Dear Administrative Judges:

The State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc. respectfully submit the enclosed proposed new and amended contention concerning metal fatigue along with a motion for leave and two supporting expert declarations from Dr, Richard Lahey and Dr. Joram Hopenfeld.

The declarations discuss deficiencies in the recent CUFen Reanalysis prepared by Westinghouse and provided by Entergy. Out of an abundance of caution, the State and Riverkeeper have provisionally designated portions of the accompanying declarations as containing proprietary information because certain Westinghouse documents have been designated as containing proprietary information. In accordance with this Board's September 4, 2009 Protective Order, non-redacted and non-public versions of the declarations are being served on the Board and its staff, the Secretary and her staff, counsel for Entergy, and counsel for NRC Staff- while redacted and public versions of the two declarations are being served on the remaining parties. The State and Riverkeeper reserve the right to later request that the proprietary designation be removed.

The State of New York is also serving a notice of change of email addresses for its representatives. A certificate of service is also enclosed.

7--------------------X STATE OF NEW YORK'S AND RIVERKEEPER'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A NEW AND AMENDED CONTENTION CONCERNING THE AUGUST 9,2010 ENTERGY REANALYSIS OF METAL FATIGUE A. Introduction Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(2) the State of New York seeks leave to file the attached Consolidated Contention NYS-26B/RK-TC lB. The Contention is based on Entergy's filing, on August 10, 2010, of a new cumulative use environmental fatigue calculation for certain components of IP 2 and IP 3 ("CUFen Reanalysis"), which was filed in an attempt to meet its obligations under 10 C.F.R. § 54.5 1(c)(1)(iii) with regard to metal fatigue. The CUFen Reanalysis is not merely a minor alteration in the previous analysis, but represents an entirely new CUFCn analysis using different assumptions and input values and producing markedly different results. The new analysis does not merely modify a few parts of the prior analysis but is, rather, a replacement of that prior analysis. Review of the CUFCn Reanalysis and its supporting documentation reflects that many modifications were made and the result is an entirely new analysis.' These changes reflect Entergy's attempt to address the fact that in its Entergy concedes that what it is now submitting is intended to totally replace the CUFen analysis that it prepared as part of its initial License Renewal Application ("LRA"). Attachment I to NL-10-082 (August 9, 2010); see LRA at

§ 4.3.3 describing the previous CUFCn analysis conducted by Entergy.

~1

original CUFen analysis a number of components were shown to have CUFen values >1.0. to NL-10-082 (August 9, 2010). While Entergy refers to these reanalyses as "refined fatigue analyses to determine valid CUFs" (NL-10-082, Attachment 1 at 1), in fact Entergy has removed conservatisms contained in the original CUFen analysis in order to make it appear that the CUFen values were all <1.

This proposed consolidated contention is based on the CUFen Reanalysis. Pursuant to the Scheduling Order issued by the Board on July 1, 2010, this proposed consolidated contention is timely, having been filed within 30 days of the date on which Entergy provided the Board and the parties with its CUFen Reanalysis. 2 See Scheduling Order dated July 1, 2010 at 6. Thus, the remainder of this pleading addresses the other factors in 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(2) as well as the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1) as required by the Board's July 1, 2010 Order. Id.

2 The initial filing by Entergy on August 10, 2010, was devoid of much of the supporting documentation, including the two Westinghouse reports (Westinghouse, WCAP- 17199-P, "Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian Point Unit 2," (June 2010) and Westinghouse, WCAP-17200-P, "Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian Point Unit 3," (June 2010)) which contain the analysis upon which Entergy relies for its assertion that it has now met its AMP commitment with regard to metal fatigue,. The Westinghouse reports were received by the State on August 12, 2010, but none of the non-publically available references in those documents were provided. Upon receipt, the reports were provided to Dr. Richard T. Lahey, Jr. and Dr. Joram Hopenfeld, who noted the absence of several documents that were essential to properly evaluate whether Entergy, by way of Westinghouse, had used a reliable methodology for the CUFf, Reanalysis. Among the missing information were the Westinghouse Code Manual for the WESTEMS computer code, a "propagation of error" analysis, and the criteria used for selecting various critical parameters, all of which would be expected to exist if the most fundamental methodologies were followed. See September 2010 declarations of Dr. Richard T. Lahey ("Lahey Declaration") at ¶ 11 and Dr. Joram Hopenfeld

("Hopenfeld Declaration") at ¶¶ 10-15. After a number of days of negotiation between a New York State attorney and an attorney for Entergy, excerpts from the Computer Code Manual were provided on Friday, September 3, 2010.

However, since the excerpts did not provide a description of the detailed assumptions and criteria for their selection (particularly for the thermal-hydraulics) that were used it was not possible to fully evaluate the methodology used by Entergy. After reviewing the excerpts of the Computer Code Manual, on Monday, September 6, 2010, the State requested a description of the thermal-hydraulics models relied on by the code but has yet to receive the document.

In addition, Entergy refused to even seek a copy, or acknowledge the existence, of a "propagation of error" analysis.

For this reason the proposed consolidated contention assumes that, since Entergy has the burden of proof, and it has not produced a "propagation of error" analysis, no such analysis was conducted. In addition, the proposed consolidated contention specifically reserves the right to file additional amendments to the consolidated contention within 30 days of when the full Computer Code Manual, with all relevant material including a description of thermal-hydraulics models, is provided. Discussions with Entergy continue on the disclosure issue.

B. The Contention Meets All The Requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(0(2)

The contention fully meets 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(2) which requires for admissibility, in pertinent part, a showing that:

(i) The information upon which the amended or new contention is based was not previously available; (ii) The information upon which the amended or new contention is based is materially different than information previously available; and (iii) The amended or new contention has been submitted in a timely fashion based on the availability of the subsequent information.

Id.

1. Information Not Previously Available Since this contention is based upon a document first filed on August 10, 201.0 and on the new' information contained in that document regarding the CUFen Reanalysis, the contention relies on information not previously available and thus meets the first prong of the test set forth in 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(2)(i).
2. The New Information Is Materially Different Than Previously Available Information It was not until Entergy had completed its CUFen Reanalysis, that the State of New York and Riverkeeper were able to examine a "refined" analysis in which CUFen values were alleged to be <1.0. The reanalysis includes numerous modifications to the basic assumptions which went into the original CUFen analysis, relies on a proprietary computer code from Westinghouse and produces markedly different results from the initial CUFen analysis, including looking at different components and using different assumptions. See Declaration of Nelson F. Azevedo in Support of Applicant's Motion for Summary Disposition. of Contentions NYS-26/26A and Riverkeeper TC-l/1A at 9-12, 14-16.

C. The Contention Meets All the Requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(f)(1)

1. The Contention Is Within the Scope of License Renewal The New York State and Riverkeeper have raised a contention that Entergy's LRA, as amended in the past and most recently by Entergy's "Notification of Entergy's Submittal Regarding Completion of Commitment 33 for Indian Point Units 2 and 3", does not contain an adequate aging management plan for key systems, structures, and components that will suffer the effects of metal fatigue, contrary to the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 54.21(c)(1). The Board has already ruled that the issue of whether an applicant has an adequate AMP to deal appropriately with metal fatigue of plant systems is within the scope of license renewal. Memorandum and Order (Ruling on Petitions to Intervene and Requests for Hearing) LBP-08-13 at 112-117, 161-162. Thus the current contention, which continues the challenge to Entergy's now-modified attempt to provide an adequate AMP for metal fatigue, is within the scope of this license renewal proceeding.
2. The Issues Raised Are Material to the Findings that the NRC Must Make to Support the Action that is Involved in this Proceeding The issue of metal fatigue is material to this relicensing proceeding because, if the petitioners are correct in their contention, the NRC must make certain findings to protect the public health and safety, and the environment, and either deny the license renewal, or impose significant modifications on the applicant's operations. The petitioners have demonstrated in the attached contention, particularly through the Declarations of Dr. Lahey and Dr. Hopenfeld, that metal fatigue is a significant safety and public health issue. Inadequate management of the effects of metal fatigue on key reactor components could lead to failures of the components to perform their intended safety functions and/or cracks in these components, which could result in 4

breaking away of parts which would interfere with other components and systems performing their safety functions.

