DescriptionKey ActivitiesStatus Issues / Resolution



Description This project is a continuation of the current flaw fabrication in CASS components

project that ended in 2012. This project will conduct a NDE capability study to present the unbiased facts

regarding CASS inspections. A series of mockups will be manufactured by adapting the flaw fabrication

techniques developed in the previous project and applying them in mockups with challenging and realistic geometry. Additionally, this project will allow EPRI to continue generating the technical

update that summarizes the current CASS projects and activities.

Manage participants in the 2016 windows We extended this project into 2016 and have included the option for participation in the first half of the year




Status To date, EPRI has had three organizations committed to participating in the CASS RRS (one in

April and two in August). EPRI hopes to gain a few more before the end of the year. EPRI has scheduled a meeting at the NDE Technology Week that will provide the utilities and

vendors an opportunity to discuss CASS RRS participation in an open forum. During the meeting, EPRI staff would like to further discuss a number of options that may help increase the number of participants and data points.

Recently, EPRI staff attended the second quarter ASME meeting and lead the CASS Task Group. During the ASME meetings, EPRI staff provided the committee with an update on the progress of the CASS RRS and other CASS research. During the ASME meeting, the NRC reported that PNNL was provided funding that will allow them to participate in the CASS RRS.

PNNL had a meeting at EPRI during the second week of June 2016 to discuss their schedule and inspection protocol. They are tentatively planning to collect data for the CASS RRS the first part of August 2016 and come back at a later date to perform the analysis.




Issues / Resolution We have scheduled two organizations in 2016 and are working to finalize the schedule for one

more. We hope to convince at least two other organizations to participate throughout the year. During the TAC meeting presentations EPRI staff suggested a few methods of increasing the

number of participants: Offer an analysis-only option using the EPRI fingerprint data

Send mockups and personnel overseas to collect additional data points

Publish the report in 2017, allowing additional data points to be collected late in 2016

The utility members have been receptive to the options laid out by EPRI staff and they recommended that an informal round table discussion between EPRI, utility members, and inspection vendors be coordinated during the annual NDE Technology Week. The hope is to obtain a few additional participants by allowing the utility members to highlight their need for active participation in the CASS RRS.

Please contact Doug Kull or Carl Latiolais if you have any questions regarding the RRS or if you would like help discussing participation with your inspection vendor.




NDE for Control Rod and Control Blade InspectionManager: Jeremy Renshaw, 704-595-2501, [email protected]

DescriptionKey ActivitiesStatus Issues / Resolution, Deliverables

SCOPE - Green Green No change in scope (key activities or deliverables) since last update.

BUDGET - Yellow Yellow Bringing 2017 funding into 2016, accelerated scope.




NDE for Control Rod and Control Blade InspectionManager: Jeremy Renshaw, 704-595-2501, [email protected] This project is working to develop inspection methods for the evaluation of control rods and control

blades that are in service at nuclear power plants to evaluate for material degradation and neutron absorber loss. In the nuclear industry, there have been a number of occurrences at boiling water reactor (BWR) of control blades with cracking and washout of neutron absorber materials, causing shutdown margin issues for plant operations. This project seeks to collaborate with the industry to perform inspection activities to identify inspection methods for identifying degraded control blades and/or rods to ensure continued safe operation.

Several NDE techniques have been proposed for inspecting control rod blades including guided waves, hyperspectral imaging, x-ray, and neutron radiography. Two control blade mockups have been procured with various conditions of interest (empty tubes, water-filled tubes, tubes partially filled with B4C, and tubes filled with B4C). To date, all of the NDE techniques proposed have been performed on the control blade mockups with the exception of neutron radiography. Neutron radiography testing was performed by one of the collaborating partners.

Key Activities




Status The project is on track in terms of the original proposed scope, schedule, and budget. All three of

the identified laboratory techniques have been evaluated in a lab, now on two mockups (one new in 2016). EPRI has also obtained neutron radiography data from a vendor showing its capabilities and has done in-house simulation studies of neutron radiography.

Currently, the project is working to set up an inspection of an identified control blade at a utility site since the costs for a hot cell inspection of the control blade increased substantially. The utility, vendor, and EPRI are working together to put an NDA in place to better share data and work together to perform this work in 2017.

