Report for the Aging Management Audit St. Lucie Plant, Units 1 and 2 Subsequent License Renewal Application
- 1. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted an aging management audit of Florida Power & Light Company (FPL, applicant) of (1) plant-specific operating experience (OpE), (2) methodology to identify the systems, structures, and components (SSCs) to be included within the scope of license renewal and subject to an aging management review (AMR)
(Scoping and Screening Portion), and (3) aging management programs (AMPs), AMR items, Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAA) and associated bases and documentation as applicable (AMP and TLAA Portion) for the subsequent license renewal (SLR) of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-67 and NPF-16 for St. Lucie Plant (SLP), Units 1 and 2.
The purpose of the plant-specific OpE portion of the audit is to identify examples of age-related degradation, as documented in the applicants corrective action program database. FPL searched their OpE database and provided the results for the associated AMPs and TLAAs for NRC staff review. Additional word searches were performed by FPL upon NRC staffs request, and the results were provided to the NRC staff for review.
The purpose of the Scoping and Screening portion of the audit is to evaluate the scoping and screening process as documented in the license renewal application, implementing procedures, reports, and drawings, such that the NRC staff:
Obtains an understanding of the process used to identify the SSCs within the scope of license renewal and to identify the structures and components subject to an AMR.
Has sufficient docketed information to allow the staff to reach a conclusion on the adequacy of the scoping and screening methodology as documented and applied.
The purpose of the AMP and TLAA Portion of the audit is to:
Examine FPLs AMPs, AMR items, and TLAAs for SLP; Verify FPLs claims of consistency with the corresponding NUREG-2191, Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report, issued in July 2017, AMPs, and AMR items; and Assess the adequacy of the TLAAs.
Enhancements and exceptions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The NRC staffs review of enhancements and exceptions will be documented in the safety evaluation report (SER).
The regulatory bases for the audit was Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants. The staff also considered the guidance contained in NUREG-2192, Standard Review Plan for Review of Subsequent License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (SRP-SLR), dated July 2017, and NUREG-2191. The SRP-SLR allows an applicant to reference in its license renewal application the AMPs described in GALL-SLR Report. By referencing the GALL-SLR
Report AMPs, the applicant concludes that its AMPs correspond to those AMPs reviewed and approved in the GALL-SLR Report and that no further staff review is required. If an applicant credits an AMP for being consistent with a GALL-SLR Report program, it is incumbent on the applicant to ensure that the plant program contains all of the elements of the referenced GALL-SLR Report program. The applicant should document this determination in an auditable form and maintain the documentation onsite.
- 2. Audit Activities A regulatory audit is a planned, license-related activity that includes the examination and evaluation of primarily non-docketed information. A regulatory audit is conducted with the intent to gain greater understanding of an application, to verify information, and, if applicable, to identify information that will require docketing to support the staffs conclusions that form the basis of the licensing or regulatory decision.
Licensing conclusions or staff findings are not made in the audit reports since licensing and regulatory decisions cannot be made solely based on an audit. Therefore, items identified but not resolved within the scope of the audit will be followed up using other NRC processes, such as requests for additional information (RAIs), requests for confirmation of information (RCIs),
and public meetings. Licensing conclusions, staff findings, and resolution of audit items will be documented in the staffs SER.
The following sections discuss the subsequent license renewal application (SLRA) areas reviewed by the staff.
SLRA AMP B2.2.1, Fatigue Monitoring Summary of Information in the Application. The SLRA states that AMP B2.2.1, Fatigue Monitoring, is an existing program with enhancements that is consistent with the program elements in GALL-SLR Report AMP X.M1, Fatigue Monitoring. To verify this claim of consistency, the staff audited the SLRA AMP. Issues identified but not resolved in this report will be addressed in the SER. During the audit, the staff also reviewed the enhancements associated with this AMP. The staff will document its review of the enhancements in the SER.
At the time of the audit, the applicant had not yet fully developed the documents necessary to implement this enhanced program, and the staffs audit addressed only the program elements described in the applicants basis document.
Audit Activities. During its audit, the staff interviewed the applicants staff and reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by the applicant via the ePortal. For the OpE review, the applicant made a presentation on the process used to identify and evaluate the pertinent OpE. Afterwards, the staff conducted its review of the applicants methodology and OpE by reviewing documentation contained in the SLRA and ePortal. Furthermore, the staff conducted additional OpE searches on the applicants Corrective Action Program (CAP) database.
The table below lists documents that were reviewed by the staff and were found relevant to the program. The staff will document its review of this information in the SER.

The staff found that, for the monitoring and trending, acceptance criteria, and corrective actions program elements, sufficient information was not available to verify whether they were consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP. The staff will consider issuing RAIs in order to obtain the information necessary to verify whether these
program elements are consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations.
