* j RESPONSE TO ACTIONS REQUESTED IN NRCB NO.,87-01 This response will address each of the' actions requested in NRC Bulletin No.       87-01: Thinning of Pipe Walls in Nuclear Power Plants. Attachment 1' lists specific line numbers identified by Engineering as being susceptible to. Erosion / Corrosion. Attachment 2 is the' General Electric Design' Specification, 22A5495 Revision 1, Lused by. Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation in determining the corrosion allowances used in wall thickness evaluation.
: 1.      Safety- related    (QA Cat' I) carbon steel piping. was' designed, fabricated, and erected in accordance with ASME III        .1974. Codes &                                           '
Standards: Design, fabrication, and erection of non-safety related (QA Cat. II)   carbon steel piping was in accordance with ANSI
                     'B31.1-1973    through    Winter,-    1979   Addendum,     Table                        126.1, Specifications ~ (Piping- material - ASTM A106, CR.B; fittings - ASTM A105 & A234WPB).
: 2.      Scope- and Extent:      The' Erosion / Corrosion Control      Program                                   is described     in     Engineering      Department     Procedure-Mechanical Engineering-71 (EDP-ME-71). This procedure describes the purpose as establishing and implementing through the Maintenance Work Order a program of augmented inspection and analysis of Balance of Plant (QA Cat II) high energy, carbon steel. piping for the purpose of detecting evidence of pipe wall thinning caused by erosion / corrosion (E/C).
EDP-ME-71 briefly explains the various erosion / corrosion parameters and establishes acceptance criteria for the inspection results.
These inspections will be performed by qualified Quality. Control (QC) personnel using their approved visual and ultrasonic (UT) procedures. The procedure also gives guidelines on selection of sections of piping or components having greater potential for wall thinning due to erosion / corrosion. Keller's Equation is to be used as the. primary basis for prioritizing components for inspection during- future outages.      The first refueling outage will have an
  ,.                ' abbreviated inspection effort for the purpose of gaining experience.
Inspections will include areas of piping identified by~ industry failures as being'nighly susceptible to erosion / corrosion:                               1.e.,
condensate    suction to feedwater pumps,        feedwater short cycle min-flow recire, heater drains, extraction, and turbine cross-under piping. Nine lines have been identified and two control valves will be disassembled and inspection.
Erosion / corrosion inspection is applicable to all high energy (high temperature and high pressure) carbon steel piping and components in the balance of plant    (QA Cat II).       The inspections are QA-Not Applicable.
The following systems are included in the Erosion / Corrosion Control Program (additions / deletions may be made based upon industry and station inspection experience):
Cold Reheat (Turbine Cross-under Piping)

Hot Reheat (Turbine Cross-over Piping)
High Pressure Turbine Extraction Low Pressure Turbine Extraction Heater Drains and Vents Feedwater Condensate Specific line numbers identified by Engineering as being susceptible to Erosion / Corrosion are shown on Attachment #1.
Inspections will be documented (by mapping where necessary) and attached to the Maintenance Work Order (MWO) package._ Engineering will review the inspection results to criteria identified in EDP-ME-71 and make recommendations to maintenance accordingly.
Reinspection schedules will be calculated and recorded in accordance with EDP-ME-71.
: a. The inspection points selected for thickness measurements are described in EDP-ME-71. Basically, they consist of elbows, and downstream of valves, orifices, and other flow restrictions.
: b. The frequency of inspection is based upon 100% inspection of the susceptible pipe Ifnes identified by Engineering (Attachment #1) by the sixth refueling outage. This equates to approximately ten (10) years, which is the industry average for experiencing these types of failures.       Frequencies of inspected piping will be adjusted according to the results as described in EDP-ME-71.
With regard to the inspection of high steam flow piping for evidence of internal pipe wall erosion, Engineering requires inspection of the following during each refueling outage:
Extraction From HP Turbine (Rotate the inspection of the lines and MSR inspected during each subsequent outage, such that all similar items and lines will be inspected by the sixth outage.)
i
: 1. One of the six (6) cross under pipes form the High Pressure (HP)                     l Turbine to the Moisture Separator Reheater (MSR) and inlets of one of the MSRs.
: 2. All elbows of one of the two extraction lines from the HP Turbine to the first point feedwater heaters (line             nos.
1ESS-107-4; IESS-108-4).
: 3. All elbows including the initial branch tee of one of the two extraction branch lines off to the cross under piping to the 2nd                     ,
point feedwater heaters (line nos. IESS-105-4; IESS-106-4).                          l l

