steels such as ASTM A302 Grade B parent material of the H. B. Robinson Unit

No. 2 reactor pressure vessel are well documented in the literature.

Generally, low alloy ferritic materials show an increase in hardness and other

strength properties and a decrease in ductility and impact toughness under

certain conditions of irradiation. Accompanying a decrease in impact strength

is an increase in the temperature for the transition from brittle to ductile

fracture.

A method for guarding against fast fracture in reactor pressure vessels has been

presented in Appendix G, "Protection Against Non-Ductile Failure," to

Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The method utilizes

fracture mechanics concepts and is based on the reference nil-ductility

temperature, RTNDT.

RTNDT is defined as the greater of: 1) the drop weight nil-ductility

transition temperature (NDTT per ASTM E-208) or 2) the temperature 60'F less

than the 50 ft-lb (and 35 mils lateral expansion) temperature as determined

from Charpy specimens oriented in a direction normal to the major working

direction of the material. The RTNDT of a given material is used to index

that material to a refeence stress int it factor curve (KIR curve) which

appears in Appendix G of A the ASMECde. The KIR curve is a lower bound of

dynamic, crack arrest, and 6tatic fracture toughness results obtained from

several heats of pressure vessel steel. When a given material is indexed to

the KIR curve, allowable stress intensity factors can be obtained for this

material as a function of temperature. Allowable operating limits can then be

determined utilizing these allowable stress intensity factors.

The Certified Material Test Reports (CMTRs) for the original steam

generators provided records of Charpy V-notch tests performed at +10*F.

Acceptable Charpy V-notch tests of +10*F indicate RTNDT is at or below

this temperature. The steam generator lower assemblies were replaced in

1984 and the material tests results indicate the highest RTNDT is 60*F or

below. The ASME code recommends that hydrostatic tests be performed at a

temperature not lower than RTNDT plus 60F*, thus the pressurizing

temperature for the steam generator shell is established at 120*F to

provide protection against nonductile failure at the test pressure.

V-notch 30 ft-lb temperature (A RT ) due to irradiation is added to the

original RTNDT to adjust the RTNDT for radiation embrittlement. This adjusted

RTNDT (RTNDT initial +ARTNDT) is utilized to index the material to the KIR

curve and in turn to set operating limits for the nuclear power plant which

take into account the effects of irradiation on the reactor vessel

materials. Allowable pressure-temperature relationships for various heatup

and cooldown rates are calculated using methods (2) derived from Appendix G to

Section III of the ASIME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The approach

specifies that the allowable total stress intensity factor (KI) at any time

during heatup or cooldown cannot be greater than that shown on the KIR curve

in Appendix G for the metal temperature at that time. Furthermore, the

approach applies an explicit safety factor of 2.0 on the stress intensity

factor induced by pressure gradients.

Following the generation of pressure-temperature curves for both the steady

state and finite heatup rate situations, the final limit curves are produced

in the following fashion. First, a composite curve is constructed based on a

point-by-point comparison of the steady state and finite heatup rate data. At

any given temperture, the allowable pressure is taken to be the lesser of the

two values taken from the curves under consideration.. The composite curve is

then adjusted to allow for possible errors in the pressure and temperature

sensing instruments.

The use of the composite curve is mandatory in setting heatup limitations

because it is possible for conditions to exist such that over the course of

the heatup ramp the controlling analysis switches from the O.D. to the I.D.

location; and the pressure limit must, at all times, be based on the most

conservative case. The cooldown analysis proceeds in the same fashion as that

for heatup, with the exception that the controlling location is always at the

I.D. position. The thermal gradients induc'ed during cooldown tend to produce

tensile stresses at the I.D. location and compressive stresses at the O.D.

position. Thus, the I.D. flaw is clearly the worst case.

As in the case of heatup, allowable pressure temperature relations are

generated for both steady state and finite cooldown rate situations.

Composite limit curves are, then constructed for each cooldown rate of

Pressurized Thermal Shock

In accordance with the revised Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Rule, 10 CFR 50.61, effective June 14, 1991, the reactor vessel beltline materials were evaluated to determine the impact of the revised rule. A summary of the pertinent data required by revised Section 50.61(b)(1) for both the current date and the HBR2 Operating License expiration date is included in the table of this Enclosure 6.

The PTS rule requires calculation of RTPTS values for all beltline materials for both (1) End-Of-License (EOL) and (2) the time of submittal. August of 1993 was chosen as the time of submittal to coincide with the planned Technical Specification submittal of updated Pressure - Temperature limit curves.

The calculation results show the upper circumferential weld joint (Weld 10-273) to be the most limiting beltline material for PTS considerations. However, as shown in the attached table, none of the calculated RTPTS values exceed the 10 CFR 50.61 screening criterion. Therefore, as concluded in 1991, a response to the NRC by December 16, 1991, in accordance to the PTS rule, was not required.

The methods for calculation of RTPTs do not currently permit the use of plant specific materials surveillance program data, as allowed by the methods for calculating RTNDT . Because the upper weld (10-273) has been demonstrated as applicable to the surveillance program, plant specific data was used for RTNDT calculations. This information makes the lower circumferential weld (11-273) most limiting for RTNDT purposes and the development of Pressure-Temperature curves, even though the upper circumferential weld (10-273) is calculated to be most limiting for PTS considerations.
