This draft SLR-ISG identifies proposed revisions to the guidance for pressurized-water reactor (PWR) vessel internal components in NUREG 2192, Standard Review Plan for Review of Subsequent License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (SRP-SLR), issued July 2017 (Ref. 2), and in NUREG-2191, Volumes 1 and 2, Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Renewal (GALL SLR) Report, issued July 2017 (Ref. 3).
The guidance in this SLR-ISG supersedes in total the previous guidance in License Renewal (LR)-ISG-2011-04, Updated Aging Management Criteria for Reactor Vessel Internal Components of Pressurized Water Reactors, dated June 3, 2013 (Ref. 4), which is related to NUREG-1801, Revision 2, Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report, issued December 2010 (Ref. 5), and NUREG 1800, Revision 2, Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (SRP-LR), issued December 2010 (Ref. 6).
BACKGROUND The NRC staff has reviewed three applications to extend plant operations to 80 years (i.e., for SLR) for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4 (Turkey Point); Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom); and Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Surry).
During these reviews, both the staff and applicants have identified ways to make the preparation and review of future subsequent license renewal applications (SLRAs) more effective and efficient.
RATIONALE Public meetings took place on March 28, 2019; December 12, 2019; February 20, 2020; March 25, 2020; April 3, 2020; and April 7, 2020, between the staff and industry representatives to discuss staff and industry experience in the preparation and review of the initial license renewal application (LRA) for River Bend Station, Unit 1, which piloted the optimized 18-month review process for SLRAs, as well as the reviews of the first three SLRAs for Turkey Point, Peach Bottom, and Surry.
The guidance document changes issued in this SLR-ISG are based on the updated inspection and evaluation (I&E) guidelines in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Materials Reliability
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX Page 2 of 9 Program (MRP) Topical Report No. 3002017168, Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines (MRP-227, Revision 1-A), issued December 2019 (Ref. 7), which the NRC staff found acceptable for referencing in licensing applications in its safety evaluation dated April 25, 2019 (Ref. 8), and approved for use in the staffs letters to the EPRI MRP dated February 19, 2020 (Ref. 9), and July 7, 2020 (Ref. 10).
The NRC is issuing this draft SLR-ISG to accomplish the following five objectives:
(1) GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR Guidance Changes: Update the staffs guidance for PWR reactor vessel internal (RVI) components in the GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR to account for changes in I&E criteria for PWR RVI components made in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, and in other relevant industry documents (e.g., EPRI MRP expert panel reports for 80-year RVI component assessments or in relevant industry interim guidance documents or alert letters).
(2) Clarification on the Use of MRP-227, Revision 1-A: Clarify whether incorporation and adoption of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, may be used as the starting basis for the PWR Vessel Internals Aging Management Program (AMP) and whether reference to the criteria in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, in a PWR applicants SLRA will need to be subject to the performance of an RVI component-specific gap analysis.
(3) Reduction of Unnecessary Burden for PWR SLRAs: Provide additional clarifications on PWR Vessel Internals AMP programmatic change bases that are considered to be administrative and that will no longer need to be within the scope of AMP-identified exceptions or enhancements.
(4) Resolution of Applicant/Licensee Action Items (A/LAIs): Resolve whether the staffs A/LAIs in its safety evaluation for the I&E guidelines in EPRI TR No. 1022863, Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines (MRP-227-A), dated December 16, 2011 (Ref. 11), and A/LAI No. 1 in the staffs safety evaluation for the I&E guidelines in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, dated April 25, 2019, need to be addressed in an initial LRA or an SLRA.
(5) Closure of Regulatory Information Summary (RIS) 2011-07: Provide the staffs basis for closing previous guidance matters raised in RIS 2011-07, License Renewal Submittal Information for Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Aging Management, dated July 21, 2011 (Ref. 12).
CURRENT REGULATORY FRAMEWORK The NRC defines and establishes the staffs rules for submitting and receiving Commission approval of LRAs or SLRAs in 10 CFR Part 54. Pursuant to the requirements specified in 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1), a license renewal applicant is required to perform an integrated plant assessment of its facility to determine those systems, structures, or components (SSCs) that are within the scope of an aging management review (AMR). In 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1), the NRC defines SSCs subject to an AMR as those SSCs that perform an intended function in accordance with the requirements defined in 10 CFR 54.4, Scope, without moving parts or a change in configuration, and that are not subject to replacement based on a qualified life or specified time period (sometimes referred to as passive, long-lived components). For those SSCs that are within the scope of an AMR, 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3) requires the applicant to demonstrate that the effects of aging on the SSCs will be adequately managed so that the
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX Page 3 of 9 intended function(s) will be maintained consistent with the current licensing basis for the period of extended operation.
The requirements in 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1) and 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3) apply to subsequent periods of extended operation that may be proposed in an SLRA for a U.S light-water reactor facility.
The PWR RVI components that are within the scope of this SLR-ISG are those that are required to be the subject of an AMR pursuant to the integrated plant assessment requirements in 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1).
The guidance in this SLR-ISG provides a process that may be used to determine whether a specified PWR RVI component will need to be managed for specified aging effects in accordance with the requirements defined in 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3).
DISCUSSION AMP XI.M16A, PWR Vessel Internals, of the GALL Report, Revision 2, and the associated AMR line items in both the GALL Report, Revision 2, and SRP-LR, Revision 2, provide aging management guidance for PWR vessel internals based on the initial submitted version of MRP-227, Revision 0, dated December 2008 (Ref. 13). LR-ISG-2011-04 updated GALL Report Revision 2 AMP XI.M16A to be consistent with MRP-227-A (Ref. 14), which the NRC staff approved in a safety evaluation dated December 16, 2011 (Ref. 11). The staff also updated the AMR line items for PWR RVI components in both the GALL Report, Revision 2, and SRP-LR, Revision 2, to make them consistent with MRP-227-A.
