i-LAMP: Industrywide Learning Aging Management Program Why i-LAMP?
1.
About half of the SFPs in the U.S. do not have a coupon monitoring program 2.
License renewal requires commitment for aging management program 3.
In situ measurements are expensive and may not be reliable - can indicate false degradation as demonstrated by Zion project 4.
Alternative inspection (i.e., panel removal): Not only significant cost but also potentially significant dose for workers as well as risks for damaging panels A Global Approach:
1.
Given SFPs are very similar, can we develop an industrywide program that allows SFPs for which there is no coupon monitoring program to use SFPs with coupons as surrogate?
2.
If similarities are demonstrated with the supporting data, potential benefits of such an approach will also include 1.
Coordination of measurements 2.
Easier identification of trends and potential issues For i-LAMP to be successful, need to maintain remaining coupon population. Recommended:
- 1. Re-insertion of coupons after analysis (instead of discarding them) after Zion comparative analysis project and implemented by the industry
- 2. For early shutdowns, transfer coupons (if any) to a pool with similar characteristics

Sibling Pool Criteria (SPC)
Potential Variables:
Water Chemistry - from Component 1 B levels (PWR); Cl, F, SO4, Silica levels NAM Specification - from Component 2 Age, service time, specifications (areal density, thickness)
NAM Specification - from Component 3 Age, service time, specifications (areal density, thickness)
Additional analysis for similarity/impact determination If there are differences (i.e., service time, water chemistry) evaluate the impact Analysis performed to evaluate how characterization/binning should be done As part of learning aging management, binning will be revisited and revised as needed

Toward Determination of Sibling Pools SFPs without Coupons Similarity Analysis to Determine Sibling Pool(s)
SFPs with Coupons I.
How similar are the NAM characteristics?
1.
10B Areal density Thickness
- 2. Installation year(s)
- 3. Manufacturing year(s)
II. How similar is the water chemistry?
- 1. Boron levels
- 2. Cl, F, Sulfate levels
- 3. Other chemistry parameters (Silica levels, pH, etc.)
Important Questions:
1.
How similar are the NAMs in SFPs?
2.
How similar is the water chemistry between SFPs?
3.
Are there outliers that are not bounded?
If yes, potential approaches to address outliers?

Areal Density: For Boral, all SFPs without coupons are bounded by SFPs with coupons SFP Neutron Absorber Material (NAM) Status: Areal Density (AD)
Boral:
- 3. Some SFPs with Boral have multiple installation dates (same AD) and/or varying AD Ideal case Boralcan

w w w. e p r i. c o m 9
NAM Age: Not all but majority of SFPs without coupons are bounded - due to histories of two SFPs that are considered exceptions SFP Neutron Absorber Material (NAM) Status: NAM Age Boral:
For SFPs, installation and manufacturing year are similar with two exceptions due to their unique history If not ideal case, additional analysis (or alternative solution) is needed Boralcan

w w w. e p r i. c o m 10 Two SFPs with Unique Histories: Outliers for Significant Differences in Manufacturing and Installation Date & Panel Histories
- For both outliers, panels resided in two different SFPs (SFP-1 SFP-2, SFP-A SFP-B)
- Transportation and varying storage time in between two SFPs (Wet-Dry-Wet)
- Based on GL responses, in 2018 neither SFP-2 nor SFP-B had a coupon monitoring program

w w w. e p r i. c o m 19 SFP-2 Updated Status
- Removed two panels from in-service racks to create coupons
- Developed aging management program based on coupon monitoring
- Built two coupon trees
- Placed coupons, representing both Panel-1 and Panel-2, in coupon trees
- Did not place coupons in SS encapsulation
- Placed coupon trees in locations that enable accelerated exposure Key outcomes:
- 1. One less SFP that does not have coupon monitoring program
- 2. Due to age and history, coupons from SFP-2 augment i-LAMP in a unique and valuable way - enable closing knowledge gaps
- 3. SFP-2 has 15 extra coupons for EPRI/industry use - currently not in the pool

w w w. e p r i. c o m 29 Proposed Path - Pilot-1 Instead of simply proposing to use Sibling-1 as surrogate for Pilot-1, proposing:
- 1. Take some of the remaining coupons from Sibling-1 and transfer to Pilot-1 pool
- 2. Pilot-1 built a coupon tree
- 3. Keep half of coupons bare and encapsulate half of the coupons
- 4. Place them on coupon tree and install in Pilot-1 pool
- 5. Develop an aging management program based on coupons This proposed approach has benefits for i-LAMP, Sibling-1, and Pilot-1
- 1. One less SFP without coupon monitoring program
- 2. Increased number of coupons across industry -
beneficial for the health of i-LAMP
- 3. Opportunity to evaluate impact of coupon size on formation of blisters in two SFPs
- 4. Opportunity to evaluate impact of SS encapsulation versus bare coupons
- 5. Opportunity to evaluate impact of higher Boron levels in Sibling-1 versus higher Silica levels in Pilot-1 Specifications for Pilot-1 new Boral, installed in 1998, are very similar to Pilot-2 Boral, described in next slides

