Enclosure I PG&E Letter DCL-l15-1 50 Diablo Canyon Power Plant License Renewal Application (LRA) Changes Reflected in the Annual LRA Update Amendment 51 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 Page 1 of 3 Diablo Canyon Power Plant License Renewal Application (LRA) Changes Reflected in the Annual LRA Update Amendment 51 Affected LRA Reason for Change Section Section 2.4.11 Updated to add a newly installed steel plate security-related enclosure to the scope of License Renewal. This enclosure was analyzed to ensure that failure of the enclosure will not impact Design Class I structures, systems, and components. Table 2.3.3-12 LIRA tables were updated to reflect the fire protection hose Table 3.3.2-12 stations as-built configuration. In the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) LRA, hose stations represent the hose reel and not the associated isolation valve or piping; thus, there is no pressure boundary function. Hose reels only provide a structural support function. While verifying the hose reel material, it was noted that the copper alloy orifices and piping leading from the isolation valve to the fire hose were not addressed in the LRA. These components were added. Table 3.3.2-12 Errata. Updated to change aging effect of copper alloy (> 15% zinc) fire protection spray nozzles with an internal environment of plant indoor air from none to loss of material, consistent with NUREG-1 801, table item VII.G-9, as revised in LR-ISG-2012-02. Table 3.3.2-8 PG&E responded to license renewal request for additional information 2.3-2 related to whether the guard pipe enclosing the hydrogen piping was in the scope of license renewal in PG&E Letter DCL-10-067, "Response to License Renewal Application (LRA) Request for Additional Information and LRA Errata," dated June 18, 2010, and PG&E Letter DCL-10-128, "Response to NRC Letter dated September 13, 2010, Request for Additional Information (Set 23) for the Diablo Canyon License Renewal Application," dated October 12, 2010. Table 3.3.2-8 is updated to clarify that the guard pipe enclosing the hydrogen piping is not'a fire barrier since it does not prevent the spread of fire. The most-appropriate and most-conservative license renewal intended function of fire barrier was chosen to support its inclusion as being in-scope _________________because it is relied upon in the Fire Hazards Analysis.

Updated to add wall thinning due to erosion as an aging effect requiring management, and where applicable, the Flow Accelerated Corrosion Program to manage the aging effects for the system component types. Section 3.2.2.1.2 Updated to reflect plant modifications (review of equipment Section 3.3.2.1.14 changes). Table 3.2.2-2 Table 3.3.2-3 Table 3.3.2-9 Table 3.3.2-14 Table 3.4.2-1 Section 4.7.5 Updated to reflect a new stress and fracture mechanics Section 4.9 evaluation completed to support request for alternative Section A3.5.3 REP-SI, Revision 2, "~Proposed Alternative to Requirements for Repair/Replacement Activities for Certain Safety Injection Pump Welded Attachments." Updated to reflect new inservice flaw growth analyses that were performed to address weld flaw indications identified in the Unit 2 structural weld overlays for the pressurizer safety spray nozzle welds. Updated to reflect a new inservice flaw growth analysis that was performed to address weld flaw indications identified in _________________the Unit I pressurizer spray line pipe weld. Section Al1.14 Updated to add fuel tank for portable diesel electric generators credited during fire protection events for _________________supporting safe shutdown. PG&E Letter DCLI15-150 Page 3 of 3 Affected LRA Reason for Change Section Section A1.13 In PG&E Letter DCL-14-1 03, "10 CFR 54.21 (b) Annual Table A4-1, Item 3 Update to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant License Renewal Application (LRA), Amendment 48 and LIRA Appendix E, Applicant's Environmental Report - Operating License Renewal Stage, Amendment 1," dated December 22, 2014, PG&E stated that following the enhancements listed in, Attachment 7C, and with the exceptions listed, the DCPP Fire Water System Program would be consistent with LR-ISG-2012-02, Section C. PG&E has determined that an enhancement not mentioned in DCL-14-103 was necessary for the deluge testing to be consistent with LR-ISG-2012-02, Section C. PG&E is revising the licensing basis to enhance the testing of deluge system nozzles consistent with the 2011 edition of NFPA 25, Section 10.3.4.3.1, as recommended by LR-ISG-2012-02, S Appendix D, Table 4a. Following this enhancement and those listed in DCL-14-1 03, Enclosure 1, Attachment 7C, and with the exceptions listed, PG&Es Fire Water System Program will be consistent with LR-ISG-2012-02, Section C. Table A4-1, Items 34 Updated the status of these items to show them as and 60 completed. Table A4-1, Item 73 of this letter provides DCPP Unit I and 2 responses to the applicable aging management program plant-specific action items, conditions, and limitations identified in the NRC SE, Revision 1, on MRP-227. Table A4-1, item 73 is revised to show this commitment is _________________ complete.

The seismically qualified portions of the circulating water conduits and ASW vacuum breaker vaults are reinforced concrete structures founded on compacted fill. The Design Class I ASW supply piping is supported by reinforced concrete thrust blocks, compacted backfill, and concrete anchors attached to the circulating water conduits. The seismically qualified security-related enclosure is a steel structure and was analyzed to ensure that failure of the enclosure will not impact Design Class I SSCs. The security-related enclosure does not perform any (a)(1) intended functions and does not contain components required by the five License Renewal regulated events (a) (3). The raw water reservoir, located east of the power block, has reinforced concrete-walls. The reservoir is primarily intended to serve as fresh water storage for fire protection and long term cooling. The breakwater structures, which are constructed of precast reinforced concrete blocks and rip-rap, protect the intake structure from tsunami loads. The earth slopes east of auxiliary building and over the ASW line east of the intake structure were analyzed for design basis seismic loads to ensure that such loading will not produce any significant slope failure that can impact Design Class I SSCs. The ASW system buried piping and electrical conduits are protected from tsunami/storm conditions by wave protection measures, which include concrete covers, revetments, roadway slabs, and pavement. Gabion mattresses embedded~within the slopes are covered with grass for additional erosion control. For the purposes of license renewal and aging management, the breakwaters and earth slope protection structures are evaluated as barriers. Structure Intended Functions The earthwork and yard structures, except the security-related enclosure, provide structural support, shelter, and protection for components relied upon to provide the capability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition. The raw water reservoir provides fresh water storage for long term cooling. The earthwork and yard structures, except the security-related enclosure, also provide structural support, shelter, and protection for nonsafety-related SSCs whose Section 2.4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 SCOPING AND SCREENING RESULTS Page 4 of 29 STRUCTURES failure could prevent performance of a safety-related function. Therefore, the structures are within the scope of license renewal based on the criterion of 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). The security-related enclosure provides structural support whose failure could prevent performance of a safety-related function. Therefore, the structure is within the scope of license renewal based on the criterion of 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). The earthwork and yard structures, except the security-related enclosure, provide structural support, shelter, and protection for components required to support fire protection and SBO requirements. Therefore, the earthwork and yard structures are within the scope of license renewal based on the criteria of 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3).

