Summary
- RI-ISI methodologies.
Some applications approved with no changes required Some applications approved after significant changes requested by the NRC Some applications are experiencing difficulty in gaining USNRC approval (e.g. numerous RAIs, re-analysis, changes to program, etc.)
- Current program maintenance Burden associated with program updates
- Updates challenge program stability ELETRI 2tPOWER

1 N-716 / RIS_B GOAL: Develop a consistent and streamlined process for developing, implementing, and maintaining a RI-ISI program ASME Whitepaper 2002-02-01
- Reviewed over fifty plant-specific RI-ISI applications,
- Thirty, of which, were Class 1 & 2 or full scope applications
° Reviewed a number of industry and USNRC risk assessments Delta risk assessment conducted for eight plants
" Included both BWRs and PWRs,
- Included plants that used the N-577/N-578 RI-ISI methods
- N-716 typically increases the number of examinations compared to other RI-ISI methodologies
- Does not credit the positive impact of N-716 Section 2(a)(5)
N-716 (RISB) provides a risk reduction or at worst, risk neutrality

N-716 / RIS_B Lessons Learned - Pilot plants Application of approved RI-BER process results in inspection populations less than required by N-716.
Application of approved RI-ISI for the RCPB results in inspection populations less than required by N-716.
2(a)(5) Requirement:
- Plant 1 - internal flooding study did not identify piping > 1 E-06
" Plant 2 - procedural/ hardware changes reduced CDF to < 1 E-06
- Plant 3 - updated analysis to remove excessive conservatism to reduce CDF contribution to < 1 E-06

" Deterministic approaches
" Qualitative risk approaches
- Quantitative risk approaches (WCAP-14572, EPRI TR-1 12657, EPRI TR-1006937, N-663)
Uses generic insights to:
- Assure defense in depth is maintained (i.e. high consequence sites, minimum inspection population)
- Improve efficiencies for implementation and maintenance Uses plant-specific insights to:
- Assure important plant specific inspections are conducted
" Maintain or improve pressure boundary reliability (e.g. degradation mechanisms)
