RE: NRC-NRAJ 2016 Materials M eeting Agenda.docx It looks like there are 3 topics that Sri, Pat, and I are involved with, so it might be good to split those amongst the three of us, so each person leads one topic. Here's what I see as the options based on current work assignments:

  • IAD: Sri or at
  • CASS: Pat or Sri
  • Harvesting: Matt or Pa Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Attached is the draft agenda for the NRC/NRAJ meeting on August 8-9. Could you please review the agenda and let me know if you have any issues supporting the meeting? The idea is for each side to have a presentation on research activities associated with these topics and then have a discussion on ways to collaborate and share information related to the topic. Could you also let me know the following w.r.t. the agenda:

1. Will Mark lead the RPV discussion or will Matt or someone else lead this discussion?
2. Will Pat Purtscher lead the material harvesting discussion?
3. Who will lead the CASS discussion?

NRC-NRAJ 2016 Materials Meeting Agenda.docx Kazu:

Attached is a rough draft for our meeting agenda. I've developed this based on the topics that we agreed to last month in our email exchanges. I've tried to group the topics in ways that make sense and I've put some estimates for times as welll as speakers. Here's what I think we need to agree on.

1. Do you agree with all the topics and the order of the topics?
2. Do you agree with the meeting starting and ending times on both days? We could start and end at whatever times are convenient for you.
3. Do you agree with the scheduled breaks and lunch times? We could make these shorter or longer depending on your needs.
4. Do you agree with the length of time devoted to each topic?

Please feel free to modify the attached agenda to address these four questions.

After we agree on the agenda topics and times, the final step will be to confirm the speakers on the NRC and NRAJ side. Please let me know who your speakers will be for each topic. I have put some ideas down for the NRC speakers but I will still need to confirm this.

As always, thank you for your help with this meeting.

RE: Onie more harvesting question Hi Matt, Thanks very much for this clarification.

What I sent back to Brian this morning said, "The workshop summary report will be distributed among meeting participants when finalized."

If I get another opportunity(!) to edit the response, I will change this to past tense, as you recommended.

RE: One more harvesting question Hi Carol, I've had on my to-do list for the last couple weeks to send the email with the final workshop report. You probably saw that I just sent it © Based on that, I'd suggest this language for the UNR response:

"The workshop summary was finalized published in September, 2017, and has been distributed (or, is being distributed?) to the meeting participants."

Thanks!

Subject:

One more harvesting question Importance: High

Matt, I am trying to finalize our response to the SLR UNR. Can you clear up a sentence for me?

Part of the paragraph on the harvesting workshop says:

The workshop was well-attended by representatives from DOE , EPRI , the U.S. industry, and international research organizations . Key insights from the workshop included the need for a clearly defined objective to justify the level of effort, and the benefit of early planning and engagement with the plant from which materials will be harvested. The workshop summary report will be distributed among meeting participants and is expected to be finalized by September, 2017. RES will be pursuing further engagement with interested workshop participants on two outstanding workshop action items: identifying data needs for harvesting and initially creating a 'sources of materials' information tool/database. This is discussed further under Subtask 2.B.

What should the highlighted sentence say now?

Steve's comment on this said: "IF: The draft was shared with the workshop participants on 5/31. The fina l report is dated 9/13/17."

So, can I change the sentence to past tense?

"The workshop summary was published in September, 2017 , and has been distributed (or, is being distri buted?) to the meeting participants ."

Thanks!

UNR NRR-2017-006: "Research Assistance on Potential Significant Technical Issues during the Subsequent Period of Extended Operation (PEO)"

Allen requested monthly meetings (informal status reviews with discussion) for work performed under NRR-2017-006 on research related to the four key materials challenges for the subsequent PEO. These concerns also all fall under the category of long term materials degradation (LTMD).

Meeting notes: The meeting in July addressed all NRR-2017-006 tasks, but focused on Task 2: harvesting ex-plant components (Rob Tregoning led Task 2 update).

FW: plan for meeting at ANL on harvesting

Steve,

Here is the plan for what we will discuss with AN L for harvesting. It seems like the 2nd week of December will be the best time, but I am waiting on a firm date when they will be available.

Pat BACKGROUND March 2017 workshop -

  • four main areas of consideration for extended service life: RPV, RVI, cables, & concrete
  • feedback from workshop participants is that harvesting is expensive and time-consuming, need to focus on value (costs vs. benefits)

PNNL report-

  • Lays out a systematic approach to optimize harvesting outcome by prioritizing needs and surveying available materials from decommissioning of plants, operating plants and previous harvesting programs GOALS for ANL meeting What does ANL have from past programs with NRC, DOE, or others Examples:
  • SGT program looked at tubes pulled from McGuire
  • Omesh looked at CASS from Shippingport Materials of interest don't have to be material from plant with extensive service history. Example is FAVOR code for RPV embrittlement. Results from modeling and simulations are dependent on input of the flaws that could be present from fabrication. Sections of old, th ick ferritic steel welds from structures with similar accept ance criteria but were never put into service provided important inputs that permitted the computer code to be validated.