3. Adequate Bases Have Been Provided For the Contention The bases for this contention are detailed and exceed the regulatory requirement for a "brief explanation." They describe a number of methodological errors in Entergy' s submission regarding the CUFen Reanalysis including deficiencies in the AMP as proposed by Entergy that make the calculations provided unreliable. The contention also reiterates deficiencies noted in the earlier admitted contention regarding the lack of sufficient detail in the portion of the AMP related to how Entergy will deal with components for which CUFen values are predicted to be

>1.0. The bases for this new contention are not that Entergy has omitted something but that what they have presented does not meet their burden to prove that the AMP for metal fatigue is adequate to meet the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 54.51 (c)(1)(iii).3 Since this is the second effort by Entergy to meet the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 54.5 1(c)(1), its LRA should be judged by what it has already provided and it should not be permitted to submit further information or analyses intendedto expand on its current submission. Given the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 2.336, Entergy has produced all the documents in its possession or the possession of experts (in this case Westinghouse) that are relevant to the metal fatigue issue (see September 1, 2010 Entergy Nineteenth Update to Mandatory Disclosures; August 2, 2010 Entergy Eighteenth Update to Mandatory Disclosure; July 1, 2010 Entergy Seventeenth Update to Mandatory Disclosures; June 1, 2010 Entergy Sixteenth Update to Mandatory Disclosures). In light of those discovery regulations, Entergy certainly should not now be allowed to support its CUF,, analysis with any documentation that was in existence prior to August 10th, 2010. In addition, allowing further amendments to its LRA, without at least requiring that it meet requirements similar to those in 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(c) applicable to late filings by intervenors, would place New York State and Riverkeeper at a distinct disadvantage by requiring them to once again expend time and resources to address new information and new analyses. Such subsequent filings would also cause substantial delay in the resolution of this hearing since the information would be provided close to, if not after, the time the Board has set for prefiled direct testimony and the parties would have to be given additional time to analyze the new information and formulate yet another metal fatigue contention. This situation would be particularly egregious given that it would be the result of Entergy pursuing the metal fatigue issue in precisely the same piecemeal fashion as it did in the Vermont Yankee proceeding and causing precisely the same. delay and prejudice to the intervenors. See Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, L.L. C. )(Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station), CLI 17 at 23 (July 8, 2010) ("The procedural history of Contentions 2, 2A, 2B, and 2C is lengthy and muddled - due, in large part, to Entergy's multiple revisions to the relevant portions of its license renewal application as it responded to multiple Staff inquiries and, in a related vein, Entergy's apparent lack of precision as to the specific subsection of section 54.21 (c)(1) with which it sought to comply for the components at issue."). Just as the Board has set time limits on when motions for summary disposition or new contentions can be filed, it should reject any further pre-August 1t0 documentation offered by Entergy that Entergy has not already produced and any testimony by experts based on such documentation.

4. A Concise Statement of Facts and Expert Opinion Support the Contention Dr. Richard Lahey and Dr. Joram Hopenfeld have offered their expert opinions that Entergy's August 10, 2010 Environmental Fatigue Analyses. is methodologically flawed and, along with the remainder of Entergy Commitment 33, do not provide an AMP that adequately addresses the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 54.5 1(c)(1)(iii). These experts have based their opinions upon Entergy's own submissions, their review of NRC regulations, NRC and industry guidance, technical studies and their extensive professional experience.
5. A Genuine Dispute Exists with the Applicant on a'Material Issue of Law or Fact State of New York and Riverkeeper have provided sufficient information that a genuine dispute exists with Entergy regarding several material issues of the fact including whether the CUFen calculations submitted by Entergy are reliable, whether they meet guidance provided in GALL, whether they comply with the requirements of 10 C.F.R. § 54.51 (c)(1)(iii), and whether the remainder of the AMP provides sufficient detail to meet the requirements of GALL that

"[t]he program provides for corrective actions to prevent the usage factor from exceeding the design code limit during the period of extended -operation. Acceptable corrective actions include repair of the component, replacement of the component, and a more rigorous analysis of the component to demonstrate that the design code limit will not be exceeded during the extended period of operation." NUREG- 1801, Rev. 1 XM- 1-2, September 2005.

Entergy believes (1) that its calculations are complete and adequate even though they do not include the appropriate scope of components, (2) that it need not conduct, or provide as supporting evidence, the widely recognized essential for such calculations - a "propagation of error" analysis - or other descriptions of the methodology used to select the numerous assumptions and inputs required for the calculations, all of which are required to facilitate proper assessment of the calculations and to test the reliability of CUFen results, and (3) that it need not 6

specify what it plans to do to adequately manage the key reactor components that will suffer the effects of metal fatigue during extended operations other than to say it will do what it is required to do.

The areas of disagreement on both legal and factual issues could not be clearer and the need to resolve these issues at a hearing is apparent. Entergy's assertion, in its pending Motion for Disposition, that its CUFen Reanalysis forecloses any further dispute over the adequacy of the AMP for metal fatigue, will be addressed in detail when New York State and Riverkeeper file their opposition to that Motion. However, it is already apparent from the Declarations of Dr.

Lahey and Dr. Hopenfeld, that merely labeling its filing a CUFe, Reanalysis and merely asserting that it is in compliance with GALL, 10 C.F.R. § 54.51 (c)(1)(iii) and has fulfilled Commitment 33, is a far cry from even meeting itsprimafacie obligation to demonstrate, that its labels and assertions are correct.

F. Conclusion For the reasons stated, the State of New York and Riverkeeper respectfully request. that the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board grant leave to file the accompanying contention.

Respectfully submitted,

-I-

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR 40 years to 60 years. A critical measure of metal fatigue of reactor components is the environmentally adjusted cumulative usage factor, which is also known by its acronym "CUFen."

3. Aging effects on intended functions of nuclear power plant equipment include fatigue or "cyclic stress" of metal parts due to repeated stresses during plant operation. Material composition, strain rate, temperature, and local water chemistry are some of the factors that contribute to fatigue of metal parts, Equipment failures from fatigue may result in small leaks, which, if not detected in time, could result in a pipe rupture. Fatigue can also create small cracks that propagate and cause a given component to malfunction and/or break up and form loose parts, which would interfere with the safe operation of a plant. Such failures may occur during steady state or during anticipated or unanticipated transients and may have serious consequences to public health and safety.
4. For example, if one of the feed water distribution nozzles (J-tubes) were to fail from fatigue, pieces from the broken nozzle could be lodged between steam generator tubes, causing the tubes to rupture and leading to a potential core melt. Components that are susceptible to fatigue, therefore, must, as required by NRC regulations, have a planned management program to ensure that the plant functions efficiently and safely.
5. A common figure of merit used to appraise the possibility of fatigue failure is the cumulative usage factor (CUF), which is the ratio of the number of cycles experienced by a structure or component divided by the number of allowable cycles for that structure or component. At a nuclear power plant, the maximum number of cycles that should be experienced by any structure or component should always result in a CUF of less than 1.0. In

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR other. words, the number of actual cycles experienced should always be less than the number of allowable cycles. The cumulative usage factor (CUF) was developed from laboratory tests in "plain" air, and did not take account of the operating environment inside power reactors. The.

environmentally adjusted cumulative usage factor (CUFen) seeks to address the effects of the operating environment on reactor components.

6. The NRC provides guidance in NUREG-1800, Rev. 1, StandardReview Planfor Renewal Applicationsfor Nuclear Power Plants (SRP). According to Section 4.3.1.1 of the SRP, metal components may be designed or analyzed based on requirements in the American Society of Metal Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guidance. "A[n] [ASME] Section III Class I fatigue analysis requires the calculation of the CUF, based on the fatigue properties of the materials and the expected fatigue service of the component." SRP.§ 4.3.1.1. In order to be acceptable, a CUF value must be less than or equal to 1.0. Id. The factors -considered in the fatigue analysis must include "the effects of coolant environment on component fatigue life." Id., § 4.3.1.2. Those components with a CUF greater than 1.0 are deemed likely to develop cracks and must therefore be subjected to further analysis and management under 10 C.F.R. § 54.21(c)(1)(iii). The ASME Section III design curves, developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, are based ontests conducted in laboratory air environments at ambient temperatures. More recent fatigue test data from the United States, Japan, and elsewhere show that the LWR environment can have a significant impact on the fatigue life of carbon and low-alloy steels, as well as austenitic stainless steel.

