10 CFR 50.55a RELIEF REQUEST Revision 0 (Page 1of6)
Proposed Alternative to Use Code Case N-879 in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1)
- 1. ASME Code Component(s) Affected:
All ASME Class 2 and 3 carbon steel piping systems Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) 2 and smaller. Note that Case N-879 is also applicable to Class 1 piping; however, Exelon is not requesting permission to use Case N-879 for Class 1 fittings. This request applies only to Class 2 and 3 fittings.

- 3. Applicable Code Requirements:
ASME Code, Section Ill, NC/ND-2121 (a), of the 1971 Edition through the 2017 Edition, provides requirements for materials to be used in Class 2 and 3 piping systems. This requirement is mandated by IWA-4220, of the ASME Section XI Edition and Addenda applicable to each nuclear power plant. Exelon has determined that relief is not needed from ASME Code 831.1 and 831.7.
10 CFR 50.55a RELIEF REQUEST Revision 0 (Page 2 of 6)
4. Reason for Request
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1 ), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) is requesting a proposed alternative from the ASME Section Ill, NC/ND-2121 (a) requirements for compliance with the specifications for material given in ASME Section II, Part D (previously Section Ill, Division 1, Appendix I, Tables 1-1.1, 1-7.1, and 1-8.1 ), Subpart 1, Table 1A, for ferrous materials, on the basis that Code Case N-879 provides an acceptable level of quality and safety, equivalent to compliance with the requirements of ASME Section Ill, NC/ND-2121 (a) and Section II, Part D Subpart 1, Table 1A, for ferrous materials.
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, NC/ND-2121 (a).
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, during welding, and nondestructive examination (NOE) of the 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: 1 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 fittings to be designed and manufactured in accordance with the original Construction Code, which, for these specific applications, is ASME Section Ill. The only ASME Code requirement for which Exelon is seeking an alternative is that of ASME Section Ill, NC/ND-2121 (a), which requires compliance with the specifications for material given in ASME Section II, Part D (previously Section Ill, Division 1, Appendix I, Tables 1-1.1, 1-7.1, and 1-8.1 ), Subpart 1, Table 1A, for ferrous materials.
The requested alternative is provided in 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,"
which permits use of a micro-alloyed steel composition similar to that of ASME SA-675 and ASTM A 576 Grade 1524, with additions of carbon, manganese, vanadium, and nitrogen, to increase the yield strength to 80 ksi, to ensure a high-strength, leak-tight, mechanical joint.
The material meets all other requirements of ASME Section II, Part A, SA-675. It has chemical composition similar to ASME SA-737, Grade C, which is approved for use in ASME Section Ill applications. The additional material strength ensures that the 1 Responds to NRC Question 4 (Reference 1).
10 CFR 50.55a RELIEF REQUEST Revision 0 (Page 3 of 6) 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 2 and 3 systems NPS 2 or smaller.
The material described in Code Case N-879 is already permitted to be used in safety-related pipe fittings manufactured in accordance with ASME B31.1, paragraph 123.1.2.
This material is 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, in the 1971 Edition through the 2017 Edition. However, for piping systems in nuclear power plants for which Section Ill was used for construction, the applicable material requirements in NB/NC/ND-2121 do not address, or specifically permit, use of this material in fittings other than instrument lines up to NPS 1.
Section Ill does not require fracture toughness testing for this material, because tubular products of the desired size are too small and too thin to make fracture toughness test specimens. Nonetheless, this material has been impact tested in bar form. The fracture toughness values are attached in Enclosure 1. The results demonstrate that fracture toughness testing is not necessary, and that the increase in hardness in the HAZ is minimal. Lokring imposes a maximum tensile strength of 130 ksi. 2 P-Numbers for welding procedure and performance qualification are normally provided by ASME Section IX. Because this material is not a standard product and is used only in limited applications, the Section IX committee has not been requested to provide a P-Number. Section IX, QW-420 identifies that P-Numbers are provided for the purpose of reducing the number of welding qualifications required, but are not necessary. Materials not having a P-Number are required to be qualified separately. Separate qualifications have been performed for this material welded to P-No. 1 piping materials, such as SA-106 Grade B. 3 The filler material is that most applicable to welding of SA-106 Grade B pipe, such as ER70. 4 Any welds will be preheated to 70°F and will not be post-weld heat treated.
Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is undesirable, as it decreases the yield strength to the point that the fittings would not be able to resist the compression forces necessary to produce a leak-tight joint. 5 A typical welding procedure and results of welding qualifications are shown in Enclosure 2. There is minimal heat-affected-zone hardening and no evidence of martensite formation in the HAZ. A metallurgical test report, with photomicrographs, is shown in Enclosure 3. HAZ hardness testing results are shown in Enclosure 4. Bend tests have been demonstrated to meet ASME Section IX requirements as shown in Enclosure 2.