A good example of where harvesting is important would be how the BWRVIP is responding to NRC concern for IGSCC mitigation w ith on-line noble chemistry program. They harvest ed samples from all regions of operating BWRs to demonstrate the distribution of noble metal particles within the whole syst em. The presence of a pattern of small, discrete deposits of noble metal particles would indicate effective particle distribution to ideally impart good resistance to IGSCC. The individual samples by themselves were not that significant, but taken together, they show that there is effective mitigation in those areas of the system where inspection relief is being requested.

OUTCOME We hope to assemble an inventory of available materials to consider for harvesting program like or in coordination with that in the INL NSUF Nuclear Fuels and M aterials Library (NFML). Our emphasis is in the four areas outlined earlier, but not necessarily limited to those four. Future OpE can change the focus of harvesting needs very quickly.

RE: plan for meeting at ANL on harvesting Not yet. This is what we have. I will send it to Steve later this morning after I talk more to my contact at ANL regarding when we might come out to visit.

Pat Meet with ANL to brief them on our plans for harvesting:

BACKGROUND March 2017 workshop -

  • four main areas of consideration for extended service life: RPV, RVI, cables, & concrete
  • feedback from workshop participants is that harvesting is expensive and time-consuming, need to focus on value (costs vs. benefits)

PNNL report-

  • Lays out a systematic approach to optimize harvesting outcome by prioritizing needs and surveying available materials from decommissioning of plants, operating plants and previous harvesting programs GOALS for ANL meeting What does ANL have from past programs with NRC, DOE, or others Examples:
  • SGT program looked at tubes pulled from McGuire
  • Omesh looked at CASS from Shippingport Materials of interest don't have to be material from plant with extensive service history. Example is FAVOR code for RPV embrittlement. Results from modeling and simulations are dependent on input of the flaws that could be present from fabrication. Sections of old, t hick ferritic steel welds from structures with similar acceptance criteria but were never put into service provided important inputs t hat permitted the computer code to be validated.

A good example of where harvesting is important would be how the BWRVIP is responding to NRC concern for IGSCC mitigation w ith on-line noble chemistry program. They harvested samples from all regions of operat ing BWRs to demonstrate the distribution of noble metal particles within the whole system. The presence of a pattern of small, discrete deposits of noble metal particles would indicate effective particle distribution to ideally impart good resistance to IGSCC. The individual samples by t hemselves were not that significant, but taken together, they show that there is effective mit igation in those areas of the system where inspection relief is being requested.

OUTCOME We hope to assemble an inventory of available materials to consider for harvesting program like or in coordination with that in the INL NSUF Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library (NFML). Our emphasis is in

t he four areas outlined earlier, but not necessarily limited to t hose four. Future OpE can change t he focus of harvesting needs very quickly.

Matt HARVESTING OF AGED MATERIALS FROM OPERATING AND DECOMMISSIONING UCLEAR POWER PLANTS M. Hiser, P. Purtscher, A. B. Hull, R. Tregoning U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research Washington, DC Email: matthew.hiser@nrc.gov P. Ramuhalli Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, WA, USA Abstract Recent plans to shut down a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) provide opportunities for harvesting components that were exposed 10 actual light water reactor (LWR) environments. Technical iss ues associated with extended plant operation, such as reactor pressure vessel (RPV) embrittlement, irradiation-assisted degradation of reactor internals and primary components, concrete structures and containment degradation, and eleci-rical cable aging, may be used to focus harvesting efforts on high-priority issues. Harvesting can provide highly representative aged materials for research a nd, in some cases, may be the only practical source of representative aged materials to address high-priority issues. Harvesting can be expensive and time-consuming, whic h makes it essential to focus on those technical needs with the highest importance and cooperate with multiple organizations whenever possible to optimally leverage resources. NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations 10 prioritize data needs for harvesting, identify areas of common interest, and develop a database for sources of materials for harvesting.

I . BACKGROUND Recent developments in the nuclear industry include stronger interest in extended plant operation and plans to shut down a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs). In the U.S., there is strong interest in extending NPP li fespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years [ I]. Further research may be required to understand age-related degradation throughout the SLR period to he lp ensure that aging management programs are adequate.

U.S. utilities and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) are focused on the aging of systems, structures, and components in four key technical areas: reactor pressure vessel (RPV) embrinlement, irradiation-assisted degradation (!AD ) of RPV internals and primary components, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable aging [2]. In recent years, a number of NPPs, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to s hut down. Unlike in the past when there were very few decommissioning plants, these plant shutdowns provide opportunities for harvesting components that were exposed to actual light water reactor (LWR) environments. Additionally, harvesting programs can be costly and complex. Given these constraints, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.