The monitoring and trending program element of GALL-SLR Report AMP X.M1, Fatigue Monitoring Program indicates that the program provides for revisions to the fatigue analyses or other corrective actions (e.g., revising augmented inspection frequencies) on an as-needed basis if the values assumed for fatigue parameters are approached or the transient counts exceed the design or assumed quantities. In comparison, SLRA Section B.2.3.44 addresses the ASME Code, section XI, appendix L flaw tolerance analysis for the pressurizer surge line. However, SLRA section B.2.2.1 for the Fatigue Monitoring Program does not clearly describe whether the program will monitor the transient cycles, which are assumed in the appendix L analysis, to ensure the validity of the assumed transient cycles.
In relation to the acceptance criteria and corrective actions program elements, Enhancement 5 of the Fatigue Monitoring Program is to update the program governing procedure to add an additional acceptance criterion associated with high energy line break (HELB) cumulative usage factor (CUF) criteria. This enhancement is applied only to St. Lucie Unit 2 and is related to the HELB analyses addressed in SLRA Section 4.3.4. The enhancement does not clearly define the additional acceptance criterion associated with the HELB CUF. In addition, the enhancement does not clearly address any additional corrective actions that may need to be performed beyond the actions specified in the corrective actions program element if the additional criterion associated with the HELB CUF is not met.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA Fatigue Monitoring Program provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the description provided in the GALL-SLR Report.
SLRA AMP B2.2.2, Neutron Fluence Monitoring Program Summary of Information in the Application. The SLRA states that AMP B.2.2.2, Neutron Fluence Monitoring, is an existing program with enhancements that will be consistent with the program elements in GALL-SLR Report AMP X.M2, Neutron Fluence Monitoring, as modified by SLR-ISG-MECHANICAL-2021-02-MECHANICAL, Updated Aging Management Criteria for Mechanical Portions of Subsequent License Renewal Guidance, (ADAMS Accession Number ML20181A434). To verify this claim of consistency, the staff audited the SLRA AMP. During the audit, the staff also reviewed the enhancements associated with this AMP. The staff will document its review of the enhancements in the SER.
Audit Activities. During its audit, the staff reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by FPL via the ePortal. The table below lists documents that were reviewed by the staff and were found relevant to the program. The staff will document its review of this information in the SER.

During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
The staff noted that St. Lucie, Units 1 and 2 primary loop coolant systems have elbows and straight piping made of centrifugally cast A-351 grade CF8A material that are thermally aged during service. The applicant used GALL-SLR screening criteria based on the molybdenum content, casting method, and ferrite content to assess the susceptibility of cast elbow and pipe components at St. Lucie to thermal aging embrittlement. The applicant has chosen a plant-specific flaw tolerance evaluation to demonstrate that the thermally-embrittled CASS material has tolerance for large flaws.
As part of the original license renewal application, the applicant performed a baseline ultrasonic examination of the CASS components (i.e., surge line, safety injection nozzle safe-end, reactor coolant pump suction and discharge safe-end locations) susceptible to thermal aging embrittlement. The result of the applicants baseline volumetric examinations completed for Unit 1 in 2015 and Unit 2 in 2017 revealed no crack like indications that exceed the initial postulated flaw size of 25 percent through-wall thickness assumed in the flaw tolerance evaluation.
The staff noted that the applicant utilized NUREG-4513, revisions 1 and 2 for the fracture toughness correlation, and the results were compared. During the staffs interview of the applicants staff, the applicant confirmed that (a) it is aware of the errata issued by the NRC in 2021 for NUREG-4513, revision 2 (ML16145A082), and (b) it used the correct symbols (i.e., the errata corrected the symbols from 15 effective full-power years (EFPY) to read 15 EFPY for CF8M materials) in its flaw tolerance evaluation.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA Thermal Aging Embrittlement of CASS provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the description provided in the GALL-SLR report.
If further information is needed to complete the staffs SE input, the staff will consider issuing RAIs.
SLRA AMP B2.3.7, Reactor Vessel Internals Summary of Technical Information in the Application. The SLRA states that the AMP in SLRA appendix B, section B2.3.7, Reactor Vessel Internals (SLRA pages B B-74) is an existing program that, with enhancements, will be consistent with the program elements in GALL-SLR report AMP XI.M16A, PWR Vessel Internals, as updated in NRC Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) No. SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI. To verify this claim of consistency, the staff audited the SLRA AMP. During the audit, the staff also reviewed the enhancements associated with this AMP. The staff will document its review of the enhancement in the SER. At the time of the audit, the applicant had not yet fully developed the documents necessary to implement this enhanced program. The staffs audit only addressed the status of the applicants AMP (as modified by the results of applicants gap analysis defined in SLRA appendix C) prior to incorporation of the program elements of the AMP into the implementation procedures for the AMP. The staff will address issues identified but not resolved in this audit report or more complex RVI management issues (including the gap analysis result impacts on the inspection and evaluation [I&E] protocols of the AMP) in the SER.
