Oconee SLRA: Breakout Questions SLRA Section B3.1, Fatigue Monitoring TRP: 60

1 B3.1 B-281 SLRA Section B3.1 indicates that the high 1. Clarify whether the implicit energy line break (HELB) analyses do not fatigue analysis (SLRA exclude break locations based on fatigue 4.3.3) for the Non-Class 1 so that the Fatigue Monitoring program piping systems, which does not apply to HELB. This discussion involves a stress range does not clearly describe whether the reduction factor, has a implicit fatigue analysis (SLRA 4.3.3) for potential impact on the the Non-Class 1 piping systems, which HELB location postulation.

Clarify whether the Fatigue program assures that the number of Monitoring program ensures occurrences of each critical transient that each design cycle as remains within the limits of the fatigue well as the CUF and analyses. The SLRA also indicates that environmental CUF limits the design transients and associated (1.0) is not exceeded during design cycles are listed in Oconee the subsequent period of UFSAR Tables 5-2 (RSC other than extended operation.If not, pressurizer surge line) and 5-23 provide the basis for why (pressurizer surge line). each design cycle is not This discussion does not clearly address identified as the limits of the whether the Fatigue Monitoring program fatigue analyses.

3 B3.1 B-281 The following reference addresses stress -1. Describe the stress-based based fatigue crack growth analyses and monitoring activities that related activities (AD-EG -ALL -1632, are performed in the Revision 2, Integrated Fatigue Fatigue Monitoring Management, Section 5.5.5, Item 2.c). program, including the The procedure also refers to the components under the FatiguePro and WESTEM software as stress-based fatigue applicable computer software. monitoring.
These observations suggest that the Fatigue monitoring program uses stress - 2. Discuss the stress-based based monitoring for fatigue fatigue crack growth management. However, SLRA Section monitoring activities and B3.1 does not clearly discuss the stress - related analyses that are based monitoring activities that are referenced in the program conducted as part of the Fatigue procedure (AD-EG -ALL -
