1. INTRODUCTION This report describes the results of the examination of the first capsule of the Florida Power Corporation's Crystal River Unit 3 reactor vessel surveil-4 lance program. The capsule was removed and examined after the first year of cperation. (Capsule removed during March 1978 outage.) l1 The objective of the program is to monitor the effects of neutron irradiation on the tensile and impact properties of reactor pressure vessel materials under cetual operating conditions. The' surveillance program for Crystal River Unit 3 was designed and furnished by Babcock & Wilcox as described in BAW-10100A.1 The program was designed in accordance with the requirements of Appendix H to 10 CFR Part 50 and ASTM specification E185-73 and was planned to monitor the offects of neutron irradiation on the reactor vessel material for the 40-year design life of the reactor pressure vessel. The future operating limitations sstabl'ished after the evaluation of the surveillance capsule are also in ac-cordance with the requirement of 10 CFR 50, Appendixes G and H. The recom-mended operating period w:s extended to eight effective full power years as a result of the first capsule evaluation.

2. BACKGROUND The ability of the reactor pressure vessel to resist fracture is the primary factor in ensuring the safety of the primary system in light water cooled re-actors. The beltline region of the reactor vessel is the most critical region of the vessel because it is exposed to neutron irradiation. The general ef-facts of fast neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of such low-alloy ferritic steels as SA533, Grade B, used in the fabrication of the Crystal River River Unit 3 reactor vessel are well characterized and documented in the liters-ture. The low-alloy ferritic steels used in the beltline region of reactor ves-
  • sels exhibit an increase in ultimate and yield strength properties with a corre-sponding decrease in ductility after irradiation. In reactor pressure vessel steels, the most serious mechanical property change is the increase in tempera-ture for the transition from brittle to ductile fracture accompanied by a re-duction in the upper shelf impact toughness.

Appendix G to 10 CFR 50, " Fracture Toughness Requirements," specifies minimum fracture toughness requirements for the ferritic materials of the pressure-retaining components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) of water-cooled power reactors and provides specific guidelines for determining the pressure-temperature limitations on operation of the RCPB. The toughness and cperational requirements are specified to provide adequate safety margins i during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational ~ occurrences and system hydrostatic tests, to which the pressure boundary may be subjected over its service lifetime. A1'though the requirements of Appendix G to 10 CFR 50 became effective on August 13, 1973, the requirements are ap-t f plicable to all boiling and pressurised water-cooled nuclear power reactors, including those under construction or in operation on the effective date. Appendix H to 10 CFR 50, " Reactor Vessel Materiale Surveillance Program Re-quirements," defines the material surveillance program required to monitor i changes in the fracture toughness properties of ferritic materials in the re-I cetor vessel beltline region of water-cooled reactors resulting from exposure 2-1 Babcock &Wilcox

to neutron irradiation and the thermal environment. Fracture toughness test data are obtained from material specimens withdrawn periodically from the re-actor vessel. These data will permit determination of the conditions under which the vessel can be operated with adequate safety margins against fracture throughout its service life.

A method for guarding against brittle fracture in reactor pressure vessels is described in Appendix C to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III. This method utilizes fracture mechanics concepts and the reference nil-ductility temperature RTg which is defined as the greater of the drop weight nil-ductility transition temperature (per ASTM E-208) or the temperature that is 60F below that at which the material exhibits 50 ft-lb and 35 mils lateral expansion. The RT g of a given material is used to index that material to a reference stress intensity factor curve (K curve), which appears in IR Appendix G of ASME Section III. The K IR """" " "*# "" I"*"'

  • static, and crack arrest fracture toughness results obtained from several heats of pressure vessel steel. When a given material is indexed to the KIR """*'

allowable stress intensity factors can be obtained for this material as a func-tion of temperature. Allowable operating limits can then be determined using these allowable stress intensity factors. The RT ET and, in turn, the operating limits of a nuclear power plant, can be 1 adjusted to account for the effects of radiation on the properties of the re-actor vessel materials. The radiation embrittlement and the resultant changes in mechanical properties of a given pressure vessel steel can be monitored by a j surveillance program in which a surveillance capsule containing prepared speci-mens of the reactor vessel materials is periodically removed f rou the operating nuclear reactor and the specimens tested. The increase in the charpy V-notch 50-ft-lb temperature, or the increase in the 35 mils of lateral expansion ten-perature, whichever results in the larger t'emperature shift due to irradiation, is added to the original RT to adjust it for radiation embrittlement. This ET adjusted RT "" ET is used to index the material to the KIR """** * '" ' '" is used to. set operating limits for the nuclear power plant. These new limits take into account the effect's of irradiation on the reactor vessel materials. 2-2 8abcock & Wilcox

3. SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The surveillance program comprises six surveillance capsules designed to moni-tor the effects of neutron and thermal environment on the materials of the re-cctor pressure vessel core region. The capsules, which were inserted into the reactor vessel before initial plant startup, were positioned inside the reactor l vessel between the thermal shield and the vessel wall at the locations shown in

! Figure 3-1. The six capsules, placed two in each holder tube, are positioned l near the peak axial and azimuthal neutron flux. BAW-10100A includes a full de-ceription of capsule locations and design.1 Capsule CR3-B was removed during the first refueling shutdown of Crystal River Unit 3. This capsule contained Charpy V-notch impact and tensile specimens fcbricated of SA533, Grade B Class 1, weld metal, and weld metal compact f rac-ture specimens. The specimen contained in the capsule are described in Table 3-1, and the chemistry and heat treatment of the surveillance material in cap-Cule CR-3B are described in Table 3-2. All test specimens were machined from the 1/4-thickness location of the plates. Charpy V-notch and tensile specimens from the vessel material were oriented" with their longitudinal axes parallel to the principal rolling direction of the plate; specimens were also oriented transverse to the principal rolling direction. Capsule CR3-B contained dosimeter wires, described as follows: Dosimeter wire Shieldina U-Al alloy Cd-Ag alloy Np-Al alloy Cd-Ag alloy Nichal Cd-Ag alloy 0.56 wt % Co-Al alloy Cd 0.56 wt % Co-Al alloy None Te None 3-1 Babcock & Wilcox

Thermal monitors of low-melting eutectic alloys were included in the capsule. The eutectic alloys and their melting points are as follows: Alloy Melting point, F 90% Pb, 5% Ag, 5% Sn 558 97.5% Pb, 2.5% Ag 580 97.5% Pb, 1.5% Ag, 1.0% Sn 588 Lead 621 Cadmium 610 Table 3-1.

4. PREIRRADIATION TESTS l

i Unirradiated material was evaluated for two purposes: (1) to establish a base-line of data to which irradiated properties data could be referenced, and (2) to determine those materials properties to the extent practical from available material, as required for compliance with Appendixes G and H to 10 CFR 50. 4.1. Tensile Tests Tensile specimens were fabricated from the reactor vessel she?.1 course plate l cnd weld metal. The subsize specimens were 4.25 inches long with a reduced section 1.750 inches long by 0.357 inch in diameter. They were tested on a 55,000-lb-load capacity universal test machine at a crosshead speed of 0.050 inch per minute. A 4-pole extension device with a strain gaged extensometer was used to determine the 0.2% yield point. Test conditions were in accordance with the applicable requirements of ASTM A370-72. For esch material type and/ l cr condition, six specimens in groups of three were tested at both room tem- ! perature and 580F. The tension-compression load cell used had a certified cecuracy of better than ! 0.5% of full scale (25,000 lb). All test data for the prairradiation tensile specimens are given in Appendix B. 4.2. Impact Tests l l Charpy V-notch impact tests were conducted in accordance with the requirements l cf ASTM Standard Methods A370-72 and E23-72 on an impact tester certified to meet Watertown standards. Test specimena were of the Charpy V-notch type, which were nominally 0.394 inch square and 2.165 inches long. l Prior to testing, specimens were tesqperature-controlled in liquid immersion baths, capable of covering the temperature range from -85 to +550F. Specimens were removed from the baths and positioned in the test frame anvil with tongs specifically designed for the purpose. The pendulun (hammer) was, released manually, allowing the specimens to be broken within 5 seconds from their re-j moval from the temperature baths. i 4-1 Babcock & Wilcox