These analyses depend on a specified number of operating years, and thus may be TLAAs for DCPP. Analysis Unit 2 RHR Piping Weld RB-119.11 During a routine inservice inspection prior to DCPP Unit 2 Refueling Outage 13 (2R1 3) in 2006, a circumferential flaw was identified in Weld RB-I119-11 of the residual heat removal (RHR) system. The observed flaw did not meet the Section Xl acceptance standards of Table IWB-3514-2. Consequently, the indication was evaluated per the guidelines of Section Xl, IWB-3640. A conservative fatigue crack growth evaluation was then performed to determine the adequacy of the piping system for continued operation. The evaluation was submitted to the NRC for review, as required by the Code, in PG&E Letter DCL-06-069. The service life for Weld RB-i119-11 is based on operating for 40 years from the date the flaw was identified, i.e. until 2046, during which the flaw would experience 500 startup-shutdown cycles. Thus, the evaluation encompassed a 60-year plant life and the analysis will be valid beyond the 2045 end date of the period of extended operation for Unit 2. The cycle assumptions used in the analysis are conservative compared to the DCPP original design cycles described in Section 4.3.1.1. The DCPP licensing basis assumes 250 heatups and 250 cooldowns for a 50 year plant life. Since the analysis indicates that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the next 40 years of plant operation beginning in October 2006, the flaw evaluation of RHR Weld RB-i119-11 will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(i). Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Line 567 During Unit 2 Refueling Outage 8 (2R8), while performing a non-routine surface examination prior to maintenance, DCPP identified a flaw indication in the auxiliary feedwater pump recirculation header Line 567, that exceeds Section Xl, Table IWB-3410-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis by meeting the Section 4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 TIME-LIMITED AGING ANALYSES Page 19 of 29 allowable size criteria of IWB-3620 and IWB-3610 and was submitted to the NRC in PG&E Letter DCL-99-1 36. The numbers of thermal and seismic cycles used in the analysis are consistent with or more conservative than the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. The assumed transients are consistent with or bounded by the 50 year licensing basis. The number of transients will be monitored by the enhanced Fatigue Management Program. The enhanced Fatigue Management Program provides assurance that the fatigue crack growth analysis will be managed for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1 )(iii). Unit I RHR Piping Weld WIC-95 During Unit 1 Refueling Outage 9 (1R9), while performing an inservice inspection, DCPP identified a weld flaw indication located in an ASME Class 2 portion of the RHR injection Line 985 to hot legs 1 and 2 at weld WLC-95. The indication exceeded the Section Xl, Table IWC-3410-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis in accordance with IWB-3410 and was submitted to the NRC in PG&E Letter DCL-97-086. The number of seismic cycles used in the analysis is consistent with the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. There have been no occurrences of a DE, DDE, or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the Unit 1 RHR Weld WIC-95 fatigue crack growth evaluation for the 50-year design basis number of DE, DDE, and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(i). Units I and 2 Safety Injection Pumps Vent and Drain Socket Welds In 2014, PG&E requested NRC approval of lnservice Inspection Request for Alternative REP-SI for DCPP, Units 1 and 2. To support this request, a stress and fracture mechanics evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of the socket welds associated with ASME Class 2 Safety Injection (SI) Pumps 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 vent and drain connections. The evaluation was submitted to the NRC for review, as part of the relief request, in PG&E Letter DCL-14-060, dated July 21, 2014. Postulated flaws were evaluated using a fracture mechanics approach analogous to the methods of ASME Code Section XI. This relief request was approved for the remaining life of the subject SI Pumps, including the duration of the current operating licenses plus a license renewal period of 20 years [Reference 42]. Since the evaluation is based on the 60-year operating period, the TLAA covers the period of extended operation and is dispositioned under 10 CFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Section 4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 TIME-LIMITED AGING ANALYSES Page 20 of 29 For the postulated crack analysis, 7, 000 thermal transient cycles (pump starts), 400 DE cycles (20 events with 20 cycles per event), and 20 Hosgri earthquake cycles (1 event with 20 cycles) were assumed. Using a conservative projection of 1,400 SI Pump start cycles for a 60 year plant life, the 7, 000 thermal transient cycles assumed in the postulated crack analysis during 60 years of operation is conservative. The number of seismic cycles used in the analysis is consistent with the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. There have been no occurrences of a DE or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the postulated crack analysis for the 50-year design basis number of DE and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. The analysis is valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i). Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds As stated in LRA Section 4. 7.2, during Unit 2 Refueling Outage 14 (2R 14, Spring 2008), Alloy 690 structural weld overlays were completed on Alloy 82/182 welds attaching the surge, spray, and relief valve nozzles to the safe ends, and the safe ends to the connecting piping. During the seventeenth Unit 2 Refueling Outage (2R1 7), while performing inservice inspections, DCPP identified weld flaw indications located at Unit 2structural weld overlays for the pressurizer safety nozzles Aand B, and pressurizer spray nozzle. Conservative fatigue crack growth evaluations were then performed to determine the adequacy of the piping system for continued operation. The evaluations were submitted to the NRC for review, as part of a relief request, in PG&E Letter DCL 028, dated April 7, 2014. This relief request was approved for the service life of the structural weld overlays [Reference 43]. The service life for the pressurizer safety and spray nozzle structural weld overlays is based on operating for 38 years from the date the structural weld overlays were completed, i e. until 2046. Thus, the evaluation encompassed a 60-year plant life and the analysis will be valid beyond the 2045 end date of the period of extended operation for Unit 2. The cycle assumptions used in the analyses are consistent with those transients used in the pressurizer structural weld overlay (LRA Section 4.7.2 and PG&E Letter DCL-10-120). Per LRA Table A 4-1, Commitment 38, the plant transient cycles related to the structural weld overlay fatigue crack growth analyses are included in the existing plant transient monitoring program. Since the analyses indicate that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life, the flaw evaluations of the pressurizer safety and spray nozzle structural weld overlays will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i). Section 4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 TIME-LIMITED AGING ANALYSES Page 21 of 29 Unit I Pressurizer Spray Line Pipe Weld WIB-378 During Unit 1 Refueling Outage 19 (1R 19), while performing an inservice inspection, DCPP identified a weld flaw indication located in an ASME Code Class 1 pressurizer spray line pipe weld WlB-3 78. The indication exceeded the Section Xl, Table IWB-35 14-2 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis in accordance with iWB-3600 and was submitted to the NRC in PG&E Letter DCL-15-131, dated November 3, 2015. A fatigue crack growth evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of the weld for continued operation. The indication was a planar flaw oriented circumferentially and was assumed to be ID connected for conservatism. The service life for Weld WIB-378 is based on operating through the period of extended operation. Thus, the evaluation encompassed a 60-year plant life and the analysis will remain valid for the Unit 1 period of extended operation. The number of transient cycles used in the analysis is consistent with or more conservative than the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. Because the evaluation indicates that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life and the assumed transients are consistent with or more conservative than the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5. 2-4, the flaw evaluation of the pressurizer spray line pipe weld WlB-378 will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Disposition: Validation, 10 CFR 54.21 1(1 )(i); and Aging Management, 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(iii) Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit 2 RHR Piping Weld RB-119-II The result indicates that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the next 40 years of plant operation beginning in October 2006. Therefore, the flaw evaluation of RHR Weld RB-I119-11 will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 I(1)(i). Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit I RHR Weld WIC-95 There have been no occurrences of a DE, DDE, or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the Unit 1 RHR Weld WIC-95 fatigue crack growth evaluation for the 50-year design basis number of DE, DDE, and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CER 54.211(1)(i).

