OPERATING EXPERIENCE STRUCTURES The following additional information is provided in response to the IPEC audit questions listed below.

Audit Question 27 IP2 Containment Steel Liner Behind Insulation Entergy addressed inspection of the containment steel liners in Audit Question 27. In summary it explained that in1973, a feedwater line leak heated a portion of the 1P2 containment liner causing localized deformation due to thermal expansion. The affected area was subsequently covered with thermal insulation. In response to Audit Question 27, Entergy indicated that it does not remove insulation to inspect the steel liner in this area, on the basis that the liner behind the insulation is considered inaccessible in accordance with ASME code Section XI-IWE.

In order to provide assurance that liner degradation is not occurring in this area, Entergy will remove insulation and perform a one-time inspection of a representative sample area of the IP2 containment liner affected by the 1973 event prior to entering the period of extended operation.

In April of 2000, during the first IPEC inspection required under the Containment Inservice Inspection (CII - IWE) Program, minor surface rust was noted on the IP2 containment liner. The condition existed on the liner at the juncture with the containment concrete floor slab. The cause was exposure to moisture as result of a service water line leak in 1980. The April 2000 inspections found several areas where the moisture barrier between the containment liner and the concrete floor slab was missing or not properly bonded.

In order to determine the extent of the IP2 condition, ten (10) insulation panels were removed to provide access to facilitate augmented inspection. With the insulation removed, light rust was noted. Thickness measurements showed no significant wall loss. Three subsequent inspections and thickness measurements of the containment liner in the same locations, the latest near the beginning of 2006, indicate that the area has remained dry, the corrosion is inactive, and the liner plate thickness is greater than the required thickness, As a result, the IP2 liner remains capable of performing its intended design function.

As shown in LRA Table 3.5.2-1, the moisture barrier at the juncture between the containment liner and the containment floor will continue to be inspected on both IP2 and IP3 in accordance with the requirements of ASME code section XI-IWE throughout the period of extended operation. The containment liner will continue to be inspected in accordance with the requirements of ASME code section XI-IWE, and tested in accordance with the requirements of IOCFR50, appendix J (Containment Leak Rate Test) to ensure the containment liner maintains its intended function during the period of extended operation.

However, in order to provide further assurance that liner degradation is not occurring in the same area on IP3, Entergy will perform a one-time inspection of sample iocations of the lP3 containment !her at the juncture with the concrete fioor slab, prior to entering the period of extended operation.

Audit Question 358 Water Control Structures Entergy addressed degradation of water control structures in response to Audit Question 358.

Specifically, Entergy explained that conditions of surface degradation of concrete in the water control structure had been identified during the first inspection under the IPEC Structures Monitoring Program in 1996. The evaluation performed under the corrective action program using ACI 201 acceptance criteria, determined that the identified surface degradation did not represent a structural concern that would prevent the water control structure from performing its intended function. Since then, re-inspection of the water control structure every five (5) years as part of the Structures Monitoring Program has confirmed that, despite the identified degradation, the water control structure remains capable of performing its license renewal intended function.

As indicated in LRA Table 3.5.2-2, under the Structures Monitoring Program Entergy will continue to monitor the structure in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.65 to ensure the structure maintains its intended function during the period of extended operation (PEO).

While the existing Structures Monitoring Program has demonstrated its effectiveness in assuring the water control structure remains capable of performing its intended function, the inspection of these degraded areas during the period of extended operation will be performed once per 3 years rather than the normal frequency of once per 5 years. This increased inspection frequency provides additional assurance that the effects of aging will be managed such that the water control structure maintains its ability to perform its intended function during the period of extended operation.

Audit Question 359 IP2 Reactor Cavity Entergy addressed plant-specific degradation of the 1P2 reactor refueling cavity in response to Audit Question 359. Entergy has observed leakage of the IP2 refueling cavity liner when flooded during refueling outages when the reactor is shut down (i.e., an average of less than 2 weeks each refueling cycle). This leakage is wholly contained within the containment.

Personnel have thoroughly evaluated the condition.

Evaluation of the condition considered immediate impacts of the leakage, as well as long term effects on potentially impacted structures within containment including the refueling cavity structure. Immediate impacts on refueling operations are small as the leakage is readily replaced with periodic makeup from the refueling water storage tank. The ieakage is entirely contained within and is collected in the lower elevation of the containment building from where it is pumped to the radioactive liquid waste processing system. As such, the leakage does not impact structures other than the refueling cavity. The impact of the leakage on the refueling cavity structure is discussed in the following paragraphs, Several studies have been performed to address the impacts of chemical attack on reinforced concrete. In 1966, Kuenning in a paper titled "Resistance of Portland Cement Mixtures and Chemical Attacks," reported that liquids with a pH of 5.3 and above will not cause a chemical attack on concrete. Kuenning also showed that borates will not adversely affect concrete.

Considering that the pH of the refueling cavity fluid is approximately 4.7, the chemical attack on concrete is minimat. Florida Power and Light (FP&L) reported in Test Report P522-1472, "Test Report Long Term Evaluation of Concrete Reinforcement Steel," that there are negligible effects on concrete from borated water with boron concentrations of around 2300 ppm when tested for a period of approximately eight years.