Appropriate Background Information. The applicants AMP is defined as a living, risk-informed, sampling-based condition monitoring program (i.e., augmented I&E program) that is based on the latest staff-approved version of EPRI Materials Reliability Program (MRP) report MRP-227, Revision 1-A, and any industry supplemental guidelines issued and used to supersede or supplement the I&E guidelines in MRP-227. The applicant implements the program in accordance with the industry initiative protocols in the applicable version of NEI Report No. NEI
03-08, Guideline for the Management of Materials Issues, used for the CLB and the implementation of the guidance in chapter 7 of the current version of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, being used for the AMP.
For Combustion Engineering Company (CE)-designed reactors like the units at St. Lucie Station, the program places each RVI component into one of the four EPRI MRP-defined inspection categories (as defined in Section 1) [page 1-2] of the applicable MRR-227 version used for the AMP. The programmatic inspection-categorization of each component is based on a number of risk-informed assessment factors including (but not necessarily limited to): (1) failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis of the component, (2) a component-specific susceptibility assessment of the components material of fabrication to those aging mechanisms that are defined in section 3.2 of the applicable MRP-227 version used for the AMP; and (3) a functionality assessment of the intended function(s) of the component, and whether failure of component would impact those intended function(s) or the intended function(s) of another component that serves a safety related function for the facility, as defined in 10 CFR 54.4.
The guidelines in chapter 2 and the flowcharts in figures 2-1 and 2-2 of the applicable MRP-227 version define how these assessments interact with one another and factor in the final EPRI MRP risk-informed inspection-categorization for a specified RVI component in the St. Lucie reactor unit designs. The result of this four-step sample selection process is a set of Primary category RVI components in the units that are inspected because they are expected to be the leading component locations for potential initiation and growth of the age-related degradation effects, with another set of Expansion category internals component locations that are specified for either inspections or evaluations should the indications of aging in the linked Primary component type be more severe than anticipated. The degradation effects in a third set of internals locations are deemed to be adequately managed by Existing Programs, such as American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code),
section XI, Examination Category B-N-3, examinations of core support structures. A fourth set of internals locations are deemed to require no aging management activities for the subsequent period of extended operation and are placed No Additional Measures category for the program.
The applicant addresses its component-specific categorization bases in the AMP, where the bases for the categorizations and the results of the categorizations are defined in either MRP-227, revision 1-A, or else as updated in the RVI gap analysis for AMP (as provided in SLRA appendix C) for components with programmatic I&E criteria that required adjustments from those defined for the component type in MRP-227, revision 1-A based on 80-year assessment considerations.
Audit Activities. During the audit, the staff reviewed the applicants AMP and the SLRAs gap analysis basis for categorizing placing each of the RVI components into the Primary, Expansion, Existing Programs, or NAM category of the AMP. The staff interviewed the applicants personnel and reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by the applicant via the ePortal. For the OpE review, the applicant made a presentation on the process used to identify and evaluate the pertinent OpE. Afterwards, the staff conducted its review of the applicants methodology and OpE by reviewing documentation contained in the SLRA and ePortal.

02235785 Fleet Review of MRP 2017-024 Clevis Insert Bolt OpE, ICES # 416600 11/09 and 10/2017 During the audit, the staff verified that applicants claim that the scope of program, preventive actions, parameters monitored or inspected, and corrective actions program elements are consistent with the corresponding program elements in GALL-SLR AMP XI.M16A, PWR Vessel Internals, as updated appendix D in NRC ISG Document No. SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations (StaffOb - Topic in the bullet title) or the applicant made the following clarifications (AppCl - Topic in the bullet title) in regard to program element aspects of the AMP:
AppCl - Plant Record Containing the Formal Gap Analysis. The applicant clarified that the formal RVI gap analysis used for the AMP is given in EPRI Letter No. MRP 2018-022.
StaffOb - Version of NEI 03-08 Applied to the AMP. The staff observed that the applicant uses NEI 03-08, Revision 3 as the applicable NEI 03-08 version for implementing its RVIs Program. The staff observed that the NRC does not have any restrictions of the version of NEI 03-08 being applied for the program.
StaffOb - NextEra Energy AR No. 02299052; Version of MRP-228 Inspection Standard Applied to the AMP. The staff observed that, consistent with EPRI MRP Interim Guidance No. MRP 2019-001 and NextEra Energy AR No. 02299052, the applicant is applying the methodology in EPRI Proprietary report no. 3002010399 (MRP-228, Revision 3) as the nondestructive examination (NDE) standard for visual or volumetric inspections performed in accordance with the program; a publicly available, redacted version of this EPRI report is available at. ML19081A058.