EPRI is also working to put together a custom X-ray inspection system for control blade inspection that will be faster and cheaper to deploy than the current technologies and will also be deployed for the poolside inspection of the control blade.




Issues / Resolution No issues encountered to date. All of the work has been completed on time and on budget. The "yellow" budget item is due to the fact that the total budget has not changed, but the project

will spend some of the 2017 budget in 2016 to accelerate some of the planned work scope.

Procedure Demonstration for Single-Sided Ultrasonic Examinations for Stainless Steel PipingManager: Mark Dennis, 704-595-2648, [email protected]

SCOPE - Yellow Yellow Scope was changed to focus on manual techniques which is inline with NDE advisor input.


SCHEDULE - Green Green Deliverable is on schedule.

DescriptionKey ActivitiesStatus Issues / Resolution, Deliverables



Description This project builds upon recent activities involving the ultrasonic examination of similar metal austenitic piping welds with single-sided

access conditions that generally challenge far-side flaw detection. The previous study was successful in detecting circumferentially-oriented non-IGSCC defects. However, there were a few open items: Evaluation of manual ultrasonic techniques (including ultrasonic phased array technology) Procedure qualification for non-IGSCC piping applications with favorable inside-surface geometries Improved far-side flaw detection for IGSCC-susceptible piping

These open items will be explored in this new project. The goal of this project is to develop an ultrasonic procedure for single-sided access that does not require the removal of the weld crowns.

The objective of any NDE method is to obtain 100% coverage of the examination volume to assess component integrity. For ultrasonic inspections of austenitic piping welds using conventional approaches, this amount of coverage is sometimes not possible when thetransducer is prohibited from scanning from all directions. Limited coverage examinations due to single-sided access for austenitic piping welds can also lead to tedious and costly relief requests. Technology that can increase examination volume coverage for this application needs to be researched and deployed for field use. Both manually applied and encoded techniques will be evaluated.

This project is essential for those critical components that can only be examined ultrasonically from one direction. A qualified procedure, even with limitations, could reduce the number of relief requests submitted due to access conditions.

At the end of this project, the industry will have a qualified procedure for the examination of inside surface-connected cracking in similar metal piping. Depending upon the results of this project, the qualified procedure may be limited to circumferentially-oriented flaws for non-IGSCC piping applications. The intent of this activity is to develop an ultrasonic inspection procedure for single-sided access conditions that will allow stainless steel piping weld crowns to remain in place while meaningful examination volume coverage is still achieved.

Flexible arrays Short evaluation of flexible ultrasonic array technology for far side flaw detection. Complete

Demonstration Limited procedure demonstration. 3-4 Qtr 2016



Status Because robotic scanners cannot be used in every inspection condition, EPRI members requested that this project begin with a

feasibility study to evaluate the use of manually applied ultrasonic techniques for single-sided access austenitic piping welds. EPRI completed this feasibility study in 2015 and documented the results in Technical Update 3002005443, Procedure Demonstration for Single-Side Ultrasonic Examinations for Stainless Steel Piping: Manual Phased Array Ultrasonics. Unfortunately, the manuallyapplied methods using one test candidate resulted in an impractical number of false calls. For this reason, the remainder of this project has focused on the encoded methods.

Previous work using electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) technologies were successful in detecting flaws on the far side of austenitic welds; however they were lacking encoding capabilities. While EPRI has been working with a manufacturer to evaluate encoding the EMAT data, the refresh rates are not sufficient for data acquisition.

EPRI conducted an assessment of flexible arrays scanning on top of weld crowns for axial flaw detection; however these flexible arrays did not work as well as dual 2D array transducers with beam skewing.

At the request of an NDE advisor, the remainder of the year will be spent completing the procedure demonstration activities (primarily manual) and documenting the limitations (inside surface geometry, pipe size, weld crown width, etc.).




Issues / Resolution Due to the recent scope change, resources have been secured to conduct additional manual trials for far

side flaw detection.