The NRC issued the GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR in 2017 to address plant operation for a period up to 80 years. The AMR line items were based on those provided in LR-ISG-2011-04, as adjusted for relevant operating experience or industry recommendations that were developed after the issuance of MRP-227-A. However, these AMR line items did not represent a complete analysis for 80 years of operations.
GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A and SRP-SLR Section 3.1.2.2.9 were based on MRP-227-A, which is an analysis for 60 years of plant operation. These GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR sections used the term MRP-227-A (as supplemented) to describe either the use of MRP-227-A as supplemented by a gap analysis to enhance the program for an 80-year operating period, or the use of acceptable generic guidance such as an approved revision of MRP-227 that considers an operating period of 80 years. For example, in SRP-SLR Section 3.1.2.2.9, the staff clarified that if a gap analysis is needed for the programmatic basis, the analysis should consider the extension of time-dependent cyclical loads and neutron irradiation exposures through the end of an 80-year cumulative licensing period to identify changes to inspections of PWR RVI components from those defined for the specified components in MRP-227-A. The staff also explained that an SLRA does not need to include a gap analysis of the RVI components if the AMP is based on a site-specific or staff-approved generic industry program whose evaluation of aging in the RVI components is based on an 80-year assessment.
The revisions in this SLR-ISG to the information for PWR RVI components in the GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR reflect the revised I&E guidelines in MRP-227, Revision 1-A. While Revision 1-A is an update of the guidance in MRP-227-A that reflects the operating experience since the issuance of MRP-227-A, Revision 1-A only assesses PWR RVI components through the end of a 60-year licensing term. Thus, even if an applicant revises its PWR vessel internals program (or analogous AMP for the RVI components) based on MRP-227, Revision 1-A, the
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX Page 4 of 9 program in the SLRA will need a gap analysis to identify enhancements to the program that are necessary to address an 80-year operating period. As described in SRP-SLR Section 3.1.2.2.9 (as updated in this SLR-ISG), the SLRA should include and discuss the gap analysis methods and results. As a result of these considerations, the staff considers that it is appropriate to issue this SLR-ISG that covers updated aging management criteria and bases for PWR RVI components.
APPLICABILITY All holders of operating licenses for nuclear power reactors under 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Ref. 15), except those that have permanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel.
GUIDANCE The NRC provides requirements for the submission and review of applications to extend plant operations beyond the initial 40-year operating period in 10 CFR Part 54.
The GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR provide guidance to licensees that wish to extend their plant operating licenses from 60 years to 80 years, and to the NRC staff who will review the SLRAs.
The staff and nuclear industry have identified a number of areas for which future SLRAs and staff reviews can be completed more effectively and efficiently. A series of SLR-ISGs captures these areas, known as lessons learned.
The NRC staff considers that the information in this ISG provides an acceptable approach for managing aging in PWR vessel internal components within the scope of 10 CFR Part 54 and will improve the quality, uniformity, effectiveness, and efficiency of NRC staff reviews of future SLRAs.
IMPLEMENTATION The NRC staff will use the information discussed in this draft SLR-ISG to determine whether, pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3), an SLRA demonstrates that the effects of aging on structures and components subject to an AMR are adequately managed so their intended functions will be maintained consistent with the current licensing basis for the subsequent period of extended operation. This draft ISG contains an update in redline/strikeout of the GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR sections related to the aging management of pressurized-water RVIs. An applicant may reference this SLR-ISG in an SLRA to demonstrate that the AMPs at the applicants facility correspond to those described in the GALL-SLR Report. If an applicant credits an AMP as updated by this ISG, it is incumbent on the applicant to ensure that the conditions and operating experience at the plant are bounded by the conditions and operating experience for which this draft ISG was evaluated. If these bounding conditions are not met, it is incumbent on the applicant to address any additional aging effects and augment its AMPs.
For AMPs that are based on this ISG, the NRC staff will review and verify whether the applicants AMPs are consistent with those described in this ISG, including applicable plant conditions and operating experience.
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX Page 5 of 9 ACTIONS SLR-ISG Objectives 1 and 2GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR Guidance Changes and Clarifications on the Use of MRP-227, Revision 1-A This SLR-ISG updates the following sections or tables in the GALL-SLR Report or SRP-SLR to ensure consistency with guidance in MRP-227, Revision 1-A:
- AMR line items for these components in Table IV.B2 of the GALL-SLR Report
- AMR line items for these components in Table IV.B3 of the GALL-SLR Report
- AMR line items for these components in Table IV.B4 of the GALL-SLR Report
- generic AMR line items applying to PWR RVI components in Section IV.E and Table IV.E of the GALL-SLR Report
- AMR further evaluation acceptance criteria for PWR RVI components in SRP-SLR Section 3.1.2.2.9 and AMR further evaluation review procedures for PWR RVI components in SRP-SLR Section 3.1.3.2.9
- the program description, program elements, and program references in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A
- the final safety analysis report (FSAR) supplement example for a PWR vessel internals program specified in Table 3.0-1 of the SRP-SLR
- material definitions in GALL-SLR Report Table IX.C to add a new definition for stellite materials, which may apply to the design of specific types of PWR RVI components
- SRP-SLR Table 4.7-1 to include MRP-based fluence and cycle analyses for PWR RVI components as potential plant-specific time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs) for PWR SLRAs The appendices included in this SLR-ISG provide the updated versions of these sections, line items, or tables.
