-Amendment 11 License Renewal Application Amendment List, Revision 1 ATTACHMENT 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT AMENDMENT LIST, Revision 1 Audit item 11: LRA Section B.1.7 is revised as follows.1. Delete the exception to the BWR vessel internals program related to the core shroud (page B-27).2. Delete exception Note #1 on page B- 29.Audit item 26: Add the following text to LRA Section B.1.10 to include the "EQ Component Reanalysis Attributes" specified in NUREG-1801 Vol. 2 Section X.El.EQ Component Re-analysis Attributes The re-analysis of an aging evaluation is normally performed to extend the qualification by reducing excess conservatism incorporated in the prior evaluation.
Reanalysis of an aging evaluation to extend the qualification of a component is performed on a routine basis pursuant to 10 CFR 50.49(e) as part of an EQ program. While a component life limiting condition may be due to thermal, radiation, or cyclical aging, the vast majority of component aging limits are based on thermal conditions.
Conservatism may exist in aging evaluation parameters, such as the assumed ambient temperature of the component, an unrealistically low activation energy, or in the application of a component (de-energized versus energized).
The re-analysis of an aging evaluation is documented according to the station's quality assurance program requirements that require the verification of assumptions and conclusions.
As already noted, important attributes of a re-analysis include analytical methods, data collection and reduction methods, underlying assumptions, acceptance criteria, and corrective actions (if acceptance criteria are not met). These attributes are discussed below.Analytical Methods The analytical models used in the re-analysis of an aging evaluation are the same as those previously applied during the prior evaluation.
The Arrhenius methodology is an acceptable thermal model for performing a thermal aging evaluation.
The analytical method used for a radiation aging evaluation is to demonstrate qualification for the total integrated dose (that is, normal radiation dose for the projected installed life plus accident radiation dose). For license renewal, one acceptable method of establishing the 60-year normal radiation dose is to multiply the 40-year normal radiation dose by 1.5 (that is, 60 years/40 years). The result is added to the accident radiation dose to obtain the total integrated dose for the component.
For cyclical aging, a similar approach may be used. Other models may be justified on a case-by-case basis.Data Collection and Reduction Methods Reducing excess conservatism in the component service conditions (for example, temperature, radiation, cycles) used in the prior aging evaluation is the chief method used for a re-analysis.
Temperature data used in an aging evaluation is to be conservative and based on plant design temperatures or on actual plant temperature data. When used, plant temperature data can be obtained in several ways, including monitors used for Technical Specification compliance, other installed monitors, measurements made by plant operators during rounds, and temperature sensors on large motors (while the motor is not running).
A representative number of temperature measurements are conservatively evaluated to establish the temperatures used in an BVY 06-079 Page 1 of 12 A'TACHMENT 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT AMENDMENT LIST, Revision 1 aging evaluation.
Plant temperature data may be used in an aging evaluation in different ways, such as; (a) directly applying the plant temperature data in the evaluation, or (b)using the plant temperature data to demonstrate conservatism when using plant design temperatures for an evaluation.
Any changes to material activation energy values as part of a re-analysis are to be justified on a plant-specific basis. Similar methods of reducing excess conservatism in the component service conditions used in prior aging evaluations can be used for radiation and cyclical aging.Underlying Assumptions EQ component aging evaluations contain sufficient conservatism to account for most environmental changes occurring due to plant modifications and events. When unexpected adverse conditions are identified during operational or maintenance activities that affect the normal operating environment of a qualified component, the affected EQ component is evaluated and appropriate corrective actions are taken that may include changes to the qualification bases and conclusions.
Acceptance Criteria and Corrective Actions The re-analysis of an aging evaluation could extend the qualification of the component.
If the qualification cannot be extended by re-analysis, the component is to be refurbished, replaced, or re-qualified prior to exceeding the period for which the current qualification remains valid. A re-analysis is to be performed in a timely manner (that is, sufficient time is available to refurbish, replace, or re-qualify the component if the re-analysis is unsuccessful).