Development of Ultrasonic Procedures for Branch Connection WeldsManager: Mark Dennis, 704-595-2648, [email protected]


SCOPE - Yellow Yellow Focus group provided feedback and reduced project scope.


SCHEDULE - Yellow Yellow Based on focus group feedback (reduced scope) all required tasks are complete making the project complete as well.



Description The objective of this project is to optimize ultrasonic parameters for the examination of welded branch

connections that can be found in both boiling water reactors (BWRs) and pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Examples of these branch connections include sweep-o-let recirculation piping welds in BWRs and Alloy 600 nozzles welded to carbon steel loop piping in PWRs. If necessary, a survey of branch connections across EPRI member utilities worldwide will be conducted to assess the extent of this potential inspection issue. If warranted, mockups will be manufactured for training and demonstration activities and ultrasonic procedures will be augmented to address these configurations.

This activity is needed due to the complexity of the inspection geometry that is created when two cylindrical components are welded together to yield a saddle configuration. In addition to the geometrical challenges, the austenitic and Alloy 600 weld materials impact the ultrasonic responses necessary for flaw detection and sizing. While the existing equipment used on standard piping welds can be effective, the techniques require modification to accommodate these branch connections. Regulators have already questioned how some utilities plan to examine some of these configurations that may lead to increased requests for inspections that were not originally planned. This project will provide the industry with an opportunity to be proactive in addressing this potential issue.

Status In December 2015, EPRI completed a limited evaluation of this branch connection issue that can be found in

Technical Update 3002005455, Development of Ultrasonic Procedures for Branch Connection WeldsLiterature Survey. Based on EPRIs evaluation, this ultrasonic inspection issue for PWRs is limited to a few plant designs (one CE designed plant and the B&W designed plants). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Regulatory Issue Summary 2015-10 on July 16, 2015, identifying regulatory concerns regarding the affected components and defining their expectations that utilities would review the Regulatory Issue Summary for applicability and ensure that their Alloy 600 management plans incorporate applicable welds. The conclusions of the technical update support this recommendation.




Issues / Resolution EPRI requested the assistance of a few NDE members to determine if additional work is warranted. EPRI

has also secured a former NDE Integration and MRP Inspection Committee member to assist with this activity. The team (focus group) was recently assembled in June 2016.

A webcast meeting was conducted on Tuesday July 26, 2016 with the focus group members. Attendees: Kevin Hacker (Dominion Generation Company), Taehun Lee (Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power - KHNP), Alan Scheanwald (FirstEnergy Corporation), Dewey Munson (FirstEnergy Corporation), Mark Dennis (EPRI), Terry McAlister (EPRI- Contractor). The focus group determined that no further actions are needed for this project. The recommendation from the focus group is to consider this project complete and move to closure.




Industry Encoded Procedures for Similar and Dissimilar Metal Piping WeldsManager: Mark Dennis, 704-595-2648, [email protected]


SCOPE - Yellow Yellow Despite software delays, projects scope remains on track.





Description Fully automated systems frequently provide the most reliable data for ultrasonic inspections and are often

used to better characterize defects and resolve indications. Coupling automation with ultrasonic phased array technology can improve the overall technique and yield valuable volumetric information with less physical scanning. The objective of this project is to expand existing EPRI encoded ultrasonic phased array procedures for similar and dissimilar metal piping welds to include equipment from other manufacturers. The goal of this project is to increase the number of available qualified phased array instruments that can be used with a given procedure.

This project is needed because encoded examinations are generally preferred for complex examinations such as dissimilar metal weld piping. Having only a handful of qualified instruments from one equipment manufacturer to support the nuclear industry does not provide the fleet with many options. A method of easily adding new instruments to existing encoded ultrasonic phased array procedures for piping applications is needed so that the industry can continue to use these procedures even as new equipment is offered.

At the end of this project, the industry will have updated encoded ultrasonic phased array procedures that can be used with various instruments for similar and dissimilar metal piping weld applications. Utilities should have a smaller number of inspection procedures to review since the industry standard procedures would cover a large range of equipment, personnel, and configurations. As a result, implementing automated inspections for piping applications with ultrasonic phased array technology should be an easier task.




