ENCLOSURE I NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) Dated June 22, 2005 (10 pages) NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-1 (a) NUREG-1801 XI.M29 states that the plant walk-downs cover the entire outer surface of the tank up to its surface in contact with soil or concrete. The applicant is requested to clarify if the entire exposed external surface of the above ground steel tanks are included within scope of the Systems Monitoring Program. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-1 (a) The System Monitoring Program is designed to cover the entire accessible exposed surfaces of above ground steel tanks down to its surface contact with soil or concrete. The program will not rely on sampling of locations when completing inspections. The entire accessible exposed surface is that which can normally be accessed by an individual taking advantage of installed plant walkways, ladders and platforms. 1 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-1(b) The LRA AMR Tables credit the Systems Monitoring Program for managing external surfaces of elastomers, but elastomers are not specifically addressed in the Systems Monitoring program. The applicant is requested to clarify if elastomers are within scope of the Systems Monitoring Program and, if so, consider the unique aging degradation characteristics of elastomers in the specified environment and include a discussion of elastomers within each element of the program. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-1(b) As discussed in the response to RAI B2.1.20-1(c) Palisades has determined that there are no elastomers in mechanical systems that are required to be managed by an Aging Management Program. Therefore, there are no elastomers managed by the System, Monitoring Program. 2 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-1(c) Considering the limited shelf life and service life of elastomers for the specified environment, the applicant is requested to clarify if elastomers meet the definition of long-lived components within scope of license renewal. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-1(c) NMC has determined that the elastomers listed in the Heating, Ventilation and air Conditioning (HVAC) System, and the Service Water System AMR tables of the LRA are not long lived components that require aging management. Therefore, there are no elastomers in mechanical systems that are required to be managed by an Aging Management Program (AMP), and the line items for elastomers in Tables 2.3.3-9, 3.3.2-9 and 3.3.2-12, and Sections 3.3.2.1-9 and 3.3.2.1-12 should be deleted. Based on this determination, NMC will enhance the preventive maintenance program to periodically inspect, and replace as necessary, the expansion joints/flexible connections in the portions of the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning System, and the Service Water System, that are in-scope for license renewal. 3

Enclosure I NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-2(a) NUREG-1 800 Item 4 indicates that the justification, including codes and standards, that the technique and frequency are adequate to detect the aging effects before a loss of SC intended function. Industry documents such as EPRI 1009743 (Aging Identification and Assessment Checklist), EPRI GS-7086 (Testing, Monitoring, and Maintenance of Aboveground Storage Tanks) and API 575 (Inspection of Atmospheric and Low-Pressure Storage Tanks) include inspection and testing practices for mechanical systems and components. The applicant is requested to clarify what codes and standards or manufacturer's recommendations are applied to determine that the technique and frequency are adequate to detect degradation before the loss of intended component function. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-2(a) NMC will identify specific methods of inspection for individual components as part of the System Monitoring Program implementation procedure development. NMC will begin working on implementation later in 2005 and plans to complete draft aging management programs and procedures in 2006. The System Monitoring Program will be included in this effort. Palisades' System Monitoring Program will adopt recommendations for inspection techniques and frequencies from applicable codes, industry standards, and/or manufacturers' recommendations. Industry documents such as EPRI 1009743, EPRI GS-7086, and API 575 will be used as source documents to define the tank testing and inspection requirements. 4 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-2(b) LRA AMR Tables credit the Systems Monitoring Program for managing change in material properties and cracking for elastomers used inside/outside containment. The applicant is requested to clarify how visual inspections are performed to detect changes in material properties and identify if other methods such as hardness testing or physical manipulation in combination with visual inspections are appropriate. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-2(b) As identified in the response to RAI B2.1.20-1(c) Palisades has determined that there are no elastomers in mechanical systems that are required to be managed by an Aging Management Program. Therefore, there are no elastomers managed by the System Monitoring Program. 5 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-2(c) The applicant is requested to clarify if sampling is applied to inspect a group of SCs or clarify if the entire surfaces of all accessible components are inspected. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-2(c) The system monitoring program is designed to inspect the entire accessible exposed surface of components included within the scope of the program. The program will not rely on sampling of locations when completing inspections. The entire accessible exposed surface is that which can normally be accessed by an individual taking advantage of installed plant walkways, ladders and platforms. 6 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-2(d) For those surfaces that are insulated, the applicant is requested to clarify if insulation will be removed to provide access for inspections. Where insulation is not removed, the applicant is requested to justify the basis that any potential degradation will be detected. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-2(d) NMC will not remove insulation solely for the inspections performed by the System Monitoring Program. Removal of insulation is not considered necessary to identify likely locations of potential degradation. The condition of the insulation (e.g., discoloration, evidence of wetting, etc.), in itself, provides a good indirect indicator of the conditions beneath. If the insulation condition indicates that a potential problem exists beneath the insulation, this condition would be documented and corrective action, (e.g., isolation, insulation removal, further inspection, repairs) would be initiated. The Palisades system walk downs will look for evidence of degradation where pipe insulation is not removed in a manner similar to the ASME Code for safety-related piping and components. The inspections of insulated non-Class 1 pipe and closure joints, performed under the Palisades System Monitoring Program, will be similar to the visual examinations, VT-2, prescribed by the ASME Code for insulated Class 1 piping and pressure retaining bolted connections. ASME Section Xl, Paragraph IWA-5242, Insulated Components, states, (a) For systems borated for the purpose of controlling reactivity, insulation shall be removed from pressure retaining bolted connections for visual examination VT-2. For other components, visual examination VT-2 may be conducted without the removal of insulation by examining the accessible and exposed surfaces and joints of the insulation. Essentially vertical surfaces of insulation need only be examined at the lowest elevation where leakage may be detected. Essentially horizontal surfaces of insulation shall be examined at each insulation joint. (b) When examining insulated components, the examination.of surrounding area (including floor areas or equipment surfaces located underneath the components) for evidence of leakage, or other areas to which such leakage may be channeled, shall be required. (c) Discoloration or residue on surfaces examined shall be given particular attention to detect evidence of boric acid accumulation from borated reactor coolant leakage. 7 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-2(e) For bolted connections, the applicant is requested to clarify how evidence of corrosion and wear will be detected where the threaded surfaces are not normally visible. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-2(e) Although Bolting is not specifically discussed in the LRA description of the System Monitoring Program, bolting is a component that will be inspected during system walkdowns. The intent of the System Monitoring Program is to inspect all accessible external exposed surfaces of various component types (e.g., pump casings, valve bodies, piping, and expansion joints), which would include the bolted connections. As discussed in the response to RAI B2.1.20-2(d), NMC will not remove insulation solely for the inspections performed by the System Monitoring Program. Removal of insulation is not considered necessary to identify likely locations of potential degradation. The condition of the insulation (e.g., discoloration, evidence of wetting, etc.), in itself, provides a good indirect indicator of the conditions beneath. If the insulation condition indicates that a potential problem exists beneath the insulation, this condition would be documented and corrective action, (e.g., isolation, insulation removal, further inspection, repairs) would be initiated. The Palisades system walk downs will look for evidence of degradation where pipe insulation is not removed in a manner similar to the ASME Code for safety-related piping and components. The inspections of insulated non-Class 1 pipe and closure joints, performed under the Palisades System Monitoring Program, will be similar to the visual examinations, VT-2, prescribed by the ASME Code for insulated Class 1 piping