Enclosure Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Proposed Relief Requests for the Fourth ISllntervaIISI-RR-04 and ISI-RR-10 ISI- RR-04, (HNP, Unit 2) ASME Code,Section XI, Examination Category B-J, Dissimilar Metal Pressure Retaining Welds in Piping NPS 4 or Larger Circumferential Weld NRCRAI For Weld 2B21-1FW-12AA-8:
- 1. What is the weld metal?
- 2. What is the Generic Letter 88-01 category of this weld?
- 3. Please discuss the susceptibility of this weld to Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking.
- 4. The NRC staff acknowledges that the weld overlay was applied prior to the Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Section 50.55a mandated implementation of Appendix VIII, and that the subject welds has been mitigated by the mechanical stress improvement process. However, the significant lack of creditable coverage for Appendix VIII examinations as a result of the licensee's decision to stop the overlay at the toe of the weld concerns the staff. Please discuss whether plans are in place to increase the creditable coverage of this weld by means such as extending the overlay or performing a Supplement 11 qualification demonstration on a site-specific mockup and if not, then why not?
SNC Response
- 1. Weld 2B21-1 FW-12AA-8 joins an Inconel600 Safe End Extension to a Carbon Steel Transition Piece using Inconel 182 weld material. This is shown on page E-3.
- 2. The Generic Letter 88-01 category of weld 2B21-1 FW -12AA-8 is Category C.
This is due to the weld material not being made of Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC) resistant material, and the weld has been given a stress improvement (SI) after more than two years of operation. The weld received a mechanical stress improvement process (MSIP) in 1994.
- 3. Per the NRC staff positions in Generic Letter 88-01, carbon steel is considered resistant to IGSCC, while Inconel 82 is the only nickel base alloy considered to be resistant to IGSCC. Therefore, MSIP was used to reduce the susceptibility of the Inconel portions of this weldment to IGSCC.
- 4. Due to the significant lack of coverage for Appendix VIII examinations, this weld is scheduled to receive an overlay prior to the end of the 4th Inservice Inspection Interval which ends December 31 , 2015.

Enclosure Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Proposed Relief Requests for the Fourth lSI Interval ISI-RR-04 and ISI-RR-1O 151- RR-10, (HNP, Unit 2) ASME Code,Section XI, Examination Category B-F, Pressure Retaining Dissimilar Metal Welds in Vessel Nozzle-to Safe End Welds NPS 4 or Larger NRC RAI In the response to the NRC's Request for Additional Information, it was noted that two subsurface, circumferentially oriented, planar flaws were detected in Weld 2E21-1CS 10A-21 and one subsurface, circumferentially oriented, planar flaw was detected in weld 2E21-1 CS-1 OB-20. Please describe how these flaws were determined to be subsurface.
Is there a reinspection plan in place for these welds? Also, please explain how it is that weld shrinkage created the exact same examination limitation on two different welds.
SNC Response
- 1. SNC is aware of previous examination issues in the industry where only the upper portion of a flaw was detected during an examination and was evaluated as a subsurface flaw. Subsequently, after further weld preparation and re-examination, it was determined that the flaw was actually connected to the inside surface. This situation occurred at Hatch on a recirculation inlet nozzle-to-safe end weld during the same 2009 outage in which the subject Core Spray welds were examined. However, for the Core Spray welds, the automated phased-array display clearly showed that no flaws are closer than 1/4" to the inside surface. Prior to the Core Spray weld examinations, the weld crowns were removed and the only examination interference was from shrinkage at the downstream toe of the welds. A review of the data sheets indicates that there was no interference during the examination of the welds for circumferentially-oriented flaws; therefore, the circumferentially-oriented indications were determined to be subsurface.
- 2. These flaws were evaluated as subsurface and acceptable in size. Therefore, there are no plans to re-inspect these welds per IWB-2420(b).
- 3. These Core Spray welds are both safe end-to-nozzle welds (Train A and B) that have essentially the same configuration. Therefore, the weld shrinkage area causing the limitation was in the same location.
