RE: RIC poster (Harvesting) for optical review High Importance:
Good Morning Carol, I don't see where your poster was submitted to QTE for review, You have skipped a few steps:
- 1. I submitted your new title and description to QTE last night and they responded.
- 2. QTE made suggestions and I forwarded those to you this morning with a request to respond by 12 noon today
- 3. You would respond and provide the corrected to RICMST
- 4. Your poster entitled "Review of Additive Manufacturing by Direct Metal Laser Melting to be submitted to QTE for review
- 5. Once QTE submits their suggestions regarding the poster submit final poster to Graphics for review
- 6. Forward final to RICMST Further questions refer to RIC Central link http://drupal.nrc.gov/ric; click ePoster and Digital Presentation Toolbox; select ePoster and Digital Presentation Development Flowchart. You can also call me at 31 -415-3114.

- 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

RE: RIC sessions Hi Kathy, Thanks to Rob for sharing the agenda and announcement information on the harvesting workshop.
Those probably provide as much or more detail than you're looking for, so here are a few summary bullets:
NRC staff are organizing a 2-day workshop on ex-plant materials harvesting for any interested stakeholders, including domestic and international utilities, decommissioning companies, researchers, and regulators.
The purpose of this workshop is for interested parties to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting and to facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated.
Workshop topics include lessons learned from harvesting experience, technical data needs best addressed by harvesting, sources of materials, practical aspects of harvesting, and harvesting decision-making.
Please let me know if you need any further information to aid in this communication with IAEA.
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!

Attached are the following:
- 1. Write-ups for the related sessions on ANLWR and Leveraging International Research (ignore the numbers on the files). Also, please note that these write-ups are sparse; there's not much information on them.
- 2. Harvesting workshop announcement
- 3. Draft harvesting workshop agenda (this is very draft. We haven't reached internal consensus yet or shared with EPRI/DOE). I would share with him the topics we are planning but not the details of the agenda.
I'll let Matt provide the bullets. There are several other RIC sessions with an international flavor. I can provide you with any of those write-ups as you like.
Let me know if you have any questions about any of these attachments or need additional information.

RIC sessions Hey Rob and Matt, I'm wondering if you can help me with something. While I'm in Vienna next week I'm meeting with Ed Bradley, who is part of Nuclear Energy at IAEA and is working to develop cooperative research programs. So I have two requests.. can you please provide a bit of info:
Matt... bullets on our effort to do materials harvesting as well as an agenda for the meeting after the RIC, or perhaps info on who will be participating.
Rob... summaries of the RIC sessions Tl, "Advanced non LWR international coordination and collaboration" and TH29, "Leveraging Internationals Research and Facility to Inform Regulatory Decisionmaking".
I figure I can tell him about the RIC and the harvesting meeting and perhaps he can decide if he thinks it would be worthwhile to support.
Thanks!!!

RE: slides for next week Matt/Amy:
I took a quick look at this and think it's generally okay. You have1/2 hour and there may be more material here than you can fit into the allotted time. If you were to cut information, I'd consider cutting the slides on our current harvesting programs. While these are interesting, they are not germane to developing an information tool to help select future plant SSCs for evaluation.
I also think it would be good to stress that we want to identify the characteristics of important SSC for harvesting up front so that when plants announce their plans, we can move quickly to identify SSCs of interest.
It would really be nice if you provided a concrete example (bad pun) on how this tool would be used. For example, there could be value in getting CASS material with 15% delta ferrite that has received various amount of irradiation(< 0.08 dpa, 1 - 3 dpa, and> 5 dpa). It might be possible to identify a single component (e.g., lower support columns) that might possess the requisite properties for such an evaluation. In my mind at least, the information tool would
ideally identify the material characteristics of interest to study and also components that would possibly satisfy these requirements.
This is just my idea and it may be premature at this point to have in the presentation, but we should be thinking about this now so the information tool is structured appropriately.
- Thanks, Rob PS - let me know when the presentation is final so that I can put it with the rest.

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Nuclear Power Plants M. Hisera, P. Purtschera, P. Ramuhallib, A.B. Hulla, and R. Tregoninga; au.s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG), bPacific Northwest National Laboratory Background and Motivation 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 United States, there is strong interest in extending NPP lifespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years.
Extended plant operation and SLR raise a number of technical issues that may require further research to understand and quantify aging mechanisms. U.S. utilities and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have focused on the aging of systems, structures, and components and in particular four key SLR issues: reactor pressure vessel embrittlement, irradiation-assisted stress-corrosion cracking of reactor internals, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable qualification and condition assessment.
Meanwhile, in recent years, a number of NPPs, both in the United States and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to shut down for various reasons, including economic, political, and technical challenges. Unlike in the past when there were very few plants shutting down, these new developments provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative light-water reactor environments.
In a third related development, economic challenges and limited budgets have restricted the resources available to support new research, including harvesting programs. Given this constrained budget environment, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.
Current Activities The NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, to develop a strategic approach to harvesting aged materials from NPPs. Because of limited opportunities, past harvesting efforts have been reactive to individual plants shutting down and beginning decommissioning. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants and anticipated research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is pursuing 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.
The first step in this strategic approach is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular degradation scenario and should be defined with as much detail as appropriate in terms of the material (alloy, composition, etc.) and environment (temperature, fluence, chemistry, etc.).
Potential Criteria for Harvesting Prioritization A number of criteria may be considered when prioritizing the data needs for harvesting, including the following:
- Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps
_ Harvesting for critical gaps is prioritized over less essential technical gaps.
- Ease of laboratory replication of the degradation scenario
_ For example, simultaneous thermal and irradiation conditions are difficult to replicate, and accelerated aging may not be feasible for a mechanism sensitive to dose rate.
- Unique field aspects of degradation
_ For example, unusual operating experience or legacy material (fabrication methods, etc.) is no longer available.
- Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data
_ There is greater value in addressing an issue applicable to a larger number of plants.
- Harvesting cost and complexity
_ For example, harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables is less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the reactor internals or reactor pressure vessel.
- Availability of reliable inservice inspection (ISi) techniques for the material/component
_ If mature inspection methods exist and are easy to apply, harvesting may be less valuable.
- Availability of materials for harvesting
- Timeliness of the expected research results relative to the objective.
Lifting operation for irradiated materials transport cask Harvesting Database The NRC is pursuing the development of a database for sources of materials for harvesting, which could include both previously harvested materials and those available for future harvesting. This database would allow for aligning high-priority data needs to the available sources of materials. The level of detail for the database should be appropriate for the factors influencing decisionmaking. The NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations in developing the database.
Path Forward In the NRC's experience, harvesting can yield highly representative and valuable data on materials aging, but these efforts will be challenging. Having a clearly defined objective and early engagement with other stakeholders are keys to success. As specific harvesting opportunities are identified through this strategic approach, the NRC welcomes opportunities for cooperation and leveraging of resources with other interested research organizations.

some ideas: ASME Report Steve, Ilka, Carol, Rob --
Can you think of anything else above what I list below? The last ASME Code Week was in Nov.
2016.
- RES is participating in the Fourth Plant Life Management Conference (PLiM) on 23-27 October 2017 in Lyon, France, organized by IAEA. Extended synopses must be submitted via the IAEA website between 1 January and 30 April 2017. The 3rd PLiM was cosponsored by RES.
- RES is a member of the International Forum on Reactor Aging Management (IFRAM) via a mult i-country MOU. The next IFRAM meeting is February 20-22, 2017, SNU, Seoul, Korea.
- RES participated in an EPRI-NRC materials meeting on December 14, 2016 which included discussions of subsequent license renewal (SLR) aging degradation issues.
- RES is sponsoring a March 7-8, 2017 workshop on Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting which will be held at NRC HQ. 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 t he 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.
- RES sponsored work on seismic effects on degradation. The public TLR is available for the public via ADAMS (accession number# ML16263A171)

ASME Report Importance: High Sorry for the late request, but a pronto response would be helpful.
Are there any new, significant RES items that should be identified in the NRC report to the ASME regarding license renewal?
Last month we included the AMP audits compendium TLR.