The impact of refueling cavity liner leakage also has been the subject of other evaluations at iP2. Results of core bore samples taken in 1993 and reported in Technical Report No. 8327, "Evaluation of Reactor Refueling Cavity Wall - lndian Point 2 Nuclear Power Plant," indicate a depth of penetration of borated water into the concrete of W or less. As concrete cover over reinforcing steel is in the 1 . 5 to 2 range, borated water penetration into the concrete is less than that required to expose the reinforcing steel to its effects, except at localized discontinuities such as, shrinkage cracks and construction joints that allow a path into the concrete.

In addition, in 1993, a report titled "Technical Report 8281 - Evaluation of Spent Fuel Pool Walls Indian Point 2 Nuclear Power Plant" discussed the evaluation of core samples from the east wall of the spent fuel pool storage pit taken to assess the effect of a 2 year leak on the concrete and reinforcing steel. The report documented concrete testing that showed the concrete had compressive strengths equal to or exceeding the design requirements. The conclusion of the report was that the borated water had minimal effect on the concrete and reinforcing steel.

Since the concrete used to construct ?he spent fuel pit walls met the same specification as the concrete used in the refueling cavity walls, this result applies to the refueling cavity walls.

The refueling cavity is a robust structure, with minimum wall thickness in the 4' range. The stress leveis in the concrete and reinforcement are low compared against capacities.

Considering that the borated water leakage is limited to the short duration when the cavity is iiiled during reiueiing outages, the overali exposure of the concrete to borated water is significantly shorter than that in the tests and studies discussed above; i.e., weeks versus years.

Based on the tests and evaluations, as well as the industry and IPEC experience discussed above, ongoing monitoring under the Structures Monitoring Program will manage the effects of aging such that the refueling cavity reinforced concrete structure remains capable of pefforming its intended function throughout the period of extended operation. There is no uncertainty about the ability of the ongoing structures monitoring program to ensure that potentially affected structures remain capable of performing license renewal intended functions throughout the period of extended operation. The Structures Monitoring Program credited for managing the effects of aging on the refueling cavity structure will provide reasonable assurance that the intended function will be maintained even if this condition is not corrected prior to entering the period of extended operation.

Notwithstanding the above, Entergy plans further efforts to preclude future leakage and eliminate the associated housekeeping concerns associated with fluid leakage in containment.

Because there is no structural concern due to the leakage, the repair efforts will be prioritized along with other initiatives according to importance to overall plant safety and availability of necessary site resources.

However, to provide additional assurance that the underlying concrete remains capable of performing its license renewal intended function throughout the period of extended operation, Entergy will perform a one-time inspection and evaluation of a sample of potentially affected refueling cavity concrete prior to the period of extended operation. The sample will be obtained by core boring the refueling cavity wail in an area that is susceptible to exposure to the borated water leakage. The inspection will include an assessment of embedded reinforcing steel.

Audit Question 360 IP2 Soent Fuel Pool Entergy addressed plant-specific degradation of the IP2 spent fuel pool in response to Audit Question 360. As indicated in the LRA, the Water Chemistry Control - Primary and Secondary Program, in conjunction with monitoring spent fuel pool water level in accordance with technical specifications, has managed and will continue to manage the effects of aging on the spent fuel pool liner ensuring the ability of the structure to fulfill its license renewal intended functions throughout the period of extended operation. Entergy has corrected all known sources of leakage from the spent fuel pool.

Furthermore, a one-time inspection of the accessible areas of the IP2 spent fuel pool was conducted beginning in 2006 providing additional assurance of the continued ability of the IP2 spent fuel pool to fulfill its license renewal intended function throughout the period of extended operation. Approximately 40% of the liner was accessible for the inspection. Inspection techniques included use of robotic cameras, general visual and vacuum box testing. Vacuum box testing was used on areas of the liner that were suspect based on the general visual and robotic camera inspections. None of the suspect areas in the spent fuel pool area failed the vacuum box test, indicating that none of the indications found were actually leaking. Identified indications were coated as a precautionary measure.

Essentially 10006 of the spent fuel pool transfer canal liner was inspected using the same techniques as used in the spent fuel pool with the addition of UT where applicable. The inspections discovered several indications and one weld defect in the transfer canal liner. The we!d defect failed the vacuum box test. The defect and ihe indications were repaired.

Evaluation concluded that the defect and indications were the result of poor construction practices and workmanship during initial construction activities. The combined inspections of the spent fuel pool and the spent fuel pool transfer canal completed in 2007 constitute an effective one-time inspection of the IP2 spent fuel pool liner.

The commitment for program enhancements listed under "Scope of Program" for the Structures Monitoring Program, pages 8-121 through 8-124 of the IRA, includes those areas and structures that are not explicitly listed in the Structures Monitoring Program procedure. The spent fuel pool (pit) structure is explicitly listed in the Structures Monitoring Program procedure and is being inspected. As discussed in LRA Section 2.4.3, "Fuel Storage Building I P m , and as shown in Table 2.4-3 and 3.5.2-3, "Floor slabs, interior walls, and ceilings", spent fuel pool (pit) is in the scope of license renewal and subject to aging management review. The Structures Monitoring Program will continue to require inspections on the IP2 spent fuel pool through the period of extended operation.