Audit items 30, 141, 146 and 298: LRA Section B.1.28 is revised to include an enhancement to perform C02 system inspections every 6 months under the System Walkdown Program. The required inspections will be initiated prior to the period of extended operation.
Commitment 30.Audit item 39: LRA Section B.1.12.2 is revised to delete the exception to the annual fire hydrant gasket inspections.
Commitment 31.Audit item 40: LRA Section B.1.12.2 is revised to delete the exception to the annual fire hydrant flow tests. Commitment 31.Audit item 48: LRA Section B.1.17 is revised as follows. "VYNPS inspection for water accumulation in manholes is conducted in accordance with a plant procedure.
An evaluation per the Corrective Action Process will be used to determine the need to revise manhole inspection frequency based on inspection results." Audit item 51: LRA Section B.1.18 is revised as follows. 'The first test of neutron monitoring system cables that are disconnected during instrument calibrations shall be completed before the period of extended operation and subsequent tests will occur at least once every 10 years.In accordance with the corrective action program, an engineering evaluation will be performed when test acceptance criteria are not met and corrective actions, including modified inspection frequency, will be implemented to ensure that the intended functions of the cables can be maintained consistent with the current licensing basis for the period of extended operation." BVY 06-079 Page 2 of 12 ATTACHMENT 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT AMENDMENT LIST, Revision 1 Audit item 53: To clarify the technical basis for sampling, the sampling discussion in LRA Section B.1.19 for the Non-EQ Insulated Cables and Connections Program is revised to read as follows. "Most cables and connections installed in adverse localized environments are accessible.
This program is a sampling program. Selected cables and connections from accessible areas will be inspected and represent, with reasonable assurance, all cables and connections in the adverse localized environments.
If an unacceptable condition or situation is identified for a cable or connection in the inspection sample, a determination will be made as to whether the same condition or situation is applicable to other accessible cables or connections.
The sample size will be increased based on an evaluation per the Corrective Action Process." Audit items 76, 80, 81, 243, 266, and 270: Aging effects on the drywell moisture barrier will be managed under the Containment Inservice Inspection Program instead of the Structures Monitoring Program. In support of this, the LRA is revised as follows.1. In the LRA Table 3.5.2-1 line item for "Drywell floor liner seal" change the aging management program from "Structures Monitoring" to "CII-IWE".
For clarification, change "drywell floor liner seal" to "drywell shell to floor seal (moisture barrier)." The clarification of this terminology also applies to Table 2.4-1 and Section B.1.27.2.2. In LRA Table 3.5.1 line Item 3.5.1-16 the Discussion column is revised to read: "The aging effects cited in the NUREG-1 801 item are loss of sealing and leakage. Loss of sealing is a consequence of the aging effects "cracking" and "change in material properties." For VYNPS, the Containment Leak Rate Program manages cracking and changes in material properties for the primary containment seal and gaskets. The Inservice Inspection -IWE Program manages cracking and changes in material properties for the drywell shell to floor seal (moisture barrier)." 3. In LRA Table 3.5.1, Line Item 3.5.1-5, the Discussion column last paragraph is revised to read 'The drywell steel shell and the moisture barrier where the drywell shell becomes embedded in the drywell concrete floor are inspected in accordance with the Containment Inservice Inspection (IWE) Program." 4. LRA Section 3.5.2.2.1.4 is revised to delete from the end of the first paragraph, the phrase "and Structures Monitoring Program".
The drywell to floor moisture barrier will be inspected under the Containment Inservice Inspection (IWE) Program only. The Structures Monitoring Program is not used.Audit item 77: LRA Section B.1.27.2 for the Structures Monitoring Program is revised to include an enhancement to perform at least once every five years an engineering evaluation of groundwater samples to assess for groundwater being aggressive to concrete.
