Roadmap Development

--Overview Roadmap development generated based on component size/materials

- This distinction avoids complications associated with addressing components on individual basis Three Roadmaps considered:

1. Primary pressure boundary (Class 1) components
2. Reactor internals
3. Other components (Obsolete parts, Classes 2 &3, etc.)

www.epri.com © 2021 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved. 24

1. Primary Pressure Boundary (Class 1) Roadmap Roadmap includes an initial sizing study to identify candidate components

- Many large LWR Class 1 components exceed limitations of certain AMTs. 16 BWR Feedwater Inlet Nozzle (LAS)

Developments identified are specific to: size groups/processes/materials

- Larger Class 1 components can be manufacture using PM-HIP Demonstration pieces of LWR components already produced 316L already accepted by ASME, but other alloys require qualification testing and ASME approval

- Smaller Class 1 components may be produced by DED-AM or Powder Bed-AM Process development, qualification testing, ASME approval shown Few Class 1 components candidates for Powder Bed AM (size limitation) www.epri.com © 2021 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved. 25

2. Reactor Internals Roadmap Internals Roadmap generally follows similar pattern set for Class 1

- Up front sizing study Some significant differences:

- No low alloy steel components

- Fuel Hardware and Control Rod Drive components (unique shapes and materials)

- High strength Ni-base alloys and cobalt-free alloys Interaction with ASME is limited for Internals Roadmap

- Only core support structures require ASME approval

- Interaction with NRC may be required for some Safety Related Internals

- Other internals: free to use ASTM, AMS, etc. or no standard at all (a potential case for fuel hardware or control rod drive components) www.epri.com © 2021 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved. 29

TG Charter

  • TG determined Process specific Advanced Manufacturing (AM) methods should be limited to a selected scope achievable for 2023.
  • TG did not want to miss the next publication cycle due to an excessive scope which was not supportable by current resources.

39

AM Specific Methods

  • TG Identified and evaluated the status of current Code actions, supporting AM, to identify the specific methods for the TG to address for 2023.

- Powdered Metal/Hot Isostatic Pressing (PM/HIP)

- Direct Energy Deposition Gas Metal Arc Additive Manufacturing (DED-GMAAM)

- Laser Powdered Bed Fusion (LPBF) - Evaluated and held for the 2025 Edition 40

Topics required to be addressed by the TG to address for incorporation of AM into BPV III

  • Where to place the requirements in Section III, (New Article, New Section, Appendix)
  • How to handle the AM items as a new Product Form(s)
  • Evaluate the use of existing product form data as support of AM product form
  • Appendix to Address Specific: QA Requirements, Material Requirements, Fabrication Requirements, NDE Requirements 41

Philosophy for AM Incorporation into Section III:

Section III, Article 2000 to support AM Product Form and reference Mandatory Appendix for AM rules:

42

PM/HIP

  • Structure incorporation of PM/HIP based upon approved Code Case N-834 ASTM A988/A988M-11 UNS S31603
  • We are Currently focused on alloy 316L as represented in CC N-834 supporting utilization in Section III
  • Expanding scope to include additional alloys in the initial release of this Appendix would likely negatively impact incorporation into 2023 due to scope creep
  • The Appendix will be expanded to incorporate additional alloys following current Code rules for new materials
  • Industry to drive the prioritization of which alloys are incorporated 43

Directed Energy Deposition - DED

  • Selected DED-GMAAM as the 1st DED Process to be incorporated
  • Structure incorporation of GMAAM based upon approved Section IX Code Case 3020
  • GMAAM selected as it is an extension of current industry experience. Welds and weld metal build up technology with decades of demonstrated in-service experience.

44

Quality Assurance

  • Intend to incorporate NCA-4200/-4300 (Material Organization) quality requirements as criteria as these standards have already been accepted for other product forms and processes.
