Executive Summary On January 31, 2012, during the first cycle after steam generator replacement, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Unit 3 was shut down due to indications of a steam generator tube leak. Steam generator tube inspections confirmed one small leak on one tube in one of the two steam generators.
Further inspections of 100% of the steam generator tubes in both Unit-3 steam generators discovered unexpected wear, including tube-to-tube as well as tube-to-tube-support structural wear.Tube wear was found in the tube free span sections, at anti-vibration bars (AVBs), at Tube Support Plates (TSPs) and at retainer bars, and was labeled as follows: (i) Type 1 (Tube-to-Tube Wear)(ii) Type 2 (AVB wear)(iii) Type 3 (TSP wear)(iv) Type 4 (Retainer bar wear)The cause of the first 3 types of tube wear is tube vibration.
The causes of tube vibration are the thermal-hydraulic conditions in the SG secondary side and the condition of the tube bundle supports.
Type 4 tube wear is due to vibration of the selected retainer bars, rather than the tubes.Structures in a two-phase flow field have lower resistance to vibration when the fluid void fraction (and hence steam quality) is high. High void fraction (high steam quality) results in the two-phase flow mixture having low density, which in turn results in a high velocity of the two-phase flow and in a low damping factor. Consequently, the dynamic pressure, which is a function of the flow velocity squared, increases.
As the dynamic pressure is a major factor causing the structures in the flow field to vibrate, it is more likely for the structures to vibrate when the void fraction (steam quality) is high .(as it affects both the flow velocity and the damping factors).Based on the investigation of the correlation between the void fraction (steam quality) and the number of tubes with wear in a given void fraction region, a strong correlation between the void fraction (steam quality) and the percentage of tubes with wear was identified.
Consequently, it is concluded that the thermal-hydraulic conditions in the SG secondary side, namely high void fraction (steam quality) and high flow velocity, along with lack of sufficient IA in-plane tube support, discussed next, are the main causes of the excessive tube vibration and unexpected wear in the SONGS Unit 2 and Unit 3 SGs. The higher than typical void fraction is a result of a very large and tightly packed tube bundle, particularly in the U-bend, MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 8 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version I ( J (P.9)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
At with high heat flux in the hot leg side.Contemporary experience shows that out-of-plane vibration of the SG U-tube is more likely to occur than in-plane vibration, because tube U-bend natural frequency in the out-of-plane direction is lower than natural frequency in the in-plane direction.
In the design stage, MHI assumed that the tube support in the out-of-plane direction with "zero" tube-to-AVB gap in hot condition was sufficient to prevent tube from becoming fluid-elastic unstable during operation.
But, the recent SONGS experience shows that the flat bar AVBs does not provide friction forces required to prevent tubes from vibrating in the in-plane direction and eventually becoming fluid-elastic unstable under high local secondary thermal-hydraulic conditions such as in the SONGS RSGs. In addition, MHI concludes that in the Unit-3 RSGs low tube and AVB fabrication dimensional dispersion causes that the tube-to-AVB contact forces are not sufficient to prevent the in-plane motion of tubes.In order to ensure the structural integrity of the tubes after restarting the plant, all tubes which have a potential for. losing their integrity during the next operating period should be plugged and thermal power output of the plant should be decreased.
Plugging for the Type 1 wear should include not only the tubes with the Type 1 wear but also tubes which are susceptible to the Type 1 wear, for preventative reasons. Plugging for the Type 2 and 3 wear should include the tubes with wear equal to, or greater.than, 35% in accordance with Technical Specifications.
Plugging for the Type 4 wear should include 94 tubes which are adjacent to the retainer bars.Decreasing the thermal power output will improve thermal-hydraulic conditions (will lower flow velocities and void fractions in the critical tube bundle U-bend region) and thus will reduce the possibility of the occurrence of tube fluid-elastic instability (FEI) leading to unacceptable tube wear.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 9 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version {( ] (P.10)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
At 1. Introduction After approximately 11 months of power operation following the steam generator replacement, SONGS Unit-3 underwent an unplanned shut down on Jan. 31, 2012 as a result of leakage of primary coolant to the secondary side from a tube in the 3B (3E-088) steam generator (SG).The maximum leakage rate was at approximately 82 gallon/day
(-13 liters/hour).
Subsequent investigation revealed that the direct cause of the leakage was tube-to-tube wear.At the time of the Unit-3 leak, SONGS Unit-2 had already completed one cycle of power operation
(-22 months) after the steam generator was replaced in the refueling outage since Jan. 9, 2012. Eddy-Current Testing (ECT) inspections were performed on all tubes in both Unit-3 SGs and wear indications on many of the tubes were found. This report presents the evaluation of the mechanistic cause of tube wear, and the countermeasures required for Unit-3 return to service.2. Summary of RSG Design for SONGS 2.1 Overall RSG Design The SONGS RSGs were specified, designed and fabricated as replacements on a like-for-like basis for the original steam generators in terms of fit, form and function with limited exceptions, and were replaced under the 10CFR50.59 rule. The CDS for the design and fabrication of the RSGs (S023-617-01, Revision 3) specified the limiting design parameters and materials.
Thus, replacement steam generator design with 3/4" tube diameter arranged in 1" triangular pitch, which was the same as in the original steam generators, and the larger heat transfer area than in the original steam generators, was optimal. The, other parameters/materials not specified by CDS were established/
selected in the design process. The SONGS RSGs were designed and fabricated to achieve an "effective zero gap" as required by CDS Rev. 3 in order to minimize its potential for tube wear. The CDS also states that the tube support/tube bundle assembly shall be fabricated such as to ensure no damage to the tubes and subsequent operation of the RSG with minimal vibration.