2. NRC EXPERI ENCE WITH HARVESTING N RC has significant experience with harvesting plant components and performing research on harvested materials to address technical issues. This experience includes a range of components from plants in various stages of operation both in the U.S. and internationally. Some of the harvesting projects that the NRC has participated in have studied the following materials or components:
  • RPV materials from the decommissioned Gundrernmingen plant to study fluence rate effects on RPV embrittlement [3],
  • Cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) materials from the decommissioned Shippingport reactor. to study CASS thermal embrittlement [4],
  • RPV materials from the unfinished or never-operated Shoreham and Midland plants to improve understanding of flaw distributions for RPV embrittlement concerns [5-6],
  • RPV head control rod drive mechanism penetrations from the operating North Anna and Davis-Besse plants to study primary water s tress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) of nickel alloys and the effectiveness ofnon-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods (8-12],
  • Reactor internals materials from the decommissioned Jose Cabrera (known as Zorita) plant to study bigb-fluence irradiation effects on stainless steel reactor internals materials [13],
  • Aluminum-based neutron-absorbing materials from the decommissioned Zion plant to study degradation in the spent fuel pool environment [ 14] ,
  • E lectrical cables from the decommissioned Zion and Crystal River plants to investigate cable degradation [ 15],
  • Electrical bus ducts from the decommissioned Zion plant to study high-e nergy arc fau lts in electrical enclosures [ 16].

As illustrated by these programs, NRC's experience is that harvest.ing has contributed s ignificantly to improved understanding of important technical issues for nuclear safety. For RPV materials, harvesting has increased knowledge of embrittlement mec hanisms and the underly ing flaw distributions in the RPV to a llow reduction in unnecessary conservatism. For nickel alloys, harvesting has improved understanding of PWSCC and the development of acceptable inspection intervals, while also increasing confidence in the ability of NOE methods to detect and c haracterize flaws. Finally, recent work on e lectrical enclosures has he lped to identify a potential new safety issue associated with high-energy arc fau lts in electrical components containing aluminum

[ 16].

3. NRC PERSPECTIVE AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM HARVESTING ACTIVITIES From NRC's perspective, a principal role of ha rvesting is to confitm other research results from s imulated aging conditions. In many situations, accelerated aging through higher nux test reactor irradiations or e levated temperatures can be used to generate significant data to understand aging effects in a more cost-effective manne r.

Limited harvesting e fforts of materials from actual service environments can help confirm the adequacy of the knowledge gained from accelerated aging studies, and thus increase the confidence in the broader knowledge base.

However, in certain s ituations, harvesting may be the only practical source of representative aged materials.

For example, achieving high tluence levels with representative irradiation conditions through accelerated aging can be very challe nging. Additionally, it is essential to gain as muc h information as possible regarding the materials and environment (tempe rature, tlue nce, irradiation conditions, chemistry, humidity, etc.) in advance before committing to a specific harvesting project s o that the implications of the results from evaluating the materials can be properly understood.

Pragmatically, harvesting can be expens ive, complex, and time-consuming; therefore, focus ing on technical needs of high importance will he lp ensure good value. Likewise, leveraging a nd cooperation among multiple organizations helps to mitigate cost c hallenges. It is also quite c halleng ing to transport irradiated materials, particularly inte rnationa lly, so minimizing or avoiding transportation of irradiated mate rials is highly recommended.

4. N RC ACTIVITIES ON HARVESTING NRC is potentially inte rested in harvesting materials to assess age-related degradation in the four technical areas identified previo us ly: RPV embrittleme nt, IAD of RPV inte rnals a nd primary compone nts, concre te structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable aging [2]. The focus is to unde rsta nd the impact of extended plant operation on materia l behavior, including the effects of higher fluences and longer exposures to aging conditions.

NR C has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to develop a strategic a pproach for harvesting aged materials from NPPs. Past harvesting activities have been narrowly focused on the relatively few opportunities to get materials from decommissioning plants. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants and ide ntified research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is developing a more proactive approach to prioritize the data needs best addressed by harvesting and identify the best sources of materials to address high-priority data needs for regulatory research.

5. PRIORITlZATION OF DATA NEEDS BEST ADDRESSED BY HARVESTING The first step in this strategic approach is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular degradation scenario ( i.e., combination of material and env ironment) and should be defined w ith as much detail as appropriate in terms of the material (e.g., alloy, composition) and environment (e.g., tempe rature, fluence, chemistry).

A number of criteria are being cons idered for prioritizing the harvesting da ta needs, including:

Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps

  • Harvesting to address critical gaps should be prioritized over less essential technical gaps Ease of laboratory replication of the degradation scenario
  • Degradation mechanisms that are harder to replicate with simulated aging conditions would be of higher priority for harvesting. For example, simultaneous thermal and irradiation conditions are difficult to replicate outside of the plant environment. Alternatively, accelerated aging may not be feasible for a mechanism sensitive to dose rate. These two degradation mechanisms may be best evaluated using harvested materials.

