Attachment 1 to GNRO-2012/00105 Response to Requests for Additional Information (RAI) to GNRO-2012/00105 Page 1 of 15 The format for the RAI responses below is as follows. The Request for Additional Information (RAI) is listed in its entirety as received from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with background, issue and request subparts. This is followed by the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) RAI response to the individual question.
RAI3.5.1.12-1 Background. NRC Information Notice (IN) 2011-20 "Concrete Degradation by Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR)" was issued to inform industry of operating experience related to concrete degradation due to ASR. IN 2011-20 was issued on November 18, 2011, which is after the NRC received the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) license renewal application (LRA) on November 1,2011. IN 2011-20 states that the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) updated standards, ASTM C1260 and ASTM C1293, and guidance provided in the appendices of ASTM C289 and ASTM C1293, cautions that the tests described in ASTM C227 and ASTM C289 may not accurately predict aggregate reactivity when dealing with late- or slow-expanding aggregates containing strained quartz or microcrystalline quartz.
The Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report recommends using the XI.S2 "ASME Section XI, Subsection IWL", XI.S6 "Structures Monitoring", and XI.S7, "Regulatory Guide 1.127, Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants" or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)/US Army Corp of Engineers dam inspections and maintenance aging management programs (AMPs) to manage cracking due to expansion from reaction with aggregates for those accessible areas of concrete structures within the scope of the respective programs. However, for inaccessible areas, further evaluation is required to determine if a plant-specific AMP is needed.
The following discussions for items with same aging-effect/mechanism "cracking due to expansion from reaction with aggregates" were provided in LRA Table 3.5.1:
LRA Table 3.5.1, item 12, states that this item is not applicable and the listed aging effects do not require management at GGNS. Nonetheless, components are included in the Containment Inservice Inspection - IWL program to verify the absence of other aging effects, such as loss of material, for components in this listing.
LRA Table 3.5.1, item 19, states that this item is not applicable and the listed aging effects do not require management at GGNS. Nonetheless, components are included in the Containment Inservice Inspection - IWL program to verify the absence of other aging effects, such as cracking, for components in this listing.
LRA Table 3.5.1, item 43, states that this item is consistent with the GALL Report. The Structures Monitoring program will manage the effects of cracking for the components in this listing.
LRA Table 3.5.1, item 50, states that this item is not applicable. Listed aging effects do not require management at GGNS. Nonetheless, components are included in the RG 1.127 and Structures Monitoring programs to verify the absence of other aging effects, such as cracking, for components in this listing.
LRA Table 3.5.1, item 54, states that cracking due to expansion due to reaction with aggregates does not require aging management for concrete for these groups of structures at GGNS, because concrete is constructed in accordance with the recommendation in ACI 318.
Nonetheless, components are included in the Structures Monitoring program.
to GNRO-2012/00105 Page 2 of 15 Issue. The GALL Report identifies cracking due to expansion from reaction with aggregates as a possible aging effect for concrete structures in any environment; and industry operating experience, communicated through IN 2011-20, has shown that tests described in ASTM C227 and ASTM C289 may not accurately predict aggregate reactivity when dealing with late- or slow-expanding aggregates containing strained quartz or microcrystalline quartz. The staff notes that LRA Section 3.5.2.2.1.8 states potential reactivity of aggregates were tested in accordance with ASTM C 289 and ASTM C 227.
It is also unclear why cracking due to expansion from reaction with late- or slow-expanding aggregates would not be an applicable aging effect at GGNS for LRA Table 3.5.1, items 12, 19, 50, and 54. but is consistent with the GALL Report for item 3.5.1-43 as stated above from the discussion column of Table 3.5-1.
Request.
- a. State if operating experience for cracking due to expansion from reaction with aggregates is applicable to GGNS; and, if applicable, provide action(s) and/or program to manage this aging effect during the period of extended operation.
- b. Provide the technical justification as to why the aging management review (AMR) items associated with cracking due to expansion from reaction with late- or slow-expanding aggregates are not applicable, and why this aging effect does not require aging management at GGNS.
