Duke Energy Letter (RA-23-0055), dated March 24, 2023, Notice of Intent to Pursue Subsequent License Renewal for H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit Number 2, (ADAMS Accession Number ML23083b312)
The purpose of this letter is to transmit two Topical Reports (TRs), for review and approval in accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) TR program.
1.
WCAP-18909-NP, Revision 1, March 2024 Determination of T0 for H.B. Robinson Unit 2 Heat number W5214, Linde 1092 Weld Metal Based on Unirradiated Data, and 2.
WCAP-18933-NP, Revision 0, March 2024 Determination of T0 for H.B. Robinson Unit 2 Heat number 5214 Weld Metal and Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 Based on Available Irradiated Data WCAP-18909-NP, Revision 1, March 2024, and WCAP-18933-NP, Revision 0, March 2024 will be used and referenced in a future application for Subsequent Renewed Operating Licenses for H.B. Robinson Unit 2 (HBR2). Duke Energy Progress intends to submit a Subsequent License Renewal Application (SLRA) in support of a Renewed Operating License for HBR2 in accordance with 10 CFR Part 54, "Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, by second quarter of 2025 (Reference 1).
Topical Report WCAP-18909-NP Summary The purpose of WCAP-18909-NP is to report the measured initial (unirradiated) reference temperatures, and associated margins, for the HBR2 Heat number W5214, Linde 1092 weld material using the fracture toughness-based Master Curve method specified in ASTM E1921-16.
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section III, NB-2331(a)(5) describes how to use the transition temperature fracture toughness (T0), determined per ASTM E1921, as
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission RA-24-0080 Page 2 alternative to Charpy or Drop weight testing to determine the Fracture Toughness-Based Reference Temperature (RTT0).
HBR2 intends to use the information in WCAP-18909-NP to validate the requirements for Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS). Since the intent is to use this information for confirmation of PTS, testing was completed in compliance with the 2016 edition of ASTM E1921, as specified by the 2019 edition of ASME Section III.
The HBR2 Reactor Pressure Vessel Surveillance Program includes weld 10-273, Heat number W5214, within Capsules X, V, and T. However, all of this material has been irradiated.
Therefore, in order to provide unirradiated data for weld Heat number W5214, Linde 1092 material, weld specimens from Palisades Nuclear Plant Steam Generator A were machined into miniature compact fracture toughness specimens and tested.
Topical Report WCAP-18933-NP Summary The purpose of WCAP-18933-NP is to determine reference temperatures (and associated margins) for the HBR2 Heat number W5214 Weld Metal and Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 using the fracture toughness-based Master Curve method. The Master Curve method provides an alternative and more realistic reference temperature than the typical ASME Code Section III NB-2331 method based upon Charpy impact and drop weight data for determining the Reference Temperature for Nil-Ductility Transition (RTNDT).
WCAP-18933-NP provides a summary of the Master Curve testing completed on HBR2 Heat number W5214 Weld Metal and Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 materials irradiated in HBR2 Surveillance Capsule X.
HBR2 intends to use the information in WCAP-18933-NP to validate that the operating window in the Pressure-Temperature (P-T) limit curves is adequate for 80 years of plant operation.
Since the intent is to use this information in relationship with the P-T limit curves, testing was completed in accordance with the 2019 Edition of ASME Section XI, which references use of ASTM E1921-17.
Testing was confirmed to be in compliance with both the 2016 and 2017 editions of ASTM E1921. In addition, the results from the previously tested weld Heat number W5214 from Capsule SA-60-1, that was irradiated in Palisades Nuclear Plant, were incorporated.
Limits of Applicability The master curve approach is used to definitively determine the T0 with an increased certainty by testing fracture toughness specimens. The methodology in both WCAP reports provides the technical basis for the PTS evaluation that will be provided in HBR2 SLRA Section 4.2.3 and the P-T limit curves evaluation that will be provided in HBR2 SLRA section 4.2.4. Additionally, these reports will support the Reactor Vessel Materials Surveillance Aging Management Program in HBR2 SLRA Appendix A2.1.19 and Appendix B2.1.19.
WCAP-18909-NP is applicable to HBR2 SLRA Section 4.2.3, PTS for determining the RTT0.
WCAP-18909-NP and WCAP-18933-NP are applicable to HBR2 SLRA Section 4.2.4, P-T Limits for determining RTT0 values, accounting for anticipated reactor vessel fluence projections for 80 years of operation to demonstrate that the predicted operating window is sufficient to conduct heat-up and cooldown.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission RA-24-0080 Page 3 Regulatory Basis The fracture toughness of the reactor pressure vessel provides a key input to calculations to demonstrate the fracture integrity of the vessel during both normal operations and postulated accident conditions. The use of Master Curve-based approaches is consistent with the NRCs goal of moving toward a risk informed framework for rule and decision-making. The Master Curve provides best estimates of fracture toughness and features an explicit consideration of uncertainty.
The 2017 and 2019 Editions of ASME Code Section XI have incorporated Master Curve methodology. ASTM E1921-17 Standard, referenced in ASME Section XI 2019 Edition, describes how to measure an index temperature for the Master Curve (T0), incorporating a modern understanding of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. The 2019 Edition of ASME Code Section III has incorporated Master Curve methodology. ASTM E1921-16 Standard, referenced in ASME Section III 2019 Edition, describes how to measure an index temperature for the Master Curve (T0), incorporating a modern understanding of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics.
The methodologies in the 2016 and 2017 ASTM E1921 editions are equivalent.
NRC Review Schedule WCAP-18909-NP, and WCAP-18933-NP are being submitted to the NRC for review and approval prior to the HBR2 submittal of an SLRA in support of a renewed operating license for HBR2. This will allow sufficient time for NRC to complete their reviews of the methodology for HBR2 Heat number W5214, Linde 1092 weld material and Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 and its application for evaluating Time Limiting Aging Analyses of PTS and P-T Limits. Duke Energy Progress requests that NRC complete their reviews of WCAP-18909-NP and WCAP-18933-NP by March 2025.
There are no regulatory commitments within this letter or its enclosures.
Should you have any questions concerning this submittal, please contact Paul Guill at paul.guill@duke-energy.com.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 1-1 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 1
INTRODUCTION The fracture toughness of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel in a nuclear plant provides a key input to calculations that commercial licensees perform to demonstrate the fracture integrity of the vessel during both normal operations and postulated accident conditions (e.g., pressurized thermal shock, or PTS).
Currently, the ASME KIc curve is indexed to Reference Temperature for Nil-Ductility Transition (RTNDT) to describe the fracture toughness of the RPV and its variance with temperature. These curves were adopted in 1972 as a lower bound representation of a set of approximately 173 linear elastic fracture toughness values of RPV steel. The use of RTNDT to normalize temperature was intended to account for the heat-to-heat differences in fracture toughness transition temperature, thereby collapsing the fracture toughness data onto a single curve. However, indexing KIc to RTNDT is not a direct measure of fracture toughness but provides a conservative characterization of fracture toughness. The master curve approach is a true fracture toughness-based method that can be used to definitively determine the transition temperature fracture toughness (T0) with an increased certainty by testing fracture toughness specimens.
The purpose of this report is to report the measured initial (unirradiated) reference temperatures, and associated margins, for the H.B. Robinson Unit 2 (HBR2) Heat # W5214, Linde 1092 weld material using the fracture toughness-based Master Curve method specified in ASTM E1921-16. ASME Section III, NB-2331(a)(5) describes how to use the T0, determined per ASTM E1921, as alternative to Charpy or Drop weight testing to determine the fracture toughness-based reference temperature (RTT0).
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) permits the use of RTT0 as an alternative to RTNDT through its approval of the 2019 Edition of ASME Section III and ASME Section XI in 10 CFR 50.55a. Both specify that T0 must be determined using ASTM E1921. ASME Section III, Table NCA-7100-2 establishes the ASTM E1921-16 as the official version for use with Section III. ASME,Section XI, Table IWA-1600-1 establishes the ASTM E1921-17 as the official version for use with Section XI. The methodologies in the 2016 and 2017 editions are equivalent. This report cites the 2016 edition, but the results are equally valid for 2017 edition. 10 CFR 50.55a Section (b)(2)(xliii) requires that T0 and RTT0 values used for ASME Section XI purposes be submitted to the NRC for review and approval. There is no equivalent condition for ASME Section III.
The HBR2 RPV Surveillance Program includes weld 10-273, Heat W5214, within Capsules X, V, and T.
However, all of this material has been irradiated. Therefore, in order to provide unirradiated data for weld Heat # W5214, Linde 1092 material, weld specimens from Palisades Steam Generator A were machined into miniature compact fracture toughness (mini-CT) specimens and tested. Section 2 presents the results of the ASTM E1921-16 transition temperature fracture toughness testing. The data from testing is provided in Appendix A. Section 3 describes the T0 calculation methodology.
In addition, MRP-127 reports the Master Curve testing results of specimens of Heat # W5214, Linde 1092, that were previously tested according to ASTM E1921-97. The results are reevaluated according to the ASTM E1921-16 methodologies in Section 4.
Section 5 outlines a method to adjust unirradiated T0 to account for irradiation induced embrittlement for use in 10 CFR 50, Appendix G Pressure-Temperature curves and 10 CFR 50.61, Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) evaluations.

FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTING AND RESULTS To determine the Master Curve fracture toughness reference temperature, T0, testing was completed in accordance with ASTM E1921-16 [Ref. 1]. This section serves to provide an overview of the testing which was completed. Table 2-1 summarizes the results based on the multi-temperature analysis. The measured fracture toughness data is plotted in Figure 2-1 and the detailed calculation of T0, per the methodology described in Section 3.1, is shown in Table 2-2. The data from testing is provided in Appendix A.

(b) ASME III, NB-2331(a)(5) requires twice the margin adjustment defined in ASTM E1921 be added to cover the uncertainty associated with the limited number of specimens tested to establish T0. However, per NB-2331(e), the effects of irradiation must be considered as well, which are not directly addressed by NB-2331(a)(5). The NRC guidance in RG 1.99 requires that the measurement adjustment be combined with the uncertainty associated with the embrittlement shift.
The application of the RG 1.99 guidance is provided in Section 5 of this report.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 2-4 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 2.1 SOURCE AND VALIDATION OF SPECIMEN MATERIAL In order obtain unirradiated Heat # W5214, Linde 1092 specimens Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL),
provided Block AY W5214 Weld Metal previously harvested from the retired Palisades Steam Generator (SG) A. This block was removed as part of Consumers Power Companys efforts to demonstrate compliance with the PTS rule circa 1994. At that time, Consumers Power Company evaluated the applicability of this SG weld material to the Palisades Reactor RPV Heat # W5214 weld material and documented it in correspondence with the NRC [Ref. 3]. The comparison of the SG-A chemistry concluded that the weld would embrittle in the same manner as the RPV weld. The post weld heat treatment was different from the Palisades RPV (Table 2-4) and so the Charpy transition temperature curve was compared to the weld Heat # W5214 taken from Indian Point Unit 2, Indian Point Unit 3, and Robinson Unit 2 welds.
The unirradiated 30 ft-lbs transition temperature of the SG-A weld is about 30°F higher than the RPV welds and therefore the SG transition temperature is conservative with respect to RPV welds. To demonstrate the applicability of the Palisades SG-A specimens to HBR2 RPV welds with Heat # W5214, the chemistry measurements and Charpy V-Notch (CVN) specimens were taken from the same Block AY provided by ORNL.
The chemistry results are shown in Table 2-3 and compared to the HBR2 RPV best estimate values and previous measurements from the Palisades Steam Generator A. The Block AY measurements were taken by atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) on broken CVN specimens AY2 and AY4 near the fracture surface.
These specimens were located at least 1/2 from fusion boundaries, weld roots, and weld surfaces with one specimen from each side of the weld root as shown in Figure 2-6. The Ni value for AY2 was outside expectations compared to AY4, HBR2 RPV, and other Palisades measurements. Additional measurements were taken from the broken CVN specimens using the Churchill bench top X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) semi-quantitative technique. XRF analysis was then performed on the other CVN samples showing that both AY2 and AY3 showed lower Ni than expected, while all the other samples were within expectations. It was concluded that these 2 CVN specimens nearest the root may not be representative of the Ni-200 addition W5214 weld (See Figure 2-6). Therefore, mini-CT specimens machined from AY2 and AY3, both of which showed lower Ni, are not used to calculate T0.
The Charpy impact testing was conducted according to ASTM E23-2002a [Ref. 8], Standard Test Methods for Notched Bar Impact Testing of Metallic Materials. The results of the ASTM E23-2002a CVN impact tests for total 6 samples at -40F (0C) and 0 F (-17.8C) are summarized in Table 2-5. The fracture surfaces of broken CVN samples, both sides, were photographed and are presented in Figure 2-2. CVN impact test results are compared to CVN test results from the Robinson reactor vessel surveillance program (RVSP),
WCAP-7373 [Ref. 9], and the Palisades SG-A results reported by AEA [Ref. 10]. Figure 2-3 compares the current test results to the Robinson RVSP baseline testing with reasonable agreement. Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5 compare the current test results to the AEA for two orientations. Note the two orientations considered by AEA is somewhat redundant, as typically, orientation is not considered critical in CVN testing for welds; thus, it is not considered in WCAP-7373. Both AEA stated orientations agree acceptably with Block AY. The tests support following conclusions:
the block labeled as AY provided by ORNL is from the Palisades SG-A weld, and the mini-CT test results are representative the unirradiated/initial toughness for the HBR2 welds of Heat # W5214, Linde 1092.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 2-10 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 2.2 SPECIMEN GEOMETRY Six CVN specimens were machined from Block AY as shown in Figure 2-6. The weld CVN specimens were machined in order to be oriented with crack growth parallel to the weld groove and perpendicular to the etched machined surface with the test volume farthest away from the cut surface, which is appeared to be flame cut. Specimens were 1/2 or more from the weld top and bottom surfaces and root according to ASTM E185-82 [Ref. 11]. Schematic of the CVN samples is shown in Figure 2-7.
The miniature compact tension (mini-CT) specimens were machined from tested/broken CVN samples, four specimens per CVN specimen (two specimens from each half of each CVN sample). The schematic of the mini-CT specimens is shown in Figure 2-8. This resulted in twenty-four mini-CT specimens from the six broken CVN samples as shown in Figure 2-6. Mini-CT specimens were machined with orientation with crack growth parallel to the fracture surface and perpendicular to the length of the tested Charpy samples consistent with the CVN notches. The mini-CT specimens were removed from the weld metal with a reasonable distance from the fracture surfaces and plastic deformation of the notch tip during Charpy test.
An example of mini-CT specimens machined from a CVN is shown in Figure 2-9.

