Dear t'lr.Engelken:
This is the final report on the successful disposition of the fabrication difficulties on the HNP-2 Containment Vessel.References 1 and 2 were interim status reports, describing the earlier actions in the repair of lamellar tears in the shell adjacent to two reinforcing ring attachments.
Reference 2 men-tioned two activities yet to be performed.
These were an engineering evatua-tion of a 1" x 2" indication and a final review of the" examination reports.The engineering evaluation in reference 3 (attached) describes the basis for the conclusion that the'.ndications found by ultrasonic examination following the first pneumatic test were not caused by the pneumatic test.The meeting requested by item 2 of reference 5 took place on August 26, and satisfactory documentation has been provided.The 1" x 2" indication wil b.because.it is the onl indication re-ma the use of Code Class o e~ance cr o~a.This acceptance criteria woul~require more engineering evaluation than had b..en provided by the contractor.
By removing this irdication, there is no need for the engineering evaluation, An examination and vacuum box test will be per-'i~df il~q i., 1W p~
t<r.R.H.Engelken Page 2 September 5, 1975 602-75-253 I A wrap-up of the documentation is being done as described in references 4 and 5 (attached), including correction of some inconsistencies.
We have a com ent (reference 4)for the examination of areas wher the*1d d l dd~<<'.A ig if!percentage of these areas have been examined without detection of lamellar tears'(reference 3 attached).
Because of personnel safet considerations, the.'ins e e areas and t e re a~r o e'" c e accomplished for several months when scaffoldin an-structson activities, As described in reference 3, the actions taken will assure that the vessel will not be subject to lamellar tearing from containment vessel leakage tests, normal operation, or design accident loading.A complete record of technical evaluations, meetings, repairs, examinations, and tests associated with the r'esolution'f, the, fabrication problem has been maintained and is.available for review.I , Ver'y truly yours,'I N.D.STRAND Assistant Director Generation

The purpose of this letter is to summariz in the repair of the er z.s to summarize events involved tainment vessel where the two i eve ope in the con-~ere e two pipe whip support girders are
'urns end Roe, Inc.Washington Public Power Supply.System Mr.M.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75, Page-2-attached.The details ef the lamellar tears are contained in the subject non-conformance reports.you'know, two cracks later identified as lamellar tears were found visually when the girder attachment welds were being cleaned preparatory to magnetic particle testing.Ultrasonic examination was used to confirm the extent of the tearing.'I This examination revealed a number of indications of possible additional lamellar tears imbedded in the shell plates.The.progress towards effecting acceptable repairs is described in references 1, 2 and 3.At the time reference 3 was written, the repairs were thought to be complete.A pneumatic test had been performed successfully, and PDM was in the process of conducting the ultrasonic examination to determine if lamellar tears recurred or if unacceptable flaw growth had'occurred.
The events since that.time are described below.The ultrasonic examination after the pneumatic test showed that the small tears surrounding the repairs made from the out-side did not grow in size.However, three previously unreported conditions were observed: a 2" long by 1" wide indication at the lower web of the upper'pipe whip support adjacent, to a scaffold bracket, and adjacent 10" long and 14" long areas of indications at the lower web of the lower pipe whip support.These conditions were described in reference 4.The remaining areas behind the attachment welds for the two pipe whip supports were found to be acceptable except that the areas behind scaffold brackets were not examined because they were inaccessible, and the areas repaired from the outside were not examined because they are immune to lamellar tearing being composed of weld metal through the full thickness of the shell plates.Detailed examination of the reports documenting this examination by our site personnel uncovered a number of in-adequacies and raised a number of questions.
Consequently, ref-erence 5 directed PDM to perform a UT inspection of the area behind the scaffold bracket next to the 2" by 1" indication zo confirm the size of this indication.
It further directed PDM to perform a UT inspection of all other areas that were urns on'd Roe, Inc.Nashington Public Power Supply System Mr.M.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75 Page-3-inaccessible for inspection because of brackets, etc.An amplified description of the"new" indications and an explanation of the use of the three UT procedures were also requested.
From further information supplied by PDM in reference 6 supplemented by phone conversations with the people involved, we learned the following additional information about the above conditions.
1.The 2" by 1" indication is behind a part.of the pipe whip support attachment weld that was not repaired.Xts location was marked in chalk by the inspector who performed the original ultrasonic survey to determine locations of dis-continuities.
His chal'k marks indicate that he observed something requiring further exploration, but he did not include whatever it was in his report (Hamill Testing Laboratory Report'01 of March 1 and 2, 1975)as a report-able indication.
Since the inspector was required to record only those indications with an amplitude greater than a stated amount at the prescribed high sensivitity, we assume this indication was unreported because it was of insufficient amplitude.
