Subject:
Proposed Alternative to Utilize Code Case N-879 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(2), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) is requesting a proposed alternative to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, "Rules for lnservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," on the basis that compliance with the code results in hardship without a compensating increase in quality. Specifically, this proposed alternative concerns the use of Code Case N-879, "Use of Micro-Alloyed Carbon Steel Bar in Patented Mechanical Joints and Fittings, Classes 1, 2, and 3 Section Ill, Division 1." This Code Case allows the use of a material that does not comply with the limitations on material specifications and grades mandated by ASME Section Ill. A separate relief request being submitted under a separate cover, requests approval of Code Cases N-878 and N-880 to allow the procurement of material from a material supplier that does not possess ASME accreditation as a Quality System Certificate Holder or an NPT Certificate Holder.
There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter. Exelon requests your review and approval of this fleet request by May 30, 2019.
If you have any questions, please contact Tom Loomis (610) 765-5510.
Respectfully, Director - Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Exelon Generation Company, LLC

3. Applicable Code Requirement
ASME Code, Section Ill, NB/NC/ND-2121 (a), of the 1971 Edition through the 2017 Edition, provides requirements for materials to be used in Class 1, 2, and 3 piping systems.
4. Reason for Request
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(2), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) is requesting a proposed alternative from the ASME Section Ill, NB/NC/ND-2121 (a) requirements for compliance with the specifications for material given in ASME Section II, Part D (previously Section 111, Division 1, Appendix I), Subpart 1, Tables 1A, 18, 2A or 28, as applicable, on the basis that compliance with code results in hardship without a compensating increase in quality.
Exelon desires to use nonstandard, proprietary, welded or nonwelded pipe fittings in applications requiring compliance with ASME Section Ill, without having to comply with the limitations on material specifications and grades mandated by Section Ill. Compliance with the ASME Code results in additional critical path time, cost, and radiation exposure that can be avoided through use of the code case.
Code Case N-879 ("Use of Micro-Alloyed Carbon Steel Bar in Patented Mechanical Joints and Fittings, Classes 1, 2, and 3 Section Ill, Division 1,") permits use of a micro-alloyed steel composition similar to that of ASME SA-675 and ASTM A 576 Grade 1524, with additions of vanadium and nitrogen, to enhance the strength needed to ensure a high-strength, leak-tight mechanical joint. The additional strength ensures that the deformation produced during installation of the fittings occurs in the pipe material, rather than in the fitting material. It is this deformation that produces the stresses necessary for the joint structural and leak-tight integrity.
This Code Case will expand Exelon's ability to use these proprietary fittings in safety-related piping, by including coverage for ASME Section Ill, Class 1, 2, and 3 systems NPS 2 or smaller. These provisions may also be used for installation of these fittings in 831.7 Class 1, 2, and 3 piping NPS 2 or smaller.
10 CFR 50.55a RELIEF REQUEST Revision o (Page 3 of 4)
These fittings are already permitted to be used in safety-related piping constructed in accordance with ASME 831.1. These fittings are also already permitted to be used in compression-type fittings in ASME Section Ill, Class 1, 2, and 3 instrument lines, up to NPS 1, in accordance with NB/NC/ND-2121 (f) in the Winter 1972 Addenda through Winter 1973 Addenda, and NB/NC/ND-2121 (d) through the 2017 Edition.
Most piping fabrication and installation joints have been traditionally fabricated by welding.
Installation of pipe and piping subassemblies by mechanical means can save significant amounts of time, money, critical path time, and radiation exposure to plant personnel and installation and examination contractors. In systems containing radioactive materials, or in systems near irradiated components, personnel can be subjected to significant amounts of radiation during preparation for welding, welding, and nondestructive examination (NDE) of welds. Most of this exposure can be eliminated by use of mechanical connections. The amount of time to which mechanical installation personnel are exposed is a fraction of the time to which a welder or a nondestructive examiner would be exposed. Without installation welds, there is no associated installation NOE.
- 5. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use:
Exelon proposes to implement the requirements of Code Case N-879 for procurement of nonstandard, proprietary welded and nonwelded pipe fittings NPS 2 or smaller.
ASME Section XI requires the fittings to be designed and manufactured in accordance with the original Construction Code, which, for these applications, is ASME Section Ill. These fittings are typically designed in accordance with ASME Section Ill, NB-3671.7, "Sleeve Coupled and Other Patented Joints," using the option of prototype testing. Alternatively, NC/ND-3671.7 may be used for Class 2 or 3 fittings, as applicable.
Reconciliation and use of editions and addenda of ASME Section 111 will be in accordance with ASME Section XI, IWA-4220, and only editions and addenda of ASME Section Ill that have been accepted by 10 CFR 50.55a may be used. The Code of Record for the specific 10-year ISi interval at each nuclear unit as identified under Section 2 above, will be used when applying the requirements of Section XI, unless specific regulatory relief to use of other editions or addenda is approved.
All other ASME Section XI requirements for which relief was not specifically requested and authorized by the NRG Staff will remain applicable, including third party review by the Authorized Nuclear lnservice Inspector.
Without the use of this Case in some situations, outage times could be increased, and plant and contractor personnel will receive significantly higher radiation doses, due to longer exposure times in the vicinity of the piping joint installation.
Based on the above, use of Code Case N-879 applies when compliance with the ASME Section Ill requirement for compliance with the specifications for material given in ASME Section II, Part D (previously Section Ill, Division 1, Appendix I), Subpart 1, Tables 1A, 18, 2A or 28, as applicable, would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
10 CFR 50.55a RELIEF REQUEST Revision 0 (Page 4 of 4)
Code Case N-879 was approved by the ASME Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards on May 10, 2017. It has not yet been incorporated into NRC Regulatory Guide 1.147, "lnservice Inspection Code Case Acceptability, ASME Section XI, Division 1," and thus is not available for application at nuclear power plants without specific NRC approval. Therefore, Exelon requests use of the alternative material requirements described in this Code Case via this relief request.
- 6. Duration of Proposed Alternative:
The proposed alternative is for use of the Case for the remainder of each plant's 10-year inspection interval as specified in Section 2 and for the remainder of the plant's life.
- 7. Precedent:
None
