a. Inspection Scope

(1) Review of Newly Identified Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) The inspectors discussed the identification of newly identified SSCs, under the purview of 10 CFR 54.37(b), with the licensee's license renewal staff. The licensee reported that no new identified SSCs had been identified since the last inspection documented in IR 05000301/2012008 (ML12355A774). The inspectors did not identify any deficiencies. b. Review of FSAR and Commitment Change Process As part of reviewing the Aging Management Programs (AMPs) associated with the commitments, the inspectors reviewed the FSAR descriptions to confirm the implemented programs were consistent with the FSAR descriptions.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures to ensure that commitment revisions would follow the guidance in NEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," including the elimination of commitments, and would properly evaluate, approve, and report changes to license renewal commitments listed in the FSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. The inspectors reviewed each change associated with a commitment as noted in the next section. No disparities were identified with respect to implementation.

(1) Review of Commitments The inspectors reviewed supporting documents including completed surveillance records, conducted interviews, and observed the activities described below to verify the licensee completed the necessary actions to comply with the license conditions that are a part of the renewed operating license. The inspectors verified the licensee implemented the Aging Management Programs and time-limited aging analyses (TLAA) included in NUREG-1839, "Safety Evaluation Report (SER) Related to the License Renewal of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2," (ML053420134) in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 54, "Requirements for the Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants." When changes to these commitments were identified, the inspectors reviewed the Commitment Change Evaluation (CCE) to verify the licensee followed the guidance in NEI 99-04 for the license renewal commitment change process, including the elimination of commitments, and properly evaluated, reported, and approved where necessary, changes to license renewal commitments listed in the FSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.

The inspectors reviewed portions of the commitment items listed below which are referenced to Appendix A of the SER. Commitment items 40, 41, 43, 44, 49, 54, and 61, were reported as complete in the SER and therefore, not reviewed. Specific documents reviewed are listed in the enclosure. 1. Commitment Item 1, License Renewal Flags Commitment Item 1 specified the licensee would develop and implement an AMP that would apply license renewal flags to each component that will be maintained as part of the equipment information database in the Passport system prior to period of extended operation. This Commitment Item was verified as complete during the inspection for Unit 1 as documented in IR 05000266/2010-011 (ML102850469). Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 1. 2. Commitment Item 2, RI-ISI Program Inspections of Piping Welds Less than 4-Inch Nominal Pipe Size Commitment Item 2 specified the Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection (RI-ISI) Program inspections of piping welds less than 4-inch Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) will include volumetric examinations for non-socket welds and surface examinations for socket welds. The program requires volumetric examination of non-socket welds and surface examination of socket welds until a meaningful volumetric inspection technique is created for the geometry presented by socket welds, in a sample of susceptible risk significant small bore (< 4 inch) ASME Class 1 and 2 piping. All of the U2 small bore inspections were completed within the last interval. Furthermore, the small bore inspections completed during U2R31 were performed under work order (WO) 380584.

The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis documents, implementing procedures, non-destructive examination (NDE) records, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that the inspection requirements are incorporated in the ISI Program and station procedures.

Periodic monitoring of ground water chemistry (pH, chlorides, sulfates) will continue to be performed during the period of extended operation to ensure the environment remains non-aggressive. The frequency of monitoring ground water chemistry (pH, chlorides, sulfates) will be at least once every 5 years. The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis documents, implementing procedures, scheduled and completed work orders, and related condition reports (CRs); and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that the program enhancement and program commitments specified in the SER were incorporated into implementing plant procedures. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 3, 32, 42, 57, and 69. 4. Commitment Item 4, Continued Monitoring and Participation in Industry Initiatives with Regard to Baffle/Former and Barrel/Former Bolt Performance Commitment Item 4 specified the licensee will continue to monitor and participate in industry initiatives with regard to baffle/former and barrel/former bolt performance to support aging management for the Unit 1 bolting.

The inspectors determined Commitment Item 4 does not apply to Unit 2. 5. Commitment Item 5, Continued Participation in Industry Investigations of Aging Effects Applicable to Reactor Vessel Internals Commitment Item 5 specified the licensee will continue to participate in industry investigations of aging effects applicable to reactor vessel internals. Aging effects on reactor vessel internals is being addressed via the NRC approved industry guidance document MRP-227-A (ML12017A193). Aging management activities or surveillance techniques resulting from these initiatives will be incorporated, as required, as enhancements to the Reactor Vessel Internals Program.

