1. PROJECT TITLE Technical Assistance to Review American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Case and Licensee Relief Requests for Carbon Fiber Repairs

2. BACKGROUND The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel (ASME) Code is currently developing an ASME Code Case to use carbon fiber to repair ASME Code Class II and III piping at US Nuclear Power Plants. The ASME Code is developing requirements for the use of carbon fiber for the first time for use by the ASME Code for nuclear plant application.

The current version of the draft code case is over 80 pages long, detailing in significant technical detail the requirements for material specification, qualification, design, fabrication, installation, evaluation and testing. The NRC expects relief requests to implement a carbon fiber repair within the next year. Additionally, the NRC will review the proposed ASME Code Case on carbon fiber repair for inclusion into the US Code of Federal Regulations.

3.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVE(S)

This task order is organized into two parts: the Basic task order is comprised of Tasks 1 and 2.

The CLIN is comprised of Task 3.

Basic task order Objective - (Tasks 1 and 2): the Contractor shall provide expert analysis and review of the draft ASME Code Case on carbon fiber repair. The Contractors review will be used to support endorsement, rejection or any potential conditions for use of the draft code case and licensee specific relief requests.

3 CLIN Objective - (Task 3): This task identifies areas in which validation testing of repair mockups, test samples, and materials may be required by the COR. Specifically, Task 3 is designed to provide the following confirmatory information which has been identified as necessary to support the review of future related relief requests and/or ASME Code Case(s):

a) Characteristic Values of Ultimate Strength and Stiffness of Single-Ply Lamina. There are three common characteristic values (A-Basis, B-Basis, and ASTM D7290) which may be applicable depending on the safety-significance of a proposed repair. An understanding of the differences between these values is needed to determine the relevant safety margin.

b) Bond Strength at Terminal Ends at Operating Temperature. The bond strength at the terminal ends of the repair and the inter-laminar shear strength are essential for ensuring water tightness. However, limited relevant data exists to substantiate that the recommended values are obtained or to reflect any changes associated with the range of operating temperatures (minimum, nominal, and/or maximum).

c)

Ultimate Strength and Stiffness of Multi-Ply Laminate. Technical literature indicates that the strength is reduced as the number of layers increases. An understanding of the changes in strength and stiffness as a function of the number of layers is needed to evaluate potential future proposed repairs.

d) Water Tightness at Operating Temperature and Pressure. Available data to confirm water tightness is limited to room temperature. Water tightness tests at operating temperatures (minimum, nominal, and/or maximum) are needed to understand the temperature effects.

e) Hydrostatic Pressure Test. A room temperature hydrostatic pressure test is needed to validate available data and design information. No relevant hydrostatic pressure testing has been identified in currently available technical literature.

This Statement of Work for this Task Order falls within the Unrestricted part of NRC IDIQ Enterprise-Wide Contract (EWC) entitled Technical Assistance in Support of Agency Environmental and Reactor Programs, paragraph 3.2 entitled, LICENSING SUPPORT.

4.

STATEMENT OF WORK TASKS Technical Directions The COR may issue Technical Directions (TDs) from time to time throughout the duration of the task order. These TDs must be within scope of the task order SOW and shall not constitute new assignments of work or changes of such a nature as to constitute a change to the task order cost or period of performance. Any modifications to the scope of work, cost or period of performance of this task order must be issued by the task order Contracting Officer (CO) and will be coordinated with the task order Contracting Officers Representative (COR). The COR may issue TDs for the purpose of making adjustments or clarifications to the timing and performance of the tasks and/or the delivery schedule of the documents within this task order.

In the event that the contractor believes that any of these TDs do have an impact in terms of changing the scope, cost or period of performance of the task order, the contractor shall immediately inform the task order CO and request appropriate guidance prior to taking action on the TD in question.

4 Task 1: Review of ASME Code Case on Carbon Fiber Repair (All work under Task 1 is non-fee-billable)

Contractor shall review the ongoing development and final version of the ASME Code Case, which the NRC task order COR will provide as it is updated to the Contractor upon task order award, for the purpose of providing an overall assessment of the effectiveness of the described carbon fiber repair technique to repair components within the scope of the ASME Code Case.

The acceptance standard for this task is to provide reasonable assurance of structural integrity and leak tightness, thereby ensuring adequate protection of public health and safety for the life of the repair. The contractor shall review the complete ASME Code Case, as well as provide specific focus in the following areas of the Case; 1)

Section 2000 - Materials i)

Validate the scope of the Code Case to ensure that it contains all material component categories required to be addressed in the carbon fiber repair process.

ii)

Ensure all definitions and referenced requirements in Appendices I-III are adequate 2)

Subsection 2300 - Testing and Qualification i)

Verify that all testing and qualification are adequate and comparable to ASME Code Section II and Section III requirements for the use of metallic piping in regards to structural integrity and leak-tightness.

