The Phase 3 Sample Plan detailed herein reflects

1. Discussions held at the June 17, 2002 meeting in Lynchburg, Virginia between the NRC, FENOC, Framatome ANP, and BWXT.
2. Telephone conference between NRC, FENOC and Framatome ANP on July 15, 2002.

Sample Analyses Analyses will be performed on the following Sample IDs:

Sample ID Nozzle 2 Nozzle 3 Nozzle 3 Corrosion Area The task sequences for each individual piece are listed below in a logical fashion; however, tasks may be performed in parallel provided that the designated HOLD POINTS are complied with. With the exception of the tests bounded by the HOLD POINTS, no tasks require additional NRC or FENOC personnel concurrence to proceed.

1. Nozzle 2 (work completed)

(a) Perform a visual inspection and document with photographs.

Completed on 8/23/02; no obvious evidence of cracking observed. Photos were taken to document nozzle condition. Based on measurement, it was estimated that 5/8" was sectioned off the bottom of the nozzle during the removal at Davis Besse site.

(b) If necessary, decontaminate the nozzle and flange; collect loose corrosion products in a traceable plastic bag(s).

Decontamination was not necessary (c) Perform a visual inspection of the nozzle and document with macro photographs.

The proposed sectioning plan requires FENOC/NRC approval. FENOC/NRC's immediate response to the proposed sectioning plan is requested.

Proposed sectioning plan for 1" ring from end of nozzle #3 (Dated 09/03/02).

The majority of cracks will be sectioned out of the ring (cuts #R1-3). Also, after Cuts

  1. R1-2, the I.D. surface of the nozzle segment will be examined under SEM. Cut #R4, which is parallel to Cut #3, will be made transverse through the cracks (red line) and the two mirror surfaces will be mounted. This will permit observation of the cracks in two directions with further progressive grinding.

If cracking indication is found, STOP, obtain FENOC and NRC personnel concurrence for additional sectioning and testing plan for stereovisual inspections, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEMIEDS), and metallography.

(g) Section the 1" ring and prepare a metallographic specimen containing the full wall thickness. Etch the specimen and take micrographs of representative microstructures. Perform microhardness traverse across the wall thickness.

See (f).

3. Nozzle 3 Corrosion Area (a) The first mold of the cavity was successfully performed with FENOC and NRC personnel concurrence on June 14, 2002.

Complete on 06/14/02.

(b) The second mold of cavity (intended as a backup) was successfully performed with FENOC and NRC concurrence on June 27, 2002.

Complete on 06/27/02.

(c) A mold of the stainless cladding from the underside (RCS side) of the cavity was successfully performed with FENOC and NRC personnel concurrence on June 27, 2002.

Complete on 06/27/02.

(d) Make cuts #1, #2, and #3 as shown on Figure 1. All three cuts will be about 0.5" minimum outside the cavity walls. The resulting four pieces will be designated as Block A, B, C, and D. Block A contains the cavity; Blocks B and C are the "moon" pieces from cuts #1 and #2; Block D is from cut #3 and contains the CRDM Nozzle 11 bore and the remaining J-groove weld.

Completed on 8/23/02. NOTE: Cut #2 impinged approximately 1/16" into the side of the cavity, resulted in a small hole (1/22 to 3" dia.) on the cavity side wall. This is a 7 of 21

John R. McDade (630)252-5168 Fax (630)252-7367 jmcdade@anl.gov (h) Perform two tension tests on the stainless cladding removed from either "moon" piece (Block B or C). Remove both specimens from the same area, with one specimen being machined from the cladding near the carbon steel interface (top specimen), and the other specimen from the cladding near the surface in contact with RCS (bottom specimen). The cuts for both specimens shall be made perpendicular to the direction of travel of the cladding weld machine.

Nominal specimen dimensions in reduced area are 0.080" x 0.200" and are approximately 1.5" to 2.0" long. Perform both tensile tests at 600 OF.

Tensile specimens are removed from cladding in Block B. The tensile test date is scheduled for September 19, 2002 (see note* below). This notice is in accordance with notifying NRC/FENOC at least 5 business days in advance of the test date.