StaffOb - Confirmation of SLRA Appendix C Gap Analysis Adjustments to the AMP. The staff observed that SLRA Appendix C makes the following adjustments of the MRP-227, Rev. 1-A programmatic bases for the AMP:
Core support barrel (CSB) assembly tie rod criteria; core stabilizing lug and lug shim bolt criteria. The gap analysis adjusts the AMP to establish the CSB assembly tie rods and the core stabilizing lugs and lug shim bolts as Primary category components for the program that will be implemented during the subsequent period of extended operation; Primary category basis calls for baseline VT-3 visual inspections of the components no later than 2 refueling outages from the beginning of the subsequent period of extended operation, with subsequent VT-3 examinations of the tie rods during every refueling outage. The staff observed that, for the adjusted 80-year basis, the CSB tie rods screen in for mechanisms of irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC), fatigue, wear, void swelling (VS; distortion), irradiation embrittlement (IE), and irradiation-enhanced stress relaxation or creep (ISR/IC); the staff observed that the referenced lugs and lug shim bolts screen in for the mechanisms of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and wear. The staff
did not identify any potential issues with the SLRA gap analysis programmatic bases for the CSB tie rods or the core stabilizing lugs and lug shim bolts.
CSB middle girth weld (MGW), middle axial weld (MAW), lower axial weld (LAW) criteria and lower support structure (LSS) core support column criteria. The gap analysis adjusts the AMP to elevate the CSB MGW in each unit from an Expansion category for the 60-year version of the program to a Primary category component upon entry into the subsequent period of expended operation for the 80-year version of the program. When triggered, the updated basis for the program calls for the applicant to perform visual EVT-1 inspections of the CSB MAWs and LAWs and the core support plates no later than two refueling outages from the beginning of the first license renewal period, with subsequent EVT-1 visual inspections of the CSB MAWs and LAWs (and the core support columns) to be performed on an augmented, 10-year re-inspection interval basis. For the adjusted 80-year basis, the CSB LAWs screen in the aging mechanisms of SCC, IASCC, and IE. The staff did not identify any potential issues with the SLRA gap analysis programmatic bases for the CSB MGWs, MAWs, and LAWS or the LSS core support columns.
Core shroud assembly criteria. The gap analysis adjusts the AMP to establish that the core shroud assembly (for the applicable welded shroud design in two vertical sections) is a Primary category component for the AMP that will be implemented during the subsequent period of extended operation. The staff noted that the updated basis for the program calls for the applicant to perform visual VT-1 inspections of 100 percent of the horizontal weld seam between the upper and lower shroud segments no later than two refueling outages from the beginning of the first license renewal period, with subsequent VT-1 visual inspections of the seam welds to be performed on an augmented, 10-year re-inspection interval basis. For the adjusted 80-year basis, the core shroud assembly screens in for the aging mechanisms of void swelling/distortion and IE; there are no linked Expansion category components for the Primary category core shroud assembly seam welds.
The staff noted that gap analysis-adjusted program does not include any linked Expansion category components for the core shroud assembly horizontal seam weld examinations. The staff did not identify any potential issues with the SLRA gap analysis programmatic bases for the core shroud assembly. The staff will summarize this gap analysis basis in the SER section for this AMP.
StaffOb - Augmented Inspection Criteria for CSB flexure weld. Observed that in items C7 of table 4-2 in the MRP-227, Rev. 1-A, the EPRI MRP identifies that the CSB flexure welds are to be designated as Primary category components for the program if screening of fatigue and SCC cannot be satisfied by plant-specific evaluation. If fatigue or SCC cannot be screened out by plant-specific evaluation, the EPRI calls for the CSB flexure weld to be inspected using a EVT-1 visual examination no later than two refueling outages from the license renewal period, with subsequent EVT-1 examinations to be performed on a 10-year augmented re-inspection basis. The EPRI MRP does not designate any linked Expansion category components for CSB flexure welds.
The staff observed that the information in MRP-2018 022 and the program basis document in Enercon report no. NEESL00008-REPT-045, Revision 0 did not provide sufficient supporting information to support whether the CSB flexure weld in each unit
was being established as a Primary category component for the 80-year version of the program. The staff may address this informational gap through consideration of an RAI.
StaffOb - Augmented Inspection Criteria for core support plate in the LSS. The staff observed that in item C9 of table 4-2 in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, the EPRI MRP identifies that the LSS core support plate in each unit is to be designated as a Primary category component for the program if screening of fatigue cannot be satisfied by plant-specific evaluation. If consideration of fatigue cannot be screened out by plant-specific evaluation, the EPRI calls for the LSS core support plate to be inspected using a EVT-1 visual examination no later than two refueling outages from the license renewal period, with subsequent EVT-1 examinations to be performed on a 10-year augmented re-inspection basis. The EPRI MRP does not designate any linked Expansion category components for LSS core support plates.