MRP-227, Revision 1-A, is based (in part) on an assessment of Westinghouse, Combustion Engineering (CE), and Babcock & Wilcox (B&W)-designed reactor internals over a 60-year cumulative licensed service life for the reactors. Thus, PWR SLR applicants who transition their programs to use MRP-227, Revision 1-A as the starting basis for their AMPs, will need to perform and include a gap analysis for their PWR RVI components in their SLRAs.
These actions satisfy Objectives 1 and 2, as stated in the Rationale section of this SLR-ISG.
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX Page 6 of 9 SLR-ISG Objective 3Reduction of Unnecessary Burden for PWR SLRAs The PWR Vessel Internals program discussed in this SLR-ISG is based on MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The programs in SLRAs may also include implementation of additional inspection guidance developed by the EPRI MRP, industry vendors, or owners organizations (e.g., Westinghouse, CE, B&W, or the PWR Owners Group). The NRC has updated the Scope of Program element in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A to clarify that the scope of PWR vessel internals programs may include all industry guidelines that apply to the RVI components. The Administrative Controls and Confirmation Process elements in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A identify that the program implements these guidelines in accordance with an applicants industry initiative processes in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute 03-08, Guideline for the Management of Materials Issues, Revision 3, dated February 2017 (Ref. 16).
The staff acknowledges that, as the industry generates supplemental guidance, the plant procedures for these programs may not be up to date with the new methods recommended for the components. Activities to update and maintain the procedures are explicitly identified in the Confirmatory Processes and Administrative Controls elements of the AMP.
These clarifications satisfy Objective 3, as stated in the Rationale section of this SLR-ISG.
SLR-ISG Objective 4Resolution of A/LAIs The safety evaluation for MRP-227-A identified a number of A/LAIs to be addressed by those applicants or licensees using that topical report to satisfy the aging management requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3).
The staffs approval basis in the April 25, 2019, safety evaluation for MRP-227, Revision 1-A, was sufficient to close all A/LAIs previously issued by the staff on MRP-227-A. Therefore, responses to the A/LAIs on MRP-227-A do not need to be included in a PWR SLRA or in a PWR LRA where the PWR vessel internals program for the SLRA or LRA is based on the I&E guidelines in MRP-227, Revision 1-A.
The safety evaluation for MRP-227, Revision 1-A, did identify one A/LAI, which pertains to an applicants basis for resolving generic operating experience with the occurrence of cracking in Westinghouse-designed baffle-former bolts or CE-designed core shroud bolts. Since A/LAI No. 1 on MRP-227, Revision 1-A, is applicable to an SLR applicants basis for addressing relevant operating experience, it is acceptable for the applicant to address its resolution of A/LAI No. 1 as part of its bases for addressing relevant operating experience for the baffle-former bolts or core shroud bolts in the Operating Experience program element of the applicants PWR Vessel Internals AMP, or in the applicants technical basis document or procedure for the AMP. A separate SLRA section addressing the A/LAI would not be necessary. The clarifications made in this Actions section satisfy Objective 4, as referenced in the Rationale section of this SLR-ISG.
SLR-ISG Objective 5Closure of RIS 2011-07 The staffs guidance in RIS 2011-07 addresses differences in aging management criteria for a plants PWR RVI components based on the timing of the initial LRA submittal and the applicability and specified guidance criteria in the GALL Report version referenced in the LRA.
The guidance in RIS 2011-07 no longer applies to future license renewal or SLR applicants because LRAs will be submitted in accordance with the criteria in either the GALL-SLR Report or the GALL Report, Revision 2, and SLRAs will be submitted in accordance with the GALL-SLR
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX Page 7 of 9 Report. As such, the staff is formally closing the guidance of RIS 2011-07 in SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX.
The clarification made in this Actions section satisfies Objective 5, as referenced in the Rationale section of this SLR-ISG.
NEWLY IDENTIFIED SYSTEMS, STRUCTURES, AND COMPONENTS UNDER 10 CFR 54.37(b)
Any structures and components identified in this SLR-ISG as requiring aging management that were not previously identified in earlier versions of the SRP-SLR or GALL-SLR Report are considered to be newly identified structures and components under 10 CFR 54.37(b).
Specifically, the staffs update of AMR items and GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A in this SLR-ISG is based (in part) on the EPRI MRPs analysis of PWR RVI components in MRP-227, Revision 1-A. Any new components identified for aging management in this SLR-ISG are based on the EPRI MRPs analysis and decision to place new PWR RVI components in the Primary, Expansion, or Existing Program categories of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, in addition to those that these categories previously included in MRP-227-A.
BACKFITTING AND ISSUE FINALITY DISCUSSION Discussion to be provided in the final ISG.
CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW ACT Discussion to be provided in the final ISG.
FINAL RESOLUTION By July 1, 2027, the staff will transition this information into NUREG-2191 (GALL-SLR Report) and NUREG-2192 (SRP-SLR). Following the transition of this guidance to NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192, this ISG will be closed.

