Alternative to ASME Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1 | |||
: 2. APPLICABLE CODE EDITION AND ADDENDA The fourth 10-year Inservice Inspection (ISI) program at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3 is based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code, Section XI, 2001 Edition through the 2003 Addenda. Additionally, for ultrasonic examinations, ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII, "Performance Demonstration for Ultrasonic Examination Systems," of the 2001 Edition is implemented, as required and modified by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv). | |||
: 3. APPLICABLE CODE REQUIREMENTS The applicable requirements are contained in Table IWB-2500-1, "Examination Category B-D, Full Penetration Welded Nozzles in Vessels - Inspection Program B." | |||
Class 1 nozzle-to-vessel weld and nozzle inner radii examination requirements are delineated in Item Number B3.90, "Nozzle-to-Vessel Welds," and B3.100, "Nozzle Inside Radius Section." The required method of examination is volumetric. All nozzles with full penetration welds to the vessel shell (or head) and integrally cast nozzles are examined each interval. | |||
All of the nozzle assemblies identified in Enclosure 1 are full penetration welds. | |||
: 4. REASON FOR REQUEST Enclosure 1 provides a complete listing of the applicable Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) nozzles for PBAPS, Units 2 and 3. | |||
The proposed alternative provides an acceptable level of quality and safety, and the reduction in scope could provide a dose savings of as much as 26 Person-Rem for | |||
Unit 2 and 27 Person-Rem for Unit 3 over the remainder of the interval. | |||

: 5. PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE AND BASIS FOR USE In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i), relief is requested from performing the required examinations on 100 percent of the nozzle assemblies identified in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 below (see Enclosure 1 for the list of RPV nozzles applicable to this relief request). As an alternative, for all welds and inner radii identified in Tables 5-1 | |||
and 5-2, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) proposes to examine a minimum of 25 percent of the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 nozzle-to-vessel welds and inner radii sections, including at least one nozzle from each system and nominal pipe size, in accordance with Code Case N-702 ("Alternative Requirements for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Nozzle Inner Radius and Nozzle-to-Shell Welds Section XI, Division 1"). For the nozzle assemblies identified in Enclosure 1, this would mean 25 percent from each of the groups identified below: | |||

2 The N6 is the only Unit 2 nozzle that has been inspected to date in the fourth ISI interval. | |||
Relief Request I4R-52 to Implement an Alternative Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld and Inner Radii Examination Requirements in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) (Page 3 of 12) | |||
Table 5-2 PBAPS, Unit 3 Summary Group 1,2 Total Number Minimum Number to be Examined Recirculation Inlet (N2) 10 3 Main Steam (N3) 4 1 Core Spray (N5) 2 1 Nozzles On Top Head (N6 ) 2 1 Jet Pump Instrument (N8) 2 1 Notes to Table 5-2: | |||
1 The nozzle-to-vessel weld and inner radius examinations are performed together. | |||
2 None of the above Unit 3 nozzles have been examined to date in the fourth ISI interval. | |||
The exams in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 will be scheduled in accordance with Table IWB-2412-1, Inspection Program B. | |||
Code Case N-702 stipulates that a VT-1 examination may be used in lieu of the volumetric examination for the inner radii (i.e., Item No. B3.100, "Nozzle Inside Radius Section"). This VT-1 examination is outlined in Code Case N-648-1 | |||
("Alternative Requirements for Inner Radius Examinations of Class 1 Reactor Vessel Nozzles Section XI, Division 1"). However, Exelon is not currently using Code Case N-648-1 at PBAPS for the identified com ponents utilizing enhanced magnification visual examination, and has no plans of using Code Case N-648-1 on those components in the future. Volumetric examinations of all selected nozzle inside radius sections will be completed. | |||
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Technical Report 1003557, "BWRVIP-108: BWR Vessel and Internals Project Technical Basis for the Reduction of Inspection Requirements for the Boiling Water Reactor Nozzle-to-Vessel Shell Welds and Nozzle Blend Radii," provides the basis for Code Case N-702. The evaluation found that failure probabilities at the nozzle blend radius region and nozzle-to-vessel shell weld due to a Low Temperature Overpressure event are very low (i.e., <1 x 10 | |||
-6 for 40 years) with or without inservice inspection. The report concludes that inspection of 25 percent of each nozzle type is technically justified. | |||
This EPRI report was approved by the NRC in a Safety Evaluation (SE) dated December 19, 2007 (i.e., ADAMS Accession No. ML073600374). Section 5.0, Relief Request I4R-52 to Implement an Alternative Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld and Inner Radii Examination Requirements in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) (Page 4 of 12) | |||