Research efforts addressing the environmental degradation of fatigue crack nucleation concluded

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR that exposure to LWR environments has a detrimental effect on the fatigue life of metal components, which affects the major categories of structural materials (i.e., carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and austenitic stainless steel). In general, the study results show that degradation is exacerbated by increasing temperature, decreasing loading rate, increasing sulfur content of the materials, and oxygen content of the coolant (for carbon and low-alloy steels), and decreasing oxygen content of the coolant (for austenitic stainless steels). Numerous examples of fatigue cracking of nuclear power plant components have been reported.

7. NUREG- 1801, Rev. 1, Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report (2005)

("NUREG- 1801") also provides guidance. NUREG- 1801 advises that a license renewal applicant may comply with the regulations by addressing "the effects of the coolant environment on component fatigue life by assessing the impacts of the reactor coolant environment on a sample of critical components for the plant." Id., Vol. 2 at X M- 1. Examples of critical components. are identified in NUREG/CR-6260, Application ofNUREGXCR-5999 Interim Fatigue Curves to Selected Nuclear Power Plant Components (1995). The sample of critical components "can be evaluated by applying environmental life correction factors to the existing ASME Code fatigue analyses." NUREG- 1801, Vol. 2 at X M- 1.

8. If these components are found not to comply with the acceptance criteria (i.e.,

CUF less than 1.0), "corrective actions" must be taken, which "include a review of additional affected reactor coolant pressure boundary locations." Id. at X M-2. As explained further in Electric Power Research Institute industry guidance document MRP-47:

The locations evaluated in NUREG/CR-6260 [2] for the appropriate vendor/vintage plant should be evaluated on a plant-unique basis. For cases

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR where acceptable fatigue results are demonstrated for these locations for 60 years of plant operation including environmental effects, additional evaluation or locations need not be considered. However, plant-unique evaluations may show that some of the NUREG/CR-6260 [2] locations do not remain within allowable limits for 60 years of.plant operation-when environmental effects are considered.

In this situation, plant specific evaluations should *expand the sampling of locations accordingly to include other locations where high usage factors might be a concern.

MRP-47, Revision 1, Electric Power Research Institute, Materials Reliability Program:

Guidelines.forAddressing Fatigue Environmental Effects in a License Renewal Application, at 3-4 (2005) ("MRP-47").

9. When a license applicant is unable to demonstrate that CUFs are less than 1.0, the applicant must develop and submit a methodology to manage fatigue so that public health and safety during the life extension period will be maintained at least at the current level. NUREG-1801 states that the requirements of 10 C.F.R. Part 50 Appendix B set forth "acceptable" corrective actions for components that are subject to aging management. The Part 50 corrective actions are as follows:

Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformance are promptly identified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.

The identification of the significant condition adverse to quality, the cause of the condition, and the corrective action shall be documented and reported to appropriate levels of management.

10 C.F.R. Part 50, Appendix B, Section XVI.

10. Based on the NRC regulations and guidance an aging management program should (a) provide a reliable method for detecting cracks in pressure systems; (b) provide for a

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR thorough assessment of the component's condition (which may include stress analysis); and (c) contain criteria for deciding whether the component should be repaired or replaced or merely monitored. If monitoring is selected, the frequency of monitoring must be clearly specified, as required by ASME Section XI, Appendix L (1998).

11. Entergy has failed to satisfy the NRC's regulatory two-step process outlined in 10 C.F.R. § 54.21(c)(1) because (1) its TLAA analysis, submitted with its April 2007 License Renewal Application, demonstrated a number of components would have CUFen values >1.0 and (2) its attempt to then demonstrate that it complied with the aging management program requirements of § 54.21 (c)(1)(iii) by having an adequate aging management plan for those key reactor components fails because the CUFen Reanalysis fails to comply with the scientific and technical standards for such an analysis, because it fails to comply with the guidance in GALL including expanding the scope of the components to be evaluated to include -others within the.

reactor coolant pressure boundary, because the rest of the AMP relies upon the, flawed methodology of the CUFen Reanalysis for future calculations and because the rest of the AMP lacks the detail contemplated by GALL and required to determine whether it is in fact an adequate aging management plan.

12. Instead of providing concrete and verifiable details on its corrective action option of repair or replacement, Entergy merely includes a vague description of its proposed "corrective actions":

The program requires corrective actions including repair or replacement of affected components before fatigue usage calculations determine the CUF exceeds 1.0. Specific corrective actions are implemented in accordance with the IPEC corrective action program. Repair or replacement of the affected component(s), if

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR necessary, will be in accordance with established plant procedures governing:

repair and replacement activities. These established procedures are governed by Entergy's 10 CFR 50 Appendix B QA program and meet the applicable repair or replacement requirements of the ASME Code Section XI.

As part of its April 2007 application for permission to renew the operating licenses for Indian Point Unit 2 and Unit 3, Entergy completed and submitted a CUFn analysis that disclosed that several of the reactors' components will exceed CUFen values of 1.0 during the period of proposed extended operation for the two reactors.

14. Since Entergy has completed a CUFen analysis for several components of IP Unit 2 and Unit 3 that discloses that several of those components will exceed CUFen values of 1 during the proposed period of extended operation, Entetgy must, as a part of its license renewal application, refine the CUFen analysis to determine whether CUF values for any components remain at or above 1.0 during the period of proposed extended operation and provide the State and the public with a tangible, detailed, reliable, and prescriptive aging management plan (or AMP) to address the issue of repair orreplacement of the component including the schedule for repair or replacement and the scope of the repair or replacement for each component whose CUFen was, or in the future may be, calculated to exceed 1.0 during extended operation.

15.. On August 10, 2010, Entergy provided the parties in this proceeding with a CUFen Reanalysis that Entergy asserts demonstrates that certain reactor components will not have a CUFen value exceeding 1 0 during the period of extended operation; however, Entergy's recent

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR CUFen Reanalysis is flawed in fundamental ways that make it unreliable as well as inadequate and unable to meet the. NRC requirements for an aging management plan.'

16. The scope of the components for which the CUFCn Reanalysis has been done is incorrect and improperly narrow. Once Entergy's CUFen analysis demonstrated that several components had values >1, the CUFen Reanalysis and the related aging management plan should have include "other locations where high usage factors might be a concern." This was not done.
17. As a general matter, a CUFen analysis is the function of several variables, each of which has a margin of error. These variables include dissolved oxygen (DO) content, flow and strain rates, loading history, mean stress, oxygen, surface finish, water impurities, and thermal-hydraulics and heat transfer analysis. Thus, Entergy's recently submitted CUFen Reanalysis is subject to a number of errors in the assumption and analyses such that the true value of the CUF for at least some.of the components could exceed 1 during the period of extended operation. In order to determine the margins of error created by each of these assumptions, a "propagation of error" analysis is required.
18. However, Entergy's recent CUFen Reanalysis was submitted, and all relevant documents related to that analysis were provided, and no "propagation of error" analysis was provided. Such an analysis is an essential part of any properly done calculation of the type The State of New York and Riverkeeper reserve the right to file additional amendments to the consolidated contention within 30 days of when Entergy or Westinghouse provide error analyses for the CUFen Reanalysis, the full Computer Code Manual for the WESTEMS code, with all
  • relevant material including a description of thermal-hydraulics models used in the. code or employed in the CUFen Reanalysis, non-publically available references in the Westinghouse evaluations and analyses that relate to the CUFen Reanalysis, and the criteria used for selecting various critical parameters for the CUFen Reanalysis.

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR carried out by Entergy, and, if it existed, it should have already been produced pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.33 6. Entergy has ignored the impact of these potential errors on its CUFen conclusions and has incorrectly asserted that its CUFen Reanalysis demonstrates that there will not be any CUF value in excess of 1.0 during extended operation based on current projections.

Entergy has failed to demonstrate that its CUFen Reanalysis does in fact support the conclusion that no values are >1.0.

19. In its license renewal application for Indian Point Unit 2 and Unit 3, Entergy has elected to proceed under 10 C.F.R. § 54.21(c)(1)(iii), and not under 10 C.F.R. §§ 54.2 1(c)(1)(i) or (ii).
20. Entergy has failed, and continues to fail, to satisfy the requirements of section

.54.21(c)(1)(iii) in several ways:

Entergy has inappropriately limited the number of reactor components that must undergo a fatigue analysis, by both failing to broaden its fatigue analysis beyond the representative components identified in Tables 4.3-13 and 4.3-14 of its original LRA as required by ERPI's MRP-47.(pg.3-4) and the NRC's NUREG-1801 Rev. 1, Vol.2 ( pg. X M-2).

