STATEMENT OF WORKNRC-HQ-11-C-04-0012 Task Order No.2 (JCN: V6102)

Developing the Technical Basis for Regulatory Guides (RG)related to Inservice Inspection(ISI)of Posttensioned Containments.

I. BACKGROUND

Regulatory context: This work is needed to develop guidance for testing of the prestress levels in containment tendonsof future containments that may use new types of materials, as well as the methods for monitoring of thesecontainments by instrumentation. The results will also be used to improve accuracy in predicting and measuring theprestress level of tendons in current concrete containments. This work will be included in the next revision to theseismic and structural research plan. The result of this work is the technical basis for future revisions to RegulatoryGuide (RG) 1.35, "Inservice Inspection of Ungrouted Tendons in Prestressed Concrete Containments," RG 1.35.1,"Determining Prestressing Forces for Inspection of Prestressed Concrete Containments," and RG 1.90, "InserviceInspection of Prestressed Concrete Containment Structures with Grouted Tendons."

Technical context: This work focuses on assessing the methods and criteria used to ensure that the safety margins ofnewer posttensioned containments that use higher strength material (concrete and steel) are not reduced underoperating and environmental conditions. This work may also enhance knowledge of monitoring and testing currentposttensioned containments.

In the United States, there are thirty seven (37) posttensioned concrete containments that use ungrouted (greased)tendons, and one (1) that uses grouted tendons. Therefore, operating experience data for containments with groutedtendons is limited. The new Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) design under review by the Nuclear RegulatoryCommission (NRC) staff uses grouted tendons, so additional information is needed for containments with groutedtendons. Internationally, some other countries have used grouted tendons for concrete containments for over 30years. In addition, the monitoring of containment deformation and loss of prestress using instrumentation is common inother countries, and relies on sufficient numbers of instruments installed at the time of construction of the containment.Knowledge developed by research and operating plant experience that is available in the USA and internationally willbe the basis for revising NRC's Regulatory Guides.

The containment system of a nuclear power plant provides a key part of the overall plant's engineered-safety features.The structure serves as the final barrier against release of any radioactive fission products to the environment.Maintaining the required prestressing force levels in post-tensioned concrete containments is important in helpingassure that the containment retains adequate margins with respect to structural and leak-tight integrity.

Operating experience has demonstrated that an overall program of periodic inspection, maintenance, and repair iseffective in verifying that an acceptable level of reliability for a containment structure is maintained over its service life.Determining the existing performance characteristics and extent and causes of any observed distress is accomplishedthrough a structural condition assessment that generally involves general visual inspections, leakage-rate tests, anddestructive and nondestructive examinations. Time-dependent changes, such as changes in material properties, mustbe evaluated over time to assess containment reliability.

Examinations performed at specified intervals provide information and data on post-tensioning tendons: lift-off force,wire/strand strength and ductility, sheathing filler chemical properties, and corrosion of metallic components.Information related to post-tensioning system inspection and acceptance standards is available in the latest version of"American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI" as incorporated byreference into 10 CFR 50.55a. Subsection IWL "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components."

In the United States it is required that the condition and functional capability of the posttensioning systems of

prestressed concrete nuclear power plant containments be periodically assessed. This is accomplished, in part,

Page 7

NRC-HQ- 11 -C-04-0012Task Order NRC-HQ-12-04-0002 ATTACHMENT #1

systematically through an inservice tendon inspection program which must be developed and implemented for eachcontainment. To maintain nuclear power plant safety it is important that NRC regulatory review criteria be assessed,evaluated and kept up to date.

II. OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of this work is to assess the methods and criteria used to ensure that the safety margins ofcontainment structures are not reduced under operating and environmental conditions. This work applies tocontainments for both newer plants that use higher strength material (concrete and steel) and current plants.

The plan to achieve the objective is to evaluate operational experience in containment In service Inspection (ISI);review and evaluate industry developments including research results, and: codes and standards (both national andinternational) with regard to post-tensioning systems. The knowledge gained will be used to review existing staffcriteria, and in the development of revised or new criteria if warranted.

The monitoring of containment deformation and loss of prestress using instrumentation is common in other countries,and relies on sufficient numbers of instruments installed at the time of construction of the containment. A specificobjective is to assess the latest international practices and technology, and use it to develop the basis for any newregulatory guidance.

For both current and newer plants, the work includes a review and assessment of ISI-related codes and standards (i.e.ASME, ETC-C, RCC-G and others) as well as a review of the latest developments and experience, to prepare thetechnical basis for a revision to RG 1.35.1, RG 1.35, and RG 1.90. This work builds on the previous work listed asreferences in the RGs, including NUREG/CR-2719, and NUREG/CR-4712 that form part of the technical basis for theexisting versions of RG 1.35 and 1.35.1 and "Concrete Containment Posttensioning System Aging Study," preparedfor NRC by D.J. Naus and Howard T. Hill, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A specific objective is to improve theaccuracy and precision for predicting and measuring the prestress level of concrete containments, particularly forproposed new materials that may be used in future containments.