There have been no occurrences of a DE or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the postulated crack analysis for the 50-year design basis number of DE and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. The analysis is valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR~ 54.211(1)(i). Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds The results indicate that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life. Therefore, the flaw evaluation of Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit I Pressurizer Spray Line Pipe Weld WIB-378 The results indicate that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life.

Internal and external inspections and tests of fire protection equipment are performed consistent, with exceptions identified in PG&E Letters DCL-14-1 03, Enclosure 1, Attachment 7C, and DCL-15-121 with NFPA-25 (2011 edition). Testing or replacement of sprinklers that have been in place for 50 years is performed in accordance with NFPA-25 (2011 edition). Portions of the deluge systems that are normally dry but periodically subjected to flow and cannot be drained or allow water to collect will undergo augmented testing beyond that in NFPA-25 consisting of volumetric wall thickness examinations. The fire water system is managed by performing routine preventive maintenance, inspections and testing; operator rounds, performance monitoring, and reliance on the corrective action program; and system improvements to address aging and obsolescence issues. The fire water system is normally maintained at required operating pressure and is monitored such that loss of system pressure is immediately detected and corrective actions are initiated. The Fire Water System program will conduct a flow test with air, water, or other medium through each open spray nozzle to verify that deluge systems nozzles are unobstructed. Water flow tests will verify that the deluge system provide full coverage of the equipment it protects. Visual inspections will be performed on firewater piping. Non-intrusive follow-up volumetric examinations will be performed if internal visual inspections detect surface irregularities to determine if wall thickness is within acceptable limits. Visual inspections will evaluate for the presence of sufficient foreign material to obstruct fire water pipe or sprinklers. Inspections of the firewater tank will be performed to detect loss of material. As discussed in PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-027, Enclosure 1, in response to LR-ISG-2013-01, the program consists of periodic visual inspections of the internal liner of the fire water storage tank exposed to raw water where loss of lining integrity could impact the components' and downstream components' current licensing basis intended function(s). For coated surfaces determined to not meet the acceptance criteria, physical testing is performed where physically possible (i.e., sufficient room to conduct testing) in conjunction with repair, replacement, or removal of the lining. The training and qualification of individuals involved in coating inspections are conducted in accordance with ASTM International Standards endorsed in RG 1.54 including guidance from the NRC associated with a particular standard. The Fire Water program implements the recommendations in LR-ISG-2012-02, as discussed in PG&E Letters DCL-14-1 03, Enclosure 1, Attachments 7C,-arn4 DCL-15-121, and DCL-15-150, the recommendations in LR-ISG-2013-01, as discussed in PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-027 Appendix A PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-150 Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement Page 25 of 29 A1.14 FUEL OIL CHEMISTRY The Fuel Oil Chemistry program manages loss of material on the internal surface of components in the emergency diesel fuel oil storage and transfer system, portable diesel electric generator fuel oil tanks, portable diesel driven fire pump fuel oil tanks, and portable caddy fuel oil tanks. The program includes (a) surveillance and monitoring procedures for maintaining fuel oil quality by controlling contaminants in accordance with applicable ASTM Standards, (b) periodic draining of water from fuel oil tanks, (c) visual inspection of internal surfaces during periodic draining and cleaning, (d) one-time ultrasonic wall thickness measurements of accessible portions of fuel oil tank bottoms, (e) sampling and analysis of new fuel oil before it is introduced into the fuel oil tanks, and (f) supplemental one-time inspections of a representative sample of components in systems that contain fuel oil by the One-Time Inspection program (A1.16).

These analyses depend on a specified number of operating years, and thus may be TLAAs. Unit 2 RHR Piping Weld RB-119-11 In 2006, a circumferential flaw was identified in DCPP Unit 2 Weld RB-i119-11 of the residual heat removal (RHR) system. The observed flaw did not meet the Section XI acceptance standards of Table IWB-3514-2. Consequently, the indication was evaluated per the guidelines of Section Xl, IWB-3640. A conservative fatigue crack growth evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of continued operation of the piping system. The analysis is based on operating for 40 years from the date the flaw was identified and will be valid beyond the end of the period of extended operation for Unit 2 in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 1(1 )(i). Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Line 567 DCPP identified a flaw indication in the Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater pumps recirculation header Line 567, that exceeds Section Xl, Table IWB-3410-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis by meeting the allowable size criteria of IWB-3620 and IWB-3610. The Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary program described in Section A2.1I monitors fatigue design transients including the transients assumed in the fatigue crack growth analyses and therefore will be managed for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(iii). Unit I RHR Piping Weld WIC-95 DCPP identified a weld flaw indication located in an ASME Class 2 portion of the Unit 1 residual heat removal injection Line 985 to hot legs 1 and 2 at weld WIC-95. The indication exceeded the Section Xl, Table IWC-341 0-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis in accordance with IWB-3410. The number of seismic cycles assumed in the analysis is sufficient for the period of extended operation. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i). Appendix A PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-150 Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement Page 27 of 29 Units 1 and 2 Safety Injection Pumps Vent and Drain Socket Welds In support of a relief request, a stress and fracture mechanics evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of socket welds associated with ASME Class 2 Safety Injection (SI) Pumps 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 vent and drain connections. Postulated flaws were evaluated using a fracture mechanics approach analogous to the methods of ASME Code Section Xl. The number of cycles used in the analysis is sufficient for the period of extended operation. Using a conservative projection of 1,400 SI Pump start cycles for a 60 year plant life, the 7, 000 thermal transient cycles assumed in the postulated crack analysis during 60 years of operation is conservative. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds In 2013, laminar flaws were identified in DCPP Unit 2 structural weld overlays for pressurizer safety nozzles A and B, and pressurizer spray nozzle. Conservative fatigue crack growth evaluations were performed to determine the adequacy of continued operation of the piping system. The analyses are based on operating for 38 years from the date the structural weld overlays were completed and will be valid beyond the end of the period of extended operation for Unit 2 in accordance with 10 CFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Unit 1 Pressurizer Spray Line Pipe Weld WIB-378 In 2015, a circumferential flaw was identified in DCPP Unit 1 Pressurizer Spray Line Pipe Weld WIB-3 78. The observed flaw did not meet the Section Xl acceptance standards of Table IWB-3514-2. Consequently, the indication was evaluated per the guidelines of Section XI, IWB-3600. A conservative fatigue crack growth evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of continued operation of the wveld. The analysis is based on operating through the period of extended operation and will remain valid Unit 1 in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i).

