Relief Request RR-4-17

1. Subject VCSNS requires relief from Section XI requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. This request is based on the hardship of performing required ASME code repair/replacement activities to the downstream weld neck flange at valve XVB03121 B-SW. The pipe flange is an 8-inch Service Water (SW) discharge line from the B-Train Emergency Diesel Generator (EOG) heat exchangers. This safety-related flange is classified as ASME Code Class 3.

There are two previously identified leaks in the 'A' SW system and two previously identified leaks in the 'B' SW system. The leak which is the subject of this relief request is part of the 'B' SW train and is fifth leak in the SW system. For the effects on flow margin with respect to system operability, leakage from the two 'B' Train SW leaks are combined. The leak, which is the subject of this Relief Request, is in the Diesel Generator Building, whereas all previous leaks were in the Intermediate Building. For this reason, the flooding effects from the previous leaks are not considered in this evaluation. The effects of all five leaks are considered for the effects on SW pond inventory with respect to system operability.

The first pinhole leak was identified in the 'B' SW system under CR-18-02364 on June 9, 2018. This leak was discovered approximately 10 inches downstream of XVB03123B-SW, Component Cooling Water (CCW) Heat Exchanger 'B' SW Return Valve. This leak was temporarily accepted in accordance with the requirements of Code Case N-513-3. The station completed the augmented examination requirements Code Case N-513-3. All five locations were satisfactory.

The second pinhole leak in the 'B' SW system was identified under CR-18-02706 on July 2, 2018. This leak was discovered approximately 13. 75 inches downstream of the XVB03123B-SW CCW Heat Exchanger 'B' SW Return Valve. This leak is in a branch tee and was temporarily accepted via a relief request to use Code Case N-513-4. The station completed the augmented examination requirements Code Case N-513-4. All five locations were satisfactory.

The first pinhole leak on the 'A' SW system was identified under CR-18-02797 on July 10, 2018. This leak was discovered in the 'A' SW System on the branch tee connection downstream of XVB03123A-SW CCW Heat Exchanger 'A' SW Return Valve. During the Ultrasonic inspection of this flaw, a second flaw (non through-wall) was discovered 5.85 inches from the first flaw. The second flaw partially extends into the reinforced region of the branch tee. Both were temporarily accepted via a relief request to use Code Case N-513-4 and Generic Letter 90-05. The station completed the ten

Document Control Desk CR-18-03296 RC-18-0105 Page 2 of 6 augmented examination requirements of Code Case N-513-4 and Generic Letter 90-05.

All ten locations were satisfactory.

The second leak in the 'A' SW system was identified under CR-18-02857 on July 12, 2018. This leak was found in the region of the leak found on July 1O* 2018 . This flaw was bounded by the evaluation performed on the leak from July 10, 2018.

5. Reason for Request On August 13, 2018, at approximately 09 : 15, a pin hole leak was discovered approximately 0.75" downstream of XVB03121 B-SW Diesel Generator Cooler B SW Return Valve. The leak is spraying onto an adjacent wall and floor at approximately 20 ml/minute.

Document Control Desk Enclosure 1 CR-18-03296 RC-18-0105 Page 3 of 6 Code repair is considered a hardship without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. A Code repair would require a plant shutdown to replace the pipe flange. The flange is located between valve XVB03121 B-SW and the service water pond. The flange cannot be isolated from other portions of the service water system.

This degraded condition is not in compliance with ASME Section XI , 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda, IWA-4000.

6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4), this safety-related piping must meet the requirements applicable to components which are classified as ASME Code Class 3.

V.C. Summer proposes a relief request from ASME Code Section XI , IWA 4000 by allowing an alternative to Code Case N-513-3. A Code repair requires shut down of VCSNS Unit 1 to replace the piping flange. Given the limited risk associated with the condition of the flange, code repair is considered a hardship without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

In the application of code case N-513-3, the flaw being evaluated must fall within the scope of the document. This flaw meets all portions of the Section 1.0 scope with the exception of (C) where the flaw falls beyond the distance of (Ro*t) 11 0.5. A flaw evaluation using guidance from ASME Code Case N 513-3 and ASME BPVC, Section Ill, 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda determined the flaw was acceptable in its current configuration.

All other requirements of code case N-513-3 will be met. A compensatory action of daily walkdowns of the area will be completed to quantify the leakage. UT examinations of no more than 30 day intervals will be performed around the degraded area to monitor flaw growth. An augmented examination will be performed in accordance with Section 5 of Code Case N-513-3. A code compliant repair will be completed during the next refueling outage wh ich is scheduled to start on October 6, 2018. contains the evaluation of the acceptability of the through wall leak and the UT inspection results . The UT inspection results were obtained by a Quality Control inspector who was qualified as a UT Level II inspector.

Further degradation is acceptable as long as the average thickness of the remaining material outside the hole is greater than 0.046" within a diameter of 2.0" of the hole, leakage from the subject leak remains below 11.5 gpm, and total 'B' Train SW System leakage remains below 61 .8. GPM.