However, we cannot be'sure the omission was not inadvertent..
2.The two areas of indications at the lower'eb of the lower pipe whip support were at a location where'epairs had been.made from the inside.However,.the UT report for the original examination of these areas (Hamill Testing Laboratory Report 4002 dated March 12-16, 1975)shows no indications there.The repair resulted from"chasing" into this region a subsurface defect in the excavation of an adjacent repair.This extension to the repair, unfortunately, was not re-corded.Thus, when the inspector performed the UT examinati'on of the original repairs, he did not examine this region because he did not know it had been repaired.Et was not examined until after the pneumatic test.PDM decided that the two areas of indications at the lower pipe whip support were unacceptable.
The indications were removed and the areas were repaired and examined in accordance with the approved procedure.
Then, the pneumatic test was urns and Roc, Inc.Washington Public Power Supply System Mr.M.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75 Page-4-repeated.These areas were subjected to a soap solution test for leaks while the vessel was pressurized, and no leaks were found.The fdur attachment welds to the two pipe whip supports then were re-examined ultrasonically.
.No flaw growth was observed;no new indications were found PDM's attempt to examine the areas that were previously behind scaffolding brackets could not be fully carried out because of the impracticality of reaching certain areas after the scaffolding had been removed.Of 28 locations on the upper pipe whip support, they examined 19.Of the 28 on the lower pipe whip support, they examined only 4.Therefore, we instructed PDM to examine the remain-ing locations when the erection of the scaffolding for the installation of the insulation around the con'tainment vessel reaches a level that can be used for support.See reference 8.In addition,'eference 8 directed PDM to remove and repair the 2" by 1" indication when they can work from the scaffold-ing.This repair is to be examined along with the remaining previously inaccessible locations, and will be subjected to the vacuum box leak test, too.At this point.we would like to respond to the questions posed in your letter, reference 9.Question 1-Does the pneumatic test demonstrate that lamellar tearing will not occur under service stresses'nswer 1.1-The pneumatic test, performed.
at 115/o of design pressure, is a test for pressure integrity.
Like hydrostatic tests, it is not intended to duplicate the service conditions of seismic, thermal transient, or postulated accident load-ing to which the vessel may be subjected.
These other ser-vice loading conditions are justified by analysis.1.2-Tabulated below are the through-'thickness stresses at the upper and lower attachment welds of the upper pipe whip support for both pneumatic test and service loading conditions (Reference B6R, Calculation No.8.70.16.Book No.8.70-2):
Washington public Power Supply System Mr.M.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75 Page-5-Thx'ough-Thic'kness
~Tensile Stresses si Upper Weld Loading Condition Test Service 5 Weld Throat 554 1738 5 Conical Shell 571 1790 Lower Weld Test Service 626 670 481 515 These through-thickness stress levels are quite low for both ,pneumatic test and service loading conditions.
Their:,negligible magnitude may be compared to the specified 80,000 to 100,000 psi tensile strength (transverse direction, stand-ard corner test location)and to the through-thickness tensile strengths observed by Spaeder 1*on similar material: 70,000 to 80,000 psi.For completeness of presentation, it should be noted that a maximum service tending stress level of+41,707 psi, coin-cident with a through-thickness compressive stress of 775 psi, exists at the throat of the upper weld attachment.
The resulting total stress of 42,482 psi is within the 90%yield strength value of 43,128 psi.The bending component of stress is not considered as contributing to lamellar tearing since the pure bending stress results in zero net tension.(The value of 1738 psi is presented in the table above, since it represents a maximum through-thickness tensile stress;its corresponding bending stress 5 the weld throat is+38,250 psi).The through-thickness stress levels for both.pneumatic test and service loading conditions cannot be considered significant with respect to generating tears or propagating cracks.Question 2-Can applied stresses enlarge an area of incipient tearing or initiate tearing in, an area of high residual stress?Answer.2-The above discussion describes the service stresses in the through-thickness direction as a tiny fraction of the*Technical references are listed at the end of this letter-vms ood Roc.Inc.Washington Public Power Supply System'r.M'.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75 Page-6-strength in this direction and of insuffi'cient magnitude to be a credible cause of cracking or of crack extension...The case for their being additive to residual stresses.of near fracture intensity is discussed.
below.Where cracking occurred, one may conclude with validity that the true fracture stress (or true fracture strain)was generated locally.Such areas were repaired, and are now sound.But what of the areas that did not crack.Weren't they exposed to conditions almost,'as severe, and, since the vessel was not stress relieved,'aren'0 those conditions present even today?'he answer is yes, they must, have been exposed to conditions almost as severe as those that caused tearing;but no, those conditions are not as severe today.'n the intervening ,time, the plastic stresses and strains have relaxed to lower values and have been redistributed over larger volumes of metal thereby eliminating their potential for tearing.2 Th'is conclusion is supported by the two attached figures illustrating room temperature creep in a carbon steel and in type 3l0 stainless steel.The former steel is knosm to have low resistance to creep;the latter is known to have high resistance to creep.The carbon-manganese-silicon steel of the shell plates can be expected to resemble the carbon steel in creep resistance.