- c. If revisions to LRA Table 3.5.1, items 12, 43, and 50 are needed, ensure LRA Sections 3.5.2.2.1.8, 3.5.2.2.2.1.2, and 3.5.2.2.2.3.2 are consistent, to provide clarification in the evaluation of these sections.
RAI3.5.1.12-1 RESPONSE
- a. Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) operating experience has not identified cracking due to expansion from reaction with aggregates as an aging effect requiring management for accessible and inaccessible concrete areas of structures. Furthermore, inspections of concrete structures at GGNS which are routinely performed under the Structures Monitoring, RG 1.127 and Containment Inservice Inspection - IWL programs have shown no evidence of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) on concrete. However, as shown in LRA Table 3.5.1, concrete GGNS structures within the scope of license renewal will continue to be inspected during the period of extended operation (PEO) for any evidence of ASR. If concrete inspection results reveal cracking or any evidence of ASR, the site corrective action program requires evaluation of the condition and determination of appropriate corrective action.
- b. Consistent with NUREG-1801 (GALL) (e.g., item II.A1.CP-67), an aging management program is not required if (1) as described in NUREG-1557, investigations, tests, and petrographic examinations of aggregates performed in accordance with ASTM C 295 and other ASTM reactivity tests, as required, can demonstrate that those aggregates do not adversely react within concrete, or (2) for potentially reactive aggregates, aggregate concrete reaction is not significant if it is demonstrated that the in-place concrete can perform its intended function. GGNS Class I structures and containment accessible and inaccessible concrete (walls, dome, and basemat ring girder) is designed in accordance with ACI standard AC1318, (Building Code Requirements for reinforced concrete) and GGNS concrete specification requires that the potential reactivity of aggregates be tested in accordance with ASTM C 289 and ASTM C 227. Also ASTM C 295 was used to identify elements in the aggregate, such as aggregates containing strained quartz or to GNRO-2012/001 05 Page 3 of 15 microcrystalline quartz, which may be unfavorably reactive with alkalis in cement.
Furthermore GGNS concrete structures are constructed of a dense, durable mixture of sound coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, water, and admixture resulting in low permeability concrete which reduces the effects of ASR. Cement used in construction of GGNS was Portland Cement Type II, low alkali, conforming to ASTM C 150-72, Standard Specification for Portland Cement. The sum of the tricalcium silicate and tricalcium aluminate did not exceed 55 percent (in accordance with Footnote C, Table 1A on optional Chemical Requirements, ASTM C 150-72). GGNS cement does not contain more than 0.60 percent total alkali equivalent and concrete included pozzolan as an admixture. Furthermore, as discussed in part a. above, inspections of concrete at GGNS have been routinely completed with no evidence of ASR. Therefore cracking, due to expansion from reaction with late- or slow-expanding aggregates, is not an aging effect requiring management for GGNS concrete structures. Nevertheless, ongoing activities of the Structures Monitoring, RG 1.127 and Containment lnservice Inspection -
IWL programs include inspections that are capable of identifying degradation, if any, attributable to ASR.
- c. A revision to the LRA is not required.
RAI 3.5.1.94-1 Background. The GALL report (item III.B1.1.TP-10) states that non-metallic vibration isolation elements exposed to air-indoor, uncontrolled or air-outdoor should be managed for reduction or loss of isolation function due to radiation hardening, temperature, humidity, and sustained vibratory loading using the ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Program. In LRA table 3.5-1, item 94, the applicant states that age management of vibration isolation elements is not applicable because no vibration isolation elements at GGNS are in scope and subject to aging management review. The staff reviewed the applicant's Inservice lnspection-IWF Program in LRA Section B.1.24 and noted that there is an enhancement to the parameters monitored or inspected program element that states, "Elastomeric vibration elements will be monitored for cracking, loss of material, and hardening." Further, the staff reviewed LRA Section A.1.42 and noted that the Structures Monitoring Program is enhanced with inspection requirements for vibration isolators to include augmented inspections by feel or touch to detect hardening if the vibration isolation function is suspect.
Issue. The applicant's statement that there are no vibration isolation elements in scope is not consistent with the applicant's proposed enhancement to the "parameters monitored or inspected" ISI-IWF program element stated in LRA Section B.1.24 or the applicant's proposed enhancement to the Structures Monitoring program in LRA Section A.1.42 for age management of vibration isolation elements.
Request.
- a. Clarify if there are vibration isolation elements at GGNS included in scope for license renewal. If not included in scope, provide justification to support that determination.
- b. If vibration isolation elements will be managed as stated in the Structures Monitoring and/or Inservice Inspection-IWF Programs, confirm that the statements in the LRA accurately reflect the planned enhancements to those programs.
to GNRO-2012/001 05 Page 4 of 15 RAI 3.5.1.94-1 RESPONSE
- a. There are vibration isolation elements within scope of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) license renewal. However, as shown in LRA line item 3.5-1 item 94, there are no non-metallic vibration isolation elements within the scope of license renewal managed by the GGNS ASME Section XI, Inservice Inspection-IWF (ISI-IWF) program.
The vibration isolation elements that are within the scope of license renewal are integral parts of structural support assemblies. Therefore, they are included in the LRA Table 2.4-4 (Bulk Commodities Subject to Aging Management Review) and Table 3.5.2-4 (Bulk Commodities) within line item "Component and piping supports" and "Component and piping supports for ASME Class 1, 2, 3 and MC." As shown in those tables, the effects of aging on structural support assemblies, which includes the vibration isolation elements, are managed by Structures Monitoring Program and ISI-IWF program.
- b. As discussed in response to 'a.' above, the Structures Monitoring and ISI-IWF Program will manage the aging effects of vibration isolation elements within the scope of license renewal. Since there are no non-metallic vibration isolation elements managed by the GGNS ASME Section XI, Inservice Inspection-IWF (ISI-IWF) program, the proposed enhancement in LRA Appendix B Section B.1.24, element 3, "parameters monitored or inspected" is not required and is revised as shown below. Deletions are shown with strike-through.
8.1.24 INSERVICE INSPECTION - IWF PROGRAM Enhancements The following enhancements will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation.
to GNRO-2012/00105 Page 5 of 15 Elements Affected Enhancements
- 3. Parameters Monitored or The ISI-IWF Program will be enhanced to Inspected clarify that parameters monitored or inspected will include corrosion; deformation; misalignment of supports; missing, detached, or loosened support items; improper clearances of guides and stops; and improper hot or cold settings of spring supports and constant load supports. Accessible areas of sliding surfaces will be monitored for debris, dirt, or indications of excessive loss of material due to wear that could prevent or restrict sliding as intended in the design basis of the support. Elastomeric vibration isolation elements will be monitored for cracking, loss of material, and hardening.
Structural bolts will be monitored for corrosion and loss of integrity of bolted connections due to self-loosening and material conditions that can affect structural integrity. High-strength structural bolting (actual measured yield strength greater than or equal to 150 ksi or 1,034 MPa in sizes greater than 1 inch nominal diameter) susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) will be monitored for SCC.
RAI B1.14-2a 8ackground. In response to RAI 81.14-2 dated July 25,2012, the applicant described the acceptance criteria used for the GGNS containment concrete surface visual examination. The applicant also stated that the GGNS acceptance criteria used for the containment concrete surface visual examination are consistent with the quantitative acceptance criteria recommended in Chapter 5 of ACI 349.3R-02.
Issue. The staff reviewed the applicant's response of RAI 81.14-2, and noted that the detailed acceptance criteria described in RAI 81.14-2 response for the GGNS containment concrete surface is based on the quantitative limits of the second tier acceptance criteria in Subchapter 5.2.1 of ACI 349.3R-02. This does not appear to be consistent with the guidelines recommended in Chapter 5 of ACI 349.3R-02, which require further evaluation if concrete surface conditions did not meet the quantitative limits of first tier acceptance criteria in Subchapter 5.1.1. The applicant did not provide any justification for excluding the first tear evaluation criteria of the ACI 349.3R-02 for the GGNS containment concrete surface examination.
