SUMMARY

OF MEETING BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC) STAFF AND DUKE REPRESENTATIVES TO DISCUSS THE OCONEE LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION On October 1, 1998, representatives of Duke met with the NRC staff in Rockville, Maryland, to discuss-tbe Oconee license renewal application. The purpose of the meeting was for Duke to provide an overview to the staff of the license renewal scoping and screening process used in the preparation of the Oconee license renewal application. A list of meeting attendees is provided in Enclosure 1. A copy of the presentation material discussed at the meeting is provided in Enclosure 2.

Duke first presented an overview of the license renewal process and the NEI 95-10 guidance, which they used as the basis for its application. Duke then provided an overview of the scoping process for the following areas: structural, mechanical, electrical, and for regulated events.

Highlights from these areas are discussed below.

Structural Highlights Duke first identified all of the Oconee structures onsite and then applied the scoping criteria to the structures. Once the structures that were within scope of the license renewal rule were identified, Duke identified the structural components in the structures and applied the scoping process to identify the structural components that are subject to an aging management review.

The total list of Oconee structures was compiled from the following sources: Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Site General Arrangement Drawings, Commodities and Facilities Drawings, and Quality Standards Manual, NSD307. The staff questioned how certain items were treated during the scoping process. For example, piles for structural foundations were not considered a structure in the scoping process. Duke responded that for purposes of its scoping, this item was considered a component and was evaluated at that level. The staff also.

questioned if the scoping done to comply with the maintenance rule had the same results as the scoping that was done for the license renewal rule. Duke responded that the set of structures that resulted from the maintenance rule scoping was larger than those for the license renewal rule, because the scoping, although similar for the two rules, is not the same (e.g., the maintenance, rule evaluated structures that are required to support emergency operating procedures; the license renewal rule has no equivalent requirement).

Mechanical Highlights Duke noted that the mechanical scoping process posed a challenge because the definition of safety-related structures, systems, and components found in 54.4(a)(1) of the license renewal 98114239. 98f030:

POR ADOCK 05000269.

P FUR

&4P October 30, 1998 rule does not match the definition of safety-related that is used in Oconee's current licensing basis (CLB). The reason for the discrepancy is that the safety-related definition used in the license renewal rule was promulgated after the Oconee units were licensed. Duke stated that the definition of safety-related found in 54.4(a)(1) was used in the scoping process for the license renewal application to develop the list of components found in the application. In response to a question from the staff, Duke stated that it did not intend to change its CLB definition of safety-related to match the definition found in 54.4(a)(1). Duke believes that the change is unnecessary because it complies with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54 in Duke's license renewal application.

The staff asked Duke how insulation was treated that serves a safety-related function. The example the staff used was that for some plants the insulation on the boric acid tank served a safety-related function. Duke stated that it would get back to the staff on whether or not it had any insulation at Oconee that served a safety-related function, and if it did, how it was treated in the scoping process.

Electrical Scoping Duke noted that the process used for electrical scoping was different than the process used in the structural and mechanical areas. The electrical scoping was based on system function, not on component function. An outline of the electrical scoping process can be found in. The staff asked if Duke excluded components from the scope of the license renewal rule based on performance or condition monitoring. Duke indicated that it had on a limited basis. The staff stated that the rule does not allow excluding components based on performance or condition monitoring. The staff indicated that it would evaluate Duke's position further as part of its review and that further meetings on how the electrical scoping was performed would be beneficial.

Regulated Events The last portion of the meeting was used to discuss how Duke complied with 54.4(a)(3) of the license renewal rule. The staff noted that Baltimore Gas and Electric had a separate section in its license renewal application for Calvert Cliffs dedicated to fire protection and that it was difficult to find this information in Duke's application for Oconee. Duke noted that its discussion concerning fire protection is found throughout its application as opposed to a separate section.

Duke provided the staff with a notebook of information regarding fire protection and other regulated events (i.e., environmental qualification, pressurized thermal shock, anticipated transients without scram, and station blackout) to assist the staff in its review of the issues.

Duke noted that all the information was currently on the docket and constituted Duke's current licensing basis regarding regulated events. Duke compiled the information in one notebook so October 30, 1998 that it could easily be reviewed. The staff stated that it may need a combination of a site visit and requests for additional information in this area to resolve its concerns.

