N Nebraska Public Power District NLS2005 003 Always there when you need us5 January 5, 2005 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555-0001
Subject:
Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Relief Request RI-35 Cooper Nuclear Station, NRC Docket No. 50-298, DPR-46
Reference:
- 1. Letter to R. Edington (Nebraska Public Power District) from U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission dated December 3, 2004, "Request for Additional Information On Relief Request RI-35, Repair of Reactor Pressure Vessel Control Rod Drive Nozzle-To-Cap Weld (TAC No. MC4954)."
- 2. Letter to U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission from R. Edington (Nebraska Public Power District) dated October 25, 2004, "Inservice Inspection Relief Request RI-35" (NLS2004125).
The purpose of this letter is for the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) to respond to the Request for Additional Information provided in Reference 1 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regarding the previously submitted Relief Request of Reference 2.
Question I The October 25, 2004, submittal states that the welder and ivelding procedures will be qualified to use the shielded metal arc iwelding process. However, the deposition of the Alloy 52 requires the uise of the gas tungsten arc welding (GTA ad) process. Is the licensee planning to use welder and welding procedures qualified to uise the GTA Reprocess? If so, explain the difference.
Response: Shielded Metal Arc Welding will be used for a seal weld or any local repairs, if required, before applying the weld overlay. The overlay itself will be deposited using GTAW. Welding procedures and personnel qualifications will be in accordance with the applicable ASME Section XI and Section IX requirements and any additional requirements of the cited code cases.
Question 2: Providea diagram/sketch showing the control rod drive return nozzle-to-cap wveld and the proposedweld overlay configuration.
Response: Enclosure 1 provides a conceptual drawing of the proposed repair. The following additional information is provided per the Staff's request:
- 1. Cap material & dimension - SB-166, NI-CR-FE, 5.25 inches minimum Outer Diameter, 3.948 +/- 0.010 inches Inner Diameter.
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION P.O. Box 98/ Brownville. NE 6832140098 ~47 Telephone: (402) 825-3811 / Fax: (402) 825.5211 www.nppd.com
NLS2005003 Page 2 of 4
- 2. The nozzle material, wall thickness and outside diameter - SA508 Class 2, 1.353 inches Wall Thickness (excludes 0.22 inches stainless steel clad), 5.25 inches Outer Diameter.
- 3. The operating pressure - nominal 1005 psig, 1275 psig design
- 4. The operating temperature - nominal 5470 F, 5750 F design Question 3: Section (g)(2) of Code CaseN-504-2 specifies that the evaluation of the repaired weld consider residual stressesproduced by the weld overlay with the other appliedloads on the system. The effects of water backing on the repairweld shall be considered. Section (g)(3) of Code Case N-504-2 specifies that the welds and components meet the applicablestress limits of the constnrctionz code.
- a. Wiat is the constnrction code that was utsed to satisfy the evaluation requirements in Sections (g)(2) and (g)(3) of the Code Case?
- b. Provide a description of the methodology used to determine residualstresses and shrinkage effects.
- c. Provide a list and a description of the calculations utsedfor determining the length and thickness of the weld overlay.
- d. Provide a table comparing the current licensing basisprimnary andprimary-pluts-secondarystresses, and the primnary andprinmary-plus-secondarystresses at the location of the highest stress regions resultingfrom the installationof the weld overlay. Show that the conponent and the weld meet the applicable stress limnits of the Cooperconstnrction code, as requiredby the Code Case.
- e. Provide the largestASME Section Illfatigue cumitulative usagefactor and its location in the region with andwithout the weld overlay, consideringall applicable thermal and mechanical transients.
Response: 3a. The Reactor Pressure Vessel was designed and constructed to ASME Section III, 1965 Edition, 1966 Addenda. The piping was designed to ANSI/ASME B31.1-1967 and installed to B31.7-1969. The Control Rod Drive (CRD) Cap was designed and installed to ASME Section M, 1974 through Winter 1975 Addenda.
3b. The end cap at Cooper is a free end, with no attached piping. Consequently, shrinkage of the weld overlay material upon cooling will have no effect on any other component, and so it is not necessary to perform a shrinkage analysis following repair application. Residual stresses at the weld overlay location have no effect on other components in the system, and, being steady state, secondary stresses do not affect Code acceptability of the repaired location.
NLS2005003 Page 3 of 4 Residual stresses would potentially affect Inter-Granular Stress Cracking Corrosion growth in a susceptible material, but the Alloy 52 weld material is not considered to be susceptible, and no credit is taken for the underlying base materials. Residual stresses, being steady state stresses, would only act as mean stresses for consideration of fatigue crack growth. Therefore, it was not necessary to separately evaluate weld residual stresses for this repair.
3c. The weld overlay reinforcement thickness was calculated using Structural Integrity (SI) proprietary software, pc-CRACK, SI calculation COOP-17Q-301: "Weld Overlay Design for CRD Return Line Nozzle Cap Weld". The methodology is consistent with ASME Section XI, IWB-3640 and Code Case N-504.
3d. The Cooper CRD end cap stress report (GE 22A5561, Rev. 0, 9/30/77) lists the maximum primary stress intensity as 5.8 ksi, compared to an allowable Sm of 23.3 ksi. This is entirely due to pressure. No other mechanical loads apply to the end cap, since it is not connected to any other mechanical components.
The axial stress due to pressure is reported as 2.3 ksi. Design of the weld overlay using the methods of ASME Section XI, IWB-3640 and Appendix C consider all primary stresses in meeting the design criteria.
3e. The cumulative usage factor for the original design for the nozzle is 0.022.
Since the capping of the nozzle eliminated the weight of the CRD return piping and most thermal stresses, this was considered a bounding limit for the cap. Application of the weld overlay repair will not adversely affect this value.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Paul Fleming at (402) 825-2774.

NOTES
- 1. Component surface is to be examined by dye penetrant method and accepted as clean prior to overlay application.
- 2. In the event that the original component surface does not pass the note I requirements, the final deposited temper bead weld layer is to be examined by dye penetrant method and accepted as clean before proceeding with subsequent layers.
- 3. Weld overlay wire shall be ERNiCrFe-7 (Alloy 52).
- 4. The design thickness (0.25 inch) is the minimum thickness beyond the first PT clean surface. (Typo corrected by 1/5/05)
- 5. Apply as many layers as required to achieve the design overlay thickness 't".
- 6. Design thickness includes no allowance for surface conditioning operations to facilitate UT inspection.
- 7. Design length is that required for structural reinforcement; greater length may be required for effective UT inspection. This is to be determined in the field.