  • NRC/FENOC is advised to plan on coming to Lynchburg the day before and plan to leave late afternoon on the 19th at the earliest. The tensile test will take up a good portion of the day because of the heat up times involved.

The PT performed did reveal one axial crack indication on the J-groove weld bore surface (1800) and some circumferential crack indications on the J-groove weld un-machined undersurface (0-450) see above. However, the surface condition of the J-groove weld, especially the upper surface and the machined bore of the J-groove weld are not conducive to PT. Hence, it was decided to use the stereo microscope (up to X50) to completely scan the J-groove weld area. This led to the following new information to the PT indication, cracking indications not revealed by the PT, and cracking in the exposed stainless steel cladding top surface.

Axial crack near 1800 indications (not revealed by PT). Also see Figure 2(f) of 1" ring of Nozzle 3 axial cracking near 1800. These results suggest that axial cracking near 1800 on the Nozzle 3 may be only through the nozzle wall within the length covered by J-groove weld (It is also possible for axial crack to be through the nozzle wall below the J-weld).

The following proposed PT requires NRC/FENOC authorization and FENOC funding before it will be performed. NRC/FENOC's immediate actions are requested.

Proposed date (09/10/02)

(1) PT the cladding underside (RCS side), covering the entire underside area corresponding to the exposed cladding on the upperside. This will look for signs of any cracking on the underside or if any cracks on the upperside extending to the underside, creating a leak path. The attempt will be made to remove the white dots/marking with chemical solvent. Mechanical means of removing these dots or surface preparation will Not be used.

(2) PT the upperside of the cladding around the area of maximum deflection and to PT as much area as possible. However, the cavity edge will be excluded due to remaining overhang. This is to capture the extent of the cracking on the top side. However, substantial PT background noise due to the surface condition is expected based on prior experience with the J-groove weld PT. No surface preparation by mechanical means will be performed prior to PT.

Phase 3 Plan Rev. 07/15/02 Status report date 9/10/02 Besides the above, no other work has been performed or scheduled at this point.

HOLD POINT Obtain FENOC and NRC personnel concurrence before proceeding to the following items.

(k) Cut the upper portion of cavity in half by sectioning through the head in the Nozzle 3 bore to Nozzle 11 bore direction. Perform stereovisual inspections to determine locations for SEM/EDS and metallography samples.

(I) Cut the lower portion of the cavity (containing the exposed cladding) in half in the same manner as the previous step. Perform stereovisual inspections to determine locations for SEM/EDS, metallography and microhardness test samples.

Note: The cuts in Steps (k) and (I) will be numbered sequentially (such as Cuts #6 and #7) and illustrated in a sectioning plan (Phase 4?) for FENOC and NRC concurrence.

Control of Samples Currently, the three Sample IDs, i.e., CRDM Nozzle 2, CRDM Nozzle 3 and the Nozzle 3 Corrosion Area cutout (which includes the Nozzle 11 bore), are being stored at BWXT.

Traceability of the Sample IDs, and portions thereof, will be maintained. Each sample will be identified either by placing the sample identification on the sample itself or on a container or a plastic bag. Only one sample will be allowed in a container or in a plastic bag. The inventory of the samples and the specific location of each sample will be documented in a project logbook maintained by the vendor test facility.

HOLD POINT Prior to proceeding with the disposal of samples, the current status will be discussed with the NRC staff.

No samples or materials will be disposed of without FENOC authorization. Samples will 25 of 21

I Steven Long - Sample Phase 3 Sept 1O.doc Page 26 Phase 3 Plan Rev. 07/15/02 Status report date 9/10/02 be retained until released from quarantine.

Schedule Upon request, reasonable advance notice will be provided to allow NRC or FENOC personnel to have the opportunity to witness the actual testing (site-specific radiological worker training may be required).

A final report will be provided to FENOC approximately four weeks following completion of the laboratory work. This report will provide a detailed description of the material samples, a detailed description of the analytical techniques utilized, and the results.
