Since Alloy 600 is sus- ceptible to PWSCC, the degradation mechanism has been observed in these nozzles. The industry has used several methods to mitigate PWSCC, including replacement of nozzles fabricated of Alloy 690. After the replacement of the nozzle, the structural integrity analysis of new nozzle and welds should be performed to ensure the pressure boundary compliance with the original design re- quirement. The PWR pressurizer top head instrument nozzle is evaluated. Thermal stress of the transients was obtained from 3D FEM analysis and residual stress of J-groove weld was obtained from 2D FEM analysis. Stress intensities and residual stress were conservatively determined and used for the ASME Code, stress intensity analysis, fatigue crack growth analysis and fracture me- chanics analysis. All of the analysis showed that the repaired nozzle satisfies the ASME Code design requirement.