AO 2.2 Tube Bundle Design The major concern with the large U-tube SGs is their propensity for tube wear in the tube bundle U-bend region. Consequently, minimizing tube wear was given the first priority in the SONGS RSG specification, design and fabrication, and the tube support design and fabrication was discussed by MHI and SCE in numerous design review meetings.
As a result, the tube bundle U-bend support design and fabrication was as follows: 1) Six (6) V-shaped AVBs (three sets of two) were provided between each tube column.2) The AVB thickness was set such as to provide an effective "zero" tube-to-AVB gap under operating (hot) conditions.
- 3) The AVB end-caps were welded to the retaining bars with the U-bend in the gravity neutral position to achieve uniformity of the gap size and AVB parallelism, using spacers between the AVBs sized based on a mockup test.The tube bundle and AVB structure configuration and components (AVBs, retaining bars, bridges and retainer bars) are shown in Fig.2-1. MHI investigated field experience with U-bend tube degradation using INPO, NRC and NPE data bases, and concluded that tube wear in the operating U-tube SGs was mostly being caused by out-of-plane tube motion. Consistent with this and Reference 7, only out-of-plane vibration of the SG U-tubes was evaluated because tube U-bend natural frequency in the out-of-plane direction is lower than natural frequency in the in-plane direction and out-of-plane vibration is more likely to occur than in-plane vibration.
No SG problems stemming from in-plane tube motion were identified by MHI and thus MHI concluded that the design and fabrication processes described above were sufficient for minimizing tubewear in the SONGS RSGs.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 11 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version I ( ) (P.12)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

- 3. Description of Events 3.1 Unit-2 3.1.1. Abstract During the first refueling outage following steam generator replacement, ECT inspection of the unit 2 steam generator tubes identified a total of 10 tubes with wear depths of 28 to 90% of the tube wall thickness.
Six of the affected tubes were located adjacent to the retainer bars. The retainer bars are part of the floating anti-vibration bar (AVB) structure that supports the U-bend region of the tubes. The remaining tubes had detectable wear associated with AVB support points elsewhere in the AVB structure.
3.1.2. Sequence of Events Fall of 2009 The original Combustion Engineering (CE) SGs were replaced with MHI SGs during the Cycle 16 Refueling Outage.May, 2010 Unit 2 completed the Cycle 16 Refueling and Steam Generator Replacement outage and returned to service at nominal 100% reactor power.January 9, 2012 Unit 2 started the Cycle 17 Refueling Outage.February 5, 2012 Routine ECT inspections of the SGs identified wear indications greater than 35% at two tube locations adjacent to the retainer bars.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 13 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version I) (P.14)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
At 3.2 Unit-3 3.2.1. Abstract During the first cycle after steam generator replacement, on Jan.31, 2012, Unit 3 was shut down due to indication of a steam generator tube leak. Steam generator tube inspections confirmed one small leak on one tube in one of the two steam generators.
Continuing inspections of 100% of the steam generator tubes in both Unit-3 steam generators discovered unexpected wear, including tube-to-tube as well as tube-to-tube-support wear.3.2.2. Sequence of Events Fall, 2010 The original CE SGs were replaced with MHI SGs during the Cycle 16 Refueling Outage.February, 2011 Unit 3 completed the Cycle 16 Refueling and Steam Generator Replacement Outage and returned to service at nominal 100% reactor power.January 31, 2012 During 100% power operation, a high radiation alarm from the condenser air ejector line revealed a primary-to-secondary leak in a SG. SONGS operators responded by rapidly reducing power and then shutting down the plant.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 14 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 I Non-proprietarv Version I () (P.15)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