10 CFR 50.55a RELIEF REQUEST Revision 0 (Page 4 of 6) and Summer 1979 Addenda. At Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, several new post-TMI modifications were designed to add systems constructed using the 1977 Edition of Section Ill, including the Summer 1978 Addenda. 6 Exelon desires to be able to install fittings made using the material permitted by Code Case N-879 for any application in which plain carbon steel materials, such as SA-106 Grade 8 are used, subject to the NPS 2 size limitation of Code Case N-879. However, the typical applications in which the subject proprietary fittings will be used are generally limited to instrumentation, sampling, and cooling water piping lines. They exclude Class 1 systems and any systems containing boric acid. Design temperatures may be up to 650°F, but will generally be less than 200°F. Design pressures could be as high as 1000 psi, but will generally be less than 200 psi. The environmental conditions are anything in the nuclear power plant environment, including air, water, or steam systems, and possibly lube oil or fuel systems. They could be inside or outside containment. Prior operating experience for these fittings in these environments have shown successful performance, with no leaks or structural failures, as long as they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. They have been successfully used in pipe schedules from 10 to 160, subject to the manufacturer's recommendations and limitations.7 The material addressed in Code Case N-879 is somewhat unique in that it will be used in fittings designed and qualified by testing, rather than by calculating stresses. Due to the complex shape of the fittings, calculating stresses is not practical. For this reason, 831.1 and Section Ill contain provisions for proving the capability of such fittings by testing.
These requirements do not include design margins or load combinations based on allowable stresses.8 Rather, the margins are based on the ratio between burst pressure and the design pressure of the coupled piping. The rated pressure is downrated from the burst pressure, based on elevated-temperature tensile testing. The results of these tests are shown in Enclosure 5.
The proprietary fittings that Exelon desires to use are designed in accordance with ASME Section Ill, N8-3671.7, "Sleeve Coupled and Other Patented Joints," using the option of prototype testing. The fittings will also comply with similar requirements in ASME 831.1, paragraph 123.1.2.9 All fittings sizes will be tested prior to installation.
The fittings Exelon desires to use have been extensively tested by Exelon and Lokring to demonstrate that the fittings will not fail before the pipe on which they are installed. The fittings have been tested by tensile (pull-out) testing, pressurization to burst, fatigue testing, and torsion testing. Fatigue analysis is not required for the requested applications, but is performed for the purpose of establishing a stress intensification factor (SIF), for use by the piping system designer. 10 6 Responds to NRC Question 1 (Reference 1).

Reconciliation and use of editions and addenda of ASME Section Ill 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 other editions or addenda is approved.
All other ASME Section XI requirements for which relief was not specifically requested and authorized by the NRC Staff will remain applicable, including third party review by the Authorized Nuclear lnservice Inspector. All other Section Ill requirements, other than NC/ND-2121, will also remain applicable.
Based on the above, use of Code Case N-879 provides an acceptable level of quality and safety when compliance with the ASME Section Ill requirements for material given in ASME Section II, Part D (previously Section Ill, Division 1, Appendix I, Tables 1-1 .1, 1-7.1, and 1-8.1 ),
Subpart 1, Table 1A, for ferrous materials are mandatory.
Code Case N-879 was approved by the ASME Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards on May 10, 2017, and was published in ASME Nuclear Code Cases, 2017 Edition, Supplement 1. It has not yet been incorporated into NRC Regulatory Guide 1.84, "Design, Fabrication, and Materials Code Case Acceptability, ASME Section Ill," 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.
