4.0 OPERATING LIMITS The P-T curves included in this report represent steam dome pressure versus minimum vessel coolant temperature and incorporate the appropriate non-beltline limits and irradiation embrittlement effects in the beltline region.
The operating limits for pressure and temperature are required for three categories of operation: (a) hydrostatic pressure tests and leak tests, referred to as Curve A; (b) core not critical operation, referred to as Curve B; and (c) core critical operation, referred to as Curve C, in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix G (Reference 6.10).
Complete P-T curves were.developed for 40 EFPY for OCGS, as documented in Reference 6.2.
Composite curves bounding all RPV component curves for Curves A, B, and C for OCGS for 40
Oyster Creek.PTLR Revision 1 Page 5 of 25 EFPY ar~ provided in Figures 1 through 3 of this report. Tabulation of the curves is included in Tables 1 through 3. The ART tables for the OCGS vessel beltline materials are shown in Table 4 for
. 40 EFPY (Reference 6.8).* The P-T Curves A, B, and C presented in this report each repr!3serit .a bounding curve fat the RPV beltline, upper vessel, and bottom. head re~ions. The resulting P-T curves8re based on the geometry, design and materials information for the OCGS vessel with the following conditions:.
- l-leatup and Copldown rate limit du~ing Hydrostatic and Class 1 Leak Testing (Fig~re 1:
Curve A): ~ 2~°F/h,our1 .
.. Normal Operating H~atup and Cooldown rate limit (Figure 2: Curve B - nori~nuclear heating, and Figure 3: Curve C - nuclear heating): ~ 100°F/hour2 .
- RPV h~ad inst~ilation temperature limit (Figi;ire 1: Curve A- Hydrostatic and Class .1
- Leak Testing; Figure 2: Curve B - non-nuclear heating): ~ 60°F.
Minimum temperature limits are set in accordance with 1Cl CFR 50, Appendix G (Table 1 in Reference 6.10). Regarding the RPV head installation temperature limit, the minimum bolt-up temperature is selected ~o address the NRG condition in Section 4.0 of Reference 6.3 regarding lowest service temperature (LST) for all ferritic components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB), including piping and other non-RPV components. The minimum temperature is set to 60°F for Cu~es A and B, which bounds the maximum RT~or for the closure flange m~terial, 36~F for the upper shell plate (Reference 6.2). The minimum criticality temperature is 96"F for Curve./
C, Which Is eq~ai:to RTNor.max. + 60°F .. However, from Reference 6.2, the non-bel.tline .
(feedwater nozzle) P-T limits are more limiting than the closure flange limits for Curves Band C, and the minimum temperature is 76°F for Curve 1B and 116"F for Curve C, based on the non-beltline P-T limits. These temperatures a're consistent with the minimum temperature limits arid minimum bolt-up temperatures in the current docketed P-T curv~s (Reference 6.11, approved by the NRG in Reference 6.12). These temperatures also bou111d the non-RPV ferritic components of the RCPB, such as piping. Non-ductile fracture was considered in the design of ferritic RCPB piping, in accordance with the requirements of the piping code of construction and specifications identified in the OCGS FSAR Table 5.2-1 (Reference 6.13). Consequently, the P-T limits have considered all 1

5.0 DISCUSSION The ART of the limiting beltline. material is used to adjust the beltline P-T curves to account for irrad.iation effecti. HG 1.99 provides .the n,ethods for determining the ART (Reference 6.6). The RG. .1.99 methods for dete;mining the limiting material and. adj~stirig the P-T curves using ART are' discussed in this.section. Appendix A in this report provides additional detail regarding RPV material surveill~nce, programs at Oyster Creek.