Entergy has failed to provide details on Westinghouse's thermal-hydraulics methodology for analyzing CUFen and a detailed error analysis, so the accuracy of the new fatigue results is in question. Unfortunately, the consequences of inaccuracies may be significant (e.g., several of the new CUFen calculations were very close to unity, and thus the CUF,n may exceed unity if virtually any errors are present). Without an error analysis neither the Petitioners, Staff, nor this Board can confirm that the inherent uncertainties in Westinghouse's fatigue analyses have been adequately taken into account, and whether or not CUFen > 1.0 would be expected during extended plant operations. Notably, Entergy also failed to provide for a review of its analytical methods and the assumptions that were used in the calculations it submitted previously an issue which Petitioners raised in their Joint Consolidated Contention of Petitioners State of New York (No. 26/26-A) and Riverkeeper, Inc. (TC- 1/TC 1-A) - Metal Fatigue which was admitted by the Board.

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR Entergy did not present a fatigue evaluation of important structures and fittings within the RPV (including, but not limited tO, bolting). This is important because in-core -failures of irradiated baffle-to-former bolts havelbeen observed in operating PWRs, and B&W designed PWRs have had fatigue-induced failures of various in-core components even when CUF < 1.0. That is, in-core bolting fatigue failures are actual events, and should be expected to occur again during extended plant operations. In addition, there are many other in-core structures and fittings which will be both highly irradiated (and embrittled) and fatigued-weakened. It is vital that the level of fatigue-induced degradation of the strength and ductility of these components be determined so that their ability to withstand various operational and abnormal loads can be determined.

Entergy did not evaluate the potential failure of highly fatigued structures and fittings (both internal and external to the RPV) due to DBA LOCA , secondary side LOCA and ATWS loads. As a consequence it is not possible to appraise when, during the period of extended operations, that early failure of fatigue-weakened components might occur due to any of-these large thermal/pressure shock-type loads. Significantly, if in-core structures fail this may lead to core blockages and/or a distorted core geometry which may not allow the ability to cool the core subsequent to an accident and can lead to core melting and a challenge to the integrity of the containment. On the other hand, if any fatigue-weakened external structures, which-form part of the primary system's pressure boundary, fail a LOCA may occur.. If so, this will present a significant challenge to the emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) of the disabled nuclear plant.

Entergy's new CUF'en results show that the previously most limiting CUFen were reduced by more than an order of magnitude, which significantly erodes safety margin. Additionally, for the first time, limiting fatigue analysis results were given for components whose CUFen results were not discussed in the initial license renewal application filing. Entergy's new submission examined the residual heat removal (RHR) system piping and nozzles and reported that the CUFen results for these results components were very close to NRC's CUF*n = 1.0 limit. That is, for the IP-2 RHR line, CUFen, = 0.9434 and for the IP-3 RHR line, CUFen = 0.9961. Entergy CUFen Reanalysis, NL-10-082, Attachment 1, at p 2-3.

Since Entergy has refused to provide an error analysis, or even acknowledge if one was performed, it is not possible to determine when the Indian Point reactors might exceed their fatigue limit during extended operations. Also, because the new results for certain components are so close to CUFen = 1.0 limit, almost any reasonable error in these results could lead to a violation of the NRC's CUFen =

1.0 limit.

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-ER Entergy has not confmitted to repair or replace components when the CUFen approaches unity (1.0) despite acknowledging that several critical components have CUFen value greater than 1.0 (in the initial License Renewal Application) or are very close to 1.0 (in the August 9, 2010 NL-10-082 submission). NRC staff and the ASLB have recognized that a licensee should initiate corrective action when the CUFen for a key component approaches 1.0 See LBP 13 at 115, 116, 68 NRC at 139, 140. Moreover, Entergy's flawed methodology for determining the vulnerability of plant components during the period of extended operation, as discussed herein, renders any plans or commitments to repair and replace affected locations utterly flawed and insufficient to ensure proper management of metal fatigue, in violation of 10 C.F.R. § 54.21 (c)(1)(iii).

21. Additionally, based on Fens that have been reported in the literature regarding component fatigue, it would be reasonable to apply a representative correction factor of up to seventeen to the CUFs in Tables 4.3-3 through 4.3-12. See NUREG/CR-6909 and Makoto Higuchi, Revised Proposalof Fatigue Life CorreciionFactorFen for Carbon and Low Alloy Steels in LWR Water Environments, Transactions of the ASME, Vol. 1126 at 436-38 (November.

2004). Moreover, in its most recent CUFen Reanalysis, Entergy continued to apply unrealistically low Fen values that do not adequately account for various uncertainties of the reactor environment (such as flow and strain rates, loading history, mean stress, oxygen, surface finish, and water impurities). To account for such uncertainties, Entergy should have applied the bounding Fen values of 12 and 17 for stainless steel and carbon, respectively, specified in NUREG/CR-6909.

22. Entergy's CUFen Reanalysis relies on general equations from NRC guidance documents without specifying the input parameters used for each transient. Notably, Entergy did not specify dissolved oxygen concentrations during the transients for the calculations of Fen. As Fen varies exponentially and is very sensitive to DO levels, Entergy's CUFen calculations are

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR subject to a significant degree of error, calling into question the accuracy of the refined CUFen values, which Westinghouse and Entergy purport to predict to a ten-thousandth of a decimal point. Accounting for appropriate DO levels would likely cause at least some of Entergy's refined CUFeI values to exceed unity.

23. Entergy fails to specify what heat transfer coefficients were used to derive the refined metal fatigue calculations, or the underlying assumptionsto arrive at such values, which is necessary to determine the accuracy of Entergy's refined CUFen values..
24. Entergy fails to specify how the number of transients was obtained or the underlying assumptions employed to obtain this number.
25. The methodology and process used by Entergy and Westinghouse in conducting the CUFC, Reanalysis is flawed in a number of waysas discussed above including the following:

reasons:

(a) The methodology used by Entergy is deficient because the scope of the components that were subjected to CUFen analysis was too narrow in light of previous CUFen analyses showing values in excess of 1.0 for a number of components.

(b) The methodology used by Entergy is deficient because there is no error analysis and thus the accuracy of the values provided, particularly for those where the number is very close to 1.0, is not established.

(c) The methodology used by Entergy is deficient because there are in-core components that are subject to fatigue as a result of transients that are particularly vulnerable to failure from such transients because of other phenomena, like embrittlement, which has already weakened them, but which components are not included in the AMP CUFen analysis.

(d) The methodology used by Entergy is deficient because there is no documentation to support the reliability of the thermal-hydraulic analysis which is a central part of the CUFe, analysis.

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR (e) The methodology used by Entergy is deficient because in the future, additional CUFen calculations will be made to determine whether'corrective actions are required and those CUFen calculations will rely on the same deficient calculation methodology now being used by.Entergy.

In light of the above, the methodology and process disclosed by Entergy and Westinghouse in connection with recent CUF,, re-analysis of reactor component metal fatigue .does not constitute a meaningful aging management program or comply with the parameters of the guidance and goals contained in NRC Staff guidance (GALL, NUREG- 1801), in that the scope of the program is too narrow and does not encompass or adequately monitor and. manage sufficient components, the CUFen evaluations do not appear to adequately incorporate industry operating experience regarding fatigue cracking, the CUFen evaluations do not include an error analysis, the details of the thermal~hydraulics modeling used in the CUFen evaluations as well as details regarding the methodologies used for selecting numerous parameters and assumptions that were critical to the CUFe, evaluations, are not provided and therefore Entergy cannot demonstrate that it has reliably ensured that corrective or preventative actions or rigorous analysis will occur and thereby cannot ensure that the CUFe, =1.0 limit will not be exceeded during the period of extended operation for critical reactor components.

New and Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR contention, challenging Entergy's aging management plan for addressing metal fatigue (Contentions 26 and TC- 1, respectively). Specifically, the State and Riverkeeper argued that the cumulative usage factor or "CUF," which is a common figure of merit used to appraise the possibility of fatigue failure and which at a nuclear power. plant should always be less than 1.0, exceeded 1.0 as to multiple components in Entergy's LRA.