The pre-cracks were monitored to ensure a straight crack was produced. After the ASTM E1921 testing, the pre-crack final crack length was determined using a photo system at various locations on the crack front. The maximum Kmax value is calculated using the actual initial and final maximum pre-crack load. The maximum pre-crack load being 292 lbs to start with 124 lbs at the end.
ASTM E1921-16, Section 7.8.2, limits the initial Kmax to 25 MPam, and limits the final Kmax from pre-cracking to 20 MPam for tests conducted at or above the pre-cracking temperature and 15 MPam for tests conducted below pre-cracking temperature. The Kmax for each test met these requirements within 1 MPam except for specimen AY4-2 which had a Kmax of 18 MPam, therefore this specimen was excluded from the T0 calculation. All of the other 15 tests meet all the acceptance criteria.
2.3.2 ASTM E1921 Testing Fracture toughness testing was performed according to ASTM E1921-16. Time, applied load, and clip gage displacement were recorded during testing. The fracture surfaces were photographed, and post-test measurements of the pre-crack length and ductile crack extension (if applicable) were recorded. This data is provided in Appendix A.
Nine crack size measurements were taken according to ASTM E1921-16, Section 8.8.1, and the pre-crack straightness was checked according to E1921-16, Section 8.9.1. The pre-crack depth checks were conducted according to E1921-16, Section 7.8.2. The average crack size (depth) was calculated according to E1921-16, Section 8.8.1. The crack aspect ratio, a/W, was checked for each specimen and all were 0.45
< a/W < 0.55 consistent with E1921-16, Section 4.1. The stress intensity (K) rate was calculated for the linear portion and to failure (total). The linear K rate is to be between 0.1 and 2 MPam/s according to E1921-16, Section 8.7.1. All tests met this K rate requirement.

For mini-CT tests, testing at about 30°C (54°F) below T0 is ideal. The allowable test window is T0 +/- 50°C, but with the small specimens, testing near the lower allowable temperature is desired to reduce the number of KJclimit violations.

T0 CALCULATION METHODOLOGY As described previously, ASTM E1921-16 is utilized for T0 (and RTT0) as determined herein, since 10 CFR 50.55a [Ref. 12] approves the 2019 Edition of the ASME Code Sections III and XI [Ref. 13], which cites ASTM E1921-16 [Ref. 1] and -17 [Ref. 2], respectively. The 2016 and 2017 versions of the ASTM standard are equivalent with respect to this methodology.
3.1 CALCULATION OF T0 The K data from the testing is used to calculate T0 as described herein. ASTM E1921 is based on 1TC(T) specimens; therefore, the 0.16TC(T) test results are size adjusted to 1TC(T) results per ASTM E1921-16, Section 10.2.2. This is done using Equation 3 below.

Where:
KJc(x) = KJc for a specimen size Bx KJc(o) = KJc for a specimen size Bo Bo = gross thickness of test specimens (side grooves ignored), and Bx = gross thickness of prediction (side grooves ignored).
The data are checked for censoring per ASTM E1921-16, Section 10.2.1 by determining if either crack growth limit (Equation 4) or KJc limit (Equation 5) are exceeded. KJc limit equation assumes a standard specimen size and must be adjusted for size using Equation 3.

