l Over the final two-thirds of the cycle, there appears to have been a small increase in the j | |||
leak rate to about 0.5 gpd. (Quantification of a change this small is uncertain since a change in the secondary make-up rate will change the primary-to-secondary tritium equilibrium and the make-up rate measurement is not very precise.) Higher leak rate values were calculated when the primary tritium concentration significantly decreased due to a down power, but they are not valid since the primary and secondary tritium concentrations were no longer in equilibrium. We are confident the actual leak rate never exceeded a fraction of a gallon per day. Primary-to-secondary leakage integrity was very good right up to the end of the cycle. | |||

@Asife 512 972 8179 P.02/06 NRC PHONE DISCUSSION -1RE08 STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTION RESULTS APRIL 12,1999 j
1.
Primary to Secondary leakage prior to shutdown.
STP 1RE08 - Leak rate during the just-completed Uriit 1 Cycle B was a fraction of a gallon per day (see attached graph). Calculated leak rate with stable tritium I
concentration in the primary was less than 0.25 gpd during the first third of the cycle.
l Over the final two-thirds of the cycle, there appears to have been a small increase in the j
leak rate to about 0.5 gpd. (Quantification of a change this small is uncertain since a change in the secondary make-up rate will change the primary-to-secondary tritium equilibrium and the make-up rate measurement is not very precise.) Higher leak rate values were calculated when the primary tritium concentration significantly decreased due to a down power, but they are not valid since the primary and secondary tritium concentrations were no longer in equilibrium. We are confident the actual leak rate never exceeded a fraction of a gallon per day. Primary-to-secondary leakage integrity was very good right up to the end of the cycle.
2.
Results of secondary side hydro.
i STP 1RE08 - STP does not routinely perform secondary side hydros during steam generator inspections. Eddy current testing of tubes and visualinspection of previously installed plugs are employed to ensure primary-to-secondary integrity.
I in this outage, all plugs were visually examined for signs of leakage. No defective plugs were identified.
3.
For each SG, provide a general description of areas examined, include expansion criteria and specify type of probe used in each area.
STP 1RE08 -This was the third STP Unit 1 inspection where the voltage-based repair criteria was applied. Also, this was the first Unit 1 inspection where NEl 97-06 was formally implemented. The Inspection Plan was as follows:
- 100% bobbin fulllength -(except for Row 1 & 2 U-bend).
- 100% H/1. Top-of tubesheet by RPC.
~43% C/L Top-of-tubesheet by RPC in SGs 1 A and 1B only.
e Expansion Criteria: Inspect 100% in SGs with crack indications; 20% in SGs 10 &
1D. (No expansion was required.)
100% Row 1 & 2 (small radius) U-bend by + Point.
=
100% of freespan dings >5 volts by + Point.
100% of tubesheet region, full depth, for hot leg wavy tubes by RPC.

location, number, degradation mode, disposition, and voltages / depths / lengths of l
the most significant indications.
STP 1RE08 - The only bobbin indications not examined with RPC or + Point are as i
follows:
DSls less than 1 voit (per valtage-based repair criteria) e i
MBMs that are unchanged from the baseline & Dings 5 volts and under (bobbin is qualified to detect axialindications through five voit dings).

Describe repair / plugging plans.
STP 1RE08 - All defects will be plugged; no sleeving will be performed this outage. See inspection Results Table above. Plugging will commence shortly.
8.
Discuss previous history; "look backs" performed.
STP 1RE08 - Look backs performed on all freespan DNis (dings with possible flaw indications) & freespan NQls (non-quantifiable indications), to confirm no change from the baseline.
7.
Discuss new inspection findings.
STP 1RE08 - No new degradation mechanisms identified.
8.
Describe in-situ pressure test plans and results, if available; include tube selection criteria.
STP 1 RE08 - In-situ test plans were developed for all active and potential damage I
mechanisms. There were no defects in SGs 1 A or 1B which challenged structural integrity criterla; however, one or more circumferential indications in SG 10 may require in-situ pressure testing. This will be discussed in the NEl 97-06 Tube Integrity Assessment to be issued following the outage. No proof pressure test candidates have been identified to date among the axial or volumetric indications.

Describe tube pull plans and preliminary results, if available; include tube selection criteria.
STP 1RE08 - No tubes pulled. (reference letter to NRC from Steve Thomas dated 8/18/98-NOC-AE-000258) 10.
Assessment of tube integrity for previous operating cycle.
STP 1RE08 - Assuming favorable results from in-situ testing (if required) tube integrity appears to have been satisfactory during the preceding cycle. A preliminary evaluation against the NEl 97-06 performance criteria will be made prior to start-up, and a final Condition Monitoring Assessment will be documented in the NEl 97-06 Tube integrity Assessment Summary to be submitted following the outage.