Ak 4.1.1. Types of Tube Wear Tube wear indications were found in the tube free span sections, AVB region and TSP region and were grouped into 4 types as follows: (i) Type 1 (TTW)Wear in the tube free-span sections between the AVBs located in the U-bend region. Most of the tubes with this type of wear have also wear indications at AVBs and TSPs. In this case, it is considered that the entire tube, including the straight leg, was vibrating excessively.
These tubes are shown in Fig.4.1.1-1.(ii) Type 2 (AVB wear)Wear at the tube-to-AVB intersections only with no wear indications in the tube free-span sections.
Some of these tubes have wear indications at the TSPs as well.In this case, it is considered that mainly the U-bend section of the tube was vibrating.
These tubes are shown in Fig.4.1.1-2.(iii) Type 3 (TSP wear)Wear at the tube-to-TSP intersections only in the straight section of the tubes. In this case, it is considered that only the straight section of the tube was vibrating.
The tubes with wear at TSPs without wear in the U-bend section are shown in Fig.4.1.1-3; the tubes with wear at TSPs and with wear in the U-bend section are shown in Fig. 4.1.1-4).(iv) Type 4 (RB wear)Wear at the AVB structure retainer bars in the tube U-bend section. These tubes have no wear indications in the free span, at AVBs or at TSPs. In this case, it is considered that the retainer bar itself was vibrating and the tube was not vibrating.
These tubes are shown in Fig.4.1.1-2 and in Appendix-1.

Observations Common to Unit-2 and Unit-3 The AVBs, end caps, and retainer bars were manufactured according to the design. It was confirmed that there were no significant gaps between the AVBs and tubes which might have contributed to excessive tube vibration because the AVBs appear to be virtually in contact with tubes as shown in Fig.4.2-1, Fg.4.2-2 and Fig.4.2-3.
ECT wear indications are identified as the Type 1 and Type 2 wear.4.2.2. Observations in Unit-3 Pattern 1 wear indicating high amplitude in-plane motion of the tube, as shown in Fig 4.2-2, was seen on the tubes with Type 1 wear. Pattern 2 wear, as shown in Fig 4.2-3, was seen on the tubes with the Type2 wear.4.2.3.

Ak 5. Mechanistic Cause Analysis The cause of the first 3 types of tube wear (i.e. TTW, AVB wear, TSP wear) is excessive tube vibration.
Generally, the causes of tube excessive vibration are the thermal-hydraulic operating conditions of the SG secondary side and lack of sufficient in-plane tube support for the tubes (condition of the tube supports in terms of their effectiveness; active versus inactive tube supports).The cause of the Type 4 tube wear (RB wear) is vibration of the retainer bar itself which is described in Section 6.5.1 Thermal Hydraulic Condition in the Secondary Side In general, structures in a two-phase flow field have lower resistance to vibration when a void fraction (percentage of vapor volume in a saturated mixture) or steam quality (percentage of vapor mass in a saturated mixture) is high. The high void fraction (steam quality) results in the two-phase fluid having a low density, which in turn results in an increase of the flow velocity of the two-phase fluid, and in a low damping factor. The increase of the flow velocity (v) causes the increase of the hydrodynamic pressure (pv 2) which causes structures to vibrate in-the flow field. The hydrodynamic pressure is a measure of energy imparted on the structure by the flow field, and damping is a measure of how easily the structure can dissipate this energy. If the amount of energy imparted on the structure is higher than the amount of energy dissipated, the structure (in this case the tubes) will vibrate with progressively increasing amplitudes, which eventually may lead to the tubes becoming fluid-elastic unstable.
Also, the unstable tubes will excite the surrounding tubes via two-way coupling with the fluid. Therefore, it is more likely for the tubes to vibrate when the void fraction (steam quality) is high.Fig.5.1-1 shows the results of the three-dimensional thermal hydraulic analysis of SONGS Unit-2 and 3 SGs (see Reference 5 for detail). This analysis was performed recently using the ATHOS computer code developed by EPRI. As can be seen from the void fraction profile, the highest void fraction is estimated to beI I (and the steam quality isj I), which is high compared to the I jvoid fraction (when steam quality is less thanI I) for the other SGs designed by MHI based on ATHOS computer code. The higher than typical void fraction is a result of a very large and tightly packed tube bundle, particularly in the U-bend, with high heat flux in the hot leg side. Because this high void fraction is a potentially major cause of the tube FEI, and consequently unexpected tube wear (as it affects both the flow velocity and the damping factors), the correlation between the void fraction (steam quality) and the number of tubes with wear in a given void fraction region was investigated.
From this investigation, a strong correlation between the void fraction (steam quality) and the percentage of tubes with the Type 1 and Type.2 wear was identified (see Fig.5.1-2 and Fig.5.1-4).
The correlation MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 57 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version I) (P.58)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
A&between flow velocity and the number of tubes with wear was also investigated.
The results show that when the flow velocity is high, the percentage of tubes with wear increases, even though this correlation is not as strong as that between the void fraction (steam quality) and the percentage of tubes with wear (see Fig.5.1-3 and Fig.5.1-5).
Consequently, it is concluded that the thermal-hydraulic conditions in the SG secondary side, namely high void fraction (steam quality) and high flow velocity along with lack of sufficient in-plane tube support, are the main causes of the excessive tube vibration and unexpected wear in the SONGS Unit 2 and Unit 3 RSGs.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES,, LTD.Page 58 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 I Non-proprietary Version I) (P.59)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

