Dear RES and NRR BCs:
RES is hosting a workshop on ex-plant materials harvesting at NRC headquarters on March 7-8, 2017. The scope includes any materials that could benefit from harvesti ng, including metallic, electrical, and concrete components. I have attached the agenda and workshop introduction slides that cover meeting logistics, motivation, approach, expected outcome, and session expectations.
Th is workshop includes about two dozen external participants, including representatives from DOE and EPRI as well as international research organizations in Japan, Europe, and Canada. Unfortunately, these is limited space available for NRC staff in the room . We have reached out to selected staff in RES and NRR to participate in the room to ensure we can fu lly support the workshop topics. A webinar will be available to allow additional NRC staff to observe and participate :
https:Uattendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6076202901971284226 .
If you have any questions or need add itional information about the workshop, please contact myself or Matt Hiser on my staff.

Motivation
- With plants shutting down both in the U.S. and internationally, there are increasing opportunities to harvest components from decommissioning plants
- Past harvesting efforts generally more reactive as opportunities arose, rather than proactively planned
- Ex-plant materials may be valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions
- Can reduce the uncertainty associated with the applicability of the aging conditions
- Insights from research on harvested materials can address technical data needs identified for extended plant operation
- Lessons learned from past harvesting programs can help improve future harvesting efforts
- Challenges encountered in previous programs can be shared and mitigated or avoided in future programs
Approach
- Domestic and international researchers, industry, regulators, and decommissioning companies' discuss benefits and challenges with ex-plant harvesting
- Encourage sharing of lessons learned as well as areas of common interest
- Workshop consists of topical sessions with short presentations and significant time for open discussion
- Goal is to maximize engagement among meeting participants
- Scope includes any materials aging issue that could benefit from harvesting, including metals, cables, and concrete
Expected Outcome
- Participants become better informed and aware of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting
- Discussions help identify areas of common interest for harvesting to address technical data needs
- Presentations and discussions provide the starting point for a "database" of harvested materials and future harvesting opp o rt unities
- Contacts are made among research organizations to allow for further discussion of specific harvesting projects

03/21/16 Meeting Summary: Strategic Harvesting of Ex-plant Materials Participants : Robert Tregoning , Roger Kalikian, Jeff Poehler, Greg Oberson , Aloysius Obodoako, Matthew Hiser Greg suggested that research and test reactors should be considered for harvesting in addition to decommissioned plants. In particular, Savannah River and Hanford national labs were mentioned. In support of Greg's suggestion , Rob indicated that the scope should be broadened to include ex-plant materials, which would include harvesting from operating reactors. Aloysius stated that he will contact the decommissioning branch at the NRC to obtain decommissioning schedules to provide input to the harvesting plan . In addition , Aloysius indicated that he will contact the DORL PMs for the plants scheduled for decommissioning so that the licensees may be informed of the NRC's plan for harvesting. Jeff suggested that we review licensees FSARs to identify those SSCs and environments for possible inclusion for harvesting. Roger indicated that he is no longer in DLR and that another point of contact from DLR should be identified .
Roger suggested that Seung Min be included as the point of contact for DLR. It was stated that EPRI should be brought in on the discussion in regards to harvesting to facilitate interactions with licensees' of decommissioned plants. The group agreed that having a public workshop on harvesting of ex-plant materials around the summer timeframe is a good idea. It was suggested that DOE , industry, and international counterparts be invited to the workshop.

Materials Harvesting When: Wednesday, May 16, 2018 9:00 AM-10:00 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).
Where: Tl0D40 Rescheduling for hopefully a better time for everyone.
We'd like to meet with electrical and concrete research staff to discuss the latest status of the materials harvesting
activities under Task 2 of UNR RR-2017-006.
The four topics we'd like to update you on / discuss in this meeting are:
J.CMB staff development of prioritization criteria for harvesting needs and lessons learned from exerci sing them for metals 2.CMB staff effort to development inventory of prev iously harvested materials already available at lab faci lities 3.Latest status of harvesting plans for electrical and concrete components 4.Pulling relevant information from license renewal documents for decommi ssioning plants

As promised, we've put together an announcement and a draft agenda for the harvesting workshop on March 7th and ath . I'd like you both to take a look at the agenda prior to our call next week so that we can discuss the draft agenda during the call. Our proposal is that we agree on the topics and organizations for the talks and then explicitly solicit presenters from those organizations. We'd like to finalize the agenda prior to the holidays if possible so that we can start contacting presenters. Please let me know if you have any questions prior to our call next week.
As always, thanks for your help with this.