Question 4 Response, first bullet - Added "or equal to" to agree with STP Tech Specs l
Question 4 Response, Probable Degradation Modes Table -
> Deleted " Preliminary" from' the introductory phrase.
> Changed Title to past tense; spelled out " Probable"in column heading.
> Adjusted classification definitions for two categories: "H/L TTS Axial PWSCC" became "H/L TTS & F" Distance Axial PWSCC" while "HL PWSCC in Tubesheet - Axial" became "H/L PWSCC in Tubesht - Wavy Tubes". Because of this change, counts in SG1A changed in
)
these categories. Also, since this leaves no category into which F" tubes would otherwise fall, Note 3 was deleted (i.e., changed to a bullet following the table).
l
> Spelled out " Volumetric" wherever it appeared in this table.
l
> Corrected the TSP ODSCC count in SG 1C from 20 to 19 per plugging list.
> Updated the "C/L Freespan Axial ODSCC @ Ding" counts for SGs 1C & 1D per plugging list j
and made the title of this category more complete by adding "@ Ding." Added Note 5 to j
explain double counting of the two tubes with two pluggable defects.
l
> Updated the "C/L Freespan Other @ Ding" count for SG 1C per plugging list and made the title of this degradation mode more complete by adding "@ Ding."
> Updated the "C/L Freespan Volumetric" count for SG 1C per plugging list. Added Note 5 to l
explain double counting of the two tubes with two pluggable defects.
> Deleted the U-bend freespan Volumetric category, as it was determined that this indicati-was not a defect.
> Made the title of the "H/L Freespan Axial ODSCC @ Ding" category more complete by j
adding "@ Ding."
> Updated the "H/L Freespan Volumetric" count for SG 10 per plugging list.
> Updated the Total Defective tube counts per the above. Added Note 5 to explain double 4
counting of the two tubes with two pluggable defects.
I
> Added category to capture the preventive plugging of one tube in SG 1A due to the
)
recommendation of the Owner's Level til stemming from his oversight review.
> Updated the " Permeability" category count for SG 1D per plugging list. Deleted Note 3, since F* does not apply to preventive plugging.
> Updated the " Total Plugged" counts per the above.
> Revised definition of TTS to clarify that this designation refers specifically to the expansion transition.
Question 4 Response, NOTE 1 - Updated to reflect completion of final plugging list.
Question 4 Response, NOTE 3 - Deleted; explained above.

I NRC PHONE DISCUSSION - 1RE08 STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTION RESULTS APRIL 1999 1.
Primary to Secondary leakage prior to shutdown.
STP 1RE08 - Leak rate during the just-completed Unit 1 Cycle 8 was a fraction of a gallon per day (see attached graph). Calculated leak rate with stable tritium concentration in the primary was less than 0.25 gpd during the first third of the cycle.
Over the final two-thirds of the cycle, there appears to have been a small increase in the leak rate to about 0.5 gpd. (Quantification of a change this small is uncertain since a change in the secondary make-up rate will change the primary-to-secondary tritium equilibrium and the make-up rate measurement is not very precise.) Higher leak rate values were calculated when the primary tritium concentration significantly decreased due to a down-power, but they are not valid since the primary and secondary tritiurn concentrations were no longer in equilibrium. We are confident the actual leak rate never exceeded a fraction of a gallon per day. Primary-to-secondary leakage integrity was very good right up to the end of the cycle.
2.
Results of secondary side hydro.
STP 1RE08 - STP does not routinely perform secondary side hydros during steam generator inspections. Eddy current testing of tubes and visual inspection of previously installed plugs are employed to ensure primary-to-secondary integrity, in this outage, all plugs were visually examined for signs ofleakage. No defective plugs were identified.
3.
For each SG, provide a general description of areas examined, include expansion criteria and specify type of probe used in each area.
STP 1RE08 -This was the third STP Unit 1 inspection where the voltage-based repair criteria was applied. Also, this was the first Unit 1 inspection where NEl 97-06 was formally implemented. The Inspection Plan was as follows:
100% bobbin full length (except for Row 1 & 2 U-bend).
100% H/L Top-of-tubesheet by RPC.
. ~43% C/L Top-of-tubasheet by RPC in SGs 1 A and 18 only.
Expansion Criteria: Inspect 100% in SGs with crack indications; 20% in SGs 1C &
1D. (No expansion was required.)
100% Row 1 & 2 (small radius) U-bend by + Point.
100% of freespan dings >5 volts by + Point.
100% of tubesheet region, full depth, for hot leg wavy tubes by RPC.

location, number, degradation mode, disposition., and voltages / depths / lengths of the most significant Indications.
STP 1RE08 -The only bobbin indications not examined with RPC or + Point are as follows:
i DSis less than or equal to i volt (per voltage-based repair criteria)
MBMs that are unchanged from the baseline & Dings 5 volts and under (bobbin is qualified to detect axial indications through five volt dings).
AVB wear indications (Note that a 20% sample of AVB wear indications was examined by + Point. Note also that all Preheater wear indications were examined by
+ Point.)

