PINGP, Unit 2, has two Westinghouse Model 51 SGs .. Each SG contains 3388 mill-annealed Alloy 600 tubes. Each tube has a nominal outside diameter of 0.875 inches and a nominal wall thickness of 0.050 inches. The tubes were roll-expanded into the tubesheet at both ends for approximately 2.75 inches, i.e., they are expanded for only a fraction of the tubesheet thickness and are considered partial depth hard-rolled tubes. The tubes are supported by a number of . | |||
carbon steel tube support plates. The original anti-vibration bars were removed and replaced. | |||
The row one and two tubes were subjected to an in-situ thermal stress relief in May 2000. Many tubes have been roll-expanded into the tubesheet above the original factory roll expansion to permit flaws below these re-rolled locations to remain in service. | |||
In addition to the depth-based tube repair criteria, the licensee is also authorized to apply the voltage-based tube repair criteria for predominantly axially-oriented outside diameter stress corrosion cracking (OOSCC) at the tube support plate elevations. Although authorized to implement the voltage-based repair criteria, the licensee has not found it necessary to implement these criteria since few, if any, indications subject to this repair criteria have been identified at Unit 2. In addition, the licensee is authorized to leave flaws within the tubesheet region in service, provided they satisfy the F*/EF* repair criterion. The major cause of degradation within the tubesheet region is primary water stress corrosion cracking at the roll transition zones. Secondary side intergranular attack and OOSCC have also been observed at this location. | |||
The licensee provided the scope, extent, methods, and results of their SG tube inspections in the documents referenced above. In addition, the licensee described corrective actions, such as tube plugging, taken in response to the inspection findings. | |||
The 2012 inspections were the last scheduled inspections for these SGs, which are scheduled to be replaced in the faU of 2013. | |||