SRP-SLR Further Evaluation Proposed Revisions 3.1.2.2.9 Aging Management of Pressurized Water Reactor Vessel Internals (Applicable to Subsequent License Renewal Periods Only)
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Topical Report (TR)-1022863, Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines (MRP-227-A) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Nos. ML12017A191 through ML12017A197 and ML12017A199), provides provided the industrys current aging managementinitial set of aging management inspection and evaluation (I&E) recommendations for the reactor vessel internal (RVI) components that are included in the design of a PWR facility. Since the issuance of MRP-227-A on January 9, 2012, EPRI updated its I&E guidelines for the PWR RVI components in Topical Report No. 3002017168, Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines (MRP-227, Revision 1-A) (ADAMS Accession No. ML19339G350). MRP-227, Revision 1-A, incorporated the industrys bases for resolving operating experience and industry lessons learned resulting from component-specific inspections performed since the issuance of MRP-227-A in January 2012. The staff found the guidelines in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, acceptable, as documented in a staff-issued safety evaluation dated April 25, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19081A001) and approved the topical report for use as documented in the staffs letters to the EPRI Materials Reliability Program (MRP) dated February 19, 2020 and July 7, 2020 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML20006D152 and ML20175A149).
In this report MRP-227, Revision 1-A, the EPRI Materials Reliability Program (MRP) identified that the following aging mechanisms may be applicable to the design of the RVI components in these types of facilities: (a) stress corrosion cracking (SCC), (b) irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC), (c) fatigue, (d) wear, (e) neutron irradiation embrittlement, (f) thermal aging embrittlement, (g) void swelling and irradiation growth or component distortion, or (h) thermal or irradiation-enhanced stress relaxation or irradiation enhanced creep. The methodology in MRP-227-A was approved by the NRC in a safety evaluation dated December 16, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11308A770), which includes those plant-specific applicant/licensee action items that a licensee or applicant applying the MRP-227-A report would need to address and resolve and apply to its licensing basis.
The EPRI MRPs functionality analysis and failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis bases for grouping Westinghouse-designed, B&W-designed and Combustion Engineering (CE)-designed RVI components into these the applicable inspection categories (as evaluated in MRP-227, Revision 1-A) was were based on an assessment of aging effects and relevant
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix C Page 2 of 4 time-dependent aging parameters through a cumulative 60-year licensing period (i.e., 40 years for the initial operating license period plus an additional 20 years during the initial period of extended operation). The EPRI MRPs has not assessedassessment in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, did not evaluate whether operation of Westinghouse-designed, B&W-designed and CE-designed reactors during an SLR operating period (60 to 80 years) would have any impact on the existing susceptibility rankings and inspection categorizations for the RVI components in these designs, as defined in MRP-227, Revision 1-A or its the applicable MRP background documents (e.g., MRP-191, Revision 1, for Westinghouse-designed or CE-designed RVI components or MRP-189, Revision 2, for B&W-designed components).
As described in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A, the applicant may use the MRP-227, Revision 1-A based AMP as an initial reference basis for developing and defining the AMP that will be applied to the RVI components for the subsequent period of extended operation.
However, to use this alternative basis, GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A recommends that the MRP-227, Revision 1-A based AMP be enhanced to include a gap analysis of the components that are within the scope of the AMP. The gap analysis is a basis for identifying and justifying any potential changes to the MRP-227, Revision 1-A based program that may beare necessary to provide reasonable assurance that the effects of age-related degradation will be managed during the subsequent period of extended operation. The criteria for the gap analysis are described in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A. If a gap analysis is needed to establish the appropriate aging management criteria for the RVI components, the applicant has the option of including the gap analysis in the SLRA for its reactor unit(s) or making the gap analysis and any supporting gap analysis documents available in the in-office audit portal for the SLRA review.
Subsequent license renewal (SLR) applicants for units of a PWR design will no longer need to include separate SLRA Appendix C section responses in resolution of the A/LAIs previously issued on MRP-227-A because the A/LAIs were resolved and closed by the staff in the April 25, 2019, safety evaluation for MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The sole A/LAI issued by the staff in the safety evaluation dated April 25, 2019, relates to an applicants methods and timing of inspections that will be applied to the baffle-to-former bolts or core shroud bolts in the plant design. Since an applicants resolution of this A/LAI can be appropriately addressed in the Operating Experience program element discussion for the AMP and in the applicants basis document for the AMP, a separate SLRA Appendix C response for the A/LAI is unnecessary.
Alternatively, the PWR SLRA may define a plant-specific AMP for the RVI components to demonstrate that the RVI components will be managed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3) during the proposed subsequent period of extended operation.
Components to be inspected, parameters monitored, monitoring methods, inspection sample size, frequencies, expansion criteria, and acceptance criteria are justified in the SLRA. The If the AMP is a plant-specific program, the NRC staff will assess the adequacy of the plant-specific AMP against the criteria for the 10 AMP program elements that are defined in Section A.1.2.3 of SRP-SLR Appendix A.1.
3.1.3.2.9 Aging Management of Pressurized Water Reactor Vessel Internals (Applicable to Subsequent License Renewal Periods Only)
EPRI TR-1022863Topical Report No. 3002017168, Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines (MRP-227, Revision 1-A)
(ADAMS Accession Nos. ML19339G350ML12017A191 through ML12017A197 and ML12017A199), provides the industrys current updated aging management recommendations for the RVI components that are included in the design of a PWR facility, based on an analysis
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix C Page 3 of 4 of plant operation for 60 years. The review procedures in this section are based on the staffs assumption that a PWR SLR applicants PWR vessel internals AMP will be based on the I&E guidelines in MRP-227, Revision 1-A for the AMP that will be applied and implemented during the subsequent period of extended operation. The rationale for this assumption is based on the MRP-defined Needed Requirement in Section 7.3 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, which states that the update of MRP-based program shall be implemented by January 1, 2022.
