SUMMARY
This report describes the results of the examination of the fourth capsule of the '
Toledo Edison Company's Davis Besse Nuclear Power Station Unit I reactor vessel ;
surveillance program. The capsule was removed and examined at the end of the l sixth fuel cycle. The objective of the program is to monitor the effects of neutron irradiation on the tensile and fracture toughness properties of the reactor vessel materials by the testing and evaluation of tension, Charpy impact, and compact fracture toughness specimens. The program was designed in accordance <
with the requirements of Appendix H to 10CFR50 and ASTM Specification E185-73. '
The capsule received an average fast fluence of 9.62 x 10 18 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 Mev) I and the predicted fast fluence for the reactor vessel T/4 location at the end of '
the sixth cycle is 1.36 x 10 18 n/cm2 (E > 1 MeV). Based on the calculated fast flux at the vessel wall, an 80% capacity factor, and the planned fuel management, the projected fast fluence that the Davis Besse Unit I reactor pressure vessel inside surface will receive in 40 calendar years of operation is 1.11 x 10 I9 n/cm2 (E > 1 MeV). i The results of the tension tests indicated that the materials exhibited normal behavior relative to neutron fluence exposure. The Charpy impact data results 1 exhibited the characteristic behavior of shift to higher temperature for the 30 l
ft-lb transition temperature as a result of neutron fluence damage and a decrease in upper shelf energy. These results showed that the current techniques used for '
predicting the change in both the increase in the RT NDT and the decrease in upper '
shelf properties due to irradiation are conservative. The recommended operating period was extended to 32 effective full power years. These new operating limitations are in accordance with the requirements of Appendix G of 10CFR50.

INTRODUCTION This report describes the results of the examination of the fourth capsule of the I Toledo Edison Company's Davis Besse Nuclear power Station Unit I reactor vessel material surveillance program. The capsule was removed and examined at the end of the sixth f uel cycle (5.45 EfPY). The first capsule of the program was removed and evaluated af ter the first year of operation; the results are reported in BAW 1701.I The second capsule of the program was removed ad evaluated af ter the third fuel cycle (2.58 EfPY); the results are reported in BAW 1834. The third capsule was removed and evaluated after the (curth fuel cycle (3.33 EfPY);
the results are reported in BAW 1882.
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 actual operating conditions. The surveillence program for Davis Besse Unit I was designed and furnished by Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) as described in BAW 10100A.
I The program, designed in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix 5
H and ASTM Specification E185 736 , is being conducted in accordance with BAW-8 15437 and ASTM specification E185 82 and was planned to monitor the effects of neutron irradiation on the reactor vessel materials for the 40 year design life, i.e., 32 effective full power years (EFPY), of the reactor pressure vessel. The future operating limitations established after the evaluation of the surveillance capsule are also in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendixes G9 and HS . The recommended operating period was extended to 32 EFPY as a result of
( the fourth capsule evaluation.

I il I 2. BACKGROUND I
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 reactors. The beltline region of the reactor vessel is the most critical region of the vessel because it is exposed to neutron irradiation. The general effects of fast neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of such low alloy ferritic steeis as SA508, Class 2, used in the fabrication of the Davis Besse Unit I reactor vessel, are well characterized and documented in the literature.
1he low.611oy ferritic steels used in the beltline region of reactor vessels exhibit an increase in ultimate and yield strength properties with a correspond-ing decrease ia ductility after irradiation. The most significant mechanical l property change in reactor pressure vessel steels is the increase in temperature for the transition from brittle to ductile fracture accompanied by a reduction in the Charpy upper shelf impact toughness.
Appendix G to 10CFR50, " fracture Toughness Requirements," specifies minimum l 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 operational requirements are specified to provide adequate safety margins during I 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. Although the requirements of Appendix G to 10CFR50 became effective on August 13, 1973, the requirements are applicable to all l boiling and pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors, including those under construction or in operation on the effective date.
I 21 I 13WfteWE % r l I
I Appendix H to 10CFR50,
- Reactor Vessel Materials Surveillance Program Requirements," defines the material surveillance program required to monitor changes in the fracture toughness properties of ferritic materials in the reactor vessel beltline region of water cooled reactors resulting from exposure to neutron irradiation and the thermal environment, fracture toughness test data are obtained f rom material specimens withdrawn periodically f rom the reactor 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 G to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section 111,
" Nuclear power Plant Components." This method utilizes fracture mechanics concepts and the reference nil ductility temperature, RTNDT, which is defined as g the greater of the drop weight nil ductility transition temperature (per ASTM g E 208) or the temperature that is 60f below that at which the material exhibits 50 f t lbs and 35 mils lateral expansion. The RT ND1 of a given material is used l
to index that material to a reference stress intensity f actor curve (K curve),
lR which appears in Appendix G of ASME Section 111. The KIR curve is a lower bound of dynamic, static, and crack arrest fracture toughness results obtained from several heats of pressure vessel steel. When a given material is indexed to the g K
IR curve, allowable stress intensity f actors can be obtained for this material 5 as a function of temperature. Allowable operating limits can then be determined using these allowable stress intensity factors.
The RTNDT and, in turn, the operating limits of a nuclear power plant, can be adjusted to account for the effects of radiation on the properties of the reactor vessel materials. The radiation embrittlement and the resultant changes in mechanical properties of a given pressure vessel steel can be monitored by a surveillance program in which a surveillance capsule containing prepared specimens of the reactor vessel materials is periodically removed from the operating nuclear reactor and the specimens are tested. The increase in the Charpy V-notch 30 f t-lb temperature is added to the original RT NDT to adjust it 22 I

SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION l The surveillance program comprises six surveillance capsules designed to monitor the effects of neutron and thermal environment on the materials of the reactor pressure vessel core region. The capsules, which were inserted into the reactor vessel before initial plant startup, were positioned inside the reactor vessel between the thermal shield and the vessel wall at the locations shown in Figure I 3-1. The six capsules, originally designed to be placed two in each holder tube, are positioned near the peak axial and azimuthal neutron flux. However, with the use of Davis Besse Unit I as one of the irradiation sites of the 177-fuel-assembly integrated reactor vessel material surveillance program, the capsules l are irradiated on a schedule integrated with the capsules of the other participating reactors. This integrated schedule is described in BAW 1543. BAW-g 10100A includes a full description of the capsule design.
Capsule TEl D was removed during the sixth refueling shutdown of Davis Besse Unit
- 1. This capsule contained Charpy V-notch impact test specimens fabricated from one base metal (SA508, Class 2), a weld metal, and heat affected zone material.
Tensile specimens were fabricated from one base metal and the weld metal only, I in addition, there are compact fracture specimens fabricated from the weld metal.
The specimens contained in the capsule are described in Table 3-1, and the location of the individual specimens within the capsule are described in figure 3 2. lhe chemical composition and heat treatment of the surveillance material l in capsule TEl D are described in Table 3 2.
All test specimens were machined from the 1/4-thickness (1/4T) location of the l forging material. Charpy V-notch and tension test specimens from the vessel material were oriented with their longitudinal axes perpendicular to the I

- 4. PRE-IRRADIATION TESTS I Unirradiated material was evaluated for two purposes: (1) to establish a baseline 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 10CFR50. l 4.1. Tension Tests I
l Tension test specimens were fabricated from the reactor vessel shell course forging and weld metal. The subsize specimens were 4.25 inches long with a I 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 0.0$0 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.II For each material type and/or condition, six specimens in groups of three were tested at both room temperature and 580F, The tension-compression load cell used had a certified accuracy of better than 10.5% of full scale (25,000 lb). All test data for the pre-irradia-tion tensile specimens are given in Appendix B.
4.2. Imoact Tests I Charpy V notch impact tests were conducted in accordance with the requirements of ASTM Standard Methods A370 72 and E23-72 I2 on an impact tester certified to meet Watertown standards. Test specimens were of the Charpy V-notch type, which were nominally 0.394 inch square and 2.165 inches long.
Prior to testing, specimens were temperature controlled in liquid immersion baths, capable of covering the temperature range from -85 to +550F. Specimens I

j allowing the specimens to be broken within 5 seconds from their removal from the g
i temperature baths.
Impact test data for the unirradiated baseline reference materials are presented