These data indicate that pea'k stresses after welding should have already experienced stain relaxation in creep well in excess to 0.0005 in/in.Most of the relaxation, occurred within hours of welding.Additional relaxation, especially for stresses in excess of the yield strength, will occur over the years.This 0.0005 value may be compared with the strain associated with the service stresses, less than 0.000l in./in.Thus, the action of the service stresses tending to open and extend an incipient lamellar tear or to.generate a new tear is less than the amount of relaxation that has occurred 4 Washington Public Power Supply System Mr.M.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75 Page-7-already.Those locations that may of cracking after welding or after more than they will ever be loaded to relax.have been on the verge repairing have relaxed again, and will continue Therefore, the service stresses are incapable of developing the fracture stress even when added to existing peak residual stresses.Question 3-WPPSS position that real flaw growth be sub-jected to engineering analysis.Answer 3-No flaw growth was observed.The"crack front" of the numerous small cracks surrounding all the repairs made from the outside was closely monitored.
They exhibited no growth after the first pneumatic test and no growth after the second penumatic test.The initial size of the 2" by 1" indication was not recorded before the first penumatic test, but its size after both pneumatic tests was recorded.No growth occurred during the second pneumatic test.The initial'izes of the two areas of indications that were removed after the first pneumatic test at the lower pipe whip support were not recorded so that no obser-vation of growth was possible.Question 4-Evaluation of"new" indications found in the shell after the pneumatic test.Answer 4-This concerns the 2" long by 1" wide ultrasonic.
indication at the lower web of the upper pipe whip support and the two adjacent areas of indications at the lower web of the lower pipe whip support.4.1-As noted above, the inspector's chal'k marks on.the vessel at the 2" by 1" indication indi.cate that he observed something requiring further exploration.
One reasonably may conclude that an ultrasonic indication was present at this location before the pneumatic test.Dr.W.E.Cooper, our consultant, had pointed out earlier that indications just under the reportable level and, therefore, not reported before the pneuma ic test, may grow slightly in amplitude during the test becoming reportablyThey would then show as new indications when in reality they represent only minor changes.This caution from Dr.Cooper was noted in
>vms and Roe, tnc.Washington Public Power Supply System Mr.N.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75 Page-8-reference 3.Later, Dr.Cooper commented on this again during the joint meeting in Waltham, Massachusetts on May 28, 1975.See Conference Notes 355, dated 5/28/75.Referring to the experience with the reactor pressure vessel at Pilgrim Station where an ultrasonic indication ,changed in amplitude from acceptable to a conditionally acceptable level.Dr.Cooper stated that the change was attributed to a very slight opening displacement of the discontinuity.'e said this displacement had been estimated at 10-7 inch, about one atom layer.The presence of the chalk marks from the initial examination lends credence to the conclusion that the 2" by 1" indication occurred in a similar manner.We note further that the extreme sensitivity used in the ultrasonic examination contributes to the variability of the results.Some of the indications reported by the Hamill inspector and not repaired could not befound by the.PDM inspector even though both were operating at the same sensitivity but at different times, for example.At this high level of sensitivity, consistent amplitude readings're virtually impossible even for the same operator and equipment at different times..Thus, the discovery of the 2" by 1" indication after the pneumatic test may not repre-sent.a really significant change.4;2-The known facts surrounding the two.indications found and repaired after the first pneumatic test are described above.No additional indications weze found after the second pneumatic test.~Summa With the planned repair of the 2" by 1" indication and the anticipated examination of the remaining areas that were previously I behind scaffolding brackets without further incident, the accept-ability of the repair will have been demonstrated.
The lamellar tears have been'emoved and replaced with s'ound weld metal in accordance with approved procedures.
Some additional tears were produced'in the process;and they were removed and replaced with sound weld metal.These subsequent repairs have small tears Urn@end Roc!, Inc.Washington Public Power Supply System Mr.M.E.Witherspoon 8/20/75 Page,-9-around their edges.These imperfections were investigated and found to be acceptable.
Close observation of them has shown they did not grow during two pneumatic tests.A small 2" by l" indication was found after the first pneumatic test.It appears to be a discontinuity that intensified'during the first pneumatic test by a process that was known to exist so that its amplitude.after the pneumatic test was above the reportable level when examined at the.high sensitivity.