and pressure retaining bolted connections. ASME Section Xl, Paragraph IWA-5242, Insulated Components, states, (a) For systems borated for the purpose of controlling reactivity, insulation shall be removed from pressure retaining bolted connections for visual examination VT-2. For other components, visual examination VT-2 may be conducted without the removal of insulation by examining the accessible and exposed surfaces and joints of the insulation. Essentially vertical surfaces of insulation need only be examined at the lowest elevation where leakage may be detected. Essentially horizontal surfaces of insulation shall be examined at each insulation joint. (b) When examining insulated components, the examination of surrounding area (including floor areas or equipment surfaces located underneath the components) for evidence of leakage, or other areas to which such leakage may be channeled, shall be required. (c) Discoloration or residue on surfaces examined shall be given particular attention to detect evidence of boric acid accumulation from borated reactor coolant leakage. Specific management of loss of bolting pre-load is addressed by maintenance alignment and installation procedures. A corrosive environment is precluded through use of proper 8 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 lubricants, proper bolt torquing practices, and the absence of moisture. Should leakage occur, the evidence of the leak would be discovered, investigated and resolved prior to a loss of intended function. Note that Palisades does not manage Loss of Material - Wear, of bolting material with the System Monitoring Program. 9 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730291) dated June 22, 2005 RAI B2.1.20-3 NUREG-1 800 Section A.1.2.3.6 Item 4 states that qualitative inspections should be performed to the same predetermined criteria as quantitative inspections by personnel in accordance with ASME Code and through approved site specific programs. The applicant is requested to identify the inspection criteria such as ASME Code VT-1 examination, or other industry standards and identify the qualifications of personnel performing the inspections. NMC Response to NRC RAI B2.1.20-3 Specific inspection criteria and individual inspector qualifications for the System Monitoring Program will be determined as part of the implementation phase of the license renewal project. NMC will begin working on implementation later in 2005 and plans to complete draft aging management programs and their associated implementing procedures in 2006. 10

ENCLOSURE 2 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730577) Dated June 22, 2005 (3 pages) NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730577) dated June 22, 2005 RAI 4.5-1 In Section 5.8.5.3.1 of the final safety analysis report (FSAR), the applicant provides the final pre-stress (Ff) as 140.6,138, and 143 ksi for the dome, hoop, and the vertical tendons, respectively. The applicant appears to have used these values as the minimum required values (MRVs). As these values are not at the anchorages, these values should not be used as MRVs without modifying them for appropriate friction losses. The applicant is requested to provide the MRVs in terms of force per tendon. NMC Response to NRC RAI 4.5-1 FSAR Section 5.8.5.3.1 provides the initial estimate of the final wire prestress for the containment tendons. The calculated forces in this section of the FSAR do not represent the minimum required values (MRV) for the containment tendons. FSAR Section 5.8.8.3.4 lists the acceptance criteria of the lift-off force per tendon as no less than 584 KIPs per tendon for dome tendons and no less than 615 KIPs per tendon for hoop and vertical tendons 1 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730577) dated June 22, 2005 RAI 4.5-2 In describing the scope of the program related to NUREG-1801 AMP X.S1, in AMP B2.1.7, the applicant states: "The pre-stressing force in the common tendon is measured during each surveillance and is used to establish the trend of pre-stressing loss of the group.' This practice is not consistent with AMP X.S1 and NRC's Information Notice (IN) 99-10, "Degradation of Pre-stressing Tendon Systems in Pre-stressed Concrete Containments." The information notice recommends the use of all available measured pre-stressing forces for developing trend lines for each group of tendons. As Palisades started using random sampling of tendons since 15th year surveillance of tendons (FSAR Section 5.8.8.3.3), the applicant has at least three sets of measured pre-stressing forces for performing regression analyses and developing trend lines. The applicant is requested to provide trend lines for each group of tendons for comparison with the predicted lower limits (PLLs) and the minimum required values (MRVs). The applicant is also requested to provide a tabulation of the measured pre-stressing forces (not individual wire forces) used in the corrected regression analyses. NMC Response to NRC RAI 4.5-2 Regression analysis results are contained within Precision Surveillance Corporation (PSC) report entitled, ` 3 0th Year Physical Tendon Surveillance of Palisades Nuclear Plant, 2002." The discussion is contained in Section Vil, "Comparison with Original Installation Data" (attached to this letter as Enclosure 4). 