U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region II Attn: Mr. James P. O'Reilly, Regional Administrator 101 Marietta Street, Suite 3100 Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
Fnclosed for your review are two copies of a proposed.Revision 7 to TVA's Topical Report, TVA-TR75-1A, "Quality Assurance Program Description for Design, Construction, and Operation of TVA Nuclear Power Plants."
Proposed Revision 7 to TVA-TR75-1A is the submittal required by the January 10, 1983 change to 10 CFR 50.54 and 50.55. In my letter to you dated June 9, 1083, the submittal date of proposed Revision 7 was delayed', and you were informed that the changes in T'A-TR75-1A would be sufficiently extensive as to require additional time to meet the requirements of 10 CPR 50.54 and 50.55. R. C. Lewis' letter to me dated June 28, 1983 accepted the delay in the submittal of Revision 7 until August 15, 1983.
Proposed Revision 7 is a major change to the TVA Oality Assurance Program description. The topical has been reformatted to be consistent with the description of TVA's integrated quality assurance program for design, construction, and operation. The major format changes have been the consolidation of all organizational descriptions into section 17.0 and the relocation of all figures and tables to the appendices. Additionally, the organizational descriptions have been updated to provide a consistent level of detail for the various TVA organizational units, and portions of the section 17.1 and 17.2 program descriptions have been revised to provide a more accurate description of our current program and practices. This revision contains a description of the TVA Office of Quality Assurance (OA) and includes in table 17.A-5 a new list of the procedures by which OQA will perform its assigned activities. These OQA procedures are to supersede those utilized by previous quality assurance units.
TVA has evaluated the program changes and found that these program changes do not reduce the comitments described in Revision 6 of TVA-7R75 1A, Pxcept for a change in a comitment to ANSI H45.2.1 (see table 17.D-1). My letter to Ms. 2. Adensam dated April 18, 1983 requested approval of a reduction in the commitment to an ANSI N45.2.1 requirement and contained information to justify the reduction.

ABSTRACT
This report describes the test facility, procedures, data
reduction, and results of physical tests performed on a laboratory pipe
loop constructed to evaluate the performance efficiency of sidestream
sampling as a measure of pipe cleanliness. Tests were made using various
pipe sizes, flow rates, and contaminants, which included metal filings,
pieces of tape, and pieces of glued purge paper.
It is shown for all pipe sizes, flows, and contaminants, that the
concentration of contaminants in the side stream generally conformed to the
exponential equation: Ct = C0h exp (-kt) where Ct is the sidestream
contaminant concentration, CO is the initial concentration of contaminant
in the piping system, h is the fraction of contaminant suspended in the
flush flow, k is proportional to the ratio of sampling discharge rate to
the total piping system volume, and t is time. The efficiency of
sidestream sampling was characterized by the sampling time needed to
collect 95 percent of all the contaminants that would be collected. The
data reveal the time required to sample 95 percent of the material
collected was about 15 min for metal filings and 60 min for duct tape. The
results also show the amount of each contaminant trapped in the pipe system
and therefore not collected by sidestream sampling. This number is
characteristic of each particular pipe loop.

. INTRODUCTION
Fluid handling systems at Bellefonte Nuclear Plant are cleaned by
procedures described in TVA General Construction Specification G-39.
System contaminants are typically small-metal particles, duct tape, and
glue impregnated purge paper. The amount of contaminants in a system.is
measured during proof flushing through the use of sidestream sampling and
filtering of flush water. The sidestream sampler is typically a 90-degree
pipe tee with the diameter smaller than the process pipe.
At the request of the Mechanical Engineering Support Branch,'-the
Singleton Materials Engineering Laboratory with support from the Water
System Development Branch constructed a test system with 6- and 10-in, test
sections and a 2-in. sidestream sampler. The ability of the sidestream
sampler to collect contaminants varying in size, shape, and weight was
measured for different flush flow velocities. These tests were designed to
evaluate the characteristics of the sidestream sampling technique in terms
of the length of time needed to ensure complete sampling. Known amounts of
contaminants were introduced into the system and recirculated in a pipe
loop while a fraction of the contaminants was sampled in a sidestream
discharge. The amount of contaminant sampled naturally depends upon the
fraction in suspension and the fraction lodged in various kinds of traps in
the piping system. For contaminants heavier than water, a trap would
consist of abrupt changes in the pipe bottom geometry, such as the side
stream sampling tee, the bottom of valve and pump housings, and dead end
downward tees. Contaminants would be moved with the flush water as
suspended particles in vertical pipe runs and suspended or bouncing along
the bottom in horizontal pipe runs. The fraction of contaminants remaining
in the system is directly dependent upon the geometry, fittings, etc, of
each particular piping system.
This report describes the laboratory system and test procedures
and presents data that characterizes the sampling efficiency of the side
stream tap for metal particles, small pieces of paper, and tape. Twenty
three tests were made with three flush flow velocities and two pipe sizes
selected as typical for the Bellefonte plant.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION-
The test facility was constructed as shown in figure 1. The
facility had a closed loop with 6-in.-diameter PVC pipe connected through
interchangeable 10-in.- and 6-in.-diameter, 15-foot-long test sections.
Water for the test loop was supplied through a 1-1/2-in. pipe connected to
the municipal water system. The supply line was equipped with a pressure
regulator and a valve for flow control. A 1-1/4-in. valve was teed into
the supply line to provide a-contaminant addition port. Water in the
system was circulated by a centrifugal pump and metered by a calibrated
elbow meter located just downstream from the test section.
A flow control valve was installed between the pump and the test
section. Sidestream sampling taps of 2-in.-diameter clear acrylic plastic
with gate valve were installed 10 ft downstream from the entrance to each
test section. The 10-in.-diameter test section had a semicylindrical
observation window and the 6-in.-diameter test section had clear plastic
pipe at the tap site.
System volumes were approximately 160 gal with the
10-in.-diameter test section and 118 gal with the 6-in.-diameter section
installed. Maximum flow velocities were 7 ft sec-1 in the 10-in. section
-1 and 19-ft see in the 6-in. section. Sampling flow rate was adjusted to
approximately 15 gpm and the sample flow was replenished by the municipal
supply during sampling intervals.