If KJc limit is violated, the KJc limit value shall be used for censoring purposes. If KJca is violated, then KJca, which is set equal to the highest valid KJc, shall be used for censoring purposes. If both KJc limit and KJca are violated, the lower value of the two shall prevail for data censoring purposes.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 4-1 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 4
COMPARISON WITH MRP-127 MRP-127 [Ref. 14] reported the results from previous Master Curve testing of unirradiated Weld Heat #
W5214, Linde 1092, specimens. These tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM E1921-97, with some modification per ASTM E1921-02 to account for specimen size and number of specimens. The source of Weld Heat # W5214 for the specimens in the MRP-127 also came from the Palisades SG-A. The applicability of this material is discussed in Section 2.1 of this report. The available test results are reevaluated here according to ASTM E1921-16. Due to the uncertainty associated with testing for MRP-127 compliance with ASTM E1921-16, specifically the loading rates which are discussed below, these results are intended for informational and comparative purposes only and should not be used to establish the materials reference temperature.
Significant differences between the MRP-127 calculation and the methods used herein (ASTM E1921-16) include:
MRP-127 states that as the fatigue crack length increased, the stress intensity range was decreased to approximately 15.9 MPam at the final stage of pre-cracking. According to E1921-16, Table 1, Kfinal should be less than 15 MPam when the test temperature < pre-cracking temperature. The tests were conducted at -200°F while pre-cracking was most likely conducted at room temperature. Therefore, the pre-cracking Kmax slightly violates E1921-16. This is not a significant violation and likely would not affect the results.
Since the 1997 edition, the Poissons ratio was added to the conversion from Je to KJc. If the test is purely elastic (small Jp), then the 1-2 terms in the Je and KJc equations cancel out and there is no effect.
If the test has large plasticity (large Jp relative to Je) then the E1921-16 would provide a higher KJc value than the E1921-97 version. Therefore, the E1921-97 calculated KJc values are conservative and are used as is herein.
ASTM E1921-16 adds an 18°F (10°C) bias to the Charpy size three-point bend (3PB) test temperature, while it is not discussed in E1921-97. MRP-127 clearly states that Charpy size 3PB (also called pre-cracked Charpy V-notch) specimens were tested. Therefore, the 18°F (10°C) bias will be added to the test temperature to calculate the T0 with the 3PB bias.
Crack front straightness in ASTM E1921-97 was defined as no points differ by more than 7% from average a0, while ASTM E1921-16 requires that none may differ more than 5% of B from the average or 0.5 mm, whichever is larger. The a0/W was about 0.5 making a0 = 0.197 inch and B = 0.394 inch (B
= W). This results in the ASTM E1921-97 crack front straightness being more restrictive for this specimen geometry than ASTM E1921-16, therefore the cracks passing E1921-97 requirements are acceptable to E1921-16.
The loading rate limits differ between ASTM E1921-97 and ASTM E1921-16. ASTM E1921-97 limits loading specimens at a rate such that the time of loading taken to reach load PM lies between 0.1 and 10 min. ASTM E1921-16 states that specimens are to be loaded at a rate such that Krate during the initial elastic portion is between 0.1 and 2 MPam/s. The maximum load time of 10 min results in a loading rate less than that allowed by ASTM E1921-16. Due to the unreported loading rate and the tighter limits in loading rate for ASTM E1921-16, the T0 is increased by 25°F to ensure a conservative result. This adjustment is based on Equation 4-2 from BAW-2308, Rev. 1-A [Ref. 15].

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 4-2 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 The results of the ASTM E1921-16 T0 calculations are shown in Table 4-1 based on the calculation in Table 4-2 and the measured fracture toughness data is plotted in Figure 4-1. The KJc values shown in Table 4-2 are different from those in MRP-127 due to the use of (1-2) in Equation 15 of E1921-16. Other than this difference and the 3PB bias, the results are consistent with Table 3-3 of MRP-127. The data relative to the 5% and 95% tolerance bounds are shown in Figure 4-1. The data is fully bounded by the 5%
tolerance bound and the 5% tolerance bound curve with 2 added. The result determined herein agree well with the reevaluated MRP-127 data; thus, providing assurance that an accurate and conservative fracture toughness-based reference temperature has been generated.

IRRADIATION INDUCED SHIFT IN FRACTURE TOUGHNESS AND APPLICABLE MARGINS To use T0 for reactor vessel integrity analyses, i.e., P-T limit curves (10 CFR 50, Appendix G) and PTS (10 CFR 50.61), it must be adjusted to the irradiated condition of the vessel. This is done by adjusting the data along an Embrittlement Trend Curve (ETC). No ETC is specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix G [Ref. 16] for P-T limit curves; however, the NRC has provided guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 (RG 1.99)
[Ref. 17]. 10 CFR 50.61 [Ref. 18] does provide an ETC that is equivalent to RG 1.99. The RG 1.99 ETC is based on the shift in the 30 ft-lbs transition temperate (T30). There is no industry accepted ETC based on T0; therefore, the currently approved T30 ETC from RG 1.99 will be maintained. The validity of the approached is addressed in Section 5.2.2 of this report.
RG 1.99 determines the effect of irradiation on ferritic reactor vessel material by calculating an adjusted Reference Temperature for Nil-Ductility Transition (RTNDT). This equation is also consistent with 10 CFR 50.61.
Adjusted RTNDT = Initial RTNDT + RTNDT + Margin (10)
Table 5-1 provides a comparison of the inputs to Equation 10 based on the method chosen. Each portion of Equation 10 is addressed in the below subsections.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 5-2 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 5.1 INITIAL REFERENCE TEMPERATURE ASME III NB-2300 & XI, Appendix G, does provide a method to convert T0 to an alternate RTNDT resulting in a fracture toughness-based reference temperature (RTT0).
The initial RTNDT based on T0 is addressed by ASME Section III and Section XI, Appendix G [Ref. 13]
(formerly in Code Case N-629). The Code requires an adjustment to T0 for it to be used with the KIc curve.
Per ASME Section III, paragraph NB-2331(a)(5) and ASME Section XI, Sub-article G-2110, fracture toughness-based reference temperature, RTT0, is determined using a valid T0 calculated per ASTM E1921 using Equation 11.
RTT0 = T0 + 35°F (11)
This same conversion is required for the use of T0 with 10 CFR 50.61, PTS.
5.2 IRRADIATION INDUCED SHIFT IN FRACTURE TOUGHNESS (RTNDT) 5.2.1 Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, ETC Methodology RG 1.99 calculates the shift term (RTNDT) as:
RTNDT = CF x f (0.28 - 0.10 log f)
(12)
Where:
CF =
the chemistry factor based on the Cu and Ni content and RG 1.99, Table 1 for weld or Table 2 for base metal f =
the fluence at the desired location in the reactor vessel material, i.e., surface, 1/4T, or 3/4T.
This is sometimes referred to as the fluence factor (FF).
5.2.2 ETC Use with Master Curve Data Equation 12 is based on the difference between the unirradiated and irradiated Charpy V-notch 30 ft-lb transition temperatures. Replacement of the initial RTNDT with an appropriate alternative initial reference temperature, specifically RTT0, does not necessitate a change to the shift term in RG 1.99 for welds. This assertion has been studied and, in some cases, there is a measured difference between T30 and T0. Since the ETC model used is based on T30, this difference is considered. ORNL/TM-2012/567 [Ref. 19],
compared these two shifts and, on average, the ratio of T0 to T30 for welds is 0.99 and 1.1 for plates as shown Figure 5-1. Due to a lack of forging shift data, a value of 1.1 has previously been used for forgings, matching the plate value as shown in NUREG-1807 [Ref. 20]. For simplicity and conservatism, the ETC from RG 1.99 [Ref. 17] may be multiplied by a factor of 1.0 for welds and 1.1 for plates/forgings. These factors are consistent with a more recent evaluation [Ref. 21].