Commitment 33.Audit items 85,. 86, 87, 166, 200, 227, 232, 233, 239, 240, 295, 297, 310, 312, 313, and 359: The effectiveness of the Water Chemistry Control -Auxiliary Systems, BWR, and Closed Cooling Water programs is confirmed by the One-Time Inspection program. To provide further clarification, LRA Appendix A is revised for these three water chemistry control programs to include the sentence 'The One-Time Inspection Program will confirm the effectiveness of the program".BVY 06-079 Page 3 of 12 ATTACHMENT 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT AMENDMENT LIST, Revision 1 Audit item 93: In order to address transmission connections, in LRA Table 3.6.2-1, change line item Transmission conductors to Transmission conductors and connections.
Revise Section 3.6.2.2.3 to include the following text after the second paragraph.
The aging effects for transmission conductors evident in industry operating experience are loss of conductor strength and loss of material (wear).The prevalent mechanism contributing to loss of conductor strength of an aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) transmission conductor is corrosion, which includes corrosion of the steel core and aluminum strand pitting. Corrosion in ACSR conductors is a very slow acting mechanism, and the corrosion rates depend on air quality, which includes suspended particles chemistry, S02 concentration in air, precipitation, fog chemistry and meteorological conditions.
Air quality in rural areas generally contains low concentrations of suspended particles and S02, which keeps the corrosion rate to a minimum. Tests performed by Ontario Hydroelectric showed a 30% loss of composite conductor strength of an 80 year old ACSR conductor due to corrosion.
VYNPS transmission conductors include ACSR and aluminum conductor alloy reinforced (ACAR) conductors.
ACAR conductors are aluminum conductors reinforced with alloy steel. ACAR conductors are more resistant to loss of conductor strength since the core of the conductor is a more corrosion resistant alloy steel. AMR conclusions regarding ACSR conductors conservatively bound ACAR conductors.
The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) requires that tension on installed conductors be a maximum of 60% of the ultimate conductor strength.
The NESC also sets the maximum tension a conductor must be designed to withstand under heavy load requirements, which includes consideration of ice, wind and temperature.
These requirements are reviewed concerning the specific conductors included in scope at VYNPS.The 4/0 ACSR conductors have the lowest initial design margin of any transmission conductors included in the AMR. The Ontario Hydro test and the NESC requirements illustrate with reasonable assurance that transmission conductors will have ample strength through the period of extended operation.
Therefore, loss of conductor strength due to corrosion of the transmission conductors in not an aging effect requiring management for the period of extended operation.
Loss of material due to mechanical wear can be an aging effect for strain and suspension insulators that are subject to movement caused by transmission conductor vibration or sway from wind loading. Design and installation standards for transmission conductors consider sway caused by wind loading. Experience has shown that transmission conductors do not normally swing and that when they do swing because of substantial wind, they do not continue to swing for very long once the wind has subsided.
Wear has not been identified during routine inspection; therefore, loss of material due to wear in not an aging effect requiring management.
Audit item 97: The VYNPS Metal-Enclosed Bus program ten element comparison to NUREG-1801 (excerpt from the Aging Management Program Evaluation Report LRPD-02) will be provided in later correspondence along with associated revisions to the LRA.BVY 06-079 Page 4 of 12 ATTACHMENT 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT AMENDMENT LIST, Revision 1 Audit item 118: LRA Section B.1.17 is revised to replace the last sentence in the Program Description with; 'The specific type of test to be performed will be determined prior to the initial test and is to be a proven test for detecting deterioration of the insulation system due to wetting as described in EPRI TR-1 03834-Pl -2, or other testing that is state-of-the-art at the time the test is performed." Audit item 120: LRA Section B.1.17 Program Description is revised to state that medium-voltage cables include cables with operating voltage level from 2kV to 35kV.Audit item 124: LRA Section B.1.19 Program Description is revised to include the following.