Out-of-Plane Direction Support The SONGS SG tube bundles were designed for out-of-plane U-bend support only with "zero" gaps in the hot condition.
Based on visual inspections, the tube-to-AVB gaps in cold condition were as could be expected, i.e., most likely meeting the design premise of "zero gap" in the hot condition.
The recent tube bundle deformation analysis (refer to Appenidx-8), which takes into account the tube and AVB dimensional fabrication tolerance dispersion, indicates that the contact forces between the tubes and AVBs produce the friction forces which prevent the distortion of the AVBstructure assembly and the dynamic pressure during operation does not increase the tube-to-AVB gaps (see Fig.5.7-3 and Fig.5.7-4f Appendix-8 for details).Therefore, MHI has concluded that U-bend support in the out-of-plane direction is adequate.5.2.2. In-Plane Direction Support By design, U-bend support in the in-plane direction was not provided for the SONGS SGs. In the design stage, MHI considered that the tube U-bend support in the out-of-plane direction designed for "zero" tube-to-AVB gap in hot condition was sufficient to prevent the tube from becoming fluid-elastic unstable during operation based on the MHI experiences and contemporary practice as described in Section 2.2.Secondary side thermal-hydraulic conditions in the SONGS SGs during operation appear to be such that the effective fluid flow velocities are higher than the critical velocities in the U-bend in-plane direction for several tubes in a particular region of the tube bundle where the void fraction is very high as described in Section 5.1.MHI concludes that under the secondary thermal-hydraulic conditions such as in the SONGS SGs, certain tube-to-AVB minimum contact force is required to prevent tubes from vibrating in the in-plane direction and eventually becoming fluid-elastic unstable.
Furthermore, MHI concludes that the tube and AVB fabrication dimensional tolerance dispersion results in contact forces between the tubes and AVBs, however, these forces are not sufficient to provide friction forces ample to prevent in-plane motion of the tubes (See reference 10 for details).MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 64 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version ( ) (P.65)Document No.L5-04GA564(9) 5.2.3. Differences between Unit-2 and Unit-3 According to the manufacturing dimensional tolerance analysis (refer to Appendix-4 and Appendix-9 for details), the average contact force in the Unit-3 SGs was found to be smaller than the average contact force in the Unit-2 SGs. Consequently, the contact forces caused by /9 the manufacturing dimensional variations in the Unit-2 SGs are more than two times larger than in the Unit-3 SGs, which is consistent with the tolerance analysis results shown in Fig.5.2.1.Therefore, it is concluded that the contact forces of Unit-3 were more likely to be insufficient to prevent the in-plane motion of tubes and the Unit-3 SGs were more susceptible to in-plane tube vibration.
The difference in the contact forces between the Unit-2 and Unit-3 SGs was caused by the manufacturing dimensional tolerance variations, mainly due to improvement of AVB dimensional control. For the Unit-3 AVBs, al ]pressing force was used for the AVB nose portion after bending in order to control the twist and flatness of the AVB more precisely, while I I pressing force was used for the Unit-2 AVBs.. Because the manufacturing dimensional variations of the Unit-2 SGs are larger than those of the Unit-3 SGs (AVB twist at I^AVB nose portion of Unit-2 is larger than that of Unit-3), the tube-to-AVB contact forces of the Unit-2 SGs are greater than those.in the Unit-3 SGs, especially at the AVB nose locations, which is evidenced by more ding signals in the Unit-2 SGs than in the Unit-3 SGs.A comparison of the Unit-2 and Unit-3 materials, fabrication processes and inspections that might have had an impact on the condition of the U-bend supports is summarized in Table 5.2-1 (refer to Appendix-4 for details) and the evaluations for the factors other than the difference in the AVB pressing forces are summarized below.(i) Number of Rotations due to Divider Plate Repair The Unit-3 SGs underwentl I more rotations than the Unit-2 SGs due to the divider plate repair. However, the change in the tube support condition between the Unit-3 and Unit-2 SGs due to the difference in number of rotations was found to be negligibly small (refer to Appendix-5 for details).(ii) Number of Hydrostatic Tests Primary side hydrostatic tests were performed three times for the 3A SG and two times for the 3B SG, compared to only one time for both 2A and 2B SGs. However, the change in the tube support condition between the Unit-3 and Unit-2 SGs due to the number of hydrostatic tests was found to be negligibly small (refer to Appendix-5 and 14 for details).MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 65 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version I ( 3 (P.66)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
Ar (iii) Dimensional Control of Tubes and AVBs The standard deviation of the AVB thickness, the tube outer diameter (G-value), and the number of adjustments to the tube bending radius was smaller in the Unit-3 SGs than in the Unit-2 SGs. Furthermore, the gaps between the outermost tubes and the AVBs are more uniform in the Unit-3 SGs than in the Unit-2 SGs. These findings indicate that the tube and AVB dimensions of the Unit-3 SGs are more uniform, and hence the reaction forces from tubes and AVBs are smaller than the Unit-2 SGs. Consequently, the contact forces caused by the manufacturing dimensional variations in the Unit-3 SGs are smaller than in the Unit-2 SGs, which is consistent with the tolerance analysis results shown in Fig:5.2-1.
The average of all gaps between the tubes in the outermost rows and AVBs along the retaining bars is smaller in the Unit-3 SGs than in the Unit-2 SGs. However, the gaps between the outer-most tubes and AVBs in the center columns do not have significant effect on the contact forces in the inside of the tube bundle and the main reason for this difference is the fact that the gaps in the outer-most rows of the peripheral columns in the Unit-2 SGs were larger than those in the Unit-3 SGs. The average of the gaps between the outermost tubes and AVBs in the center 60 columns (Column 59 to 119), where the wear indications were found, were essentially the same in the Unit-2 and Unit-3 SGs as shown in Fig.5.2-2.
Therefore, the difference of the contact forces between Unit-2 and Unit-3 is caused by the difference of the manufacturing dimensional tolerances other than the outer-most tube-to-AVB gaps.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 66 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version )( ) (P.67)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

