This license condition requires that the results of the inspection be submitted in a report within 90 days following startup from each of the first two respective refueling outages. Summary: The Unit 2 Replacement Steam Dryer was inspected during the fall 2016 refueling outage, P2R21, from October 26th through November 4th, 2016. This was the first refueling outage following installation of the RSD in November 2014 and operation at Extended Power Uprate (EPU) conditions since May 2015. The inspections were performed in accordance with the requirements of the WCAP-17635-P and recommendations from the manufacturer, Westinghouse. The inspection scope was defined based upon Operating Experience (OE) for the Westinghouse steam dryer design from previous installations, high cyclical stress locations determined from the dryer acoustic analysis, similarities to BWRVIP-139-A inspection locations and finally, by higher stress locations where solution annealing of structural welds had not been performed. The guidelines for the dryer inspection are defined in WCAP-17635-P Section 5. Table 5-1 provides the inspection locations for the Unit 2 RSD following the first cycle of operation at EPU conditions. A general visual examination (VT-3) was performed on the entire RSD. The baseline inspection included the top of the RSD (including the outside of the skirt), underside of the RSD, lifting rods, hold down rods, support ring, outer ring top cage, W and U channel guides, support ring, vertical drain channels, outer, middle and inner hoods. All observations were acceptable for the structural components and welds inspected. There were indications on four welds that required further evaluation. These welds are non-structural and were not explicitly modeled or analyzed as part of the structural qualification of the steam dryer. The summary results of the inspections can be found in the table below.

IR 2734507). Indications have been dispositioned as use-as-is. The indications do not adversely affect the Attachment -Results of Visual Inspection for PBAPS Unit 2 Replacement Steam Dryer Page 6 of6 steam dryer's structural integrity. These welds are non-structural and were not explicitly modeled or analyzed as part of the structural qualification of the steam dryer. All hold down rod weld locations are scheduled for re-inspection during the Unit 2 P2R22 in 2018 to determine if any changes have occurred. No other recordable indications were identified during the inspection process. Disposition of Indications: During P2R21, cracks were observed at the AA335740 W7 fillet weld at the hold down rod interface to the support ring for all four (4) hold down rod locations at 37.75, 142.25, 217.75 and 322.25 degree azimuths. The non-structural fillet welds (AA335740 W7) of the hold down rod are for positioning and anti-rotation during construction. In that function, as construction welds, they do not carry primary load. The hold down rod function does not depend on the non-structural AA335740 W7 fillet weld. During plant operation, the positioning at the bottom of the hold down rod is guaranteed by the threaded bottom part; and the rotation is maintained on top by the top bracket and its structural hold down rod top to rod AA335740 W10 weld. The AA 335740 W7 non-structural welds are not credited to show ASME Ill Code compliance for the hold down function. The purpose for including this weld in the inspection plan was primarily due to its inclusion in BWRVIP-139-A, which requires inspection of similar locations on GE steam dryer based on previous operating experience. Based on review of the purpose of the fillet weld, the critical aspect of the inspection for the hold down rod attachment to the ring is the integrity of the threaded connection at the ring attachment location. The inspection has confirmed no crack extension into the rod and no crack extension into the rod is anticipated. The top bracket with its structural welds AA335740 W10 maintains position, prevents rotation and assures thread engagement, thus eliminating any risk for loose parts. The design stress margins for the top bracket remain unchanged by the cracking of the construction fillet welds at the bottom support ring location. No repair is required to the non-structural welds at the bottom of the hold down rods. The AA335740 W7 locations will be re-inspected during P2R22 to confirm no crack extension into the hold down rod at the ring attachment location or crack initiation at the upper bracket welds. These conditions do not impact the HDRs ability to perform their function of preventing uncontrolled lift off after stream line break in faulted condition. No linear indications (fatigue or IGSCC cracks) were identified on any of the lifting rods or at the top of the hold down rod assemblies. As such, there is no degradation mechanism present that could impact the integrity of the attachment weld to the top of the HOR bracket, or the integrity of the HOR itself. Conclusion: A complete baseline inspection of the Peach Bottom Unit 2 Steam Dryer was performed during the fall 2016 refueling outage 21. The baseline inspection included successful visual inspection of all of the inspection locations required by the Facility Operating License Condition 2.C(15)(f) for inspection of the Replacement Steam Dryer. All observations were acceptable for the structural components and welds inspected. There were four non-structural welds found with cracks that were dispositioned acceptable is. These welds were not explicitly modeled or analyzed as part of the structural qualification of the dryer. The subsequent inspection scope of the steam dryer will be performed during the Unit 2 P2R22 in 2018 and the results will be provided at that time consistent with the Peach Bottom Operating License. | |||

The AA 335740 W7 non-structural welds are not credited to show ASME Ill Code compliance for the hold down function. The purpose for including this weld in the inspection plan was primarily due to its inclusion in BWRVIP-139-A, which requires inspection of similar locations on GE steam dryer based on previous operating experience. Based on review of the purpose of the fillet weld, the critical aspect of the inspection for the hold down rod attachment to the ring is the integrity of the threaded connection at the ring attachment location. The inspection has confirmed no crack extension into the rod and no crack extension into the rod is anticipated. The top bracket with its structural welds AA335740 W10 maintains position, prevents rotation and assures thread engagement, thus eliminating any risk for loose parts. The design stress margins for the top bracket remain unchanged by the cracking of the construction fillet welds at the bottom support ring location. No repair is required to the non-structural welds at the bottom of the hold down rods. The AA335740 W7 locations will be re-inspected during P2R22 to confirm no crack extension into the hold down rod at the ring attachment location or crack initiation at the upper bracket welds. These conditions do not impact the HDRs ability to perform their function of preventing uncontrolled lift off after stream line break in faulted condition. No linear indications (fatigue or IGSCC cracks) were identified on any of the lifting rods or at the top of the hold down rod assemblies. As such, there is no degradation mechanism present that could impact the integrity of the attachment weld to the top of the HOR bracket, or the integrity of the HOR itself. Conclusion: A complete baseline inspection of the Peach Bottom Unit 2 Steam Dryer was performed during the fall 2016 refueling outage 21. The baseline inspection included successful visual inspection of all of the inspection locations required by the Facility Operating License Condition 2.C(15)(f) for inspection of the Replacement Steam Dryer. All observations were acceptable for the structural components and welds inspected. There were four non-structural welds found with cracks that were dispositioned acceptable is. These welds were not explicitly modeled or analyzed as part of the structural qualification of the dryer. The subsequent inspection scope of the steam dryer will be performed during the Unit 2 P2R22 in 2018 and the results will be provided at that time consistent with the Peach Bottom Operating License.
