The reason for the concern with EDM cutting the pressurizer shell is that the EDM process has not been interpreted to be usable on low alloy carbon steels without post-removal surface smoothing by mechanical methods and, due to PCS foreign material exclusion concerns, that mechanical methods are not a prudent choice of method for this application. To design a ligament size, ABB/CE determined the maximum nozzle wall thickness   EA-SC-93-087-04 that would meet ASME Code re~uirements. The dimension calculated was a maximum of 0.110 inches. To ensure that the nozzle would break at the cut notch in the unlikely event of an excessive transient loading and not somewhere else, the desired ligament size was chosen as 0.055 inches. This ligament size, taken along with the cutting accuracy of approximately +/- 0.002 inches, the concentricity accuracy of the EDM wand versus the nozzle I.D. being approximately+/- 0.005 inches (based of I.D. of nozzle, constriction at the modification weld, and O.D. of   Assumption 3.2.b EDM wand), and nozzle I.D. and O.D as measured in the       Assumption 3.2.c field, ensures that a sufficient amount of nozzle.will be removed to control stress levels while still ensuring that the O.D. of nozzle will not be penetrated.

The nozzle is then welded, via the "J" weld to the pressurizer shell and the interior cladding of the pressurizer to provide the pressure boundary to atmosphere. The proposed modification will retain the original "J" weld inside the pressurizer but will not rely on it to prevent the nozzle (and thus thermowell and TE} from being ejected from the pressurizer. For TE-0101, since the nozzle is intentionally being partially severed outside of the                         le "J" weld, the modification will assume both the design functions of pressure boundary and structural support. For TE-0102, even though the nozzle will remain intact, the "J" weld will not be relied on for any structural support. The modification will replace the pressure boundary and structural support aspects of the "J" weld with the "pad" on the exterior of the pressurizer. The modification, thus, moves the structural support point and the pressure boundary from the interior surface to the exterior surface of the pressurizer.

provide a pressure boundary from the pressurizer to the containment atmosphere and (2} provide structural support to the thermowells and temperature elements.
The Temperature Elements (TEs} provide the plant operators with indication of the steam and water temperatures within the pressurizer to help control operation of the plant. The TEs, however, are not Q-Ref erence/Conment L isted and do not provide any input into automated systems; they are just for indication. The nozzles for the TEs are provided to create the proper geometry and structural support for the mounting of the TEs to the pressurizer.
The TEs actually mount inside a thermowell that provides the pressure boundary from the pressurizer to the TE.
The thermowell is then welded to the safe end of the nozzle (the nozzle is welded I~
to the safe end during nozzle fabrication, prior to installing the nozzle in the pressurizer shell}. The nozzle is then welded, via the "J" weld to the pressurizer shell and the interior cladding of the pressurizer to provide the pressure boundary to atmosphere.
The proposed modification will retain the original "J" weld inside the pressurizer but will not rely on it to prevent the nozzle (and thus thermowell and TE} from being ejected from the pressurizer.
For TE-0101, since the nozzle is intentionally being partially severed outside of the le "J" weld, the modification will assume both the design functions of pressure boundary and structural support.
For TE-0102, even though the nozzle will remain intact, the "J" weld will not be relied on for any structural support.
The modification will replace the pressure boundary and structural support aspects of the "J" weld with the "pad" on the exterior of the pressurizer.
The modification, thus, moves the structural support point and the pressure boundary from the interior surface to the exterior surface of the pressurizer.
Therefore the original design basis functions of the temperature nozzles are m~intained.

The EDM process is being used due to the fact that it produces only a residue that may be allowed to enter the PCS, thus simplifying the cutting operation by not requiring that the cutting be prevented from entering the PCS.

The inspection utilized the rotating 3-coil eddy current probe to aid in distinguishing an axial or circumferential orientated indication.
The results of the examination indicated four axial crack indications emanating from the inside of the pressurizer with a length of approximately one half inch. The examination was performed utilizing a calibration standard with axial and circumferential indications of various sizes located on the ID of the standard.
The results of the examination indicated four axial crack indications emanating from the inside of the pressurizer with a length of approximately one half inch.
The examination was performed utilizing a calibration standard with axial and circumferential indications of various sizes located on the ID of the standard.
To indicate the approximate size of the crack indications, a voltage setting of five volts was established on the 0.018" deep 1.0. axial notch in the calibration standard.
To indicate the approximate size of the crack indications, a voltage setting of five volts was established on the 0.018" deep 1.0. axial notch in the calibration standard.
The size of the largest axial indication in the nozzle was approximately nineteen volts.

Admittedly, the data are limitedl but the results indicate there will be only minor eorrosion over the next fuel -cycle at the repaired nozzle locations. These data have been previously used to assess corrosion at Arkansas-2, Palo Verde-1, etc. using a s1m1lar approach as described in tha report.

EA-SC-93-087-01 Attachment 4 Page 3 of 6 The cladding defects wee mechanically produced after a surveillance capsule became 1oose and dumped mechanical test specimens and other debris into the lower head of the reactor vessel. The lower head base metal was A302B steel which had been clad with Type 304 stainless steel plate using an intermittent spot welding technique. This fabrication process resulted in large areas of the cladding-base metal interface being unbonded. Thus, the breach in the cladding exposed large areas of the underlying base metal to the reactor coolant.

This fabrication process resulted in large areas of the cladding-base metal interface being unbonded. Thus, the breach in the cladding exposed large areas of the underlying base metal to the reactor coolant.
Because of concern about corrosion and hydrogen embr1tt1 ement, the reactor vendor initiated a test program to determine corrosion rates for A302B steel under operating and shutdown conditions and ta determine if hydrogen absorption was a concern. In this program, specimens of A302B were exposed to aerated and derated solutions of boric acid (2000-2500 ppm B) at temperatures ranging from 70'F to soo*F. The specimens included both electrically insulated coupons of A302B and coupons electrically grounded to Type 304 stainless steel to assess galvanic effects. Most of the testing was at low temperatures (70' to 140.F} in 2500 ppm B aerated and derated solutions for up to 121 days. For these conditions, the test progra11 we 11 charactari z1d the corros 1on rates of A302B. The reactor vendor also conducted a few short term {6-14 days) tests at 300-SOo*F in derated solutions containin9 2000 PP" B.

The results of tha study showed that hydrogen absorption was not a concern and that the exposed A3028 steel would corrode uniformly at a rate of about 3 mpy (mils per year) which was sufficiently low to be of no concern over the re11a1n1ng 25 year 11f1t1me of the plant.

The Nuclear Power Industry has begun to see a significant number of occurrences of Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) of Inconel 600 in NSSS penetration applications. Palisades has 241 Inconel 600 Primary Coolant System penetrations. The new steam generator tubing is Inconel 600. The development of PWSCC in a Primary system boundary can significantly impact plant availability and be expensive to repair. Calvert Cliffs required over one year to repair the first pressurizer heater sleeve cracks.

CE has estimated the minimum stress to initiate a PWSCC crack at 40 ksi. Higher residual stress levels will shorten the time to initiate a crack. Higher service temperatures and high material yield strength will shorten the time to initiate a PWSCC crack. It is unclear exactly what the minimum temperature is below which no cracks will occur. CE estimates that material with a yield strength greater than so ksi is unfavorable; ie more likely to crack. This general guidance helps provide the basis for identifying penetrations with the highest susceptibility to PWSCC. This does not mean PWSCC will never occur in relatively low probability Page 4

Temperature is a key factor in the development of PWSCC. The rate of PWSCC will double for every 18F increase in temperature. It is therefore reasonable to expect most of the initial problems to occur in the pressurizer. The installation processes used throughout the PCS are relatively similar; as such the residual stresses should be similar. The relationship between temperature and PWSCC rates is very helpful in developing an assessment of areas most at risk. It is clear that most initial failures will occur in pressurizer penetrations. As such, it is reasonable to focus most inspection efforts in this area. It is important to note that ongoing inspection programs at other commercial nuclear power plants provide a much larger data base to make conclusions from, and to continuously evaluate previous assumptions. It will be worthwhile to use this information to periodically re-evaluate Palisades respo~se to this issue.

One of the key points in determining that the PWSCC of Inconel 600 penetrations is not a safety issue is the axial orientation of the cracks. Circumferential cracking can cause a catastrophic failure of the pressure boundary, potentially ejecting a nozzle or sleeve. The residual stresses that are present in the heat affected zone of the welds result in a hoop stress that may cause axial cracking, not circumferential cracking.

The residual stresses that are present in the heat affected zone of the welds result in a hoop stress that may cause axial cracking, not circumferential cracking.
Some work done under CEOG Task. 636 directly supports this conclusion. The residual stresses created near the heat affected zone are directly dependent on the inconel 600 material properties. Pre-reaming results in hi9h hardness/high yield strength at the ID of the sleeve/nozzle.

Welding then creates residual stresses that are limited by the material properties at the surface. The residual stresses govern material susceptibility. High strength non-reamed material is of slightly less concern, but residual stress is still governed by material properties. Low strength material is also under tensile stress due to welding, but susceptibility is lower because residual stresses cannot exceed the yield stren9th of the material.

Additional work determined most of the sleeve/nozzle area is actually under compressive stress. Tensile stress is required to develop PWSCC. Lower stress levels are required to propagate a crack than to initiate one, so developing a high enough tensile stress on the ID of the sleeve/nozzle is critical in initiating a crack.

It is also worth noting that pressurizer heater sleeve failures have occurred due to the failure of pressurizer heaters. Both Arkansas Nuclear Unit 2 and San Onofre have experienced heater sleeve failures caused by the swelling of a failed pressurizer heater. The failed heater can be extremely difficult to remove. As time goes on the heater swells and places enough pressure on the heater sleeve to cause cracking. The prompt replacement of a failed pressurizer heater can prevent this problem.

The susceptibility of cold worked Inconel 600 is reasonably well known. Significant research has been done due to the widespread use of cold worked Inconel 600 in Steam Generator tubing. Combustion Engineering completed CEN-393-1 titled "Evaluation of Pressurizer Heater Sleeve Susceptibility to Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking".

Palisades pressurizer heater sleeves were categorized in the low susceptibility range for PWSCC. This determination was made based on the low yield strength of the material, absence of pre-installation reaming of the sleeve, and the absence of rework on the heater sleeves. Plants having inconel 600 with a yield strength above 50 ksi, or those having pre-installation reaming done were categorized as moderate risk units. Plants having both a hiqh yield strength material and pre-installation reaming have been categorized as high susceptibility. The susceptibility ratings are relative measures of probability, not absolute measures that PWSCC will or will not occur. Two units were identified as high susceptibility, six units as moderate susceptibility, and seven units as low susceptibility. Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 was a high suaceptibility plant.

The plants with unfavorable pressurizer heater sleeve material should provide a valid indication of concern prior to pressurizer heater sleeves cracking at Palisades. Due to the statistical nature of PWSCC, and the minor differences that may occur in installing individual sleeves, we should not be surprised if a few failures occur in lower susceptibility tubing. As such, we should be prepared to respond to a small number of pressurizer heater sleeve failures.

No evidence of chemical contamination was found. This supports the cracking being PWSCC. Hot worked Inconel 600 produces more variations in yield strength, grain size, and carbide precipitation. This makes evaluating characteristics that promote PWSCC much more difficult. Previous work done on steam generator tubing does not accurately predict the susceptibility of hot forged nozzles.

The BG&E nozzle cracks were-initiated on the internal diameter (ID). The crack growth rate was very slow. This indicates a high tensile stress existed on the nozzle ID, and was initially relieved by cracking. crack growth slowed because operating stresses are much lower than presumed residual stresses. Higher stress is necessary to initiate crack growth than to propagate growth.

This work was done as CEOG Task 637. The corrosion rate was estimated for one full operating cycle, and the pressure boundary integrity was not affected. It is important to note that if a leak remains active and undetected long enough, significant erosion/corrosion of the base metal may occur.

7.0 REPAIR OPTIONS Cracked pressurizer heater sleeves and nozzles have been replaced at a number of plants. Both Combustion Engineering and Babcock and Wilcox have qualified repair techniques, procedures, and equipment available for pressurizer heater sleeves. The Combustion Engineering technique can be used on a single heater sleeve. Combustion Engineering has qualified techniques, equipment, and procedures available for most PCS nozzle locations. The Inconel 600 Working Group is looking at future activities to assure materials and equipment are available for all likely repairs. A single cracked PCS penetration would probably take three to four weeks to repair. Repairing multiple failures would take lonqer.

Discussion: The safe end should be considered medium risk to develop PWSCC. It has been exposed to a hiqh service temperature and has bee'n welded on both ends. The nozzle material is slightly above the 50 ksi guideline for high risk applications. This particular nozzle is at the bottom of the liquid space. This should be the lowest temperature location in the pressurizer. PWSCC that has occurred to date has been in the pressurizer steam space. The thickness and geometry of the safe end will have unknown effects on the susceptibility of ,the nozzle. The tact a repair would involve two external, welds would be helpful if a repair is required.

Discussion: The safe end nozzle should be considered moderate risk to develop PWSCC. It is welded on both ends. Due to the steady stream of pressurizer spray liquid, the service temperature would be closer to the cold leg temperature than to the pressurizer temperature. This greatly reduces the risk of developing PWSCC at this location. The nozzle material is well above the 50 ksi guideline for high risk applications. PWSCC that has occurred to date has been in the pressurizer steam space. The thickness and geometry of the safe end will have unknown effects on the susceptibility of the nozzle. The tact a repair on the safe end would involve only external welds, and that it is located on top of the pressurizer would be helpful if a repair is required. The susceptibility of the ring is unknown at this time.

Discussion: These nozzles should be considered medium risk to develop PWSCC. They are exposed to a high service temperature and have been welded on one end. The nozzle material is below the so ksi guideline for high risk applications. PWSCC that has occurred to date has been in the pressurizer steam space. The internal J weld geometry makes repairs more difficult than on other Palisades nozzles.