The staff observed that the information in MRP-2018 022 and the program basis document in Enercon report no. NEESL00008-REPT-045, revision 0 did not provide sufficient supporting information to support whether the LSS core support plate in each unit was being established as a Primary category component for the 80-year version of the program. The staff may address this informational gap through consideration of an RAI.
StaffOb - Augmented Inspection Criteria for the upper internals assembly (UIA) fuel alignment plates. The gap analysis for the AMP establishes the UIA fuel alignment plates of the units as a linked Expansion category components (i.e., in addition to the CSB lower axial welds [LAWs]) for the programmatic inspections that will be performed on the Primary category CSB MGWs during the subsequent period of extended operation. The staff noted that, upon entry into the subsequent period of extended operation, the revised Expansion category basis calls for expansion-based visual EVT-1 inspections of the UIA fuel alignment if evidence of a confirmed crack exceeding two inches in length is detected in the CSB MGW. The staff also noted that, in item C10 of Table 4-2 in MRP-227, Rev. 1-A report, the EPRI MRP designates the UIA fuel alignment plate as a Primary category component for the program if component-specific screening for fatigue cannot be satisfied by a plant-specific evaluation. Thus, the staff determined the staff would need further reconciliation on the inspection category and potential inspection criteria for the UIA fuel alignment plate in each of the units. The staff may address this informational gap through consideration of an RAI.
During the audit of program, the staff audited relevant plant-specific, and generic OpE related to program. The staff did not identify any aging effects or mechanisms outside of the those already identified for the AMP in the parameters monitored or inspected program element for the AMP.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations (StaffOb(s) - Topic in the bullet title) or the applicant made the following clarifications (AppCl - Topic in the bullet title) in regard to OpE that applies to the program:
StaffOb - NextEra Energy AR QA Record Nos. 02255865, 0000290891, 02320810, and 02333990; EPRI MRP Biennial Reports. The staff observed that EPRI Biennial Report No. MRP 2020-015 (ML20229A000) provides a summary of the applicants base line inspections that were applied to the Primary Category RVI components (including the
core shroud plate-to-former plate weld with noted flaw indications) and to the Expansion Category CSB MAWs with noted flaw indications) in year 2018. The staff noted that, collectively, the referenced AR QA records address the applicants activities to record and evaluate relevant flaw indications detected in some of the CSB MAWs, LAWs and lower girth weld, and the core shroud upper flange weld of St. Lucie Unit 1 and in 2018, and that the analyses in Westinghouse Proprietary Letter and Analysis No. LTR-AMLR-18-22 and Westinghouse Proprietary Report No. WCAP-18452, Revision 1 provide the supporting evaluations of degradation detected in the components.
The staff also observed that, collectively, these records support re-inspections of the Unit 1 CSB assembly welds and core shroud welds contained in these indications on a 10-Year augmented re-inspection basis and that the applicants treatment and basis for managing age-related degradation in the structural welds is conservative. The staff noted that the application provides sufficient explanations and justifications on the inspection categories and future inspection needs for the welds in the gap analysis for the AMP in SLRA appendix C. The staff will provide its evaluation of the OpE associated with the Unit 1 CSB welds and core shroud welds in the SER section for this AMP.
StaffOb - NextEra Energy AR No. 02321810. The staff observed that this AR provides the applicants bases for implementing the EPRI MRP good practices in MRP 2019-009 for a one-time inspection of the Unit 1 CSB assembly; the staff noted that this is in addition to the applicants basis for reinspecting known CSB welds and core shroud welds with known flaw indications, as summarized in the observations for the previous CSB and core shroud weld experience. The staff will provide its evaluation of the OpE associated with the CSB welds and core shroud welds in the SER section for this AMP.
StaffOb - NextEra Energy AR QA record nos. 02256078 and 02256266 and AR record no 02357503. The staff observed that, per these records, the applicant conservatively addresses wear-type OpE indications that were detected in some of the core stabilizer lugs. The staff noted that the record shows that the wear in the lugs appears to be a result of surface damage. However, under the gap analysis of the program, the applicant is conservatively elevating the core stabilizer lugs as new Primary category components for VT-3 type visual inspections during the subsequent period of extended operation, with inspections to be performed on a 10-year basis. The staff did not identify any issues or information gaps in regard to the records or with the applicants treatment and assessment of the relevant OpE. The staff will evaluate the core stabilizing lug experience in the SER section for this AMP.