While it might seem to be a new discontinuity, a more likely explanation is that it is a minor modification of a pre-existing condition.
This discontinuity did not grow during the second pneumatic test.Nevertheless, it.will be repaired.Two other indications found after the first pneumatic test were repaired, and the adequacy of this repair was verified by a second pneumatic test.The likelihood that these indications were generated during the first pneumatic test is remote because the stress in the-through-thickness direction is.only a few hundred psi;while the strength is known (from other work)to be 70,000 to 80,000 psi, and, even when added to peak residual stresses, is incapable of developing the fracture stress.A more likely explanation is that they were present.before the pneumatic test having been associated with a repair that was not examined ultrasonically because of a known failure of h communication.
In conclusion, pending completion of the remaining work with-our further incident we consider the lamellar tears to have been repaired acceptably, and the occurrence of additional tears in the future to be impossible.
We have reviewed this matter with our consultant, Dr.W.E.Cooper, and he concurs with these conclusions.
We will advise you on completion of the remaining UT measure-ments and repair of the 2" by l" indication.

In-depth review of the document package you submitted on the subject HCR s has revealed some inconsistencies and insufficiencies.
Therefore, PDN is directed to take the following actions: 1.'rovide a final ultransonic report, readable and understandable, with-out reference to previously submitted documents and correspondence, understandable to a technicality qualified person unfamiliar with the problem.The report should be complete except for the local areas yet to be examined.We feel this report can be prepared from data already recorded.It should indlude the following:
1.1 A report format similar to that used in the Hamill Testing Laboratory Report Ho.001, 002, and 003.1.2 Charts of the four circumferential welds involved showing the areas examined;the location of reportable but acceptable indications, if any;the location of areas not examined, the reason these areas were not examined.1.3 Tabulations of reportable indications in each of the four cir-cumferential welds showing Size, depth, amplitude, and footage locations for all reportable indications in accordance with the approved procedures.
1.4 The charts and tabulations called for in 1.2 and 1.3 should include indications found during the July 28, 1975, examination.
In accordance with previous agreements, the individual indications surrounding the repairs made from the outside of the vessel need Over ThirtY Five Years of Engineering Achievement tSburgh-Des tloines Steel Company~air of Containment Vessel.'-213-00058, 00059 8, 00060 August 18, 1975 Page 2 not be tabulated, but their footage locations should be shown on the charts and tables along with your report with respect to their growth.The report should state also whether the examination covered shell plate only or shell plate plus weld.-metal.1.5 An explanation for why each of the reportable indications is considered acceptable.
Arrange a PDl'L-BKP.-WPPSS meeting after September 10, to discuss addi-tional information needed to provide convincing answers to questions , related to the indications that were observed for the first time after the first pneumatic test.At this meeting, we also want you to de-scribe how the ultrasonic indications were evaluated; that is, the basis for your determination of which indications required repair and which did not.He hope we can agree upon written statements for PON to transmit'o Burns and Roe.3.tlhen the scaffolding for the installation of the insulation around the containment vessel reaches a level that can be used for support, remove and repair the 2" X 1" indication in the lower web of the upper pipe whip support in accordance with the approved procedure.
Mhen this repair is complete, it should be examined ultrasonically when the inspection called for by the above referenced letter is performed.
The repair should be examined by the vacuum box method, too.Submit a report on these examin'ations similar to and as an addendum to the report described in l.Yery truly yours,.D.Wilson.Site Manager JDt!:KF:sl

Dear Nr.Engelken:
This letter is to advise you that as discussed with L.E.Vorderbrueggen of your staff on Friday, July 25, the final report on the repair of the WNP-2 lamellar tears will be delayed.No new problems have arisen and no further physical work on the vessel is contemplated.
One possible exception to this could be removal of the 1N x 2" indication.
Removal of this indication will not be precluded by other construction activities until early next year.The delay is due to a longer than anticipated time to assemble the various facets of the repair program in a clear, concise manner and perform UT examination of areas that were covered by scaffold brackets.The contractor has been directed to examine these areas and is scheduled to perform this examination on July 28, 1975.
Nr.R.H.Engelken Page 2 July 28, 1975 G02-75-213 The attachment identifies activities that are to occur prior to forwarding the final report.The Architect-Engineer, Burns and Roe, Inc., has advised that based upon the examination being performed on July 28 and assuming it does not reveal any new indications, they could finalize their letter'o us on August 15.Accordingly, it is anticipated that the final report on the repair program will be forwarded to you by August 30, 1975.Yery truly yours, I//, N.0.STRAND Assistant Director Generation and Technology NOS:JCth:lm

G02-75-72, HWPFSS Nuclear Project No.2 (Docket 50-397)Fabrication Difficulties, Steel Containment Vessel", J.J.Stein to R.H.Engelken dated March 7, 1975.