five fusible alloy wires with melting points ranging from 558 to 621F. All the I thermal monitors at 558, 580, and 588F had melted while those at the 610F f
location showed no signs of melting of slumping; the monitor at the 621F location i melted in all three holder tubes, it was heretofore assumed that the 610F and l 621F monitors were placed in the wrong locations in the holder tubes, and based !
on these observations, it was concluded that the capsule had been exposed to a l
peak temperature in the range of 610 to 621F during the reactor operating prriod.
l In the case of TEl-D the original loading diagram was consulted. This drawing ;
lists the five materials used in the monitors, and showed the position in which g each wire was loaded. Both show the lead wire (621F melting point) to be in the fourth position, with the cadmium wire (610F melting point) in the fifth position.
This supports the observation that the 610F monitor did not melt while the 621F I monitor did melt. It is believed that the lead wire sof tened (and presented the appearance of melting) due to long term exposure to elevated temperatures, which were not sufficient to melt the cadmium wire. Therefore, it is probable that the capsules was exposed to temperatures in excess of 588F but not as high as 610F, and that this was sufficient to cause the lead wires to slump and appear to have melted.
These peak temperatures are attributed to operating transients that are of short durations as described in BAW 2040 I3 and are judged to have insignificant effect on irradiation damage. Short duration operating transients cause the use of I
51
,I l 13 W fte W a h r I
B thermal monitor wires to be of limited value in determining the nsximum steady state operating temperature of the surveillance capsules; however, it was l
calculated that the maximum steady state operating temperature of specimens in the capsule was held within +25f of the 1/4T vessel thickness location temperature of 561 as described in BAW 2040, it is concluded that the capsule design temperature may have been exceeded daring operating transients but not for times and temperatures that would make the capsule data unusable.
5,2, Tensien Test ResuMJ The results of the postirradiation tension tests are presented in Table 51. g Tests were performed on specimens at both room temperature and 550 using the same B 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 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 range of changes to be expected for the radiation environment to which the specimens were exposed, The results of the pre irradiation tension tests are presented in Appendix B, 5,3. Charny V-Notch Impact Test Results l
The test results from the irradiated Charpy V-notch specimens of the reactor vessel beltline material are presented in Tables 5-2 through 5-4 and Figures 51 through 5 3. The test procedures and techniques were the same as those used to test the unirradiated specimens (Section 4.2). The data show that the materials exhibited a sensitivity to irradiation within the values to be expected from their chemical composition and the fluence to which they were exposed.
Scatter in the heat-affected zone material normally prevents a serious interpretation of the data. Although the data contained in this capsule results g appear to follow a smooth trend, the data at 550f is significantly below the upper-shelf trend and, therefore, must be classified as abnormal scatter, The results of the pre irradiation Charpy V-notch impact tests are given in Appendix C.

- 6. NEUTRON FLUENCE 6.1. Introduction The neutron fluence (time integral of flux) is a quantative way of expressing the cumulative exposure of a material to a pervading neutron flux over a specific I period of time. Fast neutron fluence, defined as the fluence of neutrons having j
energies greater than 1 MeV, is the parameter that is presently used to correlate :
radiation induced changes in mateM61 properties. Accordingly, the fast fluence must be determined at two locations: (1) in the test specimens located in the j surveillance capsule, and (2) in the wall of the reactor vessel. The former is l- used in develtwing the correlation between fast fluence and changes in the
)
material properties of specimens, and the latter is used to ascertain the point g
of maximum fluence in the reactor vessel, the relative radial and azimuthal distribution of the fluence, the fluence gradient through the reactor vessel I wall, and the corresponding material properties.
The accurate determination of neutron flux is best accomplished through the I simultaneous consideration of neutron dosimeter measurements and analytically derived flux spectra. 00simeter measurements alone cannot be used to predict the fast fluence in the vessel wall or in the test specimens because (1) they cannot measure the fluence at the points of interest, and (2) they provide only j
rudimentary information about the neutron energy spectrum. Conversely, reliance on calculations alone to predict fast fluence is not prudent because of the g length and complexity of the analytical procedures involved, in short, measurements and calculations are necessary complements of each other and together they provide assurance of accurate results.
Therefore, the determination of the fluence is accomplished using a combined analytical-empirical methodology which is outlined in figure 61 and described I in the following paragraphs. The details of the procedures and methods are pre-sented in general terms in Appendix 0 and in BAW 1485p.15 I 61

REACTOR OPERATING NEIITRON HISTORY No PRE-R.UDOE DICTED FUTlRE a OPERATION 5 Analytical Determination of Dosimeter Activities and Neutron flux I
The analytical calculation of the space and energy dependent neutron flux in the h test specimens and in the reactor vessel is performed with the two dimensional ;
discrete ordinates transport code, D011V.16 The calculations employ an angular quadrature of 48 sectors (58), a third order leGendre polynomial scattering II approximation (p3), the CASK 23E cross section set with 22 neutron energy groups and a fixed distributed source corresponding to the time weighted average power distribution for the applicable irradiation period.
In addition to the flux in the test specimens, the 00TIV calculation determines
, the saturated specific activity of the various neutron dosimeters located in the surveillance capsule using the ENDF/B5 dosimeter reaction cross sections.I8 The saturated activity of bach dosimeter is then adjusted by a factor which corrects

l I
for the fraction of saturation attained during the dosimeter's actual (finite) irradiation history. Additional corrections are made to account for the following effects:
o Photon induced fissions in V and Np dosimeters (without this correction the results underestimate the measured activity).
e fissile impurities in V dosimeters (without this correction the results underestimate the measured activity).
e Short half life of isot epes produced 4 iron and nickel dosimeters (303-day Mn 54 and 71 day Co48, respectiyOy). (Without this correction, the results could be biased high or low depending on the long term versus short term power histories.)
Measurement of Neutron Dosimeter Activities I The accuracy of neutron fluence predictions is improved if the calculated neutron flux is compared with neutron dosimeter measurements adjusted for the effects I noted above. The neutron dosimeters located in the surveillance capsules are listed in Table 61. Both activation type and fission type dosimeters were used.
The ratio of measured dosimeter activity to calculated dosimeter activity (M/C) is determined for each dosimeter, as discussed in Appendix D. These M/C ratios are evaluated on a case by-case basis to assess the dependability or veracity of h
each individual dosimeter response. Af ter carefully evaluating all f actors known l to affect the calculations or the measurements, an average M/C ratio is calculated and defined as the
- normalization factor." The normalization factor is applied as an adjustment f actor to the DOT-calculated flux at all points of interest, llqutron fluence The determination of the neutron fluence from the time averaged flux requires only a simple multiplication by the time in EFPS (effective full-power seconds) over which the flux was averaged, i.e.