StaffOb - Applicability of EPRI Interim Guidance MRP 2019-002. The staff observed that the interim guidance in MRP 2019-002 for applying the EPRI MRP-227, Revision 1-A I&E protocols under flexible plant operations do not need to be applied to the St. Lucie design basis for the program. The staff noted that the information in NextEra Energy AR No. 02308972 provides confirmation that the St. Lucie units operate under base-load operations, which is consistent with the plant operating assumptions in chapter 1 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The staff did not identify any issues or information gaps in regard to the contents of this record or with the applicants treatment and application of this record. The staff will note the unit-specific base load operations as part of the OpE evaluation in the SER section for this AMP.
StaffOb - NextEra Energy AR No. 02350217. The staff observed that this record provides the applicants basis updating the I&E criteria of the program to those that are defined in EPRI report MRP-227, Revision1-A. The staff did not identify any issues or information gaps in regard to the contents of this record or with the applicants treatment and application of this record.
The staff will evaluate the identified plant-specific OpE in the SER section for the AMP.
The staff also audited the UFSAR supplement summary description of the SLR AMP provided in SLRA section 19.2.2.7, RVIs. The staff verified this description is consistent with the description provided in the GALL-SLR table XI-01 for PWR vessel internals programs.
During the audit, the staff noted that, in the May 2, 2018, SE for the 60-year inspection plan (as defined in Engineering Evaluation No. PSL-ENG-LRAM-15-002, Revision 6), the staff included the following statement in the conclusion section of the SE:
The licensee must follow the implementation requirements as defined in Section 7.0 of MRP-227-A, which require that the NRC be notified of any deviations from the Needed requirements.
StaffOb. The staff observed that this SE statement was in conflict with License Condition Clause 3.C in Renewed Operating License Nos. DPR-67 and NPF-16 (for St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, respectively). The staff will address this matter in the UFSAR supplement subsection of SER section for this AMP.
SLRA AMP B2.3.8, Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Summary of Information in the Application. Section B2.3.8 of the SLRA states that the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion AMP is an existing program with enhancements that will be consistent with the program elements in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.M17, Flow-Accelerated Corrosion. To verify the programs consistency, the staff audited the SLRA AMP and reviewed the associated enhancements. The staff will document its review of the applicants enhancements to the program in the SER. At the time of the audit, the applicant had not yet revised the procedures to implement the programs enhancements. Consequently, the staffs audit only included the applicants program basis document, available procedures, and referenced documents. Issues identified but not resolved in this report will be addressed in the SER.
Audit Activities. During the audit, the staff interviewed the applicants staff and reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by the applicant through its ePortal. For the OpE review, the applicant explained the process used to identify and evaluate pertinent OpE.
The staff evaluated the applicants methodology and reviewed the OpE documentation contained in the SLRA and ePortal. In addition, the applicant provided the results of separate OpE searches of the plant-specific database using keywords of cavitation, erode, erosion, and impinge.
The table below lists documents reviewed by the staff and found relevant to the program. The staff will document its review of this information in the SER.

In addition, the staff found that for the preventative actions, detection of aging effects, and corrective actions program elements, sufficient information was not available to verify whether they were consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP.
The staff will consider issuing RAIs in order to obtain the information necessary to verify whether these program elements are consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
The staff noted that the ASME XI, Subsection IWE program provides an enhancement to preventative actions of the storage and lubricants discussed in Section 2 of the Research Council for Structural Connections (RCSC) publication for structural bolting consisting of ASTM A325, ASTM A490, and equivalent materials. However, it does not appear that AMP includes an enhancement of preventative actions for bolting and coating material selection discussed in section 2 of RCSC publication.
The staff noted a discrepancy between AMR item 3.5.1-027 and SLRA section B.2.3.29 regarding which AMP will manage cyclic loading in metal plates and penetrations that have no current licensing basis fatigue analysis.
The staff noted in the SLRA section B.2.3.29 enhancement to Element 4 detection of aging effects that there is not sufficient information for methods used for detecting cracking and how they can detect cracking in steel, SS, and dissimilar metal weld pressure-retaining components that are subject to cyclic loading but have no CLB fatigue analysis.
The staff noted in SLRA section B.2.3.29 enhancement to Element 4 detection of aging effects that procedures will be revised to specify a one-time volumetric examination of metal shell surfaces that are inaccessible from one side if triggered by plant-specific OpE identified after the date of issuance of the first renewed license for each unit.
However, it is unclear whether each unit will be subject to the volumetric examination if the triggering OpE occurs in any one unit, or if the examination will be conducted only in the unit in which the triggering OpE occurred, or some other treatment.
The staff noted in SLRA section B.2.3.29 that acceptability of inaccessible areas of steel containment vessel is evaluated when conditions found in accessible areas indicate the presence of, or could result in, flaws or degradation in inaccessible areas. However, the staff could not locate acceptability of inaccessible areas of steel containment vessel in the procedure NDE-4.7, revision 5.