Unique field aspects of degradation

  • For example, legacy materials (e.g. , fabrication methods, composition) that arc no longer available, but may play an important role in a potential degradation mechanism, would have a higher priority than harvesting materials that can be obtained from other sources.

Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data

  • There is greater value in developing knowledge to address an issue that may be applicable to a larger number of plants compared to one that may only affect a relatively small number of plants.

Harvesting cost and complexity

  • Activities witJ1 higher costs and complexity are less attractive than similar activities with lower costs and that are simpler to execute.. For example, harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables is less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the RPV internals or the llPV.

Availability of reliable inspection methods for the degradation scenario

  • If mature inspection methods exist and arc easy to apply to monitor degradation, harvesting may be less valuable. If ins pection methods do not exist, harvesting may be essential to ensure confidence in the assessment of age-related degradation in that particular component.

T imeliness o f the expected research results

  • The ability of a potential harvesting program to provide timely results to support either a technical or regulatory need is important. Having high confidence that results will be timely increases the priority.

Availability of materials for harvesting

  • The availabi lity of materials to harvest fo r a particular data need is clearly essential and increases the priority.

The above potential criteria provide a systematic approach for prioritizing harvesting data needs. Different organizations may weigh these criteria differently, but the criteria are intended to be comprehensive. NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to furth er refine these criteria, use them to prioritize data needs for harvesting, and ultimately identify areas of common interest that may provide optimal harvesting opportunities.

6. DATABASE OF SOURCES OF MATERIALS FOR HARVESTING NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to develop a database that identities sources of materials for harvesting. The J!.IRC is alse develepiRg a database that ideRtifies seurees efmaterials fer llar,,*esliRg. This database wouldill include both previously harvested materials and those which may be available for future harvesting. This database wouldill be used to align the high-priority harvesting needs to the available materials. As with the harvesting prioritization effort, the level o f detail for the sources of materials database should be appropriate for the factors influencing decision-making. ~l~C is inl@rosli!e iR i!Rg8ging 1i1l;i e1l18r 8Fg8ni~8li8R8 IB 88 @IBp 8 88181!89@ ~81 i!l@n1i*t:i@0 88~F8@8 Bflfi8li!ri818 f.er l,8r 189liRg.
7. CONCLUSIONS NRC's experience is that harvesting can yield highly representative and valuable knowledge about materials aging. However, these efforts may be expensive and challenging. Having a clearly defined objective and early engagement with other stakeholders, including the decommissioning plant where harvesting will take place, are necessary to ensure project success. As specific harvesting opportunities are identified through this strategic approach, the NRC will develop strategies for pursuing these opportunities. The NRC also welcomes collaboration from other interested research organizations both in developing the proactive harvesting strategy and in pursuing harvesting opportunities of mutual interest.

HARVESTING OF AGED MATERIALS FROM OPERATING AND DECOMMISSIONING UCLEAR POWER PLANTS M. Hiser, P. Purtscher, A. B. Hull, R. Tregoning U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of N uclear Regulatory Research Washington, DC Email: matthew.hiser@nrc.gov P. Ramuhalli Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, WA, USA Abstract Recent plans to shut down a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) provide opportunities for harves ting components that were exposed 10 actual light water reactor (LWR) environments. Technical issues associated with extended plant operation, s uch as reactor pressure vessel (RPV) embrittlement, irradiation-assisted degradation of reactor internals a nd primary components, concrete structures and containment degradation, and eleci-rical cable aging, may be used to focus harvesting efforts on high- priority issues. Harvesting can provide highly representative aged materials for research a nd, in some cases, may be the only practical source of representative aged materials to address high-priority issues. Harvesting can be expe nsive and time-consuming, whic h makes it essential to focus on those technical needs with the highest importance and cooperate with multiple organizations whenever possible to optimally leverage resources. NRC is interested in e ngaging with other organizations 10 prioritize data needs for harvesting, identify areas of common interest, and develop a database for sources of materials for harvesting.

I . BAC KGROUND Recent developments in the nuclear industry include stronger interest in extended plant operation and plans to shut down a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs). In the U.S., there is strong interest in extending NPP lifespans through s ubsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years [I]. Further research may be required to understand age-related degradation throughout the SLR period to help ens ure that aging management programs are adequate. U.S. utilities and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) are focused on the aging o f systems, structures, and components in four key technical areas: reactor pressure vessel (RPV) embrittlement, irradiation-assisted degradation (IAD) of RPV ~ internals and primary components, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable aging [2]. In recent years, a number of NPPs, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut down. or ann ounced plans to shut down. Unli ke in the past when there were very few decommissioni ng plants, these plant shutdowns provide opportunities for harvesting components that were exposed to actual light water reactor (LWR) environments. Additionally, harvesting programs can be costly and complex. Given these constraints, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.