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Location: NRG HQ in Rockville, MD Dates: March 7-8, 2017 Motivation:
- There are increasing opportunities to harvest the safety-critical components from decommissioning plants, both domestic and international.
- The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.
- Data from ex-plant materials should help address technical gaps identified for extended operation of nuclear power plants due to highly relevant aging conditions.
Purpose and Objective:
- For NRG staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.
- Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated.
Workshop Topics:
- Harvesting decision-making and prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting
- Sources of materials:
o Decommissioning reactors o Operating reactors - replaced components o Previous harvesting programs - "boneyards" o Tracking available materials
- Harvesting process o Lessons learned from harvesting experience o Perspective of utility-owner and decommissioning contractor on harvesting o Communication and coordination between decommissioning and researchers
- International collaborative programs on specific components at specific plants

Ha rvesting Worksho p Sherry/Rich:
I wanted to thank you again for the discussion that we had last week on the harvesting workshop agenda. I think it was productive and I appreciate the perspective you both brought. I've attached an announcement for the workshop that we're planning to use to solicit participants. Also, we've revised the agenda substantially based on the feedback you both provided. I think it captures the issues you had and I personally think that this is a better model to follow for the workshop.
I'd like to ask you both for two things prior to leaving for the holidays.
- 1. Could you provide me with any additional changes to the workshop agenda that you recommend? Just mark-up and send back the attached agenda. I'll consolidate and address any remaining suggestions from you both.
- 2. Could you provide me with a POC for coordinating each of the 5 workshop sessions? The idea is for the POCs to work together for planning each session.
Here are the POCs from the NRG:
- a. Session 1 - Rob Tregoning
- b. Session 2 - Matt Hiser
- c. Session 3 - Pat Purtscher
- d. Session 4 - Matt Hiser
- e. Session 5 - Rob Tregoning We're hoping to get the planning teams in place before Christmas so that we can hit the ground running in early January to line up all the speakers.
Thanks again for your help. If I don't talk to you beforehand, I hope both you and your families have a Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year.

[External_Sender] FW: Information on t he 4th international conference on nuclear power plant life management (PLiM) which will be held in Oct. 23- 26 at Lyon France Patrick, Matt:
I presume you are aware of the upcoming PLiM meeting. This may be a good venue to talk/monitor about the harvesting issues and needs. I am not sure if either of you is planning on participating in this, but I know that LWRS is plannirng on sending a contingent, and I am looking into whether I can participate as well.
In a related note, the IFRAM (International Forum on Reactor Aging Management -funded at one point by NRC, though I believe it is no longer funded by NRC) is holding a series of conference calls later this month and in early March, to work towards a series of papers for the PLiM meeting, to be presented in an IFRAM session. I plan to participate in these calls. Is there any interest on your part in finding out the
outcomes, and is it OK for me to bring up the harvesting project/workshop as an example of how aging management may be better informed through R&D on harvested materials/components?

Information on the 4th international conference on nuclear power plant life management (PLiM) which will be held in Oct. 23- 26 at Lyon France
Dear All,
The IAEA has organized the international conferences on Nuclear Power Plant Life Management Conference in 2002 at Budapest, Hungary, in 2007 at Shanghai, China and in 2012 at Salt Lake City, USA continuously.
Now time is preparing the 4th international conference on Nuclear Power Plant Life Management (PLiM) which will be held in Oct. 23- 26 2017 at Lyon, France.
The main objectives of the conference are to:
- Emphasize the role of PLiM programmes in assuring a safe and reliable nuclear power plant operation;
- Identify the economic impacts of PLiM and long term operation programmes, as well as methodologies for their evaluation
- Provide a forum for information exchange on national and international PLiM programmes, regulatory practises and the application in ageing management.
We will discuss and share operation experiences and information on following six main topics;
- Approaches to plant life management
- Economics of plant life management
- Ageing management and preparation of long term operation
- Configuration and modification management for safety enhancement
- Human factors and managerial aspects
- Regulatory approaches to ageing management and long term operation Please send your two page synopses before the end of April 2017 by e-mail or IDICO system.
See attached flyer.
All information will be available in conference website :

- Allen, This is the reply I got from the PLiM organizers. It says only "your paper," so I am *assuming* they are referring to the overview one, not the one specific to harvesting. I have not heard whether the harvesting abstract was accepted for presentation.

Announcement of Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop
Dear Colleagues:
RES is hosting a workshop on ex-plant materials harvesting at NRC headquarters on March 7-8, 2017. The scope includes metallic, electrical, and concrete materials or components that could benefit from harvesting. I have attached the draft agenda and workshop introduction slides that cover meeting logistics, motivation, approach , expected outcome, and session expectations.
This workshop includes about two dozen external participants, including representatives from DOE and EPRI as well as international organizations from Japan, Europe, and Canada.
A webinar will be available to allow NRG staff to observe and participate in the workshop:
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6076202901971284226 .
If you have any questions or need additional information about the workshop, please contact myself or Matt Hiser on my staff.