tieutron fluence was calculated in this analysis for the following components over the indicated oMrating time:
l Test Specimens: Capsule irradiation time in EfPS Reactor Vessel: Vessel irradiation time in EfPS Reactor Vessel: Maximum point on inside surface extrapolated to 32 effectite full power years The neutron exposure to the reactor vessel and the material surveillance specimens was also determined in terms of the iron atom displacements per atom of iron (DPA). The iron DPA is an exposure index giving the fraction of iron atoms in an iron specimen which would be displaced during an irradiation. It is l
considered to be an appropriate damage exposure index since displacements of atoms from their normal lattice sites is a primary source of neutron radiation damage. DPA was calculated based on the AS1'i Standard E693-79 (reapproved 1985).I9 A DPA cross section for iron is given in the ASTM Standard in 641 energy groups. DPA per second is determined by multiplying the cross section at a given energy by the neutron flux at that energy and integrating over energy.
DPA is then the integral of DPA per second over the time of the irradiation. In the DPA calculations reported herein, the ASTM DPA cross sections were first collapsed to the 22 neutron group structure of CASK-23E; the DPA was then l
determined by summing the group flux times the DPA cross section over the 22 g energy groups and multiplying by the time of the irradiation.

l l 6.2. Vessel Fluence The maximum fluence (E > 1 MeV) exposure of the Davis Besse Unit I reactor vessel during Cycles 16 was determinta tb be 2.44 x 100 n/cm' based on a maximum neutron flux of 1.42 x 10 n/5lm2 -s (Tables 6 2 and t ,1). The maximum fluence j g occurs at the cladding / vessel interface at an azimuthal location of approximately 11 degrees from a major horizontai Akis of the cert.
Fluence data were extrapolated to 32 EFPY of operation based on two assumptions:
(1) the future fuel cycle o;a' rations do not differ significantly from their I current designs, and (2) the latest chhulated (or extrapolated) flux remains constant from that time through 32 UPt. The extrapolttion was carried out in two states, (1) frot EOC 6 to [00 7, and (2) from EOC 7 to 32 EFPY. In the first I stage, Cycle 7 fuel design information is used to calculate assembly averaged relative power distributions. These power distributions are used with DOT adjoint factors to determine the average fast flux for Cycle 7. In the second stage, the 32 EfPY fluence was calculated by assuming a constant flux over the l period which was equal to the average flux for cycle 7.
Relative fluence and DPA (displacement per atom) as a function of radial location l in the reactor vessel wall is shown in figure 6 2. Reactor vessel neutron fluence lead factors, which are the ratio of the neutron flux at the clad inter-face to that in the vessel wall at the T/4, T/2 and 3T/4 locations, are 1.79, 3.54, and 7.28, respectively. DPA lead factors at the same locations are 1.59 2.64, and 4.57, respectively. The relative fluence as a function of azimuthal I angle is shoe in figure 6 3. A peak occurs in the fast flux ([ > 1 HeV) at about 11 degrt with a corresponding value of 1.42 x 10'0 n/cm' s.
6,3. Capsule Fluence I The capsule was irradiated for 1989.8 EFPD in the top holder tube position during Cycles 1-6 of Davis Besse located 26.9' degrees off the major horizontal axis at about 202 cm from the vertical axis of the core. The cumulative fast fluence at the center of the surveillance capsule was calculated to be 9.62 x 10 a n/cm'.

- 7. DISCUSSION OF CAPSULE RLSULTS 7.1. Pre-1rradiation Property Data A review of the unirradiatec properties of the reactor vessel core beltline region materials indicated no significant deviation from expected properties except in the erse of the upper shelf properties of the weld metal. Based on the predicted end t -service peak neutron fluence value at the 1/4T vessel wall location and the copper content of the weld metal, it was predicted, using Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2 methodology, that the end of-service Charpy upper shelf energy (USE) will be below 50 ft-lb. However, plant specific material I surveillance data show this value will remain above 50 ft-lbs.
This weld was selected for inclusion in the surveillance program in accordance I with the criteria in effect at the time the program was designed for Davis Besse Unit-1. The applicable selection criterion was based on the unirradiated properties only.
7.2. Irradiated Property Data I 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 I ductility are within the limits observed for similar materials. There is some strengthening, as indicated by increases in ultimate and yield strengths and 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 temperature and 550F in the properties of the weld metal are larger than those observed for the base metal, indicating a greater sensitivity of the weld metal
-to irradiation damage. In either case, the changes in tensile properties are insignificant relative to the analysis of the reactor vessel materials at this period in service life.
I 7-1 I l

