## Abstract

Ultrasonic inspection requirements specified in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Section XI (ASME 2004) were written in a very prescriptive fashion until an accumulation of field experience in examinations that failed to detect defects in piping and pressure vessels, coupled with evidence from round-robin tests conducted by the Pressure Vessel Research Council, the Programme for the Inspection of Steel Components, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, demonstrated that improvements in ultrasonic inspection reliability were needed.

At an October 1984 meeting held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and industry in Rockville, Maryland, a draft qualification document was proposed and discussed as the basis for an NRC Regulatory Guide. This meeting resulted in the formation of an ASME Code Ad Hoc Task Group of industry experts charged with developing new Code rules that would improve the reliability of ultrasonic inspection. This Ad Hoc Task Group developed the initial rules that were later documented in Appendix VIII. The rules of Appendix VIII marked a revolutionary change in the conduct of inservice ultrasonic examination requirements for piping and reactor pressure vessels; rather than prescriptive requirements, the Ad Hoc Task Group developed the concept of ultrasonic system qualification through performance demonstration.

This report addresses the technical bases that support the requirements of the performance demonstration specified in the 2007 Edition, 2008 and 2009 Addenda of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, Appendix VIII. The intent of this report is to provide the reader with an understanding of the technical rationale for the requirements stated in Section XI, Appendix VIII.

NRC to Discuss Limited Hearing Opportunity for Vogtle New Reactors

Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will hold a meeting Oct. 30 in Waynesboro, Ga., to 

discuss how the public will have an opportunity to ask for a hearing prior to nuclear fuel being loaded 

at the under-construction Vogtle Units 3 and 4.

The meeting will run from 6-7 p.m. in Room 163 at the Augusta Technical College, 

216 Highway 24 S in Waynesboro. The staff will discuss the hearing opportunity related to inspections, 

tests, analyses and acceptance criteria that verify the Vogtle reactors have been built in accordance with 

their combined licenses and will operate safely. The meeting will include a call-in line. Contact Donald 

Habib at 301-415-1035 or donald.habib@nrc.gov for the toll-free number and passcode. The staff will 

hold an open house before the meeting, starting at 4:30 p.m., for informal discussions with the public.

The NRC issued Combined Licenses for Vogtle Unit 3 and Unit 4 on Feb. 10, 2012, and has 

inspected construction activities onsite. More information on the NRC’s ongoing oversight of the 

Vogtle new reactors is available on the agency website.

## Abstract

We developed models of a BWR/5 boiling water reactor for use with TRACE/PARCS and thereafter to analyze anticipated transients without scram (ATWS). We established the models for three different times during a fuel cycle, and included therein all systems needed for events initiated by turbine trip or the closure of a main steamline isolation valve. They include the standby liquid-control system, recirculation pumps, feedwater and water level control, reactor core isolation cooling system, safety and relief valves, suppression-pool cooling, and other systems. The modeling in the core that we undertook is detailed relative to state-of-the-art models, with four different fuel-rod types included in each fuel assembly, and 382 channels to represent all assemblies, taking into account half-core symmetry. The models we developed can be used for multiple ATWS applications, and for many transients with the reactor trip operational.

The models were applied to ATWS events initiated by a turbine trip while operating in the expanded operating domain “MELLLA+.” Sensitivity calculations were undertaken at the beginning-of-cycle to determine the effect of bypass fraction (10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) and also at peak-hot-excess-reactivity to determine the effect of including a spectral-history correction on the void density. A calculation at end-of-full-power-life allowed us to compare three different times in the fuel cycle.

The regulatory purpose of the current work is to demonstrate the use of TRACE/PARCS in evaluating the potential consequences of ATWS events in BWRs operating under MELLLA+ conditions. Our study offers insights into the reactor’s behavior during these events, and in particular the impact of assumed operator actions on the observed oscillatory behavior caused by the reactor’s instability and on the eventual shutdown of the reactor. In addition, our study examined the ability of the TRACE/PARCS code system to calculate the complex phenomena during these events. We also gained insights into effective modeling of those phenomena. Hence, this study may be used as a basis for developing rigorous modeling guidance for similar application.

## Abstract

The passive auxiliary feedwater system (PAFS) is one of the advanced safety features of the Advanced Power Reactor Plus (APR+) and Advanced Power Reactor 1000 (APR1000). During a plant transient, the PAFS cools down the secondary side of the steam generator, and removes the decay heat of the reactor core by condensing steam in nearly-horizontal U-shaped tubes submerged inside the passive condensation cooling tank. This study investigated the predictive capability of TRACE V5.0 patch 5 for the cooling and operational performance of the PAFS. For this purpose, the predictive capability of the code for the condensing heat transfer in the horizontal stratified flow was assessed using the results of a PASCAL experiment. The filmwise condensation heat transfer model and horizontal stratified condensation model of TRACE were evaluated. In addition, a new condensation model developed by Pusan National University (PNU model) was implemented and evaluated. The filmwise condensation heat transfer model and horizontal stratified condensation model generally overestimated the pressure and the steam flow rate of the steam generator. The PNU condensation model, on the other hand, predicted well the pressure and the steam flow rate of the steam generator under various heater powers.

1 Defendant appeals, pro se, from a district court order denying his motion for

2 early release from probation. We issued a calendar notice proposing to dismiss.

3 Defendant has responded with a memorandum in opposition. We dismiss the appeal.

4 As indicated, Defendant is appealing from a district court order denying his

5 motion for early release from probation and clarifying the status of his probationary

6 term. The order was filed on February 16, 2011. [RP 339] The notice of appeal was

7 filed late, on March 24, 2011. [RP 341] As our Supreme Court has observed, “[o]nly

8 the most unusual circumstances beyond the control of the parties—such as error on

9 the part of the court—will warrant overlooking procedural defects.” Trujillo v.

10 Serrano, 117 N.M. 273, 278, 871 P.2d 369, 374 (1994). Our calendar notice observed

11 that Defendant’s circumstances were not exceptional because he had plenty of time

12 to file a timely notice of appeal. In his memorandum in opposition, Defendant points

13 out that he received a copy of the order just days before the notice of appeal was due.

14 However, he could either have quickly filed his appeal, or requested an extension of

15 time pursuant Rule 12-201(E)(1) or (2) NMRA. As such, the circumstances were not

16 beyond his control, and we dismiss the appeal. See Govich v. North Am. Sys., Inc.,

17 112 N.M. 226, 230, 814 P.2d 94, 98 (1991) (compliance with notice of appeal time

18 and place requirements are mandatory preconditions to exercise of appellate

19 jurisdiction).
