Revision 0 Page 1 of 12

1.0 ASME Code Components Affected

The affected components are the Braidwood Station, Unit 1 and Unit 2 Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV); specifically, the following American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code,Section XI (Reference 1) examination categories and item numbers covering examinations of the RPV. These examination categories and item numbers are from IWB-2500 and Table IWB-2500-1 of the ASME B&PV Code,Section XI.

Category B-A welds are defined as "Pressure Retaining Welds in Reactor Vessel." Category B-D welds are defined as "Full Penetration Welded Nozzles in Vessels" Examination Category Item No. Description B-A B1.11 Circumferential Shell Welds B-A 131.21 Circumferential Head Welds B-A B1.30 Shell-to-Flange Weld B-D B3.90 Nozzle-to-Vessel Welds B-D B3.100 Nozzle Inside Radius Section 1 * *

  • IM
  • * - * *
  • M * - *.

The Third Interval Inservice Inspection (ISI) program is based on the ASME B&PV Code,Section XI, 2001 Edition through 2003 Addenda (Reference 1). Throughout this request the above examination categories are referred to as "the subject examinations' and the ASME B&PV Code.Section XI, is referred to as "the Code."

The applicable Code for the subsequent (i.e., Fourth) ISI interval will be implemented in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a.

3.0 Applicable Code Requirement

ASME Section XI Paragraph IWB-2412, "Inspection Program B," requires volumetric and surface examination of essentially 100% of RPV pressure retaining welds identified in Table IWB-2500-1 once each 10-year interval. The Braidwood Station Third 10-year ISI intervals are currently scheduled to end on July 28, 2018 for Unit 1 and October 16, 2018 for Unit 2.

Revision 0 Page 2 of 12

4.0 Reason for Request

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), relief is requested on the basis that the proposed alternative will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. An alternative is requested from the requirement of IWB-2412, "Inspection Program B," that volumetric examinations of essentially 100% of RPV pressure retaining, Examination Category B-A and B-D items, be performed once each 10-year interval.

Extension of the interval between examinations of Category B-A and B-D items from 10 years to a maximum of 20 years will result in a reduction in person-rem exposure and examination costs.

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) proposes to defer the ASME B&PV Code required volumetric examinations of specific Braidwood Station Unit 1 and Unit 2 RPV pressure retaining Examination Category B-A and B-D items. These examinations are currently scheduled to be performed during the Third ISI Interval in 2018. Upon approval of this relief request, these required examinations would be performed during the Fourth ISI Interval for each unit in 2027 plus or minus one refueling outage. These dates are consistent with those provided in Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG) letter OG-06-356 (Reference

10) and the latest implementation plan provided in PWROG letter OG-10-238 (Reference 2).

Tables 1-1 and 1-2 list the applicable examination areas addressed under this relief request for Braidwood Station, Unit 1 and Unit 2 respectively.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), an alternate inspection interval is requested on the basis that the current interval can be extended based on a negligible change in risk when compared to the risk criteria specified in Regulatory Guide 1.174 (Reference 3).

The methodology used to demonstrate the acceptability of extending the inspection intervals for Category B-A and B-D items, based on a negligible change in risk, is contained in WCAP-16168-NP-A, Revision 3, (Reference 4). This methodology was used to develop a pilot plant analysis for RPVs in Westinghouse, Combustion Engineering, and Babcock and Wilcox plant designs, and is an extension of the work that was performed as part of the NRC Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Risk Study (Reference 5). The critical parameters for demonstrating that this pilot plant analysis is applicable on a plant specific basis, as identified in WCAP-16168-NP-A, Revision 3, are shown in Table 2. Table 2 lists the critical parameters investigated in WCAP-16168-NP-A, Revision 3 and compares the results of the Westinghouse pilot plant to those of Braidwood Units 1 and 2 for an ISI Interval extension.

Tables 3-1, 3-2, 4-1, and 4-2 provide additional information required by the NRC as noted in Appendix A of WCAP-16168-NP-A, Revision 3.

By demonstrating that each plant specific parameter is bounded by the corresponding pilot plant parameter, the application of the methodology for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2 is determined to be acceptable.

Revision 0 Page 6 of 12 Tables 3-1 and 3-2 provide a summary of the latest reactor vessel inspections for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2 respectively, and an evaluation of the recorded indications. This information confirms that satisfactory examinations have been performed for both Braidwood reactor vessels.

Table 3-1 Additional Information Pertaining to Reactor Vessel Inspection for Braidwood Unit 1 Inspection methodology: The latest ISI was conducted in accordance with the ASME Code,Section XI and Section V, 1989 Edition, with no Addenda, as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xiv, xv, and xvi). Examinations of Category B-A and B-D welds were performed to ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII, 1989 Edition with no Addenda, as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xiv, xv, and xvi). Future inservice inspections will be performed to ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII requirements.

Number of past inspections: Two 10-year inservice inspections have been performed.

Number of indications found: There were three indications identified in the beltline region during the most recently completed inservice inspection. One subsurface indication is located in the nozzle shell to intermediate shell circumferential weld seam (Item 4 in Table 3-1) and two subsurface indications are located in the intermediate shell to lower shell circumferential weld seam (Item 5 in Table 3-1). All three indications are acceptable per Table IWB-3510-1 of Section XI of the ASME Code. None of these indications are within the inner 1110"' or 1 inch of the reactor vessel thickness; therefore, they are inherently acceptable per the requirements of the Alternate PTS Rule, 10 CFR 50.61 a (Reference 7).

Proposed inspection The third inservice inspection currently is scheduled for 2018. This inspection schedule for balance of will be performed in 2027 plus or minus one refueling outage. The plant life: proposed inspection date for Braidwood Unit 1 is consistent with the latest implementation plan presented in OG-10-238 (Reference 2).

Revision 0 Page 7 of 12 Table 3-2 Additional Information Pertaining to Reactor Vessel Inspection for Braidwood Unit 2 Inspection methodology: The latest ISI was conducted in accordance with the ASME Code,Section XI and Section V, 1989 Edition, with no Addenda, as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xiv, xv, and xvi). Examinations of Category B-A and B-D welds were performed to ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII, 1989 Edition with no Addenda, as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xiv, xv, and xvi).

Future inservice inspections will be performed to ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII requirements.

Number of past inspections: Two 10-year inservice inspections have been performed.

Number of indications There were two indications identified in the beltline region during the most found: recently completed inservice inspection. One subsurface indication is located in the nozzle shell to intermediate shell circumferential weld seam (Item 4 in Table 3-2) and another subsurface indication is located in the intermediate shell to lower shell circumferential weld seam (Item 5 in Table 3-2). Both indications are acceptable per Table IWB-3510-1 of Section XI of the ASME Code. One indication is within the inner 1/10t°'

or 1" of the reactor vessel thickness. This indication is acceptable per the requirements of the Alternate PTS Rule, 10 CFR 50.61a (Reference 7), since the number of flaws is less than the allowable number of flaws for each flaw size increment. A disposition of this flaw against the limits of the Alternate PTS Rule is shown in the table below. The following indication is located within the forging material of the reactor vessel beltline.