29. Data stated in Tables 4.3-13 (IP2) and 4.3-14 (IP3) of the LRA indicate that some key reactor components will have a greater potential for cracking due to metal fatigue before the years 2033 and 2035, during the period of extended plant operation for each reactor. Entergy's data is summarized as follows:

Component Plant Environmentally Amount of exceedence Adjusted CUF of 1.0 CUF criterion (Entergy's data)

Pressurizer surge line piping IP2 9.21 nearly 10 times Pressurizer surge line piping IP3 9.21 nearly 10 times Reactor coolant system (RCS) IP2 15.20 over 15 times piping charging system nozzle Pressurizer surge line nozzles IP3 2.35 more than double

30. On January 22, 2008, Entergy submitted an amendment to its original LRA. This LRA amendment was denominated as "LRA Amendment 2." Riverkeeper and the State of New York subsequently filed supplemental or amended contentions in response to LRA Amendment 2

31. On July 31, 2008, the ASLB admitted New York State Contention 26/26-A and Riverkeeper, Inc. Contention TC-1/TC-1A and directed the two Petitioners "to confer and submit a draft of the Consoliddted Contention for the Board's consideration within 21 days 'of [the]

Order." Entergy Nuclear Operation, Inc. (Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3), LBP-08-13, ASLB Mem. & Order at 226-27, 228, 68 NRC 43,217-19(2008).. As directed by the ASLB panel, the State and Riverkeeper submitted a joint consolidated contention on August 21, 2008, andalso advised the Board that the State of New York will be the lead as to this joint consolidated contention. Although the Board's July 31, 2008 Order (LBP-08-13) offered Entergy and NRC Staff the opportunity to respond to the joint contention, neither submitted any pleadings related to the joint consolidated contention.

32. As admitted and consolidated by the Board, Consolidated Contention 26/26-A/TC-1/TC- IA alleged that "Entergy's License Renewal Application Does Not Include An Adequate Plan To Monitor And Manage The Effects Of Aging.Due To Metal Fatigue On Key Reactor Components." The contention critiqued the scope of the components Entergy analyzed, the methodology used, and, in the words of the Board, "the scope of commitment to monitor, manage, and,correct age-related degradation" and "the degree of detail and specificity with which the repair/replacement decision criteria must be defined." LBP-08-1 3, Memorandum and Order (July 31, 2008) at 162.
33. On August 10, 2010, Entergy served on the ASLB and the parties to this proceeding a document entitled "Notification of Entergy's Submittal Regarding Completion of Commitment 33 for Indian Point Units 2 and 3" that enclosed an August 9, 2010 communication,

State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.

In NL-10-082, Entergy submitted the results of additional calculations performed by Westinghouse which purport to show that none of the CUFen calculations for certain components exceeded 1.0. As such, Entergy believes that this calculation resolves commitment number 33 in the NRC Safety Evaluation Report on license renewal. for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 2 and Unit 3 and meets its obligations under 10 C.F.R. § 54.21. Numerous values in Entergy's recent CUFen Reanalysis'are very close to 1.0:

Environmentally Adjusted CUF (as Component Plant reported in NL-10-082)

Pressurizer surge line piping IP2 0.822 RCS piping safety injection nozzle . IP2 0.8553 RHR Class 1 piping IP2 0.9434 Pressurizer surge line piping IP3 0.594 RCS piping charging system nozzle IP3 0.722 RCS piping safety injection nozzle IP3 0.8565 RHR Class 1 piping' IP3 0.9961

34. The State and Riverkeeper challenge the adequacy of Entergy's aging management program in this new and amended contention.
35. Because Entergy has already done a CUFen analysis which shows values in excess of 1.0, in order to perform an adequate re-analysis, Entergy must now expand the scope of the components it examines for metal fatigue.

State of New York and Riverkeeper,.Inc.

  • Newand Amended Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue NRC Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR 36.- Entergy's "Notification of Entergy's Submittal Regarding Completion of Commitment 33 for Indian Point Units 2 and 3" does not expand the scope of the components it should have examined for metal fatigue. While Entergy's recent CUFen Reanalysis did examine some components not examined in the April 2007 LRA, it did not expand, the set of components in its recent CUFen Reanalysis to include the components required under GALL, p.

x DECLARATION OF DR. RICHARD T. LAHEY, JR.

I, Richard T. Lahey, Jr., declare under penalty of perjury that the following is true and correct:

1. I am the EdwardE. Hood ProfessorEmeritus of Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York, a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and an expert in matters relating to the operations, safety, and the aging of nuclear power plants. I have previously submitted a declaration in support of the Notice of Intention to Participate and Petition to Intervene filed by the State of New York in this proceeding on November 30, 2007, which sets forth my qualifications in detail and

'is incorporated by reference. 1 By way of summary, I have held various positions in 1 I also submitted a declaration in support of the State of New York's Supplemental Contention 26-A dated April 7, 2008, which is also incorporated by reference.

the nuclear industry and academia, and served on numerous panels and committees for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the National Academy of Science (NAS). I have also held various positions in the nuclear industry and academia, including Dean of Engineering and Chair of the Department of Nuclear Engineering & Science at RPI, and was lead engineer and manager of various departments responsible for heat transfer mechanisms and core and safety development for the General Electric Company (GE). Over the last 40 years, I have also published numerous books, monographs, chapters, articles, studies, reports, and journal papers on nuclear engineering and nuclear reactor safety technology, and most of these publications have been peer reviewed. My curricula vitae, which more fully describes my educational and professional background and qualifications., is attached to this declaration and is available at: http://www.rpi.edu/l-aheyr/laheyvita.html.

2. The factual statements and the expression of opinion in this declaration are based on, among other things, my best professional knowledge, my extensive professional experience in nuclear reactor technology, and my review of Entergy's Submittal Regarding the Completion of Commitment-33 for Indian Point Units 2 and 3 (Aug. 10, 2010)("Environmental Fatigue Evaluations") that conveyed Entergy's NL-10-082 communication to NRC Staff, two Westinghouse Electric Company LLC environmental fatigue evaluations of Indian Point Unit 2 and Indian Point Unit 3 (received by the State on August 12, 2010), the Applicant's Motion for 2

September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

Summary Disposition of New York State Contentions 26/26A and Riverkeeper Technical Contentions 1/1A (Metal Fatigue of Reactor Components)(Aug. 25, 2010),

and other documents referenced in this declaration. This new declaration is based on, and expands upon, many-of the concerns that I raised in my prior ASLB testimony concerning metal fatigue associated with the relicensing of Indian Point reactors Units 2 & 3 (or IP-2 & 3).

3. As I stated in my initial declaration on this issue in support of the State of New York's Contention 26, in my professional judgment, the applicant failed to demonstrate that it had adequately accounted for the aging phenomena of metal fatigue in Indian Point Unit 2 and Unit 3. My professional judgment has not fundamentally changed based upon Entergy's August 10, 2010 submission of their new Environmental Fatigue Evaluations.
4. Entergy's Indian Point Units 2 & 3 are currently under consideration for 20-year life extensions beyond their original 40-year, design life. If approved, these plants will be licensed for operational levels of about 48 effective full power 2

years (EFPY). These Westinghouse (O designed plants are 4 loop PWRs currently rated at 3,216.4 MWt.. They are sited on the Hudson River in Buchanan, NY, which is about 24 miles north of the New York City (NYC) border. Because of their close proximity to a very highly populated area (i.e., NYC metropolitan area), which is also the world's leading financial center, it is vital that IP Units 2 & 3 fully and 2 The USNRC approved a stretch power increase of 3.26% for IP-2 in 2004 and a 4.85% increase for IP-3 in 2005; IP-2 and IP-3 also received 1.4% power uprates in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

3 September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

unambiguously meet all reasonable and applicable criteria for safe operation. This is particularly true when considering life extension, since fatigue failures are much more likely as the plants age.