EXPERIMENTAL
Contaminants
Contaminants were added to the test facility in measured batch
quantities. .The contaminants were:
1 . Metal filings which passed a 20 mesh and were collected on
a 40 mesh sieve.
2. Duct tape, 0.25-in. diameter.
3. Purge dam paper, 0.25-in. diameter. The paper added during
tests 14 and 15 was coated with Elmer's Glue-All and Elmer's
School Glue and dried at 400oF
Anaratus
A description of the test apparatus (pump, valves, manometers,
etc.) is given in appendix A.
Test Procedure
Upon completion of the test facility construction and prior to
contaminant addition, the system was filled, recirculated, and purged until
construction debris recovered from purging of the pump, bottom, and side
stream sampling valves was negligible.
With the pump activated, the flow velocity in the test section
was determined rby an elbow meter calibrated against a laser anemometer.
The laser anemometer was occasionally available for flow velocity
measurement during tests. Prior to each test, the system was filled and
~2
recirculated 30 to 60 min. The system was purged and the sidestream
sampling valve, pump valve, and bottom valve were checked for- contaminants
from previous tests. Measured quantities of contaminant materials were
added to the system and recirculated 5 min at known velocites. Sidestream
sampling with approximately 15 gpm sampling flow rate was performed at
intervals from 5 to 125 min by collection of contaminants on nylon filters
and 100 mesh wire screens. The pump was deactivated, the side port valve,
pump valve, and- bottom valve were purged, and the system was drained after
the final sampling interval of each test. Collected samples were dried and
weighed. The weight of contaminant collected at each sampling time was
recorded.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Test results are tabulated in appendix B and graphed in figures 2
through 10. Metal filings, totaling 175 g, were added to the system during
tests 1 through 3. Approximately 47 percent of the metal was not recovered
by flushing the system. Approximately 93 percent of the 450 g of metal
added for tests 5 through 8 was recovered. A significant portion (for
example, 21.9 g in test 7) of metal not sampled in the sidestream flow but
recovered during each test was flushed from the sidestream sampling gate
valve seat. The valve opening was less than 0.1 in. for these tests.
Relatively smaller amounts of metal (for example, 2.9 g in test 7) were
recovered from the 1-in. and 1.5-in. drain valves.
During tests with tape and paper contaminants, 0.01 to 0.1 g of
metal was recovered in most sidestream discharge samples. This metal was
apparently dislodged-from hideout sites and metal recovery from test 13 was
10 g lower than the average recovery for tests 5 through 8. Apparently
metal was required to replace that dislodged and sampled during tape tests
9 through 12. During test 4, 10 g of purge paper was added to the system.
Most of the paper dissolved, although a small amount of gelatinous material
was recovered in the sidestream sample. The duct tape added for tests 9
through 12 and the purge paper/glue added for tests 14 and 15 were less
dense than water. Approximately 95 percent of the tape and 88 percent of
the paper added-to the system was recovered. Most of the unrecovered
paper/glue probably dissolved. In an immersion test with 2 g of dried
(4000F) paper and glue in water for 20 min, 0.38 g (19 percent) dissolved.
F 9
Upon completion of test 15, a full flow strainer with 0.0029-in. openings
was placed in the system. After 2 h of recirculation and 10 pump cycles,
less than 0.25 g of contaminant (mostly metal) was collected in the
strainer. Tests 16 through 23 were run after the 10-in.-diameter test
section had been replaced by the 6-in.-diameter test section.
The tape sampling rate via sidestream sampling was nearly
identical at 10 and 19 ft see-1 in the 6-in. system and unchanged from the -1 rate at 7 ft see in the 10-in, system.
At both 10 and 19 ft sec-1 flow velocity, tape was trapped on the
downstream top side of the sampling tap, as well as on top of the
partially open gate valve. Occasionally, some of this was dislodged.
Tape trapped on the tap and valve seat was recovered at the end of each
test when the pump was turned off and the valve completely opened.
Recovery from the valve was -1 g more in tests 16 and 17 (10 ft se- 1
than in tests 9 through 12.
Although the calculated rate of removal was the same in all tape
tests, 10 percent less tape was recovered by sidestream discharge when
system velocity was 10 ft see-1 , and total recovery was 5 to 10 percent
less than at 7 ft see or 19 ft see-1
The metal sampling rate at 19 ft see-1 flow velocity was similar
to the rate at 7 ft see flow velocity in the 10-in.-diameter test
section. The metal test results at 10 ft sec- 1 are not in agreement with
any other test results. This is probably due to contaminant trapping down
stream from the control valve when the system is throttled to 10 ft see 1 .

Flgure 10s BLNP Side Stream Sampling. Time Dependence of Log Concentraioon of Metal in 6he Side Stream Discharge.
This part of the system was under reduced pressure and the pipe may have
been only partially filled with water.
Figure 5 summarizes the test results from the 10-in, test section
and gives a comparison of the time necessary for sampling 95 percent of
metal, tape, or paper sampled. Figure 8 presents a similar summary of test
results from the 6-in, test section.
In figures 9 and 10, the log 10 of sidestream contaminant
concentration versus time is plotted. Contaminant concentrationwas
calculated by dividing grams contaminant recovered during a sampling
interval by total gallons of side stream discharged during the interval.
This was plotted against the midpoint of the time interval. The plot is
linear for tape and shows the sampling rate is nearly independent of test
section diameter and flush velocity in the test system. The glue/paper
results are similar for the first hour; deviation from linearity at longer
times probably results from imprecisions in collecting and weighing <0.05
g of the material. The log 1 0 of sidestream concentration of metal also
shows a fairly linear dependence on time to about 40 min, with the
exception of tests 20 and 21 (6-in, test section, 10 ft sec-), in which
conditions necessary to reduce the flow to 10 ft sec-1 changed the flow
characteristics of part of the system.

CONCLUSION
The test results show concentration of contaminant in side
stream samples proportional to concentration suspended in flows. With the
exception of tests 20 and 21, where metal trapping probably caused
anomalous sampling rates, the results for contaminant sampling rates
demonstrate correlation with the equation:
C =Che-kt t 0
where: C = Sampled contaminant concentration
C Initial system contaminant concentration 0
h = Fraction of contaminant circulating in system
k Sampling rate/system volume
t = Sampling time
Since contaminant sampling rate is an exponentially decreasing
function of sampling tiLe, system cleanliness would not be measured t'
proof flushing beyond the time at which contaminant sampled had been
reduced by approximately 95 percent. Figures 5 and 8 show the time
required to sample 95 percent of metal and duct tape in the test loop is
approximately 15 and 60 min respectively. During these times any given
metal particle in suspension would have passed the sampling tap 100 to 300
times and a tape particle would have passed 400 to 1100 times if the
-1 average flow velocity was 7 to 19 ft sec . In addition to predicting
-21
maximum effective sampling times, the equation predicts that small amounts
of contaminants would be sampled even if recirculating proof flushing was
continued indefinitely. A final bit of information, evident in the test
tables, confirms that the bulk of contaminants trapped in a system will
likely be found in valve seats and dead legs.
C fIr RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the information presented in this report, it is
recommended the following procedure be adopted during proof flushing
to establish the time necessary to remove 95 percent (or whatever
percentage required) of the collectable debris from the system.
1. Establish a stable sidestream sample flow and perform one short (15
min) sidestream sampling. Collect, sort, and weigh the sampled
contaminants.
2. A short time later, perform a second sampling of similar duration.
Collect and weigh the contaminants.
-kt 3. Using the equation Ct = C he , calculate k for the particular pipe
system and contaminants in question:
k = L.In (t2 - t 1) C2
t t is the time interval between the start of the two sidestream 2 1
sampling tests. C and C2 are specific contaminant concentrations in