- Workshop is a non-public meeting to encourage open discussion
- Presentations and meeting summary will be distributed among meeting participants only
- GoToMeeting webinar will be available to support additional attendees Webinar attendees will be primarily observers
- Limited opportun ities for webinar attendee participation in discussion if time allows Discussion wi U be recorded through GoToMeeting software to aid capturing discussion in meeting summary
Motivation
- With plants shutting down both in the U.S. and internationally, there are increasing opportunities to harvest components from decommissioning plants
- Past harvesting efforts generally more reactive as opportunities arose, rather than proactively planned
- Ex-plant materials may be valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions
- Can reduce the uncertainty associated with the applicability of the aging conditions
- Insights from research on harvested materials can address technical data needs identified for extended plant operation
- Lessons learned from past harvesting programs can help improve future harvesting efforts Challenges encountered in previous programs can be shared and mitigated or avoided in future programs
Approach
- Domestic and international researchers, industry, regulators, 1
and decom1m issioning companies discuss benefits and challenges with ex-plant harvesting
- Encourage sharing of lessons learned as well as areas of common interest
- Workshop consists of topical sessions with short presentations and significant time for open discussion
- Goal is to maximize engagement among meeting participants
- Scope includes any materials aging issue that could benefit from harvesting, including metals, cables, and concrete
Expected Outcome
- Participants become better informed and aware of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting
- Discussions help identify areas of common interest for harvesting to address technical data needs
- Presentations and discussions provide the starting point for a "database" of harvested materials and future harvesting o p po rt unities
- Contacts are made among research organizations to allow for further discussion of specific harvesting projects
- Workshop summary documenting discussion will be distributed among participants

I wanted to reach out to your branch to see if you have information on decommissioning schedules/plans or the plants that have announced their intention to close and decommission.
Do you know if this type of information is readily available? If so, is there a particular member of your staff that I should reach out to?

[External_Sender] FW: Information on the 4th international conference on nuclear power plant life management (PLiM) which will be held in Oct. 23- 26 at Lyon France Patrick, Matt:
I presume you are aware of the upcoming PLiM meeting. This may be a good venue to talk/monitor about the harvesting issues and needs. I am not sure if either of you is planning on participating in this, but I know that LWRS is planning on sending a contingent, and I am looking into whet her I can participate as well.
In a related note, the IFRAM (International Forum on Reactor Aging Management - funded at one point by NRC, though I believe it is no longer funded by NRC) is holding a series of conference calls later this month and in early March, to work towards a series of papers for the PLiM meeting, to be presented in an IFRAM session . I plan to participate in these calls. Is there any interest on your part in finding out the outcomes, and is it OK for me to bring up the harvesting project/workshop as an example of how aging management may be better informed through R&D on harvested materials/components?

The NRG plans to leverage future. Prevailing questions are: How will AM be used in nuclear power plants, and year 2018. In 2017, industry prototyping efforts involved use of the direct metal ongoing research and evaluation of this technology being performed by Federal when? What is the regulatory infrastructure for determining how safe it is?

The service performance and aging reliability of specific DMLM-produced components that may be accepted by the Additive Manufacturing for Reactor Materials and Components public meeting: degradation of AM parts are critical. It will be essential to compare the NRG, including design, precursor materials, finished material properties, structural performance of parts from AM and those from conventional manufacturing integrity, nondestructive evaluation, and quality assurance.

FW: Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants Importance: High Another twist to the harvesting paper/presentation/poster for the PliM conference.
I am willing to make a presentation at this "side event" if RES will put together slides - I would shoot for 20 minutes.
A couple of questions on this topic:
- 2. Has a paper been prepared (it appears from below that this is possible for inclusion in the conference proceedings)? If so, can I get a copy of it, or other background information.
- 3. When will the poster be available to be mailed to Lyon? (Can I get a copy of what it will look like?)
I am sure that other questiions will arise.
Allen

[External_Sender] Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants
Dear Allen,
Regarding " Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants", now this paper will be presented on poster session in programme.
I think all of participants will be very interesting to this topic. But we have no time slot to present in oral session. Thus I recommend to arrange a side event to introduce this topic from 13:20 -14:00 on 24, Oct (Tuesday) if you want.
We can arrange the meeting room for presentation and discussion. Please think about and let me know.

FW: Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants Importance: High Another twist to the harvesting paper/presentation/poster for the PLiM conference.
I am willing to make a presentation at this "side event" if RES will put together slides - I would shoot for 20 minutes.
A couple of questions on this topic:
- 2. Has a paper been prepared (it appears from below that this is possible for inclusion in the conference proceedings)? If so, can I get a copy of it, or other background information.
- 3. When will the poster be available to be mailed to Lyon? (Can I get a copy of what it will look like?)
I am sure that other questiions will arise.

