` NRC Introduction and informational needs in order to properly evaluate the ASR issue
` NextEra ASR Plans and Schedule Proposed Testing at University of Texas
` NextEra & NRC Technical Discussion
` Summary 2
` Large body of work ongoing to better understand this phenomena
` NextEra has indicated the structures they have identified to date with ASR remain operable, despite some degraded conditions and localized cracking.
g
` The NRC has independently reviewed the phenomena with onsite inspections and reviews of licensee evaluations and analyses by our own experts. No immediate safety concern.
` ASR affected structures are operable but degraded:
Safety load factors in controlling load conditions and engineering conservatisms in design, Field walk-downs confirm no visible indication of significant deformation, distortion, or displacement of structures, or rebar corrosion, ASR identified at localized areas in the concrete walls, and Progression of ASR degradation occurs slowly.
3
- What buildings are affected by ASR?
- How do you plan to confirm ASR and what is your basis?
4
` When do you plan to update operability determinations for all buildings affected by ASR and what key information do you plan to incorporate into it, including key assumptions, bases for inputs including material properties, and calculation th d d?
methods used?
` If you continue to use the empirical relationships in the American Concrete Institute (ACI) design basis code for operability determinations, what is the basis for use of those relationships, and what is the explanation regarding why these are appropriate for the degraded conditions in the building?
5
` What are your ongoing or planned methods, analysis or testing that will be used to monitor/manage ASR affected used to monitor/manage ASR-affected structures?
` What is your knowledge of the ASR reaction rate, possible end point, and how it affects operability?
6
` When will you submit a letter to the NRC staff formalizing your Corrective Action Plan to address this issue?
7
` When will you provide the technical details for the larger-scale testing planned at the contracted research and development facility?
development facility?