The time necessary for sampling 95 percent of the contaminant initially
in the flow (C = 0.05 C0h) can be calculated:
t 95% = n -41 =.0 -k -k
4. Perform a third sidestream contaminant sampling at the end of the time
interval computed in step 3. Verify that the contaminants have been
reduced to the required level. If the contaminants were reduced to the
required level, further sampling will not yield additional information.
If not, reevaluate the time interval computed in step 3 using t - t1. I3 5. After completion of flushing, clean out all contaminant traps in bottom
deadend tees, pump, and valve housings.

ANSI N45.2.1 VARIANCE REQUEST
1. PROPOSED CHANGE
According to Topical Report, TVA-TR75-1, Rev. 6, Table 17.1A-4A, TVA conforms fully to ANSI standard N45.2.1 - 1973. TVA requests approval of exceptions to the ANSI standard with respect to purge dam material (glue and paper). We propose that the acceptance criteria for purge .dam particulates be established as "up to 1/8-inch in any dimension" when the system cleanness is evaluated by examining a 20 mesh strainer, or equivalent, as described in section 3.1.2 of the reference ANSI standard. We also propose that it be acceptable to allow the adherent purge dam material still present after flushing to the 1/8-inch criterion to remain on the pipe wall.
2. REASON FOR CHANGE
Purge dams are used to form barriers inside the pipe so that the atmosphere inside the pipe can be purged with argon before the stainless steel pipe is welded. The early purge dams were made with Elmer's Glue-All, which is relatively insoluble, and Dissolvo paper. The more soluble Elmer's School Glue and Dissolvo paper are now being used. When the purge dam is placed too close to the weld, the solubility of both glues is significantly reduced by reaction to the heat of the weld.
Purge dams have been used extensively throughout the stainless steel systems. The flushing of these systems to the surface cleanness criteria and the strainer evaluation particulate criteria of ANSI N45.2.1 - 1973 has not been practical as demonstrated by one years flushing experience on Bellefonte unit 1. Flushing has been done with* demineralized water and also with 5-percent acetic acid. In both cases some adherent purge dam residue (both glue and glue impregnated paper) remains on the pipe interior at the purge dam location. Also, purge dam particulates up to approximately 1/8 inch continue to be occasionally caught on the flush strainer (or equivalent) after months of flushing on a single flow path, indicating that 1/8 inch is an end point for flushing this material. Continuing to flush past this point does not materially improve removal of purge dam residues.
3. BASIS FOR CONCLUSIONS
TVA believes that the reduced commitments in the proposed revised .program continue to satisfy the criteria of Appendix B and the QA program description commitments previously accepted by the NRC for the following reasons:
a. The abrading purge dam particles demonstrated varying degrees of plasticity--from soft and pliable (when not heat affected) to brittle enough to break in a person's fingers (when heat affected). Refer to Attachment B.
E83146.01
@I2
A safety analysis has been done showing that occasional 1/8-inch purge dam particles will not jeopardize plant safety. Refer to Attachment A.
b. The residual purge dam on the pipe wall will slowly dissolve. Refer to Attachment B.
c. The glue will not have any detrimental metallurgical effects on the pipe wall. Refer to Attachment C.
The above results are summarized in the final report to NCR 1725.

NSA REVIEW OF PURGE DAM PARTICULATE IN PRIMARY SYSTEMS
A. Background
Paper purge dams utilized during welding of stainless steel were located too close to the weld area, resulting in overheating of the glue used for attachment of the paper purge dams. This overheating has made removal (by system flushing) of the purge dam material difficult. NSA was requested to evaluate the seven systems listed to determine the effects of glue and paper purge dam particulate on the ability of the system perform its intended safety function.
The systems evaluated were:
a. Makeup and purification (MP) system b. Decay heat removal (DUR) system c. Waste disposal (WD) system d. Reactor building spray (RBS) system e. Spent fuel cooling (SFC) system f. Chemical addition and boron recovery (CABR) system g. Core flood (CF) system
B. Assumptions
The following assumptions were made to facilitate completeness of the review.
a. Glue and paper purge dam particulate vill be limited to 1/8-inch or less.
b. The number of particles (quantity of particulate) in any given system or portion of a system at any given time will be small. The assumption was made as size alone did not appear to be the only criteria, especially since we were concerned about plugging of lines, etc.
c. Particulate in the reactor coolant (RC) system will be reviewed by others to determine impact, i.e., if the system dumps into the RC system, this is acceptable from the system standpoint.
d. Particulate was assumed to be soft and malleable.
e. Only systems or portions of systems which perform primary safety functions were analysed in detail. However, interfaces with systems that perform primary safety functions were reviewed.

C. Results of Evaluation
1. The following generally summarizes the results of the
evaluation.
a. No adverse safety effects on process piping.
Justifications system piping is not small enough to be
obstructed by 1/8-inch particulate.
b. No adverse safety effects on system valves.
Justification: purge dam particles are too small and not
rigid enough to prevent valve opening or seating.
c. No adverse safety effects on drain or vent lines.
Justification: drain and vent lines serve no primary
safety function.
d. No adverse safety effects on instrument lines.
Justification: instrument lines are 1/4-inch, and pass
no flow that would cause entrainment of particulate.
e. No adverse safety effects on flow orifices or pressure
limiters. Justification: flow orifices and pressure
limiters are not small enough to be obstructed by 1/8-inch
particulate.
f. No adverse safety effect on heat exchangers.
Justifications tubes in heat exchangers are too large to
be obstructed by 1/8-inch particulate.
2. Specific results by system are summarized below:
a. The MP system performs primary safety functions of high
pressure injection (UPI) postaccident, and reactor coolant
pump seal cooling and boration control during normal
operation. The majority of this system is covered by
general anmeary above. However, specific areas of concern
include the lines to the reactor coolant pump seals, and
the fact that the 1/8-inch particulate does not meet the
minimum water chemistry standards per B&W equipment
specification and water chemistry requirements of 0.1 ppm
suspended solids.
b. The DUR system performs primary safety function of low
pressure injection (LPI) postaccident, and decay heat
removal postaccident and normal shutdown. No specific
areas of concern were uncovered for the DHR system.
However, it should be noted that the DIE system interfaces
directly with the RCS which was not covered in this
evaluation (see assumption c).