Groundwater monitoring for 1P2 and IP3 includes sampling from wells adjacent to the IP2 spent fuel pool. Samples are checked for sulfates, pH and chlorides and tritium. Entergy has committed to long term monitoring of site groundwater with the objective of assuring proper assessment and reporting of dose impact, identification of potential leaks to ground water, and the ongoing assessment of the long term monitored attenuation strategy (Ref. Letter dated May 15, 2008, titled "Remediation and Long Term Monitoring of Site Groundwater", from Mr. Joseph E. Poliock to USNRC- Document Control Desk.) The presence of tritium is a better indication of a leak from a spent fuel pool than the presence of boron. Tritium is a better indicator than boron because boron can be absorbed or partitioned into geologic materials. In addition, tritium is contained in the IP2 spent fuel pool in high concentrations relative to its detection limit (ratio of concentration to detection limit is greater for tritium than for boron).

The enhancement to the Structures Monitoring Program, "Detection of Aging Effects", shown in LRA Section B.1.36, page B-124, is revised to include tritium in the monitoring and evaluation of ground water samples. The revised program enhancement reads as follows.

Guidance to perform evaluation of groundwater samples will be added to the Structures Monitoring Program. To assess aggressiveness of groundwater to concrete, IPEC will obtain samples from 5 wells that are representative of the ground water surrounding below-grade site structures at least once every five years and perform an engineering evaluation of the results from those samples for sulfates, pH and chlorides. Additionally, to assess potential indications of spent fuel pool leakage, IPEC will sample for tritium in groundwater wells in close proximity to the IP2 spent fuel pool at least once every 3 months.

Audit Question 361 IP2 Containment Concrete Entergy addressed plant-specific degradation of the lP2 containment structure in response to Audit Question 361. The containment concrete structure is routinely inspected (general visual examination) and evaluated in accordance with the requirements of the Containment lnservice Inspection (CII - IWL) Program (Ref. LRA Table 3.5.2-1, line item: "Dome, cylinder wall, basemat"). CII - IWL Program meets the ASME Code,Section XI, Subsection IWL as 10 CFR 50.55a requires.

Concrete spalls on the containment were noted during the 2000 containment insewice inspection. In these areas, the exposed reinforcing steel is oxidized, forming a protective coating. These areas have been evaluated under the corrective action program. The evaluations have determined that the spalls occur at locations where cadweld sleeves have insufficient concrete cover. Cadweld splices have diameters larger than the bar and thus have the least amount of concrete cover. The spalied concrete locations are on the vertical cylinder wall of the containment precluding the possibility of standing water that could percolate through the concrete. The location on the vertical wall of containment precludes ready access to allow for repair of a condition determined to have no impact on the ability of the structure to perform its required function.

The 2005 CII-IWL inspection found little or no change of the condition observed in 2000. The identified areas show no signs of corrosion staining or deterioration and no indication that the degradation is progressing.

During the LRA review, Entergy committed to enhance the CII-IWL inspections during the period of extended operation through enhanced characterizing of the degradation (i.e., quantifying the dimensions of noted indications through the use of optical aids) (Ref. audit question 533). This better quantification will allow for more effective trending of degradation following future inspections. The enhancement includes obtaining critical dimensional data of degradation where possible through direct measurement or the use of scaling technologies for photographs, and the use of consistent vantage points for visual inspections. Implementation of this enhancement requires the continued use of optical aids to allow effective characterization of indications on the containment wall that are not accessible from the ground or from existing structures.

While Entergy has observed no progression of the containment concrete spall and rebar corrosion conditions during the most recent periodic inspections, the enhanced measures for characterizing degradation during the period of extended operation provide an effective means to detect potential future progression of the degradation such that corrective action to remedy the condition can be taken prior to loss of the license renewal intended function.

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION CLARIFICATIONS FOR ELECTRICAL RAls AND AUDlT QUESTIONS RAI 3.6.2.3-2 iP2 138KV Switchyard Cable In RAI 3.6.2.3-2 the staff asked Entergy to explain why an AMP is not required to manage the potential loss of dielectric strength leading to reduced insulation resistance and electrical failure of the 1P2 138 kV underground transmission cable. As stated in the RAI response letter dated 6/26/2008, there are no aging effects requiring management because the IP2 138 kV underground transmission cable is not susceptible to aging mechanisms from moisture intrusion and water treeing, elevated operating temperature, voltage stress, or galvanic corrosion. Nevertheless, routine maintenance is credited for verifying the absence of aging effects on the Indian Point Unit 2, 138 kV underground transmission cable.

RA13.6.2.3-2 Clarification LRA Section A.2.1.28 and 8.1.29 will be modified to add the 138 kV underground transmission cable, which is part of the Unit 2 offsite power path, to the Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program. The routine maintenance will use vendor recommended testing and inspections as stated in the amended text for LRA Sections A.2.2.28 and 8.1.29.

A.2.1.28 PERIODIC SURVEILLANCE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, UFSAR Supplement, will be changed to add the 138 kV underground transmission cable. The section for surveillance testing and periodic inspections will be modified to add:

U2 offsite power feeder, 138 kV underaround transmission cable 8.1 29 PERIODIC SURVEILLANCE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, Program Descr!pt!on,w!ll be changed to add the 138 kV underground transmission cable as follows:

U2 offsite power feeder On-Line: Visual inspection of external surfaces of 138 kV underaround termination and oroundina connections, transmission cable temperature measurement of above around parts to detect potential overheatina, and partial discharae testina.

LRA Section 8.1.22, NON-EQ BOLTED CABLE CONNECTIONS. Clarification Visual Inspections for a One- Time lnspections Program Amendment 3 to the LRA, in Entergy letter dated 3/24/2008, provided the following clarification for questions asked during the NRC audits and inspections.

ltems 63 and 563 ffrom Attachment 2 of Enterqy letter dated 3124120081 Item 63 is being revised to reflect discussion with the NRC Staff associated with draft LR-ISG-2007-02. I R A 8.1.22 addresses the plant specific AMP for non-EQ bolted cable connections. Based on discussion with the NRC Staff, the AMP discussion for using visual inspection is being clarified to further explain the types of connections and personnel safety issues of opening energized equipment.

An example of where visual inspection is acceptable is motor connections where the motor lead is connected to the field cable in a local junction box. Because of personnel safety practices the junction box cover would not be removed when the cable is energized, so thermography could only be performed with the junction box cover in place, which may not provide accurate results. Another example of using visual inspection would be in remote switchgear panels where the entire connection to the bus is covered with tape or an insulating boot. For both of these examples, contact resistance measurements would require the destructive examination of the connection. The Entergy policies for personnel safety for energized components at a potential greater than 600V, are to observe a restricted approach boundary, which would preclude the removal of a bolted cover from energized components at a potential of greater than 600V. The number of bolted connections that are greater than 600V are limited to large motor, transformer, or generator connections (less than 30 connections, which is 3 connections per phase for 10 motors) for both units, and 5 remote MCC for both units.

LRA Section 8.1.22 was previously revised with Amendment 1, Entergy Letter NL-07-153 dated 1211812007, and is not being changed by this clarification.

ltems 63 and 563 Additional Clarification Following a telephone conference call held on June 2, 2008 with the NRC, Entergy agreed that visual inspection would not be used for one-time inspections in the Indian Point Non-EQ Bolted Cable Connections Program. Based on this information, LRA Section 8.1.22 is hereby revised.

9.1.22 NON-EQ BOLTED CABLE CONNECTIONS PROGRAM, Detection of Aging Effects, is revised as foilows. This change supersedes the Amendment 1 revision in Entergy ieiter dated 12118/07.

A iepresen?atbe sample of electrical connections within the scope of license renewal, and subject :o aging management review will be inspected or tested prior to the period of extended operation to verify there are no aging effects requiring management during the perlcd of extended operation.

The factors considered for sample selection will be application (medium and low voltage), circuit loading (high loading), and location (high temperature, high humidity, vibration, etc.). The technical basis for the sample selected will be documented.

Inspection methods may include thermography, contact resistance testing, or other appropriate methods -ased on plant configuration and industry guidance. The one-time inspection provides additional confirmation to support industry operating experience that shows that electrical connections have not experienced a high degree of failures, and that existing installation and maintenance practices are effective.

Further Clarificationfor RAI 2.5-1 Offsite Power Components in Scope of License Renewal As stated in clarification to RAI 2.5-1 in the Entergy letter dated 3/21/2008, the offsite power paths, as shown in the figure attached to the response included the substation circuit breakers. The offsite power substation breakers shown in the revised figures in Entergy letter dated 312112008 include the support structures and control circuits for these substation breakers.

As stated in LRA Section 2.4.3, TransformerISwitchyard Support Structures, "These support structures include the transformer foundations and support steel, transformer pothead foundations and support steel, and foundations for the associated switchyard breakers." The support structures associated with the components shown in the revised LRA figures provided in letter 3/21/2008 for the offsite power path are included in the scope of license renewal as indicated in I R A Section 2.4.3.

LRA Section 2.5 states, "Specifically, the offsite power recovery path includes the station auxiliary transformers, the 138KV switchyard circuit breakers supplying the station auxiliary transformers, the circuit breaker-to-transformer and transformer-to-onsite electrical distribution interconnections, and the associated control circuits and structures." The control circuits associated with the components shown in the revised LRA figures provided in letter 3/21/2008 for the offsite power path are included in the scope of license renewal as indicated in LRA Section 2.5.

LRA Section 4.2.5, Pressurized Thermal Shock, is revised as follows.

The projected 48 EFPY peak beltline fluence level at the cladibase metal interface of 1.560E+19 n/cm2was applied to all beltline materials. The resulting projected 48 EFPY RTp7s are shown in Table 4.2-4. All projected R T ~ values T ~ are within the established screening criteria for 48 EFPY with the exception of plate 82803-3, which exceeds the screening criterion by 9.9 F. Values of R T Nfor

~ the IP3 beltline materials at ?4 T and 3/4 T are summarized in Table 4.2-6.

As required by 10 CFR 50.61(b)(4), a plant-specific safety analysis for plate 82803-3 will be submitted to the NRC three years prior to reaching the FITprs screening criterion.

Alternatively, IP3 may choose to implement the revised PTS -rule 8-Therefore, the RTns TLAA will be adequately managed for the period of extended operation in accordance with 1 OCFR54.21(c)(l)(iii).

LRA Appendix A, Section A.3.2.1.4, Pressurized Thermal Shock, is revised as follows.

A.3.2.1.4 Pressurized Thermal Shock 10 CFR 50.61(b)(l) provides rules for protection against pressurized thermal shock events for pressurized water reactors. Licensees are required to perform an assessment of the projected values of reference temperature whenever a significant change occurs in projected values of the adjusted reference temperature for pressurized thermal shock (RTpis). The screening criteria for RTPT~ is 270°F for plates, forgings, and axial welds and 300°F for circumferential welds.

Adjusted reference temperatures are calculated for both Positions 1 and 2 by following the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Sections 1.I and 2.1, respectively, using copper and clickel content of beltline materials and end-of-life (EOL) best estimate fluence projections.

Ail projected R T ~ values T ~ are within the established screening criteria for 48 EFPY with the exception of plate 82803-3, which exceeds the screening criterion by 9.9"F.

As required by 10 CFR 50.61(b)(4jza plant-specific safety analysis for plate 82803-3 will be submitted to the NRC three years prior to reaching the RTpis screening criterion.

OPERATING EXPERIENCE STRUCTURES The following additional information is provided in response to the IPEC audit questions listed below.

Audit Question 27 IP2 Containment Steel Liner Behind Insulation Entergy addressed inspection of the containment steel liners in Audit Question 27. In summary it explained that in1973, a feedwater line leak heated a portion of the 1P2 containment liner causing localized deformation due to thermal expansion. The affected area was subsequently covered with thermal insulation. In response to Audit Question 27, Entergy indicated that it does not remove insulation to inspect the steel liner in this area, on the basis that the liner behind the insulation is considered inaccessible in accordance with ASME code Section XI-IWE.

In order to provide assurance that liner degradation is not occurring in this area, Entergy will remove insulation and perform a one-time inspection of a representative sample area of the IP2 containment liner affected by the 1973 event prior to entering the period of extended operation.

In April of 2000, during the first IPEC inspection required under the Containment Inservice Inspection (CII - IWE) Program, minor surface rust was noted on the IP2 containment liner. The condition existed on the liner at the juncture with the containment concrete floor slab. The cause was exposure to moisture as result of a service water line leak in 1980. The April 2000 inspections found several areas where the moisture barrier between the containment liner and the concrete floor slab was missing or not properly bonded.

In order to determine the extent of the IP2 condition, ten (10) insulation panels were removed to provide access to facilitate augmented inspection. With the insulation removed, light rust was noted. Thickness measurements showed no significant wall loss. Three subsequent inspections and thickness measurements of the containment liner in the same locations, the latest near the beginning of 2006, indicate that the area has remained dry, the corrosion is inactive, and the liner plate thickness is greater than the required thickness, As a result, the IP2 liner remains capable of performing its intended design function.

As shown in LRA Table 3.5.2-1, the moisture barrier at the juncture between the containment liner and the containment floor will continue to be inspected on both IP2 and IP3 in accordance with the requirements of ASME code section XI-IWE throughout the period of extended operation. The containment liner will continue to be inspected in accordance with the requirements of ASME code section XI-IWE, and tested in accordance with the requirements of IOCFR50, appendix J (Containment Leak Rate Test) to ensure the containment liner maintains its intended function during the period of extended operation.

However, in order to provide further assurance that liner degradation is not occurring in the same area on IP3, Entergy will perform a one-time inspection of sample iocations of the lP3 containment !her at the juncture with the concrete fioor slab, prior to entering the period of extended operation.

Audit Question 358 Water Control Structures Entergy addressed degradation of water control structures in response to Audit Question 358.

Specifically, Entergy explained that conditions of surface degradation of concrete in the water control structure had been identified during the first inspection under the IPEC Structures Monitoring Program in 1996. The evaluation performed under the corrective action program using ACI 201 acceptance criteria, determined that the identified surface degradation did not represent a structural concern that would prevent the water control structure from performing its intended function. Since then, re-inspection of the water control structure every five (5) years as part of the Structures Monitoring Program has confirmed that, despite the identified degradation, the water control structure remains capable of performing its license renewal intended function.

As indicated in LRA Table 3.5.2-2, under the Structures Monitoring Program Entergy will continue to monitor the structure in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.65 to ensure the structure maintains its intended function during the period of extended operation (PEO).

While the existing Structures Monitoring Program has demonstrated its effectiveness in assuring the water control structure remains capable of performing its intended function, the inspection of these degraded areas during the period of extended operation will be performed once per 3 years rather than the normal frequency of once per 5 years. This increased inspection frequency provides additional assurance that the effects of aging will be managed such that the water control structure maintains its ability to perform its intended function during the period of extended operation.

Audit Question 359 IP2 Reactor Cavity Entergy addressed plant-specific degradation of the 1P2 reactor refueling cavity in response to Audit Question 359. Entergy has observed leakage of the IP2 refueling cavity liner when flooded during refueling outages when the reactor is shut down (i.e., an average of less than 2 weeks each refueling cycle). This leakage is wholly contained within the containment.

Personnel have thoroughly evaluated the condition.

Evaluation of the condition considered immediate impacts of the leakage, as well as long term effects on potentially impacted structures within containment including the refueling cavity structure. Immediate impacts on refueling operations are small as the leakage is readily replaced with periodic makeup from the refueling water storage tank. The ieakage is entirely contained within and is collected in the lower elevation of the containment building from where it is pumped to the radioactive liquid waste processing system. As such, the leakage does not impact structures other than the refueling cavity. The impact of the leakage on the refueling cavity structure is discussed in the following paragraphs, Several studies have been performed to address the impacts of chemical attack on reinforced concrete. In 1966, Kuenning in a paper titled "Resistance of Portland Cement Mixtures and Chemical Attacks," reported that liquids with a pH of 5.3 and above will not cause a chemical attack on concrete. Kuenning also showed that borates will not adversely affect concrete.

Considering that the pH of the refueling cavity fluid is approximately 4.7, the chemical attack on concrete is minimat. Florida Power and Light (FP&L) reported in Test Report P522-1472, "Test Report Long Term Evaluation of Concrete Reinforcement Steel," that there are negligible effects on concrete from borated water with boron concentrations of around 2300 ppm when tested for a period of approximately eight years.

The impact of refueling cavity liner leakage also has been the subject of other evaluations at iP2. Results of core bore samples taken in 1993 and reported in Technical Report No. 8327, "Evaluation of Reactor Refueling Cavity Wall - lndian Point 2 Nuclear Power Plant," indicate a depth of penetration of borated water into the concrete of W or less. As concrete cover over reinforcing steel is in the 1 . 5 to 2 range, borated water penetration into the concrete is less than that required to expose the reinforcing steel to its effects, except at localized discontinuities such as, shrinkage cracks and construction joints that allow a path into the concrete.

In addition, in 1993, a report titled "Technical Report 8281 - Evaluation of Spent Fuel Pool Walls Indian Point 2 Nuclear Power Plant" discussed the evaluation of core samples from the east wall of the spent fuel pool storage pit taken to assess the effect of a 2 year leak on the concrete and reinforcing steel. The report documented concrete testing that showed the concrete had compressive strengths equal to or exceeding the design requirements. The conclusion of the report was that the borated water had minimal effect on the concrete and reinforcing steel.

Since the concrete used to construct ?he spent fuel pit walls met the same specification as the concrete used in the refueling cavity walls, this result applies to the refueling cavity walls.

The refueling cavity is a robust structure, with minimum wall thickness in the 4' range. The stress leveis in the concrete and reinforcement are low compared against capacities.

Considering that the borated water leakage is limited to the short duration when the cavity is iiiled during reiueiing outages, the overali exposure of the concrete to borated water is significantly shorter than that in the tests and studies discussed above; i.e., weeks versus years.

Based on the tests and evaluations, as well as the industry and IPEC experience discussed above, ongoing monitoring under the Structures Monitoring Program will manage the effects of aging such that the refueling cavity reinforced concrete structure remains capable of pefforming its intended function throughout the period of extended operation. There is no uncertainty about the ability of the ongoing structures monitoring program to ensure that potentially affected structures remain capable of performing license renewal intended functions throughout the period of extended operation. The Structures Monitoring Program credited for managing the effects of aging on the refueling cavity structure will provide reasonable assurance that the intended function will be maintained even if this condition is not corrected prior to entering the period of extended operation.

Notwithstanding the above, Entergy plans further efforts to preclude future leakage and eliminate the associated housekeeping concerns associated with fluid leakage in containment.

Because there is no structural concern due to the leakage, the repair efforts will be prioritized along with other initiatives according to importance to overall plant safety and availability of necessary site resources.

However, to provide additional assurance that the underlying concrete remains capable of performing its license renewal intended function throughout the period of extended operation, Entergy will perform a one-time inspection and evaluation of a sample of potentially affected refueling cavity concrete prior to the period of extended operation. The sample will be obtained by core boring the refueling cavity wail in an area that is susceptible to exposure to the borated water leakage. The inspection will include an assessment of embedded reinforcing steel.

Audit Question 360 IP2 Soent Fuel Pool Entergy addressed plant-specific degradation of the IP2 spent fuel pool in response to Audit Question 360. As indicated in the LRA, the Water Chemistry Control - Primary and Secondary Program, in conjunction with monitoring spent fuel pool water level in accordance with technical specifications, has managed and will continue to manage the effects of aging on the spent fuel pool liner ensuring the ability of the structure to fulfill its license renewal intended functions throughout the period of extended operation. Entergy has corrected all known sources of leakage from the spent fuel pool.

Furthermore, a one-time inspection of the accessible areas of the IP2 spent fuel pool was conducted beginning in 2006 providing additional assurance of the continued ability of the IP2 spent fuel pool to fulfill its license renewal intended function throughout the period of extended operation. Approximately 40% of the liner was accessible for the inspection. Inspection techniques included use of robotic cameras, general visual and vacuum box testing. Vacuum box testing was used on areas of the liner that were suspect based on the general visual and robotic camera inspections. None of the suspect areas in the spent fuel pool area failed the vacuum box test, indicating that none of the indications found were actually leaking. Identified indications were coated as a precautionary measure.

Essentially 10006 of the spent fuel pool transfer canal liner was inspected using the same techniques as used in the spent fuel pool with the addition of UT where applicable. The inspections discovered several indications and one weld defect in the transfer canal liner. The we!d defect failed the vacuum box test. The defect and ihe indications were repaired.

Evaluation concluded that the defect and indications were the result of poor construction practices and workmanship during initial construction activities. The combined inspections of the spent fuel pool and the spent fuel pool transfer canal completed in 2007 constitute an effective one-time inspection of the IP2 spent fuel pool liner.

The commitment for program enhancements listed under "Scope of Program" for the Structures Monitoring Program, pages 8-121 through 8-124 of the IRA, includes those areas and structures that are not explicitly listed in the Structures Monitoring Program procedure. The spent fuel pool (pit) structure is explicitly listed in the Structures Monitoring Program procedure and is being inspected. As discussed in LRA Section 2.4.3, "Fuel Storage Building I P m , and as shown in Table 2.4-3 and 3.5.2-3, "Floor slabs, interior walls, and ceilings", spent fuel pool (pit) is in the scope of license renewal and subject to aging management review. The Structures Monitoring Program will continue to require inspections on the IP2 spent fuel pool through the period of extended operation.

Groundwater monitoring for 1P2 and IP3 includes sampling from wells adjacent to the IP2 spent fuel pool. Samples are checked for sulfates, pH and chlorides and tritium. Entergy has committed to long term monitoring of site groundwater with the objective of assuring proper assessment and reporting of dose impact, identification of potential leaks to ground water, and the ongoing assessment of the long term monitored attenuation strategy (Ref. Letter dated May 15, 2008, titled "Remediation and Long Term Monitoring of Site Groundwater", from Mr. Joseph E. Poliock to USNRC- Document Control Desk.) The presence of tritium is a better indication of a leak from a spent fuel pool than the presence of boron. Tritium is a better indicator than boron because boron can be absorbed or partitioned into geologic materials. In addition, tritium is contained in the IP2 spent fuel pool in high concentrations relative to its detection limit (ratio of concentration to detection limit is greater for tritium than for boron).

The enhancement to the Structures Monitoring Program, "Detection of Aging Effects", shown in LRA Section B.1.36, page B-124, is revised to include tritium in the monitoring and evaluation of ground water samples. The revised program enhancement reads as follows.

Guidance to perform evaluation of groundwater samples will be added to the Structures Monitoring Program. To assess aggressiveness of groundwater to concrete, IPEC will obtain samples from 5 wells that are representative of the ground water surrounding below-grade site structures at least once every five years and perform an engineering evaluation of the results from those samples for sulfates, pH and chlorides. Additionally, to assess potential indications of spent fuel pool leakage, IPEC will sample for tritium in groundwater wells in close proximity to the IP2 spent fuel pool at least once every 3 months.

Audit Question 361 IP2 Containment Concrete Entergy addressed plant-specific degradation of the lP2 containment structure in response to Audit Question 361. The containment concrete structure is routinely inspected (general visual examination) and evaluated in accordance with the requirements of the Containment lnservice Inspection (CII - IWL) Program (Ref. LRA Table 3.5.2-1, line item: "Dome, cylinder wall, basemat"). CII - IWL Program meets the ASME Code,Section XI, Subsection IWL as 10 CFR 50.55a requires.

Concrete spalls on the containment were noted during the 2000 containment insewice inspection. In these areas, the exposed reinforcing steel is oxidized, forming a protective coating. These areas have been evaluated under the corrective action program. The evaluations have determined that the spalls occur at locations where cadweld sleeves have insufficient concrete cover. Cadweld splices have diameters larger than the bar and thus have the least amount of concrete cover. The spalied concrete locations are on the vertical cylinder wall of the containment precluding the possibility of standing water that could percolate through the concrete. The location on the vertical wall of containment precludes ready access to allow for repair of a condition determined to have no impact on the ability of the structure to perform its required function.

The 2005 CII-IWL inspection found little or no change of the condition observed in 2000. The identified areas show no signs of corrosion staining or deterioration and no indication that the degradation is progressing.

During the LRA review, Entergy committed to enhance the CII-IWL inspections during the period of extended operation through enhanced characterizing of the degradation (i.e., quantifying the dimensions of noted indications through the use of optical aids) (Ref. audit question 533). This better quantification will allow for more effective trending of degradation following future inspections. The enhancement includes obtaining critical dimensional data of degradation where possible through direct measurement or the use of scaling technologies for photographs, and the use of consistent vantage points for visual inspections. Implementation of this enhancement requires the continued use of optical aids to allow effective characterization of indications on the containment wall that are not accessible from the ground or from existing structures.

While Entergy has observed no progression of the containment concrete spall and rebar corrosion conditions during the most recent periodic inspections, the enhanced measures for characterizing degradation during the period of extended operation provide an effective means to detect potential future progression of the degradation such that corrective action to remedy the condition can be taken prior to loss of the license renewal intended function.

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION CLARIFICATIONS FOR ELECTRICAL RAls AND AUDlT QUESTIONS RAI 3.6.2.3-2 iP2 138KV Switchyard Cable In RAI 3.6.2.3-2 the staff asked Entergy to explain why an AMP is not required to manage the potential loss of dielectric strength leading to reduced insulation resistance and electrical failure of the 1P2 138 kV underground transmission cable. As stated in the RAI response letter dated 6/26/2008, there are no aging effects requiring management because the IP2 138 kV underground transmission cable is not susceptible to aging mechanisms from moisture intrusion and water treeing, elevated operating temperature, voltage stress, or galvanic corrosion. Nevertheless, routine maintenance is credited for verifying the absence of aging effects on the Indian Point Unit 2, 138 kV underground transmission cable.

RA13.6.2.3-2 Clarification LRA Section A.2.1.28 and 8.1.29 will be modified to add the 138 kV underground transmission cable, which is part of the Unit 2 offsite power path, to the Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance Program. The routine maintenance will use vendor recommended testing and inspections as stated in the amended text for LRA Sections A.2.2.28 and 8.1.29.

A.2.1.28 PERIODIC SURVEILLANCE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, UFSAR Supplement, will be changed to add the 138 kV underground transmission cable. The section for surveillance testing and periodic inspections will be modified to add:

LRA Section 8.1.22, NON-EQ BOLTED CABLE CONNECTIONS. Clarification Visual Inspections for a One- Time lnspections Program Amendment 3 to the LRA, in Entergy letter dated 3/24/2008, provided the following clarification for questions asked during the NRC audits and inspections.

ltems 63 and 563 ffrom Attachment 2 of Enterqy letter dated 3124120081 Item 63 is being revised to reflect discussion with the NRC Staff associated with draft LR-ISG-2007-02. I R A 8.1.22 addresses the plant specific AMP for non-EQ bolted cable connections. Based on discussion with the NRC Staff, the AMP discussion for using visual inspection is being clarified to further explain the types of connections and personnel safety issues of opening energized equipment.

An example of where visual inspection is acceptable is motor connections where the motor lead is connected to the field cable in a local junction box. Because of personnel safety practices the junction box cover would not be removed when the cable is energized, so thermography could only be performed with the junction box cover in place, which may not provide accurate results. Another example of using visual inspection would be in remote switchgear panels where the entire connection to the bus is covered with tape or an insulating boot. For both of these examples, contact resistance measurements would require the destructive examination of the connection. The Entergy policies for personnel safety for energized components at a potential greater than 600V, are to observe a restricted approach boundary, which would preclude the removal of a bolted cover from energized components at a potential of greater than 600V. The number of bolted connections that are greater than 600V are limited to large motor, transformer, or generator connections (less than 30 connections, which is 3 connections per phase for 10 motors) for both units, and 5 remote MCC for both units.

LRA Section 8.1.22 was previously revised with Amendment 1, Entergy Letter NL-07-153 dated 1211812007, and is not being changed by this clarification.

ltems 63 and 563 Additional Clarification Following a telephone conference call held on June 2, 2008 with the NRC, Entergy agreed that visual inspection would not be used for one-time inspections in the Indian Point Non-EQ Bolted Cable Connections Program. Based on this information, LRA Section 8.1.22 is hereby revised.

9.1.22 NON-EQ BOLTED CABLE CONNECTIONS PROGRAM, Detection of Aging Effects, is revised as foilows. This change supersedes the Amendment 1 revision in Entergy ieiter dated 12118/07.

A iepresen?atbe sample of electrical connections within the scope of license renewal, and subject :o aging management review will be inspected or tested prior to the period of extended operation to verify there are no aging effects requiring management during the perlcd of extended operation.

The factors considered for sample selection will be application (medium and low voltage), circuit loading (high loading), and location (high temperature, high humidity, vibration, etc.). The technical basis for the sample selected will be documented.

Inspection methods may include thermography, contact resistance testing, or other appropriate methods -ased on plant configuration and industry guidance. The one-time inspection provides additional confirmation to support industry operating experience that shows that electrical connections have not experienced a high degree of failures, and that existing installation and maintenance practices are effective.

Further Clarificationfor RAI 2.5-1 Offsite Power Components in Scope of License Renewal As stated in clarification to RAI 2.5-1 in the Entergy letter dated 3/21/2008, the offsite power paths, as shown in the figure attached to the response included the substation circuit breakers. The offsite power substation breakers shown in the revised figures in Entergy letter dated 312112008 include the support structures and control circuits for these substation breakers.

As stated in LRA Section 2.4.3, TransformerISwitchyard Support Structures, "These support structures include the transformer foundations and support steel, transformer pothead foundations and support steel, and foundations for the associated switchyard breakers." The support structures associated with the components shown in the revised LRA figures provided in letter 3/21/2008 for the offsite power path are included in the scope of license renewal as indicated in I R A Section 2.4.3.

LRA Section 2.5 states, "Specifically, the offsite power recovery path includes the station auxiliary transformers, the 138KV switchyard circuit breakers supplying the station auxiliary transformers, the circuit breaker-to-transformer and transformer-to-onsite electrical distribution interconnections, and the associated control circuits and structures." The control circuits associated with the components shown in the revised LRA figures provided in letter 3/21/2008 for the offsite power path are included in the scope of license renewal as indicated in LRA Section 2.5.

Alternatively, IP3 may choose to implement the revised PTS -rule 8-Therefore, the RTns TLAA will be adequately managed for the period of extended operation in accordance with 1 OCFR54.21(c)(l)(iii).

LRA Appendix A, Section A.3.2.1.4, Pressurized Thermal Shock, is revised as follows.

A.3.2.1.4 Pressurized Thermal Shock 10 CFR 50.61(b)(l) provides rules for protection against pressurized thermal shock events for pressurized water reactors. Licensees are required to perform an assessment of the projected values of reference temperature whenever a significant change occurs in projected values of the adjusted reference temperature for pressurized thermal shock (RTpis). The screening criteria for RTPT~ is 270°F for plates, forgings, and axial welds and 300°F for circumferential welds.

Adjusted reference temperatures are calculated for both Positions 1 and 2 by following the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Sections 1.I and 2.1, respectively, using copper and clickel content of beltline materials and end-of-life (EOL) best estimate fluence projections.

Ail projected R T ~ values T ~ are within the established screening criteria for 48 EFPY with the exception of plate 82803-3, which exceeds the screening criterion by 9.9"F.
