2.0     CONSERVATISM / ASSUMPTIONS
: 1. The weld allowable flaw size is based on radial tensile membrane force acting on the weld, however it is conservatively evaluated based on SRSS method excluding the compressive stresses in the weld.
: 2. The secondary loads would tend to reduce with the reduction in stiffness of a component. However, conservatively the secondary stresses are scaled, increased, for the reduction in the OTCP weld size.

[5.1].
3.3 Bounding Load Combinations All bounding normal, off-normal and accident load combinations are taken from Ref. [5.2].
3.4      OTCP Weld Depth The minimum depth of the partial penetration OTCP to Shell closure weld is 0.48" [5.8]
4.0      METHODOLOGY 4.1 DSC Evaluation for Reduced Weld Evaluation The noncompliant closure welds with respect to the liquid penetrant (PT) examination process are the OTCP and ITCP closure welds. However, only the OTCP plate closure weld is not completely filled and minimum measured weld is found to be 0.488". The OTCP plate closure weld stresses are reevaluated for a throat size of 0.48". The ITCP weld where the weld preparation depth of 3/16" is fully filled has no reduction in the weld area.
All the DSC components primary loads (membrane and bending) are evaluated assuming the closure welds as line welds, i.e. pin connection. Hence, the existing evaluations performed in Ref. [5.2] for primary loads for all the DSC components except the OTCP weld are unaffected by the non-compliant closure welds.
The thermal loads which are secondary loads would tend to reduce with the reduction in stiffness of the components. Hence the existing evaluations performed in Ref. [5.2] for secondary loads would remain bounding for all the components. However, conservatively all secondary stresses are scaled for the 0.48" weld.
Hence, the existing evaluations performed in Ref. [5.2], remain bounding for all the DSC components, except for the OTCP closure weld. The OTCP closure weld is reevaluated in Section 7.1 4.2 Allowable Flaw Evaluation Proprietary Information Withheld Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390

7.0       COMPUTATIONS 7.1      OTCP Weld for Reduced Weld Size Evaluation The primary stress controlling load combinations for the OTCP are listed in Ref. ([5.2], Table 52). For all the primary loads the weld is modelled as a line weld with no bending moment passing through. Hence, the weld stresses are scaled by a ratio of weld throat sizes (0.50"/0.48")=1.042. These stresses are listed in Table 1.
The secondary stress controlling load combinations for the OTCP are listed in Ref. ([5.2], Table 53). The three components of the secondary stress are membrane (Pm), bending (Pb) and thermal stress (Q). The reduction in weld size would increase the Pm by 1.042 and the bending by (1.0422 = 1.085). The thermal stress would tend to reduce with the reduction in stiffness. However, conservatively the entire secondary stresses at the weld are scaled by a ratio of 1.085. These stresses are listed in Table 2.

The maximum stress ratio for all the service level A, B C and D for the OTCP weld is 0.85.
The OTCP and ITPC closure welds for individual and combination load cases are listed in Table 4 through Table 7. The allowable flaw for surface and subsurface flaws for OTCP and ITCP are listed below.
OTCP Surface/ Subsurface Crack: 0.27 inch and 3600 along the circumference ITCP Surface/ Subsurface Crack:        0.10 inch and 3600 along the circumference

==9.0      CONCLUSION==
S The DSC stress evaluation show that the reduced weld size of 0.48" for the OTCP will have no adverse effect on the design functions of the DSC. All the component stresses remain below the stress allowable limits. The evaluations performed in this calculation indicate that the minimum allowable flaw size for the OTCP and ITCP is 0.27" and 0.10" for a full 360' weld flaw, respectively.

I, Paul Triska, depose and say that I am a Vice President of AREVA Inc., duly authorized to execute this affidavit, and have reviewed or caused to have reviewed the information which is identified as proprietary and referenced in the paragraph immediately below.J. am submitting this affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.390 of the regulations for withholding this information.
The information for which proprietary treatment is sought 'is described below, The calculation listed is intended to be submitted to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission in conjunction with an exemption request from Xcel Energy:
o    Calculation No. 11042-0204 Revision 2, 7Structural and Allowable Flaw Size Evaluation of the Spent Fuel Storage Canisters with Nonconforming Closure Welds at Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant" This document has been appropriately designated as proprietary.
I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by AREVA Inc. in .designating information as -a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b) (4) of Section 2,390 of the regulations, the following is furnished for consideration in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure, included in the abovc rcfercnccd document, should bc withheld.
: 1) The information sought to be withheld .from public disclosure involves calculation details associated with structural analysis of a spent nuclear fuel dry storage system, which are owned and have been held in confidence by AREVA Inc.
: 2)   The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by AREVA Inc. and not customarily disclosed to.die public. AREVA Inc. has a rational basis for determining the typesof information customarily held in confidence.
: 3) Public disclosure of the information is likely .to cause* substantial harm to the competitive position of AREVA Inc. because the information is related to calculation details associated with structural analysis of a spent nuclear fuel dry storage system, the application of which provides a competitive economic advantage.
The availability of such informati.on to competitors would enable them to modify their product to better compete with AREVA Inc.., take marketing or other actions to .[mprove their product's position or impair the position of AREVA Inc.'s product, and avoid developing similar data and analyses in support of their processes, methods or apparatus.
Further the deponent sayeth not.
