License Renewal Application (LRA),
Section A. 1 Page 1 of 3 Question RAI A.1-1
Background:
By letter dated August 27, 2010, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 for renewal of Operating License NPF-3 for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. The staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) is reviewing this application in accordance with the guidance in NUREG-1800, "Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants." By letter dated July 31, 2012, the NRC provided the "Safety Evaluation Report with Open Items related to the License Renewal of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station" (SER), and requested that FENOC review the SER and provide comments to the NRC staff. By letter dated September 14, 2012, FENOC provided its comments.
During the review of the Davis-Besse license renewal application (LRA) by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff, FENOC made commitments related to aging management programs to manage the aging effects of structures and components prior to the period of extended operation. The list of these commitments, as well as the implementation schedules and the sources for each commitment, was included as Table A-1 in Appendix A to the SER with Open Items.
In Section 1.7, "Summary of Proposed License Conditions," of the SER with Open Items, the staff stated that following its review of the LRA, including subsequent information and clarifications provided by the applicant, the staff identified proposed license conditions. The first license condition requires the information in the updated safety analysis report (USAR) supplement, submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21(d), as revised during the license renewal application review process, be made a part of the USAR. The second license condition in part states that the activities listed in Appendix A of the SER and the applicant's USAR supplement be completed no later than October 22, 2016 (i.e., 6 months prior to the period of extended operation).
The NRC plans to revise the second proposed license condition regarding the USAR supplement, which describes certain programs to be implemented and activities to be completed prior to the period of extended operation (PEO). Under the license condition, FENOC will be required to implement those new programs
Attachment L-1 3-160 Page 2 of 3 and enhancements to existing programs no later than 6 months prior to the PEO.
In addition, the license condition will state that FENOC shall complete those inspection or testing activities as noted in certain commitments by 6 months prior to the PEO or the end of the last refueling outage prior to the PEO, whichever occurs later.
Therefore, the license condition will be revised to state:
The USAR supplement submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21(d), as revised during the license renewal application review process, and as supplemented by Appendix A of NUREG [XXXX], "Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station" dated [Month Year], describes certain programs to be implemented and activities to be completed prior to the period of extended operation.
- a. The licensee shall implement those new programs and enhancements to existing programs no later than 6 months prior to PEO.
- b. The licensee shall complete those inspection and testing activities, as noted in Commitment Nos. x through xx of Appendix A of NUREG XXXX, by the 6-month date prior to PEO or the end of the last refueling outage prior to the PEO, whichever occurs later.
The licensee shall notify the NRC in writing within 30 days after having accomplished item (a) above and include the status of those activities that have been or remain to be completed in item (b) above.
Issue:
As proposed in the Davis-Besse LRA Table A-1, the implementation schedule for some commitments may conflict with the implementation schedule intended by the generic license condition.
Request:
- 1. Identify those commitments to implement new programs and enhancements to existing programs. Indicate the expected date for completing the implementation of each of these programs and enhancements.
- 2. Identify those commitments to complete inspection or testing activities prior to the PEO. Indicate the expected dates for the completion of each of these inspection and testing activities.
Attachment L-13-160 Page 3 of 3 RESPONSE RAI A.1-1
- 1. The following license renewal future commitments to implement new programs and' enhance existing programs are revised to change the completion dates from "April 22, 2017," to "prior to October 22, 2016":
Commitments 1-14, 16-21, 25, 27-32, 34, 40, 45-47, and 49
- 2. The following license renewal future commitments to complete inspection and testing activities are revised to change the completion dates from "April 22, 2017," to "prior to October 22, 2016":
Commitments 22-24, 38, 41, 43, 44, and 48 Additionally, for consistency with the commitment date revisions in response to Requests 1 and 2 above, Commitment 33, Phase 1, Action 2 is revised to change the completion date from "prior to December 31, 2016" to "prior to October 22, 2016".
However, the [multiple] activities in Commitment 33 are not "inspection or testing activities", so Commitment 33 was not included in the list of commitments revised in response to Request 2, above, and therefore should not be included in the list of commitments in the license condition.
See the Enclosure to this letter for the revision to the Davis-Besse LRA.

The reinforcing steel that and will be exposed for a visual inspection will have corrosion Phase 2 prior to B.2.39-10 from products collected for testing. Degradation identified from the December 31, NRC Letter samples will be entered into the FENOC Corrective Action 2020 dated Program. The core bores will be performed in areas where July 21, 2011 leakage has been observed in the past.
- The first set of core bores will be performed prior to the end of 2014 (Phase 1).
- The second set of core bores will be performed prior to the end of 2020 (Phase 2).
- Further core bores will be conducted, if warranted, based on the evaluation of the results of the inspection and testing of the core bores orif spent fuel pool leakage through the wall or ceiling recurs after the second set of core bores is performed. If spent fuel pool leakage through another wall or ceiling is identified, then core bores will be performed in a manner similar to that stated for the ECCS Pump Room No. 1 wall and the Room 109 ceiling.