The inspectors reviewed the implementing documents, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that the licensee is continuing to participate in industry activities.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 5 6. Commitment Item 6, Void Swelling in the Reactor Internals Program Commitment Item 6 specified the licensee will incorporate applicable results of industry initiatives related to void swelling in the Reactor Vessel Internals Program.

The licensee has incorporated applicable results of industry initiatives related to void swelling in the Reactor Vessel Internals Program. Void swelling is included in the NRC approved industry guidance document MRP-227-A (ML12017A193). The recommendations for void swelling from MRP-227-A (ML12017A193) have been incorporated in the site-specific document NP 7.7.30, "Reactor Vessel Internals Program" (which replaced AM 3-44). This program was submitted to the NRC for review via letter NRC 2011-0106 (ML113540301). Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 6. 7. Commitment Item 7, Leak Before Break Commitment Item 7 specified the plant process control procedures (design control, repair/replacement, and welding) will be revised to ensure that repair or replacement of Class 1 piping components within the scope of Leak Before Break (LBB) analysis for welded connections or Cast Austenitic Stainless Steel (CASS) would require a new LBB analysis based on replacement process and/or material properties. This Commitment Item was verified as complete during the inspection for Unit 1 as documented in IR 05000266/2010-011 (ML102850469). Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 7.

Commitment Item 8, Material Reliability Project (MRP) for Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI) Commitment Item 8 had specified the licensee would implement the NRC-approved industry activities resulting from the MRP, as appropriate, to manage any applicable aging effects identified through the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) MRP effort.

It was identified during the Unit 1, 71003 Phase II inspection that the licensee had closed tracking on this commitment with their submission of a Reactor Vessel Internals Program for NRC review under Commitment Item 29. After discussion with the inspectors, the licensee submitted a letter, NRC 2010-0135, to clarify that this commitment had not been completed, but rather consolidating it with Commitment Item 29, and changing the due date to "within 180 days following approval of the program by the NRC." The inspectors concluded the licensee initiated appropriate actions to address Commitment Item 8.

9. Commitment Item 9, Program Designated Bolting Commitment Item 9 specified the Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance (PSPM) Program would be used to replace a program for managing the periodic replacement of Unit 1 steam generator inspection port bolts.

The inspectors determined Commitment Item 9 does not apply to Unit 2.

10. Commitment Items 10, 12, and 30, Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program Commitment Item 10 specified the licensee would directly validate the integrity of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) with the testing of the capsule installed on Unit 2 in 2002, at a time when neutron fluence level calculations require. The schedule for capsule removal is still included in Table 2 of TRM 2.2, along with the discussion in NP 7.7.14. BAW-1543(NP), Revision 4, Supplement 6-A, "Supplement to the Master Integrated Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program," still contains the most current NRC reviewed and approved capsule removal schedule. In December, 2011 Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) issued MRP-326, "MRP Coordinated PWR Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program (CRVSP) Guidelines," where the industry recommended changes to the current surveillance capsule withdrawal schedule. Each pipe whip restraint (PWR) unit is specifically discussed, and there are no recommended changes to the withdrawal schedule for either Unit 1 or Unit 2. Commitment Item 10 is active and will be implemented by the Reactor Vessel Integrity Program. Commitment Item 12 specified the licensee would revise the upper shelf energy evaluation prior to the period of extended operation. The upper shelf energy evaluation was revised and is documented in BAW-2467P, Revision 1, "Low Upper-Shelf Toughness Fracture Mechanics Analysis of Reactor Vessel of Point Beach Units 1 and 2 or Extended Life through 53 Effective Full Power Years." This analysis was submitted to the NRC for review and approval in letter NRC 2006-0054 (ML061910335). The NRC review and approval is documented in NRC letter dated May 10, 2007 (ML071300623). Commitment Item 30 specified the licensee would implement an enhanced Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program prior to period of extended operation.

This commitment was met by developing the Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program which is consistent with, but includes exceptions to, NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report,"Section XI.M31, "Reactor Vessel Surveillance." NP 7.7.14, "Reactor Vessel Integrity Program" implements the program at the procedural level. The inspectors interviewed licensee personnel and reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, planned and completed work orders, corrective action program documents, industry group documentation, and implementing procedures. The inspectors verified that the program and program enhancements required for license renewal commitments were in place for Unit 2. The inspectors verified that implementing procedures and program documents directed that the RPV integrity would be directly validated and all reactor vessel surveillance capsules will be removed in accordance with the most recently NRC-approved Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG) Master Integrated Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program (MIRVP) documents during the period of extended operation. The inspectors verified that the licensee revised the upper shelf energy evaluation prior to the period of extended operation.