Hi Amy, Yeah, I think that is all we should need. I put together this Fig. 2 (attached Word doc)
It looks like you've incorporated most of my edits, which is good, but I still think some of the more global questions about the core focus (passive vs. active) and the detailed description in Task 1 (purpose of focus groups/ questionnaire; I don't see how strategic harvesting can be done for dry storage when there is no decommissioning for DCSSs, etc) are out there. At this point, why don't you send it to Steve and try to get his signoff before you leave? I'll do what I can next week, but can't promise anything as I have other responsibilities as well.
Thanks!

Based on information gleaned from discussions on the potential for harvesting and testing of concrete from decommissioned reactors, RES will provide a database to NRR on the possibilities for this activity and prioritize testing in a technical letter report (TLR).
As an example, the TLR will document the process to evaluate concrete samples from nuclear power plants and their suitability for harvesting. Concurrently, RES will pursue domestic and international partnerships for cooperative cost sharing on the retrieval and testing of concrete samples.
RES will provide the database for NRR review and will summarize the priority listing in a TLR. A separate TLR will be submitted to NRR on the process for harvesting and testing of concrete samples from decommissioned plants.

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Nuclear Power Plants M. Hisera, P. Purtschera, P. Ramuhallib, A.B. Hulla, and R. Tregoninga; au.s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG), bPacific Northwest National Laboratory Background and Motivation 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 United States, there is strong interest in extending NPP lifespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years.
Extended plant operation and SLR raise a number of technical issues that may require further research to understand and quantify aging mechanisms. U.S. utilities and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have focused on the aging of systems, structures, and components and in particular four key SLR issues: reactor pressure vessel embrittlement, irradiation-assisted stress-corrosion cracking of reactor internals, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable qualification and condition assessment.
Meanwhile, in recent years, a number of NPPs, both in the United States and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to shut down for various reasons, including economic, political, and technical challenges. Unlike in the past when there were very few plants shutting down, these new developments provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative light-water reactor environments.
In a third related development, economic challenges and limited budgets have restricted the resources available to support new research, including harvesting programs. Given this constrained budget environment, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.
Current Activities The NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, to develop a strategic approach to harvesting aged materials from NPPs. Because of limited opportunities, past harvesting efforts have been reactive to individual plants shutting down and beginning decommissioning. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants and anticipated research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is pursuing 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.
The first step in this strategic approach is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular degradation scenario and should be defined with as much detail as appropriate in terms of the material (alloy, composition, etc.) and environment (temperature, fluence, chemistry, etc.).
Potential Criteria for Harvesting Prioritization A number of criteria may be considered when prioritizing the data needs for harvesting, including the following:
- Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps
_ Harvesting for critical gaps is prioritized over less essential technical gaps.
- Ease of laboratory replication of the degradation scenario
_ For example, simultaneous thermal and irradiation conditions are difficult to replicate, and accelerated aging may not be feasible for a mechanism sensitive to dose rate.
- Unique field aspects of degradation
_ For example, unusual operating experience or legacy material (fabrication methods, etc.) is no longer available.
- Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data
_ There is greater value in addressing an issue applicable to a larger number of plants.
- Harvesting cost and complexity
_ For example, harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables is less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the reactor internals or reactor pressure vessel.
- Availability of reliable inservice inspection (ISi) techniques for the material/component
_ If mature inspection methods exist and are easy to apply, harvesting may be less valuable.
- Availability of materials for harvesting
- Timeliness of the expected research results relative to the objective.
Lifting operation for irradiated materials transport cask Harvesting Database The NRC is pursuing the development of a database for sources of materials for harvesting, which could include both previously harvested materials and those available for future harvesting. This database would allow for aligning high-priority data needs to the available sources of materials. The level of detail for the database should be appropriate for the factors influencing decisionmaking. The NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations in developing the database.
Path Forward In the NRC's experience, harvesting can yield highly representative and valuable data on materials aging, but these efforts will be challenging. Having a clearly defined objective and early engagement with other stakeholders are keys to success. As specific harvesting opportunities are identified through this strategic approach, the NRC welcomes opportunities for cooperation and leveraging of resources with other interested research organizations.

I please go ahead with the meeting (Perhaps, one of you could schedule the meeting for tomorrow AM). If not, we can meet after 1 PM tomorrow.
I have included only those sub-issues that require a deep-dive meeting. I have not included sub-issues related to Alloy 600/690, and the CS - BAC sub-issue. If I have missed any, please let me know. I need to get questions from DLR (at least on the leaching issue).
I believe BT/KB would like to see these questions tomorrow PM. We have already settled down on the questions related to Cables and Concrete. This is the last major issue that would warrant a deep-dive meeting.
I have also attached the table (with Rob's edits).

STAQS action for "Strategic Approach for Obtaining Material and Component Aging Information" w/ PNNL
- Steve, PMDA has notified me today that subject request for proposal and funding action to initiate new work with PNNL had not been routed to you for approval.
This work has three inter-related objectives:
(1)
Develop a long-range strategy for obtaining information from decommissioned NPPs as well as providing the flexibility to get ex-plant components from operating plants.
The focus will be on timely acquisition of experiential real-world aging-degradation information that can significantly improve the agency's risk-informed and performance-based regulatory approach, but has been very difficult or impossible to obtain from the operating reactor fleet.
(2)
Construct a strategic plan and specifications for obtaining unique and significant materials aging degradation information from diverse sources (operating experience, nuclear facilities, long-lived industrial plants, materials organizations) that will inform the NRC's age-related regulatory oversight in the future. This exploratory research is
expected to provide fundamental insights on reactor materials degradation to support anticipated future NRC needs.
(3)
Update the Proactive Management of Materials Degradation (PMMD) information tool developed at PNNL for RES to incorporate L TO/SLR-relevant informatiion so that it can be better used to inform prioritization in the ex-plant material strategic plan.
The tasks associated with this work and their duration are described in the table below:
Task Task Title/Description Task 1 Scoping Study and technical literature review Optional Decision Making on Specific Confirmatory Research Needed to Task 2 Address Gaps Optional Confirmatory Research Addressing Technical Gaps Task 3 Optional Development of Independent Decision Making Tools Task 4 The optional tasks above will be conducted, as shown in the figure below:

strawman harvesting workshop agenda Sherry/Rich:
As promised, we've put together an announcement and a draft agenda for the harvesting workshop on March ih and 8th. 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.

- Steve, Yes, we would be interested in learning more about the topic 1 given below, both from aging viewpoint as well as integrity viewpoint. CIB would be interested in t his, as well.
We would also be engaged in topic 2. In addition to aging and integrity issues, I foresee some interest in material issues related decommissioning. So, it is a good idea to stay engaged with ENSI on this topic. But, I do not see any immediate collaborative efforts on this topic.

FW: Swiss request on decommissioning/dismantling NPPs
- All,
A meeting with RES, NMSS, NRR, and our Swiss colleagues is scheduled for Wednesday 9 March 10:30-11 :30 in the Strathmore room at the Marriott. Below are some ideas that they would like to discuss. Please let me know by Thursday at noon if you have staff that could support this meeting.
ENSI intends to conduct research during the decommissioning and dismantling phases, which is not feasible during operation but can be expected to be beneficial for assessing other plants. We have collected first ideas as follows:
- 1.
Sampling of the containment, the RPV, the core shroud and possibly other components of the pressurized conduits, in order to investigate the samplles concerning embrittlement, cracks etc.
(ageing issues).
- 2.
Sampling of surfaces of the pressurized conduits with respect to platinum deposits. The Muhleberg NPP uses the Online NobleChem application of GE. We already support a research project of the Paul Scherrer institute PSI looking at the distribution of the platinum particles and including the development of a surface sampling technique (NORA project, please confer our last annual research report on our website: http://www.ensi.ch/de/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/05/erfahrungs und forschungsbericht 2014 ensi.pdf ). We are especially interested ini evidence whether or not the platinum reaches also 11difficult-to-access-areas".
- 3.
Our civil engineers want to study the robustness of safety-relevant buildings against earthquakes. So they think about experiments on the vibrational behaviour of these buildings after decontamination, using explosives or other means to induce impulses.

RE: Swiss request on decommissioning/dismantling N PPs Hi Ilka, There is no formal agenda for this meeting but instead the program offcies are using the original Swiss email as the basis for the discussions. It is the opening dialogue with the Swiss on decommissioning and dismantling in general, and they "would like to discuss with the U.S.NRC about research activities during the decommissioning/dismantling of NPPs in the United States, be they already completed, ongoing or planned for the future."
I can go back to the Swiss if additional information is needed.

Swiss request on decommissioning/dismantling NPPs Good afternoon Kenneth, Suzanne, and Ilka, During the December CSNI meeting our Swiss colleague approached me about engaging NRC staff on the decommissioning work underway at NRC. A three member Swiss delegation will attend the RIC and hope to have a separate bilateral meeting to discuss decommissioning activities - past, present and future. While the technical areas listed in the email below focuses on materials (DE), I wanted to notify all divisions about the incoming request and gauge the level of interest. I'll also be reaching out to my counterpart in NMSS for participation in the proposed bilateral meeting Thanks and be careful in the snow!

[External_Senderl Research during decommissioning/dismantling of NPPs Dear Donna-Marie As discussed last week at the CSNI meeting, I'm approaching you because of long-term planning for the decommissioning and dismantling of the MUhleberg NPP, a GE boiling water reactor operated since 1972. The licensee of this NPP, the Bernische Kraftwerke BKW, announced about two years ago that they will shut down the plant in 2019 after 47 years of operation.
ENSI intends to conduct research during the decommissioning and dismantling phases, which is not feasible during operation but can be expected to be beneficial for assessing other plants. We have collected first ideas as follows:
- 1.
Sampling of the containment, the RPV, the core shroud and possibly other components of the pressurized conduits, in order to investigate the samplles concerning embrittlement, cracks etc.

We are
especially interested ini evidence whether or not the platinum reaches also,,difficult-to-access-areas".
- 3.
Our civil engineers want to study the robustness of safety-relevant buildings against earthquakes. So they think about experiments on the vibrational behaviour of these buildings after decontamination, using explosives or other means to induce impulses.
Before planning such investigations in detail, we would like to discuss with the U.S.NRC about research activities during the decommissioning/dismantling of NPPs in the United States, be they already completed, ongoing or planned for the future. We may benefit both from informing us mutually about possible developments in this field in the coming years. On the one hand, we want to avoid unnecessary duplications. On the other hand, it may also be possible for us to organize investigations together with international partners, if there is interest in specific issues. So we also welcome ideas from your side on topics of interest.
As already envisaged, the RIC would be a good opportunity to have a first general discussion on these issues. It would be a pleasure for me to provide a short overview on our situation, and I would be thankful to talk to members of your staff who can give me information about the respective activities of the U.S.NRC. This may provide the basis for more detailed discussions between experts for specific investigations.
I would be very grateful to you for helping me with contacts to members of your staff and with organizing a short meeting in tlhe margins of the RIC in March.
Thank you for this in advance, and I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants M. Hiser*, P. Purtscher*, P. Ramuhallib, A. B. Hull*, R. Tregoning*, and C. E. Moyer*
- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Washington, D.C., USA bPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Richland, WA, USA 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 inte:rest in extending NPP lifespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years. Extended plant operation and SLR raise a number of technical issues that may require further research to understand aging mechanisms. U.S. utilities and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have focused on the aging of systems, strucn1res, and components and in particular four key SLR issues: reactor pressure vessel (RPV) embrittlement, irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking of reactor internals, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable qualification and condition assessment. Meanwhile, in recent years, a number ofNPPs, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to shut down for various reasons, including economic, political, and technical challenges. Unlike in the past when there were very few plants shutting down, these new developments provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative light water reactor (LWR) environments. In a third related development, economic challenges and limited budgets have restricted the resources available to support new research, including harvesting programs.
Given this constrained budget environment, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.
NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Lab (PN NL), to develop a strategic approach for harvesting aged materials from NPPs. Due to limited opportunities, past harvesting efforts have been reactive to individual plants shutting down and beginning decommissioning. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants and anticipated research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is pursuing 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.
The first step in this strategic approach is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular degradation scenario (combination of material and environment) and should be defined with as much detail as appropriate in terms of the material (alloy, composition, etc.) and environment (temperature, nuence, chemistry, etc.).
A number of criteria may be considered when prioritizing the data needs for harvesting, including:
Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps o Harvesting for critical gaps ~ver less essentia-1-!e-OAAi<.~.
Ease of laboratory replication of the degradation scenario o For example, simultaneous thermal and irradiation conditions are difficult to replicate or accelerated aging mav not be feasible for a mechanism sensitive to dose rate Rel geoEI fer aeeelernled agiHg.
Unique field aspects of degradation o For example, unusual operating experience or legacy materials (fabrication methods, composition, etc.) no longer available.
Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data o Greater value in addressing an issue applicable to a larger number of plants.
Harvesting cost and complexity o For example, harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the reactor internals or R.PV.
Availability of reliable in-service inspection (ISi) techniques for the material / component o If mature inspection methods exist and arc easy to apply to monitor degradation, harvesting may be less va!t1able.
Availability of materials for harvesting Timeliness of the expected research results relative to the objective.
The above potential criteria provide a systematic approach to prioritize data needs for harvesting.
Different organizations may weigh and consider each of these criteria differently based on their inte:rests and perspectives, but each criteria is likely relevant to some degree for any organization.
NR.C is interested in engaging with other organizations to prioritize data needs for harvesting and identify areas of eommon interest.
Another activity NR.C is pursuing is the potential development of a database for sources of materials for harvesting, which could include both previously harvested materials and those available for future harvesting. This database would allow for aligning of high-priority data needs to the available sources of materials. As with the data needs effort, the level of detail for the sources of materials database shoulcl be appropriate for the factors influencing deeision-making. NR.C is interested in engaging with other organizations to develop a database for sources of materials for harvesting.
NRC's experience is that harvesting can yield highly representative and valuable data on materials aging, but these efforts may be expensive and challenging. Having a clearly defined objective and early engagement with other stakeholders, including the NPP from which harvesting will take place, are key to success. As specific harvesting opportunities are identified through this strategic approach, the NR.C welcomes opportunities for cooperation and leveraging resources with other interested research organizations.

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants Matthew Hiser, Patrick Purtscher, Pradeep Ramuhalli, Amy Hull, Robert Tregoning, and Carol Moyer
[In the U.S. and global nuclear industry, two recent developments include strong interest in extended plant operation and a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) shutting down. :in the U.S., there is strong interest in extending NPP lifespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years.
Extended plant operation and SLR raise a number of technical issues that may require further research to understand aging mechanisms. U.S. utilities and the NRC have focused on the aging of systems, structures and components and in part icularift four key issuesitfeaS: the !reactor pressure vessel (RPV),
RPV internals and piping, concrete, and electrical component~. Meanwhile, in recent years, a number of NPPs~Rts, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to shut down. Unlike in the past when there were very few plants shutting down, these new developments provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative light water reactor (LWIR) environments. In a related development, economic challenges for the nuclear industry and limited budgets have restricted the resources available to support new research, including harvesting programs. Given this constrained budget environment, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.
NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), to develop a strategic approach forte harvesting af-.aged materials from NPPs. Due to limited opportunities, past harvesting efforts have been reactive to individual plants shutting down and beginning decommissioning. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants, !h.g_NRC is pursuing a more proactive approach to prioritize the data needs best addressed by harvesting and identify the best source of materials to address these-high-priority data needs for regulatory research.
The first step in this strategic approach-t-0-ruiwestiAg is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular combination of material and -environment eemeiAatieA,-and should be defined ~s detailed as appropriate in terms of the material (alloy, composition, etc.) and environment (temperature, fluence, chemistry, etc.). A number of criteria may be considered when prioritizing t he data needs for harvesting, including:
Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps o
Prioritize harvesting for critical gaps over less essential data needs.
Ease of laboratory replication of the environment-material combination o
For example, simultaneous thermal and irradiation conditions may be difficult to replicate or a mechanism sensitive to dose rate may not be good for accelerated aging.
Unique field aspects of degradation o
For example, unusual operating experience or legacy materials (fabrica,t ion methods, composition, etc.) that may no longer be available.
Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data
('coiii"me nted [Fl1]: Please clarify.
Comme nted [Fl2]: Pleased list the four key issues as presented to the Commission and documented in the related CA Note on SLR, i.e. reactor pressure vessel neutron embrittlement at high fluence, irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking of reactor internals, concrete and containment degradation, and electrical cable qualification and condition assessment.
[ Comme nted [Fil]: As specifically as possible?
o There is generally greater value in addressing an issue applicable to a larger number of plants.
Availability of reliable in-service inspection (ISi) techniques for the material/ component o
If inspection methods are mature and easy to apply to monitor and track degradation, perhaps the effort of research with harvested materials is not needed.
Availability of material for harvesting o
The necessary materials/ components must be available to be harvested.
Harvesting cost and complexity o
For example, harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables should be less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the reactor internals or RPV.
Timeliness of the expected research results relative to the objective.
These potential criteria provide a systematic approach to prioritize data needs for harvesting. Different organizations may weigh and consider each ot these criteria differently based on their interests and perspective, but each criteria is likely relevant to some degree for any organization.

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants M. Hiser3, P. Purtscher3, P. Ramuhallib, A. B. Hull3, R. Tregoning3, and C. E. Moyer3 au.s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Washington, D.C., USA bPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Richland, WA, USA 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 subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years.
Extended plant operation and SLR raise a number of technical issues that may require further research to understand aging mechanisms. U.S. utilities and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have focused on the aging of systems, structures, and components and in particular four key SLR issues: reactor pressure vessel (RPV) embrittlement, irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking ofreactor internals, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable qualification and condition assessment. Meanwhile, in recent years, a number of NPPs, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to shut down for various reasons, including economic, political, and technical challenges. Unlike in the past when there were very few plants shutting down, these new developments provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative I ight water reactor (L WR) environments.
In a third related development, economic challenges and limited budgets have restricted the resources available to support new research, including harvesting programs. Given this constrained budget environment, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.
NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), to develop a strategic approach for harvesting aged materials from NPPs. Due to limited opportunities, past harvesting efforts have been reactive to individual plants shutting down and beginning decommissioning. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants and anticipated research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is pursuing 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.
The first step in this strategic approach is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular degradation scenario (combination of material and environment) and should be defined with as much detail as appropriate in terms of the material (alloy, composition, etc.)
and environment (temperature, fluence, chemistry, etc.). A number of criteria may be considered when prioritizing the data needs for harvesting, including:
Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps o
Harvesting foT critical gaps over less essential technical gaps.
Ease of laboratory replication of the degradation scenario
o For example, simultaneous thennal and irradiation conditions difficult to replicate or a mechanism sensitive to dose rate not good for accelerated aging.
Unique field aspects of degradation o
For example, unusual operating experience or legacy materials (fabrication methods, composition, etc.) no longer available.
Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data o
Greater value in addressing an issue applicable to a larger number of plants.
Harvesting cost and complexity o
For example, harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the reactor internals or RPV.
Availability of reliable in-service inspection (ISi) techniques for the material / component o If mature inspection methods exist and easy to apply to monitor degradation, harvesting may be less valuable.
Availability of materials for harvesting Timeliness of the expected research results relative to the objective.
The above potential criteria provide a systematic approach to prioritize data needs for harvesting.

We are in the midst of constructing a database of research needs that can best be served by harvesting materials or components from nuclear power plants. Our initial focus is on metal components to establish and framework but the intent has always been to broaden this database to include non-metallic materials as well as active and l&C components, as appropriate.
Your list gives us a good start. We'll be in touch with you and your branch as this effort becomes more mature and we reach the point of being ready to populate our database more extensively.

STAQS action for "Strategic Approach for Obtaining Material and Component Aging Information" w/ PNNL
- Steve,
PMDA has notified me today that subject request for proposal and funding action to initiate new work with PNNL had not been routed to you for approval.
This work has three inter-related objectives:
(1)
Develop a long-range strategy for obtaining information from decommissioned NPPs as well as providing the flexibility to get ex-plant components from operating plants.
The focus will be on timely acquisition of experiential real-world aging-degradation information that can significantly improve the agency's risk-informed and performance-based regulatory approach, but has been very difficult or impossible to obtain from the operating reactor fleet.
(2)
Construct a strategic plan and specifications for obtaining unique and significant materials aging degradation information from diverse sources (operating experience, nuclear facilities, long-lived industrial plants, materials organizations) that will inform the NRC's age-related regulatory oversight in the future. This exploratory research is expected to provide fundamental insights on reactor materials degradation to support anticipated future NRC needs.
(3)
Update the Proactive Management of Materials Degradation (PMMD) information tool developed at PNNL for RES to incorporate L TO/SLR-relevant informati1on so that it can be better used to inform prioritization in the ex-plant material strategic plan.
The tasks associated with this work and their duration are described in the table below:
Task Task Title/Description Duration (Months)
Task 1 Scoping Study and technical literature review 18 Optional Decision Making on Specific Confirmatory Research Needed to 6
Task 2 Address Gaps Optional Confirmatory Research Addressing Technical Gaps 33 Task 3 Optional Development of Independent Decision Making Tools 33 Task4 The optional tasks above will be conducted, as shown in the figure below:

- Analysis Tools :
~----------------~
Terminate Further Research A decision on further optional research outlined in Tasks 2, 3, and 4 above will be made after completion of Task 1.
For your information I have attached the Statement of Work as well as the Independent Government Cost Estimates that include the cost of the base scope (Task 1) as well as the total cost with options (Tasks 1 through 4).
Please let us know if you want this action recalled and resubmitted for your review in STAQS.

MEMORANDUM TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20S55-0001 Brian E. Holian, Acting Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Michael F. Weber Director of Nuclear Regulatory Research RESPONSE TO USER NEED REQUEST FOR RESEARCH ASSISTANCE ON POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT TECHNICAL ISSUES DURING THE SUBSEQUENT PERIOD OF EXTENDED OPERATION: NRR-2017-006 By memorandum dated May 4, 2017, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) requested assistance from the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) to provide "specific research products to facilitate the evaluation of future applications for a license to operate during the subsequent license renewal (SLR) period (i.e., 60 to 80 years). These products should build upon analysis methods, tools, and expertise developed as part of ongoing and new research activities, focused specifically on aging effects during the SLR period." This user need request (UNR) supersedes and incorporates work from Tasks A and D of the previous UNR NRR-2010-006 "provide support in developing technical information to support evaluating the feasibility of license renewal beyond 60 years." This UNR also supersedes NRR-2014-001 "provide expert assistance with reviewing the guidance documents for subsequent license renewal" and serves as an "umbrella" under which associated SLR-focused technical UNRs are coordinated. These technical UNRs include NRR-2017-001 (reactor vessel internals); NRR-2014-007 (reactor pressure vessel),
NRR-2016-012 (electrical cables), NRR-2012-004 and NRR-2015-007 (concrete degradation), More details on these UN Rs are provided in Table 1 of the Enclosure. For tracking purposes, RES has designated this UNR as NRR-2017-006 (ML16358A427).
The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to UNR NRR-2017-006 with RES's plans to accomplish the following tasks:
Task 1: Hold NRG/industry workshop(s) on the status of domestic and international research activities to address and evaluate aging degradation issues identified in in the SRM on SECY 14-0016 and in the GALL-SLR report (NUREG-2191).
Task 2: Develop andl implement a long-term strategy for obtaining information on materials degradation from decommissioned nuclear power plants (NPPs), as well as from ex-plant components harvested from operating plants.
Task 3: Continue to develop domestic and international partnerships to share expertise, capabilities, and resources related to aging management research.
Task 4: Develop documentation evaluating significant technical issues germane to the review of SLR applications.
Task 5: Provide expert assistance with reviewing SLR applications (optional task)
B. Holian CONTACT : Amy Hull, RES/DE 301 -415-2435 2
RES staff is conducting ongoing coordinating activities to address Tasks 1, 2, and 3, including both independent and collaborative efforts with industry and other partners. RES staff will continue these activities and integrate the results in deliverables under Task 4. The response has been closely coordinated with NRR technical staff and management. As a result of this effort, RES added optional Task 5. If needed, under this task, RES staff would provide expert assistance with the review and evaluation of SLR applications. The enclosure addresses in greater detail the scope of ongoing and planned activities associated with each task, as well as the estimated resources and the anticipated schedule for the deliverables.
RES staff appreciates the coordination with NRR technical staff and management in this area. We will continue to coordinate with NRR staff and management to ensure that regulatory needs and priorities are satisfied. Changes in the availability of resources or NRR needs could impact the activities, deliverables and schedules of this UNR. In such cases, changes will be implemented jointly by RES and NRR and, if warranted, the UNR will be amended.

His feedback was similar, i.e. management seems to be "booked" next week. He recommended that we take about 15 minutes from the AM briefing. If the AM briefing is rescheduled we should still plan to brief management on the revision of the EPRI agreement on Tuesday.
Matt, Eric, Please follow up on this ASAP Tuesday morning.

Update: NRC/EPRI Management mtg
I stopped by to talk with Brian Thomas this afternoon about talking points that we provided for next week's NRC/EPRI management meeting (5/30). I gave Brian a paper copy of the notes that CMB prepared, citing 3 topics of interest for possible collaboration with EPRI: Harvesting, Irradiated materials testing (and a plan B for Halden), and Advanced manufacturing.
Brian said these notes would be good to have "in his back pocket." He did not indicate an interest in sharing these with EPRI, nor a strong interest in bringing up these topics in the meeting.
I reminded him that we have a scheduled briefing on additive manufacturing on Tuesday morning, and at that time, we can refresh his knowledge on all 3 of these topics. He asked me to look at the possibility of delaying the briefing, as he expects to be quite busy on Tues. AM, returning from the holiday, and traveling to NIST in the afternoon with the new office director.
AMY: Looking at Brian's calendar, his only other 1-hour opening next week appears to be Thursday at 10 AM. I am not sure whether this is enough of a delay for him, nor whether you are available at that time, but I am just asking. Can you please check in with Cassandra &
Gracie about rescheduling the briefing, as soon as you get a chance?
Happy Memorial Day, all.

RE: UPDATE ACTION: Topics for Materials Exchange Meeting May 22-26
- All, I have a general comment about the slides we produce. I was wondering if you have seen a shift to the 16:9 slide size in the meetings and conferences you attend? I have seen it used in many of the ones I attend. I suppose it's due to the increased use of flat panel displays. Should we move towards the 16:9 slide size as a standard?

REMINDER ACTION: Topics for Materials Exchange Meeting May 22-26 Importance: High
- All, This is a friendly reminder for the program leads to send me about 3 slides for their specific topic below ASAP but no later than COB Tuesday.
The attached draft agenda is still evolving but based on the latest alignment meeting with DM LR yesterday, there is no major change in the CMB specific sessions. Here are some guidance and takeaways provided by NRR:
The focus of the presentations should be on the impact of the results to plant operation and licensing, and not an emphasis on "here is what we are doing." Make sure the intended messages are clear in each area.
The question to keep in mind for all of the NRC presentations is: why should the industry care about the information the NRC is presenting? If we cannot identify a current or short-term aspect that the industry should care about, then we should hold the topic to a possible presentation at a future meeting.
Please let me know if you need further guidance or clarifications on the above.

[External_Sender] 2018-05-22 agenda draft Gents - here is a first cut at the agenda. I'll let the 2 of you coordinate with your peers. I sent a copy to the industry leads for their review and comment. We can adjust as needed.
I'm not sure this bunch will interested in the advanced non-LWRs. If we need more time for other items we could reduce the tome for that topic. Also we are very light on Thursday morning so we can stretch out some items or finish Wednesday afternoon.
Thoughts?

UPDATE for ACTION: Propose topics for Annual NRC/EPRI MOU review meeting Importance: High
- Greg, We have one more topic and draft talking points supporting subject management meeting. Please submit them to DE manageme11t for consideration ASAP.
- 1.
Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting
- a.
NRC and EPRI have cooperated effectively on several materials harvesting programs, including the reactor internals from Zorita. NRC hosted an ex-plant materials harvesting workshop in March 2017 that was attended by EPRI, DOE and international parties, which provided valuable insights and feedback on best practices and lessons learned from past harvesting efforts.
- b.
NRC is prioritizing data needs for harvesting and collecting information on available sources of materials (including operating and decommissioning plants as well as
previously harvested materials) to ensure the best value for research on harvested materials.
- c.
NRC is interested in engaging with EPRI on their priorities for harvesting and how to achieve the best value in pursuing harvesting opportunities, including leveraging and cooperation.
- d.
If EPRI and NRC management are aligned, informal coordination and dialogue will be pursued that could be formalized through MOU addenda or cooperative agreements for any specific research activities that result.
- 2. Test Reactors and Irradiated Materials Testing (New topic in response to the evolving status of the Halden Reactor)
- Thanks, Steve
- a.
NRC is performing a strategic review of options for test reactor irradiation and irradiated materials testing capabilities, particularly in light of the potential shutdown of the Halden Reactor.
- b.
NRC and EPRI cooperation on the Zorita materials research has been effective for leveraging resource-intensive testing of highly irradiated reactor internals materials.
- c.
NRC is interested in further opportunities for leveraging and cooperation with EPRI for test reactor irradiation and irradiated materials testing capabilities, particularly if currently planned efforts at Halden are not able to be completed.
- d.
If EPRI and NRC management are aligned, informal coordination and dialogue will be pursued that could be formalized through MOU addenda or cooperative agreements for any specific research activities that result.
Annual NRC/EPRI MOU Review Meeting-May 30, 2018 Proposed RES/DE Topics
- 1. Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting
- a. NRC and EPRI have cooperated effectively on several materials harvesting programs, including the reactor internals from Zorita. NRC hosted an ex-plant materials harvesting workshop in March 2017 that was attended by EPRI, DOE and international parties, which provided valuable insights and feedback on best practices and lessons learned from past harvesting efforts.
- b. NRC is priorit1izing data needs for harvesting and collecting information on available sources of materials (including operating and decommissioning plants as well as previously harvested materials that we have previously used in NRC-sponsored research activities) to ensure the best value for research on harvested materials.
- c. NRC is interested in engaging with EPRI on their priorities for harvesting and how to achieve the best value in pursuing harvesting opportunities, including leveraging and cooperation.
- d. If EPRI and NRC management are aligned, informal coordination and dialogue will be pursued that could be formalized through MOU addenda or cooperative agreements for any specific research activities that result.
ACTION: Work proactively with EPRI to identify harvesting opportunities in metals, concrete and cables to ensure the best resource leveraging. We propose developing an MOU addendum or cooperative agreement to achieve this outcome.
- 2. Test Reactors and Irradiated Materials Testing (New topic in response to the evolving status of the Halden Reactor)
- a. NRC is performing a strategic review of options for test reactor irradiation and irradiated materials testing capabilities, particularly in light of the potential shutdown of the Halden Reactor.
- b. NRC and EPRI cooperation on the Zorita materials research has been effective for leveraging resource-intensive testing of highly irradiated reactor internals materials.
- c. NRC is interested in further opportunities for leveraging and cooperation with EPRI for test reactor irradiation and irradiated materials testing capabilities, particularly if currently planned efforts at Halden are not able to be completed.
- d. If EPRI and NRC management are aligned, informal coordination and dialogue will be pursued that could be formalized through MOU addenda or cooperative agreements for any specific research activities that result.
ACTION: Actively conduct contingency planning with EPRI to identify the most viable option(s) for the structural material testing that is currently planned under the Halden Research Project. A cooperative agreement or MOU addendum may be proposed to implement the most viable option identified during the planning phase.
- 3. Advanced Manufacturing, including Additive Manufacturing (3D printing)
- a. NRC and EPRI are separately investigating advanced manufacturing techniques that may be applied in operating reactors to produce replacement parts, or in new and advanced reactors to produce novel components.
- b. NRC hosted a public workshop on additive manufacturing (AM) in November 2017 that was attended by EPRI, DOE, and numerous other organizations. The meeting scope included standardization activities, AM research and applications in nuclear and other industries, AM processes and capabilities, and technical and regulatory challenges.
- c. EPRI staff (Dave Gandy) provided NRC with an overview of a DOE-supported demonstration project to produce a 2/3-scale reactor pressure vessel for a small modular reactor (SMR) using advanced manufacturing, with goals of reducing both cost and manufacturing cycle time. The processes employed were powder metallurgy with hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP), electron beam welding (EBW),
and diode laser cladding (DLC).
- d. NRC is interested in engaging with EPRI on addressing technical and regulatory challenges to adoption of advanced manufacturing techniques. If EPRI and NRC management are aligned, informal coordination and dialogue will be pursued that could be formalized through MOU addenda or cooperative agreements for any specific research activities that result.
ACTION: NRC is starting to develop an agency plan (or roadmap) on AM that will identify research needs. If EPRI has plans to develop a similar roadmap, NRC would like to coordinate with EPRI to ensure that the research planned within each organization is aligned and focused on developing a sufficient technical basis to support implementation of AM within the nuclear fleet. This collaboration could be performed informally or through separate agreements or MOU addenda. It is envisioned that, once the roadmaps are developed, there may also be specific research activities that could be jointly pursued through separate agreements or an MOU addenda.

Tregoning, Robert;Kirk, Mark;Sircar, Madhumita;Koshy, Thomas RE: Workshop Follow-up Attachments:
NRC Technical Data Needs for Harvesting.pptx Thanks for joining this meeting and supporting the workshop last week.
For each area (Mark - RPV, Matt/Rob - other metals, Tom - electrical, and Mita -
concrete), we're looking to identify a prioritized list of data needs for harvesting. I've attached the slides from last week's workshop for reference.
For electrical and concrete, feel free to "bin" the data needs into high and low cost bins.
High cost would refer to irradiated or contaminated components that will be more expensive and may need leveraging with external organizations. Low cost would be non-irradiated or contaminated components, that are relatively cheap and easy to harvest and could probably be done independently by NRC if needed.
For each data need, we should identify the following:
Purpose / objective - why do you want it?
Material to be harvested - what do you want?
What is the expected outcome from this research? (Regulatory improvement, fills data gap,... )
If known, where do you plan to get this material?
Please try to compile input by end of April if possible.
Thanks!

Workshop Summary Report Hi Pat, Rob, and Pradeep,
I'd like to share with you a largely complete initial draft of the harvesting workshop summary report. I tried to capture the important points of the presentations and discussion at the workshop and then synthesize that down to "key takeaways" (I am open to a better term, but that's what I came up with). I still need to fill in the section on "References to Past Harvested Materials Research", but otherwise consider this a complete draft.
Please feel free to review and comment the overall organization, level of detail, etc. You can also review the specific wording with edits and tracked changes if you'd like, although I'd suggest not spending too much effort down in the weeds at this point.
My hope is to get some feedback in the next 2 weeks from this group and then share with the broader group of workshop attendees by the end of May for their review and input with a target to finalize this report by the end of June.
Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions!
Matt

- Amy, We made different requests for Zion material over time. The attached summarize the different requests. Regarding the EMDA, I contacted Jeremy and it would take him some time to get the RPV and concrete tables but could probably be done. Typical with Jeremy, he wants to know what you want it for before he will hand it over. I don't really understand so I would suggest that you or Pradeep contact him to explain. It's unfortunate that I never got the files from Srini, seems like one of those things that fell through the cracks.

Zion spreadsheet & prioritization of potential harvesting opportunities Hi Greg, We have a new project with PNNL It was described as follows in Raj's document that went to NEI, DOE LWRS, and EPRI LTO. When I talked to Rob about DLR's interest in this (we may have information-finding audits at a couple of plants (Vermont Yankee? SONGS?) that are in the process of decommissioning,) he mentioned that you had canvassed a lot of people and prepared a spreadsheet for Zion.
( 1) Please can I take a look at this spreadsheet?
Also Srini had mentioned that the EMDA excel spreadsheet data obtained from his time at ORNL after the panels were done, was put into your Gdrive folders, which I could not find. I sent you a separate email about that.
(2) Please can you tell me how to get this info?
THE FOLLOWING SUB-ISSUES ARE NOT INTENDED FOR DEEP-DIVE DISCUSSIONS AT THIS TIME.
HOWEVER, THE STAFF COULD MENTION THESE SUB-ISSUES DURING THE DEEP-DIVE MEETING, IF TIME PERMITS. IF NOT, THE STAFF COULD SEEK MORE INFORMATION ON THESE AFTER THE ACRS BRIEFINGS.
Cross-Cutting-Issues Requiring Better Knowledge in the Longer Term (3-8 Years)
- 1) Library of Potential Ex-Plant Harvesting Opportunities:
Significance:
At the June 2-4, 2015 Annual lndustry-NRC Materials Programs Technical Info Exchange Meeting, NRC staff presented a strategic approach for obtaining material and component aging information. Creating a roadmap for obtaining information (including ex-plant harvesting) from designated NPPs as they go through decommissioning is complementary to ongoing research in developing technical information to support evaluating SLR applications. The focus is on timely acquisition of experiential real-world aging-degradation information that has been very difficult or impossible to obtain from the operating reactor fleet. There was interest from industry participants that perhaps can be followed up on in the context of deep-dive discussions and the existing MOUs. ln the past few years, four plants have ceased operation or announced that they will cease operation: Crystal River Unit 3 (PWR), Kewaunee (PWR), San Onofre Units 2 & 3 (PWR), and Ve1mont Yankee (BWR). These plants comprise a range of reactor types, containments, and SSCs important to safety. The primary objective of this project is to develop a long-range strategy for obtaining information from such plants as they go through decommissioning.
Specific Question/Comments:
a) Will industry support NRC in evaluating the availability of ex-plant materials and infonnation? One of the perceived tasks is to interview cognizant individuals at the identified plants who possess critical knowledge.
b) Will industry support NRC to create a library of potential harvesting opportunities through the auspices of such organizations as IF RAM or the IAEA CRP? Can we collaborate on such activities through our MOUs?

Note to requester: This page is the attached file, "Zion miscellaneous part requests.docx".
NRC Request for Zion Materials - Scope Cables Note to requester: This page, and the next page, are the attached tile "NRC Requests for Electrical Equipment.docx."
NRC is interested in obtaining naturally aged cables from Zion. Our primary interest is in cables that have been exposed to thermal and radiation environments, i.e. in-containment cables. We are looking for cables that are widely used in the nuclear industry and are hoping to find many cable samples from Zion. Specific characteristics are listed below.
Safety-related cables in harsh environment (in containment cables) -
120 V - 4160 V AC 250 V DC, Single conductor cables 1 2 AWG Multi-conductor cables with a cross sectional diameter of 1.5 in.
Instrumentation & control cables, power cables; Any available brands (Rockbestos, Okonite, Kerite, General Cable, Eaton, Samuel Moore, etc.)
All insulation types (EPR, PE, XLPO/XLPE, SiR, CSPE, etc.)
Based on the schedule discussed during the meeting, it is anticipated that in-containment cables would be available during the next year.
Secondly, we would like cables in mild environments, in order to perform further analysis on addressing extending cable life. These cables would be located outside containment.
Non-safety related cables in mild environment (outside containment cables):
120 V - 4160 V AC 250 V DC, Single conductor cables 12 AWG Multi-conductor cables with a cross sectional diameter of 1.5 in.
Instrumentation & control cables, power cables; Any available brands (Rockbestos, Okonite, Kerite, General Cable, Eaton, Samuel Moore, etc.)
All insulation types (EPR, PE, XLPO/XLPE, SiR, CSPE, etc.)
Our understanding is that once the electrical distribution system has been reconfigured, these cables would be available for retrieval.
Third, we would be interested to get approximately 1 O' sections of cable trays where a flame retardant coating was used would be even better would be to get a cable tray section of cables where a flame retardant coating (e.g., Flamastic) was used.
For safety and non-safety cables, if there is any documentation available, that information would be useful. In regards to sample size, we would need a minimum of five 30 foot lengths of each cable sample. If available, any information regarding the environment would be helpful (temperature, radiation, etc). As samples are removed, we would like to record where the cables are located to estimate information on the service environment. Also, in order to adequately
mark and identify the samples, a walk-down of containment is necessary. We will plan on a walk-down in the next 4-6 months and coordinate with NRC Region Ill.
Motor Operated Valves From the meeting, we understand that Zion has Limitorque MOVs. We would like 3-5 MOVs located inside containment. Any documentation (qualification file, qualification test reports, etc.)
would be helpful, if available. Additionally, the service environment (temperature, radiation, etc.)
would be helpful in quantifying the service life and associated degradation. As samples are removed, we would like to record where the cables are located to estimate information on the service environment.
We understand that these would be available sometime in 2012.
Electrical Penetration Assemblies We would like 5-6 electrical penetration assemblies. Our understanding is that once the electrical distribution system has been reconfigured, these samples would be available for retrieval. Thus, these samples would be available in 2012. Any documentation (qualification file, qualification test reports, etc.) would be helpful, if available. Additionally, the service environment (temperature, radiation, etc.) would be helpful in quantifying the service life and associated degradation. As samples are removed, we would like to record where the cables are located to estimate information on the service environment.
Transmitters From our meeting, we were informed that Zion has Rosemount transmitters. We would like 5-6 of each of the 1152, 1153, and 1154 models of Rosemount transmitters. Any documentation (qualification file, qualification test reports, etc.) would be helpful, if available. Additionally, the service environment (temperature, radiation, etc.) would be helpful in quantifying the service life and associated degradation. As samples are removed, we would like to record where the cables are located to estimate information on the service environment.
NEXT STEPS We will coordinate with Tom Rosseel and NRC Region Ill to schedule a walkdown of containment to identify specific samples that we would be interested in obtaining.
NRC is requesting materials from the spent fuel pool at the Zion Nuclear Power Station. These include:
Samples of Bora I neutron absorber plates. If possible, samples of different radiation doses and different pool locations are requested. Due to the possible batch to batch and even plate to plate variation of Bora! composite, it is better to obtain more samples of smaller size. The specific number and location of the specimens may be determined based on further discussions with Zion Solutions.
Complete rack section, including Bora! plates, aluminum racks, and stain less steel sheaths. A section of rack which is 2x2 or 3x3 cells should be sufficient. If Zion spent fuel pools contain flux-trap and checkerboard-type rack configurations, samples of both types of racks are requested. The specific number and location of the specimens may be determined based on further discussions with Zion Solutions.
If possible, it is important that the complete pedigree of any samples are known, such as vendor, heat number, lot number, exact composition, porosity, and fabrication history. Pool exposure conditions, radiation history, and any other history of the particular sample panel are also requested.

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Update Motivation and Objective:
Ex-plant materials are valuable for confirmatory testing because t hey have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.)
o Generally, research involves accelerated, simulated aging conditions in a lab which may not be as representative of actual in-service aging o
Highly representative materials (actual plant components) and aging condit ions reduces the uncertainty associated with t he applicability of research findings.
With plants shutting down both in the U.S. and Europe, t here are increasing opportunities to harvest components from decommissioning plants.
Insights from ex-plant harvesting would support regulatory decisions for subsequent license renewal (SLR), and could have implications for the current license period 2-§here is a task in the new UNR for SLR from NRR/DLR requesting RES to investigate opportunities for harvesting where appropriate, Past Activities:
e
- Requests RES to develop a database to prioritize needs best addressed by harvesting and develop a process to evaluate the suitability of materials available for harvesting W orkshop in March 2017 o
NRC staff hosted a 2-day workshop with interested stakeholders, including domestic and international utilities and research organizations, to discuss benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.
o Sessions covered motivation for harvesting, data needs, sources of materials, lessons learned, the practical aspects of harvesting, and harvesting decision-making and planning o
The discussion focused on the importance of clearly identifying the need and purpose for performing a harvesting project. All participants agreed harvesting is a complex and expensive proposition, but one that can be worthwhile if the need is clearly defined and addressed.
PNNL Report on Harvesting Criteria o
PNNL has produced a draft final report for NRC on criteria for harvesting decision-making and planning o
Provides overview of past harvesting efforts and lessons learned as well as suggest ions for approach to prioritize data needs for harvesting PliM o
NRC staff provided a presentation, poster, and paper for the recent PliM conference In October 2017.
Path Forward:
Focused on two parallel efforts:
o Developing alignment within NRC on prioritization of harvesting dat a needs Use criteria identified in PNNL report to establish effective prioritization scheme for relevant areas: RPV, RPV internals and other metals, electrical components, concrete o

RE: Decision by the RIC Committee Are there any actions from the workshop that could be followed up at the RIC?
The outstanding actions mainly involve both internal follow-up and follow-up with external organizations. It's not clear to me how the RIC could be used to facilitate that Such as, a status update?
We could provide a summary of the workshop, a summary of the PNNL harvesting plan, and a status update. This is just an NRC session at that point which is not that useful. To have a good session, we would want to bring in EPRI, DOE, and some international folks to talk about their plans in this area. This is essentially what we did with the workshop.
Also, is there value for rolling out the harvesting plan to the general public?
None that I can see other than to share with the public that we're doing this. It's not a particularly controversial topic nor is it one that will likely generate much public interest In short, I don't see a significant benefit from our end but I can always be convinced.

RE: Decision by the RIC Committee This smacks of not having enough nominated RIC sessions as was the case last year. What are everyone's thoughts? What could we hope to achieve with a RIC session that we couldn't achieve with the workshop last March?

Decision by the RIC Committee
Hey Greg and Matt, Your poster session on harvesting of aged materials has been recommended for acceptance for the 2018 RIC. However, the RIC Technical Review Committee thinks this may be a good topic for converting it into a technical session.
Please let me know if you would like to convert it to a technical session. If so, please provide your updated Submission Form with the revised description by COB 10/31/17.
Thanks!
Sean

Discussion Questions When: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 8:00 AM-9:00 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).
Where: HQ-TWFN-10A73-8p
Discussion Questions Session 1 Why is your organization interested in harvesting compared?
What is the motivation and purpose How does harvesting fit into your organization's research priorities?
Session 2 What factors should be considered to make a data need better addressed by harvesting versus alternative aging research?
What role should harvesting play in relation to other research?
o Validate accelerated aging?
o Provide representative/ bounding aging conditions compared to more (or less) conservative artificial aging tests?
Where are the areas of greatest overlap in data needs for harvesting among the participants in this meeting?
Session 3 What previously harvested materials are available for potential use by other researchers?
o Are there opportunities for using previously harvested materials to address current data needs of any organizations?
What future harvesting opportunities from decommissioning plants exist?
o What is the best way to identify additional design information (material, fluence, temperature) for specific plants?
What opportunities are there for harvesting from operating plants?
Session 4 What are some common pitfalls and challenges that have been experienced in harvesting projects?
o What strategies could help avoid or mitigate these challenges?
What would decommissioning companies and plant owners suggest that researchers do to improve the harvesting process?
o What would researchers with harvesting experience suggest for plant owners and decommissioning companies to improve the harvesting process?
How do the practical aspects of harvesting vary when harvesting concrete, electrical components, primary system components, or highly irradiated vessel or internals components?
What type of planning and communication structure has worked best to facilitate successful harvesting programs?
How do harvesting experiences vary between different countries based on culture, regulatory structure, or decommissioning plans?
Session 5 What additional technical or practical information are important to consider before deciding on a specific harvesting project?
What new perspective or insights did you gain from the discussion over the last two days regarding harvesting?
What are the next steps and actions this group can take to maximize the benefits of this workshop and allow for collaborations to develop for future harvesting programs?

Emailing: The EnBw Strategy for Decommissioning and Dismantling of uclear Power Plants.pdf Here's the presentation I was telling you about. I spoke to the presenter briefly after he gave it. At this point, it would be good to contact him directly and see if he's still at EnBW and ask him about participation in the workshop. It's a long-shot at this point, but worth a try.....