2 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730577) dated June 22, 2005 RAI 4.5-3 In order for the staff to arrive at the reasonable assurance conclusion regarding the adequacy of the TLAA, at a point and time (i.e. during the LRA review), the applicant is requested to provide a tabulated comparison of the minimum required values (MRVs) for each group of tendons, and the projected pre-stressing forces at 40 and 60 years based on the regression analyses performed, utilizing the procedure recommended in NUREG-1801, AMP X.S1, and in IN 99-10. NMC Response to NRC RAI 4.5-3 Based on the discussion contained in FSAR Chapter 5.8, and specifically 5.8.5.3, "Prestressing System", the Palisades containment tendons are expected to remain above minimum required force levels beyond the 40-year plant life. FSAR 5.8.5.3 states the following conclusion; "At the conclusion of the Twentieth and Twenty-Fifth year tendon surveillances, regression analyses were performed utilizing the surveillance data (References 36, 37, 44, and 45). The results consistently indicated that the effective group tendon forces, dome/hoop/vertical, were significantly higher than predicted values beyond the 40-year time period." This conclusion is also supported by the report extract discussed in the response to RAI 4.5-2, and provided as Enclosure 4 to this letter. By inspection of the graphs provided in this report, when the current trend curves are extrapolated, it is apparent that tendon forces will satisfy their minimum required values, with margin, beyond 60 years. The Palisades Tendon surveillance Program is designed to maintain the Tendon force above minimum analysis requirements on a continuous basis from surveillance to surveillance. This is accomplished during each surveillance by performing tendon force measurements, comparing the results against expected levels for tendon force, and assuring that expected relaxation will remain above minimum requirements beyond the next surveillance. It does not rely solely on the projection of forces out to the end of plant life. Therefore, a formal calculation to extrapolate the regression analysis to 60 years is not currently available. NMC will have an analysis performed to project the expected containment tendon pre-stressing forces out to 60 years, utilizing, to the extent practical with available surveillance data, the procedures recommended in NUREG 1801, Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report, Program X.S1, and Regulatory Guide 1.99, Radiation Embrittlement of Reactor Vessel Materials. The results of the analysis will be submitted to NRC when available. 3

ENCLOSURE 3 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730597) dated June 22, 2005 (2 pages) NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730597) dated June 22, 2005 RAI 4.7.1-1(a) The LRA does not characterize the estimated number of lifts for the Polar Crane. LRA Section A4.5.1 indicates that separate evaluations have been performed of polar crane planned engineering lifts (over-rated capacity) and that lifts have been evaluated and approved up to 140 T, less than 4 percent over the 135 T rating. NUREG-1744, A Survey of Crane Operating Experience at U.S. Nuclear Power Plants from 1968 through 2002, identifies that the maximum load weight for the Palisades reactor building crane was exceeded twice (greater than 125%) when lifting the reactor vessel head with additional lead shielding intact. For the Polar Crane, the applicant is requested to identify the number of lifts considered in the fatigue evaluation and clarify how the over-rated capacity lifts have been considered in combination with the other lifts for the fatigue evaluation. NMC Response to NRC RAI 4.7.1-1 (a) The NUREG-1774 characterization of the Planned Engineered Lift (PEL) for Palisades is incorrect. A review of operating experience indicated no loads, including test loads, that have exceeded 125% of the rated capacity of the crane. The containment polar crane was designed to Electric Overhead Crane Institute specification EOCI-61. EOCI-61 does not address fatigue limits. The subsequent NUREG-0612 heavy loads evaluation of the polar crane was performed to Crane Manufacturers Association of America Specification CMAA-70, "Specification for Electric Overhead Traveling Cranes," 1975 Edition. The Service Classification of the crane under CMAA-70 is Service Level A. The effective crane design life for fatigue, or allowed number of rated lifts, depends on this classification, which assumes 20,000 to 100,000 rated lifts in a design lifetime. Separate evaluations have been performed of polar crane PELs (over the rated capacity). Some lifts have been evaluated and approved up to 140 Tons, which is less than 4 percent over the 135 Ton rating. The evaluations were done to ANSI/ASME Standard B30.2 (1996). Polar crane rated or near-rated lifts are limited to