: 7. One of the two ist point heater drain lines to the 2nd point heaters.
: 8. One of the two 2nd point heater drain lines to the condenser.
: 9. One of the two 2nd point heater drain lines to the 3rd point                                                              d heater.

condenser.
: 13. One of the two 5th point heater drain cooler lines to the condenser.
: 14. One of the two drain receiver tank drain lines to the condenser.
Quality Control will verify and document these inspections and a copy of the inspection results will be sent to Engineering for evaluation. Depending upon the inspection results, the intervals for inspection may be adjusted by Engineering accordingly.
Should any significant evidence of pipe wall erosion be detected, then the remaining lines which perform similar functions must also be inspected for possible deterioration. Additional direction will                                                             i be provided by Engineering.
For each of the lines listed,   excluding those in the Extraction Steam System, the area of concern is that portion of each line including and immediately downstream of the control valve. In each case,   the pressure drop imposed by the valve could cause " flashing" and " cavitation" should occur at a poitc. less than f1ve     (5) pipe diameters downstream of the control vab es.
The potential impact on operations due to erosion has been reduced in the design phase by either increasing the wall thickness of the
;           downstream piping or utilizing materials (e.g., 1-1/4 CR- 1/2 Mo or
;           304 SS) in the downstream piping that are more resistant than carbon l           steel to the effects of erosion.

              .                                                                                i i                     For the Extraction Steam System, the concern is the creation and
                      " carryover" of moisture in the steam at relatively high velocities that might cause erosion. This effect could occur anywhere in the         ,-
system during operation. Again the potential impact on operations due to erosion has been reduced during the course of design by the extensive use of 1-1/4 CR- 1/2 Mo and 304 SS piping in this system.
A. Periodic Inspection of Control Valve Internals The internals of each control valve noted in Attachment I should be inspected periodically for erosion damage.         In those cases where an increase in noise, an increase in vibration or a decrease in the efficiency of the control valve is noted during operation, immediate inspection is warranted.
B. Periodic Ultrasonic (UT) Inspection of Downstream Piping The wall thickness of each line noted in Attachment I downstream of    the    appropriate    control   valve   should be inspected periodically for erosion damage via UT inspection.              As a minimum, all piping should be scanned linearly from the control valve to a point five (5) pipe diameters downstream of the control valve (including fittings and bends) starting at each of four (4) positions around the piping (i.e., the 3:00, 6:00, 9:00 and 12:00 o' clock positions).        An unacceptable indication of erosion is considered as any reading where the wall thickness is less than the minimum wall thickness (including manufacturing tolerances) for the specified schedule or nominal wall thickness of the piping installed.         Should any indications of erosion exist in the first five (5) pipe diameters, the scan should be continued     at   one   (1) pipe diameter intervals until no indications exist for at least two (2) pipe diameters.
C. Periodic Ultrasonic Inspection of Extraction Steam Piping The wall thickness of the Extraction Steam System lines should be inspected periodically for erosion damage via UT inspection.
All carbon steel Extraction Steam System lines except those           i lines in the condenser should be scanned starting at each of the      i first two changes in direction downstream of the extraction           i point, for a distance not less than five (5) pipe diameters. If       i erosion exists at the second change in direction, the scanning       f should be continued to the next change in direction, etc.
D. Evaluation and Resolution of Erosion Indications All indications of erosion in valves and piping shall be brought to the attention of Engineering for evaluation and resolution as      j deemed necessary by Engineering.
The below listed minimum inspections are to be performed during the Reload-1 refueling outage. This will allow River Bend to begin an Erosion-Corrosion Monitoring Program, and gain experience.        Future inspections will be adjusted based upon experience.          Since this first inspection is an attempt to initiate an erosion / corrosion 1  l

The Line Designation Table (LDT) was consulted and the selections were made to include those carbon steel lines which operate within a band of 350+90*F,    and pressures having significant damage        or    injury potential (i.e. operating / design pressure greater than 100 psig).