In this reportMRP-227, Revision 1-A, the EPRI MRP identified that the following aging mechanisms may be applicable to the design of the RVI components in these types of facilities:
(a) stress corrosion cracking (SCC), (b) irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC),
(c) fatigue, (d) wear, (e) neutron irradiation embrittlement, (f) thermal aging embrittlement, (g) void swelling and irradiation growth or distortion, or (h) thermal or irradiation-enhanced stress relaxation or irradiation enhanced creep. The methodology in The staff approved MRP-227, Revision 1-A was approved by the NRC in a safety evaluation dated December 16, 2011April 25, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11308A770ML19081A001)., which includes In that safety evaluation, the staff resolved and closed all those plant-specific applicant/licensee action items (A/LAIs) that were previously issued on the previous version of the I&E guidelines (i.e., a licensee or applicant applyingthose in the MRP-227-A report). The assessments of RVI components in the MRP-227, Revision 1-A, report and the MRP-defined background reports for MRP-227, Revision 1-A have not been updated based on an assessment of aging effects over an 80-year operating period.
If a plant-specific AMP is proposed for the RVI components, the reviewer evaluates the adequacy of the applicants AMP on a case-by-case basis against the criteria for plant-specific AMP program elements defined in Sections A.1.2.3.1 through A.1.2.3.10 of SRP-SLR Appendix A.1. The reviewer verifies that the applicant has defined both the type of performance monitoring, condition monitoring, preventative monitoring, or mitigative monitoring AMP activities that will be used for aging management of the RVI components and the specific program element criteria for the AMP that will be used to manage age-related effects in the RVI components during the subsequent period of extended operation.
If a PWR applicant for SLR proposes to use GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M16A, PWR Vessel Internals, as the basis for aging management, the staff reviews the program elements of the AMP against the program element criteria defined in AMP XI.M16A. The staff verifies that the applicant has addressed the relevancy of the A/LAI for MRP-227, Revision 1-A in the Operating Experience program element of the AMP, or in the applicants technical basis document or procedure for the AMP. The staff also verifies that the proposed program includes a gap analysis that provides the identification and justification of:
- Components that screen in for additional aging effects or mechanisms when assessed for aging through the end of the subsequent period of extended operation
- Components that previously screened in for an aging effect or mechanism and the severity of that aging effect or mechanism could significantly increase during the subsequent period of extended operation
- Changes to the existing MRP-227, Revision 1-A program characteristics or criteria, including, but not limited to, changes in inspection categories, inspection criteria, or primary-to-expansion component criteria and relationships
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix C Page 4 of 4 The If a gap analysis is needed to establish the appropriate aging management criteria for the RVI components, the staff evaluates the adequacy and justification of the gap analysis in the safety evaluation report for the SLRA. , sSpecifically, the staffs review should focus on the following aspects of the gap analysis:
- The gap analysis methodology
- The components that screened in for additional aging effects or mechanisms when assessed for aging through the end of the subsequent period of extended operation
- The components for which a previously screened in aging effect or mechanism has been identified as potentially more severe during the subsequent period of extended operation
- Components whose AMP inspection categories have changed from those previously identified for the components in MRP-227, Revision 1-A
- Proposed changes to the aging management program characteristics or criteria identified in the SLRA For those RVI components that screened in for additional aging effects or mechanisms, or that are subject to site-specific or component-specific changes in the EPRI MRPs I&E protocols for the components, the staff also confirms that the applicant has included and justified appropriate AMR line items for the components. The applicant may use the updated version of GALL-SLR Report Item IV.B2.R-423, IV.B3.R-423, or IV.B4.R-423 to address any RVI component for which the EPRI MRP I&E protocols for managing cracking or specific cracking mechanisms in the component are being updated or adjusted on a site-specific or component-specific basis. The applicant may use the updated version of GALL-SLR Report Items IV.B2.R-424, IV.B3.R-424, or IV.B4.R-424 to address any RVI component for which the EPRI MRP I&E protocols for managing non-cracking effects or mechanisms in the component are being updated or adjusted on a site-specific or component-specific basis.
Otherwise an applicant may use an NRC-approved generic methodologyreport such as an approved revision of MRP-227 that considers an operating period of 80 years. In this case, the staff reviews any responses to action items on the aging management methods that may be identified in the NRC approval of the generic methodologyreport.
APPENDIX D PROPOSED REVISIONS TO GALL-SLR REPORT AMP XI.M16A, PWR VESSEL INTERNALS, AND RELATED FSAR SUPPLEMENT EXAMPLE IN GALL-SLR REPORT TABLE XI-01 NUREG-2191, Volumes 1 and 2, Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report, Aging Management Program (AMP) XI.M16A, PWR Vessel Internals, describes one acceptable way to manage aging effects related to pressurized-water reactor (PWR) vessel internals for subsequent license renewal. This AMP is reproduced below in its entirety, with revisions provided in redline format. It supersedes GALL-SLR Report, Revision 0, AMP XI.M16A.
This appendix also provides a redline version of the AMP XI.M16A final safety analysis report (FSAR) supplement summary in GALL-SLR Report Table XI-01, FSAR Supplement Summaries for GALL-SLR Report Chapter XI Aging Management Programs. This entry modifies GALL-SLR Report, Revision 0, Table XI-01.
GALL-SLR Report Aging Management Program XI.M16A Proposed Revisions XI.M16A PWR VESSEL INTERNALS Program Description This program is used to manage the effects of age-related degradation mechanisms that are applicable to the pressurized water reactor (PWR) reactor vessel internal (RVI) components.
These aging effects include: (a) cracking, including stress corrosion cracking (SCC), primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC), irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC), and cracking due to fatigue/cyclic loading; (b) loss of material induced by wear; (c) loss of fracture toughness due to thermal aging and neutron irradiation embrittlement; (d) changes in dimensions due to void swelling or distortion; and (e) loss of preload due to thermal and irradiation-enhanced stress relaxation or creep.