Ill. WORK SCOPE FOR THIS TASK

The scope of work consists of the following three tasks:

A. Task 1- Review of Research and Current Regulatory Guides

1. Review industry research, manufacturer's test data and peer reviewed literature and summarize theavailable data supporting the causes of loss of prestressing force in posttensioned concrete containmentstructures. Include the losses considered in section B.2 and C.2 in RG 1.35.1. Include a review of higherstrength materials (concrete and steel) that may be used in newer designs. Summarize this informationfor containments with (i) grouted tendons and (ii) ungrouted (greased) tendons.

2. Using the results from a) above, review the existing basis of the methods and criteria in RG 1.35, RG1.35.1, and RG 1.90. Provide an assessment of the adequacy of the guidance to effectively monitorposttensioned containment structures with (I) grouted tendons and (ii) ungrouted (greased) tendons.

3. Review the methods and criteria used by other countries for posttensioned containments. Compare thesemethods and criteria to RG 1.35, RG 1.35.1, and RG 1.90. List the differences and describe theadvantage(s) and disadvantage(s) of alternate approaches.

Page 8

NRC-HQ-1 1-C-04-0012Task Order NRC-HQ-12-04-0002 ATTACHMENT #1

4. Review selected reports of the inspections performed by licensees and evaluate the effectiveness of theinservice inspection methods to identify the loss of pre-stressing force. The NRC Project Officer willprovide reports from the representative plants (approximately three plants). Identify the deficiencies, ifany, in the inspection program(s) practiced by the licensees and suggest any needed changes toregulatory guidance.

5. Identify the applicable codes and standards (Le. ASME, ETC-C, RCC-G, and others) for determiningprestress loss, and submit a list of these codes and standards to the NRC for approval before commencinga review. Upon approval of the list by NRC, conduct a review of the codes and standards, and describethe applicability of the codes to RG 1.35.1, RG 1.35 and RG 1.90. Provide specific suggestions formodifications to the RGs, including the justification for the suggested changes.

RES encourages the publication of the scientific results from RES sponsored programs in referred scientific andengineering journals as appropriate. If the laboratory proposes to publish in the open literature or present theinformation at meeting in addition to submitting the required technical reports, approval of the proposed article orpresentation should be obtained from the NRC Project Manager. The RES Project Manager shall either approve thematerial as submitted, or approve it subject to NRC suggested revisions, or disapprove it. In any event, the RESProject Manager may disapprove or delay presentation or publication of papers on Information that is subject toCommission approval that has not been ruled upon or which has been disapproved. Additional information regardingthe publication of NRC sponsored research is contained in NRC Management Directives 3.7, "NUREG SeriesPublications," and 3.9, "NRC Staff and Contractor Speeches, Papers, and Journal Articles on Regulatory andTechnical Subjects."

If the presentation or paper is in addition to the required technical reports and the RES Project Manager determinesthat it will benefit the RES project, the Project Manager may authorize payment of travel and publishing costs, if any,from the project funds. If the Project Manager determines that the article or presentation would not benefit the RESproject, the costs associated with the preparation, presentation, or publication will be borne by the contractor. Forany publication or presentations falling into this category, the NRC reserves the right to require that such presentationor publication will not identify the NRC's sponsorship of the work.

X. NEW STANDARDS FOR CONTRACTORS WHO PREPARE NUREG-SERIES MANUSCRIPTSThe U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) began to capture most of its official records electronically on January1, 2000. The NRC will capture each final NUREG-series publication in its native application. Therefore, please submityour final manuscript that has been approved by your NRC Project Manager in both electronic and camera-readycopy.

All format guidance, as specified in NUREG-0650, Revision 2, will remain the same with one exception. You will nolonger be required to include the NUREG-series designator on the bottom of each page of the manuscript. The NRCwill assign this designator when we send the camera-ready copy to the printer and will place the designator on thecover, title page, and spine. The designator for each report will no longer be assigned when the decision to prepare apublication is made. The NRC's Publishing Services Branch will inform the NRC Project Manager for the publication ofthe assigned designator when the final manuscript is sent to the printer.

For the electronic manuscript, the Contractor shall prepare the text in Microsoft Word, and use any of the following filetypes for charts, spreadsheets, and the like.

This list is subject to change if new software packages come into common use at NRC or by our licensees or otherstakeholders that participate in the electronic submission process. If a portion of your manuscript is from anothersource and you cannot obtain an acceptable electronic file type for this portion (e.g., an appendix from an oldpublication), the NRC can, if necessary, create a tagged image file format (file extension.tif) for that portion of yourreport. Note that you should continue to submit original photographs, which will be scanned, since digitizedphotographs do not print well.

If you choose to publish a compact disk (CD) or DVD of your publication, place on the CD copies of the manuscript inboth (1) a portable document format (PDF); (2) a Microsoft Word file format, and (3) an Adobe Acrobat Reader, or,alternatively, print instructions for obtaining a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader on the back cover insert of the jewelbox.
