SUMMARY
OF MEETING BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC) STAFF AND ROCHESTER GAS & ELECTRIC CORPORATION REPRESENTATIVES TO DISCUSS THE R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION On August 27, 2002, the NRC staff met with members of Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation (RG&E) in a public meeting to discuss the license renewal application (LRA) for the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna Station). The list of attendees is provided in Enclosure 1 and the meeting agenda is provided in Enclosure 2.
Messrs. George Wrobel, David Wilson, and George Herrick of RG&E provided an overview of the application. The overview included how they developed the LRA and how the information from chapter two, Scoping and Screening Methodology, is linked to chapter three, Aging Management Review Results. Mr. Wilson discussed lessons learned in developing an LRA using NUREG-1800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants" (SRP-LR) and NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL)
Report." Mr. Wilson stated that, in order to track a component from the system prints through the tables contained in chapters two and three, RG&E developed review tools. The tools aided RG&E staff in verifying that a component identified on the print (e.g., spent fuel pool) as subject to an aging management review (AMR), was captured in the tables in chapter two and three.
The tables follow the SRP-LR and use generic terminology for components such as, "tank,"
"valve," or "structure." The application, itself, cannot link the spent fuel pool to its generic component category. However, RG&E demonstrated how the review tools would allow the reviewer to track the spent fuel pool from the print to the specific table entry in chapters two and three under which the spent fuel pool is captured.
Mr. Wilson stated that RG&E is willing to provide the review tools to the staff, if the staff thinks the tools will aid in their review. Mr. Wilson stated that it is primarily a business decision for RG&E to provide the review tools to the staff, however, if it reduces the amount of review time it takes to perform the review, he would be willing to provide the tools. The staff stated that the review tools appear to be very useful. However, the staff agreed to discuss the issue and inform RG&E on whether the review tools are needed or not.
With regard to scoping and screening, RG&E explained the methodology used to scope and screen structures, systems, and components to identify those structures and components that are subject to an AMR, and gave examples of how these results are documented in the LRA.
RG&E described the process used to compare Ginna Stations aging management programs (AMPs) with those credited in the GALL report. RG&E used a two-table format, one table was for structures and components that were consistent with GALL and the other was for structures and components that were not consistent with GALL. RG&E said that if an AMP was not completely consistent with or not addressed in GALL, then it was placed in table two.
This resulted in table two being quite large. RG&E also stated that they have been more descriptive in the discussion portion of the tables. Mr. Wilson, as he navigated through the application, pointed out that the notes on the prints contain useful information. The staff acknowledged this and asked if there was a legend to identify the symbols used on the prints.
Mr. Wrobel, said that the LRA did not contain a legend, but that they would provide one. Mr.
Wilson also stated that the prints do not identify system boundaries, rather they identify the portions of the system that are subject to an AMR. The system boundaries are described in the text.
The staff asked RG&E if the topical reports they referenced are approved for 60 years, because some topical reports are only approved for 40 years. RG&E said they believed that the topical reports they used are approved for 40 years, but could be extended to 60 years because they used an approved methodology.
Mr. Wrobel discussed the time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs) and the AMPs. During the TLAA discussion, Mr. Wrobel explained how RG&E addressed metal fatigue and reactor vessel neutron embrittlement, including pressurized thermal shock and upper shelf energy.
A draft of this meeting summary was provided to the applicant to allow them the opportunity to comment prior to the summary being issued.