Request. Explain the reason for not using the first tier evaluation criteria as defined in Subchapter 5.1 of the ACI 349.3R-02 for the GGNS containment concrete surface examination.
to GNRO-2012/00105 Page 6 of 15 RAI 81.14-2a RESPONSE Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) Containment Inservice Inspection- IWL containment concrete surface examination recording criteria are consistent with first tier criteria as defined in Subchapter 5.1 of ACI 349.3R-02 and include the following.
- Appearance of leaching or chemical attack to include areas of exudation, efflorescence, stalactites or stalagmites
- Abrasion or erosion degradation
- Popouts or voids 20 mm (3/4 inches) or more in diameter (or of equivalent surface area)
- Scaling 5 mm (3/16 inches) or more in depth
- Spalling 10 mm (3/8 inches) or more in depth
- Spalling 100 mm (4 ~ inches) or more in any dimension
- Excessive corrosion of embedded metallic surfaces
- Corrosion staining on the concrete surface
- Cracks 0.4 mm (0.015 inches) in maximum width, measured below any surface enhanced widening
- Excessive deflection, settlement or other physical movement The concrete surfaces that exceed the above criteria are identified for further evaluation under second tier criteria as defined in ACI 349.3R-02, subchapter 5.1, which were provided in response to RAI B.1.14-2.
RAI8.1.15-1 Background. The GGNS Containment Leak Rate Program, states that GGNS has implemented Option B for the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J testing and is consistent with GALL Report AMP XI.S4, "10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J." The GALL Report AMP XI.S4 "scope of program" program element states, "[t]he scope of the containment LRT program includes all containment boundary pressure-retaining components."
Issue. The GGNS Technical Specifications state, "10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J program establishes the leakage rate testing program of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(0)
[conditions of licenses] and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Option B as modified by approved exemptions." In addition, Section 6.2.6.3, "Primary Containment Isolation Valve Leakage Rate Tests," of the UFSAR states, "[c]ertain valves are not required to be Type C tested by Appendix J although they meet the GDC definitions of containment isolation valves." It is not clear how the applicant will manage aging effects of exempted/excluded components (valves, penetrations, and other components) from the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J testing for the period of extended operation.
Request. For those components (valves, penetrations, and other components) that have been exempted/excluded from the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J testing, identify how aging effects will be managed during the period of extended operation. Indicate which AMPs will be used to manage the aging effects for each of the exempted/excluded components, or justify why an AMP is not necessary for the period of extended operation.
to GNRO-2012/00105 Page 7 of 15 RAI 8.1.15-1 RESPONSE The components listed in the table below are exempted from 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J testing. The components listed in the table do not meet the criteria of 10CFR50, Appendix J, for designation as containment isolation valves that are required to be Type C tested, although they are classified as containment isolation valves per General Design Criterion 55 or 56. During the period of extended operations, the aging effects on those components that have been exempted/excluded from 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J testing are managed by the aging management program identified in the table below using the following notes.

The GGNS Containment Leak Rate Program, states that GGNS has implemented Option B for the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J testing and is consistent with GALL Report AMP XI.S4. The GALL Report AMP XI.S4 "monitoring and trending" program element states:
Because the LRT program is repeated throughout the operating license period, the entire pressure boundary is monitored over time. The frequency of these tests depends on which option (A or B) is selected. With Option A, testing is performed on a regular fixed time interval as defined in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J. In the case of Option B, the interval for testing may be adjusted on the basis of acceptable performance in meeting leakage limits in prior tests.
Additional details for implementing Option B are provided in NRC RG 1.163 and NEI94-01.