SUMMARY

OF SITE VISIT AND MEETING BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND DUKE POWER REPRESENTATIVES TO DISCUSS THE STAFF'S COMMENTS ON THE REVISED OCONEE LICENSE RENEWAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION REPORT, OLRP-JO0i, DATED NOVEMBER 4, 1996 (REACTOR BUILDING EXAMPLE) (TAC NOS. M96277, M96278, AND M96279)

On January 6, 1997, the NRC staff conducted a site visit at the Duke Power offices in Charlotte, North Carolina in order to complete its rev iew of Duke's revised Oconee License Renewal Technical Information Report, OLRP-1001 (Reactor Building Example) dated November 4, 1996.

Duke Power undertook a rewrite of the original report dated July 31, 1996, after the NRC staff informed Duke in September 1996 that the July 31 report did not contain sufficient information for the staff to conduct a technical review. On December 5, 1996, the staff agreed to perform a "format and content" review of the Duke revised report and provide feedback on the acceptability of the report by January 7, 1997.

The staff reviewed the Duke revised report using information contained in draft Nuclear Energy Institute License Renewal Implementation Guideline (NEI 95-10) and the lessons learned from the 1996 Industry License Renewal Demonstration Project.

The staff's comments on the Duke revised report are contained in a staff comment matrix (Attachment 1).

The comment matrix provides references to the applicable section of NEI 95-10 for the specific information item described. The staff's comments are contained in notes to the matrix.

After drafting the comments contained in Attachment 1, the staff conducted a site visit to Duke Power's offices in Charlotte to review onsite documentation supporting the revised report. Onsite documentation reviewed by the staff included Oconee reactor building drawings, civil inspection reports, inspection procedures, and aging management review results. Additionally, the staff had discussions with plant engineers and site license renewal project managers regarding the onsite documentation. As a result of the onsite reviews and discussions the staff determined that Duke had adequately listed the structures and components subject to an aging management review in the report and that onsite documentation provided traceability to individual structures and components when the larger component groupings were identified in the report, consistent with the staff's previous position on the requirements for Tisting structures and components in a license renewal application. The staff's position is included in Attachment 1. Additionally the staff's onsite review also determined that Duke had provided a basis for their component groupings as required by NEI 95-10. As a result of the on site review, the staff determined that no additional actions on format and content for the reactor building report are necessary by Duke for comments 1 and 2 on the comment matrix.

Elements of "the list" requited by 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1)

1. In the application, the list should be of sufficient detail so that there is assurance that all the structures and components subject to an aging management review have been identified.
2. An applicant may apply some convention to group structures or components to gain efficiency. If this is done, the convention must be described in the application. The grouping should be traceable to documentation maintained on-site.
3. On-site, the applicant must control and maintain documentation to identify each structure or component that was determined to be subject to an aging management review. This documentation must be sufficient to allow the staff to independently identify each structure and component determined to be subject to an aging management review. This documentation should identify each structure or component within the groupings included in the application.

Oconee Nuclear Station 3.2 Classification of Structures, Components, and Systems

-4.

3.2 CLASSIFICATION OF STRUCTURES, COMPONENTS, AND SYSTEMS 3.2.1 SEISMIC CLASSIFICATION 3.2.1.1 Structures The design bases for normal operating conditions are governed by the applicable building design codes.

The basic design criterion for the worst loss-of-coolant accident and seismic conditions is that there shall be no loss of function if that function is related to public safety.

AEC publication TID 7024, "Nuclear Reactors and Earthquake," as amplified in Chapter 3, "Design of Structures, Components, Equipment, and Systems" is used as the basic design guide for seismic analysis.

The design basis earthquake ground acceleration at the site is 0.05g.

The maximum hypothetical earthquake ground acceleration is 0.10g. and 0.15g for Class I structures founded on bedrock and overburden respectively.

The plant structures are classified as one of three classes according to their function and the degree of integrity required to protect the public.

3.2.1.1.1 Class I Class I structures are those which prevent uncontrolled release of radioactivity and are designed to withstand all loadings without loss of function. Class I structures include the following:

Portions of the Auxiliary Building that house engineered safeguards systems, control room, fuel storage facilities and radioactive materials.

Reactor Building and its penetrations.

2 3

CT4 Transformer and 4KV Switchgear Enclosures (Blockhouses) (Reference Section 8.3.1.4.1, 3

"Auxiliary Transformers.")

Unit Vent.

