Abstract
This report updates and supersedes the technical recommendations of NUREG-0313,
"Technical Report on Material Selection and Processing Guidelines for BWR
Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping," published in July 1977, and its subsequent
revision published in July 1980.
This report provides the technical bases for the NRC staff's revised recommended
methods to control the intergranular stress corrosion cracking susceptibility
of BWR piping. For piping that does not fully comply with the material
selection, testing, and processing guideline combinations of this document,
varying degrees of augmented inservice inspection are recommended. This
revision also includes guidance and NRC staff recommendations (not requirements)
regarding crack evaluation and weld overlay repair methods for long-term
operation or for continuing interim operation of plants until a more permanent
solution is implemented.