The licensee also demonstrated that an electronic report was in place to provide documentation of deferrals, cancellations, and frequency changes for call-ups credited for license renewal. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 27, 56 and 64.

27. Items 28, 52, and 53, Reactor Coolant System Alloy 600 Inspection Program Commitment Item 28 specified the licensee would develop and implement a Reactor Coolant System Alloy 600 Inspection Program prior to the period of extended operation.

This commitment was met by developing the Reactor Coolant System Alloy 600 Inspection Program based on Section XI.M11, "Nickel-Alloy Nozzles and Penetrations" of NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report," dated April 2001. Implementation was completed by the issuance of AM-3-31, Alloy 600 Management Program approved by the NRC Safety Evaluation Report. This commitment continues to be implemented via LR-AMP-013-RCA600, Reactor Coolant System Alloy 600 Inspection Program Basis Document for License Renewal and its implementing documents. ASME Code Case N-770-1 provides inspection and management guidance for Alloy 82/182 dissimilar metal (DM) butt welds. Code Case N-770-1 was incorporated into 10 CFR 50.55a on June 21, 2011. The NRC regulations require Alloy 82/182 welds with Alloy 52 inlays or onlays to be examined in accordance with Code Case N-770-1, regardless of when the Alloy 52 inlay or onlay was applied. The NRC will not exempt these welds from the requirements of Code Case N-770-1. However, the examinations of the Unit 2 Steam Generator Nozzle DM Butt Welds were completed in November 2012 during outage U2R32 using ultrasonic testing (UT) and eddy current testing (ET). No recordable indications were noted for any of the DM welds. As a result, the licensee -planned to request that these welds be re-categorized as mitigated. Commitment Item 52 states the licensee will use the interim report "PWR Materials Reliability Project Interim Alloy 600 Safety Assessment for US PWR Plants (MRP-44), Part 1: Alloy 82/182 Pipe Butt Welds," and its final version as part of the basis for the Reactor Coolant System Alloy 600 Inspection Program.

The licensee used the interim report "PWR Materials Reliability Interim Alloy 600 Safety Assessment of US PWR Plants (MRP-44) Part 1: Alloy 82/182 Pipe Butt Welds," and its final version as part of the basis for the Reactor Coolant System Alloy 600 Inspection Program. This was documented in the revised application for NRC review and approval of the Alloy 600 Management Program NRC RCA600 AMP, based on MRP-126, (the final version of EPRI MRP-44) which was submitted to the NRC in October of 2008 (ML082810445). The NRC approved the AMP in a safety evaluation in October of 2009 (ML092710593). LR-AMP-016-RCA600 reflects this conclusion. Commitment Item 53 states the licensee will submit the Reactor Coolant System Alloy 600 Inspection Program 24 - 36 months prior to the period of extended operation for staff review and approval to determine if the program demonstrates the ability to manage the effects of aging per 10 CFR 54.21 (a)(3). The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, implementing procedures, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified the submitted program met the requirements in these commitments.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 28, 52 and 53. 28. Commitment Item 29, Reactor Vessel Internals Program Commitment Item 29 originally specified the licensee would implement an enhanced Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI) Program "prior to the period of extended operation." By letter to the NRC dated April 23, 2010, (ML101160025), NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, (NextEra) submitted a revision to Regulatory Commitment Item 29 to modify the submittal date to be within 180 days following Commission approval of MRP-227. Since completion of the Unit 1, Phase II Inspection, the industry RVI guidance was reviewed, and the NRC issued the safety evaluation for MRP-227, "Pressurized Water Reactor lnternals lnspection and Evaluation Guidelines," on June 22, 2011. Comments within the SER were incorporated by the industry, with the final approved document being MRP-227-A (ML12017A193) Revision 1. Based on this approved guidance, the licensee enhanced the RVI Inspection Program, NP 7.7.30, (formerly AM 3-44). The Program was then submitted to the NRC on December 19, 2011, via PBNP Letter NRC 2011-0106 (ML113540301) which included NP 7.7.30 Revision 1 as an enclosure. The submittal met the requirements and due date of Commitment Item 29. The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, implementing procedures, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 29. 29. Commitment Items 31, 50, and 68, Steam Generator Integrity Program Commitment Item 31 specified the licensee will implement an enhanced Steam Generator Integrity Program prior to the period of extended operation. This commitment continues to be implemented via LR-AMP-003-SGINT, Steam Generator Integrity Program Basis Document for License Renewal and its implementing documents. Commitment Item 50 specified the licensee will perform visual inspections of accessible areas to verify the integrity of steam generator secondary-side components at least every six years, with one steam generator being inspected every three years on an alternating basis. Any indications of degradation or unacceptable conditions will be evaluated through the Corrective Action Program, including the extent of condition. It should be noted this Commitment Item was revised via CCE 2007-002 to change the secondary-side inspection frequency to every six Effective Full Power Years to coordinate with primary side inspection times (i.e., alternating three year inspection requirement has been deleted).