In the absence of an acceptable generic methodology report such as an approved revision of Materials Reliability Program (MRP)-227 that considers an operating period of 80 years, this program may be based on an existing plant program that is consistent with Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Technical Topical Report No. 30020171681022863, Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines, (MRP-227, Revision 1-A), which is implemented in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 03-08, Guideline for the Management of Materials Issues. The staff approved found the augmented updated inspection and evaluation (I&E) guidelines and criteria for PWR RVI components acceptable, as documented in the staffs safety evaluation of April 25, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19081A001), and approved the use of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, for PWR-specific design bases in the staffs letters to the EPRI MRP dated February 19, 2020 and July 7, 2020 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML20006D152 and ML20175A149)NRC Safety Evaluation (SE), Revision 1, on MRP-227 by letter dated December 16, 2011.
Because the guidelines of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, are based on an analysis of the RVI that considers the operating conditions up to a 60-year operating period, these guidelines are supplemented through a gap analysis that identifies enhancements to the program that are
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix D Page 2 of 10 needed to address an 80-year operating period. In this program, the term MRP-227-A (as supplemented) is used to describe either MRP-227, Revision 1-A, as supplemented by this gap analysis, or an acceptable generic methodology report such as an approved revision of MRP-227 that considers an operating period of 80 years.
The program applies the guidance in MRP-227-A (as supplemented) for inspecting, evaluating, and, if applicable, dispositioning non-conforming RVI components at the facility. These examinations provide reasonable assurance that the effects of age-related degradation mechanisms will be managed during the period of extended operation. The program includes expanding periodic examinations and other inspections, if the extent of the degradation identified exceeds the expected levels.
The methodology used in the development of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, guidance for selecting RVI components for inclusion in the inspection sample is based on a four-step ranking process.
Through this process, the RVIs for all threeWestinghouse and Combustion Engineering (CE)
PWR designs were assigned to one of the following four groupsinspection categories:
Primary, Expansion, Existing Programs, and or No Additional Measures. Through this process, the RVIs for Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) PWR designs were assigned to one of the following three inspection categories: Primary, Expansion, or No Additional Measures.
Definitions of each group category are provided in MRP-227, Revision 1-A.
In the absence of an acceptable generic methodology such as an approved revision of MRP-227 that considers an operating period of 80 years, the gap analysis described below is used to provide reasonable assurance that the aging management for the RVI components identified in the four groups is appropriate for 80 years of operation.
The result of this four-step sample selection process is a set of Primary internals component locations for each of the three plant designs that are inspected because they are expected to show the leading indications of the degradation effects., with another set The category of Expansion internals component locations that are is specified to expand the sample should the indications from the Primary components be more severe than anticipated.
The degradation effects in a third set of internals locations (which apply only to the RVI components in Westinghouse- or CE-designed PWRs) are deemed to be adequately managed by Existing Programs, such as American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code),Section XI,1 Examination Category B-N-3, examinations of core support structures. A fourth set of internals locations are deemed to require No Additional Measures.
In the absence of an acceptable generic report such as an approved revision of MRP-227 that considers an operating period of 80 years, the gap analysis described below is used to provide reasonable assurance that the aging management activities designated for the RVI components identified in the four groups is appropriate for 80 years of operation. The gap analysis may include and incorporate supplemental guidelines developed and recommended for the RVI components.
If the program is based on MRP-227, Revision 1-A, with a gap analysis, the inspection categories, inspection criteria, and other program characteristics required byestablished in 1

Evaluation and Technical Basis
- 1. Scope of Program: The scope of the program includes all RVI components based on the plants applicable nuclear steam supply system design. The scope of the program applies the methodology and guidanceguidelines in MRP-227-A (as supplemented),
which provides an augmented inspection and flaw evaluation methodology guidelines for assuring the functional integrity of safety-related internals in commercial operating U.S.
PWR nuclear power plants designed by Babcock & Wilcox (B&W), Combustion Engineering (CE), and Westinghouse. Since these types of AMPs are considered to be living programs by the licensees implementing the programs, the scope of program may also include additional reports, documents or guidelines recommended for implementation by the EPRI MRP, PWR Owners Group, or industry vendors. This may include (but is not limited to) applicable WCAP or BAW technical/topical reports issued by Westinghouse or B&W, or supplemental guidelines or industry alert letters issued by the EPRI MRP, PWR Owners Group, or industry vendors.
The scope of components includes core support structures, those RVI components that serve an intended license renewal safety function pursuant to criteria in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 54.4(a)(1), and other RVI components whose failure could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of any of the functions identified in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1)(i), (ii), or (iii). In addition, ASME Code,Section XI includes inspection requirements for PWR removable core support structures in Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-N-3, which are in addition to any inspections that are implemented in accordance with MRP-227-A (as supplemented).
The scope of the program does not include consumable items, such as fuel assemblies, reactivity control assemblies, and nuclear instrumentation. The scope of the program also does not include welded attachments to the internal surface of the reactor vessel because these components are considered to be ASME Code Class 1 appurtenances to the reactor vessel and are managed in accordance with an applicants AMP that corresponds to GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M1, ASME Code,Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC, and IWD.
This program element specifies if whether the program is based on an existing program that is consistent with MRP-227, Revision 1-A, with a gap analysis, or if itthe program is based on an acceptable generic methodology report that covers an 80-year service life for the RVI components, such as an approved revision of MRP-227 that considers an operating period of 80 years. If based on MRP-227, Revision 1-A, with a gap analysis, the scope of the program focuses on identification and justification of the following:
- a. Components that screen in for additional aging effects or mechanisms when assessed for the 60-80 year operating period.
