MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNITS 2 AND 3 USE OF ALTERNATIVE CLASS 1 PRESSURE TEST REQUIREMENTS REQUESTS RR-89-56 AND IR-2-45 Pursuant to 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i) and 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(ii), Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC) requests approval to use alternatives to the system hydrostatic pressure test requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Code, Section Xl, 1989 Edition, under Examination Category B-P, for segments of Class 1 reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) piping. Requests RR-89-56 and IR-2-45 for Millstone Power Station Units 2 and 3 (MPS2&3), respectively, are included in Enclosure 1 to this letter.

Enclosure 1 requests the use of ASME Code Case N-731, "Alternative Class 1 System Leakage Test Pressure Requirements Section Xl, Division 1," for RCPB Class 1 safety injection system piping segments that are continuously pressurized during an operating cycle. The recent ASME approval and publication of this code case was in the last quarter of 2005. The request for use of Code Case N-731 at MPS2&3 is pursuant to provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) as an alternative that will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Alternative requirements are also proposed to the ASME Code hydrostatic pressure test requirements under IWB-5222 for Class 1 RCPB piping segments, including multiple vents, drains, and branch connections, where compliance with these requirements result in a hardship related to personnel safety, radiation exposure and plant safety without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety per 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(ii). The piping segment reference drawings are included in Attachment 3 to Enclosure 1. To facilitate the review and use of the drawings in Attachment 3, a computer disk with the drawings in text searchable formats is also provided as Enclosure 2.

Performance of the hydrostatic pressure test requirements associated with the end of the inservice inspection interval will be conducted during the MPS3 refueling outage in the spring of 2007 and the MPS2 refueling outage in the spring of 2008. Consequently, the approval of RR-89-56 and IR-2-45, for MPS2 and MPS3 respectively, are requested by April 2007, to support the performance of these requirements.

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class 1 Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 3 of 19 2.0 APPLICABLE CODE EDITION AND ADDENDA The 1989 Edition of ASME Code Section X1, no Addenda (Reference 1), is the current ASME Code used for the Inservice Inspection (ISI) program at Millstone Power Station Units 2 and 3 (MPS2, MPS3).

3.0 APPLICABLE CODE REQUIREMENTS All Class 1 RCPB components including the pipe segments that are described by this request for MPS2 and MPS3 are required to be pressure tested in accordance with Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-P. The pressurb test requirements subject to this alternative request are limited to the system hydrostatic test to be performed per the following:

a. ASME Code Section XI, 1989 Edition

b. Table IWB-2500-1, All Pressure Retaining Components, Examination Category B-P.

c. Item No.: B15.51, Piping, Pressure Retaining Boundary, (IWB-5222)

d. Item No.: B15.71, Valves, Pressure Retaining Boundary, (IWB-5222)

MPS2 is currently in its third 10-year inservice inspection (ISI) interval, which started on April 1, 1999 and is scheduled to end on March 31, 2009. MPS3 is currently in its second 10-year ISI interval, which started on April 23, 1999 and is scheduled to end on October 23, 2008.

For both MPS2 and MPS3, the 1989 Edition of Section XI with no Addenda applies to the ISI program and the 1998 Edition of Section Xl with no Addenda is used as the primary ASME Code Edition for Section Xl Repair/Replacement program activities.

MPS2&3 ISI program requirements currently includes the use of ASME Code Case N-498-4, "Alternative Requirements for 10-Year System' Hydrostatic Testing for Class 1, 2, and 3 Systems Section Xl, Division 1"with the conditions as currently approved in USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.147, Rev.14. This is an NRC acceptable alternative for system hydrostatic pressure test requirements that will not be revised by this request. MPS2&3 will continue to use this Code Case for Class 1, 2, and 3 systems, including the remainder of the Class 1 RCPB components that are not covered under this request.

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class I Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 4 of 19 4.0 REASONS FOR REQUEST Reasons associated with MPS2 Request RR-89-56 are described in the Component Groups 1 through 3 in Section 4.1. Reasons for the Millstone Unit 3 Request IR-2-45 are described in Component Groups 4 through 8 in Section 4.2.

The following is a summary list of names for these groups of piping segments.

Request RR-89-56 (Millstone Unit 2):

Group Piping Segment Summary Name 1 Small bore < 2" NPS piping vents, drains, and branch (VTDB) lines and connections 2 Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) header pipe segments 3 Shutdown Cooling (SDC) return line to the LPSI suction bypass line and SDC return line relief Request IR-2-45 (Millstone Unit 3):

M2-36 SDC Return Line Drain 2-S1-100B to 2-SI-100A 1 2 NOTE: 1. The segment boundaries are described in terms of valve-to-valve.