A comparison of the tensile data from the first three capsules (Capsules TEl-F, TEl A, and TEl-B) with the corresponding data from the capsule reported in this report is shown in Table 7 2. The currently reported capsule experienced a fluence that is 3/4 that of the previous capsule and five times greater than the first capsule.
The general behavior of the tensile properties as a function of neutron irradiation is an increase in both ultimate and yield strength and a decrease in ductility as measured by both total elongation and reduction of area. The most significant observation from these data is that the weld metal exhibited greater sensitivity to neutron radiation than the base metal.
7.2.2, Impact Properties The behavior of the Charpy V notch impact data is more significant to the calculation of the reactor system's operating limitations. Table 7-3 compares the observed changes in irradiated Charpy impact properties with the predicted changes.
The 30 ft-lb transition temperature shift for the base metal is not in good agreement with the value predicted using either Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 220 or Rev. 2 plus margin. It would be expected that these values would exhibit better agreement when it is considered that the data used to develop Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2, was taken at the 30 ft-lb temperature.
The transition temperature measurements at 30 ft-lbs for the weld metal is in good agreement with the results using Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, but is in poor agreement with the results using Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 plus margin. At the 30 ft-lb level, the shift relationship to the predicted value demonstrates that the estimating curves of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2 are conservative for predicting the 30 ft-lb transition temperature shifts.
The 50 ft-lb transition temperature shift for the base metal is not in good agreement with the shift that would be predicted according to Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2. The less than ideal comparison may be attributed to the spread in the data of the material was based only on the 30 ft-lb transition data ccmbined 7-2 l

I g with a small number of data points to establish the irradiated curve. Under 5 these conditions, the comparison indicates that the estimating curves in RG 1.99 for low-copper materials are not conservative for predicting the 50 f t-lb transition temperature shifts.
l The data for the decrease in Charpy USE with irradiation showed good agreement l with predicted values for the base metal and only fair agreement for the weld metal. However, a good comparison of the measured data with the predicted value is not expected in view of the lack of data for low , medium , or high-copper content materials at these fluence values that were used to develop the estimating curves, A comparison of the Charpy impact data from the first, second and third capsules (Capsules TEl-F, TEl-A and TEl-B) with the corresponding data from the capsule l reported in this report is shown in Table 7-4. The currently reported data l experienced a fluence that is 3/4 that of the previous capsule and five times ;
greater than the first capsule. I 1
'I The base metal exhibited shif ts at the 30 f t-lb level for the latest capsule that were greater than those of the second capsules and less than that recorded for l
the third capsule. The corresponding data for the weld metal showed about a 20%
increase at the 30 ft-lb level.
Both the base metal and the weld metal exhibited decreases in tne upper shelf I
values comparable to that observed in the previous capsules, These data confirm t that the upper shelf drop for this weld metal may have reachet a stabilized condition (saturation) as observed in the results of capsules evaluawi by others. This lack of further decrease in Charpy USE drop for this weld meta' should not be considered indicative of a similar lack of decrease of upper shelf region fracture toughness properties. This behavior indicates that other i reactions may be taking place within the material besides simplo neutron damage.
Verification of this relationship must await the testing and evaluation of the data from conpact fracture toughness test specimens, I
I l 7-3 I BW!!nn?a!Lr I
I Results from other surveillance capsules also indicate that RT NDT estimating curves have greater inaccuracies than originally thought. These inaccuracies are a function of a number of parameters related to the basic data available at the g
time the estimating curves are established. These parameters may include a inaccurate fluence values, poor chemical composition values, and variations in data interpretation. The change in the regulations requiring the shif t measurement to be based on the 30 f t lb value has minimized the errors that result from using the 30 f t-lb data base to predict the shif t ft-lbs.
behavior at 50 l
The design curves for predicting the shif t will continue to be modified as more data become available; until that time, the design curves for predicting the RT NDT shift as given in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, are considered adequate for predicting the RT NDT shift f those materials for which data are not available. These curves will be used to establish the pressure-temperature g operational limitations for the irradiated portions of the reactor vessel until W the time that new prediction curves are developed and approved.
The lack of good ag eement of the change in Charpy USE is further support of the inaccuracy of thn prediction curves as included in Regalatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2. Ahhough the prediction curves are conservative in that they generally predict a larger decrease in upper-shelf energy than is observed for a given fluence and copper content, the conservatism can unduly restrict the operational limitations. These data support the contention that the USE drop l
carves will have to be revised as more reliable data become available; until that time the design curves used to predict the decrease in USE of the controlling materials for licensing applications are considered conservative.
7.3. Reactor Vessel Fracture Touahness An evaluation of the reactor ssel end of-life fracture toughness and the g
pressurized thermal shock criterion was made and the results are presented in Table 7-5.
I 7-4 BW!!An?a%m I
B
I The fracture toughness evaluation shows that the controlling weld metal may have I an end-of-life RT DTof N 216f based on Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2. This predicted shift is excessive since the latest capsule (Lapsule TEl D) exhibited I a measured shif t of 150F for a fluence of 9.62 x 10 18 n/cm2 , Ratioing this measured shift to the T/4 wall location fluence, it is estimated that the end of-life RTNDT shift will be significantly less than the value predicted using i Regulatory Guide 1,99, Revision 2. This reduced shift permits the calculation l of less restrictive pressure temperature operating limitations than if Regulatory Guide 1,99, Revision 2, was used.
I The pressurized thermal shock evaluation demonstrates that the Davis Besse reactor pressure vessel is well below the screening criterion limits and, therefore, need not take any additional corrective action as required by the regulation, An evaluation of the reactor vessel end-of-life upper shelf energy for each of the materials used in the fabrication was made and the results are presented in I Table 7-6. This evaluation was made because the weld metals used to fabricate the reactor vessel are Linde 80 flux, l ow-upper-shel f-energy, relative high copper and are expected to be highly sensitive to neutron radiation damage. Two I methods were used to evaluate the radiation induced decrease N upper shelf energy. The method of Regulatory Guide 1,99, Revision 2, which is the same procedure as used in Revision 1, and the method presented in BAW-1803 2I which was developed specifically to address the need of an estimating method for this class of weld metals.
The methods of both Regulatory Guide 1,99, Revision 2, and BAW-1803 show that none of the materials used in the fabrication of the reactor vessel will have an upper-shelf energy below 50 f t-lbs through 32 EFPY design life based on the T/4 wall location. Regulatory Guide 1,99 method predicts a decrease below 50 ft-lbs for the controlling weld metal at the vessel inside wall, Contrary to this prediction, the actual weld metal surveillance data does not support such a large I decrease in upper-shelf energy.
I I 7-5
,I I
I Based on the Davis Besse surveillance data and the prediction techniques presented in BAW-1803, it is concluded that none of the reactor vessel material upper-shelf energies will decrease to below 50 f t-lbs during the vessel design life.