Background

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has determined that additional information, as discussed in References 1 and 2, should be provided by licensees to verify the applicability of MRP-227-A (Reference 6). The two specific generic issues that need to be addressed are summarized as follows:

1. Do the reactor internals have any non-weld or bolting austenitic stainless steel components with 20 percent cold work or greater, and if so, do the affected components have operating stresses greater than 30 ksi?
2. Does the plant have atypical fuel design or fuel management that could render the assumptions of MRP-227-A, regarding core loading/core design, non-representative?

PG&E Response to Question I Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Units 1 and 2 reactor internals components have been evaluated according to industry guideline MRP 2013-025 (Reference 3), as well as to the MRP-1 91 (Reference 4) industry generic component listings and screening criteria (including consideration of cold work as defined in MRP-175 (Reference 5), noting the requirements of Section 3.2.3). In addition to consideration of the material fabrication, forming, and finishing process, a general screening definition of "severe cold work" [a resulting reduction in wall thickness (material stock thickness) of 20 percent] was applied as an evaluation limit. The evaluation included a review of all plant modifications affecting reactor internals and the plant operating history. The components were procured according to American Society for Testing and Materials International of American Society of Mechanical Engineers material specifications that were callouts in the original plant construction drawings. Thus, material identification based on the material callouts and notes in the component drawings was an efficient and reasonable approach to identify the material of construction of components for DCPP Units 1 and 2. Based on the specifications used in the DCPP Units land 2 plant component drawings, it was possible to bin the reactor internals components into five material categories identified in MRP 2013-025. DCPP Units I and 2 components were binned according to the following categories for the materials used in the component fabrication. PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 Page 2 of 5 Categories based on MRP 2013-025 include:

  • Cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) (Category 1)
  • Hot-formed austenitic stainless steel (Category 2)
  • Annealed austenitic stainless steel (Category 3)
  • Fasteners austenitic stainless steel (Category 4)
  • Cold-formed austenitic stainless steel without subsequent solution annealing (Category 5)

The potential for cold work is directly controlled by the materials specifications. Essentially, all of the components that are binned (based on their specified materials) as Categories 1, 2, and 3 are non-cold worked; therefore, they have less than 20 percent cold work according to NRC criterion. Similarly, any component binned under Category 5 has the potential to contain greater than 20 percent cold work. Category 4 materials are fasteners that may have been intentionally strain-hardened. The strain hardening according to guidelines should have been intentionally restricted to less than 20 percent. Material definitions in drawings identify maximum yield stress restrictions on these materials, which allows for the identification of the cold work level. In some cases, however, these restrictions are not present on drawings. Restrictions or limitations on the material yield stress (e.g., a maximum of 90 ksi) would indicate that the material cold work would be limited to less than 20 percent. In the absence of a maximum restriction yield stress of strain-hardened material, a conservative approach was taken to indicate the potential for greater than 20 percent cold work. Where multiple options existed for a component or assembly, the bounding condition was taken as the option that had the greater potential to include greater than 20 percent cold work. This. option was then employed in the assessment of the component and was selected for the purposes of the Westinghouse evaluation. In some instances, sequential fabrication would appear to mitigate any potential for cold work; however, since the historical record was not detailed, the potential is noted, but a conservative approach was selected for the Westinghouse evaluation. The evaluation, performed consistently with MRP 2013-025, concluded that the reactor internals Categories 1, 2, and 3 (non-bolting) components at DCPP Units I and 2 contain no cold work greater than 20 percent as a result of material specification and controlled fabrication construction. Category 4 components were already assumed to have the potential for coldwork in the MRP-191 generic assessments. No Category 5 components with severe cold work were identified for DCPP Units I and 2. The detailed evaluation for~the DCPP Units 1 and 2 cold work assessments concluded that the plant-specific fabrication and design was consistent with the PG&E Letter DCL-15-150 Page 3 of 5 MRP-1 91 basis, and that the MRP-227-A (Reference 6) sampling inspection aging management requirements, as related to cold work, are directly applicable to DCPP Units I and 2. The inspection sampling requirements for aging management outlined in MRP-232 (Reference 7) are based on the assumptions of MRP-191 and MRP-227-A. Therefore, MRP-232 calls for the demonstration that the plant specific materials, fabrication, and design meet the assumptions inherent in MRP-191 and MRP-227-A. The detailed Westinghouse evaluation of DCPP Units I and 2 material fabrication and design has concluded that no non-fastener materials of greater than 20 percent cold work were used in construction, and that the inspection sampling approach of MRP-232 is applicable to DCPP Units I and 2. PG&E Response to Question 2 As stated in MRP 2013-025, to demonstrate plant-specific applicability of the MRP-227-A sampling inspection strategy for managing aging in reactor internals, licen~sees must demonstrate that the criteria of MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are met, and that the neutron fluence and heat generation rates are within the range of the following variables summarized. As detailed in WCAP-1 7462-NP, Revision 1, "Program Plan for Aging Management of Reactor Vessel Internals at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Unit 1," and WCAP-17463-NP, Revision 1, "Program Plan for Aging Management of Reactor Vessel Internals at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Unit 2," for DCPP Units I and 2, respectively, the criteria specified in MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 has been demonstrated as follows. The MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 assumptions are stated first, followed by' a description of how the assumptions are addressed at DCPP Units I and 2. The assumptions from MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are as follows:

  • 30 years of operation with high leakage core loading patterns (fresh fuel assemblies loaded in peripheral locations) followed by implementation of a low leakage fuel management strategy for the remaining 30 years of operation; DCPP Units 1 and 2 fuel management programs changed from a high-to
  • low-leakage core loading pattern prior to 30 years of operation.
  • Base load operation, iLe., typically operates at fixed power levels and does not usually vary power on a calendar or load demand schedule.