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix D Page 4 of 10
- b. Components that previously screened in for an aging effect or mechanism and the severity of that aging effect or mechanism could significantly increase for the 60-80 year operating period.
- c. Changes to the existing MRP-227, Revision 1-A, program characteristics or criteria, including but not limited to changes in inspection categories, inspection criteria, or primary-to-expansion component criteria and relationships.
- 2. Preventive Actions: The program relies on PWR water chemistry control to prevent or mitigate aging effects that can be induced by corrosive aging mechanisms [e.g., loss of material induced by general, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, or stress corrosion cracking or any of its forms (SCC, PWSCC, or IASCC)]. Reactor coolant water chemistry is monitored and maintained in accordance with the Water Chemistry Program, as described in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M2, Water Chemistry.
- 3. Parameters Monitored or Inspected: The program manages the following age-related degradation effects and mechanisms that are applicable in general to RVI components at the facility: (a) cracking induced by SCC, PWSCC, IASCC, or fatigue/cyclic loading; (b) loss of material induced by wear; (c) loss of fracture toughness induced by thermal aging and neutron irradiation embrittlement; (d) changes in dimensions due to void swelling or distortion; and (e) loss of preload due to thermal and irradiation-enhanced stress relaxation or creep.
For the management of cracking, the program monitors for evidence of surface-breaking linear discontinuities if a visual inspection technique is used as the non-destructive examination (NDE) method or for relevant flaw presentation signals if a volumetric ultrasonic testing (UT) method is used as the NDE method. For the management of loss of material, the program monitors for gross or abnormal surface conditions that may be indicative of loss of material occurring in the components. For the management of loss of preload, the program monitors for gross surface conditions that may be indicative of loosening in applicable bolted, fastened, keyed, or pinned connections. The program does not directly monitor for loss of fracture toughness that is induced by thermal aging or neutron irradiation embrittlement. Instead, the impact of loss of fracture toughness on component integrity is indirectly managed by: (1) using visual or volumetric examination techniques to monitor for cracking in the components, and (2) applying applicable reduced fracture toughness properties in the flaw evaluations, in cases where cracking is detected in the components and is extensive enough to necessitate a supplemental flaw growth or flaw tolerance evaluation. The program uses physical measurements to monitor for any dimensional changes due to void swelling or distortion.
Specifically, the program implements the parameters monitored/inspected criteria consistent with the applicable tables in Section 4, Aging Management Requirements, in MRP-227-A (as supplemented).
- 4. Detection of Aging Effects: The inspection methods are defined and established in Section 4 of MRP-227-A (as supplemented). Standards for implementing the inspection methods are defined and established in MRP-228. In all cases, well-established inspection methods are selected. These methods include volumetric UT examination methods for detecting flaws in bolting and various visual (VT-3, VT-1, and EVT-1) examinations for detecting effects ranging from general conditions to detection and sizing of surface-breaking discontinuities. Surface examinations may also be used as an
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix D Page 5 of 10 alternative to visual examinations for detection and sizing of surface-breaking discontinuities.
Cracking caused by SCC, IASCC, and fatigue is monitored/inspected by either VT-1 or EVT-1 examination (for internals other than bolting) or by volumetric UT examination (bolting). VT-3 visual methods may be applied for the detection of cracking in non-redundant RVI components only when the flaw tolerance of the component, as evaluated for reduced fracture toughness properties, is known and the component has been shown to be tolerant of easily detected large flaws, even under reduced fracture toughness conditions. VT-3 visual methods are acceptable for the detection of cracking in redundant RVI components (e.g., redundant bolts or pins used to secure a fastened RVI assembly).
In addition, VT-3 examinations are used to monitor/inspect for loss of material induced by wear and for general aging conditions, such as gross distortion caused by void swelling and irradiation growth or by gross effects of loss of preload caused by thermal and irradiation- enhanced stress relaxation and creep.
The program adopts the guidance in MRP-227-A (as supplemented) for defining the Expansion Criteria that need to be applied to the inspection findings of Primary components and for expanding the examinations to include additional Expansion components. RVI component inspections are performed consistent with the inspection frequency and sampling bases for Primary components, Existing Programs components, and Expansion components in MRP-227-A (as supplemented).
In some cases (as defined in MRP-227, Revision 1-A), physical measurements are used as supplemental techniques to manage for the gross effects of wear, loss of preload due to stress relaxation, or for changes in dimensions due to void swelling or distortion.
Inspection coverages for Primary and Expansion RVI components are implemented consistent with Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of the NRC SE, Revision 1, onthose established in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, or as modified by a gap analysis.
This program element should justify the appropriateness of the inspection methods, sample size criteria, and inspection frequency criteria for managing the effects of degradation during the subsequent period of extended operation, including any changes to these criteria from their prior assessment in MRP-227, Revision 1-A.
- 5. Monitoring and Trending: The methods for monitoring, recording, evaluating, and trending the data that result from the programs inspections are given in Section 6 of MRP-227-A (as supplemented) and its subsections. Component reinspection frequencies for Primary and Expansion category components are defined in specific tables in Section 4 of the MRP-227-A report (as supplemented). The examination and re-examinations that are implemented in accordance with MRP-227-A (as supplemented), together with the criteria specified in MRP-228 for inspection methodologiesstandards, inspection procedures, and inspection personnel, provide for timely detection, reporting, and implementation of corrective actions for the aging effects and mechanisms managed by the program.
The program applies applicable fracture toughness properties, including reductions for thermal aging or neutron embrittlement, in the flaw evaluations of the components in
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix D Page 6 of 10 cases where cracking is detected in an RVI component and is extensive enough to warrant a supplemental flaw growth or flaw tolerance evaluation.
