinates code [2] and the SAILOR cross-section library [3]. The SAILOR library is a 47 group ENDFB-IV based data set , produced specifically for light water reactor applications. In this analysis anisotropic scattering was treated with a P3 expansion of the scattering cross-sections and the angular discretization was modeled with an 58 order of angular quadrature. The reference forward calculation was normalized to a core midplane rower density characteristic of operation at a thermal power level of 3025 MWt. The reference core power distribution utilized in the forward analysis was derived from statistical studies of long term operation of Westinghouse 4-loop plants. Inherent in the development of this reference core power distribution is the use of an out-in fuel mananment strategy; i.e., fresh fuel on the core periphery. Furthermore, for the peripheral fuel assemblies, a 2 sigma uncertainty derived from the statistical evaluation of plant to plant and cycle to cycle variations in peripheral power was added to the nominal - assembly power level for all fuel assemblies adjacent to the core baffle plates. An axial peaking factor of 1.20 was also employed to scale the , axially averaged power distribution to the midplane value. Since it is unlikely that a single reactor would have a power distribution at the nominal

     + 2 sigma level and would maintain an axial peaking factor of 1.20 for a large number of cycles, the use of this reference case is expected to yield somewhat conservative results. This is especially true in cases where low leakage fuel I

management has been employed. The reference core power distribution data used in the analysis is provided in Appendix A to this report. The data listed in Appendix A represents cycle averaged assembly powers. All adjoint analyses were also carried out using a P3 cross-section approximation from the SAILOR library and an S8 order of angular quadrature. i Adjoint source locations were chosen at several locations at the pressure vessel inner radius and at the geometric center of surveillance capsules , positioned at 4 degrees and 40 degrees relative to the core cardinal axes. f Again, these calculations were run in R, Theta geometry to provide neutron -I source distribution importance functions for the exposure parameter of i 3786s/061060.10 g

          . Although the adjoint importance functions used in the Indian Point Unit 3 analyses were based on a response function defined by the threshold neutron r

flur.-(E > 1.0 MeV), prior calculations have shown that, while the-

  ,-          implementation of. low leakage loading patterns significantly impact the magnitude and spatial distribution of the neutron field, changes in the relative neutron energy spectrum are of second order. Thus, for a given location.the ratio of dpa/ fluence (E > 1.0 MeV) is insensitive to changing
           . core source-distributions. In the application of these importance functions to the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor, therefore, iron atom displacements (dpa) were computed on a cycle specific basis by using dpa/ fluence-(E.> 1.0 MeV) ratios.from the forward analysis in conjunction with the cycle specific fluence (E > 1.0 MeV) solutions from the individual adjoint evaluations.

The core power distributions used in the plant specific adjoint evaluations were taken from the appropriate fuel cycle design reports for the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor [4 through 10]. The data extracted from the design reports -

           -represented. cycle averaged relative assembly powers, burnups, and axial peaking factors. Therefore, the adjoint results provided data in terms of
           ' fuel cycle averaged neutron flux which, when multiplied by the appropriate fuel cycle length, in turn yielded the incremental fast neutron exposure for the fuel cycle. In constructing the cycle specific energy dependent source me.mmman                                            g

The transport methodology, both forward and adjoint, using the SAILOR cross section library has been benchmarked against' neutron dosimetry data obtained at the ORNL PCA facility [11). Extensive comparisons of analytical predictions with measurements from power reactor surveillance capsules and reactor cavity dosimetry programs have also been made.. The benchmarking studies. indicate that the use of SAILOR cross-sections and the generic reference core power distribution produces flux levels that tend to be conservative by from 7-22%. When plant specific' power distributions are used with the adjoint importance functions, the benchmarking studies show a tendency.to underpredict fluence levels at surveillance capsule positions by from 5-10%; while calculations applicable to reactor cavity locations tend to . be biased low by approximately 10-20% depending on the thickness of the pressure vessel.'In performing the exposure evaluation for the Indian Point - Unit'3 reactor the comparisons of predictions with' measurements obtained from

In regard to the cycle specific average flux and fluence levels listed in Tables 11.2-1 through 11.2-6,.it should be noted that the calculated neutron radiation levels have been multiplied by a factor of 1.086 to account for biases observed between cycle specific calculations and the results of neutron dosimetry for'the first three surveillance capsules [12,13,14] removed from the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor. The factor of 1.086 was derived by taking the average of the measurement to calculation. ratios (M/C) as follows. 4 CALCULATED MEASURED FLUENCE FLUENCE M/C 2 2 (n/cm ) (n/cm ) CAPSULE T 2.66E+18 2.99E+18 1.124 CAPSULE Y 7.03E+18 7.58E+18 1.078 CAPSULE Z 1.04E+19 1.10E+19 1.058