Each of these VTDB lines and connections are equipped with manual valves, which provide double isolation of the RCPB. These valves are generally maintained closed during normal operation. The piping outboard of the first isolation valve is not normally pressurized. Under normal operating conditions, these VTDB lines and connections, except for the low pressure safety injection (LPSI) VTDB lines and connections are subject to reactor coolant system (RCS) pressures and temperatures only if leakage through the inboard valves occurs. For the LPSI VTDB lines and connections, leakage at inboard valves will only result in pressures associated with the pressure of the safety injection tanks.

Because these VTDB lines and connections typically do not have test connections that would allow them to be individually hydrostatically tested without design modifications, it will be necessary to open the inboard valves to pressurize these VTDB lines and connections to perform the test required by the ASME Code. Pressurization by this method defeats the double isolation feature and potentially presents significant personnel safety concerns for the personnel performing the test on the valves that are at normal RCS pressure and temperature.

Performing this test with the inboard isolation valves open requires several man-hours to position or cycle these valves for the test and restore the valves after the test is complete. Most of these valves are located in close proximity to the RCS loop piping and thus require personnel entry into high radiation areas within the containment. Based on previous outage data, estimated radiation exposure associated with valve alignment and realignment would result in an additional 0.4 man-Rem. Since this test would be performed near the end of an outage when all RCPB work has been completed, the time required opening and closing the valves on these VTDB lines and connections could impact the outage schedule.

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class 1 Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 7 of 19 Group 2: Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) header pipe segments:

The Group 2 piping segments (27,29, 31 and 33) for Millstone Unit 2 are shown in Table 2. Additional details are in Attachment 1, Table 2.

Table 2: Affected Piping Segments of Group 2 (1)Dia. Length Seg. Description Segment Boundary (inches) (Ft) 2-SI-706A to 2-SI-215, 12 40 M2-27 Loop 1A LPSI Header 2-SI-217, 2-SI- 618, and 6 169 2-SI-024B 1 76 1 <1 2-SI-706B to 2-SI-225, 12 45 M2-29 Loop 1B LPSI Header 2-SI-227, 2-SI-628, and 6 136 2-SI-01 3B 1 70 1 <1 2-SI-706C to 2-SI-235, 12 41 M2-31 Loop 2A LPSI Header 2-SI-237, 2-SI-638, and 6 24 2-SI-713B 1 60 1 <1 2-SI-706D to 2-SI-245, 12 49 M2-33 Loop 2B LPSI Header 2-SI-247, 2-SI-648, and 6 41 2-SI-712B 1 62 1 <1 NOTE: 1. The segment boundaries are described in terms of valve-to-valve.

The pipe segments of Group 2 are part of the LPSI system at Millstone Unit 2 and are continuously pressurized because they are in the injection flow path from the safety injection tanks.

In order to meet the ASME Code test requirements to perform the system hydrostatic test on these pipe segments, it would be necessary to connect jumpers circumventing the inboard check valve boundaries from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS). This is a significant personnel safety hazard that also results in unnecessary personnel radiation exposure.

Group 3: Shutdown Cooling (SDC) return line to the LPSI suction bypass line and SDC return line relief:

The component Group 3 piping segment (35) is shown in Table 3.

Additional details are in Attachment 1, Table 3.

Segment 35 is part of shutdown cooling (SDC). It cannot be pressurized to full RCPB pressure because of the pressure interlock and alarm that is associated with the SDC isolation valve 2-SI-652. Opening this valve is prevented when the RCS pressure exceeds 300 psig.

4.2 Request IR-2-45, Component Groups 4 through 8: (Millstone Unit 3)

Reasons for this alternative request (IR-2-45) are in the balance of this section.

Five separate groups (4 through 8) for Millstone Unit 3 apply to this request.

Group 4: Small bore_< 2" NPS piping vents, drains, and branch (VTDB) lines and connections in the Reactor Coolant and Reactor Head Vent systems:

The component Group 4 piping segments 1-29 are shown in Table 4.

Group 5: Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) header pipe segments:

The component Group 5 piping segments (30 through 33) are shown in Table 5. Additional details are in Attachment 1, Table 5.

Segment boundary is described in terms of valve-to-valve.

