CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 DOCKET NUMBER 50 - 302 / LICENSE NUMBER DPR - 72 ENCLOSURE I RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure 1 3F0611-03 Page 1 of 6 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RAI 3.3.2.2.4-2

Background

NUREG-1800, "Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants," (SRP-LR) Section 3.3.2.2.4, "Cracking due to Stress Corrosion Cracking and Cyclic Loading," item 1 recommends further evaluation of stainless steel non-regenerative heat exchanger components exposed to high temperature treated borated water in the chemical and volume control system. This section of the SRP-LR states that the effectiveness of the water chemistry control program should be verified to ensure cracking is not occurring and adds that an acceptable verification program includes temperature and radioactivity monitoring of the shell side water and eddy current testing of the tubes.

License renewal application (LRA) Table 3.3.2-42, "Make Up &Purification System," states that stainless steel components exposed to high temperature treated water in the letdown coolers are being age managed for cracking due to stress corrosion cracking and cyclic loading by item 3.3.1-7 and the further evaluation section 3.3.2.2.4 item 1. However, stainless steel components exposed to high temperature treated water in the Make Up & Purification System seal return coolers are being age managed by item 3.3.1-90, which does not require the performance of further evaluation section 3.3.2.2.4 item 1.

Issue It is not clear to the staff why the Make Up &Purification System letdown coolers and seal return coolers are age managed differently given that these coolers are contained in the same system, constructed of the same material, and presumably share common environments and aging effects. Specifically, it is not clear how this item would otherwise address the management of cracking due to stress corrosion cracking and cyclic loading.

Request Address how this item would otherwise verify the Water Chemistry Control Program's effectiveness to manage cracking due to stress corrosion cracking and cyclic loading.

Additionally, address the basis for not performing eddy current testing.

Response

The seal return coolers at Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) will be managed similarly to the letdown coolers. The aging management strategy was described in the Supplemental Response to RAI 3.3.2.2.4-1 submitted on April 26, 2011 (ADAMS Accession ML11117A314).

Consistent with that strategy, cracking is managed using the Water Chemistry Program with verification of program effectiveness provided by the One-Time Inspection Program. The Water Chemistry Program relies on monitoring and control of water chemistry to effectively mitigate aging effects on component surfaces that are exposed to water as a process fluid. The One-Time Inspection Program is a sampling-basedprogram that uses one-time inspections to verify

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure 1 3F0611-03 Page 2 of 6 the effectiveness of an aging management program. While access limitations may preempt the seal return coolers from being selected for inspection, inspections will be performed of surrogate components having similar material, similar form, and exposed to a comparable environment to verify the effectiveness of the Water Chemistry Program.

This response involves a change to the LRA; refer to the information in Enclosure 2.

RAI B.3.3-1

Background

NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report" aging management program (AMP) X.S1, "Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress," states that the existing prestressing forces in the containment tendon should not be below the Minimum Required Value (MRV) or the minimum required prestressing force prior to the next scheduled inspection, as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(viii)(B).

Issue During the audit the staff reviewed the program basis and implementation documents for the applicant's AMP, "Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program." In these documents, the MRV, for the dome, vertical, and hoop tendons, is noted as 1215 Kips, 1149 Kips, and 1252 Kips respectively. However, as a result of concrete delamination found during the hydro-demolition of the reactor building wall for steam generator replacement in 2009, all of the vertical and more than half of the hoop tendons have to be retensioned. In addition, the concrete containment has been reanalyzed and MRV for prestressing tendons revised.

Request Provide the revised MRVs for dome, hoop, and vertical tendons. In addition, provide plans and schedule for revising the affected the portions of the program basis and implementation documents for the Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program AMP.

Response

Subsequent to the March 1 - 3, 2011 NRC staff audit of the License Renewal aging management program basis and implementation documents at CR-3, a new concrete delamination was identified in Reactor Building Bay 5-6 during retensioning of the containment tendons in mid-March 2011. As a result, the LRA and responses to RAIs previously submitted to the NRC concerning the Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program have been impacted. Accordingly, the following response is provided to address the RAI and the recent operatingexperience:

CR-3 will develop and submit a plant-specific Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program. The plant-specific AMP will be submitted to the NRC for review at least one year prior to the period of extended operation (PEO) and will address plant operating experience from the concrete delaminations and include any revised MRVs and plans and schedules for revising the plant-specific program basis and implementation documents. The plant-specific AMP will follow the criteria of NUREG-1800, SRP-LR, Revision 2, and will ensure aging effects are adequately

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure 1 3F0611-03 Page 3 of 6 managed during the PEO. In addition, CR-3 will develop and submit a revised Tendon Stress Relaxation Analysis and evaluation as part of the plant-specific Concrete Containment Tendon PrestressProgram commitment.

This response has resulted in changes to the LRA, previous RAI Responses, and in development of new License Renewal Commitment #32. Refer to the information provided in for the LRA and Commitment #32 and in Enclosure 3 for previous RAI responses.

RAI B.3.3-2

Background

GALL AMP X.S1 recommends that the estimated and measured prestressing forces be plotted against time, and the predicted lower limit (PLL), MRV, and trending lines are developed for the period of extended operation. NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.35.1 "Determining Prestressing Forces for Inspection of Prestressed Concrete Containments" provides guidance for calculating PLL and MRV. The trend line represents the trend of prestressing forces based on the actual measured forces. NRC Information Notice, IN 99-10 provides guidance for constructing the trend line.

