Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 viii WCAP-18795-NP December 2022 Revision 0 EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

The purpose of this report is to document the testing results of surveillance Capsule N from Prairie Island Unit 2. Capsule N was removed at 40.64 effective full-power years (EFPY) and post-irradiation mechanical tests of the Charpy V-notch and tensile specimens were performed. A fluence evaluation utilizing the neutron transport and dosimetry cross-section libraries was derived from the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF) database (specifically, ENDF/B-VI). Capsule N received a fluence of 8.41 x 1019 n/cm2 (E >

1.0 MeV) after irradiation to 40.64 EFPY. The peak clad/base metal interface vessel fluence at 54 EFPY (end-of-license extension) of plant operation is projected to be 5.66 x 1019 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV).

This evaluation led to the following conclusions: (1) The measured shifts in the 30 ft-lb transition temperature of all the surveillance materials, i.e., the surveillance forging (tangential and axial orientations),

the surveillance weld material, and Correlation Monitor Material (CMM) contained in Prairie Island Unit 2 Capsule N are higher than the Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 [1], Position 1.1 predictions. (2) The measured percent decreases in upper-shelf energy of all the surveillance materials, i.e., the Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) (tangential and axial orientations), surveillance weld material (Heat # 2721), and CMM, are less than the Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2, Position 1.2 predictions. (3) The Prairie Island Unit 2 surveillance forging data is deemed non-credible, while the surveillance weld data is deemed to be credible. This credibility evaluation can be found in Appendix D.

Lastly, a brief summary of the Charpy V-notch testing can be found in Section 1. All Charpy V-notch data was plotted using a symmetric hyperbolic tangent curve-fitting program.

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS The analysis of the reactor vessel materials contained in surveillance Capsule N, the fifth capsule removed and tested from the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor pressure vessel, led to the following conclusions:

Charpy V-notch test data were plotted using a symmetric hyperbolic tangent curve-fitting program.

Appendix C presents the CVGRAPH, Version 6.02, Charpy V-notch plots for Capsule N, along with data from the program baseline and previous capsules.

Capsule N received an average fast neutron fluence (E > 1.0 MeV) of 8.41 x 1019 n/cm2 after 40.64 effective full-power years (EFPY) of plant operation.

Irradiation of the reactor vessel Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) Charpy specimens, oriented with the longitudinal axis of the specimen parallel to the major working direction (tangential orientation), resulted in an irradiated 30 ft-lb transition temperature of 148.2F. This results in a 30 ft-lb transition temperature increase of 176.5F for the tangentially oriented specimens.

Irradiation of the reactor vessel Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) Charpy specimens, oriented with the longitudinal axis of the specimen perpendicular to the major working direction (axial orientation), resulted in an irradiated 30 ft-lb transition temperature of 152.9F. This results in a 30 ft-lb transition temperature increase of 154.1F for the axially oriented specimens.

Irradiation of the surveillance program weld material (Heat # 2721, Flux Type UM89, Lot # 1263)

Charpy specimens resulted in an irradiated 30 ft-lb transition temperature of 59.5F. This results in a 30 ft-lb transition temperature increase of 135.6F for the surveillance program weld material specimens.

Irradiation of the reactor vessel heat-affected zone (HAZ) material Charpy specimens resulted in an irradiated 30 ft-lb transition temperature of 10.9F. This results in a 30 ft-lb transition temperature increase of 145.5F for the HAZ material specimens.

Irradiation of the reactor vessel Correlation Monitor Material (CMM) Charpy specimens resulted in an irradiated 30 ft-lb transition temperature of 259.9F. This results in a 30 ft-lb transition temperature increase of 212.9F for the CMM specimens.

The average upper-shelf energy of Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) (tangential orientation) resulted in an average energy decrease of 22.7 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 125 ft-lb for the tangentially oriented specimens.

The average upper-shelf energy of Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) (axial orientation) resulted in an average energy decrease of 17.2 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 89 ft-lb for the axially oriented specimens.

      • This record was final approved on 12/14/2022, 8:08:16 AM. (This statement was added by the PRIME system upon its validation)

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 1-2 WCAP-18795-NP December 2022 Revision 0 The average upper-shelf energy of the surveillance program weld material (Heat # 2721) Charpy specimens resulted in an average energy decrease of 8.3 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 95 ft-lb for the surveillance program weld material specimens.

The average upper-shelf energy of the HAZ material Charpy specimens resulted in an average energy decrease of 32 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 82 ft-lb for the HAZ material.

The average upper-shelf energy of the CMM Charpy specimens resulted in an average energy decrease of 41.4 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 79 ft-lb for the CMM specimens.

Comparisons of the measured 30 ft-lb shift in transition temperature values and upper-shelf energy decreases to those predicted by Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2 [1] for the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor vessel surveillance materials are presented in Table 5-12.

