Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook NuclearPlant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval 1.2 Basis of the ISI Program Plan 1.2.1 The ISI Program Plan was developed according to the requirements of 10CFR50.55a in effect on 03/01/09. The latest issuance of 10CFR50.55a on this date was the revision published in the Federal Register effective 10/10/08.
1.2.2 The ISI Program Plan was developed in accordance with the requirements of the 2004 Edition, No Addenda of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code,Section XI, Subsections IWA, IWB, IWC, IWD, IWE, IWF, and IWL for Inspection Program B. The 2004 Edition, No Addenda of ASME Section XI will not be implemented for the following:
1.2.2.1 For ultrasonic examination qualification requirements of Section XI, Appendix VIII, the 2001 Edition, No Addenda shall be used per 10CFR50.55a(b)(2)(xxiv).
1.2.2.2 For piping weld examination requirements, RI-ISI (Code Case N-716) will be implemented per Relief Request ISIR-4-01 for component selection, examination techniques, successive examinations, and additional examinations.
1.2.3 The snubber inservice testing and visual examination requirements of Article IWF-5000.
1.2.3.1 ASME Section XI Paragraphs IWF-5200(a) and (b) and IWF-5300(a) and (b) require VT-3 Visual Examination and Inservice Tests of snubbers to be performed in accordance with the Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants Standard (ASME OM Code). As allowed by 10CFR50.55a(b)(3)(v), DCC will use Subsection ISTD; "Inservice Testing of Dynamic Restraints (Snubbers) In Light Water Reactor Power Plants,"
ASME OM Code, 2004 Edition, No Addenda, to meet the requirements in ASME Section XI Paragraphs IWF-5200(a) and (b) and IWF-5300(a) and (b). Per 10CFR50.55a(b)(3)(v), visual examinations shall be performed using the VT-3 visual examination method described in Paragraph IWA-2213.
The extent, frequency, and acceptance standards for snubber assembly functional testing and visual inspection are according to ASME OM Code, 2004 Edition, No Addenda.
1.2.4 The following are not included or addressed in the ISI Program Plan:
1.2.4.1 The inspection of containment structures and liners per Subsections IWE and IWL.
Alion Science & Technology 3 DCCO1. G03 Revision 0
Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval The rules of Subsections IWE and IWL, as invoked by 10CFR50.55a, are contained in the Containment ISI Program Plan (DCC01.G04). Note that the CISI Plan is for the Second Ten-Year Containment Inspection Interval.
1.2.4.2 The Steam Generator tubing requirements of Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-Q.
As allowed by ASME Section XI, Paragraph IWB-2413, the extent, frequency and acceptance standards for Steam Generator tubing inspection and testing is according to CNP Technical Specifications Section 5.5.7.
1.2.5 Alternative requirements to ASME Section XI are detailed in Section 4.0 of this ISI Program Plan.
1.2.6 With the exception of examinations that may be deferred to the end of the inspection interval as allowed by Table IWB-2500-1, inservice inspections shall be performed according to the requirements for Inspection Program B as outlined in Paragraphs IWA-2432, IWB-2412, IWC-2412, IWD-2412, and IWF-2410 of ASME Section XI. Deviations to inspection schedules may occur provided compliance with all applicable ASME Section XI requirements is maintained.
1.2.7 Successive inspections shall be according to Paragraphs IWB-2420, IWC-2420, IWD-2420, and IWF-2420.
1.2.8 The construction permits for CNP Units 1 and 2 were issued on March 25, 1969.
Unit 1 began commercial operation on August 23, 1975, and Unit 2 began commercial operation on July 1, 1978.
1.2.9 On December 18, 1984, the NRC approved a request by CNP to align the interval start and end dates for Units 1 and 2.
1.2.10 The previous Third ISI Interval for CNP Units 1 and 2 started on July 1, 1996 and was originally scheduled to end on June 30, 2006. However, the inspection interval end date was revised in accordance with ASME Section XI, Paragraphs IWA-2430(d) and IWA-2430(e) to a new end date of February 28, 2010.
The inspection interval was extended in accordance with the provisions of IWA-2430(e), to reflect the extended shutdown from September 1997 through December 2000 for Unit 1 and September 1997 through June 2000 for Unit 2.
Paragraph IWA-2430(e) allows the extension of an inspection interval in which an extended shutdown greater than 6 months occurs.
The provision of IWA-2430(d), which allows for as much as a one year extension in an interval, was also utilized. The inspection interval was extended an additional 5 months for Unit 1 and 11 months for Unit 2 to coincide with planned outages. The paragraph IWA-2430(d) provision may not be used in successive intervals such that the cumulative extension taken under IWA-2430(d) exceeds Alion Science & Technology 4 DCCO1.G03 Revision 0
Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, FourthInterval one year unless the original schedule is restored by reducing the duration of a period/interval by an equivalent amount.
As of 2008, the total extension for the Third ISI Interval for Units 1 and 2 was 44 months. This established the end date of the Third ISI Interval as February 28, 2010 and the start of the Fourth ISI Interval as March 1, 2010.
Subsequent to this date, Unit 1 began another unplanned extended shutdown in September 2008 and was still shutdown as of October 30, 2009 (the date this ISI Program Plan was approved). To enable the completion of the Unit 1 Third ISI Interval examinations, paragraph IWA-2430(e) was again utilized to extend the end date of the Third Interval (for Unit 1 only) from February 28, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Any relief requests approved for the Third Interval are valid for the entire interval including the extended period. This modification of the Unit 1 Third Interval end date did not change the start date of the Unit 1 Fourth Interval,
'thus creating an overlap of the intervals. Examinations can be performed for either interval during the period of overlap, provided that no single examination may be credited towards both intervals.
1.2.11 The Fourth ISI Interval for CNP Units 1 and 2 starts on March 1, 2010 and is scheduled to end on February 29, 2020. Based on previous extensions taken, the IWA-2430(d) provision is available for the Fourth ISI Interval up to 7 months for Unit 1 and 1 month for Unit 2. The Fourth ISI Interval schedule is shown in Table 1-1:

Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook NuclearPlant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval 1.3 System Classifications 1.3.1 The plant was designed and constructed by the American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEPSC) which performed the function of Architect-Engineer and Constructor for Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M). Westinghouse Electric Corporation designed and supplied the Nuclear Steam Supply Systems including the initial fuel assemblies for both Units 1 and 2 of CNP.
The construction permits for CNP Units 1 and 2 were issued on March 25, 1969.
At that time, ASME Section III only contained requirements for nuclear vessels.
Therefore, piping, pumps, and valves were designed and installed according to the rules of USAS B31.1-1967 Edition (Power Piping). During this time, USAS B31.7, "Nuclear Power Piping" was issued for trial use. The State of Michigan took the position that CNP should be designed and fabricated to USAS B31.7.
Westinghouse and AEPSC elected not to use USAS B31.7 because the requirements contained in the design analysis chapter differed significantly from previous piping analysis practice.
Agreement was reached between the State of Michigan Department of Labor, Westinghouse and AEPSC that the piping would be designed and built to USAS B3 1.1.0 requirements, with the additional quality controls imposed by Westinghouse and AEPSC which met or exceeded those of USAS B31.7.
1.3.2 CNP was designed and constructed to meet the intent of the Proposed General Design Criteria (PGDCs), published July 11, 1967. The Final Safety Analysis Report had been filed with the Commission when revisions of the General Design Criteria were published in February 1971 and July 7, 1971. In 1973, the AEC.
reviewed the plant design against the most recent General Design Criteria and concluded that the design meets those criteria. The application of the AEC proposed General Design Criteria to CNP was discussed in the original FSAR Appendix H. Appendix H was removed from the FSAR when the UFSAR was developed. GDCs found in the current 10CFR50 Appendix A differ both in numbering and content from the PGDCs adopted for CNP and these should not be interchanged.
1.3.3 System classes for the ISI program were originally based on the requirements of 10CFR50.2, 10CFR50.55a, Regulatory Guide 1.26, and ANSI N18.2-1973.
Components within the reactor coolant pressure boundary, as defined in 10CFR50.2 are designated ISI Class 1. Other safety related components are designated iSI Class 2 or 3 in accordance with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.26, Revision 3. Per paragraph A and B of Regulatory Guide 1.26, this classification system applies to those safety related components that do not meet the guidelines of Quality Group A (Class 1). These classifications were developed for the purpose of assigning the appropriate ISI Classification requirements for water, steam, and radioactive waste containing components that were constructed to codes other than ASME Section III.
Alion Science & Technology 7 DCCO1. G03 Revision 0
Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, FourthInterval 1.3.4 AEPSC developed a unique classification for piping, components, and structures based on the seismic qualification requirement. Generally, Seismic Class I was used for safety-related items, but there are exceptions. Additionally, Quality Levels were assigned where Level 5 represented the highest level of quality and Quality Level 1 the least. ASME also developed a classification that established the highest class as Quality Group A. Table 1-2, identifies the equivalent CNP ISI Class for the different classification designations.

Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, FourthInterval 1.31.5 According to 10CFR50.55a(g)(4), the specific components required to be included in an ISI Program per ASME Section XI are those components and supports which are classified as ISI Class 1, 2, and 3. 10CFR50.55a(a)(3) allows alternatives to paragraphs (b) and (g) when authorized by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
The NRC may also require a licensee to follow an Augmented Inservice Inspection Program for systems and components for which they deem an added assurance of structural reliability is necessary, per 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(ii).
1.3.6 ASME Section XI boundaries for ISI Class 1 systems are typically established per 10CFR50.2. This document defines the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary to include:
- the outermost containment isolation valve in system piping which penetrates the primary reactor containment, and the second of two valves normally closed during normal reactor operation in system piping which does not penetrate primary reactor containment, and the reactor coolant system safety and relief valves Exception may be taken to these boundary criteria for ISI Class 1 components per 10CFR50.55a(c)(2), provided:
o In the event of postulated failure of the component during normal reactor operation, the reactor can be shut down and cooled down in an orderly manner assuming makeup is provided by the reactor coolant makeup system or, o The component is or can be isolated from the reactor coolant system by two valves in series (both closed, both open, or one closed and the other open).
Each open valve must be capable of automatic actuation and, assuming the other valve is open, its closure time must be such that, in the event of postulated failure of the component during normal reactor operation, each valve remains operable and the reactor can be shut down and cooled down in an orderly manner, assuming makeup is provided by the reactor coolant makeup system only.
1.3.7 ASME Section XI boundaries for ISI Class 2 and 3 systems are typically established per Regulatory Guide 1.26, footnote 4, which stipulates that boundaries include those portions of the system required to accomplish the specified safety function and the connecting piping up to and including the first valve that is either normally closed or capable of automatic closure when the safety function is required. In the event that a system performs more than one function, each of which is a different class, the higher class applies to those components require to perform the higher safety function.

Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units I & 2, Fburth Interval 1.3.8 When a valve is the interface between ISI Class systems or non-classed systems, the valve seat shall be considered the extent of the higher-class boundary; thus the valve body and joint (welded, threaded, bolted, etc.) on the lower-classed side are not subject to the ISI requirements applicable to the higher-classed portion.
1.3.9 Items subject to ISI are shown on the Operational Flow Diagrams listed in Section 2.2 of this ISI Program Plan. Flags and arrows are used to identify the extent and direction of the boundary class. The flags are typically placed at the outermost component (such as the outlet flange of a valve), but 1.3.8 above applies regardless of flag location unless otherwise noted within this document.
1.3.10 Items classified as exempt from examination are defined by ASME Section XI Paragraphs IWB-1220, IWC-1220, IWD-1220, and IWF-1230.
1.3.11 Per ASME Section XI, Paragraph IWB- 1220(a), piping may be exempted from volumetric and surface examinations of ASME Section XI provided it is connected to the reactor coolant pressure boundary and of such a size and shape that upon a postulated failure, the resulting flow of reactor coolant, under normal operating conditions, is within the make-up capability of the plant. As documented in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, orifices (1/4" reactor head vent path, 3/8" pressurizer steam space vent path) are installed upstream of the solenoid operated isolation valves to limit the maximum postulated flow in the case of a pipe break down stream of the orifices to less than the capacity of one centrifugal charging pump. This size is already exempted per the NPS 1 and smaller line exemption of Paragraph IWB-1220(b).
1.3.12 An RI-ISI Program is implemented for nonexempt ISI Class 1 and 2 piping.
Safety significance and component categorization are per Code Case N-716 as detailed in the Risk Informed ISI Program Analysis (DCC01.G06).

[Reference UFSAR Section 14.4.2.2.2 and NRC Safety Evaluation Report N2000143, "Issuance of Amendments 249 and 230 (TAC NOS. MA8893 and MA8894)]. These welds may require additional examinations to meet the intent of the Standard Review Plan NUREG 0800, Branch Technical Position EMEB Section B. 1.b. Additional inspection requirements (if required) will be specified prior to the end of the current inspection interval. This is being tracked via Condition Report 00-03971.

Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval The Code Case N-729-1 augmented inservice inspection program was to be implemented by December 31, 2008, and at such time, the NRC Order EA-03-009 no longer applied. For details and implementation requirements, see 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D)(1) through (6). This program is applicable to the Fourth Inspection interval.
Under the Code Case N-722 augmented program, inspections to be conducted every refueling outage and inspections conducted every other refueling outage, the initial inspections were to be performed at the next refueling outage after January 1, 2009. For inspections to be conducted once per interval, the inspections were to begin in the interval in effect on January 1, 2009, and prorated over the remaining periods and refueling outages in this interval. For details and implementation requirements, see 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(E)(1) through (4). This program is applicable to the Fourth Inspection interval.
1.4.6 Certain portions of Main Steam and Feedwater piping outside containment are designated L-31X on OP Flow Diagrams. This indicates that these portions of the system are inspected to the requirements of ISI Class 2. However, the repair/replacement rules of ASME Section XI do not apply. This is intended to satisfy the augmented requirements imposed by the Michigan Department of Labor, Michigan Boiler Act.
1.4.7 Inservice Inspection - ASME Section XI, Augmented Inspection:
Commitment 8251 tracks the Augmented ASME Section XI inspection requirements for portions of the containment spray system, specifically the spray additive tanks (SATs) and the associated portions of the containment spray system that are wetted by sodium hydroxide as well as the discharge header in the containment that may contain untreated water. To manage cracking and loss of material of the stainless steel spray additive tanks and the above listed piping, LRA Table 3.2.2-1 and LRA Section B. 1.18 identify an Augmented ISI Program that specifies volumetric inspection for portions of the containment spray system subject to a sodium hydroxide environment. Augmented inspections are specified for components that are outside the jurisdiction of ASME Section XI inspection requirements. Augmented inspections use the same non-destructive examination methods used for ASME Section XI inspections on ISI Class 1, 2, or 3 components. The augmented inspections of the spray additive tanks and piping will use ultrasonic techniques, where feasible. For components with less than a minimum thickness where volumetric examination is not feasible, cases exist for which ASME Section XI allows for surface examinations. Some of the containment spray piping is in the category where volumetric inspection will not be feasible. In these cases, guidance in ASME Section XI for ISI Class 2 piping will be followed for the examination method. The inspection will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation (2014 for Unit 1 and 2017 for Unit 2). The frequency of inspections will be once every 10 years, consistent with ASME Section XI, Subsection IWC, requirements for comparable ISI Class Alion Science & Technologv 13 DCCO1. G03 Revision 0
Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval 2 components. Acceptance criteria will be in accordance with the ISI Class 2 acceptance criteria of Article IWC-3000.
1.4.8 Pressurizer Examinations Commitment 8256 tracks the pressurizer inspection requirements, as delineated in Appendix B, Section 1.24 of the License Renewal Application. The Pressurizer Examination Program mandates a one-time VT-3 visual examination of the pressurizer spray head, spray head locking bar, and coupling (either CNP unit).
This inspection needs to occur before 2014, but should not be scheduled too early in the current operating term which could raise questions regarding aging effects beyond 2014. Additionally, ASME Section XI volumetric examinations of the surge nozzle and shell-to-lower head weld to detect cracking of the pressurizer cladding due to thermal fatigue are performed. In accordance with ASME Section XI, Examination Category B-B, volumetric examination of essentially
.100 percent of the circumferential shell-to-head weld is performed each inspection inte rval. The weld that connects the surge nozzle to the lower head receives volumetric examination each inspection interval in accordance with ASME Section XI, Examination Category B-D to monitor for cracking of the cladding. These examinations need to continue through the period of extended operation to manage any cracking of cladding that may extend into the base metal at the locations most susceptible to thermal fatigue.. The inspection will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation (2014 for Unit 1 and 2017 for Unit 2).
1.4.9 Reactor Vessel Internals, Plates, Forgings, Welds and Bolting Program Commitment 8260 tracks the implementation of the Reactor Vessel Internals, Plates, Forgings, Welds, and Bolting Program as described in Appendix B, Section 1.27 of the License Renewal Application for the following components:

- Lower system flux thimbles
- Clevis insert block and fasteners
- Control rod guide tube pin
- Fuel assembly guide tube pin A visual inspection will be performed on plates, forgings, and welds to detect cracking caused by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking enhanced by reduction of fracture toughness by irradiation embrittlement and distortion due to void swelling. Other demonstrated acceptable inspection methods will be utilized for bolted joints (core barrel bolts and thermal shield bolts), if deemed necessary.
For baffle bolts, a volumetric inspection of critical locations will be performed to assess cracking.
This program will manage the aging effects of loss of bolted closure integrity due to stress relaxation (loss of preload). This program will supplement the normal ISI inspections conducted in accordance with the interval and acceptance requirements of ASME Section XI (B-N-3).
Commitment 8260 requires I&M to submit the Reactor Vessel Internals Plates, Forgings, Welds, and Bolting Program for NRC Staff review and approval three years prior to the period of extended operation. The inspection will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation (2014 for Unit 1 and 2017 for Unit 2).
1.4.10 Reactor Vessel Internals Cast Austenitic Stainless Steel (CASS) Program Commitment 8259 tracks the implementation of the Reactor Vessel Internals CASS Program as described in Appendix B, Section 1.28 of the License Renewal Application for the following components:
- Lower support plate
- Lower core plate support column cap
- Upper core support column mixing device
- Upper core support column orifice base

For items fabricated from CASS, an analytical evaluation will determine the critical flaw size based on service loading conditions and service-degraded material properties. Supplemental examinations based on these evaluation results will be conducted on limiting components. Additionally, visual inspections will be performed to detect dimensional changes due to void swelling on the CASS components.
The inspection will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation (2014 for Unit 1 and 2017 for Unit 2).

Examination methods that meet the criteria of the ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII, will be used for volumetric inspections of the base metal, with the scope of the inspection covering the portions determined to be limiting from the standpoint of applied stress, operating time, and environmental considerations.
Alternatively, a component-specific flaw tolerance evaluation, using specific geometry and stress information, can be used to demonstrate that the thermally-embrittled material has adequate toughness. The flaw tolerance evaluation would utilize elements from Code Case N-481 as discussed below:
- 1. Perform VT-2 visual examinations of the exterior surface of the susceptible piping segments during periodic pressure tests in accordance with ASME Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-P.
- 2. Perform VT-1 visual examinations of the external surfaces of the welded joints which connect the susceptible piping segments to adjacent segments, unless those welds and the adjacent base metal are already included in the locations for Unit 2 inspected under Examination Category B-J. These additional examinations will be carried out prior to entering the period of extended operation.
- 3. The flaw tolerance evaluation will be performed utilizing component-specific geometry, material information, and stress information. Thermal aging embrittlement that might degrade the properties of the component shall be accounted for in the evaluation. In addition, the evaluation shall select locations and orientations for a postulated one-quarter thickness reference flaw with an aspect ratio of 6:1. The stability of this flaw under governing stress conditions shall be established.
If the flaw tolerance option is chosen, the additional inspections will be performed in the fifth and sixth intervals. VT-2 visual examination may be performed each refueling outage and VT-1 visual examination each interval. A report of the flaw tolerance evaluation must be submitted to the NRC prior to entering the period of extended operation.
The inspection will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation (2014 for Unit 1 and 2017 for Unit 2).

The sample inspection locations will be determined utilizing a RI-ISI approach based on generally accepted practices. This consists of a degradation mechanism evaluation to assess the failure potential of the piping system under consideration and a consequence evaluation to assess the impact on plant safety in the event of a piping failure. Once the sample locations are determined, the detection of cracking will be performed using approved and qualified volumetric examination techniques, such as ultrasonic testing or radiography. This inspection is a one time inspection and will occur at or near the end of the initial operating period for CNP Units 1 and 2 (2014 for Unit 1 and 2017 for Unit 2).
Code Case N-716 as implemented requires High Safety Significant (HSS) piping to be examined prior to the end of the interval. Some of this piping is small bore piping. Also, MRP-146 provides examination requirements for IGSCC and thermal fatigue impacted piping, including small bore piping. As long as there is no indication of IGSCC and the thermal fatigue has been evaluated as acceptable, the HSS piping exams will be examined per these requirements and used for the Commitment 8262 exams as well.