'The program applies to accessible electrical cables and connections within the scope of license renewal that are installed in adverse localized environments caused by heat or radiation in the presence of oxygen." Audit Item 159: LRA Section B.1.12.1 is revised to add fire dampers to the list of components in the Program Description that require a periodic visual inspection.
Audit item 165: Line Items 3.3.1-50 and 3.3.1-51 in LRA Table 3.3.1 are revised to replace the Water Chemistry Control -Auxiliary Systems program in the Discussion column with the Water Chemistry Control -BWR Program Audit item 187: LRA section B.1.28 is revised to add the following enhancements.
The System Walkdown Program implementing procedure will be enhanced to specify that systems in scope and subject to aging management review for license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54 (a)(1) and (a)(3) shall be inspected.
In addition, the implementing procedure will be enhanced to provide guidance to inspect nearby systems with the potential for spatial interaction.
These enhancements will be implemented as shown in Commitment 24.Audit item 198, 216, 218, 237, 331 and 333: The VYNPS Bolting Integrity Program ten element comparison to NUREG-1801 (excerpt from the Aging Management Program Evaluation Report LRPD-02) will be provided in later correspondence along with associated changes to the LRA.The Bolting Integrity Program will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation in accordance with Commitment 34.Audit item 203: LRA Table 3.1.2-3 is revised to indicate that with the exception of the head seal leak detection line, the Inservice Inspection Program applies to all component types of Piping and fittings < 4" NPS with an aging effect of cracking in addition to the Water Chemistry Control-BWR and One-Time Inspection Programs.Audit Item 209 and 291: LRA Table 3.1.2-1 on page 3.1-52 is revised to remove all the line items for the component type of Thermal Sleeves Feedwater Inlets (N4). The thermal sleeves are not subject to aging management review since they perform no intended function for license renewal. The sleeves are installed with an interference fit rather than welded so they have no impact on the reactor coolant pressure boundary.Audit items 224, 225, 226, 229, 293, 294, 315, and 369: LRA Section B.1.21and the associated table, are revised to state that the One-Time Inspection program will verify effectiveness of the Oil Analysis and Diesel Fuel Monitoring programs by confirming the absence of loss of material, cracking and fouling, where applicable.

Cracking due to cyclic loading is not expected to occur in the drywell, torus and associated penetration bellows, penetration sleeves, un-braced downcomers, and dissimilar metal welds. A review of plant operating experience did not identify cracking of the components, and primary containment leakage has not been identified as a concern.Nonetheless the existing Containment Leak Rate Program with augmented ultrasonic exams and Containment Inservice Inspection
-IWE, will continue to be used to detect cracking.
Observed conditions that have the potential for impacting an intended function are evaluated or corrected in accordance with the corrective action process. The Containment Inservice Inspection
-IWE and Containment Leak Rate programs are described in Appendix B." Audit item 279: For clarification, LRA Table 3.5.1, Item 3.5.1-52 discussion is revised to read as follows. "Loss of mechanical function due to the listed mechanisms is not considered an aging BVY 06-079 Page 7 of 12 ATTACHMENT 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT AMENDMENT LIST, Revision 1 effect. Such failures typically result from inadequate design or operating events rather than from the effects of aging. Failures due to cyclic thermal loads are rare for structural supports due to their relatively low temperatures." Audit item 280: For clarification, LRA Table 3.5.1, Item 3.5.1-54 discussion is revised as follows. "Loss of mechanical function due to distortion, dirt, overload, fatigue due to vibratory, and cyclic thermal loads is not considered an aging effect requiring management.
Such failures typically result from inadequate design or events rather than the effects of aging. Loss of material due to corrosion, which could cause loss of mechanical function, is addressed under Item 3.5.1-53 for Groups B1.1, B1.2, and B1.3 support members." Audit item 282: For clarification, LRA Table 3.5.1, Line Item 3.5.1-34 discussion is revised to add "See Section 3.5.2.2.2.4(1)".