I I 8. DETERMINATION OF REACTOR COOLANT PRESSURE BOUNDARY PRESSURE - TEMPERATURE LIMITS The pressure temperature limits of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) of Davis Besse Unit-1 are established in accordance with the recuirements of I 10CFR50, Appendix G. The methods and criteria employed to establish operating pressure and temperature luits are described in topical report BAW 10046A.24 The objcctive of these limits is to prevent nonductile failure during any normal I operating condition, including anticipated operation occurrences and system hydrostatic tests. The loading conditions of interest include the following:
I 1. Normal operations, including heatup and cooldown.
- 2. Inservice leak and hydrostatic tests.
g
- 3. Reactor core operation.
The major components of the RCPB have been analyzed in accordance with 10CFR50, Appendix G. The closure head region, the reactor vessel outlet noule, and the l beltline region have been identified as the only regions of the reactor vessel (and consequently of the RCPB) that regulate the pressuretemperature limits.
Since the closure head region is significantly stressed at relatively low temperatures (due to mechanical loads resulting from bolt - preload), this region largely controls the pressure-temperature limits of the first several service
.I 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 HDT f 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 I 8-1
- "" " ~
I
I limit curves are established, the maximum allowable pressure as a function of fluid temperature is obtained through a point by-point comparison of the limits impused by the closure head region, the outlet nozzle, and the beltline region.
The maximum allowable pressure is taken to be the lowest of the three calculated l
pressures.
The limit curves for Davis Besse Unit I are based on the predicted values of the adjusted reference temperatures of all the beltline region materials at the end of the thirty-second EFPY, The thirty second EFPY was selected because it is estimated that the fourth surveillance capsule will be withdrawn at the end of the refueling cycle when the estimated capsule fluence corresponded to appro-ximately the inside surface end of-life value. The time difference between the withdrawal of the third and fourth surveillance capsule provides adequate time for re establishing the operating pressure and temperature limits for the period of operation beyond the current limits.
The unirradiated impact properties were determined for the surveillance beltline l
region materials in accordance with 10CFR50, Appendixes G and H. For the other beltline region and RCPB materials for which the measured properties are not l
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 RT NDT and the unirradiated RT NDT. The predicted RT NDT is calculated using the respective neutron fluence and copper and nickel contents.
Figure 8-1 illustrates the calculated peak neutron fluence at several locations through the reactor vessel beltline region wall. The supporting information for Figure 8-1 is described in Section 6. The neutron fluence values of Figure 8-1 are the predicted fluences that have been demonstrated (Section 6) to be l
conservative. The design curves of Regulatory Guide 1.99, Rev. 2, were used to predict the radiation-induced RT NDT values as a function of the material's copper and nickel content and neutron fluence.
-The neutron fluences and adjusted RT NDT values of the beltline region materials at the end of the thirty-second full-power year are listed in Table 8-1. The 82 I
asu==_ ,
I neutron fluences and adjusted RT values are given for the 1/4T and 3/4T vessel NDT wall locations (T = wall thickness). The assumed RT NDT of the closure head region and the outlet noale steel forgings is 60F, in accordance with BAW-10046. l The chemistry factors for the controlling metals (WF 1821) in the beltline region was recalculated in accordance with the procedures described in Regulatory I Guide 1.99, Revision 2, Regulatory Position 2.
The data used to calculate a new chemistry factor for weld metal WF 182-1 was I obtained from the B&WOG Integrated Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program. The data !
for the weld metal WF-182-1 which has the weld wire Heat No, 821T44. A summary of the available data is as follows.