: c. The methods'used-to measure' thickness are visual'and ultrasonic h                                  (UT) as described in EDP-ME-71.- These UT inspections will be in accordance with approved QA procedure QCI-3.28.                      '
: d. Repair / replacement decisions are described in. EDP-ME-71 and
                                . basically are determined by the design minimum wall thickness.
L                                 Any inspections which measure at or below the design minimum L                               z wall    thickness will be recommended for repair /   replacement depending on the actual individual-circumstances.
: 3. Criteria .used for_ selecting points of          inspection   -for   both liquid-phase 'and ftwo-phase systems are described in EDP-ME-71 and include the following~ factors:
l
: a. Piping material - carbon steel (lines fabricated of stainless or l
Cr-Mo steel are not selected).
I-                                Note:' Most of the turbine extraction piping is either 304 stainless or 1-1/4 Cr-1/2 Mo.
: b. Piping configuration - all fittings and restrictions to flow will be inspected.       Piping configuration can also have a significant impact on turbulence.        At .Surry, the feedpump suction line has- two quick changes in flow direction whereas with the River Bend design the suction line branches off the main header at a 45 degree angle and eventually levels out using a 45 degree elbow. This is a more favorable transition.
The piping selected at the Surry unit was       18" extra strong, which has a nominal wall thickness of 0.5 inches (min. code allowable is 0.36 inches). The piping at River Bend'is 20" sch.
40, which has a nominal wall thickness of 0.59 inches (min, code allowable is 0.39 inches). This provides River Bend with an additional 60 mils of pipe wall.
A review of the steam piping systems materials and design indicate that the extraction steam system piping was designed to utilize long radius elbows and adequate drains to remove moisture. The extraction steam-inside the condenser,      feedwater heater und MSR drains downstream of the level control valves subject to flashing utilize type 304 stainless steel.            The extraction steam-outside condenser utilizes 1-1/4% chromium, 1/2% molybdenum materials.      Gulf St&tes Utilities does not believe the extraction steam piping containing 1-1/4% chromium and 1/2% molybdenum or stainless steel type 304 requires upgrade since the pipe materials containing one to two percent chrome are four to five times more resistant to erosion than carbon steel and stainless steel is roughly one thousand times more resistant.

: 1.                  According to INP0 SOER No.                                                           82-11,  piping materials which contain I to 2 percent chrome have been found to reduce erosion rates by a factor of four to five times over carbon steel.                                      A review of the extraction steam system flow diagrams shows the use of 1-1/4 percent chrome and 1/2 percent molybdenum steel piping material. This choice of material was applied to the piping for the first to fourth point heaters employ the use of a stainless steel piping material.                                            The referenced INPO report states that his material can be significantly more resistant to erosion than carbon steel. The use of these materials alone would help to minimize the risk of piping system erosion.
                                                                                                                                                                                         ] '

1s reduced where possible.                                                              A review of              the          piping      '
arrangement drawings associated with extraction steam was conducted.                                          In general, all piping is sloped to prevent water traps, and no reducers were used that would create a water trap. Where lines are tied together in a manner where steam jet impingement could occur, lateral fittings have been used.

Based on the data supplied by INPO and the NRC,                                                                                          the fluid velocity at the Surry unit was 17.6 feet /second. At River Bend the fluid velocity thru the feedwater suction line is 10.5 feet /second.                                                           This shows a 33% decrease in feed water flow which would indicate less turbulence.                                                                               Damage at the Surry unit occurred after the unit was operating for over 13 years as compared to River Bend's one year of operation.
: f. Oxygen content is mainrained between 20-50 ppb in accordance with the GE Fuel Warranty and does not need to be considered in determining erosion / corrosion determination.
NOTE: Although the water quality is set by Fuel Warranty and cannot be adjusted, it can be seen that the oxygen content, is high enough to inhibit erosion / corrosion.
: 4. Refueling Outage (RO) - #1 will be the first opportunity to initiate inspections specifically conducted for the purpose of identifying pipe wall thinning caused by erosion / corrosion.

This inspection was a UT scan of:the first elbow downstream'of a' relief valve in a high radiation area on the. heater drain system which was isuspected of. leakage past'the' seat 'and flashing to the-condenser.- The piping nominal thickness was .375 in. with a minimum design wall thickness of .276 in.        Results of the -inspection were thicknesses of between .420 in. and
                                                 .450'in. for,the radius of the elbow and between .380 in, and. 390'in, at both ends of.the elbow. All results were acceptable being greater .than' the specified          nominal thickness.

5L. River Bend. has no plans for developing new or additional programs-
:for monitoring pipe wall' thickness. The present program is-recently developed and is expected to be revised and refined as experience is gained during these inspections.
The safety-related . systems are not presently included in the' Erosion / Corrosion ' Control Program. Culf States Utilities believes
                                    -that the ASME XI Inservice Inspection program examinations of welds will' identify evidence of any. erosion which will lead to further ultrasonic wall thickness' examinations if warranted.