Audit item 283: LRA Table 3.5.1, Item 3.5.1-35 discussion is revised to replace ACI 301 with ACl 318 and add "See Section 3.5.2.2.2.4(2)" at the end of the existing discussion.

See Section 3.5.2.2.2.1(5) (although for Groups 1-5, 7, 9 this discussion is also applicable for Group 6). See Section 3.5.2.2.2.4(3) additional discussion.
Nonetheless, the Structures Monitoring Program will confirm the absence of aging effects requiring management for VYNPS Group 6 concrete components." To correct an administrative error, the heading of LRA Section 3.5.2.2.2.4 (3) is revised to begin with "Cracking Due to Expansion, Reaction with Aggregates...".
The term stress corrosion cracking is deleted from the heading as it does not apply to this section.Audit item 285: The Discussion column of LRA Table 3.5.1, Item Number 3.5.1-37, is revised to state the following. "Not applicable.

'The VYNPS Fatigue Monitoring Program will assure that the allowed number of transient cycles is not exceeded.
The program requires corrective action if transient cycle limits are approached.
Consequently, the TLAA (fatigue analyses) based on those transients will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i).
However, when the effects of reactor coolant environment on fatigue are considered in the existing fatigue analyses, several locations have a projected cumulative usage factor in excess of 1.0. See Section 4.3.3 for further discussion of the effects of reactor water environment on fatigue." Audit item 320: LRA Reference 4.3.1 on page 4.3-9 is revised as follows; "4.3-1 Sojka, R. E.(VYNPS), to USNRC Document Control Desk, "Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Vermont Yankee Core Shroud Modification," BVY 96-96, letter dated August 7, 1996." Audit item 322: LRA Section 4.3.1.3 is replaced with the following."VYNPS replaced reactor recirculation (RR) system piping in 1986. Also replaced were connecting portions of the residual heat removal (RHR) system piping. The new piping was designed and analyzed to ANSI B31.1 but was inspected and tested to ASME Section III requirements.
Stress analyses for the reactor recirculation system were performed to B31.1 requirements.
B31.1 does not require a detailed fatigue analysis that calculates a CUF, but allows up to 7000 cycles with a stress reduction factor of 1.0 in the stress analyses.
The 7000 thermal cycle assumption is valid and bounding for 60 years of operation.
Therefore, the pipe stress calculations are valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1)(i).
There are no TLAA for Class 1 non-piping components other than the reactor vessel as none of them are designed to codes that require fatigue analyses.UFSAR Section 4.6.3 states that the main steam isolation valves are designed for 40 years based on 100 cycles of operation the first year and 50 cycles of operation per year thereafter.
This statement may be interpreted to imply a TLAA. This TLAA will remain valid through the period of extended operation per 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1)(i).
The MSIVs will not exceed 2050 cycles in 60 years (34 cycles per year)." In addition LRA section 4.3.2 is replaced with the following.
'The design of safety class 2 and 3 piping systems incorporates the Code stress reduction factor for determining acceptability of piping design with respect to thermal stresses.
The design of ASME B31.1 Code piping also incorporates stress reduction factors based upon an assumed number of thermal cycles. In general, 7000 thermal cycles are assumed, leading to a stress reduction factor of 1.0 in the stress analyses.VYNPS evaluated the validity of this assumption for 60 years of plant operation.
The results of this evaluation indicate that the 7000 thermal cycle assumption is valid and bounding for 60 years of operation.
Therefore, the pipe stress calculations are valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1)(i).
There are no TLAA for any non-Class 1, non-piping components as they are not built to codes that require fatigue analyses.BVY 06-079 Page 9 of 12 ATTACHMENT 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT AMENDMENT LIST, Revision 1 Some applicants for license renewal have estimated that piping in the primary sampling system will have more than 7000 thermal cycles before the end of the period of extended operation.
The sampling system is used to take reactor coolant samples every 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> during normal operation.