solid portinns of the fluence curves are based directly on the cycle specific q core loadings for the first six fuel cycles. The dashed portions of these , curves, however, involve a projection into the future. The neutron flux calculated for cycle 7 was used to project these future fluence levels. It should be noted that implementation of a more severe low leakage pattern than that represented by the cycle 7 loading pattern would reduce the projections of fluence at key locations. On the other hand, relaxation of the cycle 7 loading pattern or a return to out-in fuel management would increase those projections. The RTpts assessment must be updated per 10CFR50.61(b) [1] whenever, among other things, changes in core loadings significantly impact the fluence and RTpts projections. In Figure II.2-2, the azimuthal variation of maximum fast neutron (E > 1.0 MeV) fluence at the inner radius of the reactor vessel is presented. Data are depicted for both current (E0C 6) and projected conditions. In Table 11.2-7, . the relative radial variation of fast neutron flux and fluence within the reactor vessel wall is listed for the azimuthal locations of each of the key - vessel materials. Similar data showing the cycle specific relative axial variation of fast neutron flux and fluence over the beltline region of the reactor are included with the remainder of the cycle specific core power distribution information in Appendix A to this report. A two-dimensional description of the maximum fast neutron exposure of the reactor vessel wall can be constructed using the data given in Tables II.2-1 through II.2-7 along with the relation f(R,0) = f(e) F(R) , I where: f(R,0) = Fast neutron fluence at location R,0 within the reactor vessel wall 6(0) = Fast neutron fluence at azimuthal location r on the reactor vessel inner radius from Tables II.2-1 - j through II.2-4 me.mme.io 12 _ ___.___ .______ _______ _ _ m-_.-

If, in addition to the R, Theta variation of maximum neutron expc.sure, an axial variation ove'r the beltline region of the vessel.is desired, these distributions-can be constructed by using the cycle specific axial power distributions. listed in Appendix A and reintegrating over the appropriate irradiation periods. All of the best estimate fast neutron (E > 1.0 MeV) exposure data can be converted to iron atom displacements (dpa) by making use of the data listed in Tables 11.2-8 and II.2-9. The exposure parameter ratios given in Table 11.2-8 can be employed in conjunction with the fluence information from Tables II.2-1 through 11.2-4 to calculate the dpa values at the pressure vessel inner

  -         radius. Distributional information within the vessel wall may then be calculated by normalizing the inner radius values to the relative radial gradient data given in Table II.2-9.

1 . . SECTION III MATERIAL PROPERTIES For the RTPTS calculation, the best estimato copper and nickel chemical ' composition of the reactor vessel beltline material is necessary. - The material properties for the' Indian Point Unit 3 beltline region will. be presented in this section. III.1' IDENTIFICATION AND LOCATION OF BELTLINE REGION MATERIALS The beltline region is defined by the Rule [1] to be "the region of the reactor vessel (she11' 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.that are predicted to experience sufficient neutron irradiation damage to be considered in the selection of the most limiting' material with regard to radiation damage."

                                       ' Figure III.1-1 identifies the location of all beltline region materials for the reactor vessel.

III.2 DEFINITION AND SOURCE OF MATERIAL PROPERTIES FOR ALL VESSEL LOCATIONS Material property values for the shell plates, which have been docketed with the NRC in Reference 12, were derived from vessel fabrication test certificates. The property data for the welds were derived from weld qualification test records and have also been reported in Reference 15. The tests were performed by the reactor vessel vendor, Combustion Engineering (CE), at the time of fabrication. Fast neutron irradiation-induced changes in the tensile, fracture, and impact properties of reactor vessel materials are largely dependent on chemical i composition, particularly in the copper concentration. The variability in irradiation-induced property changes, which exists in general, is compounded by the variability of copper concentration within the weldments. 3786s/061000 10

                                                                              . 27

For'each weld in the Indian Point Unit 3 beltline region. a material data search was performed using the WDG Reactor Yessel Beltline Region Weld Materials Data Base. The WOG data base, which was developed in 1984 and is - continually being updated, contains information from weld qualification

                                                                                                                      ~
 -records (including those for Indian Point Unit 3), surveillance capsule reports, the B&W report BAW-1799, and the Materials Properties Council (MPC)-

and the NRC Mender MATSURV data bases. Searches were performed for materials having the identical weld wire heat number as those in the Indian Point Unit 3 vessel, but any combination of wire and flux was allowed. For all of the data found for a particular wire, the copper, nickel, phosphorous and silicon values were averaged and the standard deviations were calculated. Although phosphorous and silicon are not needed for the PTS Rule, they are provided for the sake of completeness. The information obtained from the data base searches is found in Appendix B. III.3