3.2.1.1.2 Class 2 Class 2 structures are those whose limited damage would not result in a release of radioactivity and would 2

permit a controlled plant shutdown but could interrupt power generation. Class 2 structures include the 2

following:

2 Oconee Intake Structure 2

Oconee Turbine and Auxiliary Buildings, except as included in Class 1 2

Oconee Intake Canal Dike 2

Oconee Intake Underwater Weir 2

Keowee Powerhouse 2

Keowee Spillway 2

Kkowee IAtake Structure 2

Keowee Power and Penstock Tunnels 2

Keowee Dam 2

CCW Intake Piping 2

CCW Discharge Piping 2

ECCW Piping (Structural Portion outside of Turbine Building) 2 Little River Dam and Dikes 7

Essential Siphon Vacuum System Intake Dike Trench 7

Essential Siphon Vacuum Cable Trench 7

Essential Siphon Vacuum Building 3.2.1.1.3 Class 3 Class 3 structures are those whose failure could inconvenience operation, but which are not essential to power generation, orderly shutdown or maintenance of the reactor in a safe condition. They include all structures not included in Classes I and 2.

3.2.1.2 Components and Systems (pability is provided to shutdown safely all three units in the event of a maximum hypothetical earthquake.

Equipment and portions of systems that can withstand the maximum hypothetical earthquake are identified in Section 3.2.2, "System Quality Group Classification."

3.2.2 SYSTEM QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATION This section defines the design criteria used with respect to the loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), and natural phenomena and also explains the division of components and piping into classifications related to design and function. These criteria are as follows:

A maximum hypothetical earthquake will not result in a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), but the simultaneous occurrence of these events will not result in loss of function to vital safety related 5

components or systems. The simultaneous occurrence of the maximum hypothetical earthquake and a 5

LOCA is only a design criteria. A LOCA is not postulated to occur simultaneously with a maximum 5

hypothetical earthquake during accident analysis.

In addition, pipe failures during a maximum 5

hypothetical earthquake are not postulated as part of the accident analysis.

A tornado will not be allowed to cause a LOCA.

A tornado does not occur simultaneously with or following a LOCA.

A tornado and earthquake do not occur simultaneously.

5 An earthquake can occur simultaneously with a loss of offsite power.

UNCONTROLLED A turbine missile will not be allowed to cause a LOCA.

A turbine missile does not occur simultaneously with a LOCA.

T.e following design objectives result from consideration of the design criteria:

1. Loss-of-Coolant Accident 3-38 (31 DEC 1997)

Information From: Oconee Drawings Differentiate between Class 1 and Non-Class 1 piping and components. Class 1 piping and components are defined as Regulation those located within ISI Class A piping and are highlighted in yellow. Non class 1 portions are highlighted in blue.

Information From: Oconee drawings Oconee Scoping Process Step

Rules For Highlighting Of OLRFD Drawings Oconee license renewal flow diagrams (OLRFD) are flagged and highlighted to establish the license renewal system evaluation boundaries of the mechanical systems identified in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of OLRP-1001. The system intended functions required during and after a design basis event, identified as "DBE", are highlighted on flow diagrams to associate specific mechanical flow paths with the performance of the system intended functions. The methodology and criteria used to determine the mechanical flow paths supporting DBE mitigation and for flagging and highlighting-the drawings includes the following:

Identify all mechanical flow paths which are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events on mechanical flow diagrams by identifying on the drawings all of the flow paths necessary for the system intended functions to be accomplished, as well as those that may functionally prevent those systems from performing their intended function.

This identification may include SSCs that have been traditionally identified as being non safety-related at Oconee.

Identify the non-safety-related flow paths whose failure may adversely affect essential systems or equipment by highlighting all the Duke Class D piping on mechanical flow diagrams. Duke Pipe Class D piping systems require both piping pressure boundary and structural integrity under seismic conditions.

Identify all interfacing flow paths which share a common pressure boundary with the flow paths identified above. Examples of this include branch lines and instrument lines off of highlighted mechanical flow paths.

Identify mechanical safety-related piping which is defined with Duke Class A, B, C, or F piping classifications. These Duke pipe classes indicate that the piping is QA-1 and corresponds to Safety Class I, II, or III of ANSI N18.2-1973. To ensure completeness in mechanical component screening, flow paths within the boundaries of piping systems containing these piping classifications are included in the scope of License Renewal.

Differentiate between Class I and Non-Class I piping and components. Class 1 piping and components are defined as those located within ISI Class A piping and are highlighted in yellow. Non class I portions are highlighted in blue.

Systems which are relied upon to perform or support performance of a function that demonstrates compliance with the NRC regulations described in paragraph 54.4(a)(3) are within the scope of license renewal. All mechanical flow paths which are necessary to allow the system to perform or support a required system intended function for the regulated events are flagged and highlighted.

The result of this methodology is a set of flagged and highlighted flow diagrams which identifies the license renewal evaluation boundaries corresponding to the scoping criteria in 10CFR54.4(a)(1) through 54.4(a)(3).