Commitment Item 68 specified the licensee will age-manage the SG feed-rings, J-nozzles, and feed-ring supports using the Water Chemistry Control Program and the SG Integrity Program. The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, commitment change evaluations, implementing procedures, scheduled and completed work orders, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified the program enhancement and program commitments were incorporated into implementing plant procedures. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 31, 50 and 68. 30. Commitment Items 33 and 62, System Monitoring Program Commitment Item 33 specified the licensee would implement an enhanced Systems Monitoring Program prior to the period of extended operation. Commitment Item 62 specified that all systems within the scope of license renewal containing components requiring an aging management review and that credit the Systems Monitoring Program for managing the effects of aging on the external surfaces of the components will be walked down at a minimum frequency of once per operating cycle, within the limits of accessibility. It also specified specific enhancements for supervisory review and evaluation. The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, the System Monitoring Program basis documentation, implementing procedures, planned and completed work orders, related corrective action documents, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that the licensee conducted periodic inspections of the fire protection system and the service water system, and that the licensee had enhanced the program as specified in the SER. The inspectors verified the program specified supervisors of each system to perform a review and document the results to ensure that the accessible portions of each system are walked down at a minimum frequency of once per operating cycle. The inspectors verified the licensee evaluated inaccessible areas of various systems to ensure that walked down contain the same material(s) and the same or more severe environment(s) as those portions that are considered inaccessible.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 33 and 62. 31. Commitment Item 34, Tank Internal Inspection Program Commitment Item 34 specified the licensee would develop and implement a Tank Internal Inspection Program prior to the period of extended operation.

The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, implementing procedures, inspection results, and related CRs; and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that the program and program enhancements for increased sampling to verify corrective actions were in place.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 34.

32. Commitment Item 35. Thimble Tube Inspection Commitment Item 35 specified the licensee would implement an enhanced Thimble Tube Inspection Program prior to the period of extended operation. Enhancements to the Thimble Tube Inspection Program include correcting program deficiencies concerning inspection deferrals, calculation methodology, and document retention.

This program requires periodic eddy current testing of thimble tubes and contains criteria for determining sample size, inspection frequency, flaw evaluation, and corrective action, in accordance with NRC Bulletin 88-09. The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, implementing procedures, and completed inspections; and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that program and associated enhancements were in place.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 35. 33. Commitment Item 36, Water Chemistry Control Program Commitment Item 36 specified the licensee would implement an enhanced Water Chemistry Control Program prior to the period of extended operation.

The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, implementing procedures, chemistry results, and related CRs; and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that program enhancements for increased sampling to verify corrective actions were in place. Additionally, the licensee implemented a commitment change to incorporate requirements from the latest EPRI TR 1014986, "PWR Primary Water Chemistry Guidelines," Revision 6, and EPRI TR 1016555, "PWR Secondary Water Chemistry Guidelines," Revision 7.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 36. 34. Commitment Item 37, Environmental Qualifications Commitment Item 37 specified the licensee would implement an enhanced Environmental Qualifications (EQ) Program prior to the period of extended operation. The enhancements to the EQ Program included new procedures, operating experience, and reorganization of activities. The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, program basis document, implementing procedures, assessments, and related CRs; and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors also reviewed the self-assessment report and the corrective actions resulting from the assessment. The inspectors verified the program implementing documents contained the appropriate License Renewal references. The inspectors verified the licensee conducted an assessment of all EQ components which include field verification and completion of EQ checklists reviews, which evaluates operating experience. Based on the review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions and assessment for the program, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 37.

