- 5.4'.2.3.1 Background t
[ \
l Supplement No. 3. to .the CESSAR. SEs tdentified steam generator tube vibration as '
a new issue that was under review by the staff. This issue first came to light-when-Palo Verde Unit l' experienced primary-to-secondary leakage during its initial operating cycle on' January 17, 1987. Mid-cycle and end-of-cycle 1 inspections at Palo' Verde Units 1 and 2 revealed dozens of tubes with tube wall thinning indications at egg crate supports 1 through 5. The affected tubes were
. located primarily in the corner region between the bundle periphery and the tube
. lane at the cold-leg side recirculating fluid inlet region. A small number of the affected tubes were located inboard of the corner region along the tube lane.
The wall thinning indications are the result of the tubes vibrating and rubbing against the tube supports.
5.4.2.3.2 Discussion The original tube and tube support vibration analysis performed in accordance with ASME Code,Section III (1986 edition), showed that the maximum average tube crossflow gap velocity in the cold-leg recirculating inlet region was 9.8 ft/sec, which is well below the critical velocity of 25.5 ft/sec for fluidelastic instability. These results'were consistent with test results from a 30' sector, full-scale model of this region. Hewever, although the analytical and test models were appropriate for assessing average flow conditions in this region, they were not capable of calculating local flow conditions at the corner region and tube
. lane.

2-Subsequent to the occurrence of the wear indications at Palo Verde Unit 1, more detailed analyses were conducted to evaluate local flow conditions at the corner and tube lane regions. These analyses revealed locally high flow velocities in the corner region reaching 46.2 f t/sec. The locally high flow velocities are predicted to rapidly attenuate to non-critical levels within 10 rows of the periphery of the bundle along the tube lane.
Most tubes that have experienced wear indications to date appear to be located within the region where locally high flow velocities are predicted to occur.
There are a few instances of wear indications in tubes located near the tube lane extending down as far as the tie rod located approximately twenty rows in from the periphery where the flow velocities are not predicted to be abnormally high.
Indications in tubes adjacent to the tie rod are attributed to the limited gap between the tubes and the adjacent tie rod (apparently not modeled), resulting in higher flow velocities through these gaps. However, there are also isolated ,
instances of indications in tubes along the tube lane located between the corner region of locally high flow velocities and the immediate location of the tie rod.
By letter dated July 1,1988, Combustion Engineering submitted a CESSAR change package to document the potential for the subject vibration / wear phenomenon.
The CESSAR changes recommend that owners institute a program to plug and stake all susceptible tubes with indicated tube wear or preventively plug and stake tubes in the corner regions that have the potential to experience this wear.
It is also recomended that this program include monitoring and periodic inspections as part of the inservice inspection program. CE recommends that criteria be established so that tubes exhibiting wear are preventively plugged and staked.
5.4.2.3.3 Evaluation On the basis of its review of the CE analyses and the initial operating experience at Palo Verde Units 1, 2, and 3, the staff believes that programs similar to that recommended by CE can provide adequate assurance of tube integrity. However, the CE recommendations in the CESSAR change package are not specific as to which tubes should be preventively plugged before initial
d plant operation. hor are the CE recommendations specific as to the criteria for monitoring, inspecting, and plugging of tubes with respect to the vibration /
wear phenomenon. Therefore, the specifics of these programs most be addressed !
on a plant specific basis. For operating license (OL) applicants (e.g.,
WNP-3), these programs r.ust be submitted before issuance of an operating license. For operating plants, the staff is monitoring licensee actions to ensure that they are adequately effective in ensuring steam generator tube i ntegr-i ty. .