Dear Mr.Engelken:
The purpose of this letter is to forward additional information on the fabrication difficulties experienced on the reinforcing ring attachment to the WNP-2 containment vessel and to summarize the progr ess toward resolution of the difficulties.
Reference 1 reported the existence of lamellar tears in the containment vessel shell at the location of the main steam relief valve platform support ring attachment.
Subsequently, the shell at, the attachment of the lower pipe whip support that is of construction similar to the main steam relief valve platform was examined (re 1).The examination revealed the presence of eleven lamellar tears varying from 2 inches to 13'i 1 gt d~60" m.Repair of the lamellar tears was made from the inside of the vessel with a repair procedure that consisted of: (1)preheating the shell to 200 F and the reinforcing ring*to 300oF, (2)thermal gouging and grinding to remove the lamellar tear indication, (3)magnetic particle examination to*The term reinforcing ring will be used henceforth for both the main steam relief valve platform support ring and the pipe whip support ring.
Mr.R.H.Engelken Page 2-June 23, 1975 G02-75-178 assure removal of the lamellar tear, (4)building the shell plate back to the'riginal plate surface by welding, (5)ultrasonic examin'ation to assure sound-ness of the shell plate repair and shell plate, (6)reweld>ng the reinforcing ring to the shell, maintaining a 300oF minimum interpass temperature, (7)heating to between 350oF and 400oF after completion of welding, maintaining for two hours, and then slowly cooling to ambient temperature, and (8)performing a UT examination of the repaired area to detect recurrence of lamellar tearing or the presence of other rejecgable defects.Upon UT examination of the completed repairs, indications immediately behind (deeper in the shell plate)some of the"repair areas were found.(See Figures 2 and 3 for a more complete description of the original tears and indicat>ons
'l)ehind the repairs).These defects were also removed and repaired using the.same repair procedure as'or the lamellar tears.The repairs were made from the outside surface of the vessel shell and>Iere extended to a depth that tied into the weld repairs made from the inside LsSee Fi ure 4 for a more complete description).
This resulted in a weld deposit through the thickness of the vessel shell that distributes residual and load stresses into the shell parent plate material iri a shear mode rather than tensile mode.Upon UT examination of the repairs made from the outside of the vessel, a different type of indication was found around the periphery of the repair welds.These indications were different than both the lamellar tears and indications behind the repair areas made from the inside., The new indications did not lay behind the weld, but began at the edge of the weld and extended a short distance into the parent material.They were located all around the per iphery of the welds as shown in Figure 5.Since these were not the same type indications as had been repaired, an eva'luation was made by Pittsburgh Des Moines and Burns 8 Roe to determine the type of defects, their cause, and their effect on the integrity of the vessel.This evaluation consisted 0'f A section of material was removed from the vessel and sent to U.S.Steel, the material supplier, for their evaluation.
By metallurgical examination, these indications were determined to be of the lamellar tearing type.Since the indications were small, were in a plane parallel to the surface of the plate, were tied together at the end by sound weld metal, and were not located in the zone of high residual through-thickness tensile stress, they were determined not to be detrimental to the serviceability of the vessel by both Pittsburgh Des Moines and Burns 8 Roe.This evaluation was concurred with by Or.'William Cooper, of Teledyne Materials Research, whom Burns 5 Roe, the Architect-Engineer, retained as a consultant (see Attachments 1 and 2).The defects were examined before and after the ASME Section III 115K design pressure pneumatic test and comparison of size was made to determine if defect growth had occurred during the pneumatic test.UT examination after the first"pneumatic test determined that there had been no growth of the indications Mr.R.H.Engelken Page 3 June 23, 1975 G02-75-178 around the periphery of the repair welds, but indications were detected on the lower reinforcing ring behind an area repaired from the inside and an indication was detected on the upper reinforcing ring near a repair (see Attachment 4}.These indications were similar to those found earlier p d f 1 id,b within the area of indications.
The indications on the lower reinforcing r ing were removed, repaired, the vessel pneumatically tested a second time, and again ultrasonic examined with no new indications or growth of the existing acceptable indications.