Dear Allen ,
Regarding " Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants", now this paper will be presented on poster session in programme.
I think all of participants will be very interesting to th is topic. But we have no time slot to present in oral session. Thus I recommend to arrange a side event to introduce this topic from 13:20 -14:00 on 24, Oct (Tuesday) if you want.
We can arrange the meeting room for presentation and discussion. Please think about and let me know.

HOLT INTERNAT I ONAL E C Holtec International to Purchase Oyster Creek Generating Station and Decommission Nuclear Plant Within Eight Years
Exelon Generation, tlhe owner of the nation's largest fleet of nuclear energy facilities, and Holtec International, a global leader in used nuclear fuel management technologies, today announced an agreement for Holtec to purchase Oyster Creek Generating Station.
Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject to regulatory approvals, Holtec will assume ownership of the site, real property and used nuclear fuel.
As the site's owner, Holtec will manage all site decommissioning and restoration activities.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019, pending the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's and other regulatory approval, and will not impact the scheduled shutdown of Oyster Creek, as previously announced.
Holtec will be accelerating Oyster Creek's decommissioning timeline with the highest standard of safety, quality and environmental stewardship.
"This landmark agreement is good news for Oyster Creek employees, the Lacey community and the state of New Jersey," said Bryan Hanson, Exelon Generation's chief nuclear officer. "Holtec's commitment to the nuclear industry and its presence in New Jersey will allow many of our employees previously facing relocation to continue living and working in the Garden State. Further, with three decades of experience in nuclear fuel technologies and a partnership with global decommissioning leader SNC-Lavalin, Holtec is ideally positioned to complete the decommissioning of Oyster Creek safely and swiftly."
"It is with wistful pride that we, a New Jersey-born company which has spread around the globe, will take over the State's oldest nuclear plant and decommission it with the latest technologies that will preserve the pristine New Jersey shore and accrete minimal dose to the workers. We hope to offer job
opportunities to the many Oyster Creek-based Exelon employees who may wish to pursue exciting career opportunities with our company, " said Holtec's President & CEO, Dr. Kris Singh.
As the new owner of the plant, Holtec will contract with Comprehensive Decommissioning International, LLC (CDI) to perform the decontamination and decommissioning of the plant. CDI is a joint venture company of Holtec and SNC-Lavalin. Headquartered in Camden, N.J., CDI will bring the expertise of both companies together to ensure safe, rapid, and economic nuclear plant decommissioning. With its experience and state-of-the-art technologies, COi is well equipped to decommission Oyster Creek within eight years, more than 50 years ahead of the industry-allowed 60-year timeline.
As part of the sale agreement, CDI will offer employment to Oyster Creek decommissioning employees, effective upon the transaction closing.
Holtec will submit a new Oyster Creek decommissioning plan, which must be reviewed and approved by the NRC. The process provides opportunities for public review and comment on the plan during the NRC evaluation period.
Holtec recently submitted a license application for an autonomous consolidated interim storage facility (CISF) in New Mexico to accept spent nuclear fuel from all nuclear plants in the US, including from Oyster Creek. Once licensed, fuel could be sent to the New Mexico CISF based upon the established use of interim storage locations by the federal government which would allow Holtec to return the full site to unrestricted use once the fuel has been transported off-site.
The funds from the site's decommissioning trust will be transferred to Holtec
upon closing and will be used by Holtec to cover the cost of the decommissioning. The trust fund was established decades ago to pay for decommissioning, and no additional funds from utility customers will be required.
In February 2018, Exelon Generation announced Oyster Creek will permanently shut down this fall at the end of its current operating cycle. Exelon Generation is required to close Oyster Creek no later than December 20119 as part of an agreement with the State of New Jersey.
Oyster Creek is located about 60 miles east of Philadelphia in Ocean County, N.J. The plant produces 636 net megawatts of zero-emission electricity at full power, enough electricity to supply 600,000 typical homes, the equivalent to all homes in Monmouth and Ocean counties combined.
About Holtec International Ho/tee International is a privately held energy technology company with operation centers in Florida, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania in the US, and globally in Brazil, Dubai, India, South Africa, Spain, UK and Ukraine.
Ho/tee's principal business concentration is in the nuclear power industry.
Ho/tee has played a preeminent role since the 1980s by densifying wet storage in nuclear plants' spent fuel pools deferring the need for and expense of alternative measures by as much as two decades at over 110 reactor units in the US and abroad. Dry storage and transport of nuclear fuel is another area in which Ho/tee is recognized as the foremost innovator and industry leader with a dominant market share and an active market presence in eighteen countries.
Among the Company's pioneering endeavors are the world's first below-ground Consolidated Interim Storage Facility being developed in New Mexico and a 160-Megawatt walk away safe small modular reactor, SMR-160. The SMR-160
is developed to bring cost competitive carbon-free energy to all corners of the earth including water-challenged regions. Ho/tee is also a major supplier of special-purpose pressure vessels and critical-service heat exchange equipment such as air-cooled condensers, steam generators, feedwater heaters, and water-cooled condensers. Virtually all products produced by the Company are built in its three large manufacturing plants in the US and one in India. Thanks to a solid record of consistent profitability and steady growth since its founding in 1986, Ho/tee has no history of any long-term debt and enjoys a platinum credit rating from the financial markets. Nearly 100 US and international patents protect the Company's intellectual property from predation by its global competitors and lend predictable stability to its business base.