Voltags-Bised R2piir Critaris inform tion:
~1268 tubes with DSI indications were left in service with bobbin voltage below the lower voltage repair limit (1.0 Volt). Final data to be provided in 90 day report.
One indication exceeded the upper voltage repair limit (4.0 Volts this inspection) and was plugged. (Bobbin voltage was 4.50 Volts and it did confirm.) When reviewed for analysis per Generic Letter 95-05, it was resized to 3.77 Volts. ~57 other indications exceeded the lower voltage repair limit, of which 39 indications (in 38 tubes) were confirmed by RPC and were plugged.
No PWSCC @ TSPs, no cire cracks @ TSPs, no axialindications extending outside the TSP were detected.
Conditional Burst Probability & End-of-Next-Cycle (EONC) Leakage calculations were completed per Generic Letter 95-05. The highest calculated End-of-Cycle 9 d
conditional burst probability was 2.0 x 10 in SG 1A, well below the limit of 1.0 x 10 2, The highest End-of-Cycle 9 SLB leak rate (room temperature) was 0.019 gpm in SG 1C, well below the limit of 15.4 gpm.
5.
Describe repair / plugging plans.
STP 1RE08 - All defects were plugged; no sleeving was performed this outage. See inspection Results Table above. Plugging is complete.
6.
Discuss previous history; "look backs" performed.
STP 1RE08 - Look backs performed on all freespan DNis (dings with possible flaw indications) & freespan NQls (non-quantifiable indications), to confirm no change from the baseline.
7.
Discuss new inspection findings.
STP 1RE08 - Circumferential indications at dings in freespan locations were identified for the first time at dTP (either unit) in this inspection. These indications were discussed in the phone call of 4/12/99. Two such indications had been identified at the time of the call.
During the phone call, the NRC recommended that STP base its conclusions on a 20%
sample of dings. STP adopted this recommendation, and further inspection was performed to achieve a 20% ding inspection. One additional circumferential indication was identified for a total of three. All three were pressure tested to the maximum pressure capacity of the test eo Sment (5000 psig), then re-examined by eddy current
(+ point). There was no leakt ;.4 during any of the pressure tests, and there was no apprent change in the post-pressure test eddy current signal. The circumferential sign als identified were as follows:
S ", C - R37C55 at ~14.2" below the top TSP on the cold leg side (11C)
!.:G C - R42C68 at ~6.6" below the top TSP on the cold leg side (11C) l SG D - R43C42 at ~2.1" below the top TSP on the cold leg side (11C) 1 3
E f)
Had the indicatlans represented circumfarantill cracks of significant siza, tha prassura exerted on the tube during the pressure test would have caused the crack to open up, and the eddy current signal would have been changed in the post-pressure test examination.
8.
Describe in situ pressure test plans and results, if available; include tube selection criteria.
STP 1RE08 - In-situ test plans / selection criteria were developed for all active and potential damage mechanisms prior to the outage. Also, during the outage, it was decided to pressure test all freespan circumferential indications to the maximum pressure capacity of the test rig. End cap loading was applied in all proof tests of circumferential indications, and in allleak tests.
The following pressure tests were conducted:
Cold leg freespan circumferential indications at dings:
> SG10, R42C68 -leak tested with no leakage; pressure proof tested with bladder to 5000 psig with no burst; post-test + point signal unchanged.
> SG10, R37C55 -leak tested with no leakage, pressure proof tested without bladder to 5000 psig with no burst; post-test + point signal unchanged.
> SG1D, R43C42-leak tested with no leakage, pressure proof tested without bladder to 5000 psig with no burst; post-test + point signal unchanged.
Circumferential OD indication at the hot leg roll transition:
> SG1C, R28C57-leak tested with no leakage; pressure proof tested with bladderwith no burst.
Axial OD cold leg freespan indications at dings:
> SG10, R40C74 -leak tested with no leakage; pressure proof tested with bladder with no burst.
> SG1C, R37C43 -leak tested with no leakage.
> SG1D, R22C15 -leak tested with no leakage.
> SG1D, R32C39 - leak tested with no leakage.
9.
Describe tube pull plans and preliminary results, if available; include tube selection criteria.
STP 1RE08 - No tubes pulled. (reference letter to NRC from Steve Thomas dated 8/18/98 - NOC-AE-000258) 10.