the reactor head and reactor internals; other heavy loads such as the reactor missile shields and primary coolant pump motors are well below the crane rating. The majority of the crane operating cycles involve equipment moves with minimal load compared to the crane capacity. On average, there have been fewer than 10 lifts exceeding approximately 50% of the crane's rated capacity performed in each 12 month period. This value includes a limited number of PELs for lifts slightly in excess of the crane capacity. In the future NMC does not anticipate the need for additional PELs. Even if this historical rate (ten lifts in excess of half crane rated capacity per year) were to continue for the entire 60 years of operation, this would result in a combined total of only 600 lifts of this magnitude. 600 lifts is substantially less than the 20,000 full load cycles that would require fatigue analysis in accordance with CMAA 70. 1 NMC Responses to NRC Requests for Additional Information (ML051730597) dated June 22, 2005 RAI 4.7.1 -1 (b) Industry experience in documents such as NUREG-1744 indicates that crane vibrations have occurred during crane operation. The applicant is requested to review plant-specific operating experience and identify if any crane vibrations have occurred during crane operation and, if so, clarify how vibrations are considered in the fatigue evaluation. If crane vibrations are not considered for license renewal, the applicant is requested to provide the technical justification. NMC Response to NRC RAI 4.7.1-1(b) Review of plant operating experience did not identify any instances of significant vibration noted during the operation of the overhead cranes. Crane vibration would be indicative of abnormal crane operation that would be identified and evaluated separately on a plant-specific basis under the corrective action process in order to determine its significance with respect to the crane. As discussed above, the cranes were designed to operate at rated load; therefore, because of the low frequency of rated load lifts, CMMA 70 does not require a fatigue analysis. 2 Excerpt from Report Entitled, "3 0th Year Physical Tendon Surveillance of Palisades Nuclear Plant 2002" (11 pages) Excerpt from Report Entitled, "30th Year Physical Tendon surveillance of Palisades Nuclear Plant 2002" I I g30TH YEAR TENDON SURVEILLANCE ATTlE NMC T I PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT Committed to NuclercExcolleny 7 VIII. COMPARISON WITH ORIGINAL INSTALLATION DATA A comparison of the liftoff forces from this surveillance to the original installation lock-off forces is made in an effort lo detect any evidence of system degradation. The lock-off forces are compared in l order to detect any abnormal force loss which would possibly indicate an underestimation of the creep. shrinkage and/or elastic shortening effects in the Containment Building. The losses for the tendon groups were found to be 15.76% for the dome tendons, 11.75% for the vertical tendons and 16.27% for the horizontal tendons. Based upon a comparison with the results from other facilities, these losses are less than has been experienced at younger containments and does not indicate any degradation of the system. A regression analysis was conducted on each of the tendon groups and the graphs are shown on the following pages along with the input data for force, test dates and age (time stressed). All three analysis show each group remaining above the minimum requirements well beyond the next surveillance period. Projections to 40 years after installation (38 years of plant life) show a dome projection or 643 kips with l a minimum requirement of 584 kips, vertical value of 666 kips against a minimum requirement of 615 kips and a horizontal projection of 647 kips against a minimum of 615 kips. As a result of the generator change and the retensioning of a large number of vertical tendons these must now be excluded from this l analysis. This results in only two data points each for the Twentieth and Twenty-fifth year surveillances leading to a somewhat erratic forecast profile. With only two points to plot the projection does not have enough points to provide extensive indications of trend at this time. However, a review of losses for the vertical group do not give any indication of group deterioration and there is little doubt that the group will remain above minimum values throughout the next surveillance interval. Dome and horizontal tendons show forecast curves consistant with imput from a larger field of data and will also remain above minimum levels beyond the next surveillance. A review of previous surveillance data indicated that the current common tendons used during this surveillance were in fact detensioned during the first surveillance and new tendons should be selected from a pool of tendons where only liftoffs were performed (fifteenth year surveillance onwards). In addition, earlier surveillances used. the hammer method for evaluating the liftoff point although this should have a minimal effect on the regression analysis due to the reduced weighting of older data.