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 5-3 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 Figure 5-1 Comparison of T0 and RTNDT 5.2.3 Use of Surveillance Data 10 CFR 50.61 and RG 1.99 requires that surveillance data to be considered; however, the surveillance data requirement applies to data generated under the 10 CFR 50, Appendix H, Reactor Vessel Surveillance program. The only fracture toughness tests required by these Reactor Vessel Surveillance programs are Charpy V-Notch tests, which are not sufficient to make T0 determinations. In addition, there currently exists no NRC approved method to incorporate measured T0 results into T0 projections. Therefore, T0 measurements are only for ETC confirmation at this time.
WCAP-18933-NP [Ref. 22] evaluated the irradiated T0 for Heat # W5214, Linde 1092 at two exposures according to ASTM E1921-16. The first samples were from the Palisades steam generator, which were irradiated to 1.5E+19 n/cm2 in Palisades capsule SA-60-1. The results were first reported in BAW-2389 according to ASTM E1921-97 but were reevaluated to the ASTM E1921-16 in WCAP-18933-NP. The ASTM E1921-16 evaluation resulted in an irradiated T0 = 137.8°F, which results in a measured T0 =
137.8°F - (-167.1°F) = 304.9°F. This is compared to the RG 1.99, Position 1.1 predicted T30 = 296.4°F, based on chemistry content of Cu = 0.307 wt-% and Ni = 1.045 wt-% (CF = 266.5°F) and fluence of 1.5E+19 n/cm2 (FF = 1.112) for the Palisades SG-A chemistry. This results in a measured to predicted T0/30 difference of 8.5°F (304.9°F - 296.4°F), which is within a standard deviation of the RG 1.99 ETC
(+/-) for welds, 28°F and within the measurement margin adjustment. This is the RG 1.99 credibility acceptance criteria.
- This record was final approved on 03/01/2024 12:17:29. (This statement was added by the PRIME system upon its validation)
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 5-4 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 The second samples were from the HBR2 Capsule X, which were irradiated to 4.43E+19 n/cm2. The ASTM E1921-16 evaluation resulted in an irradiated T0 = 131.2°F, which results in a measured T0 = 131.2°F -
(-167.1°F) = 298.3°F. This is compared to the RG 1.99, Position 1.1 predicted T30 = 300°F, based on chemistry content of Cu = 0.34 wt-% and Ni = 0.66 wt-% as reported in WCAP-15805 [Ref. 7] for the surveillance weld (CF = 217.7°F) and fluence of 4.43E+19 n/cm2 (FF = 1.378). This results in a measured to predicted T0/30 difference of -1.7°F (298.3°F - 300°F), which is within a standard deviation of the RG 1.99 ETC (+/-) for welds, 28°F and within the measurement margin adjustment.
It is noted that the lower irradiation resulted in greater measured shift. This is not unexpected. In addition to the worst chemistry, which is reflected in the predicted T30, the SA-60-1 specimens were also irradiated at a lower temperature (535°F vs 546°F).
RG 1.99 also allows for the use of credible material-specific T30 surveillance data, i.e., Position 2.1 CF.
In the case of Heat # W5214 material, the surveillance data for this material are deemed not fully credible in SIA Report 0901132.401 [Ref. 23], which allowed the use of the Position 2.1 CF but requires the use of a full margin term (see Section 5.3). Position 2.1 results in a CF of 227.7°F. This CF is based on the surveillance data from multiple plants with an averaged operating temperature of 535°F and a Position 1.1 CF of 230.7°F based on the averaged chemistry of the specimens from those surveillance programs. These differences (temperature and chemistry) can be approximated by 1st multiplying the Position 2.1 CF of 227.7°F by the ratio of Position 1.1 CF, and 2nd adding the temperature difference. For the temperature difference, it should be applied so that a colder operating temperature results in more embrittlement.
If the Position 2.1 CF is used to evaluate the SA-60-1 data, then the T30 would be 253.3°F (227.7°F x 1.112) and results in measured to predicted T0/30 difference of 51.6°F (304.9°F - 253.3°F), which is greater than +/-, 28°F, but within +/-2 for welds, 2
- 28°F = 56°F. Since the operating temperature of Palisades is approximately equal to the average temperature of all specimens, only the chemistry difference needs to be accounted for. This can be approximated as CF = 227.7°F x 266.5°F / 230.7°F = 263.0°F. This results in a T30 ~292.5°F (263.0°F x 1.112), and a measured to predicted T0/30 difference of ~12.4°F (304.9°F -
292.5°F), which is within +/- for welds, 28°F.
If this Position 2.1 CF is used to evaluate the Capsule X data, then the T30 would be 313.7°F (227.7°F x 1.378) and result in measured to predicted T0/30 difference of -15.5°F (298.3°F - 313.7°F), which is within
+/- for welds, 28°F. However, this does not account for the chemistry and temperature differences between the Position 2.1 CF calculation (CF=230.7°F, Temp.=535°F) and the HBR2 specimens (CF=217.7°F, Temp.=546°F). This affect can be approximated as CF = 227.7°F x 217.7°F / 230.7°F - 11°F = 203.9°F.
This results in a T30 ~280.9°F (203.9°F x 1.378), and a measured to predicted T0/30 difference of ~17.4°F (298.3°F - 280.9°F), which is within +/- for welds, 28°F.
Because the RG 1.99 Position 2.1 CF based 10 CFR 50, Appendix H surveillance data was not intended for T0 projections and it is less conservative than the measured T0, the Heat # W5214 embrittlement predictions should be based on RG 1.99, Position 1.1, when the initial RTNDT is based on master curve data.
However, the surveillance data demonstrates that the RG 1.99 ETC provides conservative embrittlement projections for the initial T0 of the W5214 weld material in HBR2.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 5-5 WCAP-18909-NP March 2024 Revision 1 5.3 APPLICABLE MARGINS In Equation 10, the Initial RTNDT and shift term (RTNDT) have independent measures of uncertainty, which are captured in Equation 13.
Margin 2
2 2
+
=
I (13)
Where:
I = uncertainty in the initial RTNDT
= uncertainty in RTNDT NB-2331(a)(5) requires twice the margin adjustment defined in ASTM E1921 to be added to cover the uncertainty associated with the limited number of specimens tested to establish T0. However, NB-2331(a)(5) does not directly address the effects of irradiation as required by NB-2331(e). Since the measurement margin adjustment and the ETC uncertainty are independent of each other, combining the two terms using the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS), as prescribed by RG 1.99, is considered appropriate and consistent with NB-2331(a)(5). This method to combine the uncertainty terms was previously accepted by the NRC in BAW-2308 [Ref. 15].
5.3.1 Uncertainty of Initial Reference Temperature (I)
This term is the uncertainty associated with the methods used to measure the initial RTNDT. Typically, for example in WCAP-14040-A [Ref. 24], the I term is set equal to zero when measured data is used.
However, ASTM E1921-16 provides a method to determine a measurement margin adjustment for T0 based on the number of tests and normal experimental uncertainties. This method is shown in Equation 8 in Section 3.2. This value should be used as the I term when RTT0 is used as the initial reference temperature.
5.3.2 Uncertainty of Irradiation-Induced Shift ()
This term is the uncertainty associated with the ETC used. RG 1.99 recommends that be set equal to specific values depending upon the product form ( = 17°F for plates/forgings and = 28°F for welds) but limited to half of the magnitude of the predicted shift. If credible surveillance data is used, this value is halved. Since RTNDT is still based on the ETC in RG 1.99, the values remain appropriate for welds.
The continued use of = 28°F is supported by the evaluation of available measured T0 data presented in Section 5.2.3, which demonstrated the predictions are within +/-. This is also consistent with previously approved uses of Master Curve data for vessel integrity in BAW-2308 [Ref. 15].

