8 Verify in-plant aspects of scoping, material condition, aging management program development, and documentation that supports the license renewal application.
- Performed by Region I
- Six inspectors for two weeks, in June-July, 2008 Inspection Objective
9 Inspection Activities
- Walk downs of plant systems & structures
- Review of Aging Management Programs
- Review of procedures and records
- Review of BVs operational experience reviews
10 Inspection Methods Inspectors Reviewed
- Effects of non-safety structures & components on safety related equipment
- Aging Management Programs (AMPs)
- Implementation checks for existing programs
- Feasibility of Implementation for new or modified programs
- Documentation is auditable, retrievable, & supports the application
11
- 19 of 42 Proposed AMPs (~45%)
- Scoping & Screening of Non-Safety Systems
- Operating Experience Review
- Conformance to NEI 95-10
- Two Focused System Reviews
- Security Diesel
- BV-1 Dedicated Auxiliary Feedwater Inspection Review Scope
12 Inspection Results
- Supports a conclusion there is Reasonable Assurance that aging effects will be adequately managed
- Scoping of non-safety systems was acceptable
- Documentation supporting the application was auditable & retrievable
13 Application Revisions
- Selective Leaching
- Operating experience showed a history of buried fire water pipe leaching damage
- Added plant specific program to monitor
- One Time Inspections
- Sample selection criteria unclear
- Enhanced to add a representative sample size
14 Application Revisions
- Inaccessible Medium Voltage Cables
- Operating experience showed a history of flooded manholes
- Added a plant specific program for cable testing
- Fuel Oil Chemistry
- No testing of wall thickness for fuel oil tanks
- Enhanced to add appropriate testing
15 Application Revisions
- Open Cycle Cooling (River & Service Water)
- No internal inspection of buried pipe
- Enhanced to add opportunistic inspections
- Added an Exception to not flush some stagnate lines (to spent fuel pool & aux feedwater)
- External Surfaces Monitoring
- Enhanced to clarify areas not readily accessible will be periodically monitored
16 Application Revisions
- Structural Monitoring
- Enhanced existing program to provide administrative controls needed for an AMP
- Enhanced existing program to add established acceptance criteria
- Masonry Wall Program
- Enhanced existing program to provide administrative controls needed for an AMP
17 Other Observations
- Identified two instances of missed plant specific operational experience
- Selective leaching damage of fire water piping
- Inaccessible cables in flooded manholes
- In response, you performed an apparent cause evaluation an extend of condition review
- No other gaps were identified
18 Other Observations
- In addition, based on inspection observations, you made several less significant aging management program changes, which may not have required an application revision.