35. Commitment Item 38, Fatigue Monitoring Program Commitment Item 38 specified the licensee was required to implement an enhanced Fatigue Monitoring Program prior to the period of extended operation. This commitment continues to be implemented via LR-AMP-025-FATMON, Fatigue Monitoring Program Basis Document for License Renewal and its implementing documents. The inspectors reviewed the licensing basis, the program basis document, implementing procedures, program health report, and related CRs; and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified the program enhancements were incorporated into the implementing plant procedure. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 38. 36. Commitment Item 39, Submit a Reactor Vessel Internals Program Commitment Item 39 stated a reactor vessel internals program would be submitted to the NRC for review and two years prior to entering into the period of extended operation. A commitment change per Letter NRC 2008-0067 (ML082480192) dated August 29, 2008, changed the date to one year prior to commencement of renewed operation as the industry reviews of EPRI MRP topical report had not been completed.

This commitment was originally completed with the submittal of under letter NRC 2009-0095 dated October 2, 2009. However, this submittal was not reviewed since the industry was continuing to define/refine the requirements of a Reactor Vessel Internals Aging Management Program. The NRC issued Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2011-07, "License Renewal Submittal Information for Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Aging Management," on July 21, 2011, which provided revised guidance to holders of renewed licenses with regard to the submittal of their RVI AMP. The units were considered Category A plants per RIS 2011-07, as the licensee had previously submitted its RVI AMP. After the NRC endorsed MRP 227, the final requirements as listed in MRP 227-A were incorporated into site document NP 7.7.30 (which was re-numbered from AM 3-44), and this was then submitted to the NRC under letter NRC 2011-0106 (ML113540301), meeting the RIS guidance of re-submitting prior to October 1, 2012. This commitment is considered complete with the re-submittal of their RVI Program to the NRC under letter 2011-0106 (ML113540301). The inspectors reviewed program basis document, implementing procedures, the referenced letters, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program.

Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 39.

37. Commitment Items 46, 47, and 48 Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Resolution Commitment Item 46 states the licensee will continue to implement the low-low leakage loading fuel management pattern to minimize the limiting weld fluence. In addition, the licensee will continue operation with hafnium absorber assemblies in service until the resolution of the Unit 2 intermediate to lower shell girth weld PTS issue via an alternative analysis methodology. Commitment Item 47 states the documentation of a Flux Reduction Program and other options as necessary, allowed by 10 CFR 50.61(b) for the Unit 2 Reactor Pressure Vessel intermediate-to-lower shell girth weld, will be completed within one year of receipt of the extended license. Documentation within this timeframe will support submittal of any required safety analysis at least three years prior to the timeframe that RT PTS for Unit 2 is projected to exceed the screening criteria. Commitment Item 48 states if acceptable PTS results cannot be provided prior to end-of-life (EOL) with alternate analysis techniques, the Flux Reduction Program will evaluate the feasibility and practicality of pursuing additional aggressive flux reduction measures prior to EOL such as the insertion of part length shielded fuel assemblies. The inspectors reviewed implementing procedures, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors reviewed Unit 2 cycles 32 and 33 final core loading patterns to verify the licensee was implementing a low-low leakage loading fuel management pattern and using hafnium absorber assemblies.

These requirements are captured in Procedures FP-NF-NAD-01, "Nuclear Fuel Management Process for Point Beach," and NP 7.7.14, "Reactor Vessel Integrity Program." The inspectors also verified the flux reduction program for the Unit 2 Reactor Pressure Vessel intermediate-to-lower shell girth weld was documented in Procedure NP 7.7.14. The licensee has achieved acceptable PTS results with alternate analysis techniques (per Framatome ANP Topical Report BAW-2308, Revision 1-A and 2-A) and has submitted the alternate analysis for NRC approval in License Amendment Request 252. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 46, 47 and 48. 38. Commitment Item 51, Monitoring Industry Activities for Small-Bore Piping Commitment Item 51 specified the licensee would monitor on-going industry activities related to failure mechanisms for small-bore piping, and will evaluate changes to the licensee's inspection activities based on industry recommendations. This Commitment Item continues to be implemented using implementing documents ISI CL 1, 2, 3 Program and NP 7.4.13. The ISI Program Coordinator is required by NP 7.4.13 to monitor on-going industry activities related to small-bore piping. This is done primarily through licensee personnel memberships in various industry working groups and code committees, where relevant information with regard to new inspection techniques is then communicated to the ISI Program Coordinator. Currently, there is no Code-approved method for performing volumetric inspections of socket welds. The industry continues to work on this technique, as evidenced by the EPRI Success Story, 1023447, however, this is not approved for use on ASME code piping, and therefore is not being used at the site (AR 1718463-02, Technical Position on Socket UT).