Attachment 3 shows the extent of the repairs made in the areas exhibiting i g.Ultrasonic Examination All ultrasonic examination used to determine the extent of lamellar tears and to monitor for new or changing indications was performed to an ultrasonic procedure which has a much higher sensitivity than required by ASME Section III.The indications identified around the periphery of the repair welds made from the outside by the sensitive UT procedure are not recordable indications when examined with a UT procedure for weld material in accordance with ASME Code.)Prior to the first pneumatic test run (on May 30, 31 and June 1,)the only indications in the shell opposite the four reinforcing ring attachment welds were around the periphery of the weld repairs.made from the outside of the vessel.Priorto the second pneumatic test (run on June 6, 7 and 8)the same indica-tions around the repair areas made from the outside, plus indications of the.,'ame nature around the last repair area and the indication.
on the upper ring,'inhere present.All four bands were again UT examined after the second pneumatic test.The indications had not grown nor had new indications occurred during the second pneumatic test.~Summa r The fabrication difficulties are being successfully resolved.Throughout the repair and evaluations, the assistance of technical experts has been retained, in that Dr.William Cooper of Teledyne Materials Research has been consultant to Burns 5 Roe, and Drs.William Love'nd Albert Kobyachi have been mechanical consultants to Washington Public Power Supply System to assist us in evaluating the actions and conclusions of Pittsburgh Des-Moines and Burns 8 Roe.All repair, examination and test has been performed, as a minimum, in accor-dance with the requirements of ASME Section III and Appendix B of 10CFR50.They were performed not only on the basis of what actions were necessary to satisfy~.'he requirements of the ASME Code Section III, but were also directed toward assuring the vessel's capability to perform its intended function.
Nr.R.H.Engelken Page 4 V d June 23, 1975 G02-7 5-178 Presently, the ultrasonic examination reports are being reviewed for complete-ness and an engineering evaluation of the indication revealed following the first pneumatic test, is being made.It is anticipated that'a final report on the repair of the lamellad tears viill be forwarded on July 28th.Attached for your information are the significant documents developed for the resolution of this fabrication problem.If you have any questions or desire further information, please so advise.Yery truly yours,'W,d'N.0.STRAND, Assistant Director Generation and Technology P,~I NOS:JCH:ho'ttachments:

-.Des hioines Steel Company letter PDMBR-213-75-19, with its enclosures.
Attachment A: Detailed Comments-Burns.anc'.Roe Stress Analysis Review of PD:I Re-vision Number B.Xn the enclosures to the Subject PDN lette PDN has presented Revision Numbe B (Section XV, Subsection 5, Article 3, Pages 10 through 13B), xihich reclines the stress intens'ty evaluation performed for the conical shell in the region'of the upper pipe whip support ring (El.542-'7~")i.'as well as the.support.ring itself.Additionally, as part of Revision Number B, in Pages 288 through 296, PDhl has presented a refined analysis of the support.ring.welds.
The Burns and Roe stress analysis review of the above-'mentioned enclosures verify that tne e-vised stress intensities for the conical shell, support ring, and~fields meet the reauirements of 4'PPSS Specification for Primary Containment Vessel-s Contract No.213, which includes compliance with the AShK-Section XXX Code for Class hlC Components.
Although the Burns and Roe stress analysis xevi<<w will require tha't PDhl mal;e ce"tain modifi-cation to th<<ir revised stress intens'ies, and calculated weld str<<sses, these modifications are of a minor nature which will result in minor changes C:o their stress analysis calculations.
Detailed comm<<nts r<<ulting from the Burns and Ro<<..tress analysi i<<vic', i" e p'vidcd in Lh<<Att 1cil:i:Qll to thi memorandum.
Th<<c co:;~icnt hould b<<trans-mitted to PDH for their resolution.
HH HO RERAN.UM April ll, 3,975 BURNS and'OE, Xnc.Sheet 2 of.2 A separate enclosure to the Subject PDM letter includes an analysis of.the induced.train in the conical shell during fi'eld erection to close a 3-inch gap between the conical shell and'uppo t r'ng.study of, this analysis reveals tnat the induced stra'n is highly sensit've to the assumed arc angle of sepaŽatbetween the shell and ring.Xf ihe 90o arc angle, assumed'by PDM,, were halved to 45o, the induced strain would in-cxease by a factor of 5'.PDYi should provide a more detailed description of the field erection procedure which would relapse to the ac'tual arc angle of separation between shell and ring.Additionally, PDlI should'scertain the actual radial jacking'oad applied in order to judge if it is con-sistent with the'r assumed analytical model and evalu-ation of induced strain in the shell.~~4 S.Planzenbaum/J.