DCPP Units 1 and 2 operate as base-load units. PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 Page 4 of 5 No design changes beyond those identified in general industry guidance or recommended by the original vendors. MRP-227-A states that the recommendations are applicable to all U.S. PWR operating plants as of May 2007 for the three designs considered. There have been no modifications to reactor internals components at DCPP Units 1 or 2 since May 2007. Based on the applicability, as stated for DCPP Units 1 and 2, the criteria, of MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are met for DCPP Units 1 and 2. In addition to the req*uirement to demonstrate that the criteria of MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are met, MRP 2013-025 requires that the neutron fluence and heat generation rates for DCPP Units 1 and 2 are within the range of the limiting threshold values defined in MRP 2013-025. The limiting threshold values defined for Westinghouse plants are: Average core power density less than 124 Watts/cm3 Heat generation figure of merit (F) less than or equal to 68 Watts/cm3

  • Active fuel to upper core plate distance greater than 12.2 inches PG&E is currently in the process of evaluating the DCPP Units I and 2 reactor internals components with regard to fuel designs and fuel management according to guidance provided in MRP 2013-025. PG&E is currently scheduled to complete and submit to the NRC the results of this evaluation for DCPP Units 1 and 2 by March 31, 2016 (see Enclosure 4).

Enclosure I PG&E Letter DCL-l15-1 50 Diablo Canyon Power Plant License Renewal Application (LRA) Changes Reflected in the Annual LRA Update Amendment 51 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 Page 1 of 3 Diablo Canyon Power Plant License Renewal Application (LRA) Changes Reflected in the Annual LRA Update Amendment 51 Affected LRA Reason for Change Section Section 2.4.11 Updated to add a newly installed steel plate security-related enclosure to the scope of License Renewal. This enclosure was analyzed to ensure that failure of the enclosure will not impact Design Class I structures, systems, and components. Table 2.3.3-12 LIRA tables were updated to reflect the fire protection hose Table 3.3.2-12 stations as-built configuration. In the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) LRA, hose stations represent the hose reel and not the associated isolation valve or piping; thus, there is no pressure boundary function. Hose reels only provide a structural support function. While verifying the hose reel material, it was noted that the copper alloy orifices and piping leading from the isolation valve to the fire hose were not addressed in the LRA. These components were added. Table 3.3.2-12 Errata. Updated to change aging effect of copper alloy (> 15% zinc) fire protection spray nozzles with an internal environment of plant indoor air from none to loss of material, consistent with NUREG-1 801, table item VII.G-9, as revised in LR-ISG-2012-02. Table 3.3.2-8 PG&E responded to license renewal request for additional information 2.3-2 related to whether the guard pipe enclosing the hydrogen piping was in the scope of license renewal in PG&E Letter DCL-10-067, "Response to License Renewal Application (LRA) Request for Additional Information and LRA Errata," dated June 18, 2010, and PG&E Letter DCL-10-128, "Response to NRC Letter dated September 13, 2010, Request for Additional Information (Set 23) for the Diablo Canyon License Renewal Application," dated October 12, 2010. Table 3.3.2-8 is updated to clarify that the guard pipe enclosing the hydrogen piping is not'a fire barrier since it does not prevent the spread of fire. The most-appropriate and most-conservative license renewal intended function of fire barrier was chosen to support its inclusion as being in-scope _________________because it is relied upon in the Fire Hazards Analysis.

The seismically qualified portions of the circulating water conduits and ASW vacuum breaker vaults are reinforced concrete structures founded on compacted fill. The Design Class I ASW supply piping is supported by reinforced concrete thrust blocks, compacted backfill, and concrete anchors attached to the circulating water conduits. The seismically qualified security-related enclosure is a steel structure and was analyzed to ensure that failure of the enclosure will not impact Design Class I SSCs. The security-related enclosure does not perform any (a)(1) intended functions and does not contain components required by the five License Renewal regulated events (a) (3). The raw water reservoir, located east of the power block, has reinforced concrete-walls. The reservoir is primarily intended to serve as fresh water storage for fire protection and long term cooling. The breakwater structures, which are constructed of precast reinforced concrete blocks and rip-rap, protect the intake structure from tsunami loads. The earth slopes east of auxiliary building and over the ASW line east of the intake structure were analyzed for design basis seismic loads to ensure that such loading will not produce any significant slope failure that can impact Design Class I SSCs. The ASW system buried piping and electrical conduits are protected from tsunami/storm conditions by wave protection measures, which include concrete covers, revetments, roadway slabs, and pavement. Gabion mattresses embedded~within the slopes are covered with grass for additional erosion control. For the purposes of license renewal and aging management, the breakwaters and earth slope protection structures are evaluated as barriers. Structure Intended Functions The earthwork and yard structures, except the security-related enclosure, provide structural support, shelter, and protection for components relied upon to provide the capability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition. The raw water reservoir provides fresh water storage for long term cooling. The earthwork and yard structures, except the security-related enclosure, also provide structural support, shelter, and protection for nonsafety-related SSCs whose Section 2.4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 SCOPING AND SCREENING RESULTS Page 4 of 29 STRUCTURES failure could prevent performance of a safety-related function. Therefore, the structures are within the scope of license renewal based on the criterion of 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). The security-related enclosure provides structural support whose failure could prevent performance of a safety-related function. Therefore, the structure is within the scope of license renewal based on the criterion of 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). The earthwork and yard structures, except the security-related enclosure, provide structural support, shelter, and protection for components required to support fire protection and SBO requirements. Therefore, the earthwork and yard structures are within the scope of license renewal based on the criteria of 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3).