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 1-1 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 1
INTRODUCTION The fracture toughness of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel in a nuclear plant provides a key input to calculations that commercial licensees perform to demonstrate the fracture integrity of the vessel during both normal operations and postulated accident conditions (e.g., pressurized thermal shock, or PTS).
Currently, the ASME KIc curve is indexed to Reference Temperature for Nil-Ductility Transition (RTNDT) to describe the fracture toughness of the RPV and its variance with temperature. These curves were adopted in 1972 as a lower bound representation of a set of approximately 173 linear elastic fracture toughness values of RPV steel. The use of RTNDT to normalize temperature was intended to account for the heat-to-heat differences in fracture toughness transition temperature, thereby collapsing the fracture toughness data onto a single curve. However, indexing KIc to RTNDT is not a direct measure of fracture toughness but provides a conservative characterization of fracture toughness. The master curve approach is a true fracture toughness-based method that can be used to definitively determine the transition temperature fracture toughness (T0) with an increased certainty by testing fracture toughness specimens.
The purpose of this report is to report the measured irradiated reference temperatures (and associated margins) for the H.B. Robinson Unit 2 (HBR2) Heat # W5214 Weld Metal and Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 (Heat # A6623-1) using the fracture toughness-based Master Curve method. The Master Curve method provides an alternative for determining the RTNDT using RTT0 as outlined in paragraph NB-2331(a)(5) based upon fracture toughness in lieu of Charpy or Drop weight testing.
In order to provide irradiated data for Heat # W5214, the surveillance weld specimens from Capsule X were machined into miniature compact fracture toughness (mini-CT) specimens and tested. (In actuality, these were machined from the weld portion of the broken heat affected zone (HAZ) Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact specimens). These surveillance welds were fabricated from weld Heat # W5214, Linde 1092, Lot # 3617, and included in the Type II capsules in the HBR2 surveillance program. Capsule X experienced a fluence of 4.43 x 1019 n/cm2 (E > 1 MeV), which is in excess of the projected 80-year fluence of the Upper to Intermediate Shell Circumferential weld (3.83 x 1019 n/cm2 at 70 EFPY), which contains Heat # W5214, Linde 1092, Lot # 3617. In addition, the results from the previous Master Curve testing results for weld Heat # W5214, Linde 1092, irradiated in Palisades Capsule SA 60-1 and reported in BAW-2389 [Ref. 7],
were reevaluated according to the methodologies used herein.
Irradiated material is available for Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 in tested specimens from the HBR2 10 CFR 50, Appendix H surveillance program. Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 specimens were not directly included in the HBR2 surveillance program; however, the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) specimens within Type II capsules were fabricated using Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 and, therefore, the base metal plate portion of the specimens are non-HAZ W10201-1 material. Therefore, mini-CT specimens were machined from the plate portion of the HAZ specimens from Capsule X. As stated above, Capsule X has experienced a fluence in excess of the projected 80-year fluence for the Upper Shell Plate (3.37 x 1019 n/cm2 at 70 EFPY).
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) permits the use of a fracture toughness-based reference temperature, RTT0, which may be used in place of RTNDT, through approval of the 2019 Edition of ASME Section III and ASME Section XI in 10 CFR 50.55a. Both ASME Sections III and XI of the 2019 edition allow the use RTT0, based on fracture toughness data determined according to ASTM E1921. ASME

FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTING AND RESULTS To determine the Master Curve fracture toughness reference temperature, T0, testing was completed in accordance with ASTM E1921-16/-17 [Refs. 2 and 3]. This section serves to provide an overview of the testing which was completed. Table 2-1 summarizes the results which are based on a multi-temperature analysis.