Impact test data for the unirradiated baseline reference materials are present-ed in Appendix C. Tables C-1 through C-5 contain the basis data which are plotted in Figures C-1 through C-5. 4.3. Compact Fracture Tests The compact fracture specimens fabricated from the weld metal, which were a part of the capsule specimen inventory, were not tested because of the lack of a recognized testing procedure. These specimens will be kept in bonded storage until an acceptable test procedure is developed. The,results of the testing of these specimens will be the subject of a separate report. 4-2 Babcock & Wilcox

5. POST-IRRADIATION TESTS ,

5.1. Thermal Monitors Surveillance capsule CR3-B contained three temperature monitor holder tubes, ecch containing five fusible alloys with different melting points ranging from 558 to 621F. All the thermal monitors at 558 and 580F had melted, while those - at 588, 610, and 621F remained in their original configuration as initially placed in the capsule. From these data it was concluded that the irradiated . . . specimens had been exposed to a maximum temperature in the range of 580 to _ less than 588F during the reactor vessel operating period. There appeared to be no significant temperature gradient along the capsule length. . jg - M 5.2. Tensile Test Results The results of the post-irradiation tensile tests are presented in Table 5-1. Tests were performed on specimens at both room temperature and 580F using the same test procedures and techniques used to test the unirradiated specimens (section 4.1). In general, the ultimate strength and yield strength of the material increased slightly with a corresponding slight decrease in ductility; both effects were the result of neutron radiation damage. The type of behavior observed and the degree to which the material properties changed is within the renge of changes to be expected for the radiation environment to which the cpecimens were exposed. m The results of the preirradiation tensile tests are presented in Appendix B.

6. NEUIRON DOSIMETRY s

6.1. Introduction = n A significant aspect of the surveillance program is to provide a correlation j between the neutron fluence above 1 MeV and the radiation-induced property

                                                                                              =4 changes noted in the surveillance speci:nen. To permit such a correlation,                     _

activation detectors with reaction thresholds in the energy range of interest were placed in each surveillance capsule. The properties of interest for the detectors are given in Table 6-1.

                                                                                              }

Because of a long half life of 30 years and an effective energy range of >0.5 i MeV, only the measurements of 187 Cs production from fission reactions in 237 Np i and 2:s U are directly applicable to analytical determinations of fast neutron 4 (E>l MeV) fluence during cycle 1. The other dosimeter reactions are useful as N corroborating data for shorter time intervals and/or higher energy fluxes. $ Short-lived isotope activities are representative of reactor conditions over the latter portion of the irradiation period (full cycle) only; whereas re- 7 actions with a high threshold energy do not record a significant part of the =J total fast flux. jR _ = The energy-dependent neutron flux is not directly available from activation detectors because the dosimeters record only the integrated effect of the neu-  ; tron flux on the target material as a functica of both irradiation time and neutron energy. To obtain an accurate estimate of the average neutron flux , incident upon the detector, the following parameters must be known: the oper- E cting history of the reactor, the energy response of the given detector, and ] the neutron spectrum at the detector location. Of these parameters, the defi- 3 nition of the neutron spectrum is the most difficult to obtain. Essentially, j two means are available to obtain the spectrum: iterative unfolding of experi-mental foil data and analytical methods. Due to a lack of suf ficient threshold 35 1 foil detectors satisfying both the threshold energy and half-life requirements tecessary for a surveillance pronram, iterative unfoldin'g could not be used. 1 This leaves the specification of the neutron spectrtan to the analytical method.