- 6. Tube Wear Causes In general, there are 3 types of tube bundle vibration phenomena occurring in fluid environment (see Fig.6-1): (1) Vortex Shedding Vibration (vibration due to Karman vortex)In a single-phase flow when fluid is flowing perpendicularly to a tube, a pair of vortices, known as Karman vortices, will form periodically on the right and left side, and downstream of the tube. When the vortices move away from the tube surface periodically, the reaction forces created by them will cause the tube to vibrate. This phenomenon is called vortex shedding vibration.
The fluid flow across the SG tubes in the region of interest (U-bend region) is a two-phase flow with high void fraction (>I 1). Therefore, no Karman vortices are expected to form periodically downstream of the tube and no vortex shedding induced tube vibration is expected to occur. Empirical data confirms that vortex shedding vibration typically does not occur in two-phase flow environments where the void fraction is greater than 15%(see Reference 1).(2) Random Vibration Random vibration is a phenomenon where the tubes vibrate due to forces created by turbulent flow as a result of fluid velocity and density fluctuations.
Vibration amplitudes due to random vibration are generally small (smaller than those due to tube fluid-elastic instability).
(3) Fluid Elastic Instability (FEI)FEI is a phenomenon where the tubes vibrate with increasingly larger amplitudes due to the fluid effective flow velocity exceeding its specific limit (critical velocity) for a given tube and its supporting conditions and a given thermal hydraulic environment.
This occurs when the amount of energy imparted on the tube by the fluid is greater than the amount of energy that the tube can dissipate back to the fluid and to the supports.In the case when vibration occurs in a two-phase flow such as in the SG tube U-bend region, there is a possibility that it is either due to random vibration or FEI. Based upon the abovementioned study of vibration phenomena, the mechanism of each tube wear type is evaluated next based on the fault tree evaluations shown in Fig.6-2 and Fig.6-3.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 70 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 I Non-provrietarv Version I ( ,) (P.71)Document No.L5-04GA564(9) 6.1 Type 1 Wear (TTW)Based on the results from the rotating pancake coil ECT inspections and visual inspections, MHI concluded that the Type 1 wear (TTW) occurred due to tube in-plane motion (vibration) with a displacement (amplitude) greater than the distance between the tubes in the adjacent rows, resulting in tube-to-tube contact. Tube in-plane motion might have been caused by tube random vibration or FEI. Because the amplitude of random vibration is generally very small, the mechanistic cause of this type of wear is typically tube FEI (refer to Fig.6-1 for the difference between random vibration and FEI).U-tube out-of-plane direction is more susceptible to flow-induced excitation than the in-plane direction due to lower U-bend natural frequency in the out-of-plane direction.
U-tube FEI in the in-plane direction has never been observed in the U-tube SGs before its occurrence in the SONGS SGs. However, recent academic studies (Reference 2 and 3) report that FEI may also occur in the in-plane direction, if tube motion in the in-plane direction is possible (no tube in-plane supports or low tube contact forces with the out-of-plane supports, as concluded by MHI).As described in Section 5.1, the void fraction (steam quality) and the flow velocity are high in the SONGS SGs which means that their tubes are generally more susceptible to vibration.
Furthermore, the average tube-to-AVB contact force in the Unit-3 SGs is concluded to be smaller than in the Unit-2 SGs, as described in Section 5.2, which makes the Unit-3 tubes to be even more susceptible to vibration and likely to FEI. Therefore, MHI concludes that in-plane tube motion which caused the Type 1 wear was due to tube FEI. The wear at the AVBs and at TSPs on some of the tubes with the Type 1 wear is an additional effect of these tubes being unstable (refer to Fig.6.1-1).
6.2 Type 2 Wear (AVB wear)Based on the visual inspections, MHI concluded that the Type 2 wear occurred due to tube vibration which caused the tubes to wear against the AVBs at the tube-to-AVB intersections.
Tube wear at AVB intersections might have been caused by tube random vibration or FEI.However, because most likely there were no significant gaps between the tubes and AVBs during operation (see Section 5.2.1), the occurrence of tube motion due to FEI is very unlikely (refer to Appendix-3).
As described in Section 5.1, the SONGS SG tubes are susceptible to vibration (high void fractions and high flow velocities).
Therefore, MHI concludes that the tube MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 71 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version I ( ) (P.72)Document NoL5-04GA564(9) wear at AVB intersections, which caused the Type 2 wear, was due to the random vibration (refer to Fig.6.2-1).
The Type 1. and Type 2 wear are simulated in the tube wear analysis as shown in Appendix-1 0.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 72 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version )] (P.7) " Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
A&6.3 Type 3 Wear (TSP wear)The tubes with the Type 3 wear are located mostly near the TSP flow slots and at the periphery of the tube bundle where the velocities of cross-flow are high (refer Fig.6.3-1).
Tube vibration in cross-flow may be caused by tube random vibration or FEI. However, the size of the gap between the TSP tube hole land surface and the tube is limited (design size is! 1). Thus, the occurrence of tube FEI is unlikely.
Therefore, MHI concludes that the Type 3 wear is caused by cross-flow induced random vibration in the region where secondary fluid cross-flow velocities are high (refer Fig.6.3-2).
The results of the FEI and random vibration analysis are shown in Appendix-2.
6.4 Type 4 Wear (RB wear)The tubes with the Type 4 wear have no indications of TTW or AVB wear, or TSP wear, which suggests that it is caused by only the retainer bars vibrating.
SONGS SGs have two types of retainer bars, I Imm (1 1) in diameter andl Imm (1 1) in diameter.
Tube wear was found on the tubes adjacent to the retainer bars, but only at the smaller diameter retainer bars.The retainer bars with the smaller diameter have also a relatively long span as compared with the other SGs fabricated by MHI, which means that the natural frequency of these retainer bars is lower and thus they are more likely to vibrate. Therefore, MHI concludes that the Type 4 wear is caused by random vibration of the retainer bars induced by the secondary fluid exiting the tube bundle(see Reference 4 for details).MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 73 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 INon-proprietary Version j P.4 Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