The pipe segments of Group 6 are in high pressure and low pressure Safety Injection (HPSI, LPSI) systems, in portions of piping between check valves that are not normally pressurized during plant operation.

In order to pressurize these segments to meet the ASME Code test requirements it would be necessary to connect jumpers circumventing the inboard check valve boundaries from the RCS. This is a significant personnel safety hazard and results in an estimated additional 0.375 man-Rem of unnecessary personnel radiation exposure.

Group 7: Residual Heat Removal (RHS) Suction:

The component Group 7 piping segments (39, 40) are shown in Table 7.

Additional details are in Attachment 1, Table 7.

The pipe segments 39 and 40 are part of the RHS system, which is not pressurized during normal plant operation. In order to pressurize this segment to meet the ASME Code requirements to perform the system hydrostatic test it would be necessary to open the isolation valves 3RHS*8701C ("A" train) and 3RHS*8702C ("B" train). These isolation

Alternatively, temporary high pressure hoses with a hydrostatic pump would need to be installed to pressurize these segments during a refuel outage, which would introduce a significant personnel safety hazard if the connection or hose fails in the presence of inspection personnel.

Group 8: Auxiliary Pressurizer Spray:

The component Group 8 piping segment (41) is described in Table 7 and additional details are in Attachment 1, Table 8.

Table 8: Affected Piping Segment of Group 8 Seg. Description Segment Boundary(1) Dia. Length (inches) (Ft) 2 230 M3-41 Auxilary Pressurizer Spray 3RCS*V175 (AV8145) to 3RCS*V174 NOTE: 1. Segment boundary is described in terms of valve-to-valve.

Segment 41 is part of the Millstone Unit 3 auxiliary pressurizer spray line, which is not normally pressurized. In order to pressurize this segment to meet the ASME Code test requirements to perform the system hydrostatic test it would be necessary to open the normally closed upstream isolation valve 3RCS*MV8145. Water in this line is supplied from the charging system with an operating pressure greater than the RCS normal operating pressure. Opening this valve would allow water in the auxiliary pressurizer spray line, which is at containment ambient temperature, to pass through a check valve into the main spray header and through the spray nozzle into the pressurizer.

With the RCS at normal operating temperature, this test would create a thermal shock transient to the spray nozzle, which has been evaluated to be in excess of 320 degrees F. The pressurizer stress report for Millstone Unit 3 has evaluated spray nozzle shock as a design basis transient, but based on the temperature severity, this test would result in the most severe case of which only 10 cycles were considered in the stress analysis.

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class 1 Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 14 of 19 5.0 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES AND BASIS FOR USE The alternatives and basis for the MPS2 and MPS3 requests RR-89-56 and IR-2-45 are organized by component group discussions in the balance of this section. The provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) permit requests for alternatives in some of these component groups because the request provides for an acceptable level of quality and safety. For other component groups, the provisions of 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(ii) permit alternative requests when the specified requirements result in a hardship without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. The following list summarizes application of these provisions in the MPS2&3 requests, RR-89-56 and IR-2-45. Refer to Tables 1 through 8 of both Section 4.0 of Enclosure 1 and Attachment 1 for additional details regarding piping segment component groups and requested alternatives.

RR-89-56 IR-2-45 10 CFR 50.55a Section Groups Groups Provision 1 4 (a)(3)(ii) 5.1 2 5 (a)(3)(i) 5.2 3 - (a)(3)(ii) 5.3 6 (a)(3)(ii) 5.4 7 (a)(3)(ii) 5.5 8 (a)(3)(ii) 5.6 5.1 Alternative and Basis for Component Groups 1 and 4 Millstone Unit 2 Group 1 segments (1-26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36) and Millstone Unit 3 Group 4 segments 1-29 are VTDB lines and connections that are equipped with manual valves, which provide double isolation of the RCPB.

As an alternative to the ASME Code system hydrostatic test requirements for these RCPB pipe segments, this request proposes to perform an ASME Code Section Xl, Table IWB-2500-1 and IWB-5221 system leakage test with the isolation valves in the normally closed position. This examination will be performed at the nominal operating pressure associated with 100% reactor power after satisfying the ASME Code required hold time.