No evidence of chemical contamination was found. This supports the cracking being PWSCC. Hot worked Inconel 600 produces more variations in- yield strength, grain size, and carbide precipitation. This makes evaluating characteristics that promote PWSCC much more difficult. Previous work done on steam generator tubes (cold worked) probably will not accurately predict the susceptibility of hot forged nozzles.

S. This work directly supports the earlier conclusions with some engineering basis. The residual stresses caused near the Heat Affected Zone by welding are directly dependent on the material properties. Pre-r1amin1 results in high hardne11/hi1h yield 1trength at the ID of the 1leev1. Weldin1 then creates residual 1tr11111 that are limited by the material* properties at the surface. The re1idual stresses 1overn PWSCC 1u1c1ptibility. High strength non-reamed material is 1lightly le11 concern, but residual stress is still governed- by material properties. Low strength material is tensilly stressed due to welding, but susceptibility is lower because residual 1tr11111 are 1overn1d by material properties. The present CE number for susceptibility is 40 ksi residual stress.

Corrosion testing to determine the m1n1mum residual stress necessary to produce PWSCC was completed in May of 1991. C-ring specimens were stressed to different stress levels to determine the affects on PWSCC initiation. The maximum induced stress was 80 ksi. Testing did not produce PWSCC initiated cracks.
C-ring specimens were stressed to different stress levels to determine the affects on PWSCC initiation.
This may be due to the yielding of the C-ring specimen, resulting in a lower stress being present. The test results do indicate that the welding process induces a tensile stress greater than 80 ksi.
The maximum induced stress was 80 ksi.
An analysis of a sleeve that failed at AN0-2 in 1987 determined that: that failure wa1 also due to PWSCC. Several heaters failed and 1welled. The heacer induced a large tensile stress on the heater sleeve which resulted in a PWSCC leak developing in che pressurizer heater sleeve.
Testing did not produce PWSCC initiated cracks.
BUDGET Total:               $256,000

: l. Construct a mock-up of a pressurizer hea~er sleeve.
DISCUSS ION Existing corrosion data is very conservative. The corrosion that actually occurred at BC&E was minor. Meuuring corrosion under actual leakage conditions will accurately represent what we would expect in the plant. This supports the position that a PWSCC initiated leak will not jeopardize plant safety.
Measure corrosion rates of shell material associated with a PWSCC initiated leak.
The testing that was performed is conservative. The erosion/corrosion test began with a significant crack, and utilized steam generator tubing. Steam generator tubing is thinner than pressrizer heater sleeves. CE used SA-5338 base material, five inches thick, with a two to eight mil clearance between the tube and base material. Test temperature was 600F with 800 PPM boron.

However, a question was raised as to what effect this welding technique will have on pressurizer and/or nozzles. As a result I am writing this letter to inform you that, for the intended application, there will be no significant adverse effects on the pressurizer and/or nozzle resulting from the use of ABB/Combustion Engineering welding procedure specification (WPS) SMA-3.43-937 (half bead welding).
To SSOverway, Palisades From JCNordby, Palisades Da,te October 18, 1993 Subject Effects of Half Bead Welding on Base Metals cc DJVandeWalle, Palisades EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 1 of 2 CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY Internal Correspondence JCN93*029 Modifications will be made to TE-0101 and TE-0102 on the pressurizer using the half bead welding technique as an alternative to conventional postweld heat treatment (PWHT).
Essentially, the reason there will be no adverse mechanical effects on the pressurizer and/or nozzle is the fact that all of the WPSs have been qualified in accordance with ASME Section IX and the half bead welding rules of ASME Section XI. Because there is no way of nondestructively evaluating the mechanical properties of a production weld, WPS qualification test coupons are prepared and destructively tested to establish ranges of variables which will produce sound welds. This qualification has been done for SMA-3.43-937 .
However, a question was raised as to what effect this welding technique will have on pressurizer and/or nozzles.
No significant adverse metallurgical effects on the pressurizer and/or nozzle are assured basically through control of preheat, interpass and PWHT temperatures. From the standpoint of the pressurizer base metal, the qualification tests described above assure a sound microstructure. The inconel nozzle is a different case.

Inconel is a nickel alloy. Corrosion resistance is one of its more important properties. Outside of the heat affected zone (HAZ) from welding, the inconel nozzle will only see temperatures well under its maximum design temperature and therefore no adverse effects will occur. The area of concern is the HAZ.
Essentially, the reason there will be no adverse mechanical effects on the pressurizer and/or nozzle is the fact that all of the WPSs have been qualified in accordance with ASME Section IX and the half bead welding rules of ASME Section XI.
The corrosion resistance of the heat affected zone (HAZ) is not verified by the mechanical tests required by WPS qualification. Although far less vulnerable to the effects of temperature on corrosion resistance than austenitic stainless steel, the amount of carbide precipitation resulting from welding temperatures is limited by the 450&deg;F interpass temperature. In addition, the 500&deg;F +/-50&deg;F PWHT temperature is far below that required for carbide precipitation (in fact, it is lower than operating temperatures).
Because there is no way of nondestructively evaluating the mechanical properties of a production weld, WPS qualification test coupons are prepared and destructively tested to establish ranges of variables which will produce sound welds.
The inconel weld metal itself is of least concern. Aside from the qualification tests described above and the inherent as-welded toughness of nickel alloys, the carbon in this weld metal is stabilized. Because of additions of columbium and tantalum, this material will not experience additional carbide precipitation resulting in possible lowering of corrosion resistance, either from the heat of subsequent beads or PWHT.
This qualification has been done for SMA-3.43-937.
In conclusion, it should be noted that this modification has been performed at other plants with success. While welding will always have an effect on base metal properties, the question is not simply will the effect be detrimental, but will the effect be detrimental for the intended application. For this

The modifications are being conducted in order to eliminate primary coolant system leakage through what are believed to be axial cracks in the temperature instrumentation nozzles.
The axial cracking phenomenon in these Inconel 600 sleeves, while new at Palisades, has been experienced in the nuclear power industry at many installations over the last several years. In addition, the modifications being contemplated for the instrumentation nozzles have been successfully completed at other plants. The difference between the modifications being considered at Palisades from those completed at other plants is that the Palisades modifications are being planned very shortly after circumferential cracking was discovered in the PORV line. The recent PORV line cracking experience has raised awareness of the potential for circumferential cracking in Inconel 600.
It is the purpose of the  discussion below to explain how the PORV line cracking and temperature  instrumentation line cracking are different in some very significant aspects  and why the differences can explain why circumferential cracking  in the temperature instrumentation nozzles is not expected.

REVIEW OF INSTRUMENT LINE EXPERIENCE Reference (1) summarizes relevant pressurizer instrumentation cracking experience in France. The nozzle configurations are not unlike those of current concern at Palisades. The welding is a partial penetration/fillet weld detail. The impact of the weld shrinkage is to constrict the instrument tube circumferentially. The instrumentation lines see little in terms of axial loads. Detailed NOE and other test work showed that:

CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY Interna 1 CC Correspondence RBJ93*064 INTRODUCTION Modifications are currently being prepared for two temperature instrumentation nozzles in the Palisades Plant pressu~izer. The modifications are being conducted in order to eliminate primary coolant system leakage through what are believed to be axial cracks in the temperature instrumentation nozzles.
* The J-weld construction can generate very high residual tensile hoop stresses adjacent to the weld
The axial cracking phenomenon in these Inconel 600 sleeves, while new at Palisades, has been experienced in the nuclear power industry at many installations over the last several years.
* Pre-installation reaming tends to result in higher residual stresses
In addition, the modifications being contemplated for the instrumentation nozzles have been successfully completed at other plants. The difference between the modifications being considered at Palisades from those completed at other plants is that the Palisades modifications are being planned very shortly after circumferential cracking was discovered in the PORV line. The recent PORV line cracking experience has raised awareness of the potential for circumferential cracking in Inconel 600.
* Axial stresses tend to be compressive or relatively low tensile
It is the purpose of the discussion below to explain how the PORV line cracking and temperature instrumentation line cracking are different in some very significant aspects and why the differences can explain why circumferential cracking in the temperature instrumentation nozzles is not expected.  
* Based upon service experience, laboratory studies and stress analysis, the initiation and propagation of circumferential cracks is unlikely Reference (3) reviews control rod drive and incore instrumentation nozzle cracking via detailed analysis work. Although the specific application is the reactor vessel, the conclusions apply to the pressurizer instrumentation configurations as well. Those conclusions note that hoop stresses in those systems are greater than axial stresses and that weld residual stresses are significantly higher than externally applied or other operational loads.
REVIEW OF THE PORV LINE EXPERIENCE Reference (4) and its enclosures document the PORV line/nozzle cracking. The cracking actually occurred in the Inconel 600 side of the safe end-to-pipe weld. The metallurgical work shows cracks growing radially from the pipe inner diameter and fanning lightly to the outer diameter. While there may have been some axial cracks, joint leakage was clearly a circumferential rather than an axial cracking phenomenon.
The primary difference between the PORV line phenomenon with respect to the instrumentation cracking both at Palisades and elsewhere is that the PROV line weld is a full butt weld and not a partial penetration weld, J-weld or fillet weld. All of these types of welds will provide circumferential weld shrinkage and the resultant potential for axial cracks. The instrumentation line welds, when shrinking axially, see little resistance or restraint to shrinkage from the instrumentation configuration. The instrumentation element is essentially free to be shrunk by the weld. Very near the weld, there may be some axial compressive stress as noted in Reference (2). However, this lack of axial restraint results in an essentially "plane stress" load environment .

EA-SC-93-087-01 REVIEW OF INSTRUMENT LINE EXPERIENCE Reference (1) summarizes relevant pressurizer instrumentation cracking experience in France.
For the PORV line condition, the load environment is very different. The butt weld is through-thickness. Therefore, it can shrink the pipe side (or nozzle side) very efficiently. If the pipe side was free and the nozzle side was free during weld shrinkage, it would be very difficult to produce significant axial stress in the pipe or safe end as the pipe could deflect to accommodate the weld shrinkage much as the temperature element would. However, during the field welding of the joint of concern, the nozzle end is fixed by the vessel.

If the pipe side was free and the nozzle side was free during weld shrinkage, it would be very difficult to produce significant axial stress in the pipe or safe end as the pipe could deflect to accommodate the weld shrinkage much as the temperature element would.
However, during the field welding of the joint of concern, the nozzle end is fixed by the vessel.
The pipe end, while not as rigidly confined as the nozzle end, is well supported if only to support its weight. Therefore, the load environment in the area of the field weld is more akin to "plane strain" because axial movement of the pipe/nozzle is very limited. This constrained configuration permits the development of an axial residual stress field that simply could not have been achieved in the typical temperature instrumentation element configuration.

The design of the PORV line can result in high axial residual weld stresses if the fabrication process (to include welding) does not reduce them due to heat treatment etc. The joint fitup and root configuration can make the joint vulnerable to these residual stresses.

PALISADES TEMPERATURE NOZZLE MODIFICATION The modifications to the temperature instrumentation nozzles incorporate pressurizer pad-to-sleeve welds that are essentially the same as the existing J-welds as far as their impact on residual stress fields is concerned. The new welds have the appearance of a fillet weld .. As noted, these welds are not as efficient as butt welds in inducing axial stress into the instrumentation

The new welds have the appearance of a fillet weld.. As noted, these welds are not as efficient as butt welds in inducing axial stress into the instrumentation nozzle.
For the modification where the nozzle is cut, the temperature element will be essentially free on either side of the exterior weld when the pipe is cut.
For the modification where the nozzle is cut, the temperature element will be essentially free on either side of the exterior weld when the pipe is cut.
The cut may reduce axial residual weld stresses induced by the weld shrinkage with the restraint of the element by the inside J-weld. With the cut, the above discussion applies directly with regard to the lack of a mechanism for developing residual axial stress (potentially leading to circumferential cracks).
The cut may reduce axial residual weld stresses induced by the weld shrinkage with the restraint of the element by the inside J-weld.
For the modification where the nozzle is not cut, an axial residual stress field between the new weld (outside) and the J-weld (inside) may exist due to the existing restraint during the welding process. No similar residual stress field will exist external to the new weld. Therefore, an undesirable residual stre~s loading exists between the welds while all the axial operational loads (internal pressure) will be reacted by the new weld only. While any potential axial residual tensile stress loading is undesirable, that resulting from the current modification is not of immediate concern. The reasons are as follows:
With the cut, the above discussion applies directly with regard to the lack of a mechanism for developing residual axial stress (potentially leading to circumferential cracks).
* There are essentially no externally applied mechanical loads to the nozzle
For the modification where the nozzle is not cut, an axial residual stress field between the new weld (outside) and the J-weld (inside) may exist due to the existing restraint during the welding process.

CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION Joint configuration and the fabrication process combine to limit the impact of any deleterious effects of weld residual stress in the design of the temperature instrumentation nozzle modification. These considerations along with an awareness of the time limitation of the duty cycle for the joint combine to provide assurance that a catastrophic failure due to circumferential cracking will not occur.

Reference/Conment Transients per CE Report Nos. CENC 1114 and CENC EA-SC-93-087-03 1214.

Temp. -

The mod~fication must take into account the differential temperature along the nozzle and through the pressurizer shell thickness during plant heatup and cooldown, as well as steady state conditions.

Pressurizer Design Temperature - 700°F, Pressurizer Design

  • Transients per CE Report Nos. CENC 1114 and CENC EA-SC-93-087-03 1214.F
c.

Stress -

The modification must account for the thermal expansion stresses that will be set up in the nozzle and pressurizer shell due to having dissimilar metals constrained to the same EA-SC-93-087-03 le dimension by internal and external welds fixing both points of the nozzle to the pressurizer shell. The modification must also take into account the residual stresses in the nozzles and Ref 2.6.g, Att 9 le the pressurizer base metal caused by the welded "pad". This is a concern for reoccurrence of the cracking. Also orientation of residual stresses in the nozzles is a concern from the standpoint that excessive axial stress could lead to circumferential cracking of the nozzles and thus present a potential for a smalJ Loss of Coolant Accident from the nozzle penetrations.