6.2. Analytical Approach Energy-dependent neutron fluxes at the detector locations were determined by a discrete ordinates solution of the Boltzmann Transport equation with the two-dimensional code, DOT 35.2 The CR3 reactor was modelled from the core out to the primary concrete shield in R-theta geometry (based on a plan view along the core midplane and one-eighth core symmetry in the azimuthal dimension). Also included was an explicit model of a holder tube and capsule assembly at the proper location. The CR3-B capsule was positioned 201.84 cm from the core center and 26.9* off-axis. The reactor model contained the following regions: core, liner, bypass coolant, core barrel, inlet coolant, thermal shield, pres-sure vessel, cavity, and primary concrete shield. Input parameters to the code included a pin by pin time-averaged power distribution, CASK 23E 22-group microscopic neutron cross sections,3 Se order of angular quadrature, and Ps expansion of the scattering cross section matrix. Because of computer storage limitations, it was necessary to use two geometric models to cover the distance from core to primary shield. A boundary source output from the initial model A (core through inlet coolant region) was used to " bootstrap" a model B, which included the capsule. Any " shadowing" effect of the pressure vessel .by the capsule was determined by running a third model, which represented the model B region of the reactor but without the capsule assembly. Flux output from the DOT 35 calculations required only an axial distribution adj ustment . Thus, fluxes were multiplied by an axial shape factor to account for the capsule elevation. CR3-B was in an upper location which extends from the core midplane upward about 60 cm. This factor was 1.19 for the capsule po-sition and 1.22 for the maximum location on the pressure vessel surface. The calculation described above provides the neutron flux as a function of energy at the detector position. These calculated data are used in the follow-ing equations to obtain the calculated activities used for comparison with the experimental values. The basic equation" for the activity D (in pCi/gm) is given as follows: M -A t Dg = Ai 3 x 10" i E [Fj n(E)HE) j=1 (1-e g d)e-AI(T-t$) (6-1) 6-2 Babcock & Wilcox _ ________ ______________-___:___ _ _ _ _ _ - _ = _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ .

6. 3. Results Calculated activities are compared to dosimeter measurements in Table 6-2.

The fission wire data indicate about a 20% overprediction of fast flux (E > 1 MeV) by the analytical model described herein; non-fission wires showed a 30% overprediction. Several f actors which could account for this variance - capsule location, reaction cross section spectrum weighting, and measurement techniques - are presently under investigation. Additional dosimetry measure-ments (not reported here") corroborated the overprediction bias of the analyt- l1 ical-to-measured flux comparison. A safety factor of 1.1 was included in the fluence calculations to provide conservatism in the activity measurements (and therefore capsule and vessel fluence). 6-3 Babcock & Wilcox

Revisicn 1 (6/30/82) Based on a normalization constant of 0.81, an average fast flux for cycle 1 was calculated at the capsule location and the inside surface of the pressure vessel wall. The data (Table 6-4) were converted to fast fluence values of 1.05 x 10" n/cm2 at the capsule center and 2.83 x 10 " n/cm2 at the pressure vessel wall for 268.8 days of cycle 1 at the full power rating of 2452 MWt. l1 Values calculated for the pressure vessel wall (inside surface) refer to the maximum flux, which may be located at a different asinuthal and axial position than the surveillance capsule. In this analysis, the maximum fluence at the pressure vessel occurred at an asinuthal position 7' from a major axis (cap-sule located at 26.9*) and about 190 cm above the lower active fuel line. This is a function of power distribution in the core. The effect of extend-ing the flux range dow to 0.1 MeV was to approximately double the fluence at the capsule and the pressure vessel. Since the same normalization factor of 0.81 is used, additional uncertainty is introduced in this result because none of the dosimeter reactions are effective over this entire energy range. Based on the surveillance sample analysis for cycle 1, fuel management calcu-lations for reload cores through cycle 5, and estimated future fuel cycles, pressure vessel t'luence was predicted up to 32 EFPY (effective full-power years) of operation. These data, which are listed in Table 6-5, are based on the proportionality of vessel fast flux to calculated core leakage flux I for cycles IB through 5. Fuel cycle 5 was assumed to represent an equilibrium , cycle for post-cycle operation. This prediction procedure is described in reference 4. 6.4. Summary of Results

1. Calculated activities for fuel cycle 1 exceeded measured activities by 20 to 30%. For the flux range of greater than 1 MeV, a normalising con-stant of 0.81 was selected for application to analytical fast flux pre-dictions near the pressure vessel wall. *
2. Average fast fluence at the capsule location was 1.05 x 10 " n/ cat (E > 1 MeV) after 268.8 days of the first fuel cycle. The maximum value at the pressure vessel wall was calculated to be 2.8 x 10" n/cm8 .
3. Extension of the flux range to E > 0.1 MeV tended to approximately double the calculated fluence values.