System Leakage Testing of Non-Isolable Buried Components Component Number: Non-Isolable Buried Pressure Retaining Components CODE REQUIREMENT:
Paragraph IWA-5244(b)(2) requires non-isolable buried components be tested to confirm that flow during operation is not impaired.
POSITION:
Article IWA-5000 provides no guidance in setting acceptance criteria for what can be considered "adequate flow". In lieu of any formal guidance provided by the Code, CNP has established the following acceptance criteria:
For opened ended lines on systems that require Inservice Testing (IST) of pumps, adherence to IST acceptance criteria is considered as reasonable proof of adequate flow through the lines.
For lines in which the open end is accessible to visual examination while the system is in operation, visual evidence of flow discharging the line is considered as reasonable proof of adequate flow through the open ended line.
For open ended portions of systems where the process fluid is pneumatic, evidence of gaseous discharge shall be considered reasonable proof of adequate flow through the open ended line. Such tests may include passing smoke through the line, hanging balloons or streamers, using a remotely operated blimp, using thermography to detect hot air, etc.
This acceptance criteria will be utilized in order to meet the requirements of Paragraph IWA-5244(b)(2).
CNP's position is that proof of adequate flow is all that is required for testing these open ended lines and that no further visual examination is necessary. This is consistent with the requirements for buried piping, which is not subject to visual examination.

Description:==
Valve Seats as Pressurization Boundaries Component Number: All Pressure Testing Boundary Valves CODE REQUIREMENT:
Paragraph IWA-5221 requires the pressurization boundary for system leakage testing extend to those pressure retaining components under operating pressures during normal system service.
POSITION:
CNP's position is that the pressurization boundary extends up to the valve seat of the valve utilized for isolation. For example, in order to pressure test the ISI Class 1 components, the valve that provides the Class break would be utilized as the isolation point. In this case the true pressurization boundary, and Class break, is actually at the valve seat.
Any requirement to test beyond.the valve seat is dependent only on whether or not the piping on the other side of the valve seat is ISI Class 1, 2, or 3.
In order to simplify examination of classed components, CNP will perform a VT-2 visual examination of the entire boundary valve body and bonnet (during pressurization up to the valve seat).

This Engineering Specification provides the requirements for piping classifications, designation of materials, quality standards and codes, and fabrication for piping systems at CNP.
2.2 Operational Flow Diagrams Tables 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 list Operational Flow Diagrams (OP). These drawings depict items subject to inservice inspection at CNP Units 1 and 2. The class boundaries are depicted by flags and arrows, and identify the piping as ISI Class 1, 2, or 3. Non-Classed is represented by the absence of flags and arrows.
2.3 ISI Isometrics ISI isometrics (ISOs) are developed and maintained by ISI personnel and are currently outside the scope of CNP plant drawing control process. Tables 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 also list the isometrics for the classed piping shown on the OP drawings. Any revisions require a reviewer that is Position Specific Qualified as an ISI Program Owner.

Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval SECTION 5.0 RELIEF REQUESTS This section contains relief requests written per 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i) for situations where alternatives to ASME Section XI requirements provide an acceptable level of quality and safety; per 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(ii) for situations where compliance with ASME Section XI requirements results in a hardship or an unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety; and per 10CFR50.55a(g)(5)(iii) for situations where ASME Section XI requirements are considered impractical.
The following guidance was utilized to determine the correct 10CFR50.55a paragraph citing for CNP relief requests. 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i) and 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(ii) provide alternatives to the requirements of ASME Section XI, while 10CFR50.55a(g)(5)(iii) recognizes situational impracticalities.
10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i): Cited in relief requests when alternatives to the ASME Section XI requirements which provide an acceptable level of quality and safety are proposed. Examples are relief requests which propose alternative NDE methods and/or examination frequency.
10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(ii): Cited in relief requests when compliance with the ASME Section XI requirements is deemed to be a hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
Examples of hardship and/or unusual difficulty include, but are not limited to, excessive radiation exposure, disassembly of components solely to provide access for examinations, and development of sophisticated tooling that would result in only minimal increases in examination coverage.
10CM50.55a(a)(5)(iii): Cited in relief requests when conformance with ASME Section XI requirements is deemed impractical. Examples of impractical requirements are situations where the component would have to be redesigned or replaced to enable the required inspection to.be performed.
A Relief Request Index that provides a listing and revision status for CNP Fourth Interval Relief Requests is included in Table 5-1. The "ISIR-4-XX" relief requests are applicable to ISI or SPT as noted. CISI Relief Requests are contained in the Containment ISI Program Plan. (Note the footnotes at the bottom of the table for relief request status options.) Safety Evaluation (SE) references should be noted in this table once NRC approval is obtained.
The numbering convention (i.e., ISIR-4-01, etc.) is specific to the Fourth Inspection Interval.
This numbering convention shall be used for all Fourth Interval Relief Requests and shall remain in place through the end of the Interval.