c. The WD system performs no primary safety function that can
be impeded by particulate. Its interfaces with other
systems is such that it would not be excepted to be of
concern for normal operation.
d. The RBS system performs the primary safety function of
containment energy removal postaccident. The evaluation
concluded no adverse effects in any areas.
e. The SFC system performs the primary safety function of
spent fuel cooling. The evaluation included effects of
of particulate on fuel cooling and flow blockage in the
pool. The evaluation concluded no adverse effects in any
area.
f. The CABR system performs no primary safety function that
can be impeded by the particulate. Its interface with
other systems that perform primary safety functions was
evaluated and determined not' to be a concern.
g. The CF system performs the primary safety function of
emergency core cooling during a LOCA. However, the
presence of particulate material will not prevent the
system from performing its intended safety function.
Conclusion of Evaluation
The following conclusions are based on numerous conversations with MEB
personnel and reflect NEB's understanding of what may be required to
obtain a reasonable margin of confidence that piping systems nave been
adequately flushed.
a. With exceptions as noted, the 1/8-inch acceptance criteria for
purge dam particulate will be acceptable from a safety standpoint.
b. Base on assumptions in part B. above (in particular a. and b.),
NEB recoMands that whatever flushing technique required be used
to clean the piping. It is recommended that those portions of
systems where areas of concern have been noted be flushed by that
technique that provides the greatest confidence the piping system
will meet the assumptions.
c. B&W and/or TVA must justify the acceptability of 1/8-inch
particulate in the reactor coolant system.
d. Process pump seals and reactor coolant pump seals should be
evaluated in more detail to determine the effect of particulate.
E52238.02
Attachment 2
The following are resolutions of items b, c, and d of the Conclusions of Evaluation section of the report. These resolutions were made after completion of the evaluation in 1982.
b. MEB has verified they will use that method which shows the greatest confidence the piping system will be clean and meet the assumptions in the NEB report.
c. Based on results of stirred autoclave tests performed by the Division of Nuclear Power temperatures of 40007 or above would dissolve the glue in less than 100 hours. Thus, any glue particulates entering the reactor vessel during power operation (6300F) would not affect core cooling.
d. Cyclone separators have been placed in the seal cooling lines of process pumps. The separators are specifically designed to remove particulate; however should 1/8 or less size particles enter the seals, in our judgement, the particulate should not adversely affect the seals due to the small quantity and the material composition.

Objective: To test the solubility of Elmer's Glue All versus the solubility of Elmer's School Glue (both products of the Borden Company) used in purge dams under specified laboratory conditions which approximate the conditions in a nuclear reactor and the interfacing piping system.
Introduction
On August 2, 1982, the Metallurgical Laboratory Section was requested to perform stirred autoclave tests at 200.F, 300"F, 400*F, and 500.F to determine the solubility of glue used in purge dams under conditions approximating those in a nuclear reactor and the interfacing piping systems. The two types of glue were placed on thirty-two stainless steel test coupons which underwent various baking, soaking, and drying procedures before being placed in the autoclave and tested at the specified temperatures. (See Table I.) The coupons were periodically removed from the autoclave and
examined. Autoclave testing was continued until a solubility rate at each temperature could be determined. Percent weight loss was used to indicate the solubility rate.
Equipment
Various laboratory equipment was used to perform the tests under the conditions
specified. A laboratory furnace and drying oven were used for the baking and drying procedures. The five percent acetic acid solution was heated in a beaker on a hot plate. An autoclave with a stirring head was used to approximate
the conditions in a nuclear reactor and the interfacing piping system. All weights were determined by using a Gram-atic four place balance.
Test Procedure
The coupons were ground on 240 grit paper to give a smooth surface and then
cleaned ultrasonically in acetone. A view of these coupons is shown in Figure 1A. Each sample was weighed and the results recorded. (See Table II.) Elmer's Glue All was applied to sixteen coupons and Elmer's School Glue to
the remaining sixteen. The glue was allowed to cure for twenty-four hours at room temperature. A sample of each glue type after curing is shown in Figure 1B. The weights of the coupons were determined after curing and recorded. (See Table II.) Eight coupons each of both the Glue All and the School Glue were baked in a 400OF furnace for approximately two hours. A sample of each glue type after baking is shown in Figure 1C. The remaining eight coupons of each glue type were baked at 500*F for approximately two