4 Based on specimen locations within the capsule, the specific fluence was determined for each group of materials (Table 6-6). I 6-4 Babcock & Wilcos

7. DISCUSSION OF CAPSULE RESULTS .

7.1. Preirradiation Property Data A review of the unirradiated properties of the reactor vessel core belt region i indicated no significant deviation from expected properties except in the case i of the upper shelf properties of the veld metal. Based on the predicted end-of-service peak neutron fluence value at the 1/4T vessel wall location and the copper content of this weld, it is predicted that the end-of-service Charpy upper shelf energy (USE) will be below 50 ft-lb. This weld was selected for . inclusion in the surveillance program in accordance with the criteria in ef-fect at the time the program was designed for Crystal River Unit 3. The ap-plicable selection criterion was based on the unirradiated properties only. 7.2. Irradiated Property Data 7.2.1. Tensile Properties Table 7-1 compares irradiated and unirradiated tensile properties. At both room temperature and elevated temperature, the ultimate and yield strength changes in the base metal as a result of irradiation and the corresponding changes in ductility are negligible. There appears to be some strengthening, as indicated by increases in ultimate and yield strength and similar decreases - in ductility properties. All changes observed in the base metal are such as . . to be considered within acceptable limits. The changes at both room tempera- g -Q

a. .~

ture and 580F in the properties of the base metal are greater than those ob- h;)..if served for the weld metal, indicating a gr' ester sensitivity of the base metal id / [d au .. to irradiation damage. In either case, the changes in tensile properties are i.p d, insignificant relative to the analysis of the reactor vessel materials at this .v} o%;

l . the observed changes in irradiated Charpy impact properties with the predicted changes as shown in Figures 7-1 through 7-3. The 50-f t-lb transition temperature shif t for the base metal was in good agree-ment with the shift that would be predicted according to Regulatory Guide 1.99. The less-than-ideal comparison may be attributed to the spread in the data of the unirradiated material combined with a minimum of data points to establish the irradiated curve. Under these conditions, the comparison indicates that the estimating curves in RG 1.99 for medium-copper materials and at low fluence

  • 1evels are reasonably accurate for predicting the 50-f t-lb transition tempera-ture shifts.

The 30-ft-lb transition temperature shift for the base metal is not in as good agreement with the value predicted according to Regulatory Guide 1.99, although it would be expected that these values would exhibit better comparison when it is considered that a major portion of the data used to develop Regulatory Guide 1.99 was taken at the 30-ft-lb temperature. The increase in the 35-mil lateral expansion transition temperature is compared with the shift in RT curve data in a manner similar to the comparison made NDT for the 50-ft-1b transition temperature shif t. These data show a behavior sin-ilar to that observed from the comparison of the observed and predicted 50-ft-lb transition data. All the transition temperature measurements for the weld metal are in poor agreement with the predicted shift. This can be attributed to the chemistry of the weld metal as compared to the nominal chemistry of normal weld metal for which the prediction curves were developed. The abnormal silicon content and low nickel content combina to make the weld metal less sensitive than the base metal. This being the case, it would not be expected that the current prediction techniques will apply to the weld metal. The data for the decrease in Charpy USE with irradiation showed a poor agree-ment with predicted values for both the base metal and the weld metal. How-ever, the poor comparison of the measured data with the predicted value is not unexpected in view of the lack of data for medium- to high-copper-content ma-terials at low to medium fluence values that were used to develop the estimat-ing curves. 7-2 Babcock & Wilcox