4.0 REASON FOR REQUEST:
Pursuant to 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i), relief is requested on the basis that the proposed alternative utilizing Reference 1 will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.
The process followed under Reference 1, ASME Code Case N-716, is founded in large part on the risk-informed methodology of Reference 2, EPRI TR-1 12657, which is reviewed and approved by a subsequent NRC Safety Evaluation.
The initial Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant RI-ISI Program (Reference 5) was submitted during the Third Period of the Third Inspection Interval. This initial RI-ISI program was developed in accordance with ASME Code Case N-716. The program was approved for use by the USNRC via a Safety Evaluation as transmitted to Indiana Michigan Power Company on September 28, 2007 (Reference 6). The PRA Analysis was assessed in April 2009 and the conclusions support the Risk Informed ISI Program (Reference 7).
The transition from the 1989 Edition to the 2004 Edition, No Addenda of ASME Section XI for Cook Nuclear Plant's Fourth Inspection Interval does not change the basis or methodology of the currently approved Risk-Informed ISI evaluation process being implemented in the Third Inspection Interval. The requirements of the new Code edition/addenda will be implemented as detailed in the CNP Fourth Interval ISI Program Plan.
For the Fourth Interval RI-ISI Program, the actual safety significance and susceptibility analysis, element selection, and change in risk evaluation of the currently approved RI-ISI Program (Reference 5) remain unchanged and continue to form the basis of the program. Although PRA model revisions have occurred since the RI-ISI program was approved, there were no resulting changes in the break location Consequence Rank or the bounding CCDP values used for the risk evaluations. As the initial RI-ISI Program was approved less than two years ago (Reference 6) and has only recently been implemented, no new significant plant history require incorporation as part of the interval transition.
CNP did review recent plant modifications, exam coverage, and element selections in order to validate the current HSS locations and inspections meet the requirements of Reference 1. Only minor selection adjustments were made, and the requirements of Section 4 of ASME Code Case N-716 were maintained. The Fourth Interval RI-ISI Program thus will continue under the methodology and process implemented at the end of the Third Interval support by the PRA methodology (Reference 7).

Based on the implementation period of the CNP RI-ISI Program and the Program Update requirements of Reference 1, reevaluations following this process will be conducted each Inspection Period during the Fourth ISI Interval. These dates are established per ASME Section XI Paragraph IWA-2430 and are documented in Table 1-1 of the CNP Fourth Interval ISI Program Plan. This process will maintain a technically sound and living RI-ISI Program throughout the inspection interval.
5.0 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE AND BASIS FOR USE:
The proposed. alternative implemented in the initial Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection Program at Cook Nuclear Plant (Reference 5) provides an acceptable level of quality and safety as required by 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i). This program is currently approved for the CNP Third Inspection Interval as documented in Reference 6.
As the RI-ISI Program was recently approved and implemented less than two years ago, CNP requests that the Fourth Inspection Interval RI-ISI Program be a continuation of the current application. No changes to the evaluation methodology or conclusions currently implemented under Reference 1 are made as part of this interval update. Rankings, prorations, and distributions were reviewed and confirmed to meet the requirements of the Reference 1 program. No major changes were required that would impact the determination of the program's acceptability relative to Reference 3 and 4 criteria.
The CNP RI-ISI Program, as developed in accordance with ASME Code Case N-716 (Reference 1), requires a minimum 10% of the elements that are categorized as High Safety Significant (HSS) be selected for inspection. The element selections applicable to the beginning of the Fourth Inspection Interval have net HSS examinations of 112 (10.40Z) for Unit 1 and 110 (10.0%) for Unit 2. The current program delta CDF of
-6.22E-08 and -6.95E-08 for Units 1 and 2 respectively, as well as the delta LERF numbers of -6.22E-09 and -6.95E-09, continue to meet the criteria for acceptable change in risk per References 3 and 4.
The PRA model quality was recently validated by an independent focused-scope PRA peer review performed in 2009 by Westinghouse to determine compliance with Addendum B of the ASME PRA Standard and RG 1.200 Rl. This Peer Review was conducted following more recent NEI Peer Review guidance [10]. The scope of this review included the CNP Internal Flooding Analysis, portions of the HRA related to revised operator actions for mitigation of Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) sequences, recent data collection updates, Common Cause Failure methodology and implementation, and the Systems Analysis (SY) and Accident Sequence Analysis (AS) elements update due to the addition of the supplemental diesel generators.

The CNP PRA model maintenance and update processes and technical capability evaluations described in prior submittals continue to provide a robust basis for concluding that the CNP PRA is suitable for use in risk-informed licensing actions. As specific risk-informed PRA applications are performed, the remaining gaps pertaining to LERF-specific requirements in the PRA standard will be reviewed to determine which, if any, merit application-specific sensitivity studies in the presentation of the application results.
In addition to this risk-informed evaluation, selection, and examination procedure, all ASME Section XI piping components, regardless of risk classification, will continue to receive Code required pressure testing as part of the current ASME Section XI program.
VT-2 visual examinations are scheduled in accordance with the CNP system pressure testing program.

CNP's nominal reactor coolant pressure at 100 % rated power is approximately 2060 psig Unit 1 and 2210 psig Unit 2. The piping segments noted in Table 1, are separated by an inboard check valve from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and therefore, are not exposed to a pressure of 2060 psig Unit 1 and 2210 psig Unit 2. The piping for the safety injection system is pressurized to approximately 625 psig Unit 1 and approximately 615 psig Unit 2 during normal plant operating conditions from the up stream injection accumulators. The piping segments from the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system to the inboard check valve are pressurized to approximately 600 psig during reactor start-up following the refueling outage.
Based on these considerations, the Indiana Michigan Power Company believes that compliance with the ASME Section XI Code requirements stated would result in hardship and unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
5.0 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE AND BASIS FOR USE:
The piping segments found in Table 1 are visually examined (VT-2) during each refueling outage with the reactor coolant system at Nominal Operating Pressure and Nominal Operating Temperature (NOP/NOT) and the inboard isolation valves normally closed. This examination is conducted in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-P, Item Number B 15.10. This test is part of the Class 1 system leakage test with the valves positioned in their normal alignment.
This examination is proposed as an alternative to the ASME Code Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-P, Item Number B 15.10.
The piping segments in Table 1 for the RHR are visually examined during plant start-up following each refueling outage with the RHR pumps taking suction from the RCS at less than approximately 435 psig. The safety injection lines listed in Table 1 are pressurized to approximately 625 psig Unit 1 and approximately 615 psig Unit 2 during normal plant operating conditions from the up stream injection accumulators. The safety injection accumulators have level and pressure alarms located in the control room for both units. If there was any indication of RCS leakage from these segments (level or pressure loss) it would be denoted by alarms located in the control room. CNP operating procedures set in motion multiple actions, including an operator to be dispatched to the location of the incident. Current Technical Specifications require verification of level and pressure of the accumulators by monitoring controls and logging the conditions at least once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.
The piping segments noted in Table 1 contain stainless steel pipe, valves, and weld material. These items do not contain any alloy 600/82/182 materials. CNP currently has no known degradation mechanisms taking place in these piping segments.

