MEETING SUPMARY FOR OCTOBER 15, AND OCTOBER 28, 1996, MEETINGS WITH BOILING WATER REACTORS VESSEL AND INTERNALS PRO (BWRVIP) REGARDING INTENTION TO PETITION FOR RULEMAKING, AND CLARIFICATION OF LICENSE RENEWAL RULE (TAC NOS. M93925 M91898)

Petition for Rulemakino 4

A meeting was held at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) One White j

Flint North offices in Rockville, Maryland, on October 15, 1996, with NRC 1

staff and members of the BWR Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP). By letter dated September 20, 1996, the BWRVIP informed the NRC staff of its intent to petition for rulemaking, and requested a meeting with the NRC staff to discuss the proposed Petition. Attachment 1 is a list of attendees. Attachment 2 is the BWRVIP's meetir" :lides.

the meeting, and were collected by the BWRVIP at the end of the m By letter dated September 28, 1995, the BWRVIP submitted the proprietary Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report TR-105697, "BWR Vessel and Internals Project, BWR Reactor Pressure Vessel Shell Weld Inspection Recommendations (BWRVIP-05)," dated September 1995, for NRC staff review.

This report evaluates the current inspection requirements for reactor pressure for BWR shell welds, and presents results from performing pro fracture mechanics (PFM) analyses based on an enhanced PFM code, VIPER, to justify a proposed alternative scope of inspections.

Under the existing augmented vessel inspection requirements in Section 50.55a to Title 10 of the Code of federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A)), all licensees must

/

perform one time examinations of " essentially 100%" of the circumferential and longitudinal reactor vessel shell welds. Among its other recommendations, I

BWRVIP-05 proposes to revise these requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ti)(A) l }

to inspect 50% of RPV shell longitudinal seam welds, and 0% of RPV shell circumferential seam welds.

To aid the NRC staff's review of this document, the NRC staff issued two Requests for Additional Information (RAIs), the first on April 2,1996, and the second on May 20, 1996.

By letter dated June 24, 1996, the BWRVIP responded to the two RAls with supplemental information. Further, in response to the request from the BWRVIP Executive Oversight Committee (EOC), NRC managerial and technical staff met with the BWRVIP EOC management and technical staff in a public meeting held at the NRC offices in Rockville, i

Maryland, on July 11, 1996. The meeting summary, dated July 23, 1996, included several requests for additional clarifications from the BWRVIP of issues that the NRC staff identified during this meeting.

j The BWRVIP members presented its Petition format, and requested clarification j

as to what information needs to be provided to expedite review of the proposed Petition.

The NRC staff discussed with the BWRVIP members the timing and l

steps required to be taken for Rulemaking activities. The NRC staff cautioned l

the BWRVIP members that rulemaking even if expedited, is still a laborious process that takes two or more year,s to complete. While it is possible to j

reduce this by several months, the NRC staff is doubtful that Rulemaking could i

proceed in a timely enough fashion to address the BWRVIP concerns.

j The NRC staff agreed to provide the BWRVIP with a description of the Rulemaking process, which is included as Attachment 3 to this meeting summary.

1 h

The question was raised as to whether the revised reactor vessel examination scope, as proposed in the BWRVIP-05 report, could be considered an alternative to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A), pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3).

Section 50.55a(a) to the req (3) to 10 CFR Part 50 [10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)] states that alternatives uirements of subparagraph (g) may be used, when authorized by the NRC, if (1) the proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety or (ii) compliance with the specified requirements would result in hardship or unusual difficulties without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

Although the existing augmented examination requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A) also allows the use of alternatives, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(11)(A) 5, the language in 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A)(5) clearly states that the us(e)of these alternatives would only be allowed when licensees are unable to completely satisfy the requirements for the augmented reactor vessel shell weld examination (e.g., as 1

a result of physical interference or obstruction).