5. The standard review plan of the USNRC for the license renewal*

applications of nuclear power plants is given in NUREG-1800, Rev. 1 (Standard Review Plan). This plan is a highly prescriptive process which allows little opportunity for the discovery of any new age-related safety concerns. However, I believe that all important safety concerns must be addressed to assure the health and safety of the American public during extended plant operations. The NRC Staff have also prepared a guidance document entitled the "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report," NUREG-1801, Rev. 1, in which Staff seeks to describe Aging Management Programs (AMP) for the extended operations of nuclear power plants. In the case of fatigue, Entergy has now submitted further environmental fatigue evaluations for both Indian Point Unit 2 and Unit 3, which were prepared by Westinghouse, and has thus elected to try and close out metal fatigue issues during the ASLB relicensing hearings. Unfortunately, as will be discussed subsequently, their new fatigue analyses are incomplete, inadequate and unacceptable.

6. While the USNRC's review process is fairly comprehensive, it fails to consider some very important age-related safety issues associated with the extended operation of a pressurized water nuclear reactor (PWR) power plant. For example, the fatigue of various highly irradiated (and embrittled) structures and 4

September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

fittings within the reactor pressure vessels (RPV) due to operational and abnormal transients (e.g., SCRAMs). In addition, the impact of thermal and pressure shock loads on the fatigue-weakened structures and fittings both outside and inside the RPV. Typical shock loads include those associated with the plant's design basis accident (DBA) loss of coolant accident (LOCA), various secondary side LOCAs and anticipated transients without SCRAM (ATWS) events. In my opinion this is an extremely serious deficiency in the USNRC's standard review plan for plant life extension as well as Entergy's aging management plan (AMP).

7. Fatigue is a very important age-related safety concern, particularly when plant life extension is being considered. In fact, it is one of the primary things that must be considered when doing a time-limited aging analysis (TLAA) or developing an aging management program for the extended operation of a power reactor. A common figure of merit used in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code [Section-III] to appraise the possibility of fatigue failure is the cumulative usage factor (CUF), which is the ratio of the number of cycles experienced divided by the number of allowable cycles. The maximum number of cycles which can be experienced by a structure or component before cracking is expected occurs when CUF = 1.0, and one should have CUF < 1.0 during the period of plant operation. In addition, since the high pressure/temperature primary coolant is known [e.g., NUREG/CR-6909] to degrade the fatigue life of immersed metal structures and components, the USNRC also requires that environmental corrections be applied to the calculated CUF, and it specifies formulas/curves to be 5

September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

used for these corrections [e.g., NUREG/CR-5704; NUREG/CR-6583]. Moreover, the environmentally-adjusted fatigue analyses must satisfy CUFen < 1.0 during extended plant operations.

8. In the original relicensing submittal for IP Units 2 & 3, Entergy analyzed typical limiting PWR structures and fittings using some of those given in NUREG/CR-6260 [pg. 5-62], and this analysis showed that some important structures and components will significantly exceed the environmentally-adjusted CUFen 1.0 criterion during the proposed extended operations period. In particular, the pressurizer surge line and nozzle (on the primary side), the reactor coolant system charging system nozzle, the steam generator main feed water nozzles and tube/tube-sheet welds (on the secondary side), and the upper joint canopy of the IP-2 control rod drive mechanisms, all had unacceptably high CUFen (e.g., CUFen > 9.0 for the IP-2 and IP-3 pressurizer surge lines and CUFen >15 for the IP-2 RCS charging system nozzle [LRA-Section 4]). In my opinion, if these results can not be conclusively shown to be invalid by doing more detailed fatigue analyses, the deficient components should be replaced/repaired prior to extended operations; indeed, it would be the only responsible thing to do since the last thing one wants is to induce a primary or secondary side LOCA due to a fatigue failure. In any event, once CUFe, violations are found Entergy was expected [NUREG- 1801, Rev. 1, Vol. 2, pg. X M-2; EPRI, MRP-47; "Guidelines for Addressing Fatigue Environmental Effects in a Licensing Renewal Application," pg. 3-4 (2005)] to also 6

September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

do fatigue analyses for other important reactor structures and fittings. However, this was not done.

9. Anyway, in order to perform more mechanistic, and presumably less conservative, fatigue evaluations, Entergy contracted with Westinghouse (W) to redo the fatigue analyses for IP-2 and IP-3. These results were reported separately

[WCAP-17199-P, "Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian Point Unit 2" (June 2010) & WCAP-17200-P, "Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian Point Unit 3" (June 2010)]. The calculations were done using WESTEMS, a proprietary computer code of W; however the full documentation for this code was not provided to me for review. 3 Without being able to review the WESTEMS code manuals, in which the detailed assumptions and models (particularly for the thermal-hydraulics) used by 3y are presumably given, it is not possible to fully understand and critique the validity of Entergy's new CUFen results.

10. The new CUFen results filed with the ASLB by Entergy ["Applicant's Motion for Summary Disposition of NYS Contentions 26/26A & Riverkeeper Technical Contentions 1/1A (Metal Fatigue of Reactor Components)" (August 25, 2010)] show that the previously most limiting CUFen were reduced by more than an order of magnitude (i.e., the results for the pressurizer surge line piping and RCS piping charging system nozzle), which is an astonishing change, and one that must 3 Two brief proprietary excerpts of the WESTEMS computer code manual were provided to the State of New York on Friday evening, September 3, 2010. I reviewed these brief excerpts, but they did not shed light on the thermal-hydraulics models employed in the WESTEMS code.

7 September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

be very carefully reviewed and verified since it significantly erodes safety margin.

Additionally, for the first time, limiting fatigue analysis results were given for the residual heat removal (RHR) system piping and nozzles, and the results for these components were very close to the unity limit. That is, for the IP-2 RHR line, CUFen

= 0.9434 and for the IP-3 RHR line, CUFen = 0.9961. Thus, almost any reasonable error in these results could lead to a violation of the USNRC's CUFen= 1.0 limit.

11. Unfortunately an error analysis was not made available by either Entergy or Westinghouse, nor were any results provided showing that the computational results exhibited nodal convergence, or how they were bench-marked against representative experimental data andlor analytical solutions. Normally, one would expect to see a detailed "propagation-of-error" type of analysis [e.g.,

Vardeman & Jobe, "Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis,'"' Duxbury, pp.

310-311 (2001)] to determine the overall uncertainty in the CUFen results given by W. Indeed, all engineering analyses are based on mathematical models of reality and assumptions which inherently involve some level of error. As a consequence, Without a well documented error analysis, the accuracy of Entergy's and Westinghouse's new fatigue results are quite uncertain. What is clear, however, is that there are many possible sources of error in these results. For example:

(i) 8 September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

-(ii)

(iii) 9 September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

(iv)

(v)

In any event, in my opinion, the accuracy of W's new fatigue evaluations, certainly those that are close to CUFen = 1.0, are quite uncertain and this uncertainty must be quantified with a detailed error analysis.

12. It is also significant to note that in-core fatigue failures of irradiated baffle-to-former bolts have been observed in operating PWRs [e.g., WCAP-14577, Rev. 1, "License Renewal Evaluation: Aging Renewal Evaluation: Aging Management of Reactor Internals," pg. 2-29 (Oct. 2000); USNRC Staff Report, "Final Safety Evaluation of by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Concerning.

Westinghouse Owners Group Report, WCAP-14575, Revision 1, License Renewal Evaluation: Aging Management for Class 1 Piping and Associated Pressure Boundary Components, Project No. 686," (Nov. 8, 2000)] and B&W designed PWRs have had fatigue-induced failures of various in-core components even when CUF <

10 September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

1.0 (presumably due to undetected manufacturing flaws) [Entergy Email: Esquillo to Stuard et al.,

Subject:

",Section XI - Cracking" (8/30/06)]. Moreover, the possible effect of fatigue on the failure of in-core components was apparently known to Entergy [Entergy Email: Batch to Finnin,

Subject:

"Need to, Evaluate .High Cycle Fatigue to IPEC Baffle Bolts?" (12/28/06)]. Unlike postulated nuclear reactor accidents, the fatigue failures of in-core bolts are actuarial events that have happened and will likely happen again for sufficiently stressed materials.

Moreover, it is not possible to inspect (e.g., using UT) all the bolts within a RPV, and the nuclear industry has recommended [EPRI Report, MRP-228; "Materials Reliability Program: Inspection Standard for PWR Internals," (July 2009)] that an analysis be done to support continued operations if bolt failures are found during in-core non-destructive evaluations (NDE). However, it appears that these analyses will not take into account the various accident-induced pressure/thermal shock.

loads within the RPV, such as those due to a DBA LOCA. In this regard it is important to note that, unlike for the primary piping system, in-core DBA LOCA loads were not affected by the leak-before-break (LLB) rulings of the USNRC

[NUREG/CR-4572; NUREG/CR-1061, Vol. 3; 10 C.R.F. Part 50, Appendix-A]. In any event, I believe that not doing an adequate safety analysis is totally unacceptable since further shock-load-induced bolting failures may lead to a blocked or distorted core geometry which, in turn, may not allow the ability to cool the core and can lead to core melting.