2. NRC EXPERI ENCE WITH HARVESTING N RC has significant experience with harvesting plant components and performing research on harvested materials to address technical issues. This experience includes a range of components from plants in various stages of operatio n both in the U.S. and internationally. Some of the harvesting projects that the NRC has participated in have studied the following materials or components:
  • RPV materials from the decommissioned Gundrernmingen plant to study fluence rate effects on RPV embrittlement [3],
  • Cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) materials from the decommissioned Shippingport reactor. to study CASS thermal embrittlement [4],
  • RPV materials from the unfinished or never-operated Shoreham and Midland plants to improve understanding of flaw distributions for RPV embrittlement concerns [5-6],
  • RPV head control rod drive mechanism penetrations from the operating North Anna and Davis-Besse plants to study primary water s tress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) of nickel alloys and the effectiveness ofnon-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods (8- 12],
  • Reactor internals materials from the decommissioned Jose Cabrera (known as Zorita) plant to study high-fluence irradiation effects on stainless steel reactor internals materials [13],
  • Aluminum-based neutron-absorbing materials from the decommissioned Zion plant to study degradation in the spent fuel pool environment [ 14],
  • Electrical cables from the decommiss ioned Zion and Crystal River plants to investigate cable degradation [ 15],
  • Electrical bus ducts from the decommissioned Zion plant to study high-energy arc fau lts in electrical enclosures [ 16].

As illustrated by these programs, NRC's experience is that harvest.ing has contributed significantly to improved understanding of important technical issues for nuclear safety. For RPV materials, harvesting has increased knowledge of embrittlement mechanisms and the underlying flaw distributions in the RPV to allow reduction in unnecessary conservatism. For nickel alloys, harvesting has improved understanding of PWSCC and the development of acceptable inspection intervals, while also increas ing confidence in the ability of NOE methods to detect and characterize flaws. Finally, recent work on electrical enclosures has helped to identify a potential new safety issue associated with high-energy arc fau lts in electrical components containing aluminum

[ 16].

3. NRC PERSPECTIVE AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM HARVESTING ACTIVITIES From NRC's perspective, a principal role of ha rvesting is to confitm other research results from s imulated aging conditions. In many situations, accelerated aging through higher nux test reactor irradiations or elevated temperatures can be used to generate significant data to understand aging effects in a more cost-effective manner.

Limited harvesting e fforts of materials from actual service environments can help confirm the adequacy of the knowledge gained from accelerated aging studies, and thus increase the confidence in the broader knowledge base.

However, in certain s ituations, harvesting may be the only practical source of representative aged materials.

For example, achieving high tluence levels with representative irradiation conditions through accelerated aging can be very challenging. Additionally, it is essential to gain as much information as possible regarding the materials and environment (tempe rature, tluence, irradiation conditions, chemistry, humidity, etc.) in advance before committing to a specific harvesting project so that the implications of the results from evaluating the materials can be prope rly understood.

Pragmatically, harvesting can be expensive, complex, and time-consuming; therefore, focusing on technical needs of high importance will he lp ensure good value. Likewise, leveraging and cooperation among multiple organizations helps to mitigate cost c hallenges. It is also quite c hallenging to transport irradiated materials, particularly inte rnationally, so minimizing or avoiding transportation of irradiated mate rials is highly recommended.

4. NRC ACTIVITIES ON HARVESTING NRC is potentially inte rested in harvesting materials to assess age-related degradation in the four technical areas identified previo us ly: reaetar pressHre ,*essel ( RPV1 embrittlement, IA DirraaiatiaA assistea aegraaatiati of RPV~ internals and primary components, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable aging [2]. T he focus is to understand the impact of extended plant operation on material behavior, including the effects of higher fluences and longer exposures to aging conditions.

NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to develop a strategic approach for harvesting aged materials from NPPs. Past harvesting activities have been narrowly focused on the relatively few opportunities to get materials from decommissioning plants. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants and identified research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is developing a more proactive approach to prioritize the data needs best addressed by harvesting and identify the best sources of materials to address high-priority data needs for regulatory research.

Nice slides for SLR. I have no further comments or revisions.

Please get the concurrence package to me ASAP today.

By the way, Chris already approved Form 390 for the harvesting slides last week.

What is the status with the paper?

  1. 8 since December.

Also, I am not sure that the description for #6 was ever corrected. The "wrong information" that she referred to is that the Additive description is entirely missing, and there is text (maybe an earlier draft) about Harvesting there, instead.

I will revise the Form 1102 for Poster #6 (Additive) today, so that you can send that back to QTE. They should be able, then , to reconcile the information with the poster that Amy Hull sent to them this morning.

Do you have the Form 1102 for Poster #8 (Harvesting)? The title for that poster was also shortened to fit the poster template, so the information for the program should be changed to match exactly with the final poster. If you have the Form 1102, please send it to me, and I will revise it. If you do not have it, I will try to track it down from the author.

