RAI 1
Issue:
The licensee states in Section 4 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement dated July 30, 2020 that 2 million realizations were performed as part of the probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) analysis (see fifth paragraph of Section 4). However, the licensee states in Section 5 of to the Supplement dated July 30, 2020 that no failures occurred for any path in 1 million simulations A similar statement is found in Enclosure 4 to letter dated June 23, 2020. The staff takes the term simulation to mean realization, in this context. There is an apparent discrepancy in the submitted documents on the number of realizations performed as part of the PFM analysis.
Request:
Clarify how many realizations were performed as part of the PFM analysis.
Response
In the context used, it is confirmed that simulation and realization are interchangeable. One million simulations were performed for the PFM analysis, and probabilities of failure are calculated for one million simulations. In the fifth paragraph of Section 4 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement dated July 30, 2020, 2 million times is a typographical error and should read one million times.
RAI 2
Issue:
The licensee states in Section 5 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement dated July 30, 2020 that the probability of failure is estimated as 1 failure / 1 million realizations / 60 years = 1.67 x 10-8 per year. This calculation implies that a converged solution was reached in the PFM. The uncertainty in the mean failure probability is not addressed in the licensees PFM analysis. This uncertainty may be important when comparing the mean failure probability to the chosen acceptance criterion of 5x10-6 per year, if the acceptance criterion is within two standard deviations of the mean failure probability.
Request:
Provide (1) a discussion of the uncertainty on the mean failure probability in relation to the acceptance criterion and (2) a discussion of solution convergence.
RA-20-0324 Enclosure Page 3 of 7
Response
(1, 2)
The uncertainty in the mean failure probability is addressed by determining the error associated with the Monte Carlo simulation. In the Monte Carlo simulation, errors in the estimated failure probability resulting from a given number simulations/realizations (i.e., sample size) can be evaluated as [1]:
% Error = 200
where is the probability of failure and n is the sample size (number of realizations). It should be noted that the error in the estimation of the probability of failure is due to the limited sample size which also affects the convergence. For example, when an infinite number of realizations is performed (which leads to total convergence), the error in the estimation of mean probability of failure would be zero. The error (and the lack of convergence) increases as the sample size is decreased from infinity.
As detailed in the response to RAI 4 below, there were no failures in the nozzle-to-shell welds and nozzle inner radius sections using one million iterations. The conditional cumulative (mean) probability of failure for a Low Temperature Overpressure (LTOP) event is therefore less than 1.0x10-6. The estimated error using the above relation is 200%. Thus, it is 95% (approximately two standard deviations) likely that the actual probability would be within 1.0x10-6 +/- 2
Taking the upper bound of this will result in a conditional cumulative probability of failure for an LTOP event less than 3.0x10-6. This corresponds to a conditional probability of failure less than 5x10-8 per year after dividing by 60 years.
Considering the LTOP occurrence of 1x10-3 per year, the upper bound probability of failure during an LTOP occurrence is less than 5x10-11 per year. This upper bound probability of failure for an LTOP event bounds the Brunswick LTOP results in Table 12 of Enclosure 1 (See table in response to RAI 4) and is at least five orders of magnitude less than the acceptance criterion of 5x10-6. Because of the relatively low probability of failure compared to the acceptance criterion for an LTOP event, any uncertainty (even an order of magnitude) should not affect the conclusion of the PFM evaluation and accounts for any uncertainty in solution convergence.
Furthermore, convergence studies were performed in Section 8.2.1 of BWRVIP-05 [2] for the VIPER Code (the predecessor to VIPER-NOZ) to show that the use of 1 million realizations is adequate to achieve convergence. All important features such as solution convergence developed for the VIPER code in BWRVP-05 were maintained in the VIPER-NOZ code.

RAI 3
Issue:
On page 6 of Enclosure 1 to the letter dated June 23, 2020, the licensee states that they will perform either a volumetric exam or VT-1 and that the VT-1 examination is outlined in Code Case N-648-2, Alternative Requirements for Inner Radius Examinations of Class 1 Reactor Vessel Nozzles. The staff notes that the NRCs condition on Code Case N-702 in Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 19 requires the use of Code Case N-648-2 if VT-1 is used in place of the volumetric exam.
Request:
Confirm that Code Case N-648-2 will be used for VT-1 exams, in accordance with NRCs condition on Code Case N-702.
Response
When a VT-1 examination is used in place of a volumetric examination, ASME Code Case N-684-2, Alternative Requirements for Inner Radius Examinations of Class 1 Reactor Vessel Nozzles, will be used for the VT-1 examination in accordance with required conditions specified in Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 19.