M81-82-4184 Sheet 2 of 3 September 24, 1982
hours. The 500.F baking temperature was used instead of 600*F - 700.F
temperature originally requested because the glue charred and flaked
off after baking at 650.F. (See Figure lD.) After the coupons cooled,
their weights were determined and recorded. (See Table II.) Four Glue All
test coupons baked at 400*F and four baked at 500*F were soaked for
twenty-four hours in five percent acetic acid solution heated to 145F.
The same soaking procedure was used for the Sch6ol Glue test coupons baked
at both temperatures. After soaking in acetic acid,. the coupons were
rinsed in running warm water and dried in a.laboratory oven. After drying,
they were weighed and the results recorded. (See Table II.)
At this point the test coupons were ready for autoclave testing at 200-F,
300-F, 400-F, and 500.F. The tests were performed using 6500 ppm boric
acid buffered with lithium hydroxide to a pH between 5 and 6. After the
solution was prepared and placed in the autoclave, coupons to be tested
at a specific temperature were placed on the bottom of the autoclave bomb.
The autoclave was heated to temperature and the stirring head was used
to agitate the solution. The coupons were removed periodically, dried,
and weighed. The pH of the solution was also checked periodically and
adjusted or changed to maintain a pH between 5 and 6. Autoclave testing
was continued until a solubility rate at each temperature could be
determined.
Explanation of Results
Some experimental procedure and equipment problems were encountered.
As was pointed out earlier, baking at 650.F caused the glue to char and
chip off from the coupons. This baking temperature was lowered to 5000F.
The glue curled up on coupon No. 11 during the acetic acid soak.
(See Figure 1E.) Care was taken during soaking not to allow the glue
surfaces to touch. Test coupons tested at 300*F had approximately half
of their glue chipped off or curled up during testing (Figure 1F) possibly
due to contact with the stirrers. The coupons affected were No. 11 and
No. 7. Coupon No. 32 was also chipped upon completion of the second
autoclave run at 200*F. These abnormalities are reflected in the Percent
Weight Loss versus Time graphs. Glue curling and peeling off test coupons
was also observed after the second autoclave run at 400*F. (See Figure 2A.)
It was detected upon removal of the coupons from the autoclave. After
drying the glue was still soft. Deposits of glue were found in the
autoclave but could be easily removed. (See Figure 2B.) At 500*F testing
the glue flaked off in the autoclave and care had to be taken not to remove
the glue from the coupons when handling. (See Figure 2C.) Test coupons
No. 9 and No. 17 (Figure 2D) had all of the glue removed except several
spots. These-weights were lower than the original weights recorded for the
samples before glue was applied. The samples were cleaned and reweighed.
These weights were taken as the original weights of the coupons and used
in the weight loss percentage calculations.
Two sets of heaters in the autoclave had to be replaced and returned to the
manufacturer for evaluation. When the second set of heaters burned out,
a hole was also burned in the case so testing was continued at minimum
pressure at each temperature. The building line voltage was reduced to
ensure that the heater maximum voltage was not exceeded. .A power outage
M81-82-4184 Sheet 3 of 3 September 24, 1982
after hours caused an approximate test time to be set for the nonacetic acid soak test coupons at 400.F for the first autoclave run. This
approximation was based on a straight line curve of a slope of 1 from the results of the second autoclave run. The approximation was seven hours. Test coupons affected were No. 6, No. 14, No. 22, and No. 30.
The coupons baked at 400.F generally had a slightly faster rate of glue removal (approximately 2 - 4 percent) than those baked at 500*F. This
percentage did not include those test coupons whose glue curled or flaked off during testing. Those coupons were not representative of the group tested.
Soaking in acetic acid only increased the solubility from 1-3 percent in most cases. In Table II it is shown that the coupons experienced a
slight weight gain after soaking in the 5 percent acetic acid solution.
The glue weight after soaking was used as the total glue weight before
autoclave testing and was used in calculating weight loss. (See Note 1
on Table II.) The glue weight after baking was used as the total glue
weight for the coupons that did not undergo the soaking procedure. (See Note 2 on Table II.)
The pH was monitored during testing and a summary of the results are
given in Table III. As necessary to maintain a pH between 5-6, the solution was buffered with lithium hydroxide or a new solution was
prepared.
A summary of the data indicating autoclave testing temperature, time, and percent weight loss f or each coupon is given in Table IV. Percent weight loss versus testing time graphs are given in Figures 3-10.
Conclusions
Based on the results given, temperatures of 400*F and above would
adequately remove both glue types from the purge dams in less than 100 hours. The Elmer's Glue All was generally slightly more soluble
at temperatures of 300.F and above than the School Glue. Baking the test coupons at 400*F produced a more soluble product for both glue types than baking at 500*F. Soaking in acetic acid increased the solubility slightly on both glue types.

SUBJECT: BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT - METALLOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION OF THE 304 SS PIPE WITH PAPER.ANP GLUE ON ITS ID SURFACE
. In response to request 5-7-82-2, the section of 304 SS pipe with purge dam paper and glue on its internal surface is shown in photograph 1. The thermocouple wires connected to the inner surface of the pipe are also shown. Figure 1 gives the dimensions of the specimen as received by SME.
. A longitudinal section through the paper/glue in the middle position of the specimen was taken for metallographic examination. The location of each section relative to the thermocouple wires can be identified. The longitudinal specimen was cut into four sections for mounting and polishing. The layer of paper and glue is identified in the micrographs. Photographs 2a through 2d show the id surface of pipe at various points along the charred paper and glue after etching with 10 percent oxalic acid. These pictures, taken at 100X magnification, show the austenite grain structure of the 304 SS to be free of intergranular attack. Other photographs, 3a through 3d, taken at 500X, further illustrate no intergranular attack due to paper and glue.
A sample of the glue and paper was analyzed for leachable halogens and results are given in the attached chemical analysis test report.

BLED-50-438/82-27, BLRD-50-439/82-24 10 C7R 50.55(e) FINAL REPORT
Descriotion of Deficiency
Some glue used in installation of purge. dams in stainless steel piping appeared insoluble during flushing activities, and =inor glue residual remains in piping at purge dam locations. This problem was anticipated during the resolution of noneonformance report (NCR) 835. The dispositionof NCR 835 directed discontinuing the use of Elmers Glue-All and recomended using Elmers School Glue. The insoluble glue residual has been identified as Elmers Glue-All used before NCR 835 and Elmers School Glue that has been affected by heat from welding activities. When purge dams are located too close to the welds, the currently used and normally soluble Elmers School Glue will char and become much less soluble.
Safety Imnlications
It has been determined through tests and analyses described below that no condition adverse to the safe operation of the plant exists. This conclusion is based on the following observations:
1) The purge dams will not cause stress corrosion cracking of the pipe.
2) Very little purge dam residual remains on the pipe wall after preoperational flushing. The residual remaining will all dissolve during plant operation. Solubilized purge dam :aterial is not harmful to the systems. Any particles that may break loose before dissolution is complete will not obstruct any piping or instrument lines.
Corrective Action
Based on the attached supporting information, TVA has concluded that glue residual left in piping systems will not cause a safety problem. Laboratory tests have shown that even the glue that was initially thought to be insoluble will dissolve. Flushing of systems thus far has shown that demineralized water flushing can achieve removal of enough of the purge dam residue so that the possibility of large pieces breaking loose is highly unlikely. TVA will revise the acceptance criteria for proof flushing particulates to allow purge dam particles up to 1/8-inch in any dimension. This revision will be accomplished by November 8, 1982.
In addition, purge dam residual on the pipe wall will be acceptable provided that the system has met the proof-flush acceptance criteria. The reactor coolant pump seal water injection-line in the Makeup and Purification System will be flushed with acetic acid to remove as much of the purge dam residue as possible. This will be accomplished by October 15, 1983. TVA has revised the welding specificatices to ensure that purge dams are placed far enough from the weld to prevent charring of the glue. TVA has also increased welder awareness that substitution of the specified Elmers School Glue is not permitted. No other TVA nuclear plants are affected by this problem.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION FOR NCR 1725
Metallurgical Testing
Metallurgical testing and chemical analysis has shown that residual purge dam materials remaining in contact with 304 stainless steel will have no detrimental effects on the piping material during operation of the plant.
The Dissolvo Water soluble purge paper (WLD-60) contributes virtually all of the halides present in the purge dam residue. Specific ion tests have shown leachable chlorides in the range of 170-200 parts per million.
Tests show that purge dam materials closer than 3/ 4 -inch from the edge orf a weld reach a temperature of approximately 6000 F. At this temperature the material carbonizes to the extent that it flakes off much the same as food in a self-cleaning oven, and subsequent flushes remove the flaking material.
T4o pnt,.ntial modes of cracking have been addressed:
1. Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)
The purge dam residue is a minimum of 3/4-inch from the edge of the weld. This is beyond the distance at which residual stresses from welding are present. In the absence of tensile stress, SCC does not occur.
2. Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC)
The heat affected zone (HAZ) of the weld extends to a maximum of approximately 3/16-inch from the edge of the welds. As stated previously, the purge dams are located a mini=um of 3/4-inch from the weld and, therefore, the potentially aggressive environment' is not present in the HAZ.
Additional tests performed at TVA Singleton Laboratory determined that no har=ful effects should be expected even if the purge dam materials were left in contact with the base aterial. Samples of glue with added chloride levels of over 1000 ppm were baked on pipe samples and autoclaved at 1500 F and 5500 F in borated water. After 24 hours virtually all chlorides were leached from the glue at both temperatures. The 304 stainless base materials were subsequently examined microscopically -for corrosive effects.
After 96 hours of exposure there was no apparent attack. Because virtually all chlorides leach out of the glue after 24 hours of exposure, TVA anticipates no adverse effects from the relatively small amount of material remaining.
I.
Attachment Page 2
TVA can anticipate no harmful effects on the stainless steel pipe as a result of purge dam residuals remaining in contact with the stainless steel pipe-during system operation.
Acetic Acid Testing and Flushing
Laboratory testing was performed to deter4=- what solvents are available that could be used to remove the glue from the pipe. Testing showed that acetic acid was the most promising solvent. Acetic acid aided in the removal of the noncha-rred glue; however, it did not have an appreciable effect on the charred glue. The second interim report on NCR 1725 stated that acetic acid would be tried out on a system that had not been previously flushed. Since there were no systems available that had not been flushed, the trial was run on the Reactor Building Spray System (with the exception of the spray headers and the sodium hydroxide tank and piping).
The Reactor Building Spray System bad been previously flushed with water, but removal of a flanged spool piece. revealed ecocharred purge dam resilual on the pipe all. Thus the pipe interior could be visually inspected before and after the acetic acid flush. The system was flushed with 5 pergent acetic acid for approximately 24 hours at temperatures up to 145 F. Inspection of the piping after the acetic acid flush showed that most of the purge dam residuals had been * removed from the pipe wall.
Autoclave Tests
Autoclave testing was performed to determine what effect high temperate:r water will have on charred glue since it is the most insoluble. Stainless steel coupons were prepared using both Elmers Glus-All and Elmers School Glue. Coupons were baked in an oven at 400 F and 5000 F to simulate purge dams that were placed too close to the welds. Half of the coupons representing all of the above conditicns were soaked in acetic acid to simulate acetic acid flushing of the piping systems.
The coupo=s were placed in the autoclave which contained berated water representative of reactor coolant. The autoclave was operated at temperatu-es ranging from 200 F to 500 F to identify temperature effects cn the glue. The test results show that the charred glue will dissolve, and that the autoclave temperature is the only variable hat has an effect on the dissolution rate of the charred glue. At 200 aF about 6 percent of the charred glue dissolved in 90 hours. At 300 Fs 19 percent of the charrea glue dissolved in-78 hours; at 4000 , 84 percent of the charred glue dissolved in 51 hours; and at 5000 F, over 93 percent of the charred glue dissolved in 40 hours.
These results show that given enough time, the glue deposits will eventually dissolve. The results also show that any glue particles that get into te reactor will dissolve in the reactor, since it operates at 600 F.

