15、 West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.FIG. 1 Managing Non-Conforming CoatingsD7491082ANSI/ASTM standards typically require DBA testing of coat-ings and extensive documentation associated with the applica-tion of the qualified coatings. This may be a more significantrequirement to satisfy

16、than for an older plant which has notmade commitments to these requirements.6.2 The key to ensuring plant safety is to manage theamount of non-conforming coatings so that it does not exceedthe amount assumed in calculations that support plant opera-tion, such as sump suction strainer head loss.6.3 M

17、anaging non-conforming coatings, must consider thecapacity of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)suction strainer to accommodate debris expected to reach theECCS suction strainer (including coating debris) withoutreducing the overall ECCS pump net positive suction head(NPSH) margin below an acc

18、eptable value. Those plants withsignificant operational NPSH margin for accommodating ad-ditional debris may require less precision when determining theamount of non-conforming coatings; simplified bounding tech-niques may be sufficient.6.4 The non-conforming condition may also affect otherplant des

19、ign and licensing limits, such as coating thicknessaffects on the accident heat transfer and peak temperaturecalculations, and Fire Hazards Analysis.7. Determining the Amount of Non-Conforming Coatings7.1 Essentially every plant has some amount of non-conforming coatings inside of primary containmen

20、t and thismay be an acceptable condition. There are two considerationswhen identifying non-conforming coatings.7.1.1 Does the coating meet the licensing basis commit-ments?7.1.2 Is there reasonable assurance the coating will notdetach during normal operation or a Design Basis Accident(DBA)?7.2 The a

21、mount of coating that was applied inconsistentwith licensing commitments and design requirements needs tobe identified.7.3 It may also be appropriate to review procurementdocuments (including records of work performed ) for equip-ment installed in containment to determine if coating applica-tions pe

22、rformed off site conforms to licensing bases and designrequirements.7.4 If records cannot be found that identify the types andquantities of coatings (for example, weight or volume) in-stalled in containment, then some area, thickness, and densityestimations need to be performed.7.5 The results of th

23、e investigation should be tabulatedaccording to the various containment surfaces, indicating thetype, quantity, location, and qualification classification of thecoating applied. Photographic documentation is also helpfulfor reference to the findings.7.6 The tabulation should also consider identifica

24、tion of thecomplete coating system as applied.7.7 Periodic reassessment or establishing a new baselineshould be considered.8. Guidance on Managing Non-Conforming Coatings8.1 Once an accounting of the amount of non-conformingcoatings is determined, a decision will need to be made as tohow to manage t

25、he results. It is important to know the reasona particular area of coating is non-conforming.8.1.1 Conditions that may cause a coating to be non-conforming:(1) Lack of or incomplete documentation for the applica-tion process.(2) Lack of or incomplete documentation regarding appli-cator qualification

26、.(3) Lack of or incomplete documentation regarding inspec-tor qualification.(4) Lack of incomplete design change documentation forthe use of alternate coatings.(5) Improper or inadequate specification of technical andquality procurement requirements for services and materials.(6) Improper dedication

27、 of commercial grade coatings.(7) Incomplete documentation for the testing used toestablish conformance with the design bases.(8) Incomplete/inadequate specifications and procedures.(9) Undefined or vague personnel qualification criteria.(10) Degraded coatings, both qualified and unqualified.(11) Mi

28、sapplication of a DBA qualified coating system.8.2 Remove, Repair, or Replace Non-Conforming Coatings:8.2.1 If a condition assessment reveals that the coating hasphysically degraded in service, the degraded coating should beremoved or replaced in accordance with the coatings programas appropriate to

29、 restore that area to a qualified status.8.2.2 Another option may be the replacement of a non-conforming coating with a qualified or an acceptable coatingsystem.8.3 Mitigate the Consequences of Further Coating Degra-dation:8.3.1 To preclude the removal, repair, or replacement ofnon-conforming coatin

30、gs, techniques may be used to mitigatethe consequences of further degradation and detachment ofcoatings.8.3.1.1 These measures may include construction of con-tainment devices around the equipment coated with the non-conforming coating to prevent debris formation or transport.8.3.1.2 The acceptable

31、resolutions must be based on plant-specific conditions, and the impact such containment wouldhave on the operation and maintenance of the equipment.8.4 Evaluate the Safety Impact of Non-Confoming Coatings:8.4.1 An evaluation that determines the impact of thenon-conforming coating on the operation of