RTT0 = T0 +35°F Per ASME Section III, paragraph NB-2331(a)(5) and ASME Section XI, Sub-article G-2110.
(b)
ASME III, NB-2331(a)(5) requires twice the margin adjustment defined in ASTM E1921 be added, i.e., RTT0 + 2. However, if the T0 is adjusted to account for the difference between the tested specimens and the RPV, for example the amount of irradiation, then the margin adjustment should be combined with the uncertainty associated with the translation of T0, e.g., the embrittle trend curve uncertainty, using the square root of the sum of the square methodology, consistent with the NRC guidance in RG 1.99.
(c)
The maximum projected 80-year fluence of the Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 is 3.37 x 1019 n/cm2 which is at the clad/base metal interface.
(d)
The maximum projected 80-year fluence of the Upper to Intermediate Shell Circumferential weld, Heat # W5214, Linde 1092, Lot # 3617, is 3.83 x 1019 n/cm2 which is at the clad/base metal interface.
2.1 SOURCE OF IRRADIATED MATERIAL Capsule X was removed after 20.65 Effective Full Power Years (EFPY) with a fluence of 4.43 x 1019 n/cm2, (E > 1.0 MeV) which is higher than the anticipated projected 80-year fluence of RPV Upper to Intermediate Shell Circumferential weld, Heat # W5214 (3.83 x 1019 n/cm2 at 70 EFPY) and Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 (3.37 x 1019 n/cm2 at 70 EFPY). In addition, the results from the previously tested weld Heat # W5214 specimens, irradiated in Palisades Capsule SA-60-1 with a fluence of 1.50 x 1019 n/cm2, (E > 1.0 MeV),
reported in BAW-2389 [Ref. 7], are considered in the subsequent evaluations.
Previously tested CVN heat-affected zone (HAZ) specimens were selected for testing since they are comprised of both Weld Heat # W5214 and Upper Shell Plate W10201-1 material as described in WCAP-7373 [Ref. 1]. The weld metal and base metal broken CVN halves were polished to a mirror finish and then etched to verify the weld metal half, and to characterize the base metal grain size and orientation of the working direction. Hardness measurements were also used to confirm the weld versus base metal halves. The hardness for the weld halves is significantly higher than the plate halves consistent with the irradiated tensile properties. The etched micro-structure also confirmed that the high hardness halves were weld material.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 2-2 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 The HAZ CVN specimens were removed at various thickness locations of the welded plate. The quenching process produces higher hardness, higher strength, higher toughness, and a finer grain structure near the quenched surfaces. Hence, ASTM E182 and ASME III require removal of the test samples from quarter-thickness (1/4T) locations. There was no indication from where the plate thickness the CVN HAZ specimens were removed. Therefore, the hardness and relative grain size was used to choose which specimens to use. Those specimens with higher hardness and a finer grain structure were not selected for use. An estimation of tensile strength based on this hardness yields similar results as the measured 1/4T location tensile strength for plate W10201-4 from Capsule X. It is expected that similar plate W10201-1 would have similar tensile properties; thus, confirms that the specimens selected are not from near the plate quenched surface.
2.2 SPECIMEN ORIENTATION AND GEOMETRY The side of the specimens where the profile of the V-notch is visible for each plate CVN half, was polished and etched. Photographs at magnifications of 200X and 500X were taken for each etched specimen half.
Figure 2-1 shows two examples with 500x magnification showing that the primary working direction is vertical. The grains were fairly equiaxed and do not show a strong difference between vertical and horizontal. The CVN inset shows the orientation of the micrographs relative to the specimen, so the grain size and orientation can be quantified. The specimens were determined to be orientated transverse to the plate working direction; therefore, the mini-CT specimens were machined with the same orientation as the CVN specimens to produce transverse (T-L) weak direction specimens.
The CVN specimen halves were machined into miniature compact tension (mini-CT) specimens, as shown in Figure 2-2. The mini-CT specimen geometry is an allowable geometry per ASTM E1921-16/-17.
Figure 2-3 shows an example of how the mini-CTs were removed from the broken CVN halves.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 2-4 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 2.3 TEST PROCEDURE 2.3.1 Pre-Cracking All pre-cracking was performed at room temperature. After the ASTM E1921 testing, the pre-crack final crack length was determined using a photo system at various locations on the crack front. The maximum Kmax value is calculated using the actual initial and final maximum precrack load.
ASTM E1921-16/-17, Section 7.8.2, limits the initial Kmax to 25 MPam. ASTM E1921-16/-17, Section 7.8.2 (Table 1 from that reference), limits the final Kmax from pre-cracking to 20 MPam for tests conducted at or above the pre-cracking temperature and 15 MPam for tests conducted below pre-cracking temperature. In some cases, the final Kmax of 15 MPam was slightly exceeded ( 0.3 MPam). In these cases, an alternate adjustment to Kmax recommended by Fracture Toughness of Engineering Materials
[Ref. 11] is used. The Kmax of 15 MPam assumes a very large difference between the pre-cracking and test temperature. Alternatively, 20 MPam is adjusted using the ratio of pre-cracking temperature YS/test temperature YS. If the actual Kmax does not exceed pre-cracking temperature YS/test temperature YS
- 20 MPam, then the pre-crack load was deemed acceptable and would not influence the resulting KJc.
2.3.2 ASTM E1921 Testing Fracture toughness testing was performed according to ASTM E1921-16 (Section III) and ASTM E1921-17 (Section XI). The first specimen test temperature was based on the 30 ft-lbs Charpy transition temperature taken from the Capsule X test report, WCAP-15805 [Ref. 12]. Time, applied load, and clip gage displacement were recorded during testing.
The fracture surfaces were photographed, and post-test measurements of the pre-crack length and ductile crack extension (if applicable) were recorded. This data is provided in Appendix A for Plate W10201-1 and Appendix B for weld Heat # W5214. The Heat # W5214 data from BAW-2389, Fracture Curve Testing of Palisade SA-60-1, is provided in Appendix C.
Nine crack size measurements were taken according to ASTM E1921-16/-17, Section 8.8.1, and the pre-crack straightness was checked according to E1921-16/-17 Section 8.9.1. The pre-crack depth checks were conducted according to E1921-16/-17, Section 7.8.2. The average crack size (depth) was calculated according to E1921-16/-17, Section 8.8.1. The crack aspect ratio, a/W, was checked for each specimen and all were 0.45 < a/W < 0.55 consistent with E1921-16, Section 4.1. The stress intensity (K) rate was calculated for the linear portion and to failure (total). The linear K rate is to be between 0.1 and 2 MPam/s according to E1921-16/-17 Section 8.7.1. All tests met this K rate requirement.
Test data is analyzed to determine the J-integral (Jc) at the onset of cleavage fracture based on the sum of the elastic and plastic components. KJc was calculated per Equation 1.

