ME7246 - DAEC - Fourth 10-year Inservice Inspection Plan (Ltr NG-11-0320 - Request for Additional Information DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NEXTERA ENERGY DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER FOURTH 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION PLAN (ME7246)

DOCKET NUMBER 50-331 By letter dated August 31, 2011, (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession number ML11245A240) NextEra Energy Duane Arnold LLC (NextEra, the licensee) submitted a set of 15 Relief Requests (RRs) NDE-R001 through NDE-R015, less NDE-R004, among which several actions were requested individually or in combination including: (1) extension of the expiration date of the RR from that of the expiration of the original facility operating license (February 21, 2014) to the planned end of the fourth inservice inspection (ISI) interval (October 31, 2016); (2) request for approval of newly submitted RRs; (3) requests to confirm the approval status of RR submitted earlier; or (4) some combination of (1), (2) and (3)

NRC staff has reviewed and evaluated the information provided by the licensee and has determined that the following information is needed in order to complete its review of the RR.

Please contact Karl Feintuch (301-415-3079) by 11/14/2012 to confirm: (1) that the items are clear to you and to the responsive NextEra staff without further discussion or (2) that a clarifying conference call is needed.

Upon determination that the RAI items are clear and confirmation of when responses to these items are due, these draft RAI items will be considered to be in final form.

The RAI items are assigned the following tracking numbers.

A. ME7246-RAII-DORL-Feintuch-001-2012-11-12 B. ME7246-RAII-DORL-Feintuch-002-2012-11-12 C. ME7246-RAII-DORL-Feintuch-003-2012-11-12 A. ME7246-RAII-DORL-Feintuch-001-2012-11-12 (1) Individually affirm all RRs, among NDE-R001 to NDE-R015, that are to be extended in effect until October 31, 2016. You may do this in the form of a Table similar to that on Section H, page 1 of 100, with the addition of column(s) in which you address each relief request.

(2) Affirm that a time extension was not requested for NDE-R004 and for NDE-R015.

B. ME7246-RAII-DORL-Feintuch-002-2012-11-12 1

NRC staff noted within* your letter dated August 31, 2011, where it appears that the Inservice Inspection Plan ceases to be in effect after February 21, 2014, whereas the relief authorized by NRC staff (approved on 1/31/2007 for NRE-R001, for example) contains no limitation other than being in effect for the entire ten-year interval ending on October 31, 2016.

Please affirm that:

(1) the Inservice Inspection Plan is technically valid for the entire ten-year interval ending on October 31, 2016; (2) all references to the effective dates of the Inservice Inspection Plan have been or will be amended to show that the plan remains in effect until October 31, 2016; and (3) any reference to ending the effectiveness of the Inservice Inspection Plan on February 21, 2014, is attributable to the expiration of the original facility operating license on February 21, 2014, and not a technical limit on the validity of the plan.

• See for example, on Section A, page 1 of 14, Subsection 1.0 (2) first sentence where you state that:

This Inservice Inspection Plan will be effective from November 1, 2006 through and including February 21, 2014, which represents the fourth ten-year interval of the Inservice Inspection Program for DAEC. The interval ends on February 21, 2014 to coincide with the end of the current [original facility operating] license, thus making the interval duration of approximately 99 months as opposed to the standard 120 months.

C. ME7246-RAII-DORL-Feintuch-003-2012-11-12 NDE-R011 requested relief from the ASME Section XI repair requirements for weld overlay repairs for components RRC-F002 and RRF-F002 using Code Cases N-504-2 and N-638-1 as alternatives. This relief was granted for refueling outage RFO-20 in a SE by NRC staff dated June 12, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071110007) under TAC number MD4466.

Clarify if a time extension is needed for relief request NDE-R011. If a time extension is needed, explain why the time extension is needed given that the weld overlay repairs for components RRC-F002 and RRF-F002 have been completed and the original SE was granted for RFO-20 only.