- The peak RPV ID fluence used in the P-T curve evaluation for 40 EFPY is 5.69x10 18 ri/cm 2 for OCGS (Table 4): Fluence values were linearly int~rpol~ted for 40 EFPY b~sed on the fluence * .
values for 32 *and 50 EFPY provided in Reference 6:.5, which were calculated using' methods that com~ly with the guidelines of RG 1.190 (Referen~e 6.4) .. This fluence value applies to the limiUng belti1nelower-:intermediate shell plate 564-03C for OCGS.. The ID fluence value was adjusted based upon anattenuation factor ~f 0.630 for a postulated 1/4Ula~: As a result, the 1/4t 40 EFPY fluence for the limiting lower-intermediate plate is 3.58x1018 n/cr'n 2 for OCGS. The limiUng 1/4t ART for the OCGS beltline *for 40 EFPY is 172.5°F.
The RPV fluence values in Reference 6.5 were used as input to the currently docketed P-T curves.
An updated fluence evaluation for the OCGS RPV was subsequently performed in Reference 6.14.
Based on review of the updated fluence values for 40 EFPY, the previously calculated limiting 1/4t ART value bounds the limiting 1/4t ART calculated using the updated fluence. Accordingly, the 40 EFPY ART values previously documented in Reference 6.8 are provided in Table 4 and used as input to the P-T curves.
The P-T limits are developed to bound all ferritic materials in the RPV, including the consideration of stress levels from structural discontinuities such as nozzles. The latest NRG-approved revision of the BWROG P-T limits topical report, Revision 1-A (Reference 6.1 ), was developed to incorporate additional requirements related to the effects of nozzles within the beltline region. Revision O of this
- Oyster Creek PTLR
- . Revision 1 Page 7 of 25 PTLR (Reference 6.11) and the supporting P-T curves calculation (Reference*6.2) predate the approval of the Revision 1-A BWROG topical report and were prepared to an earlier revision of the topical report, Revision O:A (Reference 6.9). However; the OCGS P-T limits developed in Reference 6.2 already appropriately addressed the effects . of RPV nozzles. . The . limiting
\ . .
.RPV nozzle .
configuration, the feedwater (FVV) nozzle, is considered in the evaluation of the non-beltline (upper vessel) region P-T limits. The OCGS .
small bore instrument nozzles are outside the be!tline. region and are bou.nded by the non~beltline/FW:nozzle P-T limits, as agreed by the NRC in Reference .
6.12: OCGShas.no.notiles withiffthe RPVbeittiin~. Ther~fore'. the 40 EFPY P-T limitsare alS'O
- consistent withth~ latest NRG-approved BWROG topical report methodology (Reference 6.1 ).
Accordingly, both topical reports are referenced in this PTLR. .
The .P-T curves for the core not critical and core critic~I operating conditions at a given EFPY apply .
for both the 1/4t and 3/4t locations: When combi1riin'g pressure and thermal stresses, it is usually necessary to evaluate stresses at the 1/4t location .
(in~ide surface flaw). .
and the .3/4t location ..
(outside surface flaw). This is because the thermal gradient tensile stress of intereistis in the inner wall during cooldown and is in the outer wall during heatup. However, as a conservative simplification; the thermal gradient .
stress at the 1/4t location is assumed . to be. tensile for both*
heatup and cooldown. This results in the approach of applying the maximum tensile stress at the*.
1/4t location. This approach is conservative because irradiation effects cause the allowable toughness . ~t 1/4t to be less than. *. that at 3/4t for a .given metal temperature.
. . This approa~h causes no operationaLdifficulties, since the BWR is at steam saturation conditions during normal operation, which is well below the P-T curve limits.
For the core not critical curve (Curve B) and the core critical curve (Curve C), the P-T curves are developed based on a coolant heatup and cooldown temperature rate of~ 100°F/hr for which the curves are applicable. However, the core not critical and the core critical curves were also developed to bound Service Level A/B RPV thermal transients defined on the RPV thermal cycle diagram and the nozzle thermal cycle diagrams. For the hydrostatic pressure and leak test curve (Curve A), a coolant heatup and cooldown temperature rate of::;; 25°F/hr must be maintained. The P-T limits and corresponding limits of either Curve A or B may be applied, if necessary, while achieving or recovering from test conditions. So, although Curve A applies during pressure testing, the limits of Curve B may be conservatively used during pressure testing if the pressure test heatup/cooldown rate limits cannot be maintained.
The initial RTNor, the chemistry (weight-percent Cu and Ni) and adjusted reference temperature at the 1/4 thickness location for all RPV beltline materials significantly affected by fluence (i.e., fluence

- The following inputs were used ,as input to the finite element analysis:
- With respect to operating conditions, stress distributions were developed for a thermal shock of 450°F, which represents the . maximum thermal shock .
for the feedwater nozzle during normal operating conditions. The stress results for a 450°F shock are appropriate for use in developing.the non~beltline P-T curves based on the limiting feedwater.nozzle, as a shock of 450°F is representative of the Turbine Roll transient that occurs in the feedwater nozzle as part of the 100°F/hr startup transient. Therefore, these stresses represent the bounding stresses in the feedwater nozzle associated with 1Q0°F/hr heatup/cooldown limits associated with the P-T curves for the upper vessel feedwater nozzle region. The boundary integral equation/influence function (BIE/IF) methodology as presented in Reference 6.1 was used in Reference 6.2 to calculate the thermal stress intensity factor K11 by fitting a third order polynomial equation to the path stress distribution for the thermal load case.

APPENDIX A Oyster Creek Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Programs Oyster Creek:
lri acbordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix H, Reactor Vessel Materic1I Surveillance Program Requirements (Reference 6J~1), one surveiHance capsule has been removed from the OCGS RPV. The first surveillance capsule was removed from the OCGS RPV on February 12, 1983 after 8.38 EFPY (Reference 6.22). The surv~illance capsule* contained fiux wire~ for neutron .
- fluence measurement, Charpy V-Notch impact test specimens and uniaxial tensile test specimens fabricated using. materials fron, th~ vessel materials within the core beltline region.
The flux wires and test specimens removed from the capsule were tested according to ASTM E185-82. The methods and results of testing are prese~ted in. References 6.22 and 623, as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendices G and H(Referen~es 6.10 and 6.21 ). There are two remaining OCGS surveillance ccipsules which will remain in place to serve as backup surveillance material for the BWRVIP program; Qr as otherwise needed.
Currently, OCGS has made a licensing commitment to replace the existing material surveillance program with the BWRVIP ISP (Reference 6.24) in the lice.nse amendment issued by the NRC regarding _implementaUon of the BVVRVIP ISP; dated April 27, 2004 (Reference 6.18). The BWRVIP ISP meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix H, for Integrated Surveillance Pr~grams, and has been approved by NRC. U111der the ISP, there are no furth'er capsules from OCGS to be tested. Representative surveillance capsule materials for the OCGS limiting beltline plate and weld are in the Cooper and Hatch Unit 2 surveillance capsule programs, respectively. The next Cooper surveillance capsule is scheduled to be withdrawn and tested under the ISP in approximately 2029 at 40 EFPY. Th1e next Hatch Unit 2 surveillance capsule is
, , I . .
scheduled for withdrawal and testing under the ISP in approximately 2027 at 37 EFPY.