SUMMARY

OF PLANT-SPECIFIC MATERIAL PROPERTIES A summary of the pertinent chemical and mechanical properties of the beltline region plate and weld materials of the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel are . given in Table III.3-1. All of the initial RT NDT values (I) are given in Table III.3-1. The longitudinal weld initial RTNDT is the generic mean value as defined by the PTS rule [1]. The data in Table III.3-1 is used to evaluate the RTPTS values for the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel. l l 3786s/061080 10 2g

                               - function of several fluence values and pertinent vessel lifetimes. The
                                - tabulated results from the total evaluation are presented in Appendix C for
                               - all beltline region materials for both units.

l, f [ SECTION V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Calculations have been completed in order to submit RT PTS values for the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel in meeting the requirements of the NRC Rule for Pressurized Thermal Shock [1]. This work entailed a neutron exposure evaluation and a reactor vessel material study in order to determine the. RT PTS values. t Detailed fast neutron exposure evaluations using plant specific cycle by cycle core power dist,ributions and state of-the-art neutron transport methodology have been completed for the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel. Explicit calculations were' performed for the first fuel cycles. Projection of the fast neutron exposure beyond Cycle 6 was based on continued implementation of low leakage fuel management similar to that employed during cycle 7.

             ' Plant specific evaluations have demonstrated that during fuel cycles using out-in-in fuel management, the maximum fast neatron (E > 1.0 MeV) flux incident on the reactor vessel was, on the average, 12 percent less than predictions based on the design basis core power distributions. With regard to the low leakage fuel management strategy in place at Indian Point Unit 3, the plant specific evaluations have shown that the average fast neutron (E > 1.0 MeV) flux at the 45* azimuthal position (peak location) was reduced by 26 percent relative to that prior to the implementation of low leakage.

It should be noted that significant deviations from the low leakage scheme already in place will affect the exposure projections beyond the current operating cycle. A move toward a more severe form of low leakage (lower relative power on the periphery) would reduce the projection. On the other hand, a relaxation of the loading pattern toward higher relative power on the core periphery would increase the projections beyond those reported. As each future fuel cycle evolves, the loading patterns should be evaluated to determine their potential impact on projections made in this report. 3786s/061089 10 35

o [ j; The fast neutron-fluence values from the plant specific calculations have been ]! compared directly with measured fluence levels derived from neutron dosimetry contained in surveillance capsules withdrawn from Indian Point Unit 3. The

  • ratio of measured to calculated fluence values ranges from 1.058 to 1.124 for
                                                                                       ~

the three capsule data points. This reasonably good agreement between calculation and measurement supports the use of this analytical approach to perform a plant specific evaluation for the Indian Point-Unit 3 reactor. Material property values for the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel beltline region components were determined. The pertinent chemical and mechanical properties for the shell plates remain the same as those that were originally reported in the vessel fabrication test certificates. The weld material

  . properties are obtained from the WOG Material Data Base.

Using the prescribed PTS Rule methodology, RTPTS values were generated for all beltline region materials of the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel as a function cf several fluence values and pertinent vessel lifetimes. All of the RT values remain below the NRC screening values for PTS using the . PTS projected fluence exposure through the expiration date of the operating license. The most limiting value at end of-license is 264*F for the lower - shell plate B2803-3. A review of the material properties of shell plate B2803-3 indicates that a high initial value of RTNDT is the primary facto ~r causing the high RT PTS value. The results in this report are provided to enable New York Power Authority to comply with the requirements of the PTS rule. mwosme.in 36

APPENDIX A i - CORE POWER DISTRIBUTIONS Core power distributions used in the plant specific fast neutron exposure analysis of the Indian Point Unit 3 reactor vessel were derived from the following fuel cycle nuclear design reports: Fuel Cycle Nuclear Design Report 1 WCAP-8360 2 WCAP-9244 3 WCAP-9599 4 WCAP-10051 5 WCAP-10839 6 WCAP-11537 7 WCAP-12169 A schematic diagram of the core configuration applicable to Indian Point Unit 3 is shown in Figure A-1. Cycle averaged relative assembly powers for each fuel cycle are listed in Table A-1 along with the design basis core power distribution. On Figure A-1 and in Table A-1 an identification number is assigned to each fuel assembly location. Three regions consisting of subsets of fuel assemblies are defined. In performing the adjoint evaluations, the relative power in the fuel assemblies comprising Region 3 has been adjusted to account for known biases in the prediction of power in the peripheral fuel assemblies while the relative power in the fuel assemblies comprising Region 2 has been maintained at the cycle average value. Due to the extreme self-shielding of the reactor core neutrons born in the fuel assemblies comprising Region 1 do not contribute significantly to the neutron exposure of either the surveillance capsules or the reactor vessel. Therefore, core power distribution data for fuel assemblies in Region 1 are not listed in Table A-1. mwostoano A-1