RAI 4
Issue:
The staff noted that the probability of failure at the blend radius of the Brunswick recirculation outlet nozzle due to low temperature overpressure (LTOP), as shown in Table 12 of Enclosure 1 of the July 30, 2020 supplement, is much lower compared to the probability of failure at the blend radius in one of the nozzles (Columbia) analyzed in BWRVIP-241, BWR Vessel and Internals Project: Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics Evaluation for the Boiling Water Reactor Nozzle-to-Vessel Shell Welds and Nozzle Blend Radii. The staff noted that the transient cycles for the Brunswick recirculation outlet nozzle (Table 5 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement) are similar to the transient cycles for the Columbia recirculation outlet nozzle (Table 5-5 of BWRVIP-241). The staff also compared stresses and noted that the stresses at the Brunswick recirculation outlet nozzle blend radius are higher (Figures 10 and 11 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement) than those at the Columbia recirculation outlet nozzle blend radius (Figures 4-44 through 4-47 of BWRVIP-241). Given that the random parameters are the same for both cases (Table 11 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement for Brunswick and Table 5-1 of BWRVIP-241, Case 5, for Columbia), the staff expected that the probability of failure for Brunswick would be slightly higher than the probability of failure for Columbia. However, the LTOP probability of failure at the blend radius for Brunswick is five orders of magnitude lower than for the corresponding case for Columbia (Table 12 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement for Brunswick compared to Table 5-9 of BWRVIP-241 for Columbia).
RA-20-0324 Enclosure Page 5 of 7 Request:
Explain why the probability of failure at the nozzle blend radius of the Brunswick recirculation outlet nozzle due to LTOP is so much lower than the corresponding probability of failure for the Columbia recirculation outlet nozzle.
Response
The inside surface stresses for the Brunswick recirculation outlet nozzle blend radius (Figures 10 and 11 of Enclosure 1 to the supplement) are higher than those for the Columbia recirculation outlet nozzle blend radius (Figures 4-44 through 4-47 of BWRVIP-241). However, in determining the crack driving force (the stress intensity factor (K)) through the thickness of the blend radius, the shape of the through-wall stress distribution is an important factor. It can be seen from the through-wall stress distributions for the thermal transients that the stresses for Brunswick although higher on the inside surface, decays at a faster rate than those at Columbia and this could alter the K distribution through the wall. Using the through-wall stress intensity factor distributions calculated in the VIPER-NOZ output files for Columbia from BWRVIP-241-A and from the Brunswick evaluation, the K distribution for the limiting transient at Columbia (Pressure + SRV Blowdown) is compared to the limiting case (Path 1) at Brunswick (Pressure +
Improper Start of Recirc. Loop) in the figure below for the nozzle blend radius.

Stress Intensity Factor of Limiting Transient + Unit Pressure Columbia - SRV + P Brunswick - ISCRL-M + P
RA-20-0324 Enclosure Page 6 of 7 It can be seen from this figure that the maximum K for Columbia (127.5 ksiin) is higher than that for Brunswick (110.1 ksiin) by 15%. For fatigue crack growth where the K is raised to a power of 2.927, this translates into crack growth of 50% higher for Columbia, and for stress corrosion crack growth where the K is raised to a power of 4.0, this translates into crack growth of 80% higher for Columbia. It is for this reason that the LTOP probability of failure for Columbia is higher than that for Brunswick.
The probabilities of failure for the Columbia recirculation outlet nozzle reported in Table 5-9 of BWRVIP-241-A are the conditional probabilities of failure. To calculate the probability of failure due to an LTOP event, these conditional probabilities are multiplied by the probability of an LTOP event occurrence (1x10-3). For normal operating condition, the probability of failure is the same as the conditional probability of failure. For no failure (NF) results without tabulated values, the conditional probability of failure is calculated as less than 1 failure in the total number of simulations (<1 failure / 1,000,000 simulations / 40 years = 2.5 x 10-8). The total number of simulations is assumed to be one million, which is consistent with recirculation outlet nozzle simulations in Table 5-4 of BWRVIP-108-A.
The table below compares the probability of failure for an LTOP event and the probability of failure for normal operation at the nozzle blend radius and the nozzle-to-shell welds for the recirculation outlet nozzles for Columbia from Table 5-9 of BWRVIP-241-A and Brunswick in Table 12 of Enclosure 1 of the July 30, 2020 supplement. The number of failures in the simulations are also provided in the table, and both evaluations performed one million simulations.