32、 the ECCS suctionstrainers following a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) mayneed to be performed.8.4.1.1 Typically, this will be required only when the totalamount of non-conforming coating exceeds the amount con-sidered in the ECCS suction strainer head loss calculation.(a) Consideration of the failu

33、re characteristics of thecoating, the time of failure, and the transport and strainer headloss characteristics of the detached coatings can all be used inthe evaluation.8.4.1.2 Use of the plant corrective action program willtypically be required when the amount of non-conformingcoatings exceeds that

34、 considered in the current ECCS suctionstrainer head loss calculations.D74910838.4.2 Non-conforming coating can also have a potentialimpact on other safety related SSC performance, such as theaffect on the pressure/temperature curves during a LOCA orMain Stream Line Break (MSLB), Fire Hazards Analys

35、is, etc.,and should be evaluated accordingly.8.5 Managing the Addition of New Coatings:8.5.1 The coatings program should address the use ofappropriate controls, such as procedural requirements andspecifications, to ensure that the amount on non-conformingcoatings does not increase in an uncontrolled

36、 manner.8.5.2 The introduction of new equipment or structuralcomponents as a result of plant modifications or maintenanceon existing equipment and structures could lead to an unwantedincrease in the amount of non-conforming coatings. Therefore,the plant modification and maintenance programs should h

37、avea means to evaluate such potential impacts.8.5.3 The Nuclear Coatings Specialist should ensure thattechnical requirements specified for replacement or repaireditems, adequately addresses coatings program requirements.8.5.4 Acceptance of their respective responsibilities, byother licensee organiza

38、tions, for example, design engineeringand procurement, who do not own the overall coatings pro-gram, is an important issue. The responsibilities of otherdisciplines should be clearly resolved early in the developmentof a safety-related coatings program.8.5.5 Controls should be provided to address th

39、e use ofpaints and inks for labeling and stenciling. Some are organicmaterials and may not be included in the coatings program.8.6 Upgrading Non-Conforming Coatings:8.6.1 The upgrade of non-conforming coatings to an accept-able status can be accomplished by conducting those evalua-tions and/or tests

40、 that will compensate for the missing orincomplete documentation that supports the acceptability of thecoating. The activities performed should result in reasonableassurance that the coatings were acceptable when applied.8.6.2 It is important to recognize that the objective inmoving particular coati

41、ng work from a non-conforming statusto an acceptable status is the achievement of reasonableassurance that is consistent with the licensing basis of the plant.8.6.3 The requirements for the evaluation/test are not pre-defined because they should be tailored to address the specificweaknesses identifi

42、ed.8.6.4 In some cases, it may be appropriate to supplement thedocumentation evaluation with limited testing to bolster theconclusions or address areas where the results of the documen-tation evaluation are inconclusive.8.6.5 In lieu of performing extensive documentation re-views to upgrade the stat

43、us of a coating, it may be morepracticable and cost-effective to perform the necessary teststhat would provide at least an equivalent level of assurancewith regard to coating acceptability as would be achieved viaa documentation review.8.6.6 An acceptable method is to perform DBAqualificationtesting

44、 on representative samples of the non-conforming coat-ings. Acceptance of the test results will also require supportingdocumentation of the application of the original coating toensure the samples are representative of the coating beingtested. Alternately, actual samples from the facility may beremo

45、ved and DBA tested, if practical.9. Documentation9.1 Design Basis Limits for Non-Conforming Coatings:9.1.1 Each plant should have a documented basis for theamount on non-conforming coatings that currently exist withinthe containment structure and are part of the debris source termin the design of th

46、e ECCS suction strainer configuration.9.1.2 This documentation should provide the maximumacceptable quantity of non-conforming coatings allowed withinthe containment structure.9.2 Documentation of Actual Total Non-Conforming Coat-ings:9.2.1 The Nuclear Coating Specialist should maintain a logor some

47、 other documentation that details the quantities of eachtype on non-conforming coating.9.2.2 This documentation should include the type of non-conforming coating, the quantity of each, the location, why itis non-conforming, and the plan if any, to resolve the non-conformance.9.2.3 This documentation

48、 should be updated or revised eachrefueling cycle with the removal, remediation, replacement, oraddition of non-conforming coatings.9.2.3.1 The effect on design margin of the ECCS systemshould also be assessed by this update.10.