4.1 Background

a.

On October 9, 1993 at approximately 0900 insulators working on the upper head of the pressurizer (T-72) re-installing insulation that had been removed to allow repair to the leaking PORV line observed water leaking from the upper head around the base of the TE-0101 temperature nozzle.

(Operations department personnel were also scheduled to inspect the TE-0101 temperature nozzle prior to pressurizer insulation re-installation, but had not yet gotten to that location in their inspections.) At that time the pressurizer was filled solid with water, the PCS was cold and at 250 psia. Palisades Systems Engineering, Mechanical Maintenance, and Operations departments veri fi e_d the 1 eakage. Operat i ans commenced reducing PCS pressure.

ABB/Combustion Engineering (ABB/CE) was contracted to assist in correcting this problem, as were Systems Engineering and Nuclear Engineering and Construction Organization engineers.

Event Report, E-PAL-93-032, was initiated to correct the problem.

A Project Team was established to evaluate the leakage, identify alternative solutions, and recommend a solution to management.

On October 11, 1993 the alternative were presented to management and the option to modify the temperature nozzle design by welding a "pad" to the exterior surface of the pressurizer to re-establish the structural support and pressure boundary was chosen.

c.

On October 12, 1993 a detailed inspection of the other pressurizer temperature nozzle (for TE-0102) was completed and leakage from around that nozzle was also noted.

The modification scope was then expanded to include both pressurizer temperature nozzles.

d.

A structural analysis of the modification was performed by ABB/CE.

It determined that the upper nozzle must be severed between the new and old welds due to thermal stresses that develop during heatup and cooldown of the pressurizer. However, as the modification design continued to develop, it became apparent that complete severing of the nozzle had technical drawbacks.

ABB/CE was then directed to determine the maximum amount of nozzle that could remain and still have the nozzle meet ASME Code requirements.

ABB/CE developed a calculation showing a remaining "ligament" of the nozzle 0.0. was Ref erence/Coarnent acceptable.

The modification design was then revised to EA-SC-93-087-04 incorporate this change.

~ 1 11 4.2 Industry Experience To date, the Nuclear Power Industry has experienced leakage from similarly designed nozzles, especially in high temperature environments like the pressurizer.

In fact, a special Combustion Engineering Owner's Group (CEOG) Working Group was formed in November of 1989 to address the PWSCC of Inconel 600 that had been determined to be the cause of previous similar leaks.

The results of a comparison of this working group's d~terminations indicated that the Palisades Pressurizer Temperature Nozzles were moderately susceptible to PWSCC.

As a result inspections of the pressurizer temperature nozzles, using VT-2 methods with the insulation installed have been performed as part of the pre-startup inspections during each subsequent refueling.

The industry in the United States has, so far, experienced cracking in instrument nozzles and heater sleeves in pressurizers. These leaking penetrations have all shared a common cause for the stress that sets up the conditions to promote PWSCC - they were all attached to the inner surface of the pressurizers with partial penetration welds.

The Palisades temperature nozzles are attached with a partial penetration "J" weld.

Permanent repairs at the other U.S. plants that have experienced penetration cracking have involved replacement of the nozzles which has involved some welding from the inside of the pressurizer.

Due to time considerations in planning the most ALARA effective method of replacement, Palisades management decided to pursue a method that would allow operation of the plant for at least one fuel cycle while not being overly dose expensive to install. This approach would allow plant operation while the planning and engineering needed for the potentially high dose replacement of the nozzles occurs.

The modification chosen to allow operation for at least one fuel cycle draws on ABB/CE's experience with other short term modifications at other U.S. nuclear plants for leaking lnconel 600 nozzles.

II 1 11 4.3 Reason for Change*

The existing temperature nozzles for TE-0101 (Pressurizer Vapor Phase Temperature Element) and TE-0102 (Pressurizer Water Space Temperature Element), located on the pressurizer upper head and lower shell respectively, are currently exhibiting leakage from between the Inconel 600 nozzle and the carbon steel base material of the pressurizer at the outer surface of the pressurizer.

Eddy Current Testing has been used to Reference/Corrment characterize the cracks in the upper nozzle as axial. These Ref 2.6.i, Att 2 cracks are similar to cracks found in Inconel nozzles at other Pressurized Water Reactors.

The typical Inconel 600 cracks have been caused by PWSCC and are not considered to be a safety problem due to the fact that they occur axially rather than Ref 2.6.d, Att 6 circumferentially (this implies they are not likely to fail catastrophically without leaking for a sufficient amount of time to be detected).

The modification for these leaks, as proposed by the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) vender for Palisades, ABB/CE, is to replace the original pressure boundary weld on the interior surface of the pressurizer shell, called a "J" weld, with a new weld on the exterior surface of the shell, Ref 2.4.b Att 12 as indicated in the construction drawings.

This exterior weld Ref 2.4.c Att 13 is intended to re-establish the pressure boundary downstream of the original "J" welds and replace the structural support that may have been weakened by the cracks, thereby bypassing the faulted (cracked) portion of the nozzles.

4.4 Design Considerations

a.

The weld modification design is governed by Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code, 1983 edition with the summer 1983 addenda, The Code.

ABB/CE has provided a letter that details how the Code applies to this modification.

The letter indicates that IWB-4000 will be used by the modification.

By using IWB-4000 methods the modification avoids the difficulties encountered with welding to the pressurizer - post weld heat treatment of the entire pressurizer, since the methods specify a self-tempering weld process.

The justification for choosing the specific processes of IWB-4000 as prescribed by the Traveler is presented in a letter from Consumers Power's Welding Codes and Materials Supervisor.

  • The pro.cess is laid out in a qualified ABB/CE welding procedure.

b.

The weld modifications will take the shape of a "pad" located around each nozzle on the outer surface of the

c.

pressurizer shell.

The diameter of the pads, as Refs 2.4.b & c, specified, is designed to take into account the Att 12 & 13 replacement of the nozzles in the future by allowing a large enough area to weld on withriut having to build-up additional pad area.

At the same time it also provided a large area for the stresses on the weld pad to be spread over.

The thickness of the pad is designed as part of the stress analysis of the modification.

The pads establish EA-SC-93-087-03 the pressure boundary and structural support between the nozzles and the pressurizer shell. This modification wi.11 re-establish the leak-free condition that is the design condition for the nozzle/pressurizer shell interface.

Welding the nozzles to the pressurizer shell at both the interior surface and the exterior surface, however, sets up the potential for high stresses in the nozzle due to the different thermal expansion experienced by the Inconel 600 nozzle and the ASTM A-533, Grade B, Class 1 steel plate pressurizer. This stress, caused by having the nozzle fixed at two locations to the pressurizer shell, is evaluated in the modification stress analysis.

The conclusion of this calculation and its addendum is that the nozzle for TE-0101, located in the upper head. of the pressurizer, needs to be partially severed within the thickness of the upper head to prevent the stresses caused by differences in thermal expansion during heatup and cooldown from exceeding the ASME code allowable stresses.

The nozzle will be partially severed using the procedure laid out in a second traveler.

By partially severing the nozzle, the thermally induced loads on the welded pressure boundary is bounded by the material's collapse loads in the thinned nozzle wall.

The stress calculation addendum demonstrated that with a thinned wall thickness of 0.110 inches, the stress level in the pressure boundary will be within the Code allowables.

The stress calculation also verifies that the nozzle for TE-0102, located in the lower section of the pressurizer shell, does not need to be severed since it does not experience as large a transient loading due to being in a liquid environment.

The axial stresses developed on the lower nozzle due to accident transients are still within ASME code stress and fatigue allowables even with the nozzle constrained at the inner and outer surface of the pressurizer. The calculation also confirms that, since the modification design meets ASME code requirements for all stress and fatigue allowables, the modification will allow operation for at least one fuel cycle.

d.

The existing crack locations in both nozzles leads to another potential problem.

That problem is one of corrosion of the carbon steel pressurizer by the borated primary coolant that will come in direct contact with the steel.

Due to the exterior weld build-up, the modification will allow the known axial cracks at the TE-0101 and TE-0102 temperature nozzles to potentially place borated primary coolant in contact with the carbon steel pressurizer.

The NSSS vender indicates that, per an industry study, corrosion of low alloy steel relating to PWSCC failures in Inconel 600, the Palisades pressure Ref 2.6.b, Att 4 I*

boundary material can expect a conservative maximum corrosion rate of 3 mil/year. This corrosion rate would.

intentional exposure of carbon steel to borated primary e

coolant is not a corrosion concern can be found from industry experience with pressurizer leaks from heater sleeves and temperature and pressure nozzles and from CEOG Task 637.

Actual expected corrosion for the Palisades Ref 2.6.d, Att 6 le pressurizer base metal is probably undetectable due to the fact that the areas exposed to borated primary coolant will not experience any flow past them (and therefore no erosion effects) and thus will experience an even slower total rate of metal loss.

¥' 1 I 1 The partial sever cut will occur per the design drawing and the second traveler with the EDM procedure.

The design is based on a desire to cut enough of the nozzle material to meet the Code allowables, as ABB/CE has shown in a supplement to the original design stress calculation, while ensuring that enough "ligament" is left of the nozzle wall thickness to prevent a through-wall penetration by the EDM process to the pressurizer shell.

The reason for the concern with EDM cutting the pressurizer shell is that the EDM process has not been interpreted to be usable on low alloy carbon steels without post-removal surface smoothing by mechanical methods and, due to PCS foreign material exclusion concerns, that mechanical methods are not a prudent choice of method for this application.

To design a ligament size, ABB/CE determined the maximum nozzle wall thickness that would meet ASME Code re~uirements. The dimension calculated was a maximum of 0.110 inches.

To ensure that the nozzle would break at the cut notch in the unlikely event of an excessive transient loading and not somewhere else, the desired ligament size was chosen as 0.055 inches. This ligament size, taken along with the cutting accuracy of approximately +/- 0.002 inches, the concentricity accuracy of the EDM wand versus the nozzle I.D. being approximately+/- 0.005 inches (based of I.D. of nozzle, constriction at the modification weld, and O.D. of EDM wand), and nozzle I.D. and O.D as measured in the field, ensures that a sufficient amount of nozzle.will be removed to control stress levels while still ensuring that the O.D. of nozzle will not be penetrated. Thus with this ligament size specified, no pressurizer base metal will be affected by the EDM process and this portion of the modification will also meet ASME Code.

~ 1 11 4.5 Design Basis Function The design basis function of the pressurizer system is to control PCS pressure and volume through the use of a saturated steam bubble and stored water volume.

Pressure control is performed by the saturated steam bubble.

It controls PCS pressure reductions by expansion of the steam bubble and some of the stored water flashing to steam, thus reducing the pressure drop for a given PCS contraction.

It controls PCS pressure increases by compressing the steam bubble and condensing some of the steam into water.

(There is also a spray system to control rapid pressure increases.} The stored water volume also acts as a means of controlling the PCS water volume.

The pressurizer water level is the controlling input to the Chemical and Volume Control System for letdown and charging.

The pressurizer level

~s controlled automatically to maintain the appropriate PCS water volume.

The design basis functions of the nozzles for TE-0101 and TE-0102 are to:

(1}

provide a pressure boundary from the pressurizer to the containment atmosphere and (2} provide structural support to the thermowells and temperature elements.

The Temperature Elements (TEs} provide the plant operators with indication of the steam and water temperatures within the pressurizer to help control operation of the plant. The TEs, however, are not Q-Ref erence/Conment L isted and do not provide any input into automated systems; they are just for indication. The nozzles for the TEs are provided to create the proper geometry and structural support for the mounting of the TEs to the pressurizer.

The TEs actually mount inside a thermowell that provides the pressure boundary from the pressurizer to the TE.

The thermowell is then welded to the safe end of the nozzle (the nozzle is welded I~

to the safe end during nozzle fabrication, prior to installing the nozzle in the pressurizer shell}. The nozzle is then welded, via the "J" weld to the pressurizer shell and the interior cladding of the pressurizer to provide the pressure boundary to atmosphere.

The proposed modification will retain the original "J" weld inside the pressurizer but will not rely on it to prevent the nozzle (and thus thermowell and TE} from being ejected from the pressurizer.

For TE-0101, since the nozzle is intentionally being partially severed outside of the le "J" weld, the modification will assume both the design functions of pressure boundary and structural support.

For TE-0102, even though the nozzle will remain intact, the "J" weld will not be relied on for any structural support.

The modification will replace the pressure boundary and structural support aspects of the "J" weld with the "pad" on the exterior of the pressurizer.

The modification, thus, moves the structural support point and the pressure boundary from the interior surface to the exterior surface of the pressurizer.

Therefore the original design basis functions of the temperature nozzles are m~intained.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT ANALYSIS CONTINUATION SHEET EA-SC-93-087-01 Sheet 12 Rev #

~ 1 I 1 4.6 Impact on Affected System or Interfacing Systems

a.

The proposed modification will not have any noticeable effect on the pressurizing system, PCS, or the pressurizer temperature indicating system.

b.

Each pad's weight is less than 10 pounds which is insignificant compared to the dry weight of the pressurizer vessel which is 202,000 lb. {including heaters) and thus is not a weight concern.

c.

The method by which the pads are deposited on the exterior of the pressurizer assures that they are not a residual stress concern for the vessel itself or the temperature nozzles.

The modification will not adversely affect the pressurizer base metal due to any metallurgical changes caused by the weld process. This is the prime reason for the selection by the ASME Code for the weld procedures

{Half Bead Technique) specified in paragraph IWB-4000 of the Code.

The residual stresses created by this weld modification have been evaluated and determined that the residual stresses caused by the modification can be determined to be hoop stresses, just as was seen in the original design.

The fact that the residual stresses are in the hoop direction, and not in the axial direction, implies that any cracking of the nozzle that might occur as a result of these stresses would again be axial and not circumferential. Also it is likely that the operational hoop stresses as a result of the modification will be substantially less than for the original "J" weld.