Key Activities



Procedure modifications Update encoded ultrasonic phased array procedure for dissimilar metal welds to include Olympus Focus PX system.

Delayed until September 2016 due to Olympus software delays.

Data acquisition Collect and refine data for comparison with existing results to determine equivalency. 2-3 Qtr 2016

Procedure demonstration Conduct dissimilar metal weld encoded demonstration using updated procedure. 3-4 Qtr 2016



StatusThe first phase of this project is intended to focus on the more

challenging dissimilar metal piping weld inspections. EPRI has secured resources familiar with the commonly used encoded ultrasonic phased array procedures and how they are implemented in the field. EPRI is in the process of modifying the existing encoded dissimilar metal weld procedure for use with other instruments. This involves building delay laws, setups, layouts, and collecting corresponding data for comparison with existing results with other instruments. While the process changes with the instrument and software that is used, data collected on a limited number of flaws suggest that equivalency can be achieved.




Issues / Resolution There have been some software challenges which must be resolved before the Olympus Focus PX

instrument can be used with techniques similar to those which have already been qualified for piping applications. Olympus is working with EPRI and procedure users to modify the data acquisition and analysis software. EPRI has moved forward with other instruments until the Olympus software is ready to keep this project on track.

With input from inspection services vendors who use similar procedures, EPRI has reconfigured the documents to be more efficient, compact, and user friendly. Adding instruments will also be much easier with this new format.

Investigation of Acoustic Emission Technologies for Monitoring Inaccessible Regions of Dry Fuel Storage Systems - 3002007816 Primary Audience: Nuclear Power Utility Used Fuel Management Staff Secondary Audience: Nondestructive Testing and Plant Maintenance Personnel Key Research Question

This report documents research to evaluate the feasibility of using acoustic emission testing (AE) to assess the structural integrity of dry cask storage system canisters. AE sensors are highly sensitive to the stress wave response of crack propagation events; therefore, AE sensors are not required to be deployed in close proximity to localized degradation as with typical nondestructive methods, such as ultrasonic testing or eddy current testing. This makes AE an attractive approach to assess the structural integrity of dry cask storage systems without the need for advanced sensor delivery devices.

Research Overview The research documented in this report was performed through a series of three field trials. These trials

were performed at geographic locations with access to mockups of dry storage canisters or canisters that had not yet been loaded with spent fuel. Testing consisted of attaching sensors to various locations of the dry storage canister system and introducing artificial AE sources to areas of interest. This first test was used to determine which sensors had the highest sensitivity. Subsequent testing was used to evaluate the attenuation of the signal response as the artificial source was moved farther away from the sensor. Signal response and amplitude were recorded to characterize the capability of the dry storage system to transmit AE signals.


Investigation of Acoustic Emission Technologies for Monitoring Inaccessible Regions of Dry Fuel Storage Systems - 3002007816 Key Findings

Three first-of-a-kind field trials have been successfully completed to show the feasibility of deploying AE as means to monitor the structural integrity of dry cask storage systems.

Various AE sensors have been evaluated to determine which resonant frequencies provide the highest amplitude response, using various artificial sources to simulate cracking events.

Multiple AE data acquisition systems have been studied to evaluate wired and wireless hardware applications.

This feasibility study determined that AE is capable of monitoring structural integrity and that further research is warranted to enhance the monitoring technique for specific applications and different dry storage canister configurations.

Why This Matters This research evaluates structural health monitoring methods that would support independent spent fuel

storage installation license renewal commitments to support aging management of welded stainless steel canisters.

How to Apply Results Structural monitoring methods using these technologies may be needed as part of a pre-application

process and/or as part of the implementation of an aging management program. Being familiar with the current research results and future follow-on project results will support that need.

