SUMMARY

OF MARCH 23, 2006, MEETING TO DISCUSS USE OF FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER On March 23, 2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) met with Duke (the licensee) to discuss the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) at Oconee. Enclosure 1 is a list of the attendees. Enclosure 2 is the slides presented by the licensee during the meeting.

The licensee is planning to submit a license amendment request (LAR) by June 2006 to use FRP at Oconee, which would be the first application of FRP at a U. S. nuclear power plant. The LAR will propose the use of FRP for the Unit 3 control room north wall to protect against tornado-induced differential pressure, and for the Standby Shutdown Facility systems located within the west penetration and cask decontamination tank rooms to protect against tornado-induced differential pressure and possibly protect against tornado-induced winds. The licensee is requesting that the amendments be issued by December 2006.

The NRC staff stated that the application of FRP technology to masonry wall structures is relatively new and its acceptance criteria have not been completely established by the American Concrete Institute code committees. Therefore, in addition to complying with all pertinent standards related to the FRP, the licensee should demonstrate by testing or other means that the FRP will adhere to the wall and should demonstrate, by a surveillance program, that it will remain functioning throughout the life of the plant. The NRC staff asked the licensee if it could provide test data from FRP applications in masonry walls similar to those at Oconee.