6.1 Flaw Characterization - The flaw has been classified as non-planar through wall and no evidence was found to indicate a "crack" type indication. The average thickness of the bounded flaw is 0.156" as determined from the UT measurements.

Document Control Desk Enclosure 1 CR-18-03296 RC-18-0105 Page 4 of 6 6.2 Structural Integrity - Per VCSNS Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) 4.0.5, the structural integrity of an ASME component is determined in accordance with either the original construction code or the ASME Section XI Code, approved code cases or regulatory-approved methods of evaluation. No NRC approved methodology exists that allows for temporary acceptance of flaws for this condition. This flaw meets all portions of the NRC conditionally approved code case N-513-3 with the exception of Section (C) of the scope section where the flaw falls beyond the distance of (Ro*t)A0.5. A flaw evaluation using guidance from ASME Code Case N-513-3 and ASME BPVC, Section Ill, 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda determined the flaw was acceptable in its current configuration. Design Calculation SW050/03 Rev. 0 "Through Wall Leak Evaluation" was conducted to evaluate the acceptability of the through wall leak. The evaluation results show the existing defect is structurally acceptable. Further degradation is acceptable as long as the average thickness of the remaining material outside the hole is greater than 0.046" within a diameter of 2.0" of the hole . See attached evaluation.

6.3 Flow Margin - The pin hole leak is located downstream of the 'B' Emergency Diesel Generator heat exchangers downstream of the discharge valve XVB031218-SW on the discharge line to the SW pond . Therefore, a leak at this location does not affect the ability to provide cooling water to the EOG heat exchangers. The current leakage from the pin hole which is approximately than 20 ml/minute. A conservative estimate of flow through a leak from a 0.375 inch diameter hole at 20 psig would be approximately 11.5 gpm. The SW pump is designed to supply 16,800 gpm of flow. A flow of 11.5 gpm from leakage on the 'B' Train would not have a significant effect on the performance of the pump .

There are also four separate SW pinhole leaks downstream of the A and B CCW Heat Exchanger Return Valves (XVB03123A/B-SW). The upper limit of allowable leakage for these leaks is 50 .3 gpm as defined in previous operability evaluations and associated relief requests. For this flow margin evaluation, it is assumed that all 50.3 gpm of leakage is from 'B' Train. This combined with the 11.5 gpm leakage downstream of the EOG Hx Return Valves would give a total of 61.8 gpm leakage from the SW System.

A recent routine code check valve test from STP-230.006J on the SW 'B' Train measured the total system flow to be 13,036 gpm (STTS# 1604423). The design minimum required post-accident flow for a train of SW is 12,237 gpm (SW DBD). This check valve testing alignment is comparable to the post-accident SW system alignment.

Therefore, there is a flow margin of approximately of 800 gpm. This is a conservative approach since the 61.8 gpm leak rate would be located downstream of all cooling loads and throttle valves. A postulated leakage of 61.8 gpm would not adversely affect SW system flow margin.

Document Control Desk Enclosure 1 CR-18-03296 RC-18-0105 Page 5 of 6 The SW pond contains approximately 38.5 x 1OA6 gallons of water and has the capability of being filled by a cross-tie valve from the circulating water system if water level drops below the alarm limit. A postulated leak of 61.8 gpm would not significantly affect the SW pond level.

6.4 Spray Concerns - The current small stream coming from the pin hole leak is directed toward the wall in the diesel building 427 foot elevation and is not currently adversely affecting any surrounding equipment. The leakage is oriented toward the wall and there is no active safety-related equipment that would be adversely impacted by the leakage. The system pressure is low at the defect location (20 psig or less), therefore, the only potential effect from the spray would be the open/close limit switches and the conduit/terminal box for the limit switches on XVB03121 B-SW. The valve limit switches are only used for position indication because XVB03121B-SW is a manual valve and no position change is required for the safety-related function. If it is assumed that the existing defect opens to a 0.375 inch diameter hole (for conservativism), the orientation and location of the leak would lead to the resulting spray deflecting off the wall and pooling on the flow prior to affecting any equipment in the vicinity of the valve excluding the limit switches and associated conduit/terminal box for XVB03121 B-SW. From visual observation, the closest equipment are the Diesel Generator Fuel Oil Transfer Pumps and these are approximately 15 feet away from the pin hole leak and on the other side of the valve. The spray would not have adequate velocity from the 3/8" hole at approximately 20 psig to adversely affect these components.

6.5 Flooding - Calculation DC03490-003 Rev 1 provides the DG building flooding evaluation. It assumes a 30 minute operator action and no floor drain capability or sump pump operation. The current leakage is negligible. If it is assumed that the existing defect opens to a 0.375 inch diameter hole (for conservativism), the discharge would be approximately 11.5 gpm (at design upset pressure of 20 psig for conservatism) and would increase the calculated flood level in the 400 foot elevation from 48.1 inches to 49 .0 inches after 30 minutes which continues to be an acceptable flood level. The level in the 427 foot elevation is unaffected since the curb heights limit the water level in this elevation and any water cascading above these curbs will drain to the 400 foot level.