11 September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

13. Like all mechanical systems, as nuclear power plants exceed their original design life (i.e., 40 years) they begin to wear out and thus, to assure safe operation during plant life extension, it is important not to erode the original design-basis safety factors in the interest of keeping the plants running. In particular, in addition to the previously discussed bolting fatigue failure concerns, many other highly irradiated in-core structures and fittings (e.g., core baffles, formers, etc.) will be subjected to some of the same (and even more) fatigue-inducing transients as those which effect the components that are external to the RPV (e.g.,

those that were analyzed by WD. However, no fatigue analysis of these important in-core components was done or provided and there was apparently no recognition of the importance of DBA LOCA, secondary side LOCA and ATWS loads on the integrity of these structures. As for in-core bolting, I believe that not doing a proper fatigue and safety analysis of these in-core structures and fittings is completely unacceptable since the shock-load-induced failure of in-core components may lead to a distorted core geometry, which may, in turn, not allow the ability to cool the core and result in core melting.

14. In summary, there are important age-related safety issues associated with the operation of IP Units 2 & 3 during a proposed 20-year life extension. In particular, there is a need to properly analyze and/or replace/repair components and structures which may reach or exceed their fatigue life prior to the end of extended plant operations. In my opinion, the revised fatigue analyses done by W for Entergy are not sufficient to allow the closure of Commitent-33 for IP-2 & IP-3. That is, 12 September 8, 2010 Lahey Declaration

while a re-analysis of fatigue was performed for Entergy by W, it was not possible to thoroughly review the details of the models and assumptions used in these fatigue evaluations and there was no accompanying error analysis. Thus, the accuracy and uncertainty of these calculations (several of which were very close to CUFen 1.0) is unclear. Moreover, there were no fatigue. evaluations done for various important irradiated and embrittled structures and fittings within the RPV, nor were was there any analyses presented showing the effect of various thermal/pressure shock loads on the limiting fatigued structures both within and outside the RPV. Thus, without a more complete fatigue and safety analysis (including a detailed error analysis) there is no valid technical basis on which to claim that the aging phenomena associated with metal fatigue has been adequately addressed by Entergy.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

x DECLARATION OF DR. JORAM HOPENFELD IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONERS STATE OF NEW YORK AND RIVERKEEPER, INC.'S NEW AND REVISED CONTENTION CONCERNING METAL FATIGUE

'Jram Hopenfeld; hereby declares under penalty of perjury that the following is true and correct:

1. I have been retained by Riverkeeper, Inc. ("Riverkeeper") as an expert witness in proceedings concerning the application by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. ("Entergy") for the renewal of two separate operating licenses for the nuclear power generating facilities located at Indian Point on the east bank of the Hudson River in the Village of Buchanan, Westchester County, New York, for twenty years beyond their current expiration dates.
2. I submit this declaration in support of the State of New York and Riverkeeper's New and Revised Contention concerning Entergy' s inadequate plan to monitor and manage the effects of aging due to metal fatigue on key reactor components.
3. My professional and educational qualifications are described in the curriculum vitae appended hereto as Attachment 1. Briefly summarized, I am an expert in the field relating to nuclear power plant aging management. I am a mechanical engineer and hold a doctorate in mechanical engineering. I have 45 years of professional experience in the fields of thermal-hydraulics, material/environment interaction instrumentation, design, project management, and nuclear safety regulation, including 18 years in the employ of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC").
4. My extensive professional experience has afforded me with knowledge and expertise regarding the material degradation phenomenon known as "metal fatigue," that is, the fatigue or "cyclic stress" of metal parts due to repeated stresses during plant operation. Most recently, I was a technical consultant and expert witness for the New England Coalition in the Declaration of Dr. Joram Hopenfeld in Support of State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.'s New and Revised Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue (September 9, 2010)

Vermont Yankee license renewal proceeding, where I testified at an adjudicatory hearing concerning metal fatigue.

5. I reviewed the April 30, 2007 License Renewal Application ("LRA") submitted by Entergy to renew the operating licenses for Indian Point Units 2 and 3, and assisted Riverkeeper with the preparation of Contention TC-1, which challenged Entergy's aging management plan for addressing metal fatigue at Indian Point during the proposed period of extended operation.
6. I reviewed Entergy's January 22,2008 amendment to its original LRA, in which Entergy purported to provide additional information regarding its aging management program for addressing metal fatigue, and assisted Riverkeeper with the preparation of an amended contention (Riverkeeper Contention TC1-A) to articulate the ongoing deficiencies with Entergy's plan to deal with metal fatigue.
7. I have reviewed Entergy's submission to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

("ASLB") dated August 10, 2010 entitled 'Notification of Entergy's Submittal Regarding Completion of Commitment 33 for Indian Point Units 2 and 3," NL-1 0-082. I have also reviewed two Westinghouse proprietary documents provided by Entergy pursuant to the parties' mandatory disclosure obligation, entitled "Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian-Point Unit 2" and "Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian Point Unit 3," which were received by Riverkeeper on August 23, 2010. After a review of these documents, for the reasons explained more fully below, it remains my professional opinion that Entergy has, to date, failed to demonstrate that the affects of metal,fatigue will be adequately managed at Indian Point during the proposed period of extended operation.

Entergy's "Refimed" Fatigue Evaluations

8. Entergy's LRA included two tables (4.3-13 and 4.3-14) containing values of environmentally adjusted cumulative usage factors ("CUFen") for representative plant components. Four of these values exceeded unity, indicating susceptibility to the aging effects of metal fatigue during the period of extended operation.. For several of the representative components listed in these tables, Entergy did not perform a fatigue analysis to discern the value of the CUFen.
9. Entergy's August 2010 "refined" fatigue analysis undertook to recalculate the CUFen values for the representative components of LRA tables 4.3-13 and 4.3-14. Entergy's new assessment now purports to determine valid CUFen values that are less than 1.0 (i.e., unity) for the previously problematic components, and those components for which CIUFen values were previously undetermined.
10. However, the methodology employed to calculate Entergy's new CUFen calculations is, as yet, highly suspect and questionable, calling into question the validity of results. While Entergy describes the general methodology employed to derive the revised calculations, many critical underlying assumptions reveal the potential for a wide margin of error.

2 Declaration of Dr. Joram Hopenfeld in Support of State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.'s New and Revised Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue (September 9, 2010)

.See NUREG/CR-6909; EnvFat 1.0 User's Manual, Version 1.0 (May 2009), IPECPROP00056783 1; Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian Point Unit 2, WCAP-17199-P, Revision 0 (Westinghouse, June 2010); Environmental Fatigue Evaluation for Indian Point Unit 3, WCAP-1 7200-P, Revision 0 (Westinghouse, June 2010)).

The Fen equations articulated in NUREG/CR-6909 are derived from laboratory tests on the effect of strain and coolant environments on fatigue life. In such equations, the Fen is expressed in terms of dissolved oxygen, temperature, sulfur content, and strain rate for several materials of interest. However, identifying the relevant terms is only the beginning of the inquiry; because significant differences exist between the laboratory and the reactor environments, there are numerous uncertainties in applying such Fen equations to reactor components, including flow and strain rates, loading history, mean stress, oxygen, surface finish, and water impurities. See NUREG/CR-6909, pg. 72 (discussing 13 uncertainties in applying Fen equations to actual reactor components). To appropriately apply such Fen equations to actual reactor components, the results must be adjusted to account for the varying parameters. Entergy has presented no evidence to suggest that the methodology employed to re-calculate CUFen appropriately considered all relevant factors. In consideration of relevant uncertainties, NUREG/CR-6909 specifies appropriate bounding Fen values of 12 and 17 for stainless steel and carbon, respectively. To thecontrary, Entergy -continues to use unrealistically low Fen values that are, as yet, not justified in light of the wide range of parameters unaccounted, for.

