SIGNIFICANCE OF SCRATCHES
UNDERSTANDING SCRATCHES Delivery Robot • Remote-controlled robot • Reached 99% of shell – Lower part of 3-inch-thick base plate not visible 20
UNDERSTANDING SCRATCHES Camera Inspections • Precision digital borescope • Measures depth and length of indications 21
UNDERSTANDING SCRATCHES Observations • In situ inspections of 8 canisters – Canisters identified for inspection included 8/3 and 7/22 canisters – Most observed wear was very shallow at 0.000 to 0.005 inches – Deepest wear was .026 inches (< thickness of credit card) – ASME code conservatively .0625 inches 22
UNDERSTANDING SCRATCHES Conclusions • Wear marks far below depth that would be a safety concern • Incidental wear during downloading poses no safety significance • Passive oxide layer re-forms to protect from corrosion • Canister containment integrity remains robust • Inspection & Maintenance program will monitor over time 23