Based on the credibility evaluation presented in Appendix D, the Prairie Island Unit 2 surveillance plate data is deemed non-credible, while the surveillance weld material data is deemed credible.

The maximum calculated 54 EFPY (end-of-license extension) neutron fluence (E > 1.0 MeV) for the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor vessel beltline using the Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2 [1] attenuation formula (i.e., Equation # 3 in the Guide) and a vessel thickness of 6.692 inches are as follows:

Calculated (54 EFPY):

Vessel peak clad/base metal interface fluence* = 5.66 x 1019 n/cm2 Vessel peak quarter-thickness (1/4T) fluence = 3.79 x 1019 n/cm2 Vessel peak three-quarter thickness (3/4T) fluence = 1.70 x 1019 n/cm2

  • This fluence value is determined from data in Table 6-5.

INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of the examination of Capsule N, the fifth capsule removed and tested in the continuing surveillance program, which monitors the effects of neutron irradiation on the Xcel Energy Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor pressure vessel materials under actual operating conditions.

The surveillance program for the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor pressure vessel materials was designed and recommended by Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. A detailed description of the surveillance program is contained in WCAP-8193 [2], Northern States Power Co. Prairie Island Unit No. 2 Reactor Vessel Radiation Surveillance Program. The surveillance program was originally planned to cover the 40-year design life of the reactor pressure vessel and was based on ASTM E185-70 [3], Standard Recommended Practice for Surveillance Tests for Nuclear Reactor Vessels. Capsule N was removed from the reactor at 40.64 effective full-power years (EFPY) of exposure and shipped to the Westinghouse Churchill Laboratory, where the post-irradiation mechanical testing of the Charpy V-notch impact and tensile surveillance specimens was performed.

This report summarizes the testing and post-irradiation data obtained from surveillance Capsule N removed from the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor vessel and presents the analysis of the data.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 3-1 WCAP-18795-NP December 2022 Revision 0 3

BACKGROUND The ability of the large steel pressure vessel containing the reactor core and its primary coolant to resist fracture constitutes an important factor in ensuring safety in the nuclear industry. The beltline region of the reactor pressure vessel is the most critical region of the vessel because it is subjected to significant fast neutron bombardment. The overall effects of fast neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of low-alloy, ferritic pressure vessel steels such as A508 Class 3 (base material of the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor pressure vessel beltline) are well documented in the literature. Generally, low-alloy ferritic materials show an increase in hardness and tensile properties and a decrease in ductility and toughness during high-energy irradiation.

A method for ensuring the integrity of reactor pressure vessels has been presented in Fracture Toughness Criteria for Protection Against Failure, Appendix G to Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code [4]. The method uses fracture mechanics concepts and is based on the reference nil-ductility transition temperature (RTNDT).

RTNDT is defined as the greater of either the drop-weight nil-ductility transition temperature (NDTT) per American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) E208 [5] or the temperature 60F less than the 50 ft-lb (and 35-mil lateral expansion) temperature as determined from Charpy specimens oriented perpendicular (axial) to the major working direction of the plate. The RTNDT of a given material is used to index that material to a reference stress intensity factor curve (KIc curve) which appears in Appendix G to Section XI of the ASME Code [4]. The KIc curve is a lower bound of static fracture toughness results obtained from several heats of pressure vessel steel. When a given material is indexed to the KIc curve, allowable stress intensity factors can be obtained for this material as a function of temperature. Allowable operating limits can then be determined using these allowable stress intensity factors.

RTNDT and, in turn, the operating limits of nuclear power plants, are adjusted to account for the effects of radiation on the reactor vessel material properties. The changes in mechanical properties of a given reactor pressure vessel steel, due to irradiation, are monitored by a reactor vessel surveillance program, such as the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor vessel radiation surveillance program, in which a surveillance capsule is periodically removed from the operating nuclear reactor and the encapsulated specimens are tested. The increase in the average Charpy V-notch 30 ft-lb temperature (RTNDT) due to irradiation is added to the initial RTNDT, along with a margin (M) to cover uncertainties, to adjust the RTNDT (ART) for radiation embrittlement. This ART (initial RTNDT + M + RTNDT) is used to index the material to the KIc curve and, in turn, to set operating limits for the nuclear power plant that take into account the effects of irradiation on the reactor vessel materials.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM Six surveillance capsules for monitoring the effects of neutron exposure on the Prairie Island Unit 2 reactor pressure vessel core region (beltline) materials were inserted in the reactor vessel prior to initial plant startup. The six capsules were positioned in the reactor vessel between the thermal shield and the vessel wall as shown in Figure 4-1. The test capsules are in baskets attached to the thermal shield. The vertical center of the capsules is opposite the vertical center of the core. The capsules contain specimens made from the following:

Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) - Tangential Orientation Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) - Axial Orientation Surveillance Weld Metal (Weld Wire Type UM40, Heat # 2721, Flux Type UM89, Lot # 1263)

Heat Affected Zone material of Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642)

Correlation Monitor Material Test material from Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) was heat-treated with the shell. All test specimens were machined from the 1/4 thickness location of the forging after performing a simulated post-weld stress-relieving treatment on the test material. Test material was taken at least one forging thickness (6.692 inches) from the quenched edges of the forging. Test specimens were also machined from weld metal and the heat affected zone metal of stress-relieved weldment joining sections of the Intermediate and Lower Shell forgings. All heat-affected zone specimens were obtained from the weld heat-affected zone of Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642). The A533 Grade B Class 1 material (HSST Plate 02) for the CMM test specimens was supplied by the Oak Ridge Laboratory from a 12-inch thick plate.

Charpy V-notch impact specimens from Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) were machined in both the tangential orientation (the longitudinal axis of the specimen parallel to the major working direction) and also in the axial orientation (the longitudinal axis of the specimen perpendicular to the major working direction). The weld specimens were machined from the weldment such that the long dimension of the Charpy was normal to the weld direction where the notch was machined such that the direction of crack propagation was in the weld direction.

Tensile test specimens from the surveillance forging were machined with the longitudinal axis of the specimen in the hoop direction (tangential) and also normal to the hoop direction (axial) of the shell ring forging.

Wedge Opening Loading (WOL) test specimens were machined in a tangential direction so that the loading of the specimen would be in the major working direction of the forging with the simulated crack propagating in the axial direction. In addition, axial specimens were machined so that the loading of the specimens would be in the axial direction of the forging with the simulated crack propagating in the major working direction. All specimens were fatigue pre-cracked per ASTM E399 [6].

Capsule N contained dosimeters of pure iron, copper, nickel, and aluminum-0.15 weight percent cobalt wire (cadmium-shielded and unshielded). In addition, cadmium-shielded dosimeters of neptunium (237Np)

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 4-2 WCAP-18795-NP December 2022 Revision 0 and uranium (238U) were placed in the capsules to measure the integrated flux at specific neutron energy levels.

Thermal monitors comprised of low melting-point eutectic alloy specimens sealed in Pyrex tubes were also included in the capsule. These thermal monitors were used to define the maximum temperature attained by the test specimens during irradiation. The composition of the two eutectic alloys and their melting points are as follows:

2.5% Ag, 97.5% Pb Melting point: 579°F (304°C) 1.75% Ag, 0.75% Sn, 97.5% Pb Melting point: 590°F (310°C)

The chemical composition and the heat treatment of the various mechanical specimens in Capsule N are presented in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2, respectively. The data in the tables was obtained from surveillance capsule report WCAP-14613 [16].

Capsule N was removed after 40.64 EFPY of plant operation. The capsule contained Charpy V-notch specimens, tensile specimens, WOL specimens, dosimeters, and thermal monitors.

The arrangement of the various specimens, dosimeters, and thermal monitors contained in Capsule N is shown in Figure 4-2.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 5-1 WCAP-18795-NP December 2022 Revision 0 5

TESTING OF SPECIMENS FROM CAPSULE N 5.1 OVERVIEW The post-irradiation mechanical testing of the Charpy V-notch impact specimens and tensile specimens was performed at the Westinghouse Churchill Hot Cell Facility. Testing was performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix H [9] and ASTM Specification E185-82 [10].

Capsule N was opened upon receipt at the hot cell laboratory. The specimens and spacer blocks were carefully removed, inspected for identification number, and checked against the master list in WCAP-8193

[2] and shown in Figure 4-2. All of the items were in their proper locations.

The temperature monitors were removed from the capsule compartments and were photographed and visually examined for evidence of melting. Visual examination revealed no definitive evidence indicating that the capsule experienced temperatures in excess of 579°F.

Charpy V-notch testing was performed per ASTM E185-82 [10] and ASTM E23-18 [11] on a Tinius-Olsen Model 74, with 358J capacity impact test machine. The Charpy machine striker was instrumented with an Instron0F1 Impulse system. Instrumented testing and calibration were performed to ASTM E2298-18 [12].

The instrumented striker load signal data acquisition rate was 819 kHz with data acquired for 10 ms. From the load-time curve, the load of general yield load (Fgy), the maximum load (Fm) and the time to maximum load were determined. Under some test conditions, a sharp drop in load, indicative of fast fracture, was observed. The load at which fast fracture was initiated is identified as the load at brittle fracture initiation/load at initiation of unstable crack propagation (Fbf). The termination load after the fast load drop is identified as the arrest load/load at end of unstable crack propagation (Fa). Fgy, Fm, Fbf, and Fa were determined per the guidance in ASTM Standard E2298-18 [12].