FW: HRP/IAEA/NEA Decommissioning Workshop-Third Announcement Hi Bruce, I am involved with the Halden Reactor Project as part of my responsibilities here in RES and I wanted to share with you a decommissioning workshop that Halden is planning in Norway in February of next year, in case you or any of your staff are interested. NRC is a member of the Halden Reactor Project, so it looks like there would be no registration fee from my reading of the announcement below. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to the contacts listed below or I can help facilitate communication if you'd prefer.
I a lso spoke with you a few months ago regarding harvesting materials from decommissioning plants. Regarding the material harvesting effort, we are looking at reaching out to plants (both already shutdown and planning to shutdown) to inquire about technical information regarding what materials they have available and whether tlney might be of interest for harvesting. I want to make sure this is coordinated through the proper channels, so I am reaching out to DORL in NRR for plants still operating. For plants that have already shutdown, would your branch be the proper place within NRC to work through in order to find information regarding contacts to the plants/utilities that I could reach out to?
Thanks!

As promised, I have checked-in with Steve Frankl and Amy Hull, and we agree that since we (a number of folks have contributed) have made significant progress in preparing the research presentation, we would be happy to accept your offer. We are in the 'home stretch' for completing the work, and it should be ready, in draft, within the next week. Once we get all the material, we can consider what aspects of it you can deliver based on the agenda and how the research sessions align or not align with your sessions.
Let's talk about how we see things unfolding.
Thanks. Have a good weekend!

that we are even planning on sending additional staff to the conference given all our higher priority program activities. He also thinks, and I agree, that we address research to support SLR through a number of different venues in our interactions with the international community.
Our plans were well intended, however, given our priorities coupled with our drive to be more efficient and effective in the conduct of research we will not participate in this year's PLiM Conference.

RE: I recommend we go forward with NRR presenting our work.....: PLiM Conference Allen:
This is the only RES paper for PLiM. Once you have the paper and slides, I would expect that only a brief meeting will be necessary on this to make sure that we are in alignment on key messages and we can answer any questions that you have. The other thing that we'd like you at PLiM is represent us at a side-bar meeting on IFRAM. We will therefore need to get you up-to-speed on the efforts of IFRAM, the players at the side bar, and the objectives that we are trying to accomplish during that meeting. This effort may require more time to get you up to speed. I estimate that we will need between 1 - 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to cover both topics, depending on the questions that you have and the level of discussion depth.
Your schedule is challenging. Can you identify a few windows between now and 10/12 when we can meet to discuss both PliM and the IFRAM side-bar meeting?

RE: I recommend we go forward with NRR presenting our work ..... : PLiM Conference
- Allen, As promised, I have checked-in with Steve Frankl and Amy Hull, and we agree that since we (a number of folks have contributed) have made significant progress in preparing the research presentation, we would be happy to accept your offer. We are in the 'home stretch' for completing the work, and it should be ready, in draft, within the next week. Once we get all the material, we can consider what aspects of it you can deliver based on the agenda and how the research sessions align or not align with your sessions.
Let's talk about how we see things unfolding.
Thanks. Have a good weekend!

- Brian, Carol is out today. I have been working on both presentations and they are both in pretty good shape and soon coming to you to sign off on. I recommend that we let NRR make the presentations for RES; many people in RES/DE already have much time invested in writing the papers, and preparing both the oral and poster presentations. We are in the 'home stretch' of this work, and it would be unfortunate to withdraw our presentations.

PLiM Conference Eric, George, Allen, After further discussion of this matter with Mike Weber, RES has decided to not participate in the PLiM Conference this year. Notwithstanding that George has been invited as Keynote speaker, and the RES travel was previously (initially) approved, Mike has expressed concerns that we are even planning on sending additional staff to the conference given all our higher priority program activities. He also thinks, and I agree, that we address research to support SLR through a number of different venues in our interactions with the international community.
Our plans were well intended, however, given our priorities coupled with our drive to be more efficient and effective in the conduct of research we will not participate in this year's PLiM Conference.
Please stop all activities to prepare for the research part of the conference. Thanks to all the staff who provided your support in preparation for RES to be presented in the conference.

