REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION JUNE 15, 2011 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC or the Applicant) held a telephone conference call on June 15, 2011, to discuss and clarify the following responses to requests for additional information (RAIs) concerning the license renewal application (LRA).
Response to RAIs 2.3.3.11-01 and 2.3.3.12-01 on April 15, 2011 Discussion:
The staff stated that, in the applicants response to RAIs 2.3.3.11-01 and 2.3.3.12-01 dated April 15, 2011, that fluid level gauge and sight glass components are excluded from AMR per 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1)(i), as water level indicators. However, this regulation specifies that AMR applies to components that perform an intended function without moving parts or without a change in configuration or properties. The exclusions from AMR are intended for components that actively perform an intended function. The staffs expectation is that the fluid level gauge and sight glass perform their intended function without moving parts or a change in configuration, and additionally constitute part of the pressure boundary for their associated tanks. As such, they should have been included for AMR.
The applicant stated that this was an error. The applicant stated that fluid level gauge and sight glass components should be included for AMR. The staff agreed with the applicant, in that the applicant should revise its original response. A submittal date for the response will be discussed amongst the FENOC license renewal project manager and the NRC project manager on Friday, June 17, 2011.
ACTION: Applicant to supplement the response to RAIs with a submittal date to be determined on June 17, 2011.
Response to RAI 3.1.70-1 Discussion:
The staff stated that by letter dated June 3, 2011, the applicant responded to RAI 3.1.1.70-1 and, in its response, confirmed that the Small Bore Class 1 Piping Inspection Program is credited to manage cracking due to flaw growth, stress corrosion cracking, and intergranular attack of the stainless steel and cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) valve bodies less than 4 inches. The applicant also indicated that the Small Bore Class 1 Piping Inspection is a one-time inspection that will be designed to detect cracking of small bore ASME Code Class 1 piping less than 4 inches nominal pipe size (less than NPS 4) and greater than or equal to NPS 1, which includes pipe, fittings, and branch connections, and all full and partial penetration (socket) welds. However, the staff noted that the applicants response to RAI 3.1.1.70-1 or the technical information in the LRA does not address how the Small Bore Class 1 Piping Inspection Program manages the aging effect of the valve bodies less than 4 inches.
The applicant indicated that the original RAI was misinterpreted and the previous response needs corrections in order to clarify that the small-bore valve bodies are not included in the
scope of the Small Bore Class 1 Piping Inspection Program. The applicant also indicated that it uses the Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program to manage the aging effect of the small-bore valve bodies. In addition, the applicant confirmed that the flaw described in the terminology flaw growth refers to a hypothetical flaw, which might have a potential for further growth.
ACTION: The applicant will supplement its previous response to the RAI. The submittal of the supplemental information is scheduled for June 24, 2011.
There was no further discussion, and the call was concluded.