This is due to the fact that nozzle exterior at the original "J" weld only saw only the tensile residual stresses caused by the shrinkage of the weld material, whereas the nozzle exterior at the pad weld will also see exterior pressure due to the cracks upstream on the nozzle pressurizing the bore of the pressurizer shell penetration. This exterior pressure is compressive and tends to lessen the total tensile stress on the nozzle.

Operational axial stress is not a concern at the TE-0101 nozzle due to the fact that it is being partially severed.

This allows any stresses due to the thermal expansion stresses caused by the difference in expansion between the inner and outer walls of the pressurizer and the nozzle material to plastically deform the nozzle in a known orientation and location. Operational axial stress is a potential concern in the TE-0102 nozzle, though, since it is remaining intact. This concern is mitigated by the fact that the corrosion mechanism that is producing the nozzle cracking is PWSCC and it is very time dependent.

Since the modification is intended to only be installed one fuel cycle, it is highly unlikely that enough time would be available for PWSCC to produce a through-wall crack.

The concern is also mitigated by the fact that the Re nce/Conment Ref 2.6.g, Att 9 Ref 2.6.f, Att 8 Ref 2.6.g, Att 9 Ref 2.6.d, Att 6 I e..

~ 1 I 1 axial stress in question is also self-limiting, due to its cause.

The stress is highest during high differential temperatures between the interior and exterior walls of the pressurizer. This is a relatively uncommon occurrence, especially for the water space of the pressurizer, other than during plant heatup and cooldown.

The intensity of the axial stress during steady state operation is likely to be much below the threshold stress required for the onset of PWSCC.

Since the highest level of stress only occurs during major changes in plant state and the modification is only intended for installation during one fuel cycle, there will be little time spent with the nozzle at its maximum axial stress. Thus, there still is not a realistic threat of a circumferential crack that would lead to Loss of Coolant Accident.

Another point to be considered with any cracking of the TE-0102 nozzle as a result of the high axial stress during heatup and cooldown is that any cracks that may occur due to the stress would occur between the "J" weld and the pad weld and thus would still be within the new pressure boundary.

As regards new cracks in the nozzle wall beyond the new pressure boundary, it has been the industry experience that PWSCC requires significant time to develop into through wall cracks. Since the areas of the nozzles to be welded by the modification were not highly stressed prior to the modification, and currently have no eddy current detected indications within them; it can be expected that any PWSCC that will occur in the newly welded areas will be minimal and will not likely cause through wall cracks prior to the replacement of the nozzles.

With no pre-existing flaws to accelerate the process, the time this modification is intended to be installed is insufficient to develop PWSCC.

Because a Code authorized weld process was used to form the new pressure boundary and the stresses created in the lower nozzle are within Code allowables, the modification will not adversely affect the pressurizer or nozzle at the TE-0102 nozzle.

d.

Operational axial stress is not a concern with TE-0101 due to the fact the nozzle is being partially severed. This cutting operation is being performed by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM}.

The EDM process is being used due to the fact that it produces only a residue that may be allowed to enter the PCS, thus simplifying the cutting operation by not requiring that the cutting be prevented from entering the PCS.

The EDM process only produces residue in the consistency of talcum powder since it essentially vaporizes the metal it 'is being used to cut through.

Since the EDM process is going to be used to cut lnconel 600, and lnconel 600 includes trace amounts of Cobalt, one of the concerns with releasing this residue to the PCS is the activation of the Co-60.

The fact that the modification would introduce this Cobalt bearing powder to the PCS was brought to the attention of Palisades Reactor Engineering department.

Allowing the EDM residue from Inconel 600 to enter the PCS was evaluated by Reactor Engineering as not being a concern to fuel integrity or PCS activation due to the fine consistency of the residue and the extremely small amounts of it being created.

Another concern with EDM is that it produces a very thin Reference/Cotrment Heat Affected Zone (HAZ}.

Per paragraph IWB-4212, if a Reference 2.2.c thermal process is used to remove metal from a P-No. 43 material, 1/16" of material must be removed after the thermal removal process is complete.

(Inconel 600 is grouped as a P-No. 43 material.} However, per ASME Code Ref 2.6.m Att 16 Interpretation XI-1-89-70, the requirements of paragraph IWB-4212 do not apply to the EDM process when used on P-No. 43 material; Thus no post-removal surface smoothing will be required after the EDM process is used to partially sever the TE-0101 nozzle.

Yet another concern with using the EDM process is ensuring that only the nozzle be cut. This is because there is no Code

  • interpretation for cutting the P-No. 3 base metal.

Without the Code interpretation the modification would have to take into consideration the requirement to mechanically remove whatever little HAZ may be created by the EDM process operating on the base metal.

However, due to the design, as indicated above in Section 4.4.e, the probability of contacting the base metal is minimized by leaving a 0.055 inch ligament of the nozzle behind.

This ligament has been evaluated as acceptable per the ASME EA-SC-93-087-04 Code.

Because the modification to the nozzle is being performed within the Code allowables, and because a Code authorized weld process was used to form the new pressure boundary, the modification will not adversely affect the pressurizer or the portion of the TE-0101 nozzle being relied on as a pressure.retaining component.

e.

The modification will not adversely affect the PCS due to the entry of foreign materials.

As discussed above, the only materials to enter the PCS are a small amount of EDM residue of powderized Inconel and the demineralized water used by the EDM process for cooling and dielectric. The residue has been evaluated by Reactor Engineering to not pose either a fuel damage risk or an activation problem.

The demineralized water has been estimated at 120 gallons (6 gal/hr

  • 20 hrs) and has been evaluated as not being a boron dilution problem.

Therefore the modification will not have an adverse effect on the PCS.

f.

In addition, the weld modification will not affect the temperature elements because they are not affected by the location of the structural support or pressure boundary, as long as they are not exposed to PCS pressure.

The leaks are not in an area that threatens to expose the TEs to PCS pressure, thus the modification will have no effect, in this regard, on the TEs.

The TEs will be removed from the thermowells prior to the weld modification, thus the actual installation of the

  • modification will not affect the TEs either.
g.

Overall, the modifi~ation will not affect either the system it is installed on or any interfacing systems except to restore the structural.support that may have been weakened by the cracks in the nozzles and to re-establish the pressure boundary that has been bypassed.

4.7 Critical Features Reference/ omnent The critical features that the modification must meet are that it must re-establish the structural support and the pressure boundary between the pressurizer and the containment atmosphere while not detrimentally affecting the structural integrity of the pressurizer or the nozzle.

The temperature elements and thermowells that are installed in the nozzles must continue to function normally.

The original "J" weld had two critical physical functions - (1) to provide structural support for the thermowell and thus the temperature element, and (2) to provide a pressure boundary between the pressurizer and the containment atmosphere.

The modification weld "pad" will function as the replacement structural support as determined the stress EA-SC-93-087-03 le calculation and also function as the replacement pressure

  • boundary due to its location.

Because the temperature elements will be removed during the welding and because the thermowells will not be damaged during the modification, there will be no adverse effects on the temperature elements, so the TEs will continue to function normally.

II 1 I 1 4.8 Critical Feature Verification

a.
b.
c.

The critical features of the weld will be verified by following the traveler, which calls for the use of non-destructive testing after the pad is installed by weld build-up on the pressurizer as required by section IWB-4344 of the Code.

The critical features of the modification will be verified, as required by the Code, via a leak check and visual inspections at normal operating conditions.

Per paragraph IWA-4500 (a) of the Code, an examination of the repaired area using the same technique as originally detected the flaw must be performed.

For the temperature element nozzles, this means that a visual inspection for leakage, with the insulation off, must be performed at 250 psig.

Per paragraph IWA-4400 (a) after repairs by welding on the pressure retaining boundary, a system hydrostatic test shall be performed per IWA-5000.

IWA-5214 requires that the replacement component (in this case the pressure boundary) be pressure tested to comply with the system pressure test specified in IWB-5222.

IWB-5222 (b) states that when a system hydrostatic test is conducted for a reactor vessel containing nuclear fuel and the vessel in within the system test boundary, the test pressure shall not exceed the limiting conditions specified in the plant Technical Specifications. Since the pressurizer is unisolable from the reactor vessel, and the reactor vessel will contain nuclear fuel during the performance of the hydrostatic test, this paragraph indicates that the test pressure shall not exceed the limiting conditions specified in the plant Technical Specification~; What this means is that the modification will have to be pressure tested to the m~ximum pressure allowed in the Technical Specifications, 2100 psia, and visually inspected at this pressure.

The critical function of normal indication observed on TE-0101 and TE-0102 will be verified by the plant operators during plant startup.

4.9 Weld Characteristics Weld characteristics for the modification are indicated on the design drawings.

The qualified weld procedure to be used for the creation* of the weld build-up "pad" is found as Reference 2.6.a.

The qualified weld procedure to reinstall the thermowell after the modification to the temperature nozzle attachment is found as Reference 2.6.e.

Procedures for attachment of thermocouples for monitoring pre-weld and post-weld heat treatments and t~e procedure for the monitoring the heat treatments are called for in Reference l.6.c.

~ 1 I 1 4.10 Code Reconciliation The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (B & PV) for the construction design of the pressurizer wasSection III of the R eren I nt 1965 edition with the winter 1966 addenda.

Per the Palisades Ref 2.6.h Att 10 Nuclear Plant Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 4.3.7, the pressurizer was built to ASME Section III 1965 edition with winter 1965 addenda.

The original engineering specification Ref 2.6.h Att 10 for the pressurizer, on pages 2 and 3, states that the winter 1966 addenda is approved for the Palisades pressurizer.

Based on this fact an FSAR Update.will be submitted to correct this error.

The design of the modified connection for the temperature nozzles is to the Section III of the ASME B & PV Code, 1965 edition with the winter 1966 addenda.

Since the EA-SC~93-087-03 design of the pressurizer and the design of the modification are to the same edition and addend~ of the Code, no reconciliation is required.

The modification-installation is to the ASME B & PV Code, 1983 edition with the summer 1983 addenda.

This particular edition and addenda of the Code has been approved as Palisades' Inservice Inspection (ISI) Code, and thus all welding to Section XI components at Palisades is done to this edition and addenda without the need for reconciliation to the Construction Code - the reconciliation was performed when this edition and addenda were approved as the ISI code.

(See Reference 2.6.j for a more detailed code 1 reconciliation.) Thus the modification design and installation are properly reconciled to the Construction Code.

5.0 CONCLUSION

The modification as specified in design drawings and installed per the Travelers is an acceptable modification to the Palisades Pressurizer Temperature Nozzles per the ASME. Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI.

The modification is being performed per the Code and thus will provide adequate structural support and a sufficient pressure boundary to continue operation of the Palisades Nuclear Plant for at least one full fuel cycle.

Subject:

Preliminary results of Nozzle TE-0101 Eddy Current Exam On October 16 1993, ABB/Combustion Engineering performed an eddy current examination of Nozzle TE-0101 located on the top of the pressurizer at Palisades Unit 1 Nuclear Plant. The inspection utilized the rotating 3-coil eddy current probe to aid in distinguishing an axial or circumferential orientated indication.

The results of the examination indicated four axial crack indications emanating from the inside of the pressurizer with a length of approximately one half inch.

The examination was performed utilizing a calibration standard with axial and circumferential indications of various sizes located on the ID of the standard.

To indicate the approximate size of the crack indications, a voltage setting of five volts was established on the 0.018" deep 1.0. axial notch in the calibration standard.

The size of the largest axial indication in the nozzle was approximately nineteen volts.

This indicates the axial indications are larger than the calibration standard notches.

Details of this inspection will be included in the final report to be issued at a later date. Graphic presentations and other documentation will be included in the final report.

1.

This procedure allows for use on a limited basis as defined below. The repair may be accomplished on P-3 materials made without PWHT or after the final PWHT.

2.

Prior to repair, the area shall be examined by magnetic particle or liquid penetrant methods in accordance with the acceptance standards on the specific code edition. This shall be defined by Quality Assurance. Each layer of deposit shall be visually inspected for uniformity prior to depositing subsequent layer *

3.

All weldin& shall be in accordance with ASME Section XI and IX and shall include the requirements listed below:

(a)

The repair area shall be suitably prepared for weldin& in accordance with the written procedure.

(b)

The weld metal shall be deposited by the manual shielded metal arc process using low hydroaen type electrode. The maximum bad width shall be three times the electrode core diameter.

(c)

All covered electtudes shall be from unopened hermetically sealed packages or heated ovens maintained between 225° F and 350' F. Electrodes exposed to the atmosphae for more than twenty minutes shall be re-heated at a temperature between 225° F and 35<1 F for at 1eut ei&ht (8) houn before re-issued for use.

Subject:

Corrosion of Palisades Pressurizer Material

Dear Mr. Gire:

Attached for your use/review is a draft evaluation of the corrosion of primary pressure boundary materials exposed to borated water. Admittedly, the data are limitedl but the results indicate there will be only minor eorrosion over the next fuel -cycle at the repaired nozzle locations.

These data have been previously used to assess corrosion at Arkansas-2, Palo Verde-1, etc. using a s1m1lar approach as described in tha report.

Contact ma if you need additional 1nformat1on.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

CORROSION OF PRIMARY PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIALS AT PALISADES EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 2 of 6 There are several Alloy 600 pressure boundary penetrations at the Palisades nuclear plant.

Typical applications include pressurizer heater sleeves, pressurizer temperature nozzles, hot and cold leg piping instrument/RTD nozzles, reactor vessel (RV) leakage monitoring

tubes, RV vent pipe and.

RV instrumentation.

All of these* nozzles are welded to the primary system components by J-groove partial penetration welds.

In recent years, a number of these Alloy 600 penetrations in several ABB-CE plants have developed leaks as a result of IO initiated stress corrosion cracks. During the 1993 refueling outage at Palisades, the pressurizer upper head and lower shell temperature instrumentation nozzles developed leaks.

Consumers Power Company elected to apply temporary leak repairs to return the plant to sarv;ca.