[External_Sender) NRC Materials Harvesting Workshop
- Matt, My NSUF folks have asked me about an NRC Materials Harvesting workshop that you are hosting next month. It looks like an LWRS/NRC effort (Rich Reister, Keith Leonard, and Tom Rosseel) and I know they're highly involved in materials retrieval efforts. As you are most likely aware, we've got a pretty large effort to collect and place relevant specimens in our NSUF sample library. ( ...the Zorita TEM discs, for example) Rory Kennedy (NSUF director) has expressed an interest in having someone from NSUF participate (I would probably be this someone). There may be good reasons to have NSUF participation since we are set up to store and catalog materials and are focused on providing funding to researchers who propose research on them.
Hopefully I'm not stepping on toes. I understand your space is limited so let me know if this is too big of an ask.

If you can forward that list to me soon that could let us review it and then Meg could come to the meeting better prepared. She said that they have a pretty full agenda for her trip and the time to talk harvesting is valuable .

RIC ePoster Approval: Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants We are pleased to inform you that the topic mentioned above has been approved as a Digital ePoster for the RIC 2018 program.
NEXT STEPS
- 1. Refine Title, Description, Information - Now is your opportunity to fine tune your eposter title, description information in preparation for publication. (Please note that his is the version that will be published in conference materials and on the RIC website.)
Use the updated NRC Form 1102 located in the NRC Sharepoint Library (descripton field has been expanded). Please ensure all changes have been vetted through your division level management before submission to RICMST.Resource@nrc.gov (deadline for updated write-u[>s to RICMST by 12 noon on 11/27/2017)
- 2. Determine ePoster Format -As you develop your eposter, you might consider what format would be most useful (i.e., single slide or multi slide). Guidance for Determining the type of eposter template is located on RIC Central at http://drupal.nrc.gov/ric, under the "Digital Presentation (ePoster) Toolbox" tab.
- 3. Development of ePoster - Beginning this year the Graphics Team will no longer be developing ePosters for offices, rather, offices are now responsible for developing their ePosters. However, the Graphics Team is available to provide guidance through the process and will be hosting a meet/greet with ePoster developers to answer any questions you may have on the process. Graphics has created an ePoster template which is available for your use on RIC Central at http://drupal.nrc.gov/ric. (deadline for providing names of ePoster developer(s) and presenter(s) to RICMST 12/1/2017)
LOOKING FORWARD
- CAC information and guidance for creating your Digital ePoster, etc.
- Graphics meet and greet information.
We thank you for your participation and we look forward to working with you!

Evaluation of Additive Manufacturing of Metallic Parts via Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM)
==
Description:==
Description should be innovative, succinct, and include key elements such as purpose, learning objectives, focus areas, and/or take-away messages.
The NRC has been informed that Additively Manufactured (AM) parts are being considered for applications in the operating fleet as early as calendar year 2018. The first industry alert in June 2017 concerned using the DMLM method to manufacture parts for reactor components. A subsequent scoping study by RES staff provided more insight into the technical issues that must be addressed to assure reliability of specific DMLM-produced components accepted by NRC, including design, precursor materials, finished material properties, structural integrity, nondestructive evaluation, and quality assurance. This poster also discusses the emergence and harmonization of relevant codes & standards activities.
This poster will give an overview of NRC findings and preliminary recommendations related to additive manufacturing via DMLM.
Presenter(s): If known, for each presenter, enter first and last name, position, division title and organization. If possible, list names in the order they will be presenting.

!Note to requester: The attachments are immediately following.
(b)(6) ..l_
This is the email Rob sent to DOE/EPRI just today with the "strawman" agenda for discussion. Our thought is to get input/engagement from DOE and EPRI on the agenda/topics. As part of that discussion, we'd try to identify the international presenters. If you have ideas of individuals/ organizations that might be good for certain sessions, please share because we are very open to ideas.
For session 1, the thought is to more lay the groundwork of what the prior harvesting experience has been, both a description of what was harvested as well as some reflection on technical benefits and challenges in the past programs. The thought is for Session 5 (retitled, but similar focus as before to my mind) to focus on the discussion of future harvesting programs (hopefully building off the prior 4 sessions, including the lessons learned in session 1.)
I discussed the agenda yesterday with Rob, including your suggestion of one presentation summarizing past harvesting activities. We decided to keep it as-is for now with separate talks by NRC, DOE, and EPRI, but will raise a single summary presentation as an option when discussing with DOE and EPRI.
Thanks!