Additional guidelines used in flagging and highlighting the OLRFD drawings are:

On vents, drains and test connections, line is only highlighted to outlet of valve.

To keep "Clutter" of drawings to a minimum, no LR flags are placed on Vents, drains and test connections. LR boundary is always at the discharge of the valve.

All instrumentation lines normally open to the process system through, but not including the instrument, are included in License Renewal. These lines are not highlighted except for containment penetrations.

Oconee License Renewal Scoping / Screening Process Overview Regulated Events October 1, 1998 Paul Colaianni Rounette Nader Debbie Ramsey Greg Robison SZ:~

Oconee Nuclear Station Application for Renewed Operating Licenses License Renewal -Technical Information Identification of Systems, Structures, and Components Within the Scope of License Renewal Oconee structures are designated as either Class 1, 2, or 3. Oconee Class 1 structures are those which prevent uncontrolled release of radioactivity and are designed to withstand all loadings without loss of function as defined in the Oconee UFSAR. This Oconee classification is consistent with the intent of §54.4(a)(1). Therefore, Duke has determined that Oconee Class 1 structures are within the scope of license renewal and meet the criteria contained in §54.4(a)(1).

Oconee Class 2 structures are those whose limited damage (1) would not result in a release of radioactivity, (2) would permit a controlled plant shutdown, but (3) could interrupt power generation. The Oconee UFSAR, Chapter 3.2 states that Class 2 structures do not perform any nuclear safety-related function but that their failure could reduce the function of a safety-related system to an unacceptable level. This Oconee classification is consistent with the intent of §54.4(a)(2). Therefore, Duke has determined that Oconee Class 2 structures are within the scope of license renewal and meet the criteria contained in §54.4(a)(2).

Oconee Class 3 structures are those structures whose failure could inconvenience operation but are not essential to power generation, orderly shutdown, or maintenance of the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. Oconee Class 3 structures do not meet the criteria in either §54.4(a)(1) or §54.4(a)(2) and, therefore, are outside the scope of license renewal.

2.2.2 REVIEw To CRITERIA IN §54.4 (a)(3)

Oconee structures and mechanical systems were also evaluated to determine whether they are required to demonstrate compliance with NRC regulations for events identified in

§54.4(a)(3). Each of the following sections includes a brief discussion of the regulated event and the associated Oconee documents which identify the Oconee structures and mechanical systems relied upon in the safety analyses or plant evaluation to demonstrate compliance with the regulated event Structures and mechanical systems which are relied upon to perform or support performance of a function that demonstrates compliance with the NRC regulations described in §54.4(a)(3) are within the scope of license renewal.

2.2.2.1 Fire Protection Section 54.4(a)(3) requires that all systems, structures, and components relied upon in safety analyses or plant evaluations to demonstrate compliance with §50.48, the NRC regulation governing fire protection, be included within the scope of license renewal. The Oconee Fire Protection Program is based on compliance with General Design Criteria 2.2-4 Revision 2 Volume I.doc June 1998

Oconee Nuclear Station Application for Renewed Operating Licenses License Renewal - Technical Information Identification of Systems, Structures, and Components Within the Scope of License Renewal (GDC) 3 [Reference 2.2-5]. Oconee conforms to GDC 3, as described in NRC Safety Evaluation Reports dated August 11, 1978 and April 28, 1983 [Reference 2.2-6, Sections l.G, I.J, and 111.0].

The Oconee fire protection program is based on an evaluation of the potential fire hazards throughout the plant and the effect of postulated design basis fires relative to maintaining the ability to perform safe shutdown functions and minimize radioactive releases to the environment. As part of the response to BTP 9.5-1, Oconee proposed a dedicated Standby Shutdown Facility (see Section 1.2.3 of OLRP-1001) to comply with more recent separation and protection requirements than those addressed in the original Oconee design. The NRC Safety Evaluation for the Standby Shutdown Facility identifies the systems and structures required for the fire protection program.

Pre-1979 plants, including all three Oconee units, were required to comply with the backfit provisions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. The following documents were reviewed to determine the Oconee structures and mechanical systems relied upon to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R:

  • U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Matter of Duke Power Company Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, & 3, dated August 11, 1978.
  • U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Exemption from the Fire Protection Requirements of Section III.G of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, dated August 21, 1989.
  • U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Safety Evaluation of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Oconee Nuclear Station Standby Shutdown Facility, dated April 28, 1983.