11. One of the largest uncertainties in determining appropriate Fen values is the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the water at the surface of each component during the transient. The Fen varies exponentially with the DO and is, therefore, sensitive to the uncertainties in the DO concentration. Because DO has a negative solubility coefficient in water, the amount of oxygen dissolved in the coolant increases significantly during shutdown transients.

Data of the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI) on actual oxygen concentrations in a reactor during start up and shut downs shows that oxygen .concentrations vary by more than an order of magnitude with the change in temperature. See R&D Status Report, EPRI Journal (Jan/Feb 1983). Since DO levels are not measured at the surface of reactor components during transients, the actual DO levels, and resulting Fen, are subject to uncertainties. For example, an uncertaintythe predicting of Fen five by, in DOaco levels ofat theatsurface five of a given cor onent could lead to under-a mnimt=um.

NRC reports specify that th "the r n values of temperature and DO may be conservatively taken as the maximum values for i n . e U EG CR 6 8 t p .7 .

E In an y ev ent , Enter g y' s ne w met al fatigue evaluation fails to specify DO values used in the calculations of Fen for each component An excerpt of this document was provided to Riverkeeper on September 3, 2010.

3 Declaration of Dr. Joram Hopenfeld in Support of State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.'s New and Revised Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue (September 9, 2010)

during the transients; without an understanding of the DO levels used in each transient for the calculations of Fen, it is impossible to conclude that the claimed CUFen values, which Westinghouse and Entergy's recent refined analysis purport to predict to a ten-thousandth of a decimal point, are accurate.

12. Furthermore, Entergy's evaluation does not specify the heat transfer coefficients used for each component during the transients. The CUFen value will vary greatly depending on the heat transfer coefficient. The heat transferred to the surface reactor components during transients controls the cyclic thermal stresses and, therefore, directly affects the CUFen. The local heat transfer rate primarily depends on component geometry, flow rate, and the local temperature difference between the coolant and the surface of the component. Heat transfer rates are calculated by multiplying an experimental heat transfer coefficient, "h", by the local temperature difference A T. The heat transfer coefficient has been measured for many different geometries -and flow conditions and is known for well-defined conditions. The flow at the surface of reactor components, however, is not well defined during transients and, therefore, approximations and assumptions are required in selecting the proper h for a given set of conditions. Such approximations lead to uncertainties in the CUFen. Typical variations in h.

could increase stress by a factor of 2. To assess the uncertainty of h, it is imperative to-know the component geometry, the piping geometry upstream of the component, the flow velocities, and the corresponding expressions for h, none of which are specified in Entergy'.s new evaluation.

-Without an understanding of the values ofhhand the assumptions used to arrive at such values, the methodology employed by Entergy to re-calculate CUFen remains highly questionable and it is impossible to conclude that Entergy's new CUFen calculations are accurate to the degree Entergy now claims.

13. Moreover, the number of transients that were used in the calculations directly affects the CUFen. Because the actual number transients during the extended period of operation is not known, Entergy made certain unknown assumptions in obtaining this number. Entergy's.

documentation related to the newly calculated CUFen values fails to describe how the number of transients was obtained or the underlying assumptions employed. This serves to cast further doubt upon methodology employed by Entergy and the accuracy of Entergy's new calculations.

14. Given the large uncertainties in the input parameters and other assumptions used to generate the revised metal fatigue calculations, the methodology employed by Entergy suggests the likelihood of a wide margin of error. Accordingly, the CUFen values now cited by Entergy may underestimate the detrimental effects of the environment on fatigue strength of the subject components. Notably, many of the revised calculations remain very close to unity and with a margin of error to account for varying input data and other assumptions, such numbers could be considerably higher than the 1.0 regulatory threshold.
15. Based on the foregoing, Entergy's revised CUFen calculations can not be used as the basis for concluding that the aging effects of metal fatigue will be adequately managed at Indian Point during the period of extended operation.

4 Declaration of Dr. Joram Hopenfeld in Support of State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.'s New and Revised Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue (September 9, 2010)

Inadequacy of Entergy's Aging Management Plan ("AMP") for Metal Fatigue

16. Entergy has failed to demonstrate that it has a program to monitor, manage, and correct metal fatigue related degradation sufficient to comply with 10 C.F.R. § 54.21 (c), or the regulatory guidance of NUREG-1801, GenericAging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report.
17. In response to CUFen values in excess of regulatory limits, Entergy opted to conduct additional analyses, and update its calculations. As explained above, despite Entergy's assertions that the recalculated usage factors are within proper limits, there is paltry evidence to suggest that the recalculated CUFen values are accurate to the degree Entergy now claims. This fails to comply with the AMP articulated in the GALL Report, which specifies that acceptable corrective action includes "a more rigorous analysis of the component to demonstrate tLhat the design code limitwill not be exceeded during the extended period of operation." NUREG-1801

§ X.M1, Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary, ¶ 7. Based on the discussion above, Entergy's August 2010 metal fatigue calculations fail to make such a demonstration.

'18. Given Entergy's previous-findings in its initial April 2007 LRA that CUFen values for various components exceeded the regulatory threshold,and the questionable nature of the recently revised Calculations to demonstrate that the CUFen values of such components would remain under 1.0, a necessary part of an effective plan to moritor.for metal fatigue is to expand the Scope of the fatigue analysis beyond simply representative components, to identify other components whose CUF may be greater than 1.0. However, Entergy continues to refuse to do so. Entergy must identify additional reactor locations for potential high susceptibility to metal fatigue as prescribed by industry guidance document, MRP-47, Revision 1, Electric Power Research Institute, MaterialsReliability Program: Guidelinesfor Addressing Fatigue EnvironmentalEffects in a License Renewal Application at 3-4 (2005), in order to ensure that appropriate aging management measures are taken in a timely fashion. Entergy's failure to expand its fatigue analysis is inconsistent with the GALL Report AMP, which specifies that

"[f]or programs that monitor a sample of high fatigue usage. locations, corrective actions include a review of additionalaffected reactor coolant pressure boundary locations," and that sample locations identified in NUREG/CR-6260 are simply the "minimum" set of components to analyze. NUREG-1801 § X.M1, Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary, ¶¶ 5, 7 (emphasis added).

19. The lack of a reliable, transparent, complete assessment of CUFen values for susceptible plant components at Indian Point fails to comply with the "Scope of Program" articulated in the GALL Report, which specifies that a program for managing metal fatigue must include adequate "preventativemeasures to mitigate fatigue cracking of metal components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary caused by anticipated cyclic strains in the material." NUREG-1801 § X.M1, ¶ 1 (emphasis added).
20. Entergy's plans for correcting metal fatigue related degradation depend initially upon calculating the vulnerability of plant components. Indeed, Entergy intends to rely upon future CUFen calculations throughout the period of extended operation to manage metal fatigue.

Entergy's calculations are meant to signify when components require inspection, monitoring, 5

Declaration of Dr. Joram Hopenfeld in Support of State of New York and Riverkeeper, Inc.'s New and Revised Contention Concerning Metal Fatigue (September 9, 2010)

repair, or replacement, and, according to Entergy, will trigger when such actions are taken.

Accordingly, the validity of Entergy's-monitoring program depends upon the accuracy of the calculations of the CUFen. Thus, Entergy's flawed methodology for calculating CUFen, as discussed above, which Entergy ostensibly intends to employ throughout the period of extended operation, as well as Entergy's refusal to expand the scope of components to be assessed, renders Entergy's vague commitments to inspect, repair, and replace affected locations insufficient to ensure proper management of metal fatigue during the license renewal term.

21. In light of the absence of comprehensive, accurate metal fatigue calculations to properly guide Entergy's aging management efforts, Entergy has failed to define specific criteria to assure that susceptible components are inspected, monitored, repaired, or replaced in a timely manner. Once components with high CUFs have been properly identified, Entergy must describe a fatigue management plan for each such component that should, at a minimum, rank components with respect to their consequences of failure, establish criteria for repair versus defect monitoring, and establish criteria for the frequency of the inspection (considering for example defect size changes and uncertainties in the stress analysis and instrumentation), and allow for independent and impartial reviews of scope and frequency of inspection.

Conclusion

22. For the foregoing reasons, Entergy has failed to demonstrate that the aging effects of metal fatigue will be adequately managed for the. period of extended operation, as required by 10 C.F.R. § 54.21.