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Location: NRG HQ in Rockville, MD Dates: March 7-8, 2017 Motivation:
- There are increasing opportunities to harvest the safety-critical components from decommissioning plants, both domestic and international.
- The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.
- Data from ex-plant materials should help address technical gaps identified for extended operation of nuclear power plants due to highly relevant aging conditions.
Purpose and Objective:
- For NRG staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.
- Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated.
Workshop Topics:
- Harvesting decision-making and prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting
- Sources of materials:
o Decommissioning reactors o Operating reactors - replaced components o Previous harvesting programs - "boneyards" o Tracking available materials
- Harvesting process o Lessons learned from harvesting experience o Perspective of utility-owner and decommissioning contractor on harvesting o Communication and coordination between decommissioning and researchers
- International collaborative programs on specific components at specific plants

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad you'll be attending the workshop. I've attached a presentation file that has logistical information, the overall workshop objectives, and objectives for individual sessions. Would you be willing to make a presentation in 1 or more of these sessions? In general the presentations should be short (e.g., a few slides at most for sessions 1 and 5; and at most 20 - 30 minutes for one of the other sessions) and the plan is to have everything be informal so that the preparation time is not too great and we leave plenty of time for discussion.
Please let me know if you would be amenable to this and if you have any questions about the workshop.
Also, thank you for the contact information at VGB Powertech. We will certainly contact Dr.
Mohrbach. Let me know if you have any luck finding any other contacts. We've currently trying to reach someone at EBnW.

Betreff: RE; Interest in Harvesting Workshop Dr. Jendrich:
I just want to follow up on the information that I sent you on the Harvesting Workshop that will be held on March 7 - 8, 2017 at the U.S. NRC Headquarters in Rockville, MD USA. I have two questions that I'm hoping you can help me with.
- 1. Will you or a colleague from GRS attend and hopefully participate in the workshop?
- 2. We would like to invite a participant from a German decommissioning company. We currently have participants representing U.S. decommissioning companies but the German situation is both unique and different compared to the U.S. Is there someone in one of these companies that you can put me in touch with? I'm aware of a few companies but I would prefer not to just randomly contact them.
Thank you so much for your consideration and support of the workshop.

Attached is a draft announcement for the materials harvesting workshop that we're planning around the time of the RIC. Before setting final dates, we wanted to get some feedback from you whether the Thursday-Friday of RIC week (March 16 - 17) or the following Monday -
Tuesday (March 20 - 21) are preferable from your current schedule.
We're leaning toward the Thursday - Friday of RIC week just to capture some international folks who may be coming anyway for the RIC but recognize that a workshop ending on Friday can also have its drawbacks. We're anticipating two full days for this. Please provide any feedback on dates by COB next Friday (10/28) so that we can finalize the announcement and start to publicize the workshop.
We'd also like to work with you both in identifying discussion/session topics and speakers/organizations.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present. I would like to propose to give two talks:
(1) Under Session 2, t itled "Importance of Harvesting to Evaluate Radiation Effects on Concrete Properties" (2) Under Session 3, t itled "Potential Harvesting of Concrete from Mihama Unit 1" Please note that the talk in Session 2 will be focused on irradiation effect s on the compressive strength of concrete. I am not sure if there would be a similar talk in Session 2 that would make mine redundant.

You can see that the focus is on relatively short talks to allow plenty of time for discussion. You could even split your talk to cover why you want to get irradiated concrete in session 2 and then address the attributes of Mihama in Session 3.
Given these options, can you provide me with your preference of one talk or two and provide title(s) so that we can add you to the agenda.

[External_Sender] RE: Harvesting Workshop
Dear Rob,
Thank you for the information you provided to me on the harvesting workshop that will be held at the NRC Headquarters next month.
I would like to attend this workshop, and, if possible, give a short talk. Westinghouse is in the preliminary stages of communicating with Kansai in investigating the possibility of harvesting concrete from Mihama Unit 1 to analyze the irradiation effects on concrete. This topic (irradiation effects on concrete) has been an interest to various organizations particularly for long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The talk would be mainly to inform the attendees why we are interested in this work and why we are interested in the Mihama Unit 1 concrete.
Is there an attendance fee for the workshop? I would appreciate it if you could provide me any further information related to the workshop (I have the attached documents) and the possibility for my attendance and a short talk.

RE: Harvesting Workshop Arzu:
Thank you for contacting me about the workshop. The invitation is not open to the public and we are soliciting/inviting both talks and participants so that the workshop stays relatively small and focused. Having said this, it's fine to send the announcement and agenda to Kansai.
Please also be aware that we are already in contact with both JNRA (Kazu Sakamoto) and CRIEPI (Naoki Soneda) to coordinate Japanese participation . It would therefore be good for Kansai to coordinate with them if they are interested in attending or participating in the workshop. Kansai should also contact me as well if they are interested in participating or attending.
Thanks for your interest. Please let me know if you have any other questions about the workshop.

See below for the revised table of volunteers. We've got the harvesting poster covered. I can also do the Thursday morning AM slots. It looks like we just need to cover the Wednesday AM sessions at 10:00 and 3:00 pm. I might be able to help out with one or more of these, but I need to dig into my RIC sessions more deeply to determine this. Let me know if you still need coverage for these sessions.