The temporary leak repairs at Palisades will result in non-clad pressurizer shell material being exposed to borated water or steam. The pressurizer shall is SA-533 Grade B Class 1 steel, a low alloy grade.

Low alloy and carbon steels used as pressure boundary materials ar1 clad with stainless steel or Alloy 600 weld metal to isolate the *1t1rials from the priury cool ant, thereby mi n1mi zing corrosion and corrosion product generation. The objecttve of th1s evaluation was to dete,..1n* and docU11ent the expected corroston for SA-533 Grade B steel. The results wtll also b1 applicable to other gr1d1s such as SA-508 Class 2 low alloy steel and SA-101 Grade B carbon steel used for primary system piping.

2.0 LITERATURE DATA

.Reference (1) presents the only published literature data that are applicable to Pa 1i sades.

During the 1965 refue 11 ng outage at Yankee Rowe, 1nspect1 on s discovered two small areas ~ere the reactor vessel cladding had been breached. '*

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 3 of 6 The cladding defects wee mechanically produced after a surveillance capsule became 1oose and dumped mechanical test specimens and other debris into the lower head of the reactor vessel. The lower head base metal was A302B steel which had been clad with Type 304 stainless steel plate using an intermittent spot welding technique. This fabrication process resulted in large areas of the cladding-base metal interface being unbonded. Thus, the breach in the cladding exposed large areas of the underlying base metal to the reactor coolant.

Because of concern about corrosion and hydrogen embr1tt1 ement, the reactor vendor initiated a test program to determine corrosion rates for A302B steel under operating and shutdown conditions and ta determine if hydrogen absorption was a concern. In this program, specimens of A302B were exposed to aerated and derated solutions of boric acid (2000-2500 ppm B) at temperatures ranging from 70'F to soo*F. The specimens included both electrically insulated coupons of A302B and coupons electrically grounded to Type 304 stainless steel to assess galvanic effects. Most of the testing was at low temperatures (70' to 140.F} in 2500 ppm B aerated and derated solutions for up to 121 days.

For these conditions, the test progra11 we 11 charactari z1d the corros 1 on rates of A302B. The reactor vendor also conducted a few short term {6-14 days) tests at 300-SOo*F in derated solutions containin9 2000 PP" B.

The results of tha study showed that hydrogen absorption was not a concern and that the exposed A3028 steel would corrode uniformly at a rate of about 3 mpy (mils per year) which was sufficiently low to be of no concern over the re11a1n1ng 25 year 11f1t1me of the plant.

C-E re-ex1111n9d the Reference (1) data in developing asti*ated corrosion rates applicable to th1 Palisades pressurizer applications in which the steels will be exposed to 640'F steam (low B levels) and water.

3.0 CORROSION RATE FOR PRESSURIZER MATERIAL I

3.1 Assyeptions C-E used three basic assumptions in developing a corrosion rate app1icab1a

  • 2-

3.2 to Palisades.

They were as fallows:

cA-.:iG-';iJ-uo, -0 i Page 4 of 6

1.

The corrosion of SA-533 Grade B Class 1 stee1 in bor1c acid solutions 1s equivalent to that of A302B.

Both grades are low alloy steels but there are minor compositional differences, with the most significant being higher Ni in the SA-533 Grade B Class 1 material.

The presence of Ni w1ll not adversely affect corrosion. Similarly, there are only minor differences between A302B and SA-508 Class 2 or 3 and SA-106 Grade B and these differences will not s1gnificant1y affect corrosion rates.

2.

During the upcoming cyc1e, Palisades will operate 80 percent of the time.

3.

While operating, the coolant will be darated. While shut down, the coolant will be aerated.

Rates for High Temperature Operation Palisades pr1mary coolant temperature during operation.is approximately 64o*F for the pressurizer. The maximw1 test temperature included in the Reference (1) progr111 was soo*F. Data were obtained for six specimens of A302B after only one week of tasting in a refreshed autoclave with a 2000 ppm B solution. For these specimens, the average corrosion rate was 0.6 mpy.

For the sp1cimen with the greatest observed weight loss, the corrosion rat* was l;O llPY*

Th*te valu*s for corrosion rates, which are based on short t1n11 tests, are probably higher than would have been obtained had tast times been significantly longer.

Carbon and low alloy steels usually follow a logarithmic or parabolic corrosion rate law.

The tilll required to reach a steady-state condition 111y exceed 100 days.

Rates during th* in1tia1 transient stage (which includes seven days) will be high ca11Pared to the steady-state corrosi'on rates.

/

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 5 of 6 There are no corrosion rate data for low alloy steels in borated water at temperatures above soo*F. However. the Reference (1) program did include tests at 300'F and 400'F in derated borated water.

These tests showed decreasing corrosion rates with increasing temperature. Based on th1s, c~

E judge that the (steady state) corrosion rate at 640°F wi 11 not be significantly greater than the rate at SOO'F.

In addition, the available data are from tests with 8 levels of 2000 ppm, significantly greater than expected at Palisades during the current fuel cycle, and, thus, they are.conservative with respect to actual conditions.

This is especially true for the steam spare nozzle location since boric acid has limited volatility.

3.3 Rates for Low Temperature Conditions During any unscheduled outage, the material may be exposed to low temperature aerated borated water. Reference (1) presented data for tests at 70, 100 and 140 1 F in aerated water with 2500 ppm B.

For th1s analysis, ioo*F was assumed to be of coolant temperatures during cold shutdown. The tests continued for 121 days with several 1nterim, weight loss determinations which showed that steady state rates had been obtained.

For the Reference (1) tests, the average corrosion rate for lOO'F was 7.0 mpy with an upper bound of the data indicating a worst case corrosion rate of 7.9 mpy.

The non-clad pressurizer or material will. be coupled.to the stainless stee-1 c1ad or Alloy 600 nozzles in the pressurizer. The use of dissimilar metals will causa some concern about galvanic effects.

In the Reference (1) tests, th1 A302B specimens were both insulated from and connected to Type 304 stainless steel, which chemically 1s similar to the stainless steel used for cladding of the primary system.

No difference in corrosion rates for the two types of specimens were observed and thus galvanic corrosion should not be a problett.

I

/

The limited corrosion that will occur will not be a local 1zed form of

-4*

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 6 of 6 corrosion (deep pitting, stress corrosion cracking, etc.). C-E experience in aerated borated water indicates that the corrosion morphology will consist of the superposition of shallow pits with no d~ep penetrations:

Reference ( 1) a 1 so indicated that corrosion would be uniform with no localized forms of corrosion being observed.

3.5 Overall Corrosion Rates Based on a split of 80 percent hot ope rat i ans and 20 percent cold shutdown, corrosion rates for the pressurizer material at Palisades were determined as follows using the rates described above:

"Worst case" corrosion rate - 1.0 mpy x 0.8 +

7.9 mpy yr. x 0.2 ~ 2.4 mils/year 3.6 Additional Cons1derat1ons The corrosion rate cited above is most applicable to situations where the material is exposed to water environments.

In areas of steam, the cited rate will be conservative because of reduced boric acid levels.

4.~

REC°"'ENDATION Fe nilysis purposes, ABB-CE rec0111ends a corrosion rate of 3 mils/year for the Palisades pressur9 boundary 111at1rial.

SUMMARY

The Nuclear Power Industry has begun to see a significant number of occurrences of Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) of Inconel 600 in NSSS penetration applications.

Palisades has 241 Inconel 600 Primary Coolant System penetrations. The new steam generator tubing is Inconel 600.

The development of PWSCC in a Primary system boundary can significantly impact plant availability and be expensive to repair. Calvert Cliffs required over one year to repair the first pressurizer heater sleeve cracks.

The recommended actions have been developed to meet the following objectives:

1. Avoid mid-cycle shutdowns via an inspection/replacement program.
2. Minimize cost by accepting a reasonable measure of risk.
3. Appropriately address regulatory concerns.
4. Ensure nuclear and personnel safety.

Alternatives range from doing nothing to replacing all Inconel 600 PCS boundary material. A summary of the recommendations is as follows:

1. Perform additional visual inspections of pressurizer penetrations each refueling outage.
2. Develop contingency plans to repair leaking pressurizer penetrations.
3. Continue to participate in industry initiatives to understand and mitigate PWSCC in PCS penetrations.
4. Replace high risk Inconel 600 material in the pressurizer.

These recommendations seek to balance risk with cost.

PWSCC of Inconel 600 will be a life extension issue.

PWSCC is dependent on a susceptible material, temperature, stress, and time. The relationship between these factors is not very well defined. As plant life increases within the nuclear industry, we may begin to see PWSCC at some lower temperature PCS locations. If that occurs, additional measures will be appropriate.

A single PWSCC initiated PCS pressure boundary leak will take at least 2 to 4 weeks to repair. This excludes additional time that may be required to perform additional inspections, address licensing/regulatory concerns, and find replacement material. The two pressurizer RTO's may be particularly difficult to repair quickly. In general, Palisades nozzle design is.easier to repair than newer plants, and the particular lots of inconel 600 used at Palisades have Page 1 Revision c

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 3 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL relatively favorable material properties. Operating time is a factor, so this will *become more of a concern as the plant ages.

Combustion Engineering has qualified equipment and procedures available for most repairs.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

A special CEOG Working Group was formed in November of 1989 to address Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) of Inconel 600. This Working Group agreed to the following objectives:

1. Identify the susceptibility of Inconel 600 penetrations to PWSCC.
a. Understand what contributed to Calvert Cliffs-2, SONGS-3, and st. Lucie failures.
b. Assess the susceptibility of installed components.
2. Address NRC concerns.
3. Investigate options to mitigate PWSCC in Primary system pressure boundary components.

In January of 1991 the Inconel 600 Working Group agreed to investigate PWSCC concerns related to steam generator tubing.

This was due to the discovery of PWSCC in the Maine Yankee steam generator tubing in December of 1990. The scope of this effort is undefined.

As a participant, Consumers Power also had the following objectives:

1. Share expertise, cost, and resources in dealing with PWSCC of Inconel 600. PWSCC could have a large impact on plant availability.
2. Assess the susceptibility of Palisades to PWSCC in Inconel 600 PCS penetrations.
3. Develop plans to mitigate PWSCC concerns (if necessary).

The Inconel 600 Working Group developed a series of tasks aimed at accomplishing the objectives. A summary of each task is provided in Attachment 2. The tasks are listed below:

1. Determine root cause of pressurizer heater sleeve PWSCC.

A. CEOG Task 633 Pressurizer Nozzle Evaluation B. CEOG Task 636 Pressurizer Heater Sleeve Evaluations

c. CEOG Task 639 Pressurizer Heater Sleeve Thermal Analysis

3.0 GENERAL DISCUSSION Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) of Inconel 600 products has become a nuclear power industry concern.

Palisades has 241 Primary Coolant System penetrations that have Inconel 600 sleeves or. nozzles. The widespread use of Inconel 600 in Primary System penetrations makes PWSCC a significant reliability and regulatory concern.

The following identifies failures that have been identified to date.

1. Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 experienced through wall cracking attributable to PWSCC in 20 out of 120 pressurizer heater sleeves.
2. SONGS Unit 3 experienced PWSCC in 4 pressurizer instrument nozzles. The nozzle material had a very high yield strength. The failure was attributed to a particular*

material heat number.

J. St. Lucie inspected one nozzle of the same heat number supplied to SONGS-3. It was cracked. They replaced all 6 nozzles of similar heat number.

4. Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 inspected pressurizer heater nozzles. They found 1 leaking and cracked. The original material was of low yield strength but had been reworked twice.
5. The Navy has experienced PWSCC failures of forged Inconel 600 at temperatures lower than CE pressurizer temperatures. Navy nozzles are rolled into place and welded.
6. Edf (French) has experienced PWSCC of forqed Inconel 600, includinq circumferential indications. Edf nozzles are rolled and welded.
7. Westinghouse has experienced PWSCC of forged Inconel 600 steam generator tube plugs.
s. Westinghouse has experienced PWSCC of Inconel 600 steam generator tubes.

9. Maine Yankee has experienced PWSCC of Inconel 600 steam generator tubing.

10.Arkansas Nuclear. Unit l (B&W Plant) experienced a cracked pressurizer nozzle in December of 1990.

Repairs of cracked Primary System boundary material are expensive, dose intensive, and time consuming. Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) involves intergranular stress corrosion cracking of alloy steels in a primary water environment. Three things are needed to develop PWSCC. They are:

1. Residual or operating stress. In the ID of these nozzles and tubes the stress must be a tensile stress.

Current thinking is about 40 ksi of tensile stress is required to initiate PWSCC in Inconel 600.

2. Temperature. PWSCC is highly temperature dependent.

CE believes (based on literature) the corrosion rate doubles for every temperature increase of lOC (18F).

This is why the pressurizer is most vulnerable.

2. The material must be susceptible to PWSCC. Desirable characteristics of Inconel 600 tubing products (sleeves and steam generator tubing) are well researched.

Much less is known about hot forged Inconel 600 (nozzles).

High material yield strength is undesirable

  • PWSCC continues to pose a large economic risk to the Palisades Plant. This risk is shared by all operating nuclear plants with Inconel 600 penetrations. We should not be surprised by the failure of any single Inconel 600 penetration. The probability of developing a PWSCC initiated PCS leak is increased by
l. High service temperatures
2. High residual stresses developed during installation
3. High material yield strength
4. Service time PWSCC will not occur in inconel 600 without residual stress.

CE has estimated the minimum stress to initiate a PWSCC crack at 40 ksi. Higher residual stress levels will shorten the time to initiate a crack. Higher service temperatures and high material yield strength will shorten the time to initiate a PWSCC crack. It is unclear exactly what the minimum temperature is below which no cracks will occur. CE estimates that material with a yield strength greater than so ksi is unfavorable; ie more likely to crack. This general guidance helps provide the basis for identifying penetrations with the highest susceptibility to PWSCC. This does not mean PWSCC will never occur in relatively low probability Page 4 Revision c

EA-SC 93 087-0L Page 6 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL locations.