Lamellar tearing should not be conf.ised with laminations in plate material."Steel may b counted upon to Jeforn iocally parallel to thc rolling direction and, if d"formed enoug!>, to i ed\stv'i"vtlcn 0>t!'o:ot cps;n suci'I a way i>iat Uli~and transverse br-:.iig about a i ocr, 1'i c"i stressed a.eas refuse to a.cc:t additional lo".d<<nd'.rg r.:ateiial to s!:are in tl:.load transfer.In the call upon surrnun"-t!iru-hickocss Hr.J.il.Byrnes l~aoag'er of projects Burns;nd Roe, Inc.Harch lQ, 1975 Page 2 I)~I;~~~~di rection, strairs in excess of the yield point may cause decohesion
'and lead to a lamellar, tear."A.lamellar tear occurs only in the base metal and whi1e it may originate close to the toe or root of a weld, often the tear may originate veil outsid the HAZ'and may not propagate to the surface.The cross-section of a lamellar tear is step-like, with longitudinal terraces'hat.ar markedly longer than the transverse portions.The fracture has a fibrous appearance and this characteristic, along with th terraced pro,i le and location v!ithin tile base material away from the weld fusion line, is the best way'-of distinguishing the lamellar tear from HAZ cracks caused by.hydrogen.'Under cond'.tions of high restraint, localized strains due to weld metal shrinkage can be many tim s higher than yield points strains, whereas stresses due to design loa(i." are 901y a f1 ac~ion of yield point thus the strains due to applied loads are not of primary concern in causing 1am liar te~>ing.tlo cases are known of lamellar tears being initiated by design loads."Investigation by the Task Group revealed lail'ellar tearing.o be a complex phenom non involving several variables.
Treatmert of any singular variable without considerat'.on of other effects would be of little value.The initiation or suscepability to lamellar tearing is related to material properti.s, nonmetallic inclusion content, v!eld joint design and v!elding practice." This Task Group, which reports to the Subgroup on Fabrication and Examination'f the Subcommittee on tluclear Po':;e , has the obje tive"to develop reco..:.'..
nda-tions to prevent lamellar tearing in restrained we1ded joints, v!i h the present: investigation limit.d to carbon and low a1loy steels."

The lamellar tearing problem has become a common one in recent years, possibly because of improved examination techniques.
l!ost of the pre ent research, US and foreign, is directed at identifying th basic m chanisms involved and to the developm nt of m.chanical or nond-structive test'echniqu s for establishing the susceptibility to tearing of a qiven material.Beyond the facts that the tearing initiates at non-metallic inclusions and propagates by microvoid coalescence at temperatures of about 400'F as a result of strains caused by v.eld shrinkage, there is little ag)ment as to either the m chanism or ho:.'o measure susceptibility.

A meeting was held at TllR on htay 28, 1975 fo.the purposes of revie:;ing the resvlts OT the subject 1'epail opelc"tion,'including a discussion o.the'natuve and signif'.cance of certain ult:rasonic discontinuities present after completion of the planned repair.The"meeting,was attended by'.PPSS, Buln" and Roe, PDli and TjiR personnel.

Following completion of the planned repair, an ultrasonic examination was performed at additional.
(+20dB)gain, similar to that applied in establishing the material to be removed for the planned repair.This examination revealed s.all UT discontinuities in the base metal be-tween the outer surface of the vessel and the-repair weld.It was decided to remove the suspect material, worl:ing from the outer sur-face, and to weld repair tliese regions.Folio.!ino co;.;pleticn o this additional repair, th high-gain UT examination was repeated.The result was ihat addi~".onal discontinuities were id ntified a'round the periph ry of each of these outer surface repairs in base material'hich had been examined previously and in v!hich there were no such discontinuities.
These indications lie in the plane of the plate, are 1/4 T to 3/4 T from the outer surface, and extend away from the weld for a distarce generally between 1/8" and 1/4" and no'more than 1/2".A portion of tho plate was removed and subjected to metallographic examiration by US Steel and hami 11.POll will prepare a summary report on this aspect.If these new discontinuities are de med to be of negligible structural significance, the pneumatic test!!ould be conducted and an additional-
'igh-gain UT xa.!ination p rformed in accordance with presently established
'plans.Assuming that no.significant change in the UT results i!as experienced, the repair would be consioered to have been accomplished.
DISCUSSIO."l Item 3 of the above listing was the main topic for discussio!i at the meeting.The technical details will be documented elsewhere and are!:ot repeated he!e.As a sur:;rary of the discussion:
1.The inclusion level of the plate is not a!iolr!al, as i!idicat=.d by macioscopic and microscopic (100X)metallograoi.:;
and by ul'ra-sonic trans:::issibiliiy.
There are short, isola;cd non-m tallic inclusions 0!i s vc!al planes with>>no indication of g!oss seg!ega-tion and lalainar discontinuity.