The structures and mechanical systems required to demonstrate compliance with BTP 9.5-1 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, are identified by reviewing the Oconee-specific documents addressing each topic. A structure or mechanical system is within the scope of license renewal when a portion is relied upon for compliance with the NRC fire protection regulations.

2.2-5 Revision 2 Volume I.doc June 1998

Oconee Nuclear Station Application for Renewed Operating Licenses License Renewal - Technical Information Identification of Systems, Structures, and Components Within the Scope of License Renewal 2.2.2.2 Environmental Qualification (EQ)

Section 54.4(a)(3) requires that all systems and structures relied upon in safety analyses or plant evaluations to perform a function that demonstrates compliance with §50.49, the NRC regulation governing environmental qualification, be included within the scope of license renewal. A master list of all equipment contained in the Environmental Qualification (EQ) Program has been compiled for each of the Oconee units. The identification of structures and mechanical systems containing environmentally qualified equipment required a review of the components in the EQ list.

Based upon a review of these documents, Duke determined that no Oconee structures are required to demonstrate compliance with the environmental qualification requirements in

§54.4(a)(3). Furthermore, no systems at Keowee Hydroelectric Station or the Standby Shutdown Facility contain EQ equipment.

2.2.2.3 Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS)

Section 54.4(a)(3) requires that all systems, structures, and components relied upon in safety analyses or plant evaluations to demonstrate compliance with §50.61, the NRC regulation governing pressurized thermal shock, be included within the scope of license renewal. Pressurized thermal shock [Footnote 3] is a phenomenon limited to the reactor vessel in the Reactor Coolant System. The identification of mechanical systems relied on to demonstrate compliance with §50.61, other than the Reactor Coolant System, required a review of docketed licensing correspondence.

Duke determined that the only mechanical system required to demonstrate compliance with §50.61 is the Reactor Coolant System. None of the Oconee reactor vessels will exceed the PTS screening criteria during their current operating licenses. Therefore, no systems or components other than the reactor vessels are required to comply with §50.61.

Since the vessels are a part of the Reactor Coolant System, the Reactor Coolant System is within the scope of license renewal.

Oconee structures are not required to demonstrate compliance with §50.61. If future Pressurized Thermal Shock analyses require the addition of other systems and components to comply with §50.61, these systems and components will be evaluated in accordance with the regulatory requirements in effect at that time.

3. Pressurized Thermal Shock is an Oconee time-limited aging analysis which is evaluated in Section 5.4.2 of OLRP-1001.

Oconee Nuclear Station Application for Renewed Operating Licenses License Renewal - Technical Information Identification of Systems, Structures, and Components Within the Scope of License Renewal 2.2.2.4 Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS)

Section 54.4(a)(3) requires that all systems, structures, and components relied upon in safety analyses or plant evaluations to perform a function that demonstrates compliance with §50.62, the NRC regulation governing anticipated transient without scram, are required to be included within the scope of license renewal. The Duke response to this regulation was the installation at Oconee of a dual-purpose control system as outlined in

§50.62. Although this is not a mechanical system, it monitors and actuates mechanical systems. Oconee installed the Diverse Scram System and the ATWS Mitigation System Actuation Circuitry to address the requirements of this regulation. Systems that provide input into this control system or respond to an output of this control system are part of the commitment to §50.62 and are within the scope of license renewal.

Duke reviewed the design of these systems to identify structures and mechanical systems relied upon to demonstrate compliance with §50.62. This review identified the required Oconee mechanical systems. However, structures or mechanical systems at Keowee or the Standby Shutdown Facility are not required to demonstrate compliance with the ATWS requirements in §54.4(a)(3).

2.2.2.5 Station Blackout Section 54.4(a)(3) requires that all systems, structures, and components relied upon in safety analyses or plant evaluations to demonstrate compliance with §50.63, the NRC regulation governing station blackout, be included within the scope of license renewal.

The Duke response to §50.63 for Oconee was approved by an NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated March 10, 1992, and NRC Supplemental SER dated December 3, 1992 [References 2.2-7 and 2.2-8]. Oconee complies with §50.63 by conforming to NUMARC Report 8700 and Nuclear Regulatory Guide 1.155. The equipment relied upon to comply with this regulation is within the scope of license renewal. Based upon a review of these documents, as well as other Oconee-specific documents, Duke identified the structures required to demonstrate compliance with the station blackout requirements in §54.4(a)(3) and their intended functions.

The mechanical systems relied upon to meet the requirements of station blackout were included as a part of the Oconee design study discussed in Section 2.2.1.1 (a).

Mechanical systems at Keowee Hydroelectric station are not required for station blackout.