These analyses depend on a specified number of operating years, and thus may be TLAAs for DCPP. Analysis Unit 2 RHR Piping Weld RB-119.11 During a routine inservice inspection prior to DCPP Unit 2 Refueling Outage 13 (2R1 3) in 2006, a circumferential flaw was identified in Weld RB-I119-11 of the residual heat removal (RHR) system. The observed flaw did not meet the Section Xl acceptance standards of Table IWB-3514-2. Consequently, the indication was evaluated per the guidelines of Section Xl, IWB-3640. A conservative fatigue crack growth evaluation was then performed to determine the adequacy of the piping system for continued operation. The evaluation was submitted to the NRC for review, as required by the Code, in PG&E Letter DCL-06-069. The service life for Weld RB-i119-11 is based on operating for 40 years from the date the flaw was identified, i.e. until 2046, during which the flaw would experience 500 startup-shutdown cycles. Thus, the evaluation encompassed a 60-year plant life and the analysis will be valid beyond the 2045 end date of the period of extended operation for Unit 2. The cycle assumptions used in the analysis are conservative compared to the DCPP original design cycles described in Section 4.3.1.1. The DCPP licensing basis assumes 250 heatups and 250 cooldowns for a 50 year plant life. Since the analysis indicates that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the next 40 years of plant operation beginning in October 2006, the flaw evaluation of RHR Weld RB-i119-11 will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(i). Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Line 567 During Unit 2 Refueling Outage 8 (2R8), while performing a non-routine surface examination prior to maintenance, DCPP identified a flaw indication in the auxiliary feedwater pump recirculation header Line 567, that exceeds Section Xl, Table IWB-3410-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis by meeting the Section 4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 TIME-LIMITED AGING ANALYSES Page 19 of 29 allowable size criteria of IWB-3620 and IWB-3610 and was submitted to the NRC in PG&E Letter DCL-99-1 36. The numbers of thermal and seismic cycles used in the analysis are consistent with or more conservative than the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. The assumed transients are consistent with or bounded by the 50 year licensing basis. The number of transients will be monitored by the enhanced Fatigue Management Program. The enhanced Fatigue Management Program provides assurance that the fatigue crack growth analysis will be managed for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1 )(iii). Unit I RHR Piping Weld WIC-95 During Unit 1 Refueling Outage 9 (1R9), while performing an inservice inspection, DCPP identified a weld flaw indication located in an ASME Class 2 portion of the RHR injection Line 985 to hot legs 1 and 2 at weld WLC-95. The indication exceeded the Section Xl, Table IWC-3410-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis in accordance with IWB-3410 and was submitted to the NRC in PG&E Letter DCL-97-086. The number of seismic cycles used in the analysis is consistent with the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. There have been no occurrences of a DE, DDE, or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the Unit 1 RHR Weld WIC-95 fatigue crack growth evaluation for the 50-year design basis number of DE, DDE, and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(i). Units I and 2 Safety Injection Pumps Vent and Drain Socket Welds In 2014, PG&E requested NRC approval of lnservice Inspection Request for Alternative REP-SI for DCPP, Units 1 and 2. To support this request, a stress and fracture mechanics evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of the socket welds associated with ASME Class 2 Safety Injection (SI) Pumps 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 vent and drain connections. The evaluation was submitted to the NRC for review, as part of the relief request, in PG&E Letter DCL-14-060, dated July 21, 2014. Postulated flaws were evaluated using a fracture mechanics approach analogous to the methods of ASME Code Section XI. This relief request was approved for the remaining life of the subject SI Pumps, including the duration of the current operating licenses plus a license renewal period of 20 years [Reference 42]. Since the evaluation is based on the 60-year operating period, the TLAA covers the period of extended operation and is dispositioned under 10 CFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Section 4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 TIME-LIMITED AGING ANALYSES Page 20 of 29 For the postulated crack analysis, 7, 000 thermal transient cycles (pump starts), 400 DE cycles (20 events with 20 cycles per event), and 20 Hosgri earthquake cycles (1 event with 20 cycles) were assumed. Using a conservative projection of 1,400 SI Pump start cycles for a 60 year plant life, the 7, 000 thermal transient cycles assumed in the postulated crack analysis during 60 years of operation is conservative. The number of seismic cycles used in the analysis is consistent with the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. There have been no occurrences of a DE or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the postulated crack analysis for the 50-year design basis number of DE and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. The analysis is valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i). Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds As stated in LRA Section 4. 7.2, during Unit 2 Refueling Outage 14 (2R 14, Spring 2008), Alloy 690 structural weld overlays were completed on Alloy 82/182 welds attaching the surge, spray, and relief valve nozzles to the safe ends, and the safe ends to the connecting piping. During the seventeenth Unit 2 Refueling Outage (2R1 7), while performing inservice inspections, DCPP identified weld flaw indications located at Unit 2structural weld overlays for the pressurizer safety nozzles Aand B, and pressurizer spray nozzle. Conservative fatigue crack growth evaluations were then performed to determine the adequacy of the piping system for continued operation. The evaluations were submitted to the NRC for review, as part of a relief request, in PG&E Letter DCL 028, dated April 7, 2014. This relief request was approved for the service life of the structural weld overlays [Reference 43]. The service life for the pressurizer safety and spray nozzle structural weld overlays is based on operating for 38 years from the date the structural weld overlays were completed, i e. until 2046. Thus, the evaluation encompassed a 60-year plant life and the analysis will be valid beyond the 2045 end date of the period of extended operation for Unit 2. The cycle assumptions used in the analyses are consistent with those transients used in the pressurizer structural weld overlay (LRA Section 4.7.2 and PG&E Letter DCL-10-120). Per LRA Table A 4-1, Commitment 38, the plant transient cycles related to the structural weld overlay fatigue crack growth analyses are included in the existing plant transient monitoring program. Since the analyses indicate that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life, the flaw evaluations of the pressurizer safety and spray nozzle structural weld overlays will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i). Section 4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 TIME-LIMITED AGING ANALYSES Page 21 of 29 Unit I Pressurizer Spray Line Pipe Weld WIB-378 During Unit 1 Refueling Outage 19 (1R 19), while performing an inservice inspection, DCPP identified a weld flaw indication located in an ASME Code Class 1 pressurizer spray line pipe weld WlB-3 78. The indication exceeded the Section Xl, Table IWB-35 14-2 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis in accordance with iWB-3600 and was submitted to the NRC in PG&E Letter DCL-15-131, dated November 3, 2015. A fatigue crack growth evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of the weld for continued operation. The indication was a planar flaw oriented circumferentially and was assumed to be ID connected for conservatism. The service life for Weld WIB-378 is based on operating through the period of extended operation. Thus, the evaluation encompassed a 60-year plant life and the analysis will remain valid for the Unit 1 period of extended operation. The number of transient cycles used in the analysis is consistent with or more conservative than the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5.2-4. Because the evaluation indicates that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life and the assumed transients are consistent with or more conservative than the DCPP 50-year design basis described in FSAR Table 5. 2-4, the flaw evaluation of the pressurizer spray line pipe weld WlB-378 will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Disposition: Validation, 10 CFR 54.21 1(1 )(i); and Aging Management, 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(iii) Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit 2 RHR Piping Weld RB-119-II The result indicates that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the next 40 years of plant operation beginning in October 2006. Therefore, the flaw evaluation of RHR Weld RB-I119-11 will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 I(1)(i). Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit I RHR Weld WIC-95 There have been no occurrences of a DE, DDE, or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the Unit 1 RHR Weld WIC-95 fatigue crack growth evaluation for the 50-year design basis number of DE, DDE, and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CER 54.211(1)(i). Section 4 PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 TIME-LIMITED AGING ANALYSES Page 22 of 29 Validation - Units 1 and 2 Safety Injection Pumps Vent and Drain Socket Welds Using a conservative projection of 1,400 SI Pump start cycles for a 60 year plant life, the 7, 000 thermal transient cycles assumed in the postulated crack analysis during 60 years of operation is conservative. There have been no occurrences of a DE or Hosgri seismic event at DCPP during the first 20 plus years of operation. Therefore, the seismic cycles in the postulated crack analysis for the 50-year design basis number of DE and Hosgri events is sufficient to the end of the period of extended operation. The analysis is valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR~ 54.211(1)(i). Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds The results indicate that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life. Therefore, the flaw evaluation of Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Validation - Flaw Evaluation of Unit I Pressurizer Spray Line Pipe Weld WIB-378 The results indicate that the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the remaining plant life. Therefore, the flaw evaluation of Unit 1 Pressurizer Spray Line Pipe Weld W/B-378 will remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i). Aging Management - Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Line 567 The Metal Fatigue of the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary program (B3. 1) monitors fatigue design transients including the transients assumed in the fatigue crack growth analyses for the Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater piping Line 567. The program provides assurance that the fatigue crack growth analysis will be managed for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1 )(iii).