© 2021 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.
w w w. e p r i. c o m 34 Proposed Path - Pilot-2
- Pilot-2, where panels were installed in 1999, is bounded by two siblings that has coupon monitoring program
- Sibling-1 is older, installed in 1993
- Sibling-2 panels were installed ~3 years after Pilot-1 panels
- Pilot-2 panels are also very similar to Zion panels
- Older installation date (1994 installation for Zion panels) but the same thickness and minimum certified areal density)
- Water chemistry for Pilot-2 and Sibling pools are very similar except for early Silica levels for Sibling-2
- There are several other pools that do not have coupons but have very similar characteristics to Pilot-2; therefore, similar to Sibling-1 and Sibling-2 Pilot-2 can use Sibling-1 and Sibling-2 as surrogates

w w w. e p r i. c o m 37 Initial Implementation of i-LAMP Why no need for binning in finer resolution, at this time? Key findings to date indicate:
SFP water chemistry is maintained based on recommended values Across the industry, Cl, F, Sulfate levels are mostly below 150 ppb Data and analysis to date does not indicate differences in degradation for PWR vs.
Accelerated corrosion test results showed that even for clad removed coupons, no statistically significant change in areal density Actual panels removed from two SFPs (Zion and SFP-2) do not indicate any significant degradation This finding is especially significant for panels removed from SFP-2 due to unique history of the panels The size of the blistering or pitting observed to date has negligible impact on SFP criticality as demonstrated in EPRI report 3002013119 After all data analysis, for now, proposing two bins:
Bin 1 - SFPs with coupons Bin 2 - SFPs without coupons Commitment to i-LAMP and NEI 16-03 Rev. 1 for implementation Based on the data we have to date, there is no safety significant issue for Boral aging management
© 2021 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.
w w w. e p r i. c o m 38 This approach will eliminate significant burden from industry and the NRC Initial Implementation of i-LAMP After all data analysis, for now, proposing two bins:
Bin 1 - SFPs with coupons Bin 2 - SFPs without coupons Commitment to i-LAMP and NEI 16-03 Rev. 1 for implementation
- i-LAMP is a learning aging monitoring program.
- Data collection and analysis will continue, and number of bins will be refined, if/when needed.
- Updates will be provided to regulator on agreed upon intervals.
© 2021 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.
w w w. e p r i. c o m 39 Question:
Once NEI 16-03, Rev. 1 approved by the NRC, what regulatory interactions are required by the utilities?
In the future, if further binning is needed:
- Based on the data analysis, EPRI developed a table that summarizes sibling pool(s) for SFPs that do not have coupons
- EPRI can share this information with each utility that do not have coupon(s) and their corresponding sibling pool(s) and related supplemental information
- NAM specifications - Areal densities, installation and manufacturing years, thicknesses
- Water chemistries SFPs w/o Coupon Monitoring Program Sibling Pool(s)
SFP-A S-1, S-2, S-3 SFP-B S-1 & S-2 SFP-C & SFP-D S-1 SFP-E, SFP-F, SFP-G S-1 & S-2

w w w. e p r i. c o m 40 Summary and Next Steps Summary
- Collection and analysis of SFP data ongoing as these are live databases
- Addition of panel data from an operating SFP with unique history augmented i-LAMP significantly
- Demonstrated implementation of i-LAMP using two pilot plants as case studies
- Proposed an alternate solution for one of the pilot plants
- Implementation of proposed approach, if approved by regulator, will improve i-LAMP and shed light on few remaining questions Next Steps: i-LAMP as Alternate Monitoring Program
- Publication of EPRI technical report to summarize i-LAMP components, data and sibling pool criteria in late 2021
- NEI 16-03 is being revised to add i-LAMP as alternate monitoring approach
- Regulatory review for the proposed approach is the next step
- For non-US, anticipating several applications after NRC review and approval and EPRI will support non-US applications
- EPRI will continue to maintain i-LAMP, if approved, and provide regular with updates on agreed upon intervals