The maximum load energy (Wm) was determined by integrating the load-time record to the maximum load point via the instrumented Charpy software. The maximum load energy is approximately equivalent to the energy required to initiate a crack in the specimen. The integrated total impact energy (Wt) is compared to the absorbed energy measured from the dial energy (KV).

Percent shear was determined from post-fracture photographs using the ratio-of-areas method in compliance with ASTM E23-18 [11] and A370-18 [13]. The lateral expansion was measured using a dial gage rig similar to that shown in the same ASTM Standards.

Tensile tests were performed on a 250 kN capacity Instron screw driven tensile machine (Model 5985) equipped with Instron Bluehill 3 Software and an Instron 22.48 kip load cell per ASTM E185-82 [10].

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 5-2 WCAP-18795-NP December 2022 Revision 0 Testing met ASTM Specifications E8/E8M-16a [14] for room temperature or E21-17 [15] for elevated temperatures.

The tensile specimens were, nominally, 4.2 inches long with a 1.00 inch gauge section and a reduced section of 1.25 inches long by 0.250 inches in diameter, as noted in WCAP-8193 [2]. Strain measurements were made using an extensometer (equipped with a Columbia Research Labs LVDT), which was attached to the 1.00 inch gauge section of the tensile specimen. The strain rate (crosshead speed controlled) obtained met the requirements of ASTM E8/E8M-16a [14] and ASTM E21-17 [15].

Elevated test temperatures were obtained with a three-zone electric resistance split-tube Instron SF-16 furnace with an 11-inch hot zone with an Instron TCS 3203 temperature controller. For the elevated temperature tests, two Type-N thermocouples were placed in contact with the specimens on both ends of the gauge-length section of the specimen per ASTM E21-17 [15]. Tensile specimens were soaked at temperature (+/- 5ºF) for a minimum of 20 minutes before testing. All testing was conducted in air.

The yield load, ultimate load, fracture load, uniform elongation, and elongation at fracture were determined directly from the load-extension curve. The yield strength (0.2% offset method), ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strength were calculated using the original cross-sectional area. Yield point elongation (YPE) was calculated as the difference in strain between the upper yield strength and the onset of uniform strain hardening using the methodology described in ASTM E8/E8M-16a [14]. The final diameter and final gauge length were determined from post-fracture photographs. This final diameter measurement was used to calculate the fracture stress (fracture true stress) and the percent reduction in area. The reported total elongation is the elongation at fracture.

All testing equipment was calibrated per Westinghouse procedures and in accordance with the ASTM standards cited herein. Records of calibration are available at Westinghouse.

5.2 CHARPY V-NOTCH IMPACT TEST RESULTS The results of the Charpy V-notch impact tests performed on the various materials contained in Capsule N, which received a fluence of 8.41 x 1019 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV) in 40.64 EFPY of operation, are presented in Tables 5-1 through 5-10 and are compared with the unirradiated and previously withdrawn capsule results as shown in Figures 5-1 through 5-15. The unirradiated capsule results were taken from WCAP-8193 [2].

Results from the previous capsules were obtained from WCAP-14613 [16] and confirmed to be applicable or updated as appropriate. The previous capsules, along with the original program unirradiated material input data, were updated using CVGRAPH, Version 6.02.

The transition temperature increases and decreases in upper-shelf energies for the Capsule N materials are summarized in Table 5-11 and led to the following results:

The average upper-shelf energy of Lower Shell Forging D (Heat # 22642) (axial orientation) resulted in an average energy decrease of 17.2 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 89.0 ft-lb for the axially oriented specimens.

The average upper-shelf energy of the surveillance program weld material (Heat # 2721) Charpy specimens resulted in an average energy decrease of 8.3 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 95.0 ft-lb for the weld specimens.

The average upper-shelf energy of the HAZ material Charpy specimens resulted in an average energy decrease of 32.0 ft-lb after irradiation. This decrease results in an irradiated average upper-shelf energy of 82.0 ft-lb for the HAZ specimens.

1.

Based on Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 [1], methodology using the capsule fluence and best-estimate weight percent values of copper and nickel of the surveillance material. For the predicted USE decrease determinations, the Cu weight percentages were conservatively rounded up to the lowest line (Cu weight % of 0.10 for base metal and 0.05 for weld metal) in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, Figure 2. Also note that for Capsule N, the fluence value is slightly beyond the scale in Figure 2; therefore, the predicted USE was extrapolated from the available data in the figure.

2.

Calculated using measured Charpy data (See Appendix C).

3.

Physically, an increase in USE should not occur after irradiation. Therefore, a conservative 0% decrease value is shown here instead of the measured increase.