The staff noted that SLRA section 3.5.2.2.1.3 does not have information whether the concrete meets the requirements of ACI 318 or ACI 349 as cited in NUREG-1557 and guidance of ACI 201.2R, as applicable; how the concrete is monitored to ensure that it is free of penetration cracks that provide a path for water seepage to the surface of the containment shell or liner; and how OpE (the borated water spills and water ponding on the concrete floor) is addressed.
The staff noted a discrepancy between AMR item 3.5.1-010 and SLRA section 3.5.2.2.1.6 regarding which AMP will manage cracking due to SCC.
The staff also audited the description of the ASME section XI, subsection IWE program provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the description provided in the GALL-SLR report.
SLRA AMP B2.3.30, ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Summary of Information in the Application. The SLRA states that AMP B2.3.30, ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF, is an existing program with enhancements and exceptions that will be consistent with the program elements in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.S3, ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF. To verify this claim of consistency, the staff audited the SLRA AMP. During the audit, the staff also reviewed the exceptions and enhancements associated with this AMP.
The staff will document its review of the exceptions to the GALL-SLR report AMP and the enhancements in the SER. The staff will address issues identified in this audit report in the SER.
Audit Activities. During its audit, the staff interviewed the applicants staff and reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by the applicant via the ePortal. For the OpE review, the applicant made a presentation on the process used to identify and evaluate the pertinent OpE. Afterwards, the staff conducted its review of the applicants methodology and OpE by reviewing documentation contained in the SLRA and ePortal.

In addition, the staff found that for the scope of program, preventive actions, parameters monitored or inspected, detection of aging effects, and acceptance criteria program elements, sufficient information was not available to determine whether they were consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR report AMP. The staff will consider issuing RAIs, RCIs or use a voluntary supplement to obtain the information necessary to verify whether these program elements, or aspects of these program elements not associated with the exceptions identified in the SLRA, are consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR report AMP.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
The staff reviewed Maintenance Procedure 0-GMM-99.17, revision 9, and noted that the approved lubricants for threaded fasteners at PSL are Neolube for stainless steel and Fel Pro N-5000 for carbon and alloy steel.
The staff reviewed section 4.10 Operating Experience of the program basis document (PBD) NEESL00008-REPT-058 and noted that it included discussion of more specific examples (than in SLRA) of plant-specific OpE (action requests or ARs) of component supports from the applicants CAP. The staff verified during the OpE audit that these examples provided objective evidence of the program adequately managing the identified effects of aging.
The staff noted a lack of clarity in the justification provided in the SLRA with regard to inspection of Class MC component supports not being included in the scope of the IWF AMP.
The staff noted a lack of clarity on the adequacy of SLRAB2.3.30 enhancement 3 to make the preventive actions program element of the SLRA AMP consistent, as claimed, with the corresponding program element of GALL-SLR AMP XI.S3 specifically with regard to preventive actions for lubricant selection, and bolting and coating material selection for ASTM A325, A490, and equivalent bolts.
The staff reviewed the PBD and noted that there was a lack of clarity on why vibration isolation elements are not included with the scope of the SLRA IWF AMP; therefore, the staff needs additional information to verify consistency of associated SLRA AMP program elements regarding aging management of vibration isolation elements.
The staff noted a lack of clarity how PSL procedures prohibits the use of molybdenum disulfide and other lubricants containing sulfur as a preventive measure to reduce SCC of high strength bolting during the subsequent period of extended operation, as claimed in the SLRA.
The staff noted that the SLRA IWF AMP was credited for identifying visible indications of loss of fracture toughness due to IE of the reactor vessel supports. However, while SLRA table 3.5.2-1 included an AMR line item for the above, it is not clear to the staff whether the existing procedures or program elements would be sufficient to identify visible indications of loss of fracture toughness in the field.
The staff noted discrepancies in SLRA table 3.5-1 regarding AMR items 3.5-1, 085 and 3.5-1, 090 which were indicated as not used instead of not applicable since the environment (treated borated water) for these line items in the GALL-SLR Report does not exist at PSL.
The staff noted a discrepancy in SLRA table 3.5-1 regarding AMR item 3.5-1, 081 which should have stated that item 3.5-1, 081 is not used and item 3.5-1, 091 is used instead.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF AMP provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff found that sufficient information was not available to determine whether the description provided in the UFSAR supplement was an adequate summary description of the SLRA AMP ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF. The staff will consider issuing an RAI, or use a voluntary supplement by the applicant, in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the UFSAR supplement program description.
SLRA AMP B2.3.31, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Summary of Information in the Application. The SLRA states that AMP B2.3.31, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, is an existing program that is consistent with the program elements in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.S4, 10 CFR Part 50, appendix J. To verify this claim of consistency, the staff audited the SLRA AMP.