Internal and external inspections and tests of fire protection equipment are performed consistent, with exceptions identified in PG&E Letters DCL-14-1 03, Enclosure 1, Attachment 7C, and DCL-15-121 with NFPA-25 (2011 edition). Testing or replacement of sprinklers that have been in place for 50 years is performed in accordance with NFPA-25 (2011 edition). Portions of the deluge systems that are normally dry but periodically subjected to flow and cannot be drained or allow water to collect will undergo augmented testing beyond that in NFPA-25 consisting of volumetric wall thickness examinations. The fire water system is managed by performing routine preventive maintenance, inspections and testing; operator rounds, performance monitoring, and reliance on the corrective action program; and system improvements to address aging and obsolescence issues. The fire water system is normally maintained at required operating pressure and is monitored such that loss of system pressure is immediately detected and corrective actions are initiated. The Fire Water System program will conduct a flow test with air, water, or other medium through each open spray nozzle to verify that deluge systems nozzles are unobstructed. Water flow tests will verify that the deluge system provide full coverage of the equipment it protects. Visual inspections will be performed on firewater piping. Non-intrusive follow-up volumetric examinations will be performed if internal visual inspections detect surface irregularities to determine if wall thickness is within acceptable limits. Visual inspections will evaluate for the presence of sufficient foreign material to obstruct fire water pipe or sprinklers. Inspections of the firewater tank will be performed to detect loss of material. As discussed in PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-027, Enclosure 1, in response to LR-ISG-2013-01, the program consists of periodic visual inspections of the internal liner of the fire water storage tank exposed to raw water where loss of lining integrity could impact the components' and downstream components' current licensing basis intended function(s). For coated surfaces determined to not meet the acceptance criteria, physical testing is performed where physically possible (i.e., sufficient room to conduct testing) in conjunction with repair, replacement, or removal of the lining. The training and qualification of individuals involved in coating inspections are conducted in accordance with ASTM International Standards endorsed in RG 1.54 including guidance from the NRC associated with a particular standard. The Fire Water program implements the recommendations in LR-ISG-2012-02, as discussed in PG&E Letters DCL-14-1 03, Enclosure 1, Attachments 7C,-arn4 DCL-15-121, and DCL-15-150, the recommendations in LR-ISG-2013-01, as discussed in PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-027 Appendix A PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-150 Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement Page 25 of 29 A1.14 FUEL OIL CHEMISTRY The Fuel Oil Chemistry program manages loss of material on the internal surface of components in the emergency diesel fuel oil storage and transfer system, portable diesel electric generator fuel oil tanks, portable diesel driven fire pump fuel oil tanks, and portable caddy fuel oil tanks. The program includes (a) surveillance and monitoring procedures for maintaining fuel oil quality by controlling contaminants in accordance with applicable ASTM Standards, (b) periodic draining of water from fuel oil tanks, (c) visual inspection of internal surfaces during periodic draining and cleaning, (d) one-time ultrasonic wall thickness measurements of accessible portions of fuel oil tank bottoms, (e) sampling and analysis of new fuel oil before it is introduced into the fuel oil tanks, and (f) supplemental one-time inspections of a representative sample of components in systems that contain fuel oil by the One-Time Inspection program (A1.16). Appendix A PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-150 Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement Page 26 of 29 A3.5.3 Inservice Flaw Growth Analyses that Demonstrate Structural Stability for 40 Years The ISI procedure states that a fracture mechanics analysis, in accordance with ASME Code, Section Xl, Subsection IWB-3600, must be completed if flaw acceptance criterion is not met as outlined in the corresponding test procedure. These analyses depend on a specified number of operating years, and thus may be TLAAs. Unit 2 RHR Piping Weld RB-119-11 In 2006, a circumferential flaw was identified in DCPP Unit 2 Weld RB-i119-11 of the residual heat removal (RHR) system. The observed flaw did not meet the Section XI acceptance standards of Table IWB-3514-2. Consequently, the indication was evaluated per the guidelines of Section Xl, IWB-3640. A conservative fatigue crack growth evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of continued operation of the piping system. The analysis is based on operating for 40 years from the date the flaw was identified and will be valid beyond the end of the period of extended operation for Unit 2 in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 1(1 )(i). Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater Piping Line 567 DCPP identified a flaw indication in the Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater pumps recirculation header Line 567, that exceeds Section Xl, Table IWB-3410-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis by meeting the allowable size criteria of IWB-3620 and IWB-3610. The Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary program described in Section A2.1I monitors fatigue design transients including the transients assumed in the fatigue crack growth analyses and therefore will be managed for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211l(1)(iii). Unit I RHR Piping Weld WIC-95 DCPP identified a weld flaw indication located in an ASME Class 2 portion of the Unit 1 residual heat removal injection Line 985 to hot legs 1 and 2 at weld WIC-95. The indication exceeded the Section Xl, Table IWC-341 0-1 criteria. The flaw has been accepted by analysis in accordance with IWB-3410. The number of seismic cycles assumed in the analysis is sufficient for the period of extended operation. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.211(1)(i). Appendix A PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-150 Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement Page 27 of 29 Units 1 and 2 Safety Injection Pumps Vent and Drain Socket Welds In support of a relief request, a stress and fracture mechanics evaluation was performed to determine the adequacy of socket welds associated with ASME Class 2 Safety Injection (SI) Pumps 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 vent and drain connections. Postulated flaws were evaluated using a fracture mechanics approach analogous to the methods of ASME Code Section Xl. The number of cycles used in the analysis is sufficient for the period of extended operation. Using a conservative projection of 1,400 SI Pump start cycles for a 60 year plant life, the 7, 000 thermal transient cycles assumed in the postulated crack analysis during 60 years of operation is conservative. Therefore, the analysis is valid for the period of extended operation, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.2 11(1)(i). Unit 2 Pressurizer Safety and Spray Nozzle Welds In 2013, laminar flaws were identified in DCPP Unit 2 structural weld overlays for pressurizer safety nozzles A and B, and pressurizer spray nozzle.

Background

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has determined that additional information, as discussed in References 1 and 2, should be provided by licensees to verify the applicability of MRP-227-A (Reference 6). The two specific generic issues that need to be addressed are summarized as follows:

1. Do the reactor internals have any non-weld or bolting austenitic stainless steel components with 20 percent cold work or greater, and if so, do the affected components have operating stresses greater than 30 ksi?
2. Does the plant have atypical fuel design or fuel management that could render the assumptions of MRP-227-A, regarding core loading/core design, non-representative?