AOk 7. Conclusions-In the Unit-3 SGs, the following types of wear were identified: (i) Type 1 (TTW)(ii) Type 2 (AVB wear)(iii) Type 3 (TSP wear)(iv) Type 4 (RB wear)The conclusions regarding mechanistic causes of tube wear are as follows:* The concluded mechanistic cause of the Type 1 wear is tube FEI in the tube bundle U-bend region, which is caused by a combination of the SG secondary side thermal-hydraulic conditions (high fluid velocity and high void fraction) and inactive AVB support conditions in the in-plane direction.
- The concluded mechanistic cause of the Type 2 and 3 wear is random vibration of the tubes. The Type 2 wear is caused by the tube motion due to high void fractions and 9 high flow velocities.
The Type 3 wear is caused by high velocity flow across the straight leg sections of the tubes." The concluded mechanistic cause of the Type 4 wear type-is vibration of the retainer bar, which is the same as in the Unit-2 SGs and is addressed in Reference 4.The tube-to-AVB contact forces of Unit-3 were more likely to be insufficient to prevent the in-plane motion of tubes and the Unit-3 SGs were more susceptible to in-plane tube vibration than Unit-2 SGs because the average contact force in the Unit-3 SGs was found to be smaller than the average contact force in the Unit-2 SGs. The difference in the contact forces between the Unit-2 and Unit-3 SGs was caused by the manufacturing dimensional tolerance variations, mainly due to improvement of AVB dimensional control.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 81 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-prorietary Version ]( ) (P.82)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
JAW 8. Countermeasures for Return to Service The following short term actions should be taken in support of Unit 3 return to service for a limited period of time (if possible)..In order to restore SONGS SGs' conformance to the CDS and make them capable of operating without time or reactor power level restrictions, more complex and involving actions (repairs) will be mandatory.
8.1 Tube Plugging Tubes which exhibit a potential for losing their integrity during the next operating period due to progressive through-wall wear and/or susceptibility to FEI should be plugged. The number of tubes plugged for each type of tube wear is listed in Table 8.1-1.8.1.1. Type 1 Wear All tubes with ECT tube wear indications in the free span section should be plugged regardless of the wear depth. Furthermore, tubes with wear indications at the AVB and TSP locations, which are similar to those on the tubes with the wear indication in the free span section, should be preventatively plugged.8.1.2. Type 2 Wear and Type 3 Wear Tubes with wear equal to, or greater than, 35% should be plugged in accordance with Technical Specifications.
8.1.3. Type 4 Wear Tubes with wear indications adjacent to the retainer bars should be plugged regardless of the wear depth.