Learning and Engagement Opportunities The work discussed in this report is coordinated with other nondestructive evaluation (NDE) development

opportunities via EPRI's Extended Storage Collaboration Program NDE Subcommittee

Remote Visual Testing Image Analysis3002007814 Abstract Remote visual testing (VT) is routinely used by nuclear utilities to find cracks, damage, and deformation in

reactor internals and to inspect for other conditions such as wear, embrittlement, void swelling, and the presence of foreign materials. The remote visual inspection method is the predominant nondestructive technique for the inspection of both PWRs and BWRs. Common applications include nozzle inside corner region surface inspection and internal components in PWRs such as core barrel welds and baffle plate assemblies, as well as internal components in BWRs such as core shroud and core spray piping welds. The application of remote VT typically requires the use of radiation-tolerant video systems, including cameras, monitors, and recording hardware. A variety of cameras are deployed, some with zoom capabilities and others with fixed focal distances. The recorded images are viewed by trained analysts that examine specific components and welds to document the presence of surface cracking or other damage mechanisms.

Background Remote visual inspection is widely used to inspect reactor pressure vessel internals. For many years, this

method has successfully been used to detect surface cracking in aging components. The success of the remote enhanced visual testing techniques (EVT-1) in detecting in-service cracking relies on the skills and performance of the qualified data analyst who views all video data. The investigation described in this report focused on technologies that have the potential to assist the analyst in minimizing human performance errors associated with detecting cracking in both live and recorded video. In general, this report focuses on hardware options for collecting displacement data and increased resolution as well as software used for automated crack detection and video filtering.


Remote Visual Testing Image Analysis3002007814 Objective

To document technology, both software and hardware, that has the potential to improve image analysis capabilities of qualified visual testing (VT) analysts

Approach This report describes an investigation of hardware and software technologies that could have a positive

effect on the ability of VT analysts to reliably detect cracks. Methodologies explored were the use of a 3-D laser topography for imaging cracks, an assessment of 4000-pixel resolution action cameras, the discussion of automated crack detection using image processing techniques, and image filtering for the removal of radiation-induced noise.

Results This report describes several promising technologies that could have a beneficial effect on data quality

and analysis consistency. Hardware and software tools that either complement current technologies, improve image quality with increased capability, or assist the analyst with computer-based flaw detection are described.

Applications, Value, and Use All utilities that perform remote VT to inspect plant components may be interested in the details provided.

The results of this investigation have the potential to enhance visual examination of reactor internal components by minimizing human performance errors through an assortment of technological tools


Evaluation of Platforms for Aging Management of Concrete Structures3002007810 Key Research Question

The design of an aging management approach for civil structures may need the implementation of an aging management program into a platform that allows for improved data collection, storage and data use. Software platforms for aging management can house all of the relevant data in one centralized location as well as assist engineers with analysis of aging management data. The main research question addressed in this report is:

What are the benefits and factors that need to be considered before adopting a software platform for aging management programs of civil infrastructure?

Research Overview This project evaluates the benefits and limitations of commercially available software platforms

for aging management programs of civil structures. First, EPRI explored the different types of data formats used for aging management

purposes and collected a dataset from a nuclear containment building for the assessment. The data set included construction data, inspection and repair data over period of 30 years. Next, a survey on commercially available platforms was performed and four platforms

covering a broad range of functionalities were selected. The dataset was implemented into each of these platforms and key functionalities for aging management were assessed.


Evaluation of Platforms for Aging Management of Concrete Structures3002007810 Key Findings

Overall, all software platform analyzed can perform most functionalities necessary for aging management of civil structures.

Because the aging management approach to civil structures is not uniform among utilities, no single platform may be the best option for all utilities. Utilities are encouraged to analyze the benefits and limitations associated with each platform.

A main concern for utilities with many years of operations is the large amount of historical data that needs to be transferred to a centralized location and incorporated into aging management activities. The implementation of historical data into these platforms can be a time consuming process that need to be carefully evaluated.

Why this matters Large repairs or replacement of plant infrastructure may not be economically viable and could lead to early

retirements. Aging management of plant infrastructure can ensure that degradation is detected and mitigated before structures lose their intended functionalities. The data associated with aging management such as inspection, monitoring and trending data are critical and should be housed in a centralized location to make analysis easier for plant personnel. An evaluation of the availability of software platforms is needed when designing aging management programs. This report supports this evaluation.