3)

Section 3000 - Design i)

Review terms and requirements to ensure all aspects of carbon fiber repair are within design scope ii)

Validate that design equations, allowable variables, and safety factors are adequate.

4)

Section 4000 - Fabrication and Installation i)

Review process to ensure that the requirements are adequate to ensure structural integrity and leak-tightness ii)

Verify references used to support fabrication and installation iii)

Ensure that the generic process rules are adequate to not limit technique to only one manufactures process iv) Evaluate processing issues, including potential defects, bonding and repair requirements v)

Evaluate the defect and patch repair processes in test specimen application 5)

Section 5000 - Examination and Verification Testing i)

Review scope and capability of examination techniques ii)

Ensure that the examinations and testing is adequate to identify all potential degradation types for carbon fiber applications for this Code Case.

iii)

Validate qualification and capabilities of NDE to identify degradation iv) Ensure the testing is adequate to provide reasonable assurance of structural integrity and leak-tightness 6)

Section 6000 - Testing i)

Evaluate requirements in relation to current 10 CFR 50.55a ISI requirements for repairs, to ensure structural integrity and leak-tightness ii)

Validate the testing requirements and in-service inspection appendix to ensure in-service inspection methods and frequencies are adequate to provide reasonable assurance of structural integrity and leak-tightness for all potential degradation mechanisms 7)

Appendix Review

5 i)

Review each appendix as called out by the sections above for adequacy and completeness.

While in process of the review, the contractor shall inform the NRC COR, in the monthly reports, of any issues for resolution in the development of the ASME Code Case. Finally, the contractor shall provide a draft technical letter report (TLR) detailing the review above and recommendations for either acceptance or rejection of the final ASME Code Case in a timeframe to support NRC review prior to the required ASME Code voting process. The contractor shall review NRC comments on the draft TLR and submit a final TLR version prior to the final ASME Code voting process on the ASME Code Case.

Task 2 Review of plant specific relief requests to implement carbon fiber repair (All work under Task 2 is fee-billable)

The contractor shall provide support for up to four (4) licensee relief requests to use carbon fiber as a repair or mitigation technique. The NRC COR will provide the contractor the specific licensee relief request for each review. If the COR provides the contractor a relief request to review as part of this task before Task 1 is complete, the contractor will review the relief request in each of the areas identified in Task 1, but on a plant specific basis rather than for a generic application. For example, a relief request may request to use just one type of carbon fiber repair technique. The contractor would review the particular application of that specific technique by assessing the materials, testing and qualification, design, fabrication and installation, examination and verification testing, and other testing requirements.. A plant specific relief request is considered to be more focused on a particular application method, and therefore limited in scope of the overall review in comparison to the generic relief request for all application types. If the relief request review occurs after Task 1 is complete, the contractor shall review the plant specific relief request in accordance with the implement the ASME Code Case for use of carbon fiber repairs. The contractors review will be focused on ensuring that the relief request complies with the ASME Code Case, identifies any deviations, and provides an expert opinion and technical basis for the acceptance, modification or rejection of any deviations.

In both cases, the contractor shall perform an assessment of the relief request for completeness for review in accordance with NRC, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Office Instruction No.:

LIC-109, Revision 1, Acceptance Review Procedures. (ML091810088) The contractor shall then perform a technical review of the relief request in accordance with NRC, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Office Instruction No.: LIC-102, Revision 2, Relief Request Reviews.

(ML091380595) The contractor shall provide any requests for additional information (RAIs) in accordance with the above-referenced instructions on a timeline as defined in Task 2b of the Deliverables section of this statement of work (SOW). The contractor shall provide a technical letter report detailing the review above on a timeline provided by the NRC as defined in Task 2b of the Deliverables section of this SOW.

Task 3 Mockup testing and physical evaluation (All work under Task 3 is non-fee-billable)

The contractor shall perform the required series of evaluation tests on a carbon fiber repaired mockup pipe and evaluate the effectiveness of the repair by loading the pipe to failure, both in internal pressure and external load. All test samples shall be fabricated in accordance with the

6 applicable materials and fabrication procedures which will be used to fabricate the repaired mockup pipe. All testing shall be performed in general accordance with draft ASME Code Case N-871, Internal Repair of Buried Class 2 & 3 Piping Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites.