2.The indications lie in the plane of the plate, and are short, and~aC several depths.llicroscopic examination reveals ovalization of the initially,)lanar discontinuities and cracl;ing betw en some of the closely adjacent inclusions.
In that sense the cracl'ing is of a lamellar t~.",~e.The overall pattern seems to he the result of both heat and shrin!:age stress causing a broadening and connecting of'.the original inclusions with resulting amplification of the UT signal into the ro;.ortable range.~1)%I+q~va'*~f I tP'/It 0 h h
.-'t~jr.J..0.Byrnes l<anager of l'rojects BUrns 5 Po , Inc.flay 28, 1975 Page 3 3.The presence of'hese new discontinuities at the'periphery of all repairs made from the outer surface indicates that this p:.vticul~r
~type of discontinuity is not repairable, since further at";-.;p's at repair would just establish new discontinuities at tne new repair periphery.
4, The discontinuities are in the central region of the plate, wher>>the bending stresses':Ihich are of r::est significance are s".aller~than at the surface, and the discontir,uities are bordered oh ore'side by<<eld rr, tal, providing shear continuity.
5.Changes in the ultrasonic pattern from the present to the time following the pneumatic test are to b expected as a result of the riatural variables of the UT.test, but are not expected to be~significant.
Specifically,, the indi'cated size would not be expected to vary by more than about 1/4,"..COlsCLUSIO)lS Based upon the above discussion, and assuming that subsequent documenta-tion does not result in new inforvation, it is our opinion that the new UT discont',nuities are of negligible structural significance.
Therefore,<<e Oould reco-:,"end acceptance of the PDil vecovvendation to pvoceed with pr,e.-..a~ic testing and subseque)lt UT examination in acco.dance with previously establish d procedures.

WPPSS NUCLEAR PROJECT NO.'2 (DOCKET 50-397)FABRICATION DIFFICULTIES, STEEL CONTAINtiENT VESSEL
Dear ttr.Engelken:
The purpose of this letter is-to advance information to you regarding the nature of the fabrication difficulties being experienced in the attachment of the main steam relief valve platform support ring to the WNP-2 steel containment vessel under construction by Pittsburg-Des Moines (PDM).It is our'position that these fabrication problems are not classed as a deficiency reportable under the provisions of paragraph 50.55(e)of 10 CFR 50.The following summary of findings and progress in the.examination of this problem are presented for your review:-'), The basic problem is the presence of what appears to be"lamellar.'ears" in containment vessel plate adjacent to the weld attaching the large Nbox-girderH which is the support ring.(The configuration is provided as Attachment 1 to this letter).2)These tears were detected in the course of routine inspection, recorded and reported to the appropriate Engineering and guality Assurance , organizations for disposition in accordance with the procedures of the PDH, Burns 8 Roe and WPPSS guality Assurance Programs.3)The extent of these"tears" can He sunJIIarized as follows: a)Two tears on the top, 8'-78 and 7'-4H long, and one 2'ong on the bottom were detected visually in preparation for routine magnetic particle testing.
Mr.R.-H.Engelken Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 March 7, 1975 602-75-72 I 3)continued:
b)There was one 6" indication on the top and approximately 21 other indications opposite the bottom weld which were detected in the course of 100/.ultrasonic testing of remaining weld zones on top and bottom.These indications range from 1/4" to 40" in length.4)Me have directed Burns 8 Roe, the Architect-Engineer and Construction Manager, to do whatever is required to resolve this problem as expeditiously as possible.The actions to date consist of: a)An evaluation of the characteristics of a sample of metal from the tear area by Anamet Laboratories Inc., and the U.S.Steel Research Laboratory (see Attachment 2)which have'stablished the conformance of the material to the specification; no defects in the material adjacent to the fracture, and a conclusion by the PDM Chief Melding Engineer that a"lamellar tear of a restrained joint" had occurred.Morking with this as a preliminary diagnosis, an evaluation of the evidence by the Burns and Roe metallurgist resulted in a concurrence with this opinion...b)A separate evaluation of fabrication techniques and any signifi-cant fabrication stresses is being conducted by PDH and Burns 5 Roe.This evaluation has not yet been finalized.
c)PDM has prepared a repair pro'cedure in accordance with the require-ments of Section III of the ASHE Code and obtained the approval of the Authorized Inspector (Factory Mutual Engineering), Burns 8 Roe and plans to proceed with defect removal of the first of the tears.~....To further summarize Burns&Roe and PDM findings at the present, this~'ppears to be related to the combination of the heavy section of the material and the geometry involved.'his problem was considered in the design of the weld geometry by PDM, and further review of design and fabrication technique is underway to establish the cause of the tears and determine repairs and/or modifications required to complete an approved containment vessel.Me will keep you informed of further developments.