Revision 1 (6/30/82) l i Results from other capsules indicate that the RT, estimating curves have greater inaccuracies at the very low neutron fluence levels (s1 x 10" n/cm2 ), j This inaccuracy is attributed to the limited data at the low fluence values and of the fact that the majority of the data used to define the curves in RG 1.99 are based on the shif t at 30 f t-lb as compared to the current require-ment of 50-ft-lb. For mest materials the shifts measured at 50 f t-lb/35 MLE cre expected to be higher than those measured at 30 ft-lb. The significance of the shif ts at 50 f t-lb and/or 35 MLE is not well understood at present, especially for materials having USEs that approach the 50 ft-lb level and/or the 35 MLE level. Materials with this characteristic may have to be evalu-cted at transition energy levels lower than 50 ft-lb. he design curves for predicting the shif t at 50 f t-lb/35 MLE will probably l be modified as data become available; until that time, the design curves for 1 predicting the RTg shift as given in Regulatory Guide 1.99 are considered Edequate for predicting the RT g shift of those materials for which data are not available and will continue to be used to establish the pressure-tempera-t kure operational limitations for the irradiated portions of the reactor vessel. The lack of good agreement of the change in Charpy USE is further support of the inaccuracy of the prediction curves at the lower fluence levels. Although the prediction curves are conservative in that they predict a larger drop in upper shelf than is observed for a given fluence and copper content, the con-ssrvatism can unduly restrict the operational limitations. These data support the contention that the USE drop curves will have to be modified as more re-liable data become available; until that time the design curves used to pre-dict the decrease in USE are conservative. In evaluating the Charpy data from the CR3-B capsule it is important to note that the weld metal from which the Charpy specimens were fabricated has been l identified as " atypical" as described in BAW-10144A s. In accordance with the NRC review of BAW-10144A the behavior of the weld metal in Crystal River 3 [ RVMSP will be monitored to ensure the correct predictive methodology for those 1 ( weldsents that could have been fabricated with " atypical" weld wire. The data from the CR3-B capsule indicate that the atypical weld metal is significantly less sensitive to neutron radiation damage than normal weld metal of the same

 -type.

I. i i i 4 .: N i i 8. DETERMINATION OF RCPB PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE LIMITS i . The pressure-temperature limits of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) of Crystal River 3 are established in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix C. The methods and criteria employed to establish operating pressure and temperature limits are described in topical report BAW-10046. 5 1bf-The objective of these limits is to prevent nonductile failure during any nor-

mal operating condition, including anticipated operation occurrences and system hydrostatic tests. The loading conditions of interest include the following
1. Normal operations, including heatup and cooldown.
2. Inservice leak and hydrostatic tests.
3. Reactor core operation.

The major components of the RCPB have been analyzed in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix G. The closure head region, the reactor vessel outlet nozzle, and the beltline region have been identified as the only regions of the reac-tor vessel, and consequently of the RCPB, that regulate the pressure-tempera-ture limits. Since the closure head region is significantly stressed at rela-

tively low temperatures (due to mechanical loads resulting from bolt preload),

this region largely controls the pressure-temperature limits of the first several service periods. The reactor vessel outlet nozzle also affects the pressure-temperature limit curves of the first several service periods. This is due to the high local stresses at the inside corner of the nozzle which can be two to three times the membrane stresses of the shell. After the first several years of neutron radiation exposure, the RT, of the beltline region materials will be high enough that the beltline region of the reactor vessel will start to control the pressure-temperature limits of the RCPB. For the service period for which the limit curves are established, the maximum allowable pressure as c function of fluid temperature is obtained through a point-by-point comparison cf the limits imposed by the closure head region, the outlet nozzle, and the beltline region. The maximum allowable pressure is taken to be the lowest of

three' calculated pressures.

!            The limit curves for Crystal River 3 are based on the predicted values of the adjusted reference temperatures of all the beltline regien materials at the                                 )