Basis for approval of this alternative includes the following information:

a. The ASME Code requirements for ISI system hydrostatic tests have been removed from Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-P, in the 1998 Edition, and this Edition of the Code has been endorsed for use in 10 CFR 50.55a for several years.

b. The non-isolable portion of the RCPB VTDB lines and connections will be pressurized and will be visually examined as required. Only the isolable

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class 1 Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 15 of 19 portion of these small diameter VTDB lines and connections will not be pressurized, but a VT-2 examination will still be performed in these cases.

c. A typical VTDB line and connection includes two manual valves or one manual valve, separated by a short piece of pipe or a pipe nipple, which is connected to the RCPB via another short pipe nipple. These connections are typically socket welded and the welds receive a surface examination after installation. The piping and valves are normally heavy walled. The VTDB lines and connections are not subject to high or cyclic loads and design ratings are greater than RCPB operating pressure.

d. MPS2&3 use the ASME Code Section Xl, 1998 Edition with no Addenda (Reference 2) for itsSection XI Repair/Replacement program activities, but the requirements of this 1998 Edition under IWA-4540 are very similar to the requirements of the 1989 Edition under IWA-4700. Both IWA-4540 and IWA-4700 provide the requirements for hydrostatic pressure testing of piping and components after repairs by welding to the pressure boundary. IWA-4540(b)(5) of the 1998 Edition and IWA-4700(b)(5) are identical and exclude component connections, piping, and associated valves 1" NPS and smaller from the hydrostatic pressure test requirement after welded repairs.

Therefore, requiring a hydrostatic test and visual examination of the 1" NPS and smaller of Group 1 and Group 4 Class 1 RCPB VTDB lines and connections once each 10-year interval is unwarranted, considering that hydrostatic pressure testing a repair weld on the same connections is not required by the ASME Code, Section Xl.

Considering this information and the implications for personnel safety and radiation exposure that would occur as a result of meeting the ASME Code Section XI, 1989 Edition, (Reference 1) hydrostatic test requirements, DNC has determined that compliance with the hydrostatic test requirements for Groups 1 and 4 RCPB VTDB lines and connections results in an unnecessary hardship without a sufficient compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. Therefore, DNC requests approval of this alternative pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii).

5.2 Alternative and Basis for Component Groups 2 and 5 Millstone Unit 2 Group 2 piping segments (27, 29, 31 and 33) and Millstone Unit 3 Group 5 segments (30 through 33) are part of the LPSI system and are continuously pressurized and monitored for loss of pressure because they are in the open injection flow path from the safety injection tanks. As an alternative to the hydrostatic test requirements for these RCPB pipe segments DNC proposes to use a reduced pressure test that will meet ASME Code Case N-731, "Alternative Class 1 System Leakage Test Pressure Requirements Section Xl, Division 1, (Refer to Attachment 2).

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class 1 Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 16 of 19 The basis for approval of this alternative includes the following information.

The ASME approved Code Case N-731 on February 22, 2005, because it believed that detection of leakage from a through-weld or through-wall flaw is affected by pressure, temperature, and time, with time being the controlling factor. Since the requirements of Code Case N-731 limit its application to safety injection systems that must be under pressure for an entire operating cycle there appears to be no reason to have the pressure elevated to full RCPB pressure to prove leakage integrity for this piping.

Because this alternative for Groups 2 and 5 is specific to the LPSI piping at MPS2&3 that is continuously under pressure for the entire operating cycle, continually monitored for loss of pressure, and is included in the scope of the ASME approved Code Case N-731, DNC has determined that use of this alternative provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. Therefore, DNC requests approval to use of Code Case N-71 pursuant to 10CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i).

5.3 Alternative and Basis for Component Group 3 The Millstone Unit 2 Class 1 RCPB pipe segment 35 in Group 3 is part of the shutdown cooling (SDC) system and is prevented from exceeding 280 psig by a pressure interlock on valve 2-SI-652. Additional protection is provided by a relief valve with a set point of 300 psig within the piping segment. The alternative to the IWB-5222 pressure is to examine this pipe segment at its normal operating pressure.

The basis for approval of this alternative is included in the following information.

The pressure interlock on valve 2-SI-652 and relief valve located within this pipe segment protect the SDC system from being over-pressurized by the RCS. To attempt to pressurize this segment to RCS pressure would require defeating the SDC system over-pressure protection, potentially endangering the plant.

Considering this information, the hydrostatic test requirements for Group 3 piping segment 35 results in an unnecessary hardship without a sufficient compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. Therefore, DNC requests approval of this alternative pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii).