For singly-represented components, the program includes criteria to evaluate the aging effects in the inaccessible portions of the components and the resulting impact on the intended function(s) of the components. For redundant components (such as redundant bolts, screws, pins, keys, or fasteners, some of which are accessible to inspection and some of which are not accessible to inspection), the program includes criteria to evaluate the aging effects in the population of components that are inaccessible by the applicable inspection technique and the resulting impact on the intended function(s) of the assembly containing the components.
Flaw evaluation methods, including recommendations for flaw depth sizing and for crack growth determinations as well as for performing applicable limit load, linear elastic and elastic-plastic fracture analyses of relevant flaw indications, are defined in MRP-227-A (as supplemented).
- 6. Acceptance Criteria: Section 5 of MRP-227-A (as supplemented), which includes Table 5-1 for B&W-designed RVIs, Table 5-2 for CE-designed RVIs, and Table 5-3 for Westinghouse-designed RVIs, provides the specific examination and flaw evaluation acceptance criteria for the Primary and Expansion RVI component examination methods. Consistent with the criteria in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, the acceptance criteria for some Expansion category components may be established through performance of a component-specific analysis or component replacements, particularly if the components are inaccessible for inspection or the industry has yet to develop adequate inspection methods for the components. For RVI components addressed by examinations performed in accordance with the ASME Code,Section XI, the acceptance criteria in IWB-3500 are applicable. For RVI components covered by other Existing Programs, the acceptance criteria are described within the applicable reference document. As applicable, the program establishes acceptance criteria for any physical measurement monitoring methods that are credited for aging management of particular RVI components.
This program element should justify the appropriateness of the acceptance criteria for managing the effects of degradation during the subsequent period of extended operation, including any changes to acceptance criteria based on the gap analysis.
- 7. Corrective Actions: Results that do not meet the acceptance criteria are addressed in the applicants corrective action program under those specific portions of the quality assurance (QA) program that are used to meet Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Appendix A of the Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report describes how an applicant may apply its 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, QA program to fulfill the corrective actions element of this AMP for both safety-related and nonsafety-related structures and components (SCs) within the scope of this program.
Any detected conditions that do not satisfy the examination acceptance criteria are required to be dispositioned through the plant corrective action program, which may require repair, replacement, or analytical evaluation for continued service until the next inspection. The disposition will ensure that design basis functions of the reactor internals components will continue to be fulfilled for all licensing basis loads and events.
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix D Page 7 of 10 The implementation of the guidance in MRP-227-A (as supplemented), plus the implementation of any ASME Code requirements, provides an acceptable level of aging management of safety-related components addressed in accordance with the corrective actions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B or its equivalent, as applicable.
Other alternative corrective actions bases may be used to disposition relevant conditions if they have been previously approved or endorsed by the NRC. Alternative corrective actions not approved or endorsed by the NRC will be submitted for NRC approval prior to their implementation.
- 8. Confirmation Process: The confirmation process is addressed through those specific portions of the QA program that are used to meet Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Appendix A of the GALL-SLR Report describes how an applicant may apply its 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, QA program to fulfill the confirmation process element of this AMP for both safety-related and nonsafety-related SCs within the scope of this program.
Site quality assurance procedures, review and approval processes, and administrative controls are implemented in accordance with the recommendations of NEI 03-08 and the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, or their equivalent, as applicable. The implementation of the guidance in Section 7 of MRP-227-A (as supplemented), in conjunction with NEI 03-08 and other guidance documents, reports, or methodologies guidelines referenced in this AMP, provides an acceptable level of quality and an acceptable basis for confirming the quality of inspections, flaw evaluations, and corrective actions.
- 9. Administrative Controls: Administrative controls are addressed through the QA program that is used to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, associated with managing the effects of aging. Appendix A of the GALL-SLR Report describes how an applicant may apply its 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, QA program to fulfill the administrative controls element of this AMP for both safety-related and nonsafety-related SCs within the scope of this program.
The administrative controls for these types of programs, including their implementing procedures and review and approval processes, are implemented in accordance with the recommended industry guidelines and criteria in NEI 03-08, and are under existing site 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Quality Assurance Programs, or their equivalent, as applicable.
The basis defined in Section 7 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, found acceptable as documented in the staffs safety evaluation dated April 25, 2019, provides the basis for implementing the program in accordance with NEI 03-08. Administrative activities for keeping the program implementation procedures up to date with the various industry reports within the scope of the AMP (e.g.,MRP-227, Revision 1-A) fall within the scope of this Administrative Controls program element. The evaluation in Section 3.5 of the NRCs SE, Revision 1, on MRP-227-A provides the basis for endorsing NEI 03-08. This includes endorsement of the criteria in NEI 03-08 for notifying the NRC of any deviation from the I&E methodology in MRP-227-A and justifying the deviation no later than 45 days after its approval by a licensee executive.
- 10. Operating Experience: The review and assessment of relevant operating experience (OE) for its impacts on the program, including implementing procedures, are governed by NEI 03-08 and Appendix A of MRP-227, Revision 1-A. Consistent with MRP-227,
SLR-ISG-PWRVI-2020-XX: Appendix D Page 8 of 10 Revision 1-A, the reporting of inspection results and OE is treated as a Needed category item under the implementation of NEI 03-08.
The program is informed and enhanced when necessary through the systematic and ongoing review of both plant-specific and industry OE including research and development such that the effectiveness of the AMP is evaluated consistent with the discussion in Appendix B of the GALL-SLR Report.