PG&E Response to Question I Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Units 1 and 2 reactor internals components have been evaluated according to industry guideline MRP 2013-025 (Reference 3), as well as to the MRP-1 91 (Reference 4) industry generic component listings and screening criteria (including consideration of cold work as defined in MRP-175 (Reference 5), noting the requirements of Section 3.2.3). In addition to consideration of the material fabrication, forming, and finishing process, a general screening definition of "severe cold work" [a resulting reduction in wall thickness (material stock thickness) of 20 percent] was applied as an evaluation limit. The evaluation included a review of all plant modifications affecting reactor internals and the plant operating history. The components were procured according to American Society for Testing and Materials International of American Society of Mechanical Engineers material specifications that were callouts in the original plant construction drawings. Thus, material identification based on the material callouts and notes in the component drawings was an efficient and reasonable approach to identify the material of construction of components for DCPP Units 1 and 2. Based on the specifications used in the DCPP Units land 2 plant component drawings, it was possible to bin the reactor internals components into five material categories identified in MRP 2013-025. DCPP Units I and 2 components were binned according to the following categories for the materials used in the component fabrication. PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 Page 2 of 5 Categories based on MRP 2013-025 include:

  • Cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) (Category 1)
  • Hot-formed austenitic stainless steel (Category 2)
  • Annealed austenitic stainless steel (Category 3)
  • Fasteners austenitic stainless steel (Category 4)
  • Cold-formed austenitic stainless steel without subsequent solution annealing (Category 5)

The potential for cold work is directly controlled by the materials specifications. Essentially, all of the components that are binned (based on their specified materials) as Categories 1, 2, and 3 are non-cold worked; therefore, they have less than 20 percent cold work according to NRC criterion. Similarly, any component binned under Category 5 has the potential to contain greater than 20 percent cold work. Category 4 materials are fasteners that may have been intentionally strain-hardened. The strain hardening according to guidelines should have been intentionally restricted to less than 20 percent. Material definitions in drawings identify maximum yield stress restrictions on these materials, which allows for the identification of the cold work level. In some cases, however, these restrictions are not present on drawings. Restrictions or limitations on the material yield stress (e.g., a maximum of 90 ksi) would indicate that the material cold work would be limited to less than 20 percent. In the absence of a maximum restriction yield stress of strain-hardened material, a conservative approach was taken to indicate the potential for greater than 20 percent cold work. Where multiple options existed for a component or assembly, the bounding condition was taken as the option that had the greater potential to include greater than 20 percent cold work. This. option was then employed in the assessment of the component and was selected for the purposes of the Westinghouse evaluation. In some instances, sequential fabrication would appear to mitigate any potential for cold work; however, since the historical record was not detailed, the potential is noted, but a conservative approach was selected for the Westinghouse evaluation. The evaluation, performed consistently with MRP 2013-025, concluded that the reactor internals Categories 1, 2, and 3 (non-bolting) components at DCPP Units I and 2 contain no cold work greater than 20 percent as a result of material specification and controlled fabrication construction. Category 4 components were already assumed to have the potential for coldwork in the MRP-191 generic assessments. No Category 5 components with severe cold work were identified for DCPP Units I and 2. The detailed evaluation for~the DCPP Units 1 and 2 cold work assessments concluded that the plant-specific fabrication and design was consistent with the PG&E Letter DCL-15-150 Page 3 of 5 MRP-1 91 basis, and that the MRP-227-A (Reference 6) sampling inspection aging management requirements, as related to cold work, are directly applicable to DCPP Units I and 2. The inspection sampling requirements for aging management outlined in MRP-232 (Reference 7) are based on the assumptions of MRP-191 and MRP-227-A. Therefore, MRP-232 calls for the demonstration that the plant specific materials, fabrication, and design meet the assumptions inherent in MRP-191 and MRP-227-A. The detailed Westinghouse evaluation of DCPP Units I and 2 material fabrication and design has concluded that no non-fastener materials of greater than 20 percent cold work were used in construction, and that the inspection sampling approach of MRP-232 is applicable to DCPP Units I and 2. PG&E Response to Question 2 As stated in MRP 2013-025, to demonstrate plant-specific applicability of the MRP-227-A sampling inspection strategy for managing aging in reactor internals, licen~sees must demonstrate that the criteria of MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are met, and that the neutron fluence and heat generation rates are within the range of the following variables summarized. As detailed in WCAP-1 7462-NP, Revision 1, "Program Plan for Aging Management of Reactor Vessel Internals at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Unit 1," and WCAP-17463-NP, Revision 1, "Program Plan for Aging Management of Reactor Vessel Internals at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Unit 2," for DCPP Units I and 2, respectively, the criteria specified in MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 has been demonstrated as follows. The MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 assumptions are stated first, followed by' a description of how the assumptions are addressed at DCPP Units I and 2. The assumptions from MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are as follows:

  • 30 years of operation with high leakage core loading patterns (fresh fuel assemblies loaded in peripheral locations) followed by implementation of a low leakage fuel management strategy for the remaining 30 years of operation; DCPP Units 1 and 2 fuel management programs changed from a high-to
  • low-leakage core loading pattern prior to 30 years of operation.
  • Base load operation, iLe., typically operates at fixed power levels and does not usually vary power on a calendar or load demand schedule.

DCPP Units 1 and 2 operate as base-load units. PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 50 Page 4 of 5 No design changes beyond those identified in general industry guidance or recommended by the original vendors. MRP-227-A states that the recommendations are applicable to all U.S. PWR operating plants as of May 2007 for the three designs considered. There have been no modifications to reactor internals components at DCPP Units 1 or 2 since May 2007. Based on the applicability, as stated for DCPP Units 1 and 2, the criteria, of MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are met for DCPP Units 1 and 2. In addition to the req*uirement to demonstrate that the criteria of MRP-227-A, Section 2.4 are met, MRP 2013-025 requires that the neutron fluence and heat generation rates for DCPP Units 1 and 2 are within the range of the limiting threshold values defined in MRP 2013-025. The limiting threshold values defined for Westinghouse plants are: Average core power density less than 124 Watts/cm3 Heat generation figure of merit (F) less than or equal to 68 Watts/cm3

  • Active fuel to upper core plate distance greater than 12.2 inches PG&E is currently in the process of evaluating the DCPP Units I and 2 reactor internals components with regard to fuel designs and fuel management according to guidance provided in MRP 2013-025. PG&E is currently scheduled to complete and submit to the NRC the results of this evaluation for DCPP Units 1 and 2 by March 31, 2016 (see Enclosure 4).