The probability is lower, but not zero.

Temperature is a key factor in the development of PWSCC. The rate of PWSCC will double for every 18F increase in temperature. It is therefore reasonable to expect most of the initial problems to occur in the pressurizer. The installation processes used throughout the PCS are relatively similar; as such the residual stresses should be similar. The relationship between temperature and PWSCC rates is very helpful in developing an assessment of areas most at risk. It is clear that most initial failures will occur in pressurizer penetrations. As such, it is reasonable to focus most inspection efforts in this area. It is important to note that ongoing inspection programs at other commercial nuclear power plants provide a much larger data base to make conclusions from, and to continuously evaluate previous assumptions. It will be worthwhile to use this information to periodically re-evaluate Palisades respo~se to this issue.

One of the key points in determining that the PWSCC of Inconel 600 penetrations is not a safety issue is the axial orientation of the cracks. Circumferential cracking can cause a catastrophic failure of the pressure boundary, potentially ejecting a nozzle or sleeve. The residual stresses that are present in the heat affected zone of the welds result in a hoop stress that may cause axial cracking, not circumferential cracking.

Some work done under CEOG Task. 636 directly supports this conclusion. The residual stresses created near the heat affected zone are directly dependent on the inconel 600 material properties. Pre-reaming results in hi9h hardness/high yield strength at the ID of the sleeve/nozzle.

Welding then creates residual stresses that are limited by the material properties at the surface. The residual stresses govern material susceptibility. High strength non-reamed material is of slightly less concern, but residual stress is still governed by material properties. Low strength material is also under tensile stress due to welding, but susceptibility is lower because residual stresses cannot exceed the yield stren9th of the material.

Additional work determined most of the sleeve/nozzle area is actually under compressive stress. Tensile stress is required to develop PWSCC. Lower stress levels are required to propagate a crack than to initiate one, so developing a high enough tensile stress on the ID of the sleeve/nozzle is critical in initiating a crack.

EA-SC-93 087-01 Page 7 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL actually beneficial in removing a layer of the material under the highest tensile stress.

It is also worth noting that pressurizer heater sleeve failures have occurred due to the failure of pressurizer heaters. Both Arkansas Nuclear Unit 2 and San Onofre have experienced heater sleeve failures caused by the swelling of a failed pressurizer heater. The failed heater can be extremely difficult to remove. As time goes on the heater swells and places enough pressure on the heater sleeve to cause cracking. The prompt replacement of a failed pressurizer heater can prevent this problem.

4.0 SUSCEPTIBILITY Q.[ PALISADES PRESSURIZER HEATER SLEEVES TO PWSCC Pressurizer heater sleeves are fabricated from a tubular cold worked form of Inconel 600. The susceptibility of cold worked Inconel 600 is reasonably well known. Significant research has been done due to the widespread use of cold worked Inconel 600 in Steam Generator tubing. Combustion Engineering completed CEN-393-1 titled "Evaluation of Pressurizer Heater Sleeve Susceptibility to Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking". This was done as CEOG Task 631, and completed in November of 1989. Additional work was completed in CEOG Task 636, "Pressurizer Heater Sleeve Evaluations".

Palisades pressurizer heater sleeves were categorized in the low susceptibility range for PWSCC. This determination was made based on the low yield strength of the material, absence of pre-installation reaming of the sleeve, and the absence of rework on the heater sleeves. Plants having inconel 600 with a yield strength above 50 ksi, or those having pre-installation reaming done were categorized as moderate risk units. Plants having both a hiqh yield strength material and pre-installation reaming have been categorized as high susceptibility. The susceptibility ratings are relative measures of probability, not absolute measures that PWSCC will or will not occur.

Two units were identified as high susceptibility, six units as moderate susceptibility, and seven units as low susceptibility.

Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 was a high suaceptibility plant.

The development of PWSCC in the steam generator tubing at Maine Yankee is a cause for concern

  • Steam generator tubing sees lower service temperatures than those experienced in the pressurizer. The steam generator tubing installed in the Maine Yankee plant has favorable properties: ie it is not Page 6 Revision c

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 8 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL highly susceptible to PWSCC. Steam generator tubing is explosively expanded into place, which may introduce high residual stresses at the tube sheet. This is where the Maine Yankee tubes cracked.

The plants with unfavorable pressurizer heater sleeve material should provide a valid indication of concern prior to pressurizer heater sleeves cracking at Palisades. Due to the statistical nature of PWSCC, and the minor differences that may occur in installing individual sleeves, we should not be surprised if a few failures occur in lower susceptibility tubing. As such, we should be prepared to respond to a small number of pressurizer heater sleeve failures.

5.0 SUSCEPTIBILITY Ql PRIMARY SYSTEM INCONEL §.QQ. NOZZLES TO PWSCC All Palisades Primary coolant System nozzles contain some Inconel 600. All Inconel 600 forged products have some susceptibility to PWSCC. The relationship between material yield strength and PWSCC that helps classify cold worked Inconel 600, does not work very well for hot forged products (nozzles). Evaluations of grain boundary and carbide location have also been unsuccessful in quantifying the susceptibility of hot forged Inconel 600.

The relationship between PWSCC and temperature helps reduce the area of highest concern. All Inconel 600 nozzles that have developed PWSCC to date are in the pressurizer. This is what we would expect based on system operating temperature.

The temperature runs about SOF hotter than the rest of the PCS. This would increase the corrosion rate by a factor of eight compared to the rest of the PCS. This is also supported by the fact that PCS nozzle cracking has not been identified during the 10 year ISI inspections that are required by Section XI. If widespread PWSCC was occurring at lower temperatures, it would have been detected by the ASME Section XI program, or a boric acid walkdown at some of the many nuclear plants that are in service. section XI inspection criteria apply to all plants, presenting a large data base of information.

It remains clear that three conditions are necessary to develop PWSCC in any Inconel 600 product. They are:

1. Susceptible material
2. Temperature
3. Residual or operating stresses that produce a high tensile Page 7
  • Revision c

EA-SC-93-087-0L Page 9 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL stress in the material Combustion Engineering has unsuccessfully tried to identify nozzle characteristics related to PWSCC susceptibility. This was done under CEOG. Task 633. CE evaluated the BG&E nozzle.

No evidence of chemical contamination was found. This supports the cracking being PWSCC. Hot worked Inconel 600 produces more variations in yield strength, grain size, and carbide precipitation. This makes evaluating characteristics that promote PWSCC much more difficult. Previous work done on steam generator tubing does not accurately predict the susceptibility of hot forged nozzles.

The BG&E nozzle cracks were-initiated on the internal diameter (ID). The crack growth rate was very slow.

This indicates a high tensile stress existed on the nozzle ID, and was initially relieved by cracking. crack growth slowed because operating stresses are much lower than presumed residual stresses. Higher stress is necessary to initiate crack growth than to propagate growth.

Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 found the leaking nozzle during an external inspection. Boric acid crystals were present.

SONGS-3 found their leak due to steam leakage observed during a startup walkdown.

Due to the high probability that PWSCC that will occur first in the pressurizer, each pressurizer nozzle was evaluated in Attachment l. A brief summary is provided below:

Pressurizer Pressurizer PORV Nozzle Pressurizer Pressurizer Pressurizer Pressurizer Surge Line Nozzle

- moderate susceptibility Spray Nozzle

- moderate susceptibility

- high susceptibility Safety Valve Nozzle-high susceptibility Upper Level Nozzles-moderate susceptibility Lower Level Nozzles-moderate susceptibility Temperature Nozzles-moderate susceptibility 6.0 SAFETY SIGNIFICAHCE PWSCC of Inconel 600 nozzles and sleeves is not a nuclear safety concern for Combustion Engineering plants. All cracking that has occurred to date has been axial. While this may result in through wall leakage, axial cracks will not cause a catastrophic failure of the pressure boundary.

Some circumferential cracking has been observed in French PWR's. EdF (French) plants roll nozzles into place prior to welding. This results in a stress riser at the roll Page 8 Revision c

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~E~A~-::s~c 93-087-0l Page 10 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL transition. PWSCC can develop at this location resulting in a circumferential crack. CE nozzles are not rolled into place.

  • They were slid into place and welded. No circumferential indications have been found in CE nozzles.

The leakage path through a sleeve or nozzle can be rather tortuous. This results in relatively iow leak rates in the surrounding area. Combustion Engineering has constructed a mockup of a pressurizer heater sleeve and measured actual carbon steel base metal corrosion in the area of the simulated PWSCC initiated leak. This work was done as CEOG Task 637. The corrosion rate was estimated for one full operating cycle, and the pressure boundary integrity was not affected. It is important to note that if a leak remains active and undetected long enough, significant erosion/corrosion of the base metal may occur.

7.0 REPAIR OPTIONS Cracked pressurizer heater sleeves and nozzles have been replaced at a number of plants. Both Combustion Engineering and Babcock and Wilcox have qualified repair techniques, procedures, and equipment available for pressurizer heater sleeves.

The Combustion Engineering technique can be used on a single heater sleeve. Combustion Engineering has qualified techniques, equipment, and procedures available for most PCS nozzle locations. The Inconel 600 Working Group is looking at future activities to assure materials and equipment are available for all likely repairs. A single cracked PCS penetration would probably take three to four weeks to repair. Repairing multiple failures would take lonqer.

Replacement material is not presently readily available in significant quantities. The Calvert cliffs Unit 2 repair took well over one year.

8.0 RECOMMENDED ACTIONS The recommended actions have been developed to meet.the following objectives:

1. Avoid mid-cycle shutdowns via an inspection/replacement progra11.
2. Minimize cost by accepting a reasonable measure of risk.
3. Appropriately address regulatory concerns.
4. Ensure nuclear and personnel safety.

A. INSPECTION

1. continue to perform boric acid walkdowns on the PCS.
2. continue to monitor the results of 10 year ISI inspections Page 9 Revision c

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 11 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL on PCS nozzles.

3. Install a small piece of removable insulation on each pressurizer nozzle location. This will permit a bare metal visual examination. An ESSR has been submitted for a cost estimate of this task.
4. Perform and document visual external inspections of every pressurizer nozzle/sleeve each refueling outage. This should be done and documented as a VT-2 exam with the insulation removed.
s. Develop a PT process for inspecting the internal heat affected zone of the pressurizer safety valve nozzles, if they are not replaced.

B. REPAIR

1. Be prepared to repair Inconel 600 leaks that may develop.
a. Determine the lead time for replacement PCS penetrations material. Evaluate advance purchase of selected material, possibly within the CEOG program.
b. Purchase replacement nozzles for the pressurizer safety valve flanges. These should eventually be replaced.
c. Evaluate the cost benefit of paying to modify vendor equipment and procedures to repair Palisades pressurizer RTO penetrations.

C. REPLACE

1. Determine the most appropriate replacement material(s) for inconel 600 PCS penetrations.
1. Replace high strength incon.el 600 material in the pressurizer. ESSR's have been submitted to replace five pressurizer nozzles with a yield strength of 77 ksi.
2. Replace pressurizer heaters promptly if they fail. This should occur during the next outage of acceptable duration.

D. PARTICIPATE IN INCONEL 600 INDUSTRY INITIATIVES

1. Sponsor an effort to define the stress characteristics of butt welds on safe ends. The stress characteristics of these welds has significant implications for Palisades.

Palisades nozzle joint design is relatively unique. This task i* extremely important; if residual stress is not present PWSCC will not occur, even in highly susceptible material. CE will be quoting this task before June 14, 1991.

2. Participate in the CEOG Task to develop a justification for operation with an unknown PWSCC initiated leak. This document will support the inspection recommendations that will be made by the CEOG Inconel 600 Working Group, and support the justification for restar,t after a single leak.

Page 10 Revision c

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 12 of 31 STATUS REPORT ON PRIMARY WATER STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF INCONEL 600 PRIMARY SYSTEM PRESSURE BOUNDARY MATERIAL

3. Evaluate participation in zinc injection studies looking at reducing the susceptibility of Inconel 600 to PWSCC.
4. Participate in CEOG Inconel 600 Working Group activities.

This includes EPRI efforts on Inconel 600. This will also help identify other failures that may occur at other plants. Experience within the industry will directly impact the measures taken to assure acceptable economic risks are taken at Palisades.

5. Evaluate participation in CEOG efforts in the area of remedial measures. This may include nickel plating, stress relief, etc.

Discussion: The safe end should be considered medium risk to develop PWSCC. It has been exposed to a hiqh service temperature and has bee'n welded on both ends. The nozzle material is slightly above the 50 ksi guideline for high risk applications. This particular nozzle is at the bottom of the liquid space. This should be the lowest temperature location in the pressurizer. PWSCC that has occurred to date has been in the pressurizer steam space. The thickness and geometry of the safe end will have unknown effects on the susceptibility of,the nozzle. The tact a repair would involve two external, welds would be helpful if a repair is required.

It is unknown what the susceptibility of the ring assembly would be. The repair would be extremely difficult. Th* absence of operating differential pre**ure is helpful; thia is not a pres*ure retaining component. one o! the key requirements tor PWSCC to occur is either residual of operating stress. The lack of differential pressure eliminates operating stress as a source of stress.

Discussion: The safe end nozzle should be considered moderate risk to develop PWSCC. It is welded on both ends. Due to the steady stream of pressurizer spray liquid, the service temperature would be closer to the cold leg temperature than to the pressurizer temperature. This greatly reduces the risk of developing PWSCC at this location. The nozzle material is well above the 50 ksi guideline for high risk applications.

PWSCC that has occurred to date has been in the pressurizer steam space. The thickness and geometry of the safe end will have unknown effects on the susceptibility of the nozzle. The tact a repair on the safe end would involve only external welds, and that it is located on top of the pressurizer would be helpful if a repair is required.

STATUS This test LS complete.

The final report was issued 02-18-91.

SCO?E

1. Compile manufacturing data.

2, Complete destructive evaluation of Calvert Cliffs-2 leaking pressurizer nozzle.

