1 Status of Technical Report on BWR IGSCC Mitigation Monitoring Results with Noble Metal Treatment Task 3.08 Joe Giannelli Finetech BWRVIP Mitigation Committee Meeting San Antonio, TX June 15-16, 2016

2 Purpose of Report U.S. NRC is currently reviewing BWRVIP-62 Revision 1: Technical Basis for Inspection Relief for BWR Internal Components with Hydrogen Injection ( ). HWC-M, NMCA+HWC, OLNC+HWC NRC has issued requests for additional information (RAIs). BWRs are implementing OLNC (Online NobleChem ). To support responses RAIs, a need was identified to compile and summarize available data on noble metal applications and mitigation monitoring of IGSCC mitigation in a single document. Results support responses to NRC RAIs and final BWRVIP- 62 Revision 1 report. 2

3 Report Outline: BWR IGSCC Mitigation Monitoring Results with Noble Metal Treatment Noble Metal Addition Background OLNC Laboratory Studies GE-Hitachi/GRC NORA Project Noble Metal Measurement Techniques Classic NobleChem TM Demonstration Plant Data OLNC application details, noble metal loading results, ECP Plants with only OLNC exposure Plants with NMCA exposure prior to OLNC Summary Appendix: Coupon Deposition Results 3

4 Report Status and Plan Plan Draft Report, BWR IGSCC Mitigation Monitoring Results with Noble Metal Treatment, submitted 11/25/2015 Review report to identify updates since November 2015 that can be made easily Prepare updated report for publication Data compilation and discussion, no conclusions or guidance 4

5 Coupon Deposition Easy to update Appendix listing results 584 results of noble metal deposition on coupons Results include: NMCA only, OLNC only, redistribution, and both NMCA and OLNC 134 coupons exposed to OLNC, 398 coupons exposed to only NMCA, 9 coupons exposed to LTNC and 43 redistribution coupons Several stations have allowed coupons to be exposed to multiple applications before being extracted. Most coupons were extracted from MMS skids, which draw influent from RWCU or a Recirc loop 5

6 Platinum Loading (µg/cm2) Platinum Deposition (µg/cm 2 ) Coupons Exposed to Multiple OLNC Applications Tendency for higher loadings with multiple OLNC applications Leibstadt (KKL) and Cofrentes (COF) coupons exposed to a combination of full OLNC applications and smaller mini-applications Used updated chart Full (~annual) applications KKL and COF (full and mini applications) OLNC 2 OLNC 3 OLNC 4 OLNC 5 OLNC 6 OLNC NMP2 HAT1 HAT2 BRF3 BRF1 QUA2 DRE2 DRE KKL 1 Main KKL 2 Mini KKL 1 Main, 1 Mini KKL 1 Main, 2 Mini KKL 2 Main, 3 Mini COF 1 Main COF 1 Main, 1 Mini Coupon OLNC Exposure COF 2 Main COF 4 Main, 2 Mini COF 5 Main, 4 Mini 6

7 Pt Deposition (µg/cm 2 ) Average Coupon Loading after Multiple OLNC Applications Averages and ranges of all coupons, excluding KKL and COF 0.30 Use update chart Higher loadings may be influenced by noble metal redistribution after transition from NMCA+HWC to OLNC+HWC Average Pt deposition generally increases with the number of applications (32) 2 (9) 3 (6) 4 (5) 5 (5) 6 (3) Number of OLNC (Number of Coupon Results) Range Average 7

Sample S1: Aborted, sample rig head ram released early. Samples S2 and S5: Separate brush and stone samples. S3 and S4: Only scraped, represent total noble metals. Average of totals for S2, S4 and S5 = 93% Pt Deposit predominantly loosely adherent (S2 & S5); 90 93%. 9

Shroud Pt loading after OLNC was significantly higher than measured on OLNC MMS coupons Pt loading of OLNC MMS coupon after: 1 app: 0.01 µg/cm 2 2 apps: 0.02 µg/cm 2 Direct sampling of the core shroud at LaSalle 2 was conducted in February Results show total noble deposition of 0.43 µg/cm 2 after 1 NMCA and 3 OLNC applications

11 Perry Surveillance Capsules (NMCA and OLNC results) Stainless steel Located close to core shroud Three capsules sampled at multiple azimuth locations (003, 177 and 183 ) Sampling program: RFO9, RFO10, RFO11, RFO12, RFO13, RFO14 and RFO15 Results from RFO12 and later are after OLNC was implemented Latest update reflects the RFO15 results 11

13 Average Pt Deposition (µg/cm 2 ) Perry Surveillance Capsules Add MMS coupon loading results to chart for comparison Pt measurements show increases following OLNC applications while residual Rh deposit from NMCA has declined. Majority of the Pt removed from the surface is from the loosely adherent outer layer. RFO14 and RFO15 samples were taken 187 days and 246 days, respectively, after the last OLNC application of the cycle (durability) Note: 1.