Issue. The GGNS Technical Specifications, referencing the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Testing Program, state that the performance characteristics of the program are implemented in accordance with Amendment 135 to the Operating License. The NRC's staff safety evaluation report for Amendment 135, dated April 6, 1998, states that the applicant does not use NRC RG 1.163, which establishes the performance criteria per GALL Report XI.S4, for "10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Program," for implementation of Option B. There appears to be an inconsistency between the proposed AMP and the recommendations in GALL (i.e., use of guidance in NRC RG 1.163 for implementation of Option B for containment leak rate testing).
to GNRO-2012/001 05 Page 12 of 15 Request
- a. For the Containment Leak Rate Program, identify the exceptions and/or enhancements needed to make the program consistent with GALL and identify whether the program should be either evaluated as:
- 1. Consistent with exceptions,
- 2. Consistent with enhancements, or
- 3. Consistent with exceptions and enhancements.
- b. If the program is not consistent, consistent with exceptions, or consistent with enhancements with GALL, then expand the summary description of the program sufficiently, so it can be reviewed as a plant-specific program.
RAI 8.1.15-2 RESPONSE
- a. The Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) Containment Leak Rate Program is in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option B. GGNS procedures delineate the requirements for Types A, Band C leakage rate testing based upon the criteria in Regulatory Guide 1.163, NEI94-01, and ANSI 56.8-1994. GGNS submitted amendment request (Amendment 135) to revise the GGNS Technical Specifications to permit implementation of the containment leak rate testing provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option B. The amendment request proposed to use the guidance described in a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Safety Evaluation Report (SER) rather than Regulatory Guide 1.163, as the method of implementing Appendix J, Option B. The NRC SER was for an exemption requested from Appendix J Option A granted to GGNS on April 26, 1995. The approval of Amendment 135 permitted GGNS to implement the containment leak rate testing provisions using Option B in lieu of Option A. The safety evaluation for Amendment 135 concluded that the amendment request was acceptable ["...that the use of the guidance of the April 26, 1995, SER is consistent with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.163 and is therefore acceptable."] Based upon this consistency with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.163, the GGNS Containment Leak Rate Program identified in LRA Appendix B Section B.1.15 is considered consistent with NUREG 1801 Program XI.S4 with no exceptions or enhancements.
- b. The GGNS Containment Leak Rate Program is consistent as noted in response to a.
above so no additional summary description is required.
RAI8.1.22-7a Background. In addressing an error report associated with the CHECWORKS software, GGNS condition report CR201 0-00823 stated that CHECWORKS is only one of the tools used by the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program to determine component wear. In its initial response to the RAI for this issue, the staff requested GGNS to provide a description of other in-place processes or verification methods used by the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program to determine component wear that could validate or detect errors in the CHECWORKS software.
The response dated May 25, 2012, stated that the results of component inspections are the primary input used to calculate the next scheduled inspection, and that this approach provides reasonable assurance that an error in the CHECWORKS software will not prevent the GGNS Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program from providing reasonable assurance that the intended to GNRO-2012/001 05 Page 13 of 15 function of components will be maintained. The response concluded that as more actual inspection data is acquired, the already limited reliance of CHECWORKS becomes less.
Issue. The condition report discussed above documented an error in the CHECWORKS software and the resolution of this issue stated that CHECWORKS is only one of the tools used by the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program to predict component wear. The response appears to state that GGNS calculates the next scheduled inspection primarily using the results of component inspections independently from CHECWORKS. It is not clear to the staff how GGNS calculates the next scheduled inspection using the results of component inspections without CHECWORKS. Further, it is not clear to staff how reliance on the component inspection results reduces the effects of the errors in CHECKWORKS. Since the condition report stated that CHECWORKS is only one of the tools used by the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program to determine component wear, the staff needs additional information about the other tools that are used to calculate component wear.
Request. Provide a description of the other tools (Le., any in-place process or verification method), which are used in the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program to determine component wear that could detect or validate errors in the CHECWORKS software. If CHECWORKS is the only prediction tool being used, then explain how the use of component inspection results reduces the effects of any errors in CHECWORKS.
RAJ B.1.22-7a RESPONSE Measurement of actual wall thickness during inspections is the primary tool used in the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program to determine component wear that could detect errors in the CHECWORKS software. Selection of inspection locations for an outage is based on the following factors.