Deieralized Water Flushing
Several systems have been flushed with demineralized water to date.
These include the Spent Fuel Cooling and the Reactor Building Spray
Systems. Three flow paths on the Spent Fuel Cooling System were
flushed with =heated demineralizer ater. One flow path could not
meet the acceptance criteria of 1/32-inch by 1/16-inch pafrticle size.
However, the particleg were less than 1/8-inch. The flow path was
then flushed with 180 F water. After ihe hot water flush, the
acceptance criteria could still not be met, even though the particles
being detected were still less than 1/8-inch. Spool pieces were
removed so that the pipe interior could be visually-'examinfed. Reactor
building spray train B was also flushed with cold demineralized water
before the acetic acid flush. The path was flushed to the 1/32-inch
1/16 inch particulate acceptance criteria with demireralized water.
Inspection of the pipe interior after the flush showed some noncharred
purge dam glue ridges in the pipe. Flushing of these and other flow
paths has demonstrated that the systems can be flushed to a point where only tightly adherent glue ridges are left in the pipe and that
only small particles break loose from these ridges during system
operati'o..
Safety Analysis of Particulates
All of the systems were analyzed with respect to problems which could
be caused by particulates breaking loose from purge dam residuals
during plant operation. The analysis was based on the assunption that
glue particles up to 1/8-inch could be present in the operating syste=s. Based on this analysis, plant safety will not be sompromised
with glue particles up to 1/8-inch present in the Waste Disposal (WD), Chemical Addition and Boron Recovery (CA&3R), Reactcr Building Spray
(RBS), Core Flooding (CF), Decay Beat Removal (DER), Spent Fuel Pool
Cooling and Cleanup (SF?CC), and Makeup and ?urification (Mu&?)
Systems. ?umps in the RBS, DHR, SFPCC and MU&? Systems are equipped
with cyclone separators in the seal water supply so that particles in
the seal water would be removed. before getting to the pump seals. The
water in instrument sense lines is stagnant; therefore, it is highly unlikely that purge dam particles could find their way into instrument
lines or cause problems.

February 14, 1983
Mr. Steven D. Weinman Nuclear Engineering Administrator Codes and Standards Division The American Society of Mechanical Engineers 345 East 47th Street New York, New York 10017
Dear Mr. Weinman:
ANSI N45.2.1-1973, SECTION 3.1.2
We are writing to request clarification of the intent of wording used in the subject standard as related to Class B cleanliness criteria, specifically the wording used in section 3.1.2. The subject standard has been incorporated into all TVA cleaning procedures for nuclear plants with the intent to comply with these standards. Recently, TVA's interpretation of the subject standard has raised some questions.
Background
When flushing is the only practical means for determining system cleanliness, Class B systems which have been flushed to the acceptance *criteria specified for proof flushes are observed to .occasionally contain some remaining particulates and debris deposited at points of stagnation exceeding the acceptance criteria which the flush met. This observation is made when flush paths are opened for service some time after preoperational flushing. TVA believes that it is not unusual to find some particulates or debris in a complex flush path, particularly in the 1ev points of the flush path and occasionally lodged in crevices. TVA also believes that this situation is not necessarily a reflection on the effectiveness of the flush. Furthermore, TVA believes that extending or repeating previously proofed flushes will not materially improve this situation (e.g., lodged material will not necessarily dislodge, and some types of particulates will never flush out of the system).
Question 1
When flushing is the only practical means for determining cleanliness, does a 20-mesh or finer side stream cartridge filter, or equivalent, connected to a 1- or 2-inch drain line near the end of a flush path for once-through flushes satisfy the intent of ". . . filter or equivaltnt installed on the outlet of the cleaning circuit?"
An Equal Opportunity Employer . . . ....... ...
2
Mr. Steven D. Weiman February 14, 1983
Reply 1
Yes, provided the water that passes through the cartridge filter is reasonably representative of the process flow.
Question 2
When flushing is the only practical means for determining cleanliness, does a 20-mesh or finer side stream cartridge filter, or equivalent, connected to a 1- or 2-inch drain line any place in the flush path for recirculating flushes satisfy the intent of ". . . filter or equivalent installed on the outlet of the cleaning circuit?"
Reply 2
Yes, provided the water that passes through the cartridge filter is reasonably representative of the process flow.
Question 3
When flushing is the only practical means for determining cleanliness and the system has been flushed at.normal design velocity and the evaluation of the particulates on the filter (or screen) establish that the acceptance criteria has been met, is it a requirement of N45.2.1 that the system be opened and accessed to perform a visual examination of low spots, dead legs, and components?
Reply 3
No.
Ouestion 4
If, in routine maintenance of components such as pumps and valves, the covers are removed and particulates are discovered in the internal system
. cavities, which exceed the size of particulates which are acceptable for . establishing prior system cleanliness, does the flush become invalid and
have to be repeated?
4b.
3
Mr. Steven D. Weinman February 14, 1983
Reply 4