J. Evaluate the Calvert Cliffs-2 nozzle and SONCS-3 leaking nozzles.

4. Develop susceptibility criteria for hot forged Inconel 600, or identify additional activities.
5. Complete report
  • DISCUSSION There is very little published information on PWSCC 1u1ceptibility of hot forged Inconel 600.

It is likely that additional work will be required in this area.

Preliminary information indicates hot forged Inconel 600 is different than cold worked Inconel 600.

Tubular products are cold worked.

Pressurizer heater sleeves are tubular materials.

Other PCS nozzles were produced from hot for1ed Inconel 600.

The following sumnarize1 information known to date:

l. SONCS-3 experienced P\\llSCC of 4 pre11urizer instrument nozzles.

Th***

nozzles had very hi&h yield 1tren1th. The failure wa1 attributed to a part ic1Jlar material heat number.

2. St. Lucie inspected l nozzle of the same heat number.

It was cracked.

They replaced all 6 nozzles of similar heat number.

3. Calvert Cliffs-2 inspected pressurizer nozzles.

They found l leaking and cracked.

The oriainal material was of low yield strength but had been reworked twice.

4. The Navy ha1 experienced PWSCC failures of forged Inconel 600 at temperatures lower than CE pre11urizer temperatures.

Navy nozzle* are rolled into place and welded

At:.t:.achnient: 3 Page 2 of 3 05/09/91 EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 23 of 31

5. EdF nas experienced PWSCC of forged Inconel 600, including circumferential indications.

Edf nozzles are rolled and welded.

EdF found two cracked nozzles and performed NOE on some additional pressurizer nozzles.

They found 40 additional nozzles that were cracked but not yet leaking.

It is expected that: these criteria will identify the most likely new crack locations.

If PWSCC becomes widespread, the criteria may need to be broadened to ensure that all leaks are found.

A nozzle would be classified as high risk if it is in the pressurizer, and either has a high yield strength or has been reworked.

6. B&W and Westinghouse have forged Inconel 600 nozzles in their NSSS.

AN0-1 (B&W Plant) recently experience~ a cracked Inconel 600 nozzle in the pressurizer.

B&W performed 1tres1 relief of the pressurizer after the nozzle welding was done.

B&W had used this argument (stress relief) as the basis for saying PWSCC would not occur on B&W plants.

The nozzle material has a yield strength of 46 ksi, and a microstructure typical of low temperature annealed forged alloy 600.

7. Both B&W and Westinghouse have experienced PWSCC of forged Inconel 600 tube plugs.

Both companies cold work the material during installation~

CE nozzles are not rolled.

They were slid into place and welded.

It is presently believed that the rolling introduced a stress that has led to circum-ferential cracking.

CE has evaluated the BG&E nozzle.

CE concluded that:

l. The mechanism was Primary Water Stress Corrosion Crackina (PWSCC).
2. The material was typical for forged material.
3. Low strength forged Inconel 600 will crack.

No evidence of chemical contamination was found.

This supports the cracking being PWSCC.

Hot worked Inconel 600 produces more variations in-yield strength, grain size, and carbide precipitation. This makes evaluating characteristics that promote PWSCC much more difficult.

Previous work done on steam generator tubes (cold worked) probably will not accurately predict the susceptibility of hot forged nozzles.

CE is looking at the affects of the J weld on the metal mic:roscruc:ture.

The BC&E nozzle cracks initiated on the internal diameter (ID).

Crack growth indicated the rate was very slow.

This indicates high tensile stress existed on the nozzle ID, and was initi&lly relieved by the cracking.

Crack growth slowed because operating stresses are much Lower than presumed residual stresses.

Higher stress is necessary to in:~iate a crack than to propagate one

  • CE also evaluated a failed SONC-3 nozzle.

The material properties were very different than the Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 nozzle.

There are no clearly defensible c:riceria for classifyin1 the susceptibility ot for1ed Inconel 600 product1.

CEOC TASK 633 PRESSURIZER NOZZLE EVALUATION Page 3 of 3 05/09/91 EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 24 of 31 Calvert Cliffs-2 found their Leaking nozzles during an external inspection.

Boric acid crystals were present.

SONCS-3 found their leak due to steam Leakage observed during a startup walkdown.

All Inconel 600 forged product has some susceptibility to PWSCC.

The CEOC Inconel 600 Working Croup has developed the following draft criteria for identifying high susceptibility Locations:

~

1. Service temperature. All cracks found to date have been located in the pressurizer.

The service temperature is 50° higher than the PCS temperature.

2. Material yield strength. All cracks found to date have been in nozzle materials with a yield strength greater than 50 ksi.

The one Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 nozzle that is an exception was reworked twice.

It was repaired with stick welding, not tig welding as originally done by CE.

3. iework or cold work. Reworking a.nozzle can introduce higher residual stresses.

CE did not roll or expand nozzles during installation.

It is expected that these criteria will identify the most likely new crack locations.

If PWSCC becomes widespread, the criteria may need to be broadened to ensure that all leaks are found.

A nozzle is classified as high risk if it is in the pressurizer, and either has a high yield strength or has been reworked.

OBJECTIVE Accachznenc /')

Page l of 05/13/91 EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 26 of 31 This task will provide a qualified eddy current technique for inspeccing pressurizer heater sleeves.

If leakage were co develop in one sleeve this would provide a qualified mechod of inspeccing the other sleeves.

STATUS This task is complete.

Palisades did noc participate in this task.

l. Develop heater sleeve standards..
2. Qualify NOE technique and procedure against known standards.

DISCUSSION The CEOC Working Group felt it would be beneficial to have a qualified method available for inspecting pressurizer heater sleeves.

This will allow all 1leeve1 to b* inspected if a leak occurs.

l. Compare metallurgical condition of Calvert Cliffs-2 heater sleeves t:.hat:. did not crack with sleeves that cracked in service at Calvert Cliffs-2 and ANO.
2. Determine the magnitude and orienc:ation of stresses in pressurizer heac:er sleeves.
3. Determine the effects of localized stress relief.

STATUS A draft copy of the final report was issued f~r comment on 05-01-91.

l. Desc:ructively examine 8 Calvert: Cliffs-2 (CC-2) sleeves and 2 ANO sleeves.
2. Evaluate data from failed sleeves and sleeves that did not fail.

Try to characterize failure

  • DISCUSSION Task l is complete.

All 10 heater sleeves have been de1tructively examined.

The following are the re1ults:

l. CE found smeared metal on the ID of 9 of 10 sleeves.

1 sleeve from ANO was not smeared.

They found smeared metal in the non-machined/reamed area of 4 sleeves.

2. They found evidence1 of intergranular penetration* l &rain deep on l sleeve in a non-reamed area.

This was also ob1erved in 1ome new Inconel 690 tubing.

Thia is probably due to the manufacturin1 process.

3. No significant microatructure differences were ob1erved.

Welding introduces many variables affecting sleeves.

CE preliminary conclusion is that the CC-2 sleeves would all have craclited over time.

There were no dif ference1 in the metallurgy of the cracked and non-craclir.ed sleeves.

CE constructed a mockup to determine if the tensile 1tres1 required for PWSCC waJ caused by welding.

Destructive examination of the heat affected zone demonstrated that the welding process does produce the necessary ten1ite hoop 11tre11.

The 1tre11 wa1 found where it was predicted, confirming previous thoughts on the mechanism

Attachment ~~

Page 2 ~f J 05/09/91 EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 28 of 31 CE examined four pressurizer heater sleeve mockups to determine the affects of welding on residual stress.

The four mockups were:

l. Reamed and then welded.
2. Welded in a non-reamed area.
3. Welded in non-reamed area and then reamed.
4. Welded in reamed area and then stress relieved.

CE concluded:

1. Stress relief may lower residual stress, but may actually change the Inconel 600 structure to make it more susceptible to PWSCC,
2. There are high tensile stresses near the heat affected zone at the inner surface.

These stresses are circumferential which would produce an axial PWSCC crack,

3. The non-prereamed welding also produced high stre11e1, but not as high.

Applying EPRI's predictive model conclud11 that the stati1tical life of the non-prereamed sleeve i1 4t times longer.

PWSCC i1 1till predicted to occur.

4. Residual stress values are not absolute number1.

They are relative measures of residual stress.

S. This work directly supports the earlier conclusions with some engineering basis.

The residual stresses caused near the Heat Affected Zone by welding are directly dependent on the material properties.

Pre-r1amin1 results in high hardne11/hi1h yield 1trength at the ID of the 1leev1.

Weldin1 then creates residual 1tr11111 that are limited by the material* properties at the surface.

The re1idual stresses 1overn PWSCC 1u1c1ptibility.

High strength non-reamed material is 1lightly le11 concern, but residual stress is still governed-by material properties.

Low strength material is tensilly stressed due to welding, but susceptibility is lower because residual 1tr11111 are 1overn1d by material properties.

The present CE number for susceptibility is 40 ksi residual stress.

6. All Inconel 600 sleeves are susceptible to PWSCC.

The susceptibility is relative and time related.

Installation proces111 and material properties will affect the susceptibility of each plant and each 1l11ve.

Many sle1ve1 may not experience PWSCC during the 40 year life of the plant.

7. Post weld reaming did not produce tensile 1tre11es. It actually appeared helpful in low1rin1 the tensile 1tre1s on the inner sleeve diameter.
8. Reamed and non-reanNd area1 i*~mote from the weld have compre11iv1 or low tensile 1tresse1
  • 9, The original plant rankings *(CEN-393) of heater sleeve 1u1ceptibility should not be changed.

Attachment l~

Page 3 of 3 05/09/91 EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 29 of 31 Corrosion testing to determine the m1n1mum residual stress necessary to produce PWSCC was completed in May of 1991.

C-ring specimens were stressed to different stress levels to determine the affects on PWSCC initiation.

The maximum induced stress was 80 ksi.

Testing did not produce PWSCC initiated cracks.

This may be due to the yielding of the C-ring specimen, resulting in a lower stress being present.

The test results do indicate that the welding process induces a tensile stress greater than 80 ksi.

An analysis of a sleeve that failed at AN0-2 in 1987 determined that: that failure wa1 also due to PWSCC.

Several heaters failed and 1welled.

The heacer induced a large tensile stress on the heater sleeve which resulted in a PWSCC leak developing in che pressurizer heater sleeve.

05/ 0';.

EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 30 of 31 To demonstrate that the development of a leak on-line will not seriously erode the pressure boundary and jeopardize plant safety.

STATUS The task is complete.

The final report was issued 04-29-91.

SCOPE

l. Construct a mock-up of a pressurizer hea~er sleeve.

Measure corrosion rates of shell material associated with a PWSCC initiated leak.

DISCUSS ION Existing corrosion data is very conservative.

The corrosion that actually occurred at BC&E was minor.

Meuuring corrosion under actual leakage conditions will accurately represent what we would expect in the plant.

This supports the position that a PWSCC initiated leak will not jeopardize plant safety.

The testing that was performed is conservative.

The erosion/corrosion test began with a significant crack, and utilized steam generator tubing.

Steam generator tubing is thinner than pressrizer heater sleeves.

CE used SA-5338 base material, five inches thick, with a two to eight mil clearance between the tube and base material.

Test temperature was 600F with 800 PPM boron.

The preliminary test results are as follows:

l. There was no hidden corrosion damage.

A visual inspection it an effective method of ascertainin1 damage.

2. The corrosion consisted primarily of pitting, with very little base metal erosion.
3. Very Little base material was removed during the test.

Most of the base metal inner bore was not corroded.

This test d.. onstrated that previously published erosion/corrosion data is excessive for this application.

STATUS Testing has been completed.

The test report will be issued on 2-1-91.

!?age l of 05/13/91 EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 31 of 31 This task will help determ~ne why the PWSCC that occurred at Calvert Cliffs-2 occurred where it did, and will help us understand where we should be most concerned.

l. Develop a temperature profile of a typical pressurizer heater sleeve.

STATUS This task is complete.

The final report was issued 04-29-91.

1. Develop a computer model simulating expected thermal profiles.

DISCUSSION The area cracking that has occurred appears to be between 644°F and 647°F.

The temperature in this region of the sleeve is relatively independent of the insulation configuration.

EA-SC-93-087-01 ATTACHMENT 8 Half Bead Welding Effects

To SSOverway, Palisades From JCNordby, Palisades Da,te October 18, 1993 Subject Effects of Half Bead Welding on Base Metals cc DJVandeWalle, Palisades EA-SC-93-087-01 Page 1 of 2 CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY Internal Correspondence JCN93*029 Modifications will be made to TE-0101 and TE-0102 on the pressurizer using the half bead welding technique as an alternative to conventional postweld heat treatment (PWHT).

However, a question was raised as to what effect this welding technique will have on pressurizer and/or nozzles.

As a result I am writing this letter to inform you that, for the intended application, there will be no significant adverse effects on the pressurizer and/or nozzle resulting from the use of ABB/Combustion Engineering welding procedure specification (WPS) SMA-3.43-937 (half bead welding).

Essentially, the reason there will be no adverse mechanical effects on the pressurizer and/or nozzle is the fact that all of the WPSs have been qualified in accordance with ASME Section IX and the half bead welding rules of ASME Section XI.

Because there is no way of nondestructively evaluating the mechanical properties of a production weld, WPS qualification test coupons are prepared and destructively tested to establish ranges of variables which will produce sound welds.

This qualification has been done for SMA-3.43-937.

No significant adverse metallurgical effects on the pressurizer and/or nozzle are assured basically through control of preheat, interpass and PWHT temperatures.

From the standpoint of the pressurizer base metal, the qualification tests described above assure a sound microstructure.

The inconel nozzle is a different case.

Inconel is a nickel alloy.

Corrosion resistance is one of its more important properties.

Outside of the heat affected zone (HAZ) from welding, the inconel nozzle will only see temperatures well under its maximum design temperature and therefore no adverse effects will occur.

The area of concern is the HAZ.

The corrosion resistance of the heat affected zone (HAZ) is not verified by the mechanical tests required by WPS qualification.