Where:
Je = to the elastic component of the J-integral as measured from test data Jp = to the plastic component of the J-integral as measured from test data Depending on the Jc result of the first test(s), the temperature was changed with subsequent tests so that a valid T0 would be produced. For mini-CT tests, testing at about 30°C (54°F) below T0 is ideal. The allowable test window is T0 +/- 50°C, but with the small specimens, testing near the lowest allowable temperature is desired to reduce the number of KJclimit violations.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 3-1 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 3
CALCULATION OF T0 AND RTT0 As described previously, ASTM E1921-16/-17 is utilized for T0 (and RTT0) as determined herein, since 10 CFR 50.55a [Ref. 4] approves the 2019 Edition of the ASME Code Sections III and XI [Ref. 5], which cites ASTM E1921-16 [Ref. 2] and -17 [Ref. 3], respectively. The 2016 and 2017 versions of the ASTM standard are equivalent with respect to this methodology.
3.1 CALCULATION OF T0 The K data from the testing is used to calculate T0 as described herein. ASTM E1921 is based on 1C(T) specimens; therefore, the 0.16TC(T) test results are size adjusted to 1TC(T) results per ASTM E1921-16/-17, Section 10.2.2. This is done using Equation 3 below.
() = 20 + (0) 20 0
1/4 (3)
Where:
KJc(x) = KJc for a specimen size Bx KJc(o) = KJc for a specimen size Bo Bo = gross thickness of test specimens (side grooves ignored), and Bx = gross thickness of prediction (side grooves ignored).
The data are checked for censoring per ASTM E1921-16/-17, Section 10.2.1 by determining if either crack growth limit (Equation 4) or KJc limit (Equation 5) are exceeded. KJc limit equation assumes a standard specimen size and must be adjusted for size using Equation 3.

NB-2331(a)(5) requires twice this margin adjustment to be added to cover the uncertainty associated with the limited number of specimens tested to establish T0, i.e., T0 + 2. However, NB-2331(a)(5) does not address the adjustment that may be performed to account for the difference between the tested specimens and the RPV, for example the amount of irradiation. If this specimen to RPV adjustment is considered, then the margin adjustment should be combined with the other uncertainties associated with the calculation of the shift in the reference temperature (RTNDT), e.g., embrittlement trend curve uncertainty. Since the measurement margin adjustment and uncertainties are independent of each other, combining these terms using the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS), as prescribed by RG 1.99, is considered appropriate and consistent with NB-2331(a)(5). This method to combine the uncertainty terms was previously accepted by the NRC in BAW-2308 [Ref. 20]. If no adjustment is performed, then T0 (or RTT0) + 2E1921 should be used.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 4-3 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 4.2 WELD HEAT # W5214 FROM HBR2 CAPSULE X The results of ASTM E1921-16/-17 T0 calculations are shown in Table 4-3 and the measured fracture toughness data is plotted in Figure 4-2. The data from testing is provided in Appendix B.
For specimens WM, WQ, and WU, the KJQ and ductile crack growth exceed the limits and these tests are censored using the censoring limits.
Specimen WU also violated the ATME E1921-16/-17, paragraph 8.9.1, pre-crack straightness criterion.
WU is censored with KJclimit substituted, so KJc is unaffected by the straightness violation, and it is still counted as censored.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 4-5 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 4.3 WELD FROM PALISADES CAPSULES SA-60-1 Weld Heat # W5214, Linde 1092, was irradiated in Palisades in Capsule SA-60-1 and was previously tested by BWXT according to ASTM E1921-97. The results are document in BAW-2389 [Ref. 7] and reproduced in Appendix C of this report. The data contained in BAW-2389 is sufficient to recalculate T0 according to E1921-16/-17. The Capsule SA-60-1 was withdrawn at 2.27 EFPY with a fluence of 1.50E+19 n/cm2 and an average irradiation temperature of 535°F per WCAP-17628-NP, Alternative PTS Evaluation for Palisades [Ref. 15]. Weld Heat # W5214 source for the specimens included in the SA-60-1 capsule came from the Palisades replaced steam generator (SG) A. This weld was evaluated with respect to its applicability to the Palisades RPV Weld Heat # W5214 in ML18064A487 [Ref. 17]. Comparison of the SG chemistry concluded that the weld would embrittle in the same manner as the RPV weld. The post weld heat treatment was different from the Palisades RPV and so the Charpy transition temperature curve was compared to the weld Heat # W5214 taken from Indian Point Unit 2, Indian Point Unit 3, and Robinson Unit 2 welds. The unirradiated 30 ft-lbs transition temperature of the SG-A weld is about 30°F higher than the RPV welds and is therefore conservative. To demonstrate the applicability of the SA-60-1 specimens the chemistry and post-weld heat treatments are compared in Tables 4-5 and 4-6.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 4-6 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 There are three significant differences between the BAW-2389 calculation and the methods herein.
(1) ASTM E1921-16/-17 allows for a multi-temperature method, whereas E1921-97 requires all used data to be at a single temperature. This results in two tests (Table 2 of BAW-2389) being excluded from the single test temperature T0 calculation in BAW-2389 due to the different temperature than the ten considered tests (Table 3 of BAW-2389). These two tests will be included herein.
(2) Since the 1997 edition, the Poissons ratio was added to the conversion from Je to KJc. If the test is purely elastic (small Jp), then the 1-2 terms in the Je and KJc equations cancel out and there is no effect.
If the test has large plasticity (large Jp relative to Je) then the E1921-16/-17 would provide a higher KJc value than the E1921-97 version. Therefore, the E1921-97 calculated KJc values are conservative and are used as is herein.
(3) ASTM E1921-16/-17 adds an 18°F (10°C) bias to the Charpy size three-point bend (3PB) test temperature, while it is not discussed in BAW-2389.
Excluding the bias adjustment, the 1-2 term difference, and eliminating the first 2 tests that were performed at a different temperature, the resulting T0 is nearly the same as that reported in BAW-2389. An additional consideration were the loading rate limits, which are different but found to be within the acceptable range of E1921-16/-17, Section 1.5.
The results of the ASTM E1921-16/-17 T0 calculations are shown in Table 4-7 and the measured fracture toughness data is plotted in Figure 4-3.

(a) The average crack size (depth) is calculated according to E1921 Section 8.8.1. Average the two near-surface measurements and then combine with the remaining seven crack measurements.
(b) Results from this specimen are not used in the T0 determination as the thickness is out of compliance.
(c) An estimation of tensile strength based on this hardness yields similar results as the measured 1/4T location tensile strength for plate W10201-4 from Capsule X. It expected that similar plate W10201-1 would have similar tensile properties.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 C-1 WCAP-18933-NP March 2024 Revision 0 APPENDIX C BAW-2389 FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTING DATA This appendix contains the fracture toughness testing data from BAW-2389 [Ref. 7] which was used in this report.
It was noted that the Jc values reported in BAW-2389 Tables 2 and 3 are higher than the J reported in the raw data tables for the last step in BAW-2389, Appendix B. This might be explained by use of the maximum load in the K calculation versus the load at the unloads shown in Appendix B. It is presumed that the Jc values reported in Tables 2 and 3 are correct.