The inspectors reviewed the program basis documents, implementing procedures and related documents; and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program to verify this information. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 51. 39. Commitment Item 66, Code Case N-616 The original Commitment Item 66 specified that as a part of the ASME Section XI, Subsections IWB, IWC, and IWD Inservice Inspection Program, the requirements of Code Case N-616 will be supplemented by a VT-2 visual examination performed each outage for Class 1 systems and each inspection period for Class 2 and 3 systems with the insulation removed from the bolted connections. The connections are not pressurized during these examinations. This Commitment Item was cancelled because a decision was made not to use Code Case N-616, as it was not useful for detecting aging mechanisms in bolted connections. The cancellation was documented in a letter to the NRC (NRC 2001-0059; 10 CFR 50.59 Summary Report for 2010) dated July 1, 2011, (ML111822833). 40. Commitment Item 67, Cast Austenitic Stainless Steel (CASS) Primary Loop Elbows Commitment Item 67 states the licensee will use enhanced volumetric examination to detect and size cracks, or a plant, or component-specific flaw tolerance evaluation to demonstrate that CASS primary loop elbows potentially susceptible to thermal embrittlement have adequate fracture toughness. The inspectors reviewed documentation, including the flaw tolerance evaluation, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program.

The reactor coolant loop A374 TP316 piping material is not CASS material; and therefore, not susceptible to thermal aging, but some of the A351 CF8M piping elbow -ferrite content level. An evaluation was performed which demonstrated that even with thermal aging in the susceptible reactor coolant loop CASS piping material for Point Beach Units 1 and 2, the susceptible piping locations have been shown to be tolerant of large flaws. The evaluation is documented in Westinghouse LTR-PAFM-05-058, "Flaw Tolerance Evaluation for Susceptible CASS Reactor Coolant Piping Components in Point Beach Units 1 and 2." Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 67.

41. Commitment Item 70, Program Revisions for Selective Leaching Commitment Item 70 specified the following aging management programs will be revised to credit the One-Time Inspection Program to identify selective leaching of susceptible components: Open-Cycle Cooling (Service) Water System Surveillance Program; Fire Protection Program; Systems Monitoring Program; Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program; and Structures Monitoring Program. This Commitment Item was verified as complete during the inspection for Unit 1 as documented in IR 05000266/2010-011 (ML102850469). Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 70. 42. Commitment Item 71, Evaluation, Repair or Replacement of ASME Section XI, Subsections IWE and IWL Commitment Item 71 specified an evaluation, repair, or replacement requirement discussion will be included in the Acceptance Criteria element of the ASME Section XI, Subsections IWE and IWL lnservice Inspection Program of the LRA prior to the period of extended operation. If localized area thickness of the containment liner base metal is reduced by 50 percent or more of the nominal plate thickness, then every attempt should be made to correct by repair or replacement. If the repair or replacement option is impractical, an acceptance by engineering evaluation option may be pursued.

This commitment is described in LR-AMP-028-IWEL, and is implemented via ISI IWE Program, 2nd Interval, "IWE Containment Inspection Program Second Interval." The Unit 2 outage inspection during 2011 (U2R31) did not reveal any instances of metal reduction meeting this criteria. The inspectors reviewed the program basis document, implementing procedures, and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that this requirement has been incorporated in the program. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 71. 43. Commitment Item 72, Localized Area Thickness Reductions of 50 Percent or Greater Commitment Item 72 specified that if localized area thickness of the base metal is reduced by approximately 50 percent or more of the nominal plate thickness, then the re-examinations required by IWE 2420(b) will be continued in the succeeding inspection periods and the provisions of IWE-2420(c) will not be applied.

IWE-2420 (c) states that when the reexaminations required by IWE-2420(b) reveal that the flaws or areas of degradation or areas subjected to a repair replacement activity, remain essentially unchanged for three consecutive inspection periods, these areas no longer require augmented examination. This commitment is described in LR-AMP-028-IWEL, and is implemented via ISI IWE Program 2nd Interval "IWE Containment Inspection Program Second Interval." The Unit 2 outage inspection during 2011 (U2R31) did not reveal any instances of metal reduction meeting this criteria. The inspectors reviewed the program basis document, implementing procedures, examination records and interviewed the plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified that this requirement has been incorporated in the program. Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 72.