Although far less vulnerable to the effects of temperature on corrosion resistance than austenitic stainless steel, the amount of carbide precipitation resulting from welding temperatures is limited by the 450°F interpass temperature.

In addition, the 500°F +/-50°F PWHT temperature is far below that required for carbide precipitation (in fact, it is lower than operating temperatures).

The inconel weld metal itself is of least concern.

Aside from the qualification tests described above and the inherent as-welded toughness of nickel alloys, the carbon in this weld metal is stabilized.

Because of additions of columbium and tantalum, this material will not experience additional carbide precipitation resulting in possible lowering of corrosion resistance, either from the heat of subsequent beads or PWHT.

In conclusion, it should be noted that this modification has been performed at other plants with success.

While welding will always have an effect on base metal properties, the question is not simply will the effect be detrimental, but will the effect be detrimental for the intended application.

For this

EA-SC-93-087-01 intended application, the effects of welding using SMA-3.43-937 will not adversely affect the pressurizer and/or nozzles.

CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY Interna 1 CC Correspondence RBJ93*064 INTRODUCTION Modifications are currently being prepared for two temperature instrumentation nozzles in the Palisades Plant pressu~izer. The modifications are being conducted in order to eliminate primary coolant system leakage through what are believed to be axial cracks in the temperature instrumentation nozzles.

The axial cracking phenomenon in these Inconel 600 sleeves, while new at Palisades, has been experienced in the nuclear power industry at many installations over the last several years.

In addition, the modifications being contemplated for the instrumentation nozzles have been successfully completed at other plants. The difference between the modifications being considered at Palisades from those completed at other plants is that the Palisades modifications are being planned very shortly after circumferential cracking was discovered in the PORV line. The recent PORV line cracking experience has raised awareness of the potential for circumferential cracking in Inconel 600.

It is the purpose of the discussion below to explain how the PORV line cracking and temperature instrumentation line cracking are different in some very significant aspects and why the differences can explain why circumferential cracking in the temperature instrumentation nozzles is not expected.

EA-SC-93-087-01 REVIEW OF INSTRUMENT LINE EXPERIENCE Reference (1) summarizes relevant pressurizer instrumentation cracking experience in France.

The nozzle configurations are not unlike those of current concern at Palisades.

The welding is a partial penetration/fillet weld detail. The impact of the weld shrinkage is to constrict the instrument tube circumferentially. The instrumentation lines see little in terms of axial loads. Detailed NOE and other test work showed that:

Most cracks were axial Only axial cracks penetrated beyond half the wall thickness Weld residual stresses are higher in the circumferential direction than in the axial direction.

Reference (2) is a very comprehensive discussion of pressurizer instrumentation and weld configurations very similar to those of current concern.

The conclusions of that work scope include the following:

The J-weld construction can generate very high residual tensile hoop stresses adjacent to the weld Pre-installation reaming tends to result in higher residual stresses Axial stresses tend to be compressive or relatively low tensile 2

Based upon service experience, laboratory studies and stress analysis, the initiation and propagation of circumferential cracks is unlikely Reference (3) reviews control rod drive and incore instrumentation nozzle cracking via detailed analysis work.

Although the specific application is the reactor vessel, the conclusions apply to the pressurizer instrumentation configurations as well. Those conclusions note that hoop stresses in those systems are greater than axial stresses and that weld residual stresses are significantly higher than externally applied or other operational loads.

REVIEW OF THE PORV LINE EXPERIENCE Reference (4) and its enclosures document the PORV line/nozzle cracking.

The cracking actually occurred in the Inconel 600 side of the safe end-to-pipe weld.

The metallurgical work shows cracks growing radially from the pipe inner diameter and fanning lightly to the outer diameter. While there may have been some axial cracks, joint leakage was clearly a circumferential rather than an axial cracking phenomenon.

The primary difference between the PORV line phenomenon with respect to the instrumentation cracking both at Palisades and elsewhere is that the PROV line weld is a full butt weld and not a partial penetration weld, J-weld or fillet weld.

All of these types of welds will provide circumferential weld shrinkage and the resultant potential for axial cracks.

The instrumentation line welds, when shrinking axially, see little resistance or restraint to shrinkage from the instrumentation configuration. The instrumentation element is essentially free to be shrunk by the weld.

Very near the weld, there may be some axial compressive stress as noted in Reference (2).

However, this lack of axial restraint results in an essentially "plane stress" load environment.

EA-SC-93-087-0l 3

For the PORV line condition, the load environment is very different. The butt weld is through-thickness. Therefore, it can shrink the pipe side (or nozzle side) very efficiently. If the pipe side was free and the nozzle side was free during weld shrinkage, it would be very difficult to produce significant axial stress in the pipe or safe end as the pipe could deflect to accommodate the weld shrinkage much as the temperature element would.

However, during the field welding of the joint of concern, the nozzle end is fixed by the vessel.

The pipe end, while not as rigidly confined as the nozzle end, is well supported if only to support its weight. Therefore, the load environment in the area of the field weld is more akin to "plane strain" because axial movement of the pipe/nozzle is very limited. This constrained configuration permits the development of an axial residual stress field that simply could not have been achieved in the typical temperature instrumentation element configuration.

The design of the PORV line can result in high axial residual weld stresses if the fabrication process (to include welding) does not reduce them due to heat treatment etc. The joint fitup and root configuration can make the joint vulnerable to these residual stresses.

PALISADES TEMPERATURE NOZZLE MODIFICATION The modifications to the temperature instrumentation nozzles incorporate pressurizer pad-to-sleeve welds that are essentially the same as the existing J-welds as far as their impact on residual stress fields is concerned.

The new welds have the appearance of a fillet weld.. As noted, these welds are not as efficient as butt welds in inducing axial stress into the instrumentation nozzle.

For the modification where the nozzle is cut, the temperature element will be essentially free on either side of the exterior weld when the pipe is cut.

The cut may reduce axial residual weld stresses induced by the weld shrinkage with the restraint of the element by the inside J-weld.

With the cut, the above discussion applies directly with regard to the lack of a mechanism for developing residual axial stress (potentially leading to circumferential cracks).

For the modification where the nozzle is not cut, an axial residual stress field between the new weld (outside) and the J-weld (inside) may exist due to the existing restraint during the welding process.

No similar residual stress field will exist external to the new weld.

Therefore, an undesirable residual stre~s loading exists between the welds while all the axial operational loads (internal pressure) will be reacted by the new weld only.

While any potential axial residual tensile stress loading is undesirable, that resulting from the current modification is not of immediate concern.

The reasons are as follows:

There are essentially no externally applied mechanical loads to the nozzle The potential axial stress distribution from the modification will be new and will require time for the initiation and propagation of the cracks The potential axial stress between the welds would be totally self limiting as it is caused by stiffness (restraint) and any local cracking between the pressurizer inner and outer diameter would relieve the load which caused it to occur

EA-SC-93-087-01 Attachme:nt 9 4

CONCLUSION Joint configuration and the fabrication process combine to limit the impact of any deleterious effects of weld residual stress in the design of the temperature instrumentation nozzle modification. These considerations along with an awareness of the time limitation of the duty cycle for the joint combine to provide assurance that a catastrophic failure due to circumferential cracking will not occur.

ENCLOSURE 1 CONSTRUCTION CODE RECONCILIATION EA-SC-93-087-01 1 Page 2 of 8 FOR CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY

  • PALISADES PRESSURIZER UPPER AND LOWER TEMPERATURE NOZZLE REPAIR/MODIFICATION In accordance with the Owners Specification "Engineering Specification for a Pressurizer Assembly, CE Specification No. 70P*001, Revision 2," the original construction code for the Palisades Pressurizer is the 1965 Edition through the winter 1986 Addendum of Section Ill of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (herein after referred to as the Original Construction Code). The ASME Section XI p*rogram at Consumers Power is governed by the 1983 Edition through Summer '83 Addendum of Section XI (herein after referred to as the Section XI Code). This modification will be designed under ASME Section Ill rules and implemented under ASME Section XI, 1983 edition with Summer '83 Addenda.

Two instrumentation nozzles of (1.3) inch diameter located in the pressurizer require modification to prevent leak paths due to axial cracks in the nozzle base material.

The subject nozzles are temperature nozzles, one located in the top head end the other located In the lower shell of the Pressurizer. These nozzles provide a pressure boundary and structural support for thermowells and RTD devices. The nozzles will be modified by welding to prevent leakage of reactor coolant. The original nozzles will remain in place. The repair/modification activities will be dona in accordance with ASME Section XI Code and provides for a weld buildup on the vessel outside diameter CSE-93-382

EA-SC-93-087-01 1 Page 3 of 8 Page 2 (00) surface. No repair of the original nozzle attachment weld (partial penetration) on the inside of the vessel will be made. The weld buildup will be made to incorporate the nozzle OD surface and the OD surface of the Pressurizer to provide the aforementioned new pressure boundary.

After the temporary repair weld is completed, the top head temperature nozzle will be severed between the original weld and the temporary repair weld to allow thermal expansion during heatup end coo Id own during normal operations. This modification/weld buildup will become the vessel pressure boundary for each nozzle.

This modification involves a repair activity in accordance with the ASME Section XI 1983 Edition with Summer '83 Addenda. Article IWA-4120 states that repairs may be performed in accordance with 0 later editions of the Construction Code, or Section Ill, either in its entirety or portions thereor or the rules of Section XI, IWB-4000 for Class 1 Components may be use.d alternatively.

The Section XI Code (Article IWA-7210) specifies that replacements shall meet the requirements of the edition of the Construction Code to which the original component or part was constructed, unless the following alternative is adopted Article IWA* 7210 (cl:

"(c) Alternatively, replacements may meet all or portions of the requirements of later editions of the Construction Code, provided that the following r~quirements are met.

CSE*93*382

EA-SC-93-087-01 1 Page 4 of 8 Page 3 (i)

The requirements affecting the

design, fabrication and examination of the replacement are reconciled with the Owner's Specification.

(2)

Mechanical Interfaces, fits and tolerances that provide satisfactory performance are not changed by the later edition of the Construction Code.

(3)

Modified or altered designs are reconciled with the Owner's Specification through the Stress Analy1i1 Report; Design Report, or other suitable method which demonstrates the satisfactory use for the specified design and operating conditions, whichever is applicable.

(4)

Materials are compatible with the installation and system requirements *.

  • The discussion below addresses each of the requirements:

1.

Becyjrement

" ( 1) the requirements affecting the design, fabrication and examination of the replacement (modification) are reconciled with the Owner's Specification".

CSE-93-382

Discussion EA-SC-93-087-01 1 Page 5 of 8 Page 4 The Owner's Specification specifies the Original Construction Code as the i 965 Edition with Summer '66 Addendum of Section Ill of the ASME Code. The design, fabrication and examination requirements are 1pecifled In NB-30001, NB-40001, and NB-50001 respectively.

A comparison of each of these requirements is provided below:

Oesjgo The design of the modification is consistent with the Original Construction Code, i.e., the rules of NB-3000 (N-400). The "Requirements for Acceptability" (NB-3211} for the design are met for this modification in ABB/CE Engineering Calculation No. CR-9417

  • CSE93
  • 1121, Rav. 1, "Structural Analysis of Temperature Nozzle Weld Repairs For Consumers Power Palisades Pressurizer".

Eabrjcatjo.o There are no fabrication activities associated with this modification activity.

1The sections of the 1965 Coda for design are Article 4 (N-400), Article 5 (N-500) and Article 6 (N-600). The Articles correlate to NB-3000, NB*4000, and NB-5000 respectively in.current editions of Section lll.

CSE-93-382

Exemlnatlon EA-SC-93-087-01 1 Page 6 of 8 Page 5 The examination of the Replacement Nozzles is being performed under the 1986 edition of ASME Section Ill, NB-5000 which provides current Industry acceptance criteria. This criteria is at least as restrictive 111 the requirements in the 1965 ASME Section Ill.

In light of the above, the reQuirements affecting the design, fabrication and examination of this modification are considered reconciled with the Owner's Specification.

2.

Begyjrement

"(2) Mechanical interfaces, fits, and tolerances that provide satisfactory performance are not changed by the later Edition of the Construction Code."

pjscyssion Mechanical interfaces, fits, and tolerances are not changed by the use of Section XI.

3.

Requirement

  • (3) Modification or altered designs are reconciled with the Owner's Specification through the Stress Analysis Report, Design Report, or other suitable method which demonstrates the -satisfactory use for the specified design and operating conditions, whichever is applicable".

Ojscusslgn EA-SC-93-087-01 1 Page 7 of 8 Paga 6 The Design Report associated with this project is ABB/CE Engineering Calculation No. CR-941 7 - CSE93 - 1121,. Rev. 1, 11 Structural Analysis of Temperature Nozzle Weld Repairs for Consumer's Power Palisades Pressurizer*.

This design report has analyzed and found acceptable this specific modification for the specified design and operating conditions of the Owner's Specification.

The modified design is therefore reconciled with the Owner's Specification.

Bcgujrement 11 (4) Materials are compatible with the installation and system requirements".

Qjscyssjon The weld, pad is deposited with SFA 5. 11 ENiCrFe-3 welding electrodes as specified in ASME Section II, Part C. This filler material (F-43) Is compatible with both the alloy 600 (P43) nozzle and the vessel base material, SA-533 Grade B Class 1 for the top head nozzle and the A-1 O composition weld pad of the side shell nozzle.

The welding filler material, SFA 5. 11 ENiCrFe-3, conforms to the requirements of Section II and Ill 1986 Edition and is compatible with the materials being joined. This weld material (ENiCrFe-3) provides corrosion resistance in the primary water environment end meets the strength requirements for design under ASME Section Ill.

EA-SC-93-087-01 1 Page 8 of 8 Page 7 The repair welds will be made in accordance with the requiramants of IWA-4300 of Section XI.

Conc!uajcio The preceding discussions show the requirements for reconciliation to the Original Construction Code have been met for this modification.