However, the normal samples are taken from the RWCU filter influent, where the water has already been cooled. Thus normal sampling does not cause a thermal cycle. Alternate samples may be taken directly from the B discharge header of the reactor recirculation system via containment penetration X-41; however, this is an infrequently performed procedure and this piping, designed to ASME B31.1, will not exceed 7000 cycles prior to 60 years of operation." Audit item 335: LRA Table 3.5.2-6 lists the aging effects for component Penetration sealant, material elastomer in a protected from weather environment as "cracking" and "change in material properties."

For clarification, the LRA is revised to change 'Note C' to 'Note B' for this line item.Audit item 342: LRA Section 3.3.2.2.13 Loss of Material due to Wear is revised to state the following:
'Wear is the loss of surface layers due to relative motion between two surfaces.
At VYNPS, in the auxiliary systems, this specific aging effect is not applicable because the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning elastomer coated fiberglass duct flexible connections are fixed at both ends, precluding wear. This item is not applicable to VYNPS auxiliary systems." Audit item 345: LRA Table 3.3.2-13 lists the aging effect for component type of bolting, with a material of stainless steel in an air -outdoor (ext) environment as "none." The LRA is revised to identify loss of material as an aging effect for this line item as shown below.Bolting Pressure Stainless Air -Loss of System G boundary steel outdoor material walkdown Audit item 350: LRA Section A.2.1.31 Structures Monitoring-Vernon Dam FERC Program is replaced with the following.
'The Vernon dam is subject to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) inspection program. This program consists of visual inspections in accordance with FERC guidelines and complies with Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Conservation of Power and Water Resources, Part 12 (Safety of Water Power Projects and Project Works) and Division of Dam Safety and Inspections Operating Manual.The operation inspection frequency for licensed and exempt low hazard potential dams is biennially.
As indicated in NUREG-1801 for water control structures, NRC has found that FERC/ US Army Corp of Engineers dam inspections and maintenance programs are acceptable for aging management.

Cracking managed by the BWR Penetrations Program remains in the table.Audit item 371: LRA Section B.1.11 is revised as follows. 'The VYNPS Fatigue Monitoring Program includes counting of the cycles incurred by the plant. Five transients are monitored by plant operations and recorded as they occur. It is projected that less 60% of the design cycles for these five transients will be used through the first 60 years of operation, including the period of extended operation.
The remaining transients are monitored by plant engineering based on review of operating data at the end of each fuel cycle. These remaining transients are summarized in the Fatigue Monitoring Program as the sixth transient (reactor startups and shutdowns).
Engineering evaluates these transients and advises operations if the number of design cycles is being approached." Audit item 373: LRA Section 3.3.2.2.13 Loss of Material due to Wear is revised to state, 'Wear is the removal of surface layers due to relative motion between two surfaces.
At VYNPS, in the auxiliary systems, this specific aging effect is not applicable because the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning elastomer coated fiberglass duct flexible connections are fixed at both ends, precluding wear.

Audit item 382: The operating experience discussion in LRA Appendices B.1.17, B.1.18, and B.1.19 is replaced with the following.
'This program is a new aging management program. Industry operating experience that forms the basis for the program is described in the operating experience element of the NUREG-1 801 program description.
VYNPS plant-specific operating experience has been reviewed against the industry operating experience identified in NUREG-1801.
Although VYNPS has not experienced all of the aging effects listed in NUREG-1801, the VYNPS program will manage all of the aging effects identified in the Operating Experience section of NUREG-1 801.The program is based on the program description in NUREG-1 801, which in turn is based on relevant industry operating experience.
As such, this program will provide reasonable assurance that effects of aging will be managed such that applicable components will continue to perform their intended functions consistent with the current licensing basis for the period of extended operation.
As additional operating experience is obtained, lessons learned can be used to adjust the program, as needed." BVY 06-079 Page 12 of 12 BVY 06-079 Docket No. 50-271 Attachment 3 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station License Renewal Application