Under normal operating conditions, the DG building sump pumps have a 40 gpm capacity each. There are two redundant 100% capacity sump pumps which can be used during normal plant operations. The water from the spray will collect at the floor near the pipe and drain to a nearby floor drain which goes to the Emergency Diesel Generator Building sump pumps. Therefore, DG building sump pumps would have sufficient capacity to prevent building flooding from the postulated 11.5 gpm leak rate.

6.6 Extent of Condition -An Augmented Examination will be implemented in accordance with Section 5 of Code Case N-513-3.

Document Control Desk Enclosure 1 CR-18-03296 RC-18-0105 Page 6 of 6 6.7 Compensatory Monitoring Plan - Operations will quantify the leakage from the pin hole leak at least once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> until the leak is repaired. UT examinations of no more than 30 day intervals will be performed around the degraded area to characterize flaw growth. The monitoring plan will remain in place until the system is removed from service and repaired.

6.8 Conclusion - Although the structural integrity of the degraded flange cannot be demonstrated in accordance with a regulatory-approved methodology, it is concluded the integrity and functional requirements of the flange will be maintained. SW will continue to be capable of providing required cooling water flow to meet the required cooling loads including the EOG HXs. There will be no adverse impact on neighboring f equipment due to either spray or flooding. VCSNS will implement the compensatory monitoring plan above to ensure any growth of the flaw is identified and assessed for its impact on structural integrity. A code compliant repair will be completed during the next refueling outage which is scheduled to start on October 6, 2018.

7. Duration of Proposed Alternative:

A code compliant repair will be completed during the next refueling outage which is scheduled to start on October 6, 2018. Therefore, the duration of the proposed alternative is approximately 2 months until repaired during the outage.

EVALUATION A leak was discovered in the weld neck flange downstream of valve XVB03121B-SW in the Service Water Piping System. A similar leak was previously evaluated in the weld neck flange downstream of valve XVB03121A-SW in SW050/02 (Reference 7).

The piping was reviewed for minimum pipe wall thickness using hoop stress and longitudinal stress. This is documented in EIR 82492 (Reference 8). The results of the minimum wall thickness calculation determined that the hoop stress is bounding and the minimum wall thickness is 0.019" at the weld neck flange. The weld neck flange is tapered with the weld neck increasing in thickness towards the back facing (Reference 9). The wall thickness calculations utilize the thinner attached pipe dimensions (8" Sch. 40) with a conservative design pressure of 65 psi. The allowable stress used in the minimum wall thickness calculation is based on the piping SA 106 Gr. B material which is bounding vs. the flange material of SA 105. These considerations ensure the evaluation is conservative.

The flaw will be evaluated utilizing the ASME Code Case N-513-3 (Reference 2) and must fall within the scope of the requirements listed in Section 1 of N-513-3. The flaw meets the requirement of the Section 1.0 Scope of N-513-3 with the exception of (c) where the flaw is beyond the distance of (Ro*t)"0.5 from the pipe to flange weld centerline. Therefore a subsequent relief request will be required by Licensing.

TECHNICAL WORK RECORD SERIAL NG46186 ENGINEER Nathan Gl unt DATE 8/ 13/ 2018 PROJECT TITLE SWOS0/03, Rev. 0 SYSTEM SW PAGE 4of4 Continuing forward with Section 2, "Procedure", of N-513-3 (Reference 2):

(a) The flaw geometry has been characterized and is included in Attachment 2.

(b) The flaw is classified as Non-Planar Through Wall. Attachment 2 does not suggest there is a "crack" type indication . The flaw is identified as a "pinhole" leak with a localized thinned region .

(c) There is only a single flaw identified and the remaining pipe wall and weld are nominal.

(d) Flaw Evaluation shall be performed - See Attachment 1 (e) Frequent periodic inspections of no more than 30 day intervals shall be used to determine if the flaw is growing and determine a timeframe as which the flaw may be no longer acceptable. This method is recommended over using a flaw growth evaluation due to the nature of the erosion which is difficult to predict (Reference 10).

(f) This calculation does not include an evaluation of the effects of the water spray. That is outside of the scope of this evaluation.

(g) The results provided are the limit of the flaw size. Any further growth would have to be reanalyzed.

(h) Per the NRC stipulations for the use of N-513-3, a repair must be made at the next outage.

(i) This evaluation and the UT examination are documented in accordance with IWA-6300. Licensing is requesting an emergency relief request in order to apply the N-513-3 code case in the weld neck flange beyond the provisions of Section (1) , Paragraph (c) of Code Case N-513-3.

Outside of the scope of this calculation , augmented volumetric examination or physical measurement to assess degradation of the affected system shall be performed to identify and detect other susceptible flaw locations per N-513-3.

RESULTS The through wall flaw is acceptable. Further degradation is acceptable as long as the average thickness of the remaining material is greater than 0.046 inches, within a diameter of 2 inches. Note that the average thickness is 0.156 inches as determined from the UT measurements recorded in Attachment 2.

Daily walkdowns of the area are recommended to ensure any spray evaluations are still valid. This calculation is only applicable for the duration up until the next refueling outage (RF24, Fall 2018), where the flaw must be repaired.