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants Descriptio n: Description should be innovative, succinct, and include key elements such as purpose, learning objectives, focus areas, and/or take-away messages.

Recent plans to shut down a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) provide opportunities for harvesting components that were exposed to light water reactor (LWR) environments. Harvesting can provide highly representative aged materials for research and, in some cases, may be the only practical source of representative aged materials to address high-priority issues. Harvesting can be expensive and time-consuming, which makes it essential to focus on technical needs with the highest importance and cooperate with multiple organizations whenever possible to optimally leverage resources. NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to prioritize data needs for harvesting, identify areas of common interest, and develop a database for sources of materials for harvesting.

Potential Topics for Materials Exchange Meeting May 22-26 Importance: High We need to identify topics for the May 22-24 materials exchange meeting with industry - all day May 22 and 23, until noon on the 24th.

We may have additional meetings with the industry on Monday the 21 st (PFM and the RES TLR on exclusion of embrittlement effects with liT < 25°F) and the afternoon of Thursday the 24th (RES fluence program status).

I have attached the 2017 NRC topic list (with initial deletions) and the 2017 final agenda (with initial deletions) from the meeting last year. The latter provides the list of industry program status reports. Please share with your staff as you consider appropriate Please identify any additions or deletions by noon on Tuesday (April 3), along with appropriate staff contacts/presenters. .

I would like to get the agenda pinned down with industry by the end of next week.

  • Two primary activities:

Contract with PNNL to develop strategic approach to harvesting

  • Deliverable in early 2017 will identify key factors to consider for harvesting and analyze those factors for some potential harvesting scenarios

- Cables, high-fluence internals, CASS, dissimilar metal welds

  • Approach can then be applied by NRC staff to other harvesting options Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop
  • Planned for March 7-8, 2016 at N RC HQ
  • Expect domestic and international participation

- Researchers, regulators, utilities, and decommissioning companies

  • Developing agenda and contacting presenters/participants
  • Task on harvesting expected in SLR UNR 1

~ U.S.NRC IAD Background United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Protecting People and the Environment

  • Issue: Neutron irradiation of stainless steel reactor vessel internals components may cause embrittlement, cracking and void swelling

- Irradiation-assisted degradation of core internals identified as a high-priority knowledge gap in the EMDA report and SECY/SRM for SLR

- MRP-227-A guidance addresses operation up to 60 years, but proposed generic guidance to the end of SLR period is not expected until after 2019.

  • Objective: Develop a confirmatory technical basis to support NRC regulatory decision-making for SLR
  • Work in this area is supported by UNR NRR-2012-008:

Environmentally Assisted Degradation of LWR Internal Components Task 1: Investigate void swelling

- Task 2: Monitor industry activities associated with IAD

~ U.S.NRC IAD Activities United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Protecting People and the Environment

  • Research Activities:

Independent research focused on SS plate, welds, and cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS)

Cooperative research focused on ex-plant materials from Zorita o Data shared with industry, but independent confirmatory analyses to be performed by NRC

  • RES activities focus on high-fluence materials Most representative of SLR operation and void swelling is most likely In cooperation with industry and other partners to perform expensive, time-consuming research
  • New UNR under development with NRR staff

- Final iteration with RES and NRR staff before starting NRR concurrence

- Tasks on void swelling, monitoring industry activities, and support for ASME code case on IASCC crack growth disposition curves

Most of these samples are small TEM disks and miniature tensile samples (gauge section : 0.3x0.06x0.03"), but we do have a few 1/4T-CT samples left from previous programs.

[External_Sender) RE: ANL Harvesting Trip Meg, and Pat, I think you can contact Ken for SG materials.

Recently, Ken and I also compiled a list of irradiated materials available at Argonne. Please see the attached excel file. I still need to improve this table to include more details about their heat treatment conditions and actual doses. Most of these samples are small TEM disks and miniature tensile samples (gauge section: 0.3x0.06x0.03"), but we do have a few 1/4T-CT samples left from previous programs.

Please let me know what we can help with this effort.

Thanks, Viren From: Hiser, Matthew [4]

FW: ANL Harvesting Trip Hi Sri, As part of this harvesting effort, we are looking at having Meg and Pat visit ANL next month to discuss what materials may be available in their "boneyard" of materials from past testing programs. We are planning to reach out to Meg's Pl Bogdan who works on PWSCC and Pat's Pl in the steam generator area. We'd also like to reach out to Yiren for information on irradiated materials.

This is not expected to involve a large level of effort, but is designed to identify any low-hanging fruit in terms of previously harvested materials that may be available or of interest for future work.

I just wanted to make you aware that we were planning to make this outreach to ANL and confirm that you are OK with us contacting Yiren similar to Bogdan and the ANL SG staff.

Thanks!

RE: Re: Baffle Bolts My take would be that we're trying to confirm the industry's postulated failure mechanism so that we can ensure that their AMP is effective and appropriate. Like you said, this is cheap to do.