I Figure 8 2 shows the reactor vessel's pressure-temperature limit curve for normal heatup. This figure also shows the the core criticality limits as required by 10CFR50, Appendix G. Figures 8-3 and 8-4 show the vessel's pres-g sure-temperature limit curve for normal cooldown and for heatup during inservice 5' leak and hydrostatic tests, respectively. All pressure-temperature limit curves are applicable up to the thirty-second EFPY, 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 90 critical until the pressure-te-mperature combinations are to the right of the criticality limit curve. To establish the pressure temperature limits for protection against nonductile g
failure of the RLPD. the limits presented in Figures 8 2 through 8-4 must be 3 adjusted by the pressure dif ferential 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 limiting component of the RCPB.

SUMMARY
OF RESULTS The analysis of the reactor vessel material contained in the third surveillance I capsule, TEl D, removed for evaluation as part of the Davis Besse Unit 1 Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program, led to the following conclusions:
- 1. Tha capsule received an average fast fluence of 9.62 x 10 18 n/cm2 (E >
1.0 MeV) . The predicted fast fluence 18 3 location at the end of the sixth fuel cycle foristhe reactor 1.36 x 10 vesse} n/cm E> (T/4 E 1 MeV).
- 2. The fast fluence of 9.62 x 10 18 n/cm2 (E > 1 MeV) increased the RT of the capsule reactor vessel core region shell materials a maximum $I 150F.
I 3. Based on the calculated fast flux at the vessel wall, an 80% capacity factor and the planned fuel management, the projected fast fluence that the Davis receive Besse in 32 EFPYUnit I reactor operation pressure is 1.11 x 10 gesse} g n/cm (inside surface will E > 1 MeV).
- 4. The increase in the RT for the shell forging material was not in good agreement with thayDhredicted by the currently used design curves l 5.
of RT NDT versus fluence (i .e. , R.G.1.99/Rev. 2) . The increase in the RT for the weld metal was in good agreement with that predicted by thMDdurrently used design curves of RT . versus
-I fluence (i.e., R.G.1.99/Rev. 2) and the prediction tech $ dues are conservative.
- 6. values decreased for 32 EFPY because of a decrease in the The RT[dh estima EOL fluence values and are well below the PTS screening criteria.
- 7. The current techniques (i.e., Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2) used to predict the change in weld metal Charpy upper-shelf properties due to irradiation are conservative.

