SUBJECT:
Transmittal of NEI-03-08 Needed Interim Guidance Regarding Baffle Former Bolt inspections for Tier 1 plants as Defined in Westinghouse NSAL 16-01 This letter transmits for NRC information recent NEI 03-08 Interim Guidance regarding the inspection of baffle-former bolts in PWR plants. As discussed during the 7/19/2016 public meeting with NRC, this guidance was developed by industry in response to recent inspection experiences in spring 2016 utility outages. This guidance supplements existing recommendations provided by EPRI technical report MRP-227-A, and provides immediate guidance for the Tier 1 plants as defined in Westinghouses Nuclear Safety Advisory Letter (NSAL) 16-01. EPRI notes that this is the first step in the development of broader guidance for the fleet in response to the recent operating experience. The industrys baffle former bolt focus group will continue its work on the development of additional guidance where appropriate.
If there are any questions or concerns, please contact Brian Burgos, EPRI-MRP (bburgos@epri.com, 724-610-8559) or Tim Wells, Southern Nuclear (TGWELLS@southernco.com, 205-992-7460).

SUBJECT:
Transmittal of NEI-03-08 Needed Interim Guidance Regarding Baffle Former Bolt inspections for Tier 1 plants as Defined in Westinghouse NSAL 16-01 The purpose of this letter is to issue Interim Guidance regarding the inspection of baffle-former bolts. This Interim Guidance is Needed as defined in NEI 03-08.
The guidance was developed and approved at the PMMP level to provide immediate guidance for the Tier 1 plants as defined in the Westinghouse NSAL 16-01. This is the first step in the development of broader guidance for the fleet in response to the recent operating experience.
The Baffle Former Bolt Focus Group will continue its work on the development of additional guidance where appropriate. This work includes development of criteria for plants to use should they choose to replace bolts in lieu of the inspections required by the new interim guidance contained in this transmittal.
Interim Guidance:
Consistent with the requirements of MRP-227 and MRP-228 as currently prescribed, the following interim guidance is issued under NEI 03-08 as Needed guidance.
All plants identified as Tier 1a plants in Westinghouse NSAL 16-1 shall perform an ultrasonic examination (UT) volumetric inspection of the full population of baffle-former bolts at the next scheduled refueling outage.
Plants identified as Tier 1b in Westinghouse NSAL 16-1 shall complete a visual VT-3 examination of the full population of baffle-former bolts at the next scheduled refueling outage. If degradation is detected the plant shall complete actions consistent with Tier 1a plants, if no degradation is detected during the visual VT-3 examination, an ultrasonic examination (UT) consistent with Tier 1a plants guidance shall be completed during the second refueling outage after issuance of this interim guidance.
Those plants are:
2 of 2 MRP 2016-021 x D.C. Cook 1 & 2 (Tier 1a) x Diablo Canyon 1 (Tier 1a) x Indian Point 2* & 3(Tier 1a) x Salem 1* & 2 (Tier 1a) x Sequoyah 1 & 2 (Tier 1b)
- Plants that have already completed an ultrasonic examination in their most recent refueling outage and are under the plant-specific corrective action processes for baffle-former bolt examination acceptance, evaluation, and re-examination.
Sincerely, Bernie Rudell Anne Demma Chairman, Materials Reliability Program EPRI MRP Program Manager