AO 8.2 Operating at a Lower Thermal Power As described in Section 6, the major contributor to the tube wear phenomenon in the SONGS SGs is the secondary side thermal-hydraulic conditions in the tube bundle U-bend region of interest at 100% reactor power. The major parameters making these conditions unfavorable from the tube wear perspective are high secondary fluid flow velocities and high void fractions (steam quality).In general, decreasing the reactor power level will result in the fluid flow velocities and void fractions being lower, and hence tube margins to FEI being larger. Lowering the plant reactor power level to 70% is sufficient to decrease the fluid flow velocities and void fractions in the tube bundle region where tube wear, especially TTW, occurred during the previous operating period to the point at which the tubes remaining in service are not expected to become fluid elastic unstable, as shown in Fig. 8.2-1 (Details of the secondary side thermal-hydraulic conditions are described in Reference 5).The effects of area plugging and power level reduction were investigated in the case study for their impact on tube stability (Reference 6). The results of this study indicate that the changes in the bundle thermal-hydraulic parameters reduce the stability ratios (increase margins to FEI) of the analyzed tubes slightly, but the ratios are still greater than 1.0 at 100% reactor power and the number of consecutive inactive AVB support points being 6 or more. Because no credit can be taken for a change in the tube support condition, as no modifications to the AVB support structure are possible in the short term, only reduction in power level can produce a beneficial reduction of the stability ratio (increase of margin to FEI) for the tubes remaining in service (not plugged).MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 84 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 I Non-proprietary Version I ( ] (P.85)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

Ak 1. Purpose Tube-to-tube support plate (TSP) wears at tube straight portions are detected in SONGS-2/3 RSGs. It is possible that the cause of the wears is the fluid elastic instability (FEI) mechanism.
The purpose of study provided in appendix-2 is to evaluate the possibility of FEI of the tube straight portion, through the thermal and hydraulic calculations by ATHOS/SGAP computer code and vibration calculations by FIVATS computer code (The evaluation of random excitation mechanism is provided in Appendix-2A).
- 2. Conclusion In order to evaluate the possibility of FEI in the tube straight region- the stability ratios defined in Section 6 for representative tubes are calculated with assuming TSPs effective supports because the gap between the tube and TSP is enough small. The analysis predicts that FEI of tube straight portions is not possible in case that all TSPs supports are effective.
Thus, MHI concludes that the cause of tube-to-TSP wears in SONGS-2/3 RSGs is not due to FEI in the straight portion of tube due to the cross flow.Table 2-1 Stability ratio calculations summary Tube address Stability ratioM.Conservative case(**) Best estimated case Row 1 Column 1 Hot side Hot side Row 1 Column 13 Hot side Hot side Row 1 Column 89 Hot side Hot side Row 53 Column 57 Hot side Hot side Row 80 Column 74 Cold side Hot side Row 101 Column 29 Hot side Hot side Row 137 Column 77 Cold side Hot side (*) Stability ratio over 1.0 implies a probability of FEI (**) Critical factor (K=2.4) and damping ratio (h=1.5%) values are used.(***) The critical factor depending on the volume flow rate quality (R3)damping which consist of the structural damping, two-phase damping, damping is used.MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 92 of 474 S023-(is used.

Ak 6. Methodology 6.1 Fluid elastic instability 6.1.1 Basic equation of tube vibration analysis The term "fluid elastic instability" is generally used to refer to self-excited vibration of tube bundles due to cross flow. In 1969, Connors disclosed the presence of this phenomenon for the first time (Ref.24).Causes of fluid elastic instability are considered to be the absorption of flow energy due to the interaction of fluid and structure.
This phenomenon occurs on tube bundles, and is subjected to effects of tube bundle array. Thus, it is experimentally attempted to determine the criticality of occurrence in various tube bundle arrays.The critical flow velocity U. for generating fluid elastic instability is obtained in the following Connors' formula (Ref.24).
This formula is employed in the TEMA (Standards of the Tubular Exchanger Manufactures Association), which is the industrial design standard in the United States.vo Kl "1/2 U~ K[ T 2..............................................................(3).