Implementation ~ U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclea r Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- What might the output of this activity look like?
- For example, the review may show there is value in acquiring CASS material around 15% delta ferrite with various dose ranges
(<0.08 dpa, 1-3 dpa, and >5 dpa)
- Once that need is identified, this activity would identify what SSCs might be the best candidates for harvesting
- For example, perhaps lower support columns would be identified as the ideal SSC to address the CASS data need
- As decommissioning plants announce their plans, there is a clear list of SSCs and their characteristics (metallurgy, temperature, fluence, etc.) that would be desired t address the data need

- What might the output of this activity look like?
- For example, the review may show there is value in acquiring CASS material around 15% delta ferrite with various dose ranges
(<0.08 dpa, 1-3 dpa, and >5 dpa)
- Once that need is identified, this activity would identify what SSCs might be the best candidates for harvesting
- For example, perhaps lower support columns would be identified as the ideal SSC to address the CASS data need
- As decommissioning plants announce their plans, there is a clear list of SSCs and their characteristics (metallurgy, temperature, fluence, etc.) that would be desired t address the data need

harvesting meeting Guys:
(b )(6)
I'm going to be I !this afternoon and will miss the meeting . I think you should have it and we should continue to press forward with finishing the PNNL report and populating the ex-plant database. We've heard now from ORNL but should start planning to get PNNL contributions and also finalizing the ANL contributions using the extra data fields that we wanted to add. I also got some information from battelle yesterday which I will forward .

Strategic Approach to Ex-Plant Harvesting (1/29/2016)
Background
- Understanding the causes and control of degradat ion mechanisms forms the basis for developing aging management programs (AMPs) to ensure the functionality and safety margins of NPP systems, structures, and components (SSC). The resolution to these issues should provide reasonable assurance of safe operation of the components in the scope of license renewal during the subsequent period of extended operation.
- In many cases, the scientific basis for understanding and predicting long-term environmental degradation behavior of materials in NPPs is incomplete. A strategic approach to examination and testing of materials and components from decommissioned reactors can dramatically increase our knowledge-acquisition rate in this very important area.
- This project to develop a strategic approach to ex-plant harvesting was originally conceived and initiated through the NRC's Long-Term Research Program (LTRP).
Facts
- A task order (NRC-HQ-25-14-D-0001 Task Order Number NRC-HQ-60-15-T-0023) was placed with Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) in September 2015 to support NRC in developing a strategic approach to ex-plant harvesting. Task 1 focuses on a scoping study to pull in information from other sources (EMDA, GALL, ASME code, etc.) to populate an information tool that will allow the prioritization of harvesting opportunities.
- An internal NRC working group consisting of staff from RES and NRR was formed to advise the strategic harvesting effort.
- NRR/DLR staff and management have expressed strong support and interest in this project and intend to develop a user need request to support this effort in the context of SLR.
Status
- Under Task 1 of the task order, PNNL is currently working on developing examples for dissimilar metal welds and cables of what type of information will be captured and how it will be presented.
- The working group has met once in December and has another meeting scheduled for February to review some information put together by PNNL.
Next Steps
- By mid-February, PNNL should provide examples for dissimilar metal welds and cables in the information tool. This will allow NRC (likely through working group) to review what type of information will be captured and how it will be presented.
- NRC staff should work with PNNL to organize a public workshop to discuss the topic of.ex-plant harvesting and engage relevant stakeholders, particularly EPRI, industry, and DOE that can help provide information and cooperation in these efforts.
- RES staff should work with NRR staff to develop an updated UNR incorporating this strategic harvesting effort.

Harvesting poster abstract Attachments: Harvesting poster abstract_cem.docx
- Steve, The attached abstract is for a RIC poster on harvesting. Please edit it, if necessary.
I am planning to go to the Standards Forum this morning, so if this needs changes, please feel free to make them .
At the Standards Forum, I will mention that we are starting to look at standards for AM, including having participated in an ANSI collaborative program kick-off. I will not specifically "plug" the public meeting that we are planning for this fall , since we do not have full management buy-in on that just yet.

TECHNICAL POSTER/TABLETOP PRESENTATION TOPIC AND DESCRIPTION Poster/Tabletop
Title:
Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants Poster/Tabletop Topic and Description :
In the U.S. nuclear industry today, there are some nuclear power plants (NPPs) that are prematurely ceasing operation , while other plant operators are making plans to extend operating lifespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years. Extending plant operation raises technical issues that may require further research on aging mechanisms to reduce uncertainties associated with material performance. Decommissioning plants provide opportunities for harvesting components that have been aged in representative light water reactor (LWR) environments.
The NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to develop a strategic approach to harvesting aged materials from NPPs.
The work will identify criteria to consider when prioritizing the data needs for harvesting. The NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to prioritize data needs for harvesting, to share information about harvested materials and those that may become available, and to identify areas of common interest. The poster will give an overview of NRC findings and recommendations related to harvesting of components and material specimens from operating nuclear power plants and those undergoing decommissioning.