Your letter of February 14, 1983 ASE File # QA 83-2
Our understanding of the questions in your inquiry, and as follows:
our replies are
Question 1: when flushing is the only practical means for determining cleanliness, does a 20-mesh or finer side s tream cartridge filter, or equivalent, connected to a 1- or 2-inch drain line near the end of a flush path for once-through flushes satisfy the intent of "...filter or equivalent installed.on the outlet of the cleaning circuit?"
Reply 1: Yes, provided the water that passes through the cartridge filter can be demonstrated to be representative of the process flow.
Question 2: When flushing is the only practical means for determining cleanliness, does a. 20-mesh or finer side stream cartridge filter, or equivalent, connected to a 1- or 2-inch drain line any place in the flush path for recirculating flushes satisfy the intent of "...filter or equivalent installed.on the outlet of cleaning circuit?"
Reply 2: Yes, provided the water that passes through the cartridge filter can be demnnstrated to be reoresentative of the process flow.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of this interpretation when or if additional information is available which the inquirer believes might affect the interpretation. Further, persons aggrieved by this interpretation may appeal to the cognizant AS ME committee or subcommittee. As stated in the foreword of the code documents. ASME does not "approve,""certify," "rate." or "endorse" any item, construction, proprietary device or activity.

Question 3: When flushing is the only practical means for determining
cleanliness and the system has been flushed at normal design velocity
and the evaluation of the particulates on the filter (or screen) esta
blish that the acceptance criteria has been met, is it a requirement
of N45.2.1 that the system bb opened and accessed to perform a visual
examination of low spots, dead legs, and components?
Reply 3: No, under the conditions of the standard that flushing
is the only practical means of determining cleanliness.
Question 4: If, in routine maintenance of components such as pumps
and valves, the covers are removed and particulates are discovered
in the internal system cavities, which exceed the size of particulates
which are acceptable for establishing prior system cleanliness, does
the flush become invalid and have Eo be repeated?
Reply 4: No, the proofing of the system flush reported material whiich
was in transport in the flush water. Any debris retained in low spots,
crevices, stagnation points, and dead legs are not considered part of*
the cleanliness evaluation. If debris is not removed by system flushes
at normal flow, it would not be expected to be transported during plant
operation. Prudent engineering practice would direct removal of debris
of the nature described above whenever found.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region II Attn: Mr. James P. O'Reilly, Regional Administrator 101 Marietta Street, Suite 3100 Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(a)(3)(iv), enclosed is Revision 7 to TVA's Topical Report, TVA-TR75-1A, "Quality Assurance Program Description for Design, Construction, and Operation of TVA Nuclear Power Plants." TVA has decided to distribute Revision 7 before the NRC review has been completed because the new TVA quality assurance program under the TVA Office of Quality Assurance is being implemented, and the program description contained in Revision 7 is needed by TVA and NRC staff. This submittal has been discussed with and concurred in by Charles M. Upright of your staff.
Revision 7 is a major change to the TVA Quality Assurance Program description. The topical has been reformatted to be consistent with the description of TVA's integrated quality assurance program for design, construction, and operation. The major format changes have been the consolidation of all organizational descriptions into section 17.0 and the relocation of all figures and tables to the appendices. Additionally, the organizational descriptions have been updated to provide a consistent level of detail for the various TVA organizational units, and portions of the section 17.1 and 17.2 program descriptions have been revised to provide a more accurate description of our current program and practices.
Revision 7 review by your staff, as submitted to you by my letter dated July 11, 1983, has not been completed. Consequently, the proposed change to table 17D-1, sheet 1 (exception to ANSI N45.2.1) has been deleted until NRC review has been completed. Additionally, exceptions to ANSI N45.2.12, items 4.4 and 4.5 in table 17D-3, sheet 8, have been deleted until NRC review has been completed. Three editorial corrections to the review draft were made, which are:
1. Revision bars have been added beside Regulatory Guide 1.54 on sheets 7 and 8 of table 17D-1 and on sheets 7 and 8 of table 17D-2. Regulatory Guide 1.54 was added to those tables-in Revision 7 but the revision bars were accidently omitted. Also, the Regulatory Guide 1.54 revision and date were added to sheet 7 of table 17D-2 because they were accidentally omitted.
2. A paragraph has been removed from item M on sheet 7 of table 17D-3 to correct a typographical error. This paragraph was accidentally duplicated from another sheet and is unrelated to item M.
-2
Mr. James P. O'Reilly December 12, 1983
3. Sheet 2 of table 17E-1 has been revised to include the Construction Responsibility Descriptions Manual which was inadvertently omitted from the submitted version of Revision 7. Sheet 3 now includes material displaced from sheet 2 by the revision.
The results of your review of Revision 7 will be incorporated either into an amended Revision 7 or a Revision 8, as appropriate.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please get in touch with D. L. Lambert at FTS 858-2733.

