The visual inspection revealed cracking in the shroud support legs but no indications were identified in the welds H8 and H9.This evaluation is performed to quantify the structural margin retaining the shroud support plate H8and H9 welds after one cycle of additional operation assuming plastic collapse in shear to be theapplicable failure mode because the most significant loading is the uplift load due to the verticalseismic and the pressure difference across the shroud support plate.2.0 TECHNICAL APPROACHThe technical approach used for this evaluation is based on the BWRVIP-76

In limit load evaluation, elastic-perfectly plastic material properties are used.3.0 ASSUMPTIONS The following assumptions are used: a. Loading in weld H8 and weld H9 is assumed to be pure shear due to the most significant loads being the vertical seismic and the pressure difference across the shroud support plate.b. Material properties of Alloy 600 compatible weld metal are assumed to be the same as the Alloy 600 base metal.c. The shear load is assumed to be evenly distribution between the weld H8 and weld H9.d. The shear load is assumed to be evenly distributed in the remaining ligament of each weld.e. For uninspected region, through-wall cracking is assumed. This is conservative since no credit is taken for the uninspected region.f. For inspected region, surface cracking with depth of 75% of the plate thickness is assumed.This assumption is based on the general evidence provided by the BWR fleet shroud cracking data. The flaws generally arrest at 2/3 of the wall thickness, so the assumption of a 75% wall flaw is conservative.

Each of these contains significant conservatisms, which compensate for any uncertainty in the flaw depths. It is important to note that BWR shroud cracking history, of which there is a significant amount, has shown that typically cracks in shroud welds grow to approximately two-thirds of the shroud wall and then appear to become essentially inactive.

These two crack profiles are: (a) Multiple Cracks: A through-wall crack is postulated in the uninspected regions and a remaining ligament of 1/3 of the plate thickness in the inspected region is postulated since inspection was performed on the top side only. The 1/3 wall remaining ligament is based on field experience for BWR shroud welds.(b) Full Circumferential Surface Crack: A surface crack at the bottom plate surface extending along the circumferential length of Weld H8 and H9 with a crack depth at 75% of the support plate thickness is postulated.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

During the Spring 2011 outage, inspection of the Monticello shroud support plate weld H8 and weld H9 was performed.

Visual inspection (EVT1) coverage was obtained from jet pump JP20 to JPI and JP10 to JP 11, as identified in Figure 1 [1]. This accounts for approximately 17% of the H8 and H9 circumference

[1]. An additional 64 inches of inspection coverage was acquired with visual inspection VT-3 on the top side of the weld [1] in the area between all the jet jumps. The visual inspection revealed cracking in the shroud support legs but no indications were identified in the welds H8 and H9.This evaluation is performed to quantify the structural margin retaining the shroud support plate H8 and H9 welds after one cycle of additional operation assuming plastic collapse in shear to be the applicable failure mode because the most significant loading is the uplift load due to the vertical seismic and the pressure difference across the shroud support plate.2.0 TECHNICAL APPROACH The technical approach used for this evaluation is based on the BWRVIP-76

[2], limit load approach.The limit load analysis for shear failure is developed based on the approach for determining the limit load for an axial crack in the shroud as presented in [2] and summarized below. Consistent with the BWRVIP methodology in [2], the failure mode of the Alloy 600 and corresponding weld materials is considered to be the net section (plastic) collapse, because of the very high ductility of these materials at reactor operating temperatures.

Also, the fluence in this region is not high enough to impact the material ductility.

The limit load for an axial crack assuming tensile failure of the remaining ligament is expressed in Section E. 1.2 of [2] as: By similar approach, the shear failure limit load for a crack in a circular weld can be expressed as: (SF)S = oj Lt (2)where: S ý shear force due to uplift load SF = safety factor File No.: 1100626.301 C ontains Vener Proprietary-inf-r..atin Page 4 of 15 Revision:

AWssOcjS, WOc asf = shear flow stress L = length of uncracked circumference in circular welds (H8/H9)t = thickness of shroud support plate.Using the maximum shear theory or Tresca criteria, the maximum shear stress at yield is half the maximum yield strength.

The shear flow stress can be expressed as: vsf = Gf/2 There are no plant specific safety factors for the Monticello shroud [1]. Per Section D.5 in Reference 2, required minimum safety factors of 2.77 for normal/upset (Level A/B) conditions and 1.39 for emergency/faulted (Level C/D) conditions are used in this evaluation.

In limit load evaluation, elastic-perfectly plastic material properties are used.3.0 ASSUMPTIONS The following assumptions are used: a. Loading in weld H8 and weld H9 is assumed to be pure shear due to the most significant loads being the vertical seismic and the pressure difference across the shroud support plate.b. Material properties of Alloy 600 compatible weld metal are assumed to be the same as the Alloy 600 base metal.c. The shear load is assumed to be evenly distribution between the weld H8 and weld H9.d. The shear load is assumed to be evenly distributed in the remaining ligament of each weld.e. For uninspected region, through-wall cracking is assumed. This is conservative since no credit is taken for the uninspected region.f. For inspected region, surface cracking with depth of 75% of the plate thickness is assumed.This assumption is based on the general evidence provided by the BWR fleet shroud cracking data. The flaws generally arrest at 2/3 of the wall thickness, so the assumption of a 75% wall flaw is conservative.

g. The SSE accelerations are twice as large as the OBE accelerations.
h. The vertical flexural shear from the moment induced by the horizontal acceleration due to the jet pump weight on the support plate is assumed to be negligible.

It was estimated that this upward flexural shear is less than 5% of the total uplift shear load.i. The material is considered to behave in an elastic-plastic manner, which is consistent with BWRVIP methodology for reactor internals in low fluence regions.j. Crack growth in the depth direction is not considered since the assumed crack depth is based on flaw depths observed from BWR fleet operating experience.

Subsequent growth is minimal due to excellent Monticello water chemistry conditions in the lower plenum.k. Seismic and LOCA are conservatively combined in order to provide added margin to the evaluation and further justify the maximum flaw depth based on BWR fleet operating experience.

Reactor vessel inside diameter (ID): 17.167 ft [1]Shroud plate thickness:

2.5 inches [3]Shroud ID: 159.75 inches [4]Shroud thickness:

1.75 inches [4]Design AP across shroud support plate for Levels A through D 100 psi [1]Per Reference 1, the vertical earthquake acceleration is 0.06g.The vessel internal component loads and water loads are obtained from Reference 13 and summarized in Table 1.The input used to calculate the pressure differential across the shroud support plate for different operating conditions are obtained from Reference 7 and summarized in Table 2. The maximum AP for Level A/B is 29.03 psid for the EPU conditions

[7]. For Level C/D, the maximum AP is 47 psid from the 113% OLTP. Since it is not clear if the Level C/D reactor internal pressure difference (RIPD)considers the decompression of the annulus region following a postulated recirculation line break (RLB) event (typically the Level C/D RIPD is given as the main steam line break pressure difference), a bounding methodology is used in this calculation to calculate an uplift load on the shroud support plate.Per Reference 1, the Code of Construction isSection III, 1965 with Summer 1966 Addenda [19]. The allowable stress intensity (Sn) is 23.3 ksi [1]. The material yield strength (Sy), ultimate strength (Sj)and allowable stress intensity for Alloy 600 are obtained from Reference 8 at 550 'F for conservatism and summarized in Table 3. As compared to the allowable Sm from Reference 19 stated in Reference 1, the Sm from different Code Editions remains the same.The input used to calculate the pressure differential across the support plate is summarized in Table 4.The shroud support plate material is Alloy 600 [15].The end of evaluation period (EoEP) is 24 months [1].5.0 CALCULATIONS 5.1 Pressure Difference across Shroud Support Plate 5.1.1 Top of Shroud Support Plate Pressure Calculation The pressure at the top of the shroud support plate for normal condition, Psihoud, is a required input for determination of the pressure difference across the shroud support plate for the postulated Recirculation Outlet Break case. Considering hydrostatic pressure, this may be calculated by: File No.: 1100626.301 Page 6 of 15 Revision:

1036.3 psia.The pressure in the lower head is higher than the pressure in the annulus because of the pressure added by the jet pumps. The pressure difference can be estimated from Reference 7 as the maximum differential pressure across the shroud support plate for the Level B condition, which is 29.03 psid.5.1.2 Shroud Support Plate Pressure Difference Calculation A conservative lower bound for the pressure above the support plate is the saturation pressure at the annulus temperature.

A low pressure above the support plate is conservative because it maximizes lifting force on the plate due to the pressure differential across the plate. If the pressure below the plate is held constant and the pressure above the support plate is lessened, the upward force on the support plate is increased.

In normal operation, the lowest pressure in the reactor pressure vessel is the pressure in the steam dome. The saturation pressure at the annulus temperature is slightly less than the steam dome pressure because the annulus liquid is slightly subcooled.

From Reference 7, the maximum Level A/B pressure difference across the shroud support plate is given as 29.03 psid. This pressure differential is expected to exist at the instant of the postulated RLB event.A conservative lower bound for the pressure above the support plate, following the RLB event, is the saturation pressure at the annulus temperature.

Thus the bounding total pressure difference, AP, for the Level C/D conditions is given as: AP=Pshoud

-Psat = (1036.3 + 29.03) -886.25 = 179.08 psid This pressure difference acts to lift the support plate upward.The pressure differentials across the shroud support plate are summarized in Table 4.5.2 Postulated Crack Profile From Reference 1, Welds H8 and H9 were inspected with EVT-1 from JP 20 to JP1 and JP10 to JP 11 (about 17% of the circumference), as shown in Figure 1 [4], with an additional 64 inches inspected File No.: 1100626.301 Page 7 of 15 Revision:

The regions not inspected by VT-3 are the portion of the welds close to the jet pumps, as illustrated in Figure 1 [1].Thus, the uninspected regions are considered to be evenly distributed based on the jet pumps pattern, resulting in 10 uninspected regions as illustrated in Figure 1. These regions are conservatively to be cracked through-wall.

Length of weld H8 = 21rtRi=2*1rt(159.75/2+1.75)=

2*iT(81.625) 512.865 in Length of weld H9 = 2rTRo=2*Tr(17.167*

12/2)= 2*rT(103.002)

= 647.18 in To simplify, an average length for welds H8 and H9 is used for evaluation.

Average weld length for welds H8 and H9 = (512.865+647.18)/2

=580.02 inch The inspection length inspected by VT-3 for each weld is approximately 64/2 = 32 inches.Using the average weld length, the following are obtained for each weld: Total inspected length = 0.17*580.02+32

= 130.60 inches Total uninspected length = 580.02 -130.63 inches = 449.42 inches This corresponds to 449.42/10=44.94 inches for each uninspected region.5.3 Limit Load for Shear 5.3.1 Applied Loads 5.3.1.1 Uplift Load The uplift load is due to the pressure difference across the shroud support plate. The AP uplift area (UA) is calculated as: UA = 1"(Ro 2-Ri 2)=Tr(l103.002 2-81.625 2) = 12399.15 in2 The uplift loads due to the pressure difference for Level A/B and C/D are calculated and shown in Table 5.5.3.1.2 Vertical Seismic Load In Table 1, it is shown that the total weight of the jet pumps is 10 kips.. Also, the maximum water weight of 1080 kips from Table 1(b) is selected.

Thus the total weight due to internal structure

This is assumed to be for OBE.The total vertical seismic load for OBE and SSE is summarized in Table 6.The total upward shear force is summarized in Table 7.5.4 Crack Growth Crack growth in the depth direction is not included since the depth used in the evaluation is consistent with the depths based on BWR fleet operating experience.

In addition, due to Monticello's excellent water chemistry in the lower plenumn, subsequent crack growth will not be significant.

5.4.1 Crack growth in circumferential direction Per Reference 2, the crack growth rate is 5x1 0-5 in/hr. This is used for conservatism regardless of plant specific water chemistry.

For 10 uninspected regions, with 2 crack fronts for each region since a through-wall crack is used, the total crack growth Al for 24 months is: AI= 1O*2*5xl0 5*2*365*24

= 17.52 inches Therefore, the remaining length of un-cracked circumference at the EoEP is L =130.60 -17.52 = 113.08 inches 5.5 Evaluation Cases Two crack profiles are used to evaluate the structural margin retaining the shroud support plate weld H8 and weld H9. Each of these contains significant conservatisms, which compensate for any uncertainty in the flaw depths. It is important to note that BWR shroud cracking history, of which there is a significant amount, has shown that typically cracks in shroud welds grow to approximately two-thirds of the shroud wall and then appear to become essentially inactive.

This is particularly expected for Monticello's case because of the excellent water chemistry experienced in the vicinity of the indications on the lower side of H8 and H9. These two crack profiles are: (a) Multiple Cracks: A through-wall crack is postulated in the uninspected regions and a remaining ligament of 1/3 of the plate thickness in the inspected region is postulated since inspection was performed on the top side only. The 1/3 wall remaining ligament is based on field experience for BWR shroud welds.(b) Full Circumferential Surface Crack: A surface crack at the bottom plate surface extending along the circumferential length of Weld H8 and H9 with a crack depth at 75% of the support plate thickness is postulated.

This corresponds to a remaining ligament of 0.625 inches in the support plate.File No.: 1100626.301 Page 9 of 15 Revision:

(2). The flow stress is taken as 3 Sm per Reference 9 as used in Reference 20.The analysis results are summarized in Tables 8 and 9 for the two crack profiles described in Section 5.5. It is shown that the safety factors are 14.96 and 2.77 for Levels A/B and C/D, respectively for the multiple crack case. For the surface crack case, the safety factors are 57.58 and 10.67 for Levels A/B and CD, respectively.

These are higher than the required safety factors of 2.77 and 1.39 per Reference 2.

7.0 CONCLUSION

S AND DISCUSSIONS An analysis was performed to evaluate the capacity of the remaining length in the Welds H8 and H9 to prevent the up lift of the core shroud. It is shown that, for an EoEP of 24 months, the calculated safety factors of for Levels A/B and C/D conditions in Weld H8 and H9 are significantly above the required safety factors of 2.77 and 1.39, respectively, for both conservative flaw configurations analyzed.These results demonstrate that, even with the postulated flaws in welds H8 and H9, the structural integrity of the shroud support plate is assured.
