SUMMARY

2: cj."4'4)-3 This report addresses reactor vessel feedwater nozzle.inspections for WNP-2 performed during the fourth refueling outage (April 1989).This report is required by NUREG-0619, Section 4.4.3.Ultrasonic Examination of one reactor feedwater nozzle was performed during the refueling outage.No recordable.

indications were found.The plant experienced.

10 startup/shutdown cycles during this inspection period.The low-flow control valves RFW-FCV-10A and RFW-FCV-10B, installed during RF87A (Spring 1987), cont'inued to perform well.These valves replaced the RFW-FCV-10 valve to minimize thermal cycling of the RFW nozzles caused by the on/off mode in which the-10 valve controlled RFW level during low-flow/startup conditions.

The Supply System plans to continue its augmented feedwater nozzle inspection at the next refueling outage as committed in the WNP-2 Program Plan.NDE EXAMINATION

,~))t I tj)~4)r4:t I4 V\N'rt rI~I During WNP-2 refueling outage RF89A, the Supply System performed ultrasonic examination of one reactor feedwater nozzle safe-end, bore and inner radius from the vessel OD.This.examination satisfies-part of WNP-2's commitment described in FSAR Section 5.2.4.10 and Inservice Inspection Program.Plan Section 5.3.2 to ultrasonically examine one.feedwater nozzle from the OD each refueling outage for the first six refueling outages.The Supply System has developed an angle'eam shear wave technique that is unique to the WNP-2 feedwater nozzle design.The procedure was qualified on the WNP-2 feedwater mock-up, which is a feedwater nozzle from the scrapped Douglas Point Unit 1 reactor vessel.The inner radius, Zone 1, of the nozzle is scanned using a 72 degree angle transducer.

The inner radius, Zone 2, and bore region, Zone 3, are scanned using a 25 degree angle transducer.

The UT pro-cedures used for examination, QCI 6-4 and QCI 6-13, are contained in Appendix I.Any changes to procedures that affect UT scanning techniques are verified on the feedwater nozzle mock-up.4 Calibration data for reactor feedwater nozzle inner radius examinations have been predetermined using the WNP-2 feedwater nozzle mock-up.This allows the examiner to use the reactor vessel calibration block representing the shell course containing the feedwater nozzle for calibration.

'The transfer data is contained in Table I of procedure QCI 6-4.Indications that exceed 25%full sc een height(FSH) are recorded and indications that.exceed 50%FSH are evaluated.

The instrument gain con-trols shall then be adjusted so that the 3/4 T-hole signal amplitude is brought to 50/.FSH.This basic sensitivity level shall then be adjusted for each zone according to Table 1's"Transfer Sensitivity dB Gain Increase." After adjusting to the transfer sensitivity gain increase, the gain setting shall now be the primary reference level of 1X.Examination scanning shall be at 2X (+6 dB)above the pri-mary'reference level.~N T: As sho~n in Table 1, 2one 1 requires no additional gain ad-'justment atter the 3/4 T-hole is maximized at 50K FSH to achieve the Page 5 of 21 r

A peaked shear wave signal from the 3/4 T hole should appear at approximately 5o7 inches metal path when the transducer is approximately 2-3/8 inches surface distance from a line normal to the hole centerline.

The refracted longitudinal wave should produce a peaked signal at approx-imately 4-3/4 inch metal path at a surface distance of 6-1/2 inches.A Level II or III UT examiner shall view the CRT display during the examination.

A record of each nozzle inner radius examination shall be made on examination data sheets (Figure 8), which shall be num-bered in sequence with calibration data sheets.Scanning shall be performed at 2X above the primary gain level (1X).Heasurement and recording of ultrasonic indications shall be done at the 1X level.~n-1 The inner radius Zone 1 shall be scanned in two directions (CH and CCH)from the vesse'1 plate as shown in Figure 9.Scanning shall be done in a circumferential or radial motion with a minimum overlap of 0.5 inches.The moveable pointer on the transducer wedge shall be positioned in the groove marked"CCH" for scanning counter clockwise and"CH" for scanning clockwise.

Hhile scanning, the pointer shall be aimed at the nozzle bore to the extent practical with the trans-ducer oscillated slightly.The examiner shall reference Figure 9 for transducer orientation.

gt os'3'id't ti c The scan boundaries extend from the end of the blend radius to a distance of 9 inches out on the shell wall.The operator shall occasionally rotate the wedge toward the bore axis to obtain a direct reflection signal from the inner radius as a check to confirm penetration.

~tne-The inner surface of the nozzle shall be scanned from the exterior surface of the nozzle using the appropriate search units in two directions:

'clockwise (Cll)and counterclockwise (CCll)(Figure 11).A circumferential scannina pattern spaced at intervals not exceeding 0.25 in'.(3/4 in.overlap)shall be followed around the nozzle body to obtain full coveraae of the inner surface Zone 2..Page 6 of 21 1

~An le Beam-Single or dual element ceramic type trans-ducers having an area from 0.049 to 1.0 square inch shall be used.The initial examination will normally be con-ducted using 2.25 MHz shear wave transducers with a beam angle of 43 to 47 degrees.Other angles and wave modes may be used for evaluation or indications and where wall thickness or geometric configuration impedes effective use of the 45 degree angle.The tolerance for other angles shall be+3 degrees.Transducers of other frequencies and wave modes may also be used for evaluation of indications or where metallurgical characteristics prevent effective use of 2.25 MHz shear wave transducers.