- previous inspection results
- CHECWORKS susceptibility ranking
- industry and plant-specific operating experience
- components selected to calibrate CHECWORKS
- components subject to off normal flow conditions, such as caused by a leaking valve
- susceptible non-modeled small bore piping that has not been inspected For every component selected for inspection based on CHECWORKS prediction, the measured wall thickness is compared to the predicted value. The actual measured wall thickness data can be used to detect errors in the CHECWORKS software.
Decisions for component repair, replacement or re-inspection are made based on measured or apparent wear found during inspections. The process of using measured wall thickness data for determination of component wear includes the following steps.
- Initial thickness of a component is determined by ultrasonic inspection prior to the component being placed in service or in the first ultrasonic inspection during its service life. If an examination has not previously been performed on the component, the initial thickness is the nominal component wall thickness unless the initial ultrasonic inspection data identifies thickness greater than nominal thickness. In such cases, the maximum identified wall thickness within the relevant area is used as initial thickness.
to GNRO-2012/001 05 Page 14 of 15
- The projected wear rate is calculated by taking the change in wall thickness divided by the operating time between measurements or between the time the component was placed in service and the time of the measurement.
- Using the projected wear rate and the component's minimum acceptable wall thickness, the next inspection is scheduled. It is re-inspected before or during the outage immediately prior to the cycle during which it is projected to wear to the minimum acceptable wall thickness.
As can be seen from these steps, measurement of actual wall thickness is a primary contributor in predicting degradation due to flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC).
RAI8.1.43-1a Background. GALL Report AMP XI.M2, "Water Chemistry," states that the water chemistry program for boiling water reactors (BWRs) relies on monitoring and control of reactor water chemistry based on industry guidelines in the BWR Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP)-190.
The response to RAI B.1.43-1, dated May 25,2012, regarding the methods used to determine the effectiveness of hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) at GGNS, states that platinum loading will be verified by using an artifact that had been removed from the reactor core, because an electrochemical corrosion potential (ECP) mitigation monitoring system was not available during the last operating cycle. The response continued by stating that BWRVIP-62, Revision 1, "Technical Basis for Inspection Relief for BWR Internal Components with Hydrogen Injection,"
does not require platinum deposition measurements on coupons to demonstrate mitigation for reactors that use on-line noble chemistry (OLNC). The response also stated that the recommendations by the NRC in the safety evaluation to BWRVIP-62 were incorporated into BWRVIP-62-A, which have been incorporated into BWRVIP-62, Revision 1. The applicant further stated that continuous ECP monitoring will be installed during the spring 2012 outage, which will meet the recommendations of BWRVIP-62, Revision 1.
Issue. The NRC has not reviewed BWRVIP-62, Revision 1, and there are differences between the NRC's recommendations for verification of noble metal loading in the safety evaluation related to BWRVIP-62-A, and the guidance given in BWRVIP-62, Revision 1. Specifically, BWRVIP-62-A states that noble metal (platinum) loading shall be monitored by periodic removal of durability monitors or by removal and analysis of deposits from artifacts within the vessel. In addition, the staff noted that BWRVIP-190, states that for plants using noble metal chemical application with ECP probes, catalyst (platinum) loading on durability monitors or vessel artifacts are to be monitored to demonstrate the effective implementation of HWC. Furthermore, although BWRVIP-190 discusses OLNC, it does not address any difference for platinum deposition measurements on coupons for plants using this technique. It is not clear to the staff whether the applicant will continue to monitor noble metal loading during the period of extended operation or whether continuous ECP monitoring has been installed.
Request. Confirm that, during the period of extended operation, the Water Chemistry Control-BWR program will monitor noble metal loading by either periodic removal of durability monitors or by removal and analysis of deposits from artifacts within the vessel. If not, justify the difference with BWRVIP-190 for monitoring catalyst loading to demonstrate effective implementation of HWC. Additionally, confirm that continuous ECP monitoring has been installed.
to GNRO-2012/001 05 Page 15 of 15 RAI 8.1.43-1 a RESPONSE During the period of extended operation, GGNS will monitor noble metal loading using periodic removal of durability monitor coupons.
Installation of equipment for continuous ECP monitoring was completed during the spring 2012 refueling outage.
