SUBJECT:
COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-446 UNIT 2 RELIEF REQUESTS NOS. B-7, B-12 and B-13 FOR THE SECOND 10-YEAR ISI INTERVAL (SECOND ISI INTERVAL START DATE: AUGUST 3,2004; SECOND ISI INTERVAL END DATE: AUGUST 2,2014)
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), Luminant Generation Company LLC (Luminant Power) is submitting Relief Requests B-7, B-12 and B-13 for Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) Unit 2 for the second ten-year inservice inspection interval. A proposed relief is requested from the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI 1998 Edition through the 2000 Addenda, for inspection impracticality for Steam Generator Head-to-Tubesheet welds.
The basis and justification for the relief request is attached.

Applicable Code Edition and Addenda
ASME Section XI, 1998 Edition through 2000 Addenda.
- 3.
Applicable Code Requirement
ASME Section XI 1998 Edition through 2000 Addenda, Figure IWB-2500-6 (Design B) requires a minimum volumetric examination of the weld volume extending 1/2t into the base metal on both the head side and tubesheet side of the head-to-tubesheet weld (Code Item B2.40).
Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) Unit 2 second ten-year interval Inservice Inspection Program Plan also implements Code Case N-460, "Alternative Examination Coverage for Class 1 and Class 2 Welds,Section XI, Division 1," which is endorsed by the NRC in Revision 16 of Regulatory Guide 1.147, "Inservice Inspection Code Case Acceptability ASME Section XI, Division 1." Code Case N-460 states, in part, "when the entire examination volume or area cannot be examined due to interference by another component or part geometry, a reduction in examination coverage on any Class 1 or Class 2 weld may be accepted provided the reduction in coverage for that weld is less than 10%."
NRC Information Notice (IN) 98-42, "Implementation of 10CFR50.55a(g) Inservice Inspection Requirements," termed a reduction in coverage of less than 10 percent to be "essentially 100 percent." IN 98-42 states, in part, "The NRC has adopted and further refined the definition of "essentially 100 percent" to mean "greater than 90 percent." This methodology has been applied to all examinations of welds or other areas required by ASME Section XI.
- 4.
Impracticality of Compliance:
The examination of the subject component weld is limited by the presence of four 24"x24" Steam Generator support pads and seventeen 2.5"x2.5" welded pads (See attached sketch). The examinations were conducted in accordance with procedure TX-ISI-210, "Ultrasonic Examination Procedure for Welds in Ferritic Steel Vessels." Straight beam (00) and angle beam (450 shear and 60' longitudinal) scans were used to achieve the weld volume obtained. As shown on the attached examination data sheets the 00 and 450 exam angles were both limited to 22% not examined, and the 600 exam angle was limited to 31% not examined. Taking the worst case limitation this corresponds to a coverage of 69% of the required examination volume.

- INSERVICE INSPECTION IMPRACTICALITY
- 5.
Burden Caused by Compliance:
The design configuration restrictions of the subject component makes the Code required examination coverage requirements for the weld volume impractical. Plant modifications or replacements of components designed to allow for complete coverage would be needed to meet the Code requirements. This would cause considerable burden to CPNPP.
- 6.
Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use:
Proposed Alternative:
The following alternatives are proposed in lieu of the required examination coverage of essentially 100 percent:
- 1. Ultrasonic testing (UT) of the subject component weld was performed to the maximum extent practical during the second ten-year interval.
- 2.
Pressure test VT-2 visual examinations were performed, as required by Code Category B-P, during the second ten-year interval. No evidence of leakage was identified for this component.
Basis for Use:
The basis for use of this alternative is that it provides the best examination coverage practical within the limitations of the current configuration. Based on the percentage of the examination volume completed and the lack of any indications identified, there is a high level of confidence in the continued structural integrity of the weld. CPNPP believes that there is no undue risk to the public health and safety presented by this request.
- 6.
Duration of Proposed Alternative:
The second ten-year ISI interval for Unit 2 began on August 3, 2004 and ends on August 2, 2014.

- 1. ASME Code Components Affected:
ASME Code Class:
Code Class 1
References:
ASME Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1 and IWB-3510 Examination Category:
B-B Item Number:
B2.40
==
Description:==
Code required examination coverage for the weld volume is impractical Component:
Steam Generator 2-04 Head-to-Tubesheet Weld TCX-1-3100-4-1 Component Number:
TCX-RCPCSG-04
2. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda
ASME Section XI, 1998 Edition through 2000 Addenda.
3. Applicable Code Requirement
ASME Section XI 1998 Edition through 2000 Addenda, Figure IWB-2500-6 (Design B) requires a minimum volumetric examination of the weld volume extending 1/2t into the base metal on both the head side and tubesheet side of the head-to-tubesheet weld (Code Item B2.40).
Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) Unit 2 second ten-year interval Inservice Inspection Program Plan also implements Code Case N-460, "Alternative Examination Coverage for Class 1 and Class 2 Welds,Section XI, Division 1," which is endorsed by the NRC in Revision 16 of Regulatory Guide 1.147, "Inservice Inspection Code Case Acceptability ASME Section XI, Division 1." Code Case N-460 states, in part, "when the entire examination volume or area cannot be examined due to interference by another component or part geometry, a reduction in examination coverage on any Class 1 or Class 2 weld may be accepted provided the reduction in coverage for that weld is less than 10%."
NRC Information Notice (IN) 98-42, "Implementation of IOCFR50.55a(g) Inservice Inspection Requirements," termed a reduction in coverage of less than 10 percent to be "essentially 100 percent." IN 98-42 states, in part, "The NRC has adopted and further refined the definition of "essentially 100 percent" to mean "greater than 90 percent." This methodology has been applied to all examinations of welds or other areas required by ASME Section XI.
4. Impracticality of Compliance
to TXX-14103 Page 2 of 14 10CFR 50.55a Request Number B-13 Relief Requested In Accordance with 10CFR50.55a(g)(5)(iii)
- Inservice Inspection Impracticality -
The examination of the subject component weld is limited by the presence of four 24"x24" Steam Generator support pads and nineteen 2.5"x2.5" welded pads (See attached sketch).
The examinations were conducted in accordance with procedure TX-ISI-2 10, "Ultrasonic Examination Procedure for Welds in Ferritic Steel Vessels." Straight beam (0°) and angle beam (450 shear and 600 longitudinal) scans were used to achieve the weld volume obtained.
As shown on the attached examination data sheets the 00, 450, and 600 exam angles all achieved 77.5% examined. Therefore, this corresponds to a cumulative exam coverage of 77.5% of the required examination volume.
5. Burden Caused by Compliance
The design configuration restrictions of the subject component makes the Code required examination coverage requirements for the weld volume impractical. Plant modifications or replacements of components designed to allow for complete coverage would be needed to meet the Code requirements. This would cause considerable burden to CPNPP.
6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use
Proposed Alternative:
The following alternatives are proposed in lieu of the required examination coverage of essentially 100 percent:
- 1. Ultrasonic testing (UT) of the subject component weld was performed to the maximum extent practical during the second ten-year interval.
- 2. Pressure test VT-2 visual examinations were performed, as required by Code Category B-P, during the second ten-year interval. No evidence of leakage was identified for this component.
Basis for Use:
The basis for use of this alternative is that it provides the best examination coverage practical within the limitations of the current configuration. Based on the percentage of the examination volume completed and the lack of any indications identified, there is a high level of confidence in the continued structural integrity of the weld. CPNPP believes that there is no undue risk to the public health and safety presented by this request.
6. Duration of Proposed Alternative