For the nozzle-to-shell welds, there were no failures in the recirculation outlet nozzle for both Columbia and Brunswick, and the probabilities of failure are comparable and are dependent on the total number of simulations (no failures in 1 million simulations) and evaluated plant life (40 years and 60 years for Columbia and Brunswick, respectively).
For the nozzle inside radius, the higher LTOP probability of failure of Columbia with failures compared to Brunswick with no failures is due to the reason provided above.

RAI 5
Issue:
The licensee stated that the neutron fluence projections or evaluation for the BSEP reactor pressure vessel nozzle-to-vessel welds and inner radii over the period of extended operation (54 effective full power years) can be found from RR, WCAP-17660 (Reference 3) and Pressure-Temperature Limits report elated documents. The staff uses the neutron fluence values as reported in WCAP-17660 to infer the neutron fluence at the recirculation outlet nozzles below:
Neutron Fluence Projections at 54 EFPY (WCAP-17660)
Unit 1 Unit 2 Girth Weld FG (254 AVO*)
1.0x1018 ~ 2.8x1018 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-17) 0.9x1018 ~ 2.9x1018 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-42)
H6A (183 AVO) 4.7x1017 ~ 1.9x1018 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-6) 4.7x1017 ~ 2.0x1018 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-31)
H6B (179 AVO) 1.8x1017 ~ 7.2x1017 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-7) 1.8x1017 ~ 7.5x1017 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-32)
Girth Weld GH (110 AVO) 0.8x1012 ~ 2.3x1012 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-16) 0.8x1012 ~ 2.3x1012 n/cm2 (Table 2.2-41)
- AVO = Above Vessel Zero Based on Figure 2.1-4 of WCAP-17660, the recirculation outlet nozzles are located between the elevations of Girth Weld GH and Girth Weld FG. The actual elevation for recirculation outlet nozzle center is 161 AVO (Reference 4). By adding up the outer radius of the nozzle, 24, to the center elevation, it appears that the upper 25% of the nozzle would be exposed to a neutron fluence > 1.0x1017 n/cm2 at 54 EFPY.
Request:
Provide additional information or justification for the conclusion that the neutron fluence for the welds between the BSEP reactor pressure vessel and nozzles is less than 1.0x1017 n/cm2 at 54 EFPY.
Response
Additional information related to the fluence analysis for the BSEP reactor pressure vessel and nozzles is provided in Westinghouse Letter LTR-REA-13-19 (Attachment 1), Additional Request for RPV Fast Neutron Fluence at Brunswick Unit 1 and 2, February 27, 2013. This Westinghouse letter provides the life-time fluence for 54 Effective-Full-Power-Years (EFPY) of operation at the recirculation outlet nozzles (N1) at 0° and 180° azimuths; the top elevations of these nozzles are at 192.9 above vessel zero. The azimuthal profiles (since the reactor exhibits quadrant symmetry only a 0° to 90° sector is depicted) clearly indicate that the life-time fluence at N1 nozzles are below the extended beltline fluence threshold of 1.0x1017 n/cm2 (E >
1MeV) for Brunswick Unit 1 and Unit 2.

The purpose of this transmittal is to respond to the request of additional information described in Reference 2. The information requested are related to the Brunswick Units 1 and 2 fluence analysis performed by Westinghouse as documented in Reference 1.
The following graphic presentations are attached to this transmittal:
Figure 1 displays the life-time fluence for 54 Effective-Full-Power-Years (EFPY) of operation at the recirculation outlet nozzles (N1) at 0° and 180° azimuths; the top elevations of these nozzles are at 192.9 above vessel zero. The azimuthal profiles in Figure 1 clearly indicate that the life-time fluence at N1 nozzles are below the extended beltline fluence threshold of 1e17 n/cm2 for Brunswick Unit 1 and Unit 2.
Figure 2 displays similar life-time fluence profiles at the recirculation inlet nozzles (N2) located at 30°, 60° and 90° of each quadrant; the top elevations of these nozzles are at 196.4 above vessel zero. Figure 2 demonstrates that the life-time fluences at N2 nozzles are also below the extended beltline fluence threshold of 1e17 n/cm2 for both Units 1 and 2.
Figure 3 illustrates the fluence profile above girth weld EF, axially along the vertical welds E1 and E2 at 75° and 255° azimuth, respectively. The elevations of girth welds as well as the life-time fluence at each girth weld have been documented in Reference 1. Figure 3 indicates that slightly (less than 1 cm) above girth weld EF or at 481 cm above the bottom of active fuel (BAF), the life-time fluences of vertical welds E1 and E2 will drop below the extended beltline threshold of 1e17 n/cm2.