How to Apply the results Plant personnel in charge of designing the approach and implementation of aging management programs

should focus on chapter 4, where the main functionalities of each type of platform is analyzed


Concrete NDE for Damage due to Pattern Cracking - ASR and FT Damage3002007806 Key research Question

Concrete deterioration caused by freeze thaw damage and alkali silica reaction (ASR) may be found in structures across the different energy sectors and is typically documented with visual inspection as pattern cracking on the surface of the concrete.

Some of the research questions addressed in this report are: Can these deterioration mechanisms be characterized using nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods? Can NDE techniques be used to monitor the progression of alkali silica reaction? What methods can be used to characterize and monitor the progression of the damage? What are the limitations of these NDE techniques when used for the characterization and monitoring of concrete

with ASR and freeze thaw damage? Research Overview

Mockup specimens with different levels of deterioration due to freeze thaw and ASR were fabricated. The deterioration was induced by selecting mix design materials that would assist the deterioration process. Further, the samples were subjected to an environment that would accelerate deterioration and tested with different NDE methods. The NDE test method results were compared to the results of the visual inspection.

For the freeze thaw damage, samples were fabricated with non-air entrained concrete and subjected to freeze thaw cycles in an environmental chamber. The progression of deterioration was monitored and the samples were removed from the chamber after reaching different levels of deterioration.

The ASR samples were fabricated with concrete containing reactive aggregates and high levels of alkalis. The samples were subjected to a high moisture (~ 98% RH) and high temperature (~38C) to promote the ASR reaction. The progression of deterioration was monitored by taking expansion measurements and, in most cases, data was collected at different points in time in an effort to characterize the progression of the damage.


Concrete NDE for Damage due to Pattern Cracking - ASR and FT Damage3002007806 Why this matters

This research study provides information on deteriorated concrete, describes testing processes, and test parameters used to characterize damage due to freeze thaw and ASR. These techniques can be deployed on large structures and are commercially available. Therefore, these results can be applied by any interested party with knowledge in the use of concrete NDE.

The techniques covered in this study range from techniques that have been used in other research studies for similar applications to state of the art techniques for which limited information has been published. The study provides information on how the data was used to characterize and monitor the deterioration.

How to apply the results Parties interested in the inspection of concrete with freeze thaw damage should refer to Part I of this

report. Members interested to monitor freeze-thaw in their structures, can use the EPRI mockups for training

before testing at the site. Parties interested in the inspection and monitoring of ASR affected structures should refer to Part II of this

report. The report includes the methodology used to prepare large scale ASR affected samples. This can be

used by utilities and researchers interested in fabricating mockups with ASR damage.

2017 NDE Workplan Projects Assigned to the Technology TAC

We will review the new projects planned to start in 2017 with a focus on opportunities for advisor

engagement and technology transfer


Preparing for 2017

The roles and responsibilities of the TACs include: Defining industry needs and emerging issues to formulate strategic research

plans Ensuring that research activities are aligned with Program strategic objectives Advising on scope, schedule, and technology transfer for R&D projects Advising on sequencing of research projects within RFAs Advising EPRI project managers on research activities, and assisting in

resolving issues as needed Acting as the sponsor of projects within the responsibility of the TAC, such as

reviewing project performance including deliverable status and scheduleAs we get ready to start the 2017 new projects each TAC has been

asked to take a look at the new projects with a focus opportunities for advisor engagement and technology transfer


Implementation Categories

Projects results in the form of a technical report or technical update are assigned an implementation category

Its important to that we get this right!


What is an Impact Project? Section 8 of the NDE Administration

procedure (3002006936) describes a process to classify NDE projects as Impact Projects

Some NDE Program work activities may potentially have a negative impact on one or more member utilities. For example, a negative impact could arise as a result of late deliverables or if research results affected the operating basis of one or more units.

Projects within the scope of this procedure should receive an Impact evaluation using Consequence and Probability of Occurrence as defined in Figure 8-1


Classification of an Impact Project The initial determination should be made in

collaboration between the EPRI project manager and the project managers supervisor and documented using the Impact Evaluation Record form (see Figure 8-1). In addition, TACs may recommend projects for

Impact status. NDE program managers should communicate the results of the impact screen with the Director, EPRI NDE. The Director, EPRI NDE should communicate the list of Impact projects to the APC.

Think globally!