The piping segments that continue beyond the last check valve to the RCS loops are also constructed of the same material and specifications. These Class 1 segments are exposed to the RCS pressure and are VT-2 examined during the system leakage test conducted at the end of each refueling outage (NOP/NOT).

The primary function of the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System is to remove decay heat energy from the reactor core to the Component Cooling Water (CCW) System via the RHR heat exchangers during the second phase of plant cool down during shutdown and refueling operations. It is designed to only perform this function once the Reactor Cooling System (RCS) temperature and pressure is reduced to below the RHR design limits.
CNP's normal reactor coolant pressure at 100 % rated power is approximately 2060 psig Unit 1 and 2210 psig Unit 2. The Class 1 RCS pressure boundary extends to the second isolation valve (ICM-129) downstream from the RCS. The section of piping between the two isolation valves noted in Table 1 above has the same design pressure as the RCS.
However, this piping which is isolated from the RCS by two motor operated valves in series and the remainder of the RHR suction line, are not exposed to pressure of 2060 psig Unit 1 and 2210 psig Unit 2. Both valves have interlock set-points that require RCS pressure to be below 424.5 psig prior to the valves being opened.
On the other hand, as the RCS pressure and temperature increases to nominal operating pressure and temperature (2060 psig Unit 1 and 2210 psig Unit 2), the two motor operated valves are closed in accordance with plant procedures when the RCS pressure exceeds 506.25 psig. Therefore, the RCS pressure and temperature at 100 % rated power is isolated from the piping segments between these valves.
CNP design configuration of the RCS meets the requirements of double valve isolation defined in 10CFR50.55a(c)(2)(ii), but cannot satisfy the code requirements of ASME Code,Section XI, 2004 Edition, Paragraph IWB-5221(a). Opening the RCS inlet isolation valve contradicts the philosophy of 10CFR50.55a(c)(2)(ii) between the Class I and Class 2 boundaries of the RHR system.
Based on these considerations, the Indiana Michigan Power Company believes that compliance with the ASME Section XI Code requirements stated would result in hardship and unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
5.0 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE AND BASIS FOR USE:
The piping segments listed in Table 1 are visually examined (VT-2) during each refueling outage during normal Class 1 walkdowns, Nominal Operating Pressure and Nominal Operating Temperature (NOP/NOT). This examination is conducted in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-P, Item Number B 15.10. This test is part of the Class 1 system leakage test with the valves positioned in their normal alignment (ie, both valves closed).

Additionally, it is proposed that the pipe segment between IMO-128 and ICM-129 be visually examined (VT-2) as part of the Class 2 system pressure test performed once every inspection period according to ASME Code Section XI, Table IWC-2500-1, Examination Category C-H, Item Number C7. 10.
If through-wall leakage were to occur in these piping segments, the proposed alternative examinations would identify any leakage.
The piping segments noted in Table 1 contain stainless steel pipe, valves, and weld material. These items do not contain any alloy 600/82/182 materials. CNP currently has no known degradation, mechanisms taking place in these piping segments.
The piping downstream of the RCS up to the inlet valves are constructed of the same material specifications as the segment of piping listed in Table 1. These Class 1 segments are exposed to the RCS pressure and are VT-2 examined during the system leakage test conducted at the end of each refueling outage during NOP/NOT.

CNP's nominal reactor coolant pressure at 100 % rated power is approximately 2060 psig Unit 1 and 2210 psig Unit 2. The vent, drain, and instrument connections within the Class 1 boundary consist of pipe segments that contain either two manually operated Alion Science & Technology 103 DCCO. G03 Revision 0
Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, FourthInterval 10CFR50.55a RELIEF REQUEST ISIR-4-04 Revision 0 (Page 2 of 4) valves in series or a manually operated valve and an end cap or blank flange that provides the design requirement for double isolation. The isolation valves on these vent and drain lines are generally in close proximity to the process pipe and there is minimum distance between the first and second valves. During normal plant operation, each pipe segment's isolation valves are maintained in the closed or locked closed position, and the piping downstream of the first isolation valve is not normally pressurized.
While in Mode 3 during plant start-up, the system leakage test is performed with the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) at full pressure, approximately 2060 psig Unit 1 and 2210 psig Unit 2, and normal operating temperature greater than 5007F. Testing the small diameter Class 1 vent, drain, and instrument connections would require an operator to change valve positions with the RCS at Nominal Operating Pressure and Nominal Operating Temperature (NOP/NOT). These valve manipulations would need to be performed under elevated containment air temperature and humid conditions.
Furthermore, due to the location of many of these valves, it would be necessary to erect scaffolding for this evolution. The expected dose for performing these activities is estimated to be between 400 mrem and 700 mrem for Unit 1 and between 450 mrem and 800 mrem for Unit 2. Finally, in Mode 3 during plant start-up (NOP/NOT), the system leakage test is conducted as a critical path evolution. The valve manipulations necessary to pressurize the isolated portions of the vent, drain, and instrument connections, and then to return them to normal position would directly impact the start-up activity sequence and outage duration.
Based on these considerations, the Indiana Michigan Power Company believes that compliance with the ASME Section XI Code requirements stated would result in hardship and unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
5.0 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE AND BASIS FOR USE:
The small diameter vent, drain, and instrument connections, 1 inch and less as well as four 2 inch RCS drain lines (see Table 1), will be visually examined (VT-2) at the end of each refueling outage with the isolation valves in their normal closed position and the system at the Nominal Operating Pressure and Nominal Operating Temperature (NOP/NOT) for the system leakage test. This examination is conducted in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-P, Item Number B15.10.
The non-isolable portion of the RCS will be pressurized and visually examined as required. The isolated portion of the small diameter vent, drain, and instrument connections will be visually examined in the same configuration as during normal Alion Science & Technolo2-v 104 DCCO1. G03 Revision 0

Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval SECTION 6.0 SYSTEM PRESSURE TESTING 6.1 Introduction This section summarizes the requirements for pressure testing ISI Class 1, 2, and 3 systems for CNP Units 1 and 2 for the Fourth ISI Interval. Classification of systems at CNP is discussed in Section 1.3 of this document. System Pressure Testing is required by ASME Section XI, Articles IWA-5000, IWB-5000, IWC-5000, and IWD-5000 of the 2004 Edition, No Addenda for the Fourth ISI Interval. There are three basic groups of pressure tests required to be implemented. These include Periodic, Interval (ten-year),
and Repair/Replacement pressure tests. Table 1-1 of this ISI Program Plan provides the CNP Period start and end dates, as well as the Interval start and end dates, for both Units l and 2.
Pressure tests typically are performed during normal plant operation, in conjunction with system leakage testing,. while the system is inservice, or by hydrostatic pressure tests (external pressurization source). The use of hydrostatic tests will be used only when a system/component cannot be tested during normal operation or a system leakage test.
During the pressure test, examination is performed to identify relevant conditions that may be indicative of pressure boundary leakage. There are several methods used to verify the leak tight integrity of a system. These include VT-2 visual examinations by certified examiners, bubble testing, pressure drop, and flow verification.
6.2 Requirements 6.2.1 Regulatory Requirements The requirement for commercial nuclear power plants to implement a pressure test program is mandated by law through 10CFR50.55a. 10CFR50.55a(g)(4) requires the implementation of the latest edition/addenda of ASME Section XI endorsed in 10CFR50.55a(b). See Sections 1.2 and 1.5 of this ISI Program Plan for further information on 10CFR and Section XI applicability.
When Section XI requirements are impractical or result in undue hardship, Request for Relief may be submitted to the NRC for approval of alternative requirements. Section 5.0 of this document provides the process for relief request preparation and any. specific relief requests applicable to system pressure testing.
Other alternatives may be utilized through approved ASME Code Cases. The Code Case approval and use processes are outlined in Section 4.0. This section also contains a list of the specific Code Cases adopted by CNP for the Fourth Interval including any applicable to system pressure testing.
Alion Science & Technologv 107 DCCO1. G03 Revision 0
Inservice Inspection (ISI)ProgramPlan D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 & 2, Fourth Interval There may also be other cases where the regulator imposes additional requirements on licensees (e.g., generic letters, NUREGs, bulletins, plant FSAR, etc.). Commitments may result from these based on regulatory correspondence, management requirements, or other documented correspondence. Requirements outside of the jurisdiction ofASME Section XI are referred to as Augmented Inspections and disciissed in Section 1.4 of this ISI Program Plan.
Finally, when the requirements applicable to a specific test are unclear, incomplete, or subject to some interpretations, CNP may opt to write a Technical Position to document the implementation approach. Technical Positions are included in Section 1.7 of this document.
6.2.2 General Requirements Pressure tests are performed to verify the leak tight integrity of systems and components. The VT-2 visual examination is used where systems contain fluid to verify pressure boundary integrity (no thru wall flaws). The VT-2 visual examination is also used to detect evidence of leakage at mechanical connections.
The medium normally contained in the system generally serves as the pressurizing medium.
Whenever practical, pressure test requirements shall be satisfied by operating conditions that do not require operations personnel to perform special lineups or train switching. For some systems, the pressure test may require operation of a pump (pump surveillance test) and/or special valve lineups. Pressure tests that require the operation of a pump or special valve lineup should be scheduled to coincide with normal surveillance tests where practical.
6.2.3 Code Requirements ASME Section XI requires certain pressure test conditions before performing a VT-2 visual examination. Pressurization Hold Times are required after attaining test pressure for a given period of time prior to starting the VT-2 examination (IWA-5213). The boundaries subject to test pressurization are defined in IWA-5221. Pressure and temperature limits are specified by IWA-5212.
During the test, inspection requirements are provided in IWA-5240 relative to the visual examination, areas to be examined, and how insulation impacts the examination. After the examination is complete, IWB-3522 provides acceptance standards for VT-2 examination, and IWA-5250 contains some additional Corrective Actions in addition to those addressed in IWB-3142.