"Plant-Specific Applicability," of the SE indicates that each licensee who plans to request relief from ASME Code, Section XI requirements for RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radii sections may reference the BWRVIP-108 report as the technical basis for the use of ASME Code Case N-702 as an alternative. However, each licensee should demonstrate the plant specific applicability criteria from the BWRVIP-108 report to its units in the relief request by showing that all the general and nozzle-specific criteria addressed below are satisfied (i.e., as described in Enclosure 2 to this relief request). | |||
(1) The maximum RPV heatup/cooldown rate is limited to less than 115°F/hour. | |||
PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.4.9.1, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits," provides a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) heatup/cooldown rate of less than or equal to 100°F in any 1-hour period. The heatup/cooldown rate is also referenced in the PBAPS operating procedures. | |||
(2) For the Recirculation Inlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met: a. (pr/t)/C RPV<1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N2 Nozzle results in 1.097, which is less than 1.15. b. [p(r o 2 +r i 2)/(r o 2-r i 2)]/C NOZZLE<1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N2 Nozzle results in 0.977, which is less than 1.15. | |||
(3) For the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met: a. (pr/t)/C RPV< 1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N1 Nozzle results in 1.311, which is higher than 1.15 and does not meet the requirements. b. [p(r o 2+r i 2)/(r o 2-r i 2)]/C NOZZLE<1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N1 Nozzle results in 0.853, which is less than 1.15. | |||
Based upon the above information, all PBAPS RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell full penetration welds and nozzle inner radii sections, with the exception of the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles, meet the general and nozzle-specific criteria in BWRVIP-108. The Recirculation Outlet (N1) Nozzles are not included in this relief request, and both nozzles will be examined during the fourth ISI interval. | |||
Therefore, the use of Code Case N-702 provides an acceptable level of quality and safety in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) for all the RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell full penetration welds and nozzle inner radii sections, with the exception of the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles. | |||
In the response to a request for additional information for Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2 (letter from D. P. Helker (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Response to Request for Additional Information - Submittal of Relief Request I3R-14 Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld Relief Request I4R-52 to Implement an Alternative Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld and Inner Radii Examination Requirements in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) (Page 5 of 12) and Inner Radii Examinations," dated July 27, 2010) the NRC had requested a synopsis of the inspections that have been performed on the components for which the alternative was requested and the indications that were found and how these indications were dispositioned. This information for PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 is included in Enclosure 3 to this relief request. As also provided in this response for LGS, Units 1 and 2, the NRC requested that LGS, Units 1 and 2 confirm that the single set of values (e.g., nozzle radii, nozzle thicknesses, etc.) used in the BWRVIP-108 computation are correct and applicable to both LGS, Units 1 and 2. In the case of PBAPS, Units 2 and 3, the single set of values (e.g., nozzle radii, nozzle thicknesses, etc.) in Enclosure 2 ("Plant Specific Applicability") are correct and applicable to PBAPS, Units 2 and 3. These values are minimum design values. | |||
: 6. DURATION OF PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE The fourth interval for PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 began on November 5, 2008 and will conclude November 4, 2018. The proposed alternative will be used for the remainder of the fourth 10-year interval of the PBAPS ISI program. | |||

- 1. ASME CODE COMPONENTS AFFECTED Code Class: 1
Component Numbers: Reactor Vessel Nozzles: N2, N3, N5, N6, N8 (See Enclosure 1 for complete list of nozzle identifications)
Examination Category: B-D (Inspection Program B)
Item Number: B3.90 and B3.100
==
Description:==
Alternative to ASME Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1
- 2. APPLICABLE CODE EDITION AND ADDENDA The fourth 10-year Inservice Inspection (ISI) program at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3 is based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code,Section XI, 2001 Edition through the 2003 Addenda. Additionally, for ultrasonic examinations, ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII, "Performance Demonstration for Ultrasonic Examination Systems," of the 2001 Edition is implemented, as required and modified by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv).