end of the eighth full-power year. The eighth full-power year was selected because it is estimated that the second surveillance capsule will be withdrawn at the end of the refueling cycle when the estimated fluence corresponds to approximately the ninth full-power year. The time difference between the with-drawal of the first and second surveillance capsule provides adequate time for re-establishing the operating pressure and temperature limits for the period of operation between the second and third surveillance capsule withdrawals. The unirradiated impact properties were determined for the surveillance belt-line region materials in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendixes G and H. For the other beltline region and RCPB materials for which the measured properties are not available, the unirradiated impact properties and residual elements, as originally established for the beltline region materials, are listed in Table A-1. The adjusted reference temperatures are calculated by adding the predicted radiation-induced ART and the unirradiated RT The predicted ET ET. ART is calculated using the repective neutron fluence and copper and phos-ET phorus contents. Figure 8-1 illustrates the calculated peak neutron fluence at several locations through the reactor vessel beltline region wall and at the center of the surveillance capsules at each of two locations as a function of exposure time. The supporting information for Figure 8-1 is described in BAW-10100.1 The neutron fluence values of Figure 8-1 are the predicted flu-ences, which have been demonstrated (section 6) to be conservative. The de-sign curves of Regulatory Guide 1.99* were used to predict the radiation-in-duced ARTg values as a function of the material's copper and phosphorus content and neutron fluence. The neutron fluences and adjusted RT values f the beltline region materials ET at the end of the eighth full-power year are listed in Table 8-1. The neutron fluences and adjusted RT ET values are given f r the 1/4T and 3/4T vessel wall , locations (T = wall thickness). The assumed RTET f the ci sure head region and the outlet nozzle steel forgings is 60F, in accordance with BAW-10046P.s l i 1 I

1 Figure 8-2 shows the reactor vessel's pressure-temperature limit curve for normal heatup. This figure also shows the core criticality limits as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix G. Figure 8-3 and 8-4 show the vessel's pressure-temperature limit curve for normal cooldown and for heatup during inservice leak and hydrostatic tests, respectively. All pressure-temperature limit curves I are applicable up the the ninth effective full-power year. Protection against nonductile failure is ensured by maintaining the coolant pressure below the upper limits of the pressure-temperature limit curves. The acceptable pressure and temperature combinations for reactor vessel operation are below and to the right of the limit curve. The reactor is not permitted to go critical until the pressure-temperature combinations are to the right of the criticality limit curve. To establish the pressure-~emperature c limits for protection against nonductile failure of the RCPB, the limits presented in Figures 8-2 through 8-4 must be adjusted by the pressure differential between the point of system pressure measurement and the pressure on the reactor vessel controlling the limit curves. This is necessary because the reactor vessel is the most limit-ing component of the RCPB. l S-3 Babcock & Wilcox

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS i 4 The analysis of the reactor vessel material contained in the first surveil-lance capsule CR3-B removed from the Crystal River Unit 3 pressure vessel

!   led to the following conclusions:
1. The capsule received an average fast fluence of 1.05 x 10 18 n/ca z

, (E > 1 MeV). The predicted fast fluence for the reactor vessel T/4 location at the end of the first fuel cycle is 1.58 x 10 17 n/cm 2 (E > 1 MeV). l

2. 2 The fast fluence of 1.05 x 10 e n/cm (E 2
                                                         > 1 MeV) increased the RT ET f 2
        .the capsule reactor vessel core region shell materials a maxistan of 70F.

l 3. Based on a ratio of 5.4 between the fast flux at the surveillance capsule l1 location to that at the vessel wall and an 80% load factor, the projected fast fluence that the Crystal River Unit 3 reactor pressure vessel will 1 receive in 40 calendar years' operation is 1.3 x 101 ' n/cm 2(E > 1 MeV). l1 3

4. The increase in the RTg for the base plate material was in good agree-ment with that predicted by the currently used design curves of ART ET
versus fluence.
5. The increase in the RTg for the weld metal was not in good agreement with l

that predicted by the currently used design curves of ARTET **#8"* f1"- \ ence because of the difference in chemical composition.

6. The current techniques used for predicting the change in Charpy impact upper shelf properties due to irradiation are conservative.
7. The analysis of the neutron dosimeters demonstrated that the analytical l techniques used to predict the neutron flux and fluence were accurate.
8. The thermal monitors indicated that the capsule design was satisfactory for maintaining the specimens within the desired temperature range.

APPENDIX D Threshold Detector Inforumtion D-1 Babcock & Wilcox

Table D-1 lists the composition of the threshold detectors and the thickness of cadmium used to reduce competing thermal reactions. Table D-2 shows the cycle 1 measured octivity per gram of target material (i.e., per gram of ura-nium, nickel, etc.) corrected for the wait time between irradiation and count-ing. Activation cross sections for the various materials were flux weighted with a 2ssU spectrum (Table D-3). Table D-1. Detector Composition and Shielding Monitors Shielding Reaction Cd-Ag 0.02676 in.