The NRC staff has previously authorized, for many plants, less than essentially 100% weld coverage when licensees were una>le to examine portions of the reactor vessel i

shell welds due to physical interferences or obstructions. The NRC staff i

agreed to seek a legal opinion from the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) as 4

to the acceptability of using the approach in BWRVIP-05 as an alternative to the augmented vessel examination requirements.

j Clarification of License Renewal Rule e

l On October 28, 1996, members of the Materials and Chemical Engineering Branch (EMCB) and the License Renewal Project Directorate (PDLR) met with representatives of the BWRVIP and the BWR Owner's Group Renewal Committee to discuss the applicability of license (BWROG) License renewal to the efforts of the BWRVIP. Attachment 4 is a list of attendees.

Keith R. Wichman To date, the BWRVIP has submitted nine documents that deal with the assessment, mitigation and repair of age related degradation of the BWR vessel and its internal components. The BWRVIP requested that the NRC staff provide clarification as to how these, and future, documents could be appropriately submitted so as to be reviewed to both 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 54 (license renewal rule) requirements.

l The NRC staff indicated that for the BWRVIP to request review of its submittals under both Part 50 and Part 54 requirements was acceptable.

The NRC staff further informed the BWRVIP and BWROG members that the submitted l

(and future) reports will need to be modified so that they explicitly confirm l

that they are applicable to license renewal, so that individual licensees can reference these documents in their license renewal applications.

The BWRVIP I

l agreed to submit an Appendix to the existing reports that will describe how the reports meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54.

The NRC staff encouraged the BWRVIP to work with the NRC staff to expedite the reviews.

Further meetings will be scheduled as needed.

implementation during the inservice inspection intervalin effect on September 8,1992. For 4

the purpose of this augmented examination, " essentially 100% as used in Table IWB-2500-1 means more than 90 percent of the examination volume of each weld, where the reduction in coverage is due to interference by another component, or part oeometry.

1 (3) Licensees with fewer than 40 months remaining in the inservice inspection interval in effect on September 8,1992 may defer the augmented reactor vessel examination j

specified in 950.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A)(2) to the first period of the next inspection interval under the following conditions:

i (i) The deferred augmented examination may not be used as a substitute for the reactor vessel shell weld examination scheduled for implementation during the inservice 4

inspection interval in effect on September 8,1992.

(ii) The deferred augmented examination may be used as a substitute for the reactor vessel shell weld examination normally scheduled for the inspection interval in which the i

deferred examination is performed.

i (iii) If the deferred augmented examination is used as a substitute for the normally scheduled reactor vessel shell weld examination, subsequent reactor vessel shell weld examinations must be performed during the first period of successive inspection intervals.

i

, - ~

l (iv) Ucensees that defer the augmented examination, as permitted herein, may retain all previously granted reliefs that otherwise would be revoked by s50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A)(1) for the inservice inspection interval in effect on September 8,1992.

(v) Licensees with fewer than 40 months remaining in the inservice inspection interval in l

effect on September 8,1992 may extend that interval in accordance with the provisions of l

Section XI (1989 Edition) IWA 2430(d) for the purpose of implementing the augmented l

examination during that interval.

(vi) The deferred augmented examination shall be performed in accordance with the l

related procedures specified in the Section XI edition and addenda applicable to the inspection interval in which the augmented examination is performed.

(4) The requirement for augmented examination of the reactor vessel may be satisfied by an examination of essentially 100 percent of the reactor vessel shell welds specified in

@50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A)(2) that has been completed, or is scheduled for implementation with a written comm,itment, or is required by 950.55a(g)(4)(i), during the inservice inspection interval in effect on September 8,1992.

(5) Licensees that make a determination that they are unable to completely satisfy the requirements for the augmented reactor vessel shell weld examination specified in 950.55a(g)(6)(ii)(A) shall submit information to the Commission to support the determination and shall propose an altemative to the examination requirements that would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. The licensee may use the proposed alternative when authorized by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