5.4 Alternative and Basis for Component Group 6 The Group 6 piping segments 34-38 of Millstone Unit 3 are part of the safety injection system that are located between check valves that isolate these segments from RCS pressure. As an alternative to the hydrostatic test pressure requirements of IWB-5222 for these RCPB pipe segments, DNC proposes to perform this test using a reduced test pressure during the full flow check valve tests of these segments, during the refuel outage with the RCS depressurized.

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class 1 Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 17 of 19 The basis for approval of this alternative is included in the following information.

In order to pressurize these segments to meet the ASME Code hydrostatic test requirements it would be necessary to connect jumpers circumventing the inboard check valve boundaries from the RCS. This is a significant personnel safety hazard and will result in unnecessary personnel radiation exposure.

DNC has determined that compliance with these requirements for Group 6 RCPB pipe segments results in unnecessary hardship without sufficient compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. Therefore, DNC requests approval of this alternative pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii).

5.5 Alternative and Basis for Component Group 7 The Group 7 piping segments 39 and 40 for Millstone Unit 3 are in the RHS system and are not pressurized during normal plant operation. As an alternative to the hydrostatic test requirements for these RCPB pipe segments DNC proposes to perform this test using a reduced test pressure prior to the valves being closed, isolating these segments in the normal preparation for mode change during startup.

The basis for approval of this alternative is included in the following information.

a. In order to pressurize this segment to meet the ASME Code requirements to perform the system hydrostatic test it would be necessary to open the isolation valves 3RHS*8701 C ("A" train) and 3RHS*8702C ("B" train). These isolation valves are required to be closed when the plant is in Modes 1, 2, and 3 as described in the Millstone Unit 3 UFSAR Section 5.4.7.1 and plant operational procedures.

b. Alternatively, to install temporary high pressure hoses with a hydrostatic pump to pressurize these segments during the refuel outage would add additional personnel exposure and introduce a significant personnel safety hazard if the connection or hose fails in the presence of inspection personnel.

Considering this information, DNC has determined that compliance with the hydrostatic test requirements for Group 7 RCPB pipe segments results in unnecessary hardship without sufficient compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. Therefore, DNC requests approval of this alternative pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii).

Serial No.06-305 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Alternative Class 1 Pressure Tests Enclosure 1 Page 18 of 19 5.6 Alternative and Basis for Component Group 8 The RCPB pipe segment 41 at Millstone Unit 3 is part of the auxiliary pressurizer spray line, which is not normally pressurized. This request proposes to perform an ASME Code Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1 and IWB-5221 system leakage test with the isolation valve 3RCS*MV8145 in the normally closed position as an alternative to the hydrostatic test requirements for this piping segment. This examination will be performed at nominal operating pressure associated with 100%

reactor power after satisfying the ASME Code required hold time.

The basis for approval of this alternative is included in the following information.

In order to pressurize this segment to meet the ASME Code requirements to perform the system hydrostatic test it would be necessary to open the normally closed upstream isolation valve 3RCS*MV8145. Opening this valve would allow water in the auxiliary pressurizer spray line, which is at containment ambient temperature, to pass through a check valve into the main spray header and through the spray nozzle into the pressurizer. With the RCS at normal operating temperature this would create a thermal shock transient to the spray nozzle.

DNC has determined that compliance with the hydrostatic test requirements for the Group 8 piping segment for Millstone Unit 3 results in an unnecessary hardship and adverse impact to plant equipment without a sufficient compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. Therefore, DNC requests approval of this alternative pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii).

6.0 DURATION OF PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES Alternatives for the Millstone Unit 2 piping segments in request RR-89-56 are intended for the remainder of the current third 10-year ISI interval that started on April 1, 1999 and is scheduled to end on March 31, 2009.

Alternatives for the Millstone Unit 3 piping segments in request IR-2-45 are intended for the remainder of the current second 10-year ISI interval that started on April 23, 1999 and is scheduled to end on October 23, 2008.

7.0 PRECEDENTS With the exception of the use of ASME Code Case N-731, similar alternatives to the hydrostatic test requirements of the ASME Code Section XI, 1989 Edition, IWB-5222 have been approved for Indian Point Units 2 and 3 and for the 1998 Edition with the 2000 Addenda for the 10-year ISI interval leakage test pressure per IWB-5220 for Surry Units 1 and 2. The differences in the Code requirements taken to establish the basis for the approval of these requests result in the same approved objective of not having to pressure test portions of the Class 1 RCPB to
