NRC, ENTERGY TO DISCUSS PERFORMANCE ISSUES AT INDIAN POINT 2

 Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of Entergy Nuclear

Operations, Inc., on Thursday, May 30, to discuss performance improvement efforts at the Indian Point

2 nuclear power plant. Entergy operates the facility, which is located in Buchanan, N.Y.

 The meeting is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. at the Verplanck Fire House, at Broadway and 8th

Street (approximately 200 yards west of Broadway) in Verplanck, N.Y. The session will be open to

the public for observation and the public will have an opportunity to ask questions of NRC staff before

its conclusion.

 The specific topic to be discussed will be Entergy’s “Fundamentals” Improvement Plan for the

plant, which covers such areas as equipment reliability, design and configuration control, human

performance, and problem identification and resolution.

 Indian Point 2 is currently designated by the NRC as a plant with “multiple degraded

cornerstones.” (Cornerstones are measures of performance.) This designation is associated principally

with underlying performance issues revealed during an August 1999 reactor trip with electrical

distribution system complications and a February 2000 steam generator tube failure event. As a

consequence of that designation, Indian Point 2 is the subject of additional NRC scrutiny.

 A team of NRC inspectors will visit the plant in late June and early July to assess progress

being made by Entergy in addressing performance issues.

## Abstract

Thermal embrittlement of static-cast CF-8 stainless steel components from the decommissioned Shippingport reactor has been characterized. Cast stainless steel materials were obtained from four cold-leg check valves, three hot-leg main shutoff valves, and two pump volutes. The actual time-at-temperature for the materials was ≈13 y at ≈281°C (538°F) for the hot-leg components and ≈264°C (507°F) for the cold-leg components. Baseline mechanical properties for as-cast material were determined from tests on either recovery-annealed material, i.e., annealed for 1 h at 550°C and then water quenched, or material from the cooler region of the component. The Shippingport materials show modest decreases in fracture toughness and Charpy-impact properties and a small increase in tensile strength because of relatively low service temperatures and ferrite content of the steel. The procedure and correlations developed at Argonne National Laboratory for estimating mechanical properties of cast stainless steels predict accurate or slightly lower values for Charpy-impact energy, tensile flow stress, fracture toughness J-R curve, and JIC of the materials. The kinetics of thermal embrittlement and degree of embrittlement at saturation, i.e., the minimum impact energy achieved after long-term aging, were established from materials that were aged further in the laboratory. The results were consistent with the estimates. The correlations successfully predicted the mechanical properties of the Ringhals 2 reactor hot- and crossover-leg elbows (CF-8M steel) after service of ≈15 y and the KRB reactor pump cover plate (CF-8) after ≈8 y of service.

NRC TO MEET WITH DUKE ENERGY OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS SAFETY

PERFORMANCE AT CATAWBA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with Duke Energy officials on

Wednesday, May 12, to discuss the results of NRC’s annual assessment of safety performance at the

Catawba nuclear power plant near York, South Carolina.

The meeting will be held at 1:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at the Rock Hill City Hall. 

The public is invited to observe the meeting, and NRC officials will be available before the conclusion

of the meeting to answer any questions.

The NRC said both Catawba reactors were operated safely and met all objectives during the

evaluation period which covered the calendar year 2003. As a result, the NRC plans to conduct only

routine inspections at the Catawba plant in 2004. A letter from the NRC to Duke Energy outlining the

results of the most recent evaluation is available from Region II Public Affairs and on the NRC web

site at www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/LETTERS/cat_2003q4.pdf . 

 The NRC staff will also conduct inspections this year at Catawba (not specifically related to

the plant’s performance) related to operator licensing examinations, inspections of the planned spent

nuclear fuel storage installation, and safety issues concerning reactor pressure vessel lower head

penetration nozzles and the reactor containment sump. 

The agency will also continue to monitor plant actions in response to NRC security orders and

any newly developed portions of the plant security program.

 Current performance indicators for the two units at the Catawba plant are available at 

www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/CAT1/cat1_chart.html and