Issue In a letter dated December 8, 2010, the applicant, in response to request for additional information (RAI) number RAI 4.5.1-1, stated that regression analyses and log-linear trend plots for the re-tensioned vertical and hoop tendons will be performed as a part of the Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program prior to the period of extended operation. In addition, in a letter dated February 25, 2011, the applicant provided a schedule for performing surveillance of the re-tensioned vertical and hoop tendons. According to this schedule, the applicant plans to perform surveillance of the hoop and the vertical tendons only once (during 2011-2012) prior to the period of extended operation.

Request Provide details on how the regression analyses and log-linear trend plots for the re-tensioned vertical and hoop tendons will be performed using data collected during only one surveillance prior to period of extended operation.

Response

A new concrete delamination was identified in Reactor Building Bay 5-6 during retensioning of the containment tendons in mid-March 2011. As a result, the LRA and responses to RAIs previously submitted to the NRC concerning the Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program have been impacted. Accordingly, the following response is provided to address the RAI and the recent operating experience:

CR-3 will develop and submit a plant-specific Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program. The plant-specificAMP will be submitted to the NRC for review at least one year prior to the PEO. The AMP will addressplant operatingexperience from the concrete delaminations; and include details for collecting surveillance data, performing the regression analyses and log-

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure 1 3F0611-03 Page 4 of 6 linear trend plots, and a schedule for performing tendon surveillances. The plant-specific AMP will follow the criteria of NUREG-1800, SRP-LR, Revision 2. In addition, CR-3 will develop and submit a revised Tendon Stress Relaxation Analysis and evaluation as part of the plant-specific Concrete Containment Tendon PrestressProgram commitment.

This response has resulted in changes to the LRA, previous RAI Responses, and in development of a new License Renewal Commitment #32. Refer to the information provided in for the LRA and Commitment #32 and in Enclosure 3 for previous RAI responses.

RAI B.3.3-3

Background

In response to RAI 4.5.1-1, the applicant stated that as a result of concrete delamination found during the hydro-demolition of the reactor building wall for steam generator replacement in 2009, all of the vertical and more than half of the hoop tendons have to be retensioned. The applicant further stated that time dependent losses were used in the calculation for concrete creep, concrete shrinkage, and prestressing steel relaxation. Updated values were used for creep based on original concrete used at Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3).

For subsequent surveillances of the vertical tendons and re-tensioned hoop tendons, individual predicted tendon prestress will be calculated in a similar manner.

Issue Retensioning of all of the vertical and more than half of the hoop tendons will affect the forces in the dome and the undisturbed hoop tendons. In addition, the trend lines previously developed for the undisturbed dome and hoop tendons are not based on updated values of concrete creep.

Documents reviewed by the staff during the audit indicate that the applicant plans to use the previously calculated trend lines for the dome and undisturbed hoop tendons.

Request Explain why the previously calculated trend lines for the dome and undisturbed hoop tendons are acceptable for use during the future surveillances. In addition, describe how two sets of hoop tendons (re-stressed and undisturbed) will be considered for surveillances during the period of extended operation since the MRV and trend lines for the two sets of hoop tendons may be different. Will the two sets of hoop tendons (re-stressed and undisturbed) be treated as two different tendon groups for future surveillances during the period of extended operation?

Response

A new concrete delamination was identified in Reactor Building Bay 5-6 during retensioning of the containment tendons in mid-March 2011. As a result, the LRA and responses to RAIs previously submitted to the NRC concerning the Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program have been impacted. Accordingly, the following response is provided to address the RAI and the recent operating experience:

CR-3 will develop and submit a plant-specific Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program. The plant-specificAMP will be submitted to the NRC for review at least one year prior

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure 1 3F0611-03 Page 5 of 6 to the PEO. The AMP will address plant operating experience from the recent concrete delaminations; and provide a discussion of tendon surveillances, including re-stressed tendons, and any remaining undisturbed tendons. The plant-specific AMP will follow the criteria of NUREG-1800, SRP-LR, Revision 2. In addition, CR-3 will develop and submit a revised Tendon Stress Relaxation Analysis and evaluation as part of the plant-specific Concrete Containment Tendon PrestressProgram commitment.

This response has resulted in changes to the LRA, previous RAI Responses, and in development of a new License Renewal Commitment #32. Refer to the information provided in for the LRA and Commitment #32 and in Enclosure 3 for previous RAI responses.

RAI B.3.3-4

Background

GALL AMP X.S1 program consists of an assessment of inspections performed in accordance with the requirements of Subsection IWL of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Section X1, as supplemented by the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(viii).

ASME Section Xl, Subsection IWL, Article IWL-2521 states, "one tendon of each type (as defined in Table IWL-2521-1) shall be selected from the first year inspection sample and designated as a common tendon. Each common tendon shall be examined during each inspection. A common tendon shall not be detensioned unless required by IWL-3300; and if a common tendon is detensioned, another common tendon of the same type shall be selected from the first year inspection sample."

Issue As a result of concrete delamination found during the hydro-demolition of the reactor building wall for steam generator replacement in 2009, all of the vertical and more than half of the hoop tendons have to be retensioned. These retensioned tendons include the common vertical tendon and may also include common hoop tendon.

Request Provide information on how common hoop and vertical tendons will be selected since all of the vertical and more than half of the hoop tendons have been retensioned due to concrete delamination found during the hydro-demolition of the reactor building wall for steam generator replacement in 2009.

Response

A new concrete delamination was identified in Reactor Building Bay 5-6, during retensioning of the containment tendons in mid-March 2011. As a result, the LRA and responses to RAIs previously submitted to the NRC concerning the Concrete Containment Tendon Prestress Program have been impacted. Accordingly, the following response is provided to address the RAI and the recent operatingexperience:
