RE: ACTION: input to bilateral meeting planning sheets for RIC Hi guys, Here is my stab at some language for those RIC meeting talking points - any other thoughts or edits?
- 1. Request for engagement on materials harvesting from decommissioned reactors_
- Overview - Components or materials may be harvested from decommissioning reactors, with particular interest in reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel, reactor internals, concrete, and cables. NRC is pursuing a comprehensive strategy towards ex-plant harvesting, which involves identifying high-value materials to harvest based on matching available materials for harvesting with prioritized data needs.
- Regulatory Need - Harvested materials may be tested to assess the effects of in-plant conditions on component integrity, with focus on aging-related degradation relevant to subsequent license renewal
- Status - NRC is seeking other organizations that are interested in prioritizing data needs for harvesting and identifying optimal opportunities for harvesting.

FW: ACTION: input to bilateral meeting planning sheets for RIC Guys:
See email below and attachments from Greg on upcoming RIC discussions with several countries. There are bullets related to harvesting on France, Japan, and South Korea but we may want to change the wording to reflect the broader harvesting effort that we're doing (i.e.,
not simply requesting materials but developing a strategy to see what high value materials/components may be available and then proceeding accordingly). Does someone want to take a stab at modifying the bullets? Also, I think we should also add this as a topic with Germany and Canada. Thoughts on this?

RES is preparing for bilateral meetings with Canada, France, Japan, Germany, and South Korea at RIC. IPT has requested that for each country, that we provide a listing of requests for assistance or engagement to help support our research programs. These are not intended to document ongoing collaborations, but rather new requests. I've started lists using info previously submitted under the "international prioritization" activity. Please add/delete/edit. The status line should indicate if you have had any previously discussions or interactions on the topic. If you have had none, you should indicate as such. You can mark up these sheets and email back to me. I will consolidate the list. Please aim to provide by Jan. 16. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Greg Steering Committee Briefing on IASCC Code Case Matt Hiser Jeff Poehler
Purpose and Context
Purpose:
Brief committee on planned NRC negative vote on IASCC code case (CC).
- Code Case (CCt (ASME Section XI) provides crack growth reference curves for irradiated stainless steels in LWR environments
- This CC would principally be used in ei;aluation of to evaluate flaws identified by NDE during reactor internals inspections
- Similar curves currently exist in the NRC-approved BWRVIP-99-A for BWR applications up to a fluence of ,v4 dpa
- This CC expands beyond the BWRVIP-99-A curves to a broader higher fluence range and environments and both BWR and PWR environments
- ASME Code Status CC The code case has been approved through the task group and working group levels with NRC voting negative at each level CC The code case is on the agenda for the Subgroup, Evaluation Standards and likely the ASME Standards committee in February
Description of IASCC Code Case
- Uses two empirically fit models to generate a predicted predict crack growth rate (CGR) as a function of a number of parameters One model predicts irradiated yield strength knowing fluence, temperature, cold wor k, and material
- One model predict CGR using irradiated yield strength and knowing temperature and applied stress intensity factor, K
- Unique aspect is that ilrradiation effect is accounted for through the yield stress strength model Used to predict irradiated yield stress as a function of fluence, temperature, material cold work and alloy
- Unique aspects of this approach
- The effect of fluence only alters the irradiated yield strength
- Other ASME CGR models are not directly correlated with yield strength
- The resulting yield stress value is used as an input to the CGR model along with temperature and environment
- CGR model provides as output a crack growth curve as a function of fluence and applied stress intensity factor, K
N RC Concerns
- Applicable fluence range There is very limited data above 20 dpa particularly from for LWR irradiation conditions
- Preliminary data from Zorita materials testing shows some evidence of increasing CGR at higher fluence levels Minimal impact on industry
- The only field applications above 20 dpa are very high fluence PWR components, such as baffle plates
- Applicable stress intensity (K)range There is vVery limited data at low K values
- The little available data shows a nonconservative bias to the model at low K Likely uses of this CC may be used at would be lo\¥ K due to low operating stresses on reactor internals and irradiation-induced stress relaxation on welds
- Yield stress model Uncertainty and scatter in data could cause predicted CGR to be non-conservative by as much as factor of 10 Effect of cold work on saturated yield stress could non-conservatively bias CGR for certain cold-worked materials
- Material applicability

- Industry has responded to these comments, which have addressed some of the staff concerns
- Staff held a call with industry on Nov. 30 to discuss NRC concerns
- Limited progress made during this call
- ASME Code Status
- The code case has been approved through the task group and working group levels with NRC voting negative at each level
- The code case is on the agenda for the subgroup and likely the ASME Standards committee in February
Staff Proposal for Next Steps
- ASME Code Staff will plan to vote negative at the subgroup SGES and Standards committee based on the identified concerns, particularly the applicable fluence range
- Future Rulemaking If changes are not made to the CC to address NRC staff concerns, the staff would propose accepting this CC with likely conditions on the:
- Applicable fluence range
- Applicable K range
- Yield stress model
- Material applicability

- 1. Harvesting - Current plans and activities
- 2. IAD - confirmatory testing plans
- 3. PWSCC Crack Growth - Current research plans and results These don't have to be long presentations. I think the harvesting and IAD ones could be 10 minutes each. The PWSCC one could be 10 - 15 minutes .....

ANL Harvesting Trip First attempt at ANL letter. Edit away!
Dear Bodgan,
Yiren, and??? et all, A few of us at the NRC is looking into(, and me), are setting up a database of materials related to ex-plant materials ror--a harvesting program. A few NRC staff, including Meg Audrain, Matt Hiser, Pat Purtscher, and Rob Tregoning, are involved with this harvesting effort. One of our first steps is to identify materials available from past harvesting programs that may be available in "boneyards" at various labs. We'd like to schedule a visit to ANL to be our "guinea pig" site to get rolling with the effort. Pat Purtscher and Meg Audrain would be the NRC staff attending this visit.
We have four main material areas of interest, aligned w ith NRC's focus areas for SLR: RPV, RVI , cables, & concrete. We-aAG are interested in what materials ANL may have available Ras from past programs w ith the NRC, DOE and others. Our emphasis is in the four areas outlined earlier, but not necessarily limited to those four. Materials of interest also don't necessarily have to be material from plants w ith extensive service history if they may be of research value for other reasons.
We hope to assemble an inventory of available materials related to consider for a harvesting program like, or in potentially in coordination with, that in t he INL NSUF Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library (NFML). Last week, we had a call with staff from INL that are involved with the NSUF NFML and both sides see potential synergies between our interests and the established NSUF specimen library.
Would you all be available and have the resources to meet with us to discuss go over the materials AN L has in inventory? We hope that all of you, with the potential assistance of prior ANL staff such as Omesh Chopra and Bill Shack, will may be able to begin identifying materials of interest before the visit in mid-December we make the trip. This would involve be some limited prep preliminary work on your part and then roughly a half day in person meeting.
We are thinking about planning the trip in mid-Dec, perhaps on Wed., December 13. Would you be available to meet on that date? Would this give you enough time to compile some information on material of potential interest? We would be happy to GaR have a phone call in advance to better describe what we're looking for if that would help.

Re: AW: AW: Interest in Harvesting Workshop Hi Rob, To be honest, with MAI not coming, EPRI not presenting in session 2, CRIEPI only presenting in Sessions 1 and 4 (and no other Japanese t al ks), we have some room in al l but Session 4. Here's the current table based on latest emails. The red shaded lines are slots we'd expected from Japan, MAI, or EPRI.
I' d suggest offering him a slot in session 1 to cover "the role of GRS" and their interest in harvesting and also session 3 if he can quickly go through what plants ar e decommissioning in Germany.

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

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

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Location: NRC HQ in Rockville, MD Potential Dates:
- March 16-17, 2017 - Thursday/Friday of RIC week
- March 20-21, 2017 - Monday/Tuesday after RIC Motivation:
- There are increasing opportunities to harvest the safety-critical components from decommissioning plants, both domestic and international.
- The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.
Purpose and Objective:
- For NRC staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.
- Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated.
Workshop Topics:
- Harvesting decision-making and prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting
- Sources of materials:
o Decommissioning reactors o Operating reactors - replaced components o Previous harvesting programs - "boneyards" o Tracking availlable materials
- Harvesting process o Lessons learned from harvesting experience o Perspective of utility-owner and decommissioning contractor on harvesting o Communication and coordination between decommissioning and researchers
- International collaborative programs on specific components at specific plants

Ex-Plant Materia ls Harvesting UpdatcOne Pager Motivation and Objective:
- Ex-plant materials are valuable for confirmatory testing because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operat ing conditions (t emperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.)
o Generally, research involves accelerated, simulat ed 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 opportu nities to harvest components from decommissioning plants.
- Insights from ex-plant harvest ing would support regulat ory decisions for subsequent license renewal (SLR), and could have implications for the current license period o ~here is a t ask in the new UNR for SLR from NRR/DLR requesting RES to investigat e opportunities for harvesting where appropriate, Commented [Fl1): Please summarize full scope of this task including related database.
Past Activities:
- Workshop in March 2017 o NRC staff host ed a 2-day workshor, w ith interested stakeholders, including domest ic and internationa l utilities and research organizations, to discuss benefits and chal lenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.
o Sessions covered motivation for harvesting, data needs, sources of materials, lessons learned, the practical aspect s of harvesting, and harvesting decision-making and planning o The discussion focused on t he Importance of clearly identifying t he 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 suggestions 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 prioritizat ion of harvesting dat a needs Use cri teria identified in PNNL report !Q_establish effective prioritization scheme for relevant areas: RPV, RPV internals and other metals, electrical components, concrete Commented [Fl2]: Please mention above that this is o [Developing a database identifying sources of materials for harvestin~ supported by the SLR UNR.
- ~tart w it h lab-based "boneyards" of prior harvested materials Commented [FI3J: This needs to be expanded in this
- Visits to ANL, PNNL, and pRN~ (leveraged with already planned travel) support one-pager or on separate slides to address DE management comments/questions on the ANL and this activity follow-on trips (please see my prior email on this).
Coordi nate with DOE NSUF Nuclear Fuel and M aterials Library (NFML) run by INL as Commented [Fl4]: There is no approved travel to appropriate and beneficial ORNL in 2018.

[External_Sender] Draft report M att, Pat, The attached document is a draft and should be treated as such. As discussed, the document is missing some references, and is awaiting some input for the sections on information tools for harvesting. Also note that the section on examples is being rewritten to homogenize the language.
Any feedback on the updates is appreciated.
On the other items:
- We would prefer to combine the report and the workshop summary and issue a single report.
This should help with managing costs associated with producing the report, and will ensure that the report incl udes t he latest information from the workshop.
- I will work with our financial specialists to see where we stand on spending to date and anticipated costs through January. I will touch base with Pat on Monday about this.
- As discussed, it would lbe helpful to have two people from PNNL (me, plus our materials SME) attend the workshop. This (and the associat ed planning and post-workshop summary generation) will require a modification to the scope and costs on the contract.

draft SLR one-pager Feb2018.docx Draft document, The quad chart I made in the upper left hand corner of document needs some finessing . Please take a look.
February 2018 Research to Support the Review of Subsequent License Renewal Applications Issue: As nuclear power plants (NPPs) age, components degrade due to exposure to temperature, neutron irradiation, stress, and/or corrosive media. Research is being conducted to understand the causes and control of degradation mechanisms and provide reasonable assurance of safe operation as NPPs age, particularly beyond the first extended operating period and into subsequent license renewal (SLR).
Fig 1: From top lert, clockwise: representation of the four most significant technical issues: RPV embriUlemenl, IAD of baffle bolt in PWR: concrete degradation. and cable aging.
Key Messages:
- The NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) staff continues to work with the industry, Department of Energy (DOE), and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to leverage research to ensure that aging effects will be adequately managed during the 60 to 80 year operating period.
- RES staff is collaborating with EPRl's Long-Term Operations (LTO) program and DOE's Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) staff on SLR-related research topics. The four most significant technical issues as identified in the SRM on SECY 14-006 (ADAMS ML14241A578) are reactor pressure vessel (RPV) neutron embrittlement, irradiation-assisted degradation (IAD) in reactor internals, concrete degradation, and electrical cable qualification and condition assessment.
- The SLR guidance documents were completed in 2017-2018 and consist of 2693 pages in 4 reports (NUREG-2191, 2192, 2221, and 2222); significant progress has been made in addressing the key technical issues therein.
- SLR applicants may need to augment their aging management plans to address these issues in their applications, unless and until a generic safety basis can be established through this ongoing research.
- The first SLR application was received in late January 2018, from Florida Power & Light for Turkey Point. Near-term research will inform staff reviews of the initial SLR applications.
- Long-term confirmatory research will augment the technical basis for updating regulatory guidance in the future, as necessary, and inform staff reviews of future SLR applications.
Background:
- Working together, INRR and RES conducted three audits to investigate the effectiveness of Commented [CM1): Is this intended to be only an aging management programs (AMPs) used in the plant operating period from 40 to 60 years.
The findings from the audits is-are documented in ~ "Review of Aging Management Programs: Compendium of Insights from License Renewal Applications and from AMP Effectiveness Audits Conducted to Inform Subsequent License Renewal Guidance NRC-lntemal document? If so, RES and NRR may be OK without definitions.
Commented [CM2]: TLR Is undefined. I suggest either "'in the report" or simply "'in."
Documents," (ADAMS Accession No. ML16167A076).
- RES also completed the Expanded Materials Degradation Assessment (EMDA) in cooperation with the DOE LWRS Program. The resultant reports, NUREG/CR-7153, EMDA, Vol. 1-5 (ADAMS ML14279A321, ML14279A331, ML14279A349, ML14279A430, and ML14279A461 ). describe the conclusions from an expert elicitation process to identify the most significant aging degradation 1
February 2018 technical issues for nuclear power reactor operation beyond 60 years.
- The AMP audits and EMDA volumes provided NRC with over 800 suggestions for changes lo the license renewal guidance and aging management program activities found acceptable for operation from 60 to 80 years.
- To support their SLR applications, applicants need to demonstrate that the effects of aging will be adequately managed for an operating period from 60 to 80 years. RES was requested (UNR-2017-006) to assist NRR in holding meetings on these issues, participating and interacting with the DOE and other industry organizations, cataloguing the materials needed for research, and documenting the status and products of research for SLR.
Current Status:
RES has ongoing activities in the following categories, as described in UNR-3017-006 (ML17227A483):
Task 1: Hold NRG/industry workshops on the status of research activities to address and evaluate aging degradation issues identified in the SRM on SECY 14-0016 and in NUREG-2191 .
Task 2 : Develop and implement a long-term strategy for obtaining information on materials degradation from decommissioned 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 : Periodically evaluate significant technical issues germane to review of SLR applications.
Task 5: Provide expert assistance, as requested , with reviewing SLR applications Next Steps/Path-Forward:
- RES will continue to provide NRR with information from the research programs and make recomme ndations regarding potential impacts to regulatory or inspection criteria.
- RES interfaces with other international efforts, such as the International Forum for Reactor Aging Management (IFRAM), and participates in techn ical meetings focused on some elements of proactive management of materials degradation. These efforts leverage l ~highly:-skilled resources outside the NRC to support RES goals in SLR research .
- RES/DE and NRR/DMLR are identifying research vehicles to address any technical gaps. The SRM-SECY-2014-0016 emphasized "the need to strive for satisfactory resolution of these issues prior to the NRG beginning a review of any SLR application."
- RES staff continues to interact with the DOE-LWRS Program, EPRl's LTO initiatives, and IFRAM to monitor relevant developments and, where appropriate, !Q_engage in Joint research activities. The NRC staff is performing the necessary confirmatory research to support timely and efficient reviews of future SLR applications.

I made some nitpicky edits to the text. I also cut a few words that I thought were redundant (in Current Activities) or that made a sentence unnecessarily convoluted (in Harvesting Database).

Dear Mr. Krivanek,
The US NRC would like to propose one more presentation for this autumn's PLiM conference, on harvesting of materials from operating and decommissioning power plants. I understand from Sherry Bernhoft that you already have an impressive number of abstracts, so I will understand if there is not room in the program for this one. Nevertheless, we would appreciate your consideration of this proposal.

RE: FW: PLiM abstract on harvesting Hi Matt, I think the poster looks really good. It is wordy, but for what it is, I think that is fine. You have two eye-catching figures in it, at least, even if they are not directly referenced by the text.
I made some nitpicky edits to the text. I also cut a few words that I thought were redundant (in Current Activities) or that made a sentence unnecessarily convoluted (in Harvesting Database).
Amy has her hands full with other near-term stuff this week, I think. Pat - Do you have a chance to provide a second opinion on this? I will do the release form (390) to go with it for Steve's approval.

Dear RES and NRR BCs:
RES is hosting a workshop on ex-plant materials harvesting at NRC headquarters on March 7-8, 2017. The scope includes aAJ' metallic, electrical, and concrete materials or components that could benefit from harvesting, including metallic, electrica l, and concrete components. I have attached the agenda and workshop introduction slides that cover meeting logistics, motivation, approach, expected outcome, and session expectations.
This workshop includes about two dozen external participants, including representatives from DOE and EPRI as well as international research organizations iR from Japan, Europe, and Canada. Unfortunately, these is limited space available for NRG staff in the room. 1Ne have roached out to selected staff in RES and NRR to participate in the room to ensure we can fully support the workshop topics. {I would delete this; why do we need to raise this and provide a negative impression}. A webinar will be available to allow additional NRC staff to observe and participate in the workshop: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6076202901971284226 .
If you have any questions or need additional information about the workshop, please contact myself or Matt Hiser on my staff.
Sincerely, Steve Frankl Robert Tregoning Technical Advisor for Materials US Nuclear Regulatory Commission

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
- Workshop summary documenting discussion will be distributed among participants
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
- Materials located at research and vendor facilities
- Decommissioning plants that may allow for future harvesting Short 5-10 minute presentations followed by open discussion Starting point for potential database of previously harvested materials and future harvesting opportunities
- Session 4 Harvesting Experience: Lessons Learned and Practical Aspects Improving future efforts with lessons learned from past programs
- Pitfalls to avoid and strategies to improve likelihood of success Practical perspective from non-researchers on how harvesting interfaces with the decommissioning process International decommissioning and harvesting experience 20-30 minute presentations followed by open discussion
Session Expectations
- Session 5 Future Harvesting Program Planning
- Technical and logistical information needed when planning a specific harvesting program Perspective from panel participants on the workshop Next steps and actions from workshop Potential areas of common interest for future harvesting programs Brief (5-10 minute) presentation from each panel member followed by general discussion