- 1. Analytical Method A semiempirical method is used to calculate the capsule and vessel flux. The method employs explicit modeling of the reactor vessel and internals and uses an average core power distribution in the discrete ordinates transport code D011V, version 4.3. CSTIV calculates the energy and space dependent nedtron flux for the specific reactor under consideration. This semiempirical method is conven-l iently outlined in Figures 01 (capsule flux) and D 2 (vessel flux). g The two dimensional transport code DOTIV was used to calculate the energy and space-dependent neutron flux at all points of interest in the reactor system.
DOTIV uses the discrete ordinates method of solution of the Boltzmann transport equation and has multi-group and asymmetric scattering capability. The reference calculational model is an R-e geometric representation of a plan view through the reactor core midplane which includes the core, core liner, coolant, core barrel, g thermal shield, pressure vessel, and concrete. The material and geometry model, 5 represented in Figure D-3, uses one eight core symmetry. In order to include reasonable geometric detail within the computer memory limitations, the code parameters are specified as P 3 order of scattering, S quadrature, e and 40 energy groups. The P3 order of scattering adequately describes the predominately forward scattering of neutrons observed in the deep penetration of steel and l water media, as demonstrated by the close agreement between measured and calculated dosimeter activities. The S, symmetric quadrature has generally produced accurate results in discrete ordinates solutions for similar problems, g and is used routinely in the B&W R s 00T analyses. 5 Flux generation in the core was represented by a fixed distributed source which the code derives based on a 235 0 fission spectrum, the input relative power distribution, and a normalization factor to adjust flux level to the desired 5 power density. B 9eometrical Confiauration for modeling purposes, the actual geometrical configuration is divided into three parts, as shown in Figure D 3. The first part, Model *A," is used to generate D-2 I 13Wtisen%r Bl 4
=!
I l the energy dependent angular flux at the inner boundary of Model "B," which begins at the outer surface of the core barrel, Model A includes a detailed representation of the core baffle (or liner) in R d geometry that has been checked for both metal thickness and total metal volume to cr'ure that the 001 approximation to the actual geometry is as accurate as possible for these two I very important parameters. The second, Model B, contains an explicit represen-tation of the surveillance capt.ule and associated components. The B&W Owners Group's Flux Perturbation Experiment O verified that the surveillance capsule must be explicitly included in the DOT models used for capsule and vessel flux calculations in order to obtain the desired accuracy. The magnitude of the perturbations in the fast flux due to the presence of the capsule was determined in the Porturbation Experiment to be as high as 47% at the capsule center and as high as 10% at the inner surface of the reactor vessel. Detailed explicit modeling of the capsule, capsule holder tube, and internal components is I therefore incorporated into the DOT calculational models. The third, Model "C," is similar to Model B except that no capsule is included. Model C is used in determining the vessel flux in quadrants that do not contain a surveillance capsule; typically these quadrants contain the azimuthal flux peak on the inside l surface of the reactor vessel. An overlap region of approximately 33.0? cm or 17 radial intervals is specified l between Model A and Models B or C. The width of this overlap region, which is fixed by the placement of the Model A vacuum boundary and the Model B boundary source, was determined by an iterative process that resulted in close agreement g between the overlap region flux as predicted by Models A and B or C. The outer boundary was placed sufficiently far into the concrete shield (cavity wall) that I the use of a " vacuum" boundary condition does not cause a perturbation in the flux at the points of interest. Macrosconic Cross Sections Macroscopic cross sections, required for transport analyses, are obtained with the mixing code GIP. Nominal compositions are used for the structural metals. Coolant compositions were determined using the average boron concentration over I lI D3 I IBW!!MY8%%
Il a fuel cycle and the bulk temperature of the region. homogeneous mixture of fuel, fuel cladding, structure, and coolant. The core region is a l The cross section library presently used is the (22 neutron group and 18 gamma group) CASK 23E coupled set. The dosimeter reaction cross sections are based on the ENDF/B5 library, and are listed in Table E-3. The measured and calculated g dosimeters activities are compared in Table D-1. Distributed Source The neutron population in the core during full power operation is a function of neutron energy, space, and time. The time dependence is accounted for in the analysis by calculating the time weighted average neutron source, i.e. the neutron source corresponding to the time-weighted average power distribution. The effects of the other two independent variables, energy and space, are accounted for by using a finite but appropriately large number of discrete intervals in energy and space, in each of these intervals the neutron source is assumed to be invariant and independent of all other variables. The space and energy dependent source function can be considered as the product of a discretely expressed " spatial function" and a magnitude coefficient, i.e. Svgjg = [v/K Po ) x [RPDj )X,) (D 1) v- - v-- magnitude spatial where: Sv gjg

I j = Azimuthal coordinate index, g - Energy group index. The spatial dependence of the flux is directly related to the RPD distribution. Even though the entire (eighth core symmetric) RPD distribution is modeled in the g analysis, only the peripheral fuel assemblies contribute significantly to the ex-core flux. The axial average pin by pin RPD distribution is calculated on a quarter core symmetric basis for 8 to 12 times during each core cycle for the I entire capsule irradiation period. The time weighted average RPD distribution is used to generate the normalized space and energy dependency of the neutron source. Calculations for the energy and space dependent, time averaged flux were performed for the midpoint of each DOT interval throughout the model. Since the l reference model calculation produced fluxes in the R e plane that are averaged over the core height, an axial correction factor was required to adjust these l fluxes to the capsule elevation. The factor used (1.14) was prescribed in BAW-148SP.I4 l 1.1. Capsule flux and fluence Calculation As discussed above, the D0TIV code was used to explicitly model the capsule assembly and to calculate the neutron flux as a function of energy within the capsule. The calculated fluxes were used in the following equation to obtain g calculated activities for comparison with the measured data. The calculated activity for reaction product Di , in (pCi/gm) is:

Additionally, the normalization factor was used to update the average normalization factor which had been derived from previour, analyses. The updated normalization factor was then used to adjust the calculated vessel flux and fluence. The flux normalization factors are given in Table D 1.

The flux and fluence for time period 2 was estimated by calculating the I vessel flux using an adjoint D01 calculational procedure with the appropriate assembly average power distributions and integrating these values over time period 2.