Audit Activities. During the audit, the staff interviewed the applicants staff and reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by the applicant via the ePortal. For the OpE review, the applicant made a presentation on the process used to identify and evaluate the pertinent OpE. Afterwards, the staff conducted its review of the applicants methodology and OpE by reviewing documentation contained in the SLRA and ePortal.

In addition, the staff found that for the scope of program, preventive actions, parameters monitored or inspected, detection of aging effects, monitoring and trending, and acceptance criteria program elements, sufficient information was not available to determine whether they were consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP. The staff will consider issuing RAIs in order to obtain the information necessary to verify whether these program elements are consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
During the review of procedure ADM-17.32, the staff noted that the current procedure does not include some of the structures and components credited in SLRA section 2.1.4.2.1 as within the scope of the Structures Monitoring program.
The staff noted that procedure ADM-17.32 does not address cracking as a parameter to be monitored or inspected for elastomeric material.
During the review of procedure ADM-17.32, the staff noted that the current program does not clearly define the parameters to be monitored or inspected for structural bolting.
During the review of procedure ADM-17.32, the staff noted that the current procedure does not include the parameters to be monitored or inspected for concrete degradations due to ASR. The staff also noted that SLRA sections 3.5.2.2.1.8, 3.5.2.2.2.1.2, and 3.5.2.2.2.3.2 stated that this was already addressed within Structures Monitoring program.
During the review of the structural deficiency reports for the Structures Monitoring program, the staff noted that several structures were identified as having a cracking/craze patterns that were dispositioned as acceptable without further details.
During the review of the structural deficiency reports for the Structures Monitoring program, the staff noted that several structures and components were identified as having corrosion related degradations at different levels.
During its audit, the staff also performed walkdowns of yard structures, turbine building, CST enclosure, fuel handling building (exterior), reactor building (exterior), RAB (exterior), and emergency diesel generator building (exterior), and shoreline embankment.
The staff made the following observations during walkdowns:
During the walkdown of the structures from the outside, the staff noted the ongoing corrosion, at different levels, of several structural and mechanical components and supports exposed to an outdoor-air environment.
During the walkdown of the Turbine Building and RAB, the staff noted the pattern cracking or crazed concrete cracking on the top of concrete roof slab.
During the walkdown of the structures and components within the scope of subsequent license renewal, the staff noted the degradations observed during the walkdowns were found to be consistent with the OpE for which the GALL-SLR report program was evaluated.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA Structures Monitoring program provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff found that sufficient information was not available to determine whether the description provided in the UFSAR supplement was an adequate description of the SLRA Structures Monitoring Program. The staff will consider issuing an RAI in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the UFSAR supplement program description.

WO 40428443 Various Concrete Locations with Cracks, Spalls, Pop-outs for AR 02081678 11/18/2015 During the audit, the staff verified the applicants claim that the monitoring and trending, and corrective actions program elements of the SLRA AMP are consistent with the corresponding elements of the GALL-SLR report AMP.
During the audit, the staff identified exceptions associated with the detection of aging effects program element.
In addition, the staff found that for the scope of program, preventative actions, parameters monitored or inspected, detection of aging effects, and acceptance criteria program elements, sufficient information was not available to verify whether they were consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP. The staff will consider issuing RAIs in order to obtain the information necessary to verify whether these program elements are consistent with the corresponding program elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
The staff noted in plant procedure ADM-17.32, Structures Monitoring Program, Revision 7 that normally submerged areas of the intake wells will be completed once every fourth refueling outage (approximately six years) when individual wells are dewatered for maintenance. It appears to be an exception associated with the detection of aging effects program element in the Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants program.
The staff noted that the Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants program provides an enhancement to preventative actions for the use of high strength bolt storage requirements. However, it does not appear that AMP includes an enhancement of preventative actions for proper selection of bolting material and lubricants, and appropriate installation torque or tension to prevent or minimize loss of ASTM A325 and/or ASTM A490 bolts, lubricant selection, and bolting and coating material selection discussed in section 2 of Research Council for Structural Connections.
The staff also noted that AMP basis document and plant procedure ADM-17.32 lack the information of parameter monitored or inspected and acceptance criteria for the cooling canals, earthen canal dikes, and steel sheet piles.
The staff noted that the AMP does not address the aggressive groundwater/soil environment and does not describe what plant-specific actions will be implemented within the AMP to ensure and demonstrate that the AMP will adequately manage degradations for inaccessible areas exposed to an aggressive water/soil environment.
The staff further noted that SLRA sections B.2.3.34, 2.4.8, 2.4.9, and 2.4.14 call out different names for water-control structures within the scope of SLR, which require the applicant to clarify the scope of program.
The staff made the following observations during walkdowns:
During the walkdown of Unit 1 and Unit 2 intake structures and ultimate heat sink dam, the staff noted that the degradations observed during the walkdowns were found to be consistent with the OpE for which the GALL-SLR report program was evaluated.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants program