The LRA contains the technical information required by 10 CFR 54.21(a) and (c). Appendix B of the IPEC LRA provides descriptions of the programs and activities that manage the effects of aging for the period of extended operation. Section 4 of the LRA documents the evaluations of time-limited aging analyses for the period of extended operation. Appendix B and Section 4 have been used to prepare the program and activity descriptions for IP2 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Supplement information in this appendix.
With inclusion of the UFSAR Supplement in the UFSAR, future changes to the descriptions of the programs and activities will be made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 2 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 A.2 NEW UFSAR SECTION FOR UNIT 2 The following information is being integrated into the UFSAR to document aging management programs and activities credited in the license renewal review and time
-limited aging analyses evaluated for the period of extended operation. References to other sections are to UFSAR sections, not to sections in the LRA.
A.2.0 Supplement for Renewed Operating License The Indian Point Energy Center license renewal application ( Reference A.2
-1 ) and information in subsequent related correspondence provided sufficient basis for the NRC to make the findings required by 10 CFR 54.29 (Final Safety Evaluation Report) ( Reference A.2
-2 ). As required by 10 CFR 54.21(d), this UFSAR supplement contains a summary description of the programs and activities for managing the effects of aging (Section A.2.1) and a description of the evaluation of time
-limited aging analyses for the period of extended operation ( Section A.2.2 ). The period of extended operation is the 20 years after the expiration date of the original operating license.
A.2.1 Aging Management Programs and Activities The integrated plant assessment for license renewal identified aging management programs necessary to provide reasonable assurance that components within the scope of license renewal will continue to perform their intended functions consistent with the current licensing basis (CLB) through the period of extended operation. This section describes the aging management programs and activities required during the period of extended operation. All aging management programs will be implemented prior to entering the period of extended operation.
IPEC quality assurance (QA) procedures, review and approval processes, and administrative controls are implemented in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The Entergy Quality Assurance Program applies to safety
-related structures and components. Corrective actions and administrative (document) control for both safety
-related and nonsafety
-related structures and components are accomplished per the existing IPEC corrective action program and document control program and are applicable to all aging management programs and activities that will be required during the period of extended operation. The confirmation process is part of the corrective action program and includes reviews to assure that proposed actions are adequate, tracking and reporting of open corrective actions, and review of corrective action effectiveness. Any follow
-up inspection required by the confirmation process is documented in accordance with the corrective action program. The corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative controls of the Entergy (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B) Quality Assurance Program are applicable to all aging management programs and activities required during the period of extended operation.
The Operating Experience Program (OEP) and the Corrective Action Program (CAP) help to assure continued effectiveness of aging management programs through evaluations of IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 3 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 operating experience. The OEP implements the re quirements of NRC NUREG
-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements,"Section I.C.5 and evaluates site, Entergy fleet, and industry operating experience for impact on IPEC. The CAP implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI and is used to evaluate and effect appropriate actions in response to operatin g experience relevant to IPEC that indicates a condition adverse to quality or a non
-conformance.
A.2.1.1 Aboveground Steel Tanks Program The Aboveground Steel Tanks Program is an existing program that manages loss of material from external surfaces of aboveground carbon steel tanks by periodic visual inspection of external surfaces and thickness measurement of locations that are inaccessible for external visual inspection.
The Aboveground Steel Tanks Program will be enhanced to include the following.
Revise applicable procedures to perform thickness measurements of the bottom surfaces of the condensate storage tank, city water tank, and fire water tank, once during the first 10 years of the period of extended operation.
Revise applicable procedures to require trending of thickness measurements when material loss is detected.
Enhancements will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation.
A.2.1.2 Bolting Integrity Program The Bolting Integrity Program is an existing program that relies on recommendations for a comprehensive bolting integrity program, as delineated in NUREG
-1339, industry recommendations, and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) NP
-5769, with the exceptions noted in NUREG
-1339 for safety
-related bolting. The program relies on industry recommendations for comprehensive bolting maintenance, as delineated in EPRI TR
-104213 for pressure retaining bolting and structural bolting.
The program applies to bolting and torquing practices of safety- and nonsafety
-related bolting for pressure retaining components, NSSS component supports, and structural joints. The program addresses all bolting regardless of size except reactor head closure studs, which are addressed by the Reactor Head Closure Studs Program. The program includes periodic inspection of closure bolting for signs of leakage that may be due to crack initiation, loss of preload, or loss of material due to corrosion. The program also includes preventive measures to preclude or minimize loss of preload and cracking.
The Bolting Integrity Program will be enhanced to include the following.
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 4 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 Revise applicable procedures to clarify that actual yield strength is used in selecting materials for low susceptibility to SCC and to clarify the prohibition on use of lubricants containing MoS 2 for bolting.
Enhancements will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation.
A.2.1.3 Boraflex Monitoring Program The Boraflex Monitoring Program is an existing program that assures degradation of the Boraflex panels in the spent fuel racks does not compromise the criticality analysis in support of the design of the spent fuel storage racks. The program relies on (1) areal density testing, (2) use of a predictive computer code, and (3) determination of boron loss through correlation of silica levels in spent fuel water samples to assure that the required 5% subcriticality margin is maintained. Corrective actions are initiated if the test results find that the 5% subcriticality margin cannot be maintained because of current or projected Boraflex degradation. A.2.1.4 Boric Acid Corrosion Prevention Program The Boric Acid Corrosion Prevention Program is an existing program that relies on implementation of recommendations of NRC Generic Letter 88
-05 to monitor the condition of components on which borated reactor water may leak. The program detects boric acid leakage by periodic visual inspection of systems containing borated water for deposits of boric acid crystals and the presence of moisture; and by inspection of adjacent structures, components, and supports for evidence of leakage. This program manages loss of material and loss of circuit continuity, as applicable.
The program includes provisions for evaluation when leakage is discovered by other activities.
Program improvements have been made as suggested in NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2003-013. A.2.1.5 Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program The Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program is a new program that includes (a) preventive measures to mitigate corrosion and (b) inspections to manage the effects of corrosion on the pressure-retaining capability of buried and underground carbon steel, copper alloy, gray cast iron, and stainless steel components. Preventive measures are in accordance with standard industry practice for maintaining external coatings and wrappings. Buried components are inspected when excavated during maintenance. If trending within the corrective action program identifies susceptible locations, the areas with a history of corrosion problems are evaluated for the need for additional inspection, alternate coating, or replacement.
Cathodic protection (CP) systems installed at IPEC provide additional protection of license renewal in
-scope buried piping and minimize corrosion in areas that have been found susceptible to corrosion based on indirect inspections or testing. To the extent they are proven effective, the CP systems at IPEC will be considered in risk ranking to ensure that the in
-scope buried piping systems that are more IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 5 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 susceptible to external corrosion continue to receive a higher risk ranking when determining inspection priority.
IP2 will perform 20 direct visual inspections of buried piping during the 10 year period prior to the PEO. IP2 will perform 14 direct visual inspections during each 10
-year period of the PEO. Soil samples will be taken prior to the PEO and at least once every 10 years in the PEO. Soil will be tested at a minimum of two locations at least three feet below the surface near in
-scope piping to determine representative soil conditions for each system. If test results indicate the soil is corrosive then the number of piping inspections will be increased to 20 during each 10
-
year period of the PEO.
The Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation.
This new program will be implemented consistent with the corresponding program described in NUREG
-1801 Section XI.M34, Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection with the following modification. The Buried Piping and Tanks Inspection Program will be modified based on operating experience to include a risk assessment of in
-scope buried piping and tanks that includes consideration of the impacts of buried piping or tank leakage and of conditions affecting the risk for corrosion. The program will classify pipe segments and tanks as having a high, medium or low impact of leakage based on the safety class, the hazard posed by fluid contained in the piping and the impact of leakage on reliable plant operation. Corrosion risk will be determined through consideration of piping or tank material, soil resistivity, drainage, the presence of cathodic protection and the type of coating. Inspection priority and frequency for periodic inspections of the in
-scope piping and tanks will be based on the results of the risk assessment. Inspections will be performed using qualified inspection techniques with demonstrated effectiveness, Inspections will begin prior to the period of extended operation.
Underground piping within the scope of license renewal and subject to aging management review will be visually inspected prior to the period of extended operation and then on a frequency of at least once every two years during the period of extended operation. This inspection frequency will be maintained unless the piping is subsequently coated in accordance with the preventive actions specified in NUREG
-1801 Section XI.M41 as modified by LR-ISG-2011-03. Visual inspections will be supplemented with surface or volumetric non
-destructive testing if indications of significant loss of material are observed. Consistent with revised NUREG
-1801 Section XI.M41, such adverse indications will be entered into the plant corrective action program for evaluation of extent of condition and for determination of appropriate corrective actions (e.g., increased inspection frequency, repair, replacement).
A.2.1.6 Containment Leak Rate Program The Containment Leak Rate Program is an existing program. As described in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, containment leak rate tests are required to assure that (a) leakage through reactor containment and systems and components penetrating containment shall not exceed allowable values specified in technical specifications or associated bases and (b) periodic surveillance of IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 6 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 reactor containment penetrations and isolation valves is performed so that proper maintenance and repairs are made during the service life of containment, and systems and components penetrating containment.
A.2.1.7 Containment Inservice Inspection (CII) Program The Containment Inservice Inspection Program is an existing program encompassing ASME Section XI Subsection IWE and IWL requirements as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a.
Visual inspections for IWE monitor loss of material of the steel containment liner and integral attachments; containment hatches and airlocks; moisture barriers; and pressure- retaining bolting by inspecting surfaces for evidence of flaking, blistering, peeling, discoloration, and other signs of distress.
Visual inspections for IWL monitor structural concrete surfaces for evidence of leaching, erosion, voids, scaling, spalls, corrosion, cracking, exposed reinforcing steel, and detached embedment.
The Containment Inservice Inspection (CII
-IWL) Program will be enhanced to include the following.
Revise applicable procedures to include inspections of containment using enhanced characterization of degradation (i.e., quantifying the dimensions of noted indications through the use of optical aids) during the period of extended operation. 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. A.2.1.8 Diesel Fuel Monitoring Program The Diesel Fuel Monitoring Program is an existing program that entails sampling to ensure that adequate diesel fuel quality is maintained to prevent loss of material and fouling in fuel systems.
Exposure to fuel oil contaminants such as water and microbiological organisms is minimized by periodically draining and cleaning tanks and by verifying the quality of new oil before its introduction into the storage tanks. Sampling and analysis activities are in accordance with technical specifications on fuel oil purity and the guidelines of ASTM Standards D4057
-95 and D975-95 (or later revisions of these standards).
Thickness measurements of storage tank bottom surface verify that significant degradation is not occurring.
The One-Time Inspection Program describes inspections planned to verify the effectiveness of the Diesel Fuel Monitoring Program.
The Diesel Fuel Monitoring Program will be enhanced to include the following.

A.2.1.9 Environmental Qualification (EQ) of Electric Components Program The EQ of Electric Components Program is an existing program that manages the effects of thermal, radiation, and cyclic aging through the use of aging evaluations based on 10 CFR 50.49(f) qualification methods. As required by 10 CFR 50.49, EQ components are refurbished, replaced, or their qualification is extended prior to reaching the aging limits established in the evaluations. Some aging evaluations for EQ components are considered time
-limited aging analyses (TLAAs) for license renewal.
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 8 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 A.2.1.10 External Surfaces Monitoring Program The External Surfaces Monitoring Program is an existing program that inspects external surfaces of components subject to aging management review. The program is also credited with managing loss of material from internal surfaces, for situations in which internal and external material and environment combinations are the same such that external surface condition is representative of internal surface condition.
Surfaces that are inaccessible during plant operations are inspected during refueling outages. Surfaces that are insulated are inspected when the external surface is exposed (i.e., during maintenance). Surfaces are inspected at frequencies to assure the effects of aging are managed such that applicable components will perform their intended function during the period of extended operation.
The External Surfaces Monitoring Program will be enhanced to include the following.
Guidance documents will be revised to require periodic inspections of systems in scope and subject to aging management review for license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(1) and (a)(3). Inspections shall include areas surrounding the subject systems to identify hazards to those systems. Inspections of nearby systems that could impact the subject systems will include SSCs that are in scope and subject to aging management review for license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2).Enhancements will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation.
A.2.1.11 Fatigue Monitoring Program The Fatigue Monitoring Program is an existing program that tracks the number of critical thermal
and pressure transients for selected reactor coolant system components. The program ensures the validity of analyses that explicitly analyzed a specified number of fatigue transients by assuring that the actual effective number of transients does not exceed the analyzed number of transients. The program provides for update of the fatigue usage calculations to maintain a cumulative usage factor (CUF) of < 1.0 for the period of extended operation. For the locations identified in Section A.2.2.2.
4, updated calculations will account for the effects of the reactor water environment. These calculation updates are governed by Entergy's 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Quality Assurance (QA) program and include design input verification and independent reviews ensuring that valid assumptions, transients, cycles, external loadings, analysis methods, and environmental fatigue life correction factors will be used in the fatigue analyses.
The program requires corrective actions including repair or replacement of affected components before fatigue usage calculations determine the CUF exceeds 1.0. Specific corrective actions are implemented in accordance with the IPEC corrective action program. Repair or replacement of the affected component(s), if necessary, will be in accordance with established plant procedures governing repair and replacement activities. These established procedures are governed by Entergy's 10 CFR 50 Appendix B QA program and meet the applicable repair or replacement requirements of the ASME Code Section XI.
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 9 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 The Fatigue Monitoring Program will be enhanced to include the following.

Enhancements will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation.
A.2.1.12 Fire Protection Program The Fire Protection Program is an existing program that includes a fire barrier inspection, an RCP oil collection system inspection, and a diesel
-driven fire pump inspection. The fire barrier inspection requires periodic visual inspection of fire barrier penetration seals, fire barrier walls, ceilings, and floors, and periodic visual inspection and functional tests of fire rated doors to ensure that their operability is maintained. The diesel
-driven fire pump inspection requires that the pump and its driver be periodically tested and inspected to ensure that diesel engine sub
-systems including the fuel supply line can perform their intended functions.
The program also includes periodic inspection and testing of the Halon fire protection system.
The Fire Protection Program will be enhanced to include the following. Revise appropriate procedures to explicitly state that the diesel fire pump engine sub
-systems (including the fuel supply line) shall be observed while the pump is running.
Acceptance criteria will be revised to verify that the diesel engine does not exhibit signs of degradation while it is running; such as fuel oil, lube oil, coolant, or exhaust gas leakage. Revise appropriate procedures to specify that diesel fire pump engine carbon steel exhaust components are inspected for evidence of corrosion or cracking at least once each operating cycle.
Enhancements will be implemented prior to the period of extended operation.
A.2.1.13 Fire Water System Program The Fire Water System Program is an existing program that manages water
-based fire protection systems that consist of sprinklers, nozzles, fittings, valves, hydrants, hose stations, standpipes, piping, and components that are tested in accordance with applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and standards. Such testing assures functionality of systems. To determine if significant corrosion has occurred in water
-based fire protection systems, periodic flushing, system performance testing and inspections are conducted. Also, many of these systems are normally maintained at required operating pressure and monitored IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 10 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 such that leakage resulting in loss of system pressure is immediately detected and corrective actions initiated.
In addition, wall thickness evaluations of fire protection piping are periodically performed on system components using non-intrusive techniques (e.g., volumetric testing) to identify loss of material due to corrosion.
A sample of sprinkler heads required for 10 CFR 50.48 will be inspected using the guidance of NFPA 25 (2002 Edition) Section 5.3.1.1.1, which states, "Where sprinklers have been in place for 50 years, they shall be replaced or representative samples from one or more sample areas shall be submitted to a recognized testing laboratory for field service testing." This sampling will be repeated every 10 years after initial field service testing.
The Fire Water System Program will be enhanced to include the following.
Revise applicable procedures to include inspection of hose reels for corrosion.
Acceptance criteria will be revised to verify no unacceptable signs of degradation.
Sprinkler heads required for 10 CFR 50.48 will be replaced or a sample tested using guidance of NFPA 25 (2002 edition), Section 5.3.1.1.1 before the end of the 50
-year sprinkler head service life and at 10
-year intervals thereafter during the extended period of operation to ensure that signs of degradation, such as corrosion, are detected in a timely manner.
Wall thickness evaluations of fire protection piping will be performed on system components using non-intrusive techniques (e.g., volumetric testing) to identify loss of material due to corrosion. These inspections will be performed before the end of the current operating term and at intervals thereafter during the period of extended operation. Results of the initial evaluations will be used to determine the appropriate inspection interval to ensure aging effects are identified prior to loss of intended function.

-five volumetric weld metal inspections of small
-bore Class 1 socket welds during each 10
-year ISI interval scheduled as specified by IWB
-2412 of the ASME Section XI Code. In lieu of volumetric examinations, destructive examinations may be performed, where one destructive examination may be substituted for two volumetric examinations.
The current program ensures that the structural integrity of Class 1, 2, and 3 systems and associated supports is maintained at the level required by 10 CFR 50.55a.
A.2.1.18 Masonry Wall Program The Masonry Wall Program is an existing program that manages aging effects so that the evaluation basis established for each masonry wall within the scope of license renewal remains valid through the period of extended operation.
The program includes visual inspection of all masonry walls identified as performing intended functions in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4. Included components are the 10 CFR 50.48
-required masonry walls, radiation shielding masonry walls, and masonry walls with the potential to affect safety
-related components.

A sample of the accessible bolted connections will be inspected for loose connections. The bus enclosure assemblies will be inspected for loss of material and elastomer degradation. This program will be used instead of the Structures Monitoring Program for external surfaces of the bus enclosure assemblies. The internal portions of the MEB will be inspected for foreign debris, excessive dust buildup, and evidence of moisture intrusion. The bus insulation or insulators are inspected for degradation leading to reduced insulation resistance (IR). The bus insulation will be inspected for signs of embrittlement, cracking, melting, swelling, or discoloration, which may indicate overheating or aging degradation. The internal bus supports or insulators will be inspected for structural integrity and signs of cracks and corrosion.

Most sensitive instrumentation circuit cables and connections are included in the instrumentation loop calibration at the normal calibration frequency, which provides sufficient indication of the need for corrective actions based on acceptance criteria related to instrumentation loop performance. The review of calibration results will be performed once every ten years, with the first review occurring before the period of extended operation.
For sensitive instrumentation circuit cables that are disconnected during instrument calibrations, testing using a proven method for detecting deterioration for the insulation system (such as insulation resistance tests or time domain reflectometry) will occur at least every ten years, with the first test occurring before the period of extended operation. In accordance with the corrective action program, an engineering evaluation will be performed when test acceptance criteria are not met and corrective actions, including modified inspection frequency, will be implemented to ensure that the intended functions of the cables can be maintained consistent with the current licensing basis through the period of extended operation. This program will consider the technical information and guidance provided in NUREG/CR

Activities include sampling and analysis of lubricating oil in accordance with industry standards such as ISO 4406, ASTM D445, ASTM D4951 and ASTM D96. Water, particle concentration and viscosity acceptance criteria are based on industry standards supplemented by manufacturer's recommendations.
Oil analysis frequencies for IP2 and IP3 equipment are based on Entergy templates with technical basis justifications. Procedure EN
-DC-335, "PM Bases Template", is based on EPRI PM bases documents TR
-106857 volumes 1 thru 39 and TR
-103147. Each template contains sections describing failure location and cause, progression of de g ra dation to failure, fault discovery and intervention , task content, and task objective.

A.2.1.26 One-Time Inspection Program The One-Time Inspection Program is a new program that includes measures to verify effectiveness of an aging management program (AMP) and confirm the absence of an aging effect. For structures and components that rely on an AMP, this program will verify effectiveness of the AMP by confirming that unacceptable degradation is not occurring and the intended IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 18 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 function of a component will be maintained during the period of extended operation. One
-time inspections may be needed to address concerns for potentially long incubation periods for certain aging effects on structures and components. There are cases where either (a) an aging effect is not expected to occur but there is insufficient data to completely rule it out, or (b) an aging effect is expected to progress very slowly. For these cases, there will be confirmation that either the aging effect is indeed not occurring, or the aging effect is occurring very slowly so as not to affect the component or structure intended function. A one
-time inspection of the subject component or structure is appropriate for this verification.
The inspections will be nondestructive examinations (including visual, ultrasonic, and surface techniques). The elements of the program include (a) determination of the sample size based on an assessment of materials of fabrication, environment, plausible aging effects, and operating experience; (b) identification of the inspection locations in the system or component based on the aging effect; (c) determination of the examination technique, including acceptance criteria that would be effective in managing the aging effect for which the component is examined; and (d) evaluation of the need for follow
-up examinations to monitor the progression of any aging degradation. A one-time inspection activity is used to verify the effectiveness of the water chemistry control programs by confirming that unacceptable cracking, loss of material, and fouling is not occurring on components within systems covered by water chemistry control programs [Sections A.2.1.38, A.2.1.39 , and A.2.1.40].

IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 29 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 A.2.2 Evaluation of Time
-Limited Aging Analyses - Unit 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c), an application for a renewed license requires an evaluation of time
-limited aging analyses (TLAA) for the period of extended operation. The following TLAA have been identified and evaluated to meet this requirement. A.2.2.1 Reactor Vessel Neutron Embrittlement The current licensing basis analyses evaluating reduction of fracture toughness of the reactor vessel for 40 years are TLAA. The reactor vessel neutron embrittlement TLAA is summarized below. Forty
-eight effective full-power years (EFPY) are conservatively projected for the end of the period of extended operation (60 years) based on actual capacity factors from the start of commercial operation until 2005 and an average capacity factor of 99% from 2005 to the end of the period of extended operation.
A.2.2.1.1 Reactor Vessel Fluence As part of the stretch power uprate analysis, the neutron exposure levels for the reactor pressure vessel were projected for an operating period extending to 48 EFPY.
These fluence values included peak plate and weld ID fluences. The 1/4 T fluences were derived using RG 1.99 formula and conservative wall thicknesses.
A.2.2.1.2 Pressure-Temperature Limits Appendix G of 10 CFR 50 requires operation of the reactor pressure vessel be accomplished within established pressure
-temperature (P
-T) limits. These limits are established by calculations that utilize the materials and fluence data obtained through the unit specific reactor surveillance capsule program.
Technical Specifications contain pressure/temperature limits and LTOP (PORV) maximum open setpoints valid through 48 EFPY including the effects of power uprate.
[Deleted] A.2.2.1.3 Charpy Upper
-Shelf Energy The predictions for percent drop in C VUSE at 48 EFPY are based on chemistry data, unirradiated C VUSE data, and 1/4 T fluence values. The projected 48 EFPY peak beltline fluence level was applied to all beltline materials with the exception of axial welds. Based on surveillance data, peak fluence levels at the beltline axial welds is based on the expected fluence at the 30 degree azimuth position.
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 30 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 One intermediate shell plate (B2002
-3) and one lower shell plate (B2003
-1) have projected upper shelf energy levels that fall below 50 ft
-lb during the period of extended operation. All remaining plate and weld beltline materials meet or exceed the requirement of [Deleted] 50 ft-lb at 48 EFPY.
An equivalent margins analysis performed in WCAP
-13587, Rev. 1, demonstrated that the minimum acceptable USE for reactor vessel plate material in four
-loop plants is 43 ft-lb. In the safety assessment of WCAP
-13587, the NRC concluded the report demonstrated margins of safety equivalent to those of the ASME code for beltline plate and forging materials. The USE values are therefore acceptable since the lowest projected USE level for the beltline plate material through the period of extended operation of 48.3 ft-lb for intermediate shell plate B2002-3 is above the 43 ft-lb minimum acceptable USE for four
-loop plants determined in WCAP-13587 Rev. 1.
A.2.2.1.4 Pressurized Thermal Shock 10 CFR 50.61(b)(1) 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 (RTPTS). The screening criteria for RTPTS is 270F for plates, forgings, and axial welds and 300F for circumferential welds.
Adjusted reference temperatures are calculated for both Positions 1 and 2 by following the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Sections 1.1 and 2.1, respectively, using copper and nickel content of beltline materials and end
-of-life (EOL) best estimate fluence projections.
All projected RTPTS values are within the established screening criteria at 48 EFPY.
A.2.2.2 Metal Fatigue A.2.2.2.1 Class 1 Metal Fatigue Class 1 components evaluated for fatigue and flaw growth include the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), [Deleted] pressurizer, steam generators, reactor coolant pumps, control rod drive mechanisms, regenerative letdown heat exchanger, and Class 1 piping and in
-line components.
The Fatigue Monitoring Program will assure that the analyzed number of transient cycles is not exceeded. The program requires corrective action if the analyzed number of transient cycles is approached. Consequently, the effects of aging related to these TLAA (fatigue analyses) based on those transients will be managed by the Fatigue Monitoring Program in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 31 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 A.2.2.2.2 Non-Class 1 Metal Fatigue For non-Class 1 piping and in
-line components identified as subject to cracking due to fatigue, a review of system operating characteristics was conducted to determine the approximate frequency of any significant thermal cycling. If the number of equivalent full temperature cycles is below the limit used for the original design (usually 7000 cycles), the component is suitable for extended operation. If the number of equivalent full temperature cycles exceeds the limit, the individual stress calculations require evaluation. No systems were identified with projected cycles exceeding 7000. Therefore, the TLAA for non-Class 1 piping and in
-line components remain valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(i).
A.2.2.2.3 Subsection NG Fatigue Analysis of Reactor Pressure Vessel Internals The reactor vessel internals were designed to meet the intent of Subsection NG of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III. Subsequent plant uprate evaluations determined CUFs for some reactor vessel internals components. These evaluations were performed to the intent of Subsection NG. The Fatigue Monitoring Program manages the effects of aging related to these TLAAs (fatigue analyses) in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).
Each of the limiting CUFs for the reactor vessel internals will be recalculated prior to September 28, 20 13, to include the reactor coolant environment effects (F en) as provided in the Fatigue Monitoring Program using NUREG/CR
-5704 or NUREG/CR
-6909. Corrective actions specified in the Fatigue Monitoring Program include further CUF reanalysis and/or repair or replacement of the affected components prior to the CUF en reaching 1.0.
A.2.2.2.4 Environmental Effects on Fatigue The effects of reactor water environment on fatigue were evaluated for license renewal.
Projected cumulative usage factors (CUFs) were calculated for the limiting locations based on NUREG/CR-6260. The identified IP2 locations are those listed in the license renewal application, Table 4.3
-13. Several locations may exceed a CUF of 1.0 with consideration of environmental effects during the period of extended operation. The Fatigue Monitoring Program requires that at least two years prior to entering the period of extended operation the site will implement one or more of the following:
(1) Consistent with the Fatigue Monitoring Program, Detection of Aging Effects, update the fatigue usage calculations using refined fatigue analyses to determine valid CUFs less than 1.0 when accounting for the effects of reactor water environment. This includes applying the appropriate F en factors to valid CUFs determined in accordance with one of the following.
For locations with existing fatigue analysis valid for the period of extended operation, use the existing CUF.
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 32 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 Additional plant-specific locations with a valid CUF may be evaluated. In particular, the pressurizer lower shell will be reviewed to ensure the surge nozzle remains the limiting component.
Representative CUF values from other plants, adjusted to or enveloping the plant
-specific external loads may be used if demonstrated applicable.
An analysis using an NRC-approved version of the ASME code or NRC
-approved alternative (e.g., NRC
-approved code case) may be performed to determine a valid CUF. (2) Consistent with the Fatigue Monitoring Program, Corrective Actions, repair or replace the affected locations before exceeding a CUF of 1.0.
A.2.2.3 Environmental Qualification of Electrical Components The EQ Program implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.49 (as further defined by the Division of Operating Reactors Guidelines, NUREG
-0588, and Reg. Guide 1.89). The program requires action before individual components exceed their qualified life. In accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii), implementation of the EQ Program provides reasonable assurance that the effects of aging on components with EQ TLAAs will be adequately managed such that the intended functions can be maintained for the period of extended operation.
A.2.2.4 Containment Liner Plate and Penetrations Fatigue Analyses In 1973, a feedwater line cracked circumferentially, resulting in damage to the liner plate
causing containment liner plate buckling at the penetration for feedwater line #22. Studies were performed to evaluate the effects of fatigue on the deformed area of the liner due to predicted high strain
-limited cycle loading during its projected life. The evaluation was based on the 40 year operating life of the plant and is thus considered a TLAA. The TLAA associated with the buckled liner adjacent to the feedwater line #22 penetration remains valid for the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i).
There are no TLAA associated with the containment penetrations.
A.2.2.5 Leak before Break Leak before break (LBB) analyses evaluate postulated flaw growth in piping to justify changes to the structural design basis involving protection against the effect of postulated reactor coolant loop pipe ruptures. The LBB evaluations use saturated (fully aged) fracture toughness properties, and these analyses do not have a material property time
-limited assumption. The fatigue crack growth for 40 years was calculated using the design transients for the reactor vessel. As these transients will not be exceeded in 60 years, these analyses will remain valid during the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i).
IP2 FSAR UPDATE Page 33 of 33 Appendix A for License Renewal Revision 2 6, 2016 A.2.2.6 Steam Generator Flow-Induced Vibration and Tube Wear The steam generators were evaluated with respect to flow
-induced vibration (tube wear). The replacement steam generators went into service in January 2000 and will have less than 40 years of service at the end of the period of extended operation (September 2033). Therefore, these TLAA will remain valid through the end of the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i).