(3) is evaluated in case of tube vibration of single degree of freedom system with uniform cross flow along the tube axis. In actual tube, however, the vibration of the tube supported by the tube support plate is multi degrees of freedom system with beam type of vibration modes. Therefore, considering the vibration mode and fluid distribution, the effective flow velocity U,, is evaluated in the following formula.Lp(X) U(x)2 (X)2 dx112 o .. ............................................. ...... .(4)fL (x) 2dx o o MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 113 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, RE%,.0 Non-proprietary Version )(P2-24)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

At 6.2. Critical factor and damping ratio It is considered that the ASME code provides the conservative critical factor and damping ratio for the low void fraction region such as the tube straight region (Conservative case). In order to calculate the more realistic stability ratio, we can use the best estimated critical factor and the damping factor.6.2.1 Conservative case K=2.4 of the critical factor and h=1.5 % of damping ratio are used as recommended in ASME Sec.lll Appendix N-1330 as a code calculation.
6.2.2 Best estimated case Best estimated values based on recent experiential data are used in this case as follow.6.2.2.1 Damping ratio The damping ratio is calculated as the sum of the structural damping.

Ak 6.5 Evaluation of fluid elastic instability 6.5.1 Selection of tubes to be evaluated The locations of Tube-to-TSP wear at tube straight portions detected in SONGS-2/3 RSGs are shown in Fig. 6.5-1 thorough 6.5-4. In all SGs, tube-to-TSP wear is present in many Row 1 tubes that border on the tube-free-lane.
In addition many of the tubes on the bundle periphery with large bend radii (i.e. Rows 131-142) of 2B-SG exhibit tube-to-TSP wear.Table 6.5-1 through Table 6.5-3 provides the maximum 10 tube wear depth in each SG. The tube-to-TSP wear distributions at each TSP elevation in each RSGs are provided in Appendix-2 Attachment-1.
Among Rowi tubes, the tube on the bundle periphery (Row 1 Column 1), the tube in column center region (RiC89), and the tube outside of the column region (R1C13) are selected for evaluation.
Note that R1C1 tube has the second deepest wear indication at the TSP.Among bundle periphery tubes, the tube which has the largest wear depth in peripheral tubes (R1 37C77) and the tube in the middle (R101C29) are selected for evaluation.
In the tube bundles, the tube which has the largest wear depth in all tubes (R80C74) and the tube in the middle of column (R53C57) are selected for evaluation.
As shown in Fig. 5-23, it is considered that the selected tubes cover wide range of tube bundle.In general, the tube is supported byAVBs so that the tube vibration in U-bend region does not have much effect on the tube vibration of the tube straight part. Thus, the tube vibration model simulating only tube straight part is used for the evaluation.

Ak 7. Results (1) Conservative case The vibration analysis results in case of conservative case (K=2.4, h=1.5%) are shown in Table 7-1 and Fig. 7-1 through 7-3. The maximum stability ratio is 0.67 for R1C1 tube in hot leg. Since the stability ratios are less than 1.0, the analyses imply no FEI occurrence of tube straight portion.Table 7-1 Stability ratio (conservative case)Tube Leg Mode Frequency Critical velocity Effective velocity Stability (Hz) (ft/s) (ft/s) ratio Row Column 1 1 COLD HOT 1 13 COLD HOT 1 89 COLD HOT"53 57 COLD HOT 80 74 COLD HOT 101 29 COLD HOT 137 77 COLD HOT J MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 132 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 I Non-proprietary Version I D(P.2-43)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)

Ak The vibration analysis results in case of refined case (K and h are calculated in detail) are shown in Table 7-3 and Fig. 7-4 through 7-6. The maximum stability ratio is [ ]for R1C89 tube in hot leg. Since the stability ratios are less than 1.0, the analyses imply no FEI occurrence of tube straight region.The tube inspection identified the largest tube-to-TSP wear at R80C74 at hot #3-TSP. On the other hand, the calculated stability ratio for R80C74 is [ ], which is not so large compared to the other tubes. In addition, the tube inspection identified the relatively large tube wear in Row1 tubes in cold leg. However, the stability ratios of Row1 tubes in cold side are smaller than those in hot side. It is evaluated that the stability ratio evaluation does not match the tube wear inspection results. Thus, MHI concludes that the cause of tube-to-TSP wears in SONGS-2/3 RSGs is not due to FEI in the straight portion of tube due to the cross flow.Table 7-3 Stability ratio (refined case)Tube Leg Mode Frequency Critical velocity Effective velocity Stability (Hz) (ft/s) (ft/s) ratio Row Column 1 1 COLD -HOT 1 13 COLD HOT 1 89 COLD HOT 53 57 COLD HOT 80 74 COLD HOT 101 29 COLD HOT 137 77 COLD HOT _MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Page 137 of 474 S023-617-1-M1538, REV. 0 Non-proprietary Version (D(P.2-48)Document No.L5-04GA564(9)