RE: Re: Baffle Bolts OK, so you're looking at the need (or demand) as for baffle bolt issues specifically - I had been thin king more about how baffle bolt materials could be used for broader high fluence IAD / void swelling purposes.

That's a good point - I think we should turn the crank on baffle bolt issues from a demand perspective.

It's tricky based on what you think for regulatory considerations in terms of current aging management practices. But the cost/complexity should be relatively simple and chea p since they're already harvest ed and in some cases sitting in a hot cell!

RE: Re: Baffle Bolts Not a big deal but I disagree; failed baffle bolts are just a particular RPI of great interest given the OpE so it that sense they are a "demand" that we would want to do some unique things with then other RP ls.

RE: Re: Baffle Bolts Hi Rob, That's a good point, although baffle bolts themselves would be more on the supply side I think. The harvesting priority list would be the demand side of what technical needs could be filled by the baffle bolt materials (i.e., highly irradiated stainless steel materials). I think they would fit with this need:

Purpose / Testing Need Description Technical Knowledge Gained Planned METALS Likely extent of void swelling in Void swelling, mechanical PWRs during extended operation High fluence reactor internals properties, IASCC and impact on cracking Meg and I had talked last week about her filling in the table based on the meeting you guys had previously "exercising" the criteria.

Matt, Probably next week. I'm in Wisconsin at a workshop until Friday.

In short, we're in the process of putting together the Transfer of Title documents with Westinghouse and Entergy. We will be getting all of the 347 SS bolts but not the 316 SS bolts (because they are unwilling to share the CMTR for the 316 SS).

FW: RE: Draft slides Hi Pradeep,

Thank you for sharing these slides. We've attached a PP that we are distributing to speakers and attendees describing the workshop overall as well as expectations for each session. We just developed this in the past few days, and are starting to distribute now. Please take a look for your awareness.

These slides are a good starting point, but are a little too broad for the sessions we're envisioning.

For the first presentation in session 2, focus on capturing Section 3.3 from the draft report you sent a couple days ago. So focus on the criteria for prioritizing harvesting data needs and the examplles that PNNL analyzed in the report: CASS, cables, DMWs, internals. We are planning a very short NRC slot in session 2 to cover more comprehensively NRC's data needs for harvesting; we want you to cover the criteria and 4 examples and we'll lay out the whole range of high-priority data needs for metals, cables, and concrete. !Te current draft of our slides is attached for you awareness. Plus, we don' t want to explicitly focus on SLR, but talk about long-term operation .

From the slides you have now for session 2, here are some suggestions:

  • I would delete slide 2 because it is high-level and should be captured in Session 1.
  • Keep slide 3 to capture briefly Ch. 2 ideas: why do harvesting, which leads to prioritization criteria
  • Add a slide to capture Section 3.1/3.2 on lit review/ basis for information
  • Add slide or two on criteria: why these criteria, how are they applied/used
  • Add several slides going through examples (maybe 1 slide/example) and how criteria led to an outcome o In other words, explain why we're interested in harvesting cables, CASS, and internals, but not DM welds so much
  • That's it!

For session 5 slides, put the focus on Section 4.2 from your report with references to 4.1 (harvesting experience) as needed to explain why we'd like various pieces of information for harvesting planning.

Suggestions on specific slides:

  • Delete slides 11/12 - don't need to cover info tool in this presentation
  • Maybe 1 or 2 background slides referring to harvesting experience (Ch. 4.1) in general
  • Focus several slides on Section 4.2 going in-depth on what information is needed for harvesting planning o This presentation sets the stage in Session 5 for a discussion of harvesting plans from the various participants, so we want to thoroughly systematically lay out what information we think is helpful for informed decision-making Thanks!

I mentioned that we were trying to keep the total participants to around 30 to foster good discussion, but didn't feel like I could just say no. I mentioned we were expecting more like 2 or 3 from Canada and we might have issues with space, but asked him to send the names and we would get back to him about numbers if we couldn't accommodate 5... So I think there' s still an opening to diplomatically try to scale them back.

FW: RE: Harvesting Workshop Wow, this is way too many people coming from Canada, especially when it's not even clear what may be applicable to U.S. LWRs, certainly concrete and cables, but beyond this ...... Does it make sense for us to politely get them to limit participation to just 1 or 2 people at most?

Maybe the others could listen in on a bridgeline ....

Harvesting Workshop DOE and EPRI Colleagues, Thank you for participating in the discussion last week on the harvesting workshop sessions 3 and 4. We are making good progress on identifying speakers for the workshop . I wanted to bring a couple items to your attention and request your feedback:

1. We were thinking of doing a video recording of the workshop, simply to capture the discussion and action items to help with the meeting summary. We didn't have any other purpose other than to maximize documentation of the discussion for the benefit of the partici pants. When I reached out to the NRC A/V folks, I was advised that all speakers would need to sign the NRC multimedia consent form (attached). Please take a look at th is form and let us know if your speakers are comfortable with it. If not, we may not be ab le to take advantage of recording the workshop .
2. Cou ld DOE and EPRI identify their planned speakers for each session? We' re hoping to have the agenda and speakers firmed up by next week. As you know, there are slots for DOE and EPRI in each session .

Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions .

RE: RE: Harvesting Workshop Hi Rob and Pat, I just wanted to follow up on this email. I spoke with Dan Tello at CNSC yesterday and was surprised to hear their interest in sending 5 people from 3 different Canadian organizations!

They seemed interested in presenting on their work harvesting cables and concrete. I explained to him the focus of the different sessions we are planning. I suggested they present in Session 3 on Sources of Materials and perhaps they could briefly touch on their broader harvesting perspective, but focus on their plans in terms of sources of materials for other interested parties.

Thanks!

Thank you for your interest and willingness to pa11icipate in the workshop. I have attached the workshop announcement and condensed agenda along with a few slides describing the motivation for the workshop and the expectations for each session. The workshop is divided into 5 sessions, each with a combination of presentations and discussion:

I. Session I will consist of short presentations and a panel discussion on the motivation for harvesting.

2. Session 2 will discuss data needs best met through harvesting.
3. Session 3 will discuss sources of materials for harvesting programs 4. Session 4 will discuss lessons-learned from past harvesting programs and practical aspects associated with harvesting.
5. Session 5 will attempt to summarize the workshop and planning a harvesting program, as well as discuss actions and next steps We would like to invite you to present in any of Sessions 2, 3, or 4. For session 3, we are looking for brief 5- I 0 minute presentations, so just a few slides at most on sources of materials. For sessions 2 and 4, the presentations are anticipated to be longer, perhaps 20-30 minutes, covering data needs best addressed through harvesting (session 2) and lessons learned from previous harvesting experience (session 4).

Please let me know if you would be able to participate and which sessions you would be willing to support, along with presentation titles. We will look fo1ward to your participation and contribution to the workshop!

[Extemal_Sendcr] Re: Harvesting Workshop Announcement

Dear Rob,

Sorry for my late response. I talked to several stakeholders about our presentation at the workshop. At this point of time, it looks we should make a presentation in Session I on the motivation for harvesting.

CRJEPI has a lot of experiences on characterizing materials from nuclear reactors. We would like to talk about our motivation for harvesting in light of such experiences.

I learned that I need to stay within Japan during that week, and Dr.

Taku Arai and Dr. Sadao Higuchi will participate the workshop from CRlEPI. These two people are deeply involved in the discussions on future possible researches of decommissioned materials in Japan, even though such discussions are still in a very early stage. So 1 think they can contribute to discuss ions in other sessions as well.

I would appreciate if you could provide me with any new information about the workshop so that my colleagues can start preparing for the workshop. You can find their e-mail addresses in the Cc: fields of this message.

Dear Dr. Tregoning and Dr. Hiser,

>>> Dr.Rosseel of ORNL kindly Jct me know that the USNRC is organizing a material harvesting workshop in March, and I am writing you to ask if there is any chance for us to participate and contribute, somehow, to the workshop.

>>> We, CRlEPI, are working with Tom and Dr. Sokolov ofORNL on the characterization of RPV materials from Zion Unit I under the US-Japan collaboration. We also have some discussions in Japan about materials harvesting from decomissioned Japanese LWRs because some of the Japanese utilities decided permanent shutdown of some of the old LWRs. So, materials harvesting is becoming a hot topic in Japan, and we are very much interested in participating in the workshop.

>>> I would appreciate if our participation in the workshop is accepta ble with the USNRC, and if so, please let me know your current idea about the scope of the workshop so that we can discuss how we can contribute to the workshop.

>>> I would like to send at least one researcher from CRlEPl, but some people from other organizations in Japan may also like to pa11icipate.

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop March 7-8, 2017 USNRC HQ Rockville, MD, USA

Meeting Logistics

  • Workshop will be held at NRC's Three White Flint North building Directly adjacent to the White Flint Metro station Nearest hotel within walking distance: Bethesda North Marriott Hotel &

Conference Center

  • 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 opportunities for webinar attendee participation in discussion if time allows Discussion will 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, 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 opportunities
  • Contacts are made among research organizations to allow for further discussion of specific harvesting projects

Session Expectations

  • Session 1 Motivation for Harvesting Perspective from panel participants on their organizations' interest in and motivation for harvesting Brief (5-10 minute) presentation from each panel member followed by general discussion
  • Session 2 Technical Data Needs for Harvesting

- Presenters share high-priority data needs that may be best addressed by harvesting

  • Where does harvesting hold particular value compared to other sources of technical data 15-20 minute presentations followed by open discussion of technical data needs for harvesting

Session Expectations

  • Session 3 Sources of Materials Information on previously harvested materials and future harvesting opportunities