- 3. APPLICABLE CODE REQUIREMENTS The applicable requirements are contained in Table IWB-2500-1, "Examination Category B-D, Full Penetration Welded Nozzles in Vessels - Inspection Program B."
Class 1 nozzle-to-vessel weld and nozzle inner radii examination requirements are delineated in Item Number B3.90, "Nozzle-to-Vessel Welds," and B3.100, "Nozzle Inside Radius Section." The required method of examination is volumetric. All nozzles with full penetration welds to the vessel shell (or head) and integrally cast nozzles are examined each interval.
All of the nozzle assemblies identified in Enclosure 1 are full penetration welds.
- 4. REASON FOR REQUEST Enclosure 1 provides a complete listing of the applicable Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) nozzles for PBAPS, Units 2 and 3.
The proposed alternative provides an acceptable level of quality and safety, and the reduction in scope could provide a dose savings of as much as 26 Person-Rem for
Unit 2 and 27 Person-Rem for Unit 3 over the remainder of the interval.
Relief Request I4R-52 to Implement an Alternative Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld and Inner Radii Examination Requirements in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) (Page 2 of 12)
- 5. PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE AND BASIS FOR USE In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i), relief is requested from performing the required examinations on 100 percent of the nozzle assemblies identified in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 below (see Enclosure 1 for the list of RPV nozzles applicable to this relief request). As an alternative, for all welds and inner radii identified in Tables 5-1
and 5-2, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) proposes to examine a minimum of 25 percent of the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 nozzle-to-vessel welds and inner radii sections, including at least one nozzle from each system and nominal pipe size, in accordance with Code Case N-702 ("Alternative Requirements for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Nozzle Inner Radius and Nozzle-to-Shell WeldsSection XI, Division 1"). For the nozzle assemblies identified in Enclosure 1, this would mean 25 percent from each of the groups identified below:
Table 5-1 PBAPS, Unit 2 Summary Group 1,2 Total Number Minimum Number to be Examined Recirculation Inlet (N2) 10 3 Main Steam (N3) 4 1 Core Spray (N5) 2 1 Nozzles On Top Head (N6) 2 1 Jet Pump Instrument (N8) 2 1 Notes to Table 5-1:
1 The nozzle-to-vessel weld and inner radius examinations are performed together.
2 The N6 is the only Unit 2 nozzle that has been inspected to date in the fourth ISI interval.
Relief Request I4R-52 to Implement an Alternative Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld and Inner Radii Examination Requirements in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) (Page 3 of 12)
Table 5-2 PBAPS, Unit 3 Summary Group 1,2 Total Number Minimum Number to be Examined Recirculation Inlet (N2) 10 3 Main Steam (N3) 4 1 Core Spray (N5) 2 1 Nozzles On Top Head (N6 ) 2 1 Jet Pump Instrument (N8) 2 1 Notes to Table 5-2:
1 The nozzle-to-vessel weld and inner radius examinations are performed together.
2 None of the above Unit 3 nozzles have been examined to date in the fourth ISI interval.
The exams in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 will be scheduled in accordance with Table IWB-2412-1, Inspection Program B.
Code Case N-702 stipulates that a VT-1 examination may be used in lieu of the volumetric examination for the inner radii (i.e., Item No. B3.100, "Nozzle Inside Radius Section"). This VT-1 examination is outlined in Code Case N-648-1
("Alternative Requirements for Inner Radius Examinations of Class 1 Reactor Vessel NozzlesSection XI, Division 1"). However, Exelon is not currently using Code Case N-648-1 at PBAPS for the identified com ponents utilizing enhanced magnification visual examination, and has no plans of using Code Case N-648-1 on those components in the future. Volumetric examinations of all selected nozzle inside radius sections will be completed.
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Technical Report 1003557, "BWRVIP-108: BWR Vessel and Internals Project Technical Basis for the Reduction of Inspection Requirements for the Boiling Water Reactor Nozzle-to-Vessel Shell Welds and Nozzle Blend Radii," provides the basis for Code Case N-702. The evaluation found that failure probabilities at the nozzle blend radius region and nozzle-to-vessel shell weld due to a Low Temperature Overpressure event are very low (i.e., <1 x 10
-6 for 40 years) with or without inservice inspection. The report concludes that inspection of 25 percent of each nozzle type is technically justified.
This EPRI report was approved by the NRC in a Safety Evaluation (SE) dated December 19, 2007 (i.e., ADAMS Accession No. ML073600374). Section 5.0, Relief Request I4R-52 to Implement an Alternative Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld and Inner Radii Examination Requirements in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) (Page 4 of 12)
"Plant-Specific Applicability," of the SE indicates that each licensee who plans to request relief from ASME Code,Section XI requirements for RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radii sections may reference the BWRVIP-108 report as the technical basis for the use of ASME Code Case N-702 as an alternative. However, each licensee should demonstrate the plant specific applicability criteria from the BWRVIP-108 report to its units in the relief request by showing that all the general and nozzle-specific criteria addressed below are satisfied (i.e., as described in Enclosure 2 to this relief request).
(1) The maximum RPV heatup/cooldown rate is limited to less than 115°F/hour.
PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.4.9.1, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits," provides a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) heatup/cooldown rate of less than or equal to 100°F in any 1-hour period. The heatup/cooldown rate is also referenced in the PBAPS operating procedures.
(2) For the Recirculation Inlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met: a. (pr/t)/C RPV<1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N2 Nozzle results in 1.097, which is less than 1.15. b. [p(r o 2 +r i 2)/(r o 2-r i 2)]/C NOZZLE<1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N2 Nozzle results in 0.977, which is less than 1.15.
(3) For the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met: a. (pr/t)/C RPV< 1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N1 Nozzle results in 1.311, which is higher than 1.15 and does not meet the requirements. b. [p(r o 2+r i 2)/(r o 2-r i 2)]/C NOZZLE<1.15; the calculation for the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 N1 Nozzle results in 0.853, which is less than 1.15.
Based upon the above information, all PBAPS RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell full penetration welds and nozzle inner radii sections, with the exception of the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles, meet the general and nozzle-specific criteria in BWRVIP-108. The Recirculation Outlet (N1) Nozzles are not included in this relief request, and both nozzles will be examined during the fourth ISI interval.
Therefore, the use of Code Case N-702 provides an acceptable level of quality and safety in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) for all the RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell full penetration welds and nozzle inner radii sections, with the exception of the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles.
In the response to a request for additional information for Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2 (letter from D. P. Helker (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Response to Request for Additional Information - Submittal of Relief Request I3R-14 Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld Relief Request I4R-52 to Implement an Alternative Concerning Nozzle-to-Vessel Weld and Inner Radii Examination Requirements in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) (Page 5 of 12) and Inner Radii Examinations," dated July 27, 2010) the NRC had requested a synopsis of the inspections that have been performed on the components for which the alternative was requested and the indications that were found and how these indications were dispositioned. This information for PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 is included in Enclosure 3 to this relief request. As also provided in this response for LGS, Units 1 and 2, the NRC requested that LGS, Units 1 and 2 confirm that the single set of values (e.g., nozzle radii, nozzle thicknesses, etc.) used in the BWRVIP-108 computation are correct and applicable to both LGS, Units 1 and 2. In the case of PBAPS, Units 2 and 3, the single set of values (e.g., nozzle radii, nozzle thicknesses, etc.) in Enclosure 2 ("Plant Specific Applicability") are correct and applicable to PBAPS, Units 2 and 3. These values are minimum design values.
- 6. DURATION OF PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE The fourth interval for PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 began on November 5, 2008 and will conclude November 4, 2018. The proposed alternative will be used for the remainder of the fourth 10-year interval of the PBAPS ISI program.