-I ENCLOSURE
BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 INSOLUBLE GLUE USED FOR PURGE DAMS IN STAINLESS STEEL PIPING
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR NRC-NRR EVALUATION
Below is TVA's response to concerns raised by Paul Woo as discussed with him on April 2, 1984.
1. Instrument lines are different from "dead legs" with respect to tendency to trap flow transported particles. TVA has referred to nonflowing branch lines (valved out, or blind flanged or capped off) as "dead legs." Instrument lines, on the other hand, are small diameter (3/8-inch outside diameter) tubing. The potential for dropping off flow transported particles at the branch connection of a dead leg is much greater than at an instrument line connection because of the typical size and geometry of each. Dead legs can be any size and located anywhere. In contrast, the instrument line connections on process pipes are comparatively small, and at BLN are located on the side (not the bottom) of the pipe. Particles could not "drop" into the instrument line branch connection during process pipe flushing or normal operation. Since the instrument lines are stagnant during normal operation and isolated at the root valve during process line flushing (usually the tubing is not yet installed), virtually no migration of particles is expected beyond the immediate vicinity of the branch connection. We also note that the instrument lines are flushed after the process line is flushed. Following the flushing of the instrument lines, there will only be flow in them when they are bled during maintenance. If a blockage occurred as a result of this flow, it would be noticed and corrected during the maintenance activity.
2. TVA does not believe that the small amount of purge dam material left in the piping will cause stress corrosion cracking for the following reasons:
a. There is not enough purge dam material in the systems to affect water chemistry. We have determined (refer to attachment 1) that if all of the purge paper that has been purchased for BLN to date were put into the reactor coolant system (RCS), the increase in the chloride level of the reactor coolant would be less than 1.0 ppm (note that the chloride limit of ANSI N45.2.1 is 1 ppm). This is a very conservative estimate because much paper was wasted in the process of making the purge dam, the paper was used in both units 1 and 2 (the calculation provided in attachment 1 is based on the RCS of one unit), and most of the paper was flushed-out of the sytems during preoperational flushing.
b. Flushing is performed with demineralized water. TVA procedures require that initial and final flush water be analyzed and must have a chloride concentration less than 0.15 ppm.
c. Any purge dam residue remaining on the wall of the pipe is not in the sensitized weld area.
d. Flushing is expected to leach most of the chloride from the residue that remains on the wall of the pipe. Testing by TVA's Singleton Lab has shown that more than 80 percent of the
chloride leaches out into ambient temperature demineralized water in 24 hours, and that more than 96 percent leaches out if a second leach is performed with fresh water. Attachment 2
documents the results of the Singleton Lab tests.
e. During hot functional testing and normal plant operation, the oxygen concentration in the reactor coolant will be reduced to less than 0.1 ppm with hydrazine before the temperature is raised above 250 0F (refer to B&W Test Specification 5000 Reactor Coolant System Test; B&W Operating Specification 0132 - Plant Startup; and B&W Operating Specification 11-01 - Plant
Limits and Precautions).
* -ATTACHMENT 1 PAPER PURE CHLORIDE CONCENTRATION CALCULATONS
Purpose
Estimate the increase of the chloride concentration in the reactor coolant system if all purge paper that has been purchased for BLN were
placed in the reactor coolant system just prior to hot functional testing.
Given
1. To date, 88 rolls (approximately 1,600 lbs) of purge paper have been purchased for BLN.
2. Volumes: Reactor coolant piping - 40,800 gals.
Steam generator (primary'side) - 30,500 gals.
Reactor coolant pumps
Total
- 1,200 gals.
- 72,500 gals.
Assumptions
1. The volume of the reactor vessel is assumed to be 0. The volume of the vessel without internals is 43,100 gal. The volume with internals is not immediately available. Therefore, to be conservative, it is assumed to be 0.
2. The chloride concentration of the glue used to install the purge dams is negligible in comparison with the purge paper and assumed to be 0.
3. The chloride concentration of the purge paper is 250 ppm.
Computations
Amount of Cl in the purge paper:
(1600 lb paper) ( 250 lb Cl ) 0.4 lb
106 lb paper
Cl in the paper
Amount of water in the reactor coolant system:
(72,500 gal)(8.34 lb/gal) = 604,650 lb water
Concentration of Cl in the water:
(0.4 lb Cl )( 1 ) = 6.6 x 107 lb Cl per lb H20
604 ,650 lb H20
or 0.66 ppm Cl in the water
Summary of Results
If all of the purge paper that has been purchased for BLN had been placed in the reactor coolant system just prior to hot functional testing, the Cl- concentration of the reactor coolant would have increased by approximately 0.66 ppm due to the CL- in the paper.

DATE April 5, 1984
SUBJECT: BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT - EVALUATION OF PURGE DAM RESIDUE FOR TOTAL AND LEACHABLE CHLORIDES
- In response to request 3-27-84-4, tests have been performed to determine the chloride content of purge dam residue after incubation at ambient temperature (70 to 75 F) in stagnant water. Samples prepared to simulate purge dam-residue-were tested after drying at ambient temperature and after drying and heating at 4000F.
Samples dried at ambient temperature formed a uniform gelatinous mass when submerged in 150 ml of water. These samples would dissolve completely in larger volumes of water and consequently. all chloride would go into solution. Samples dried at 4000F softened but did not dissolve in water.
More than 80 percent of the chloride was leached within 24 hours from the
samples into quiescent ambient temperature water.
Exnerimental
Two pieces ("2.5 g each) of purge dam paper were coated on both sides with Elmer's School Glue and pasted together. Most of the samples were heated at 400oF for 1 hour; tests were also run on samples dried at room
temperature. The weight of paper, weight of glue after air drying, and weight of sample after the 4000 F drying were determined. Samples were cut in -1/2-in. to 1-in. pieces, immersed in 150-ml deionized water in plastic bottles, and incubated at ambient temperature (70 to 75 0 F) for initial times of 24, 48, or 72 hours. Second and third leaches were also done in 150-m1 aliquots of deionized water. The chloride ion content of the leach solutions was measured with a chloride selective ion electrode.

BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT - EVALUATION OF PURGE DAM RESIDUE FOR TOTAL AND LEACHABLE CHLORIDES
Results
After 24 hours incubation in water at 70 to 75 F, samples dried at ambient temperature were completely solubilized, i.e., the sample plus water was a fairly homogeneous gelatinous mass. - Since the entire sample dissolved, removal of chloride from this kind of material on a pipe surface is obviously complete.
The glue plus paper samples dried at 400oF to simulate heated purge dam residue turned dark brown and no longer immediately formed a gel on 0 contact with water. These samples softened when incubated in 70 to 75o water, but remained almost intact after 72 hours in quiet solutions. However, approximately 80 percent of the leachable chloride was removed from this residue in 24 hours.
There is little difference in the percent chloride removed among 24-, 48-, and 72-hour first leach tests, indicating equilibration between the paper and volume of solution present is nearly complete in 24 hours. In the presence of a larger volume of solution or in a stirred solution, more complete removal of chloride would be expected to occur during the first leach.
These tests show leachable chloride in heated purge dam 0 residue (paper plus glue) is reduced 80 to 90 percent by a 24-hour, 70 F immersion in a limited amount of water. The results show a 96 percent or greater removal of chloride occurs after a second leach.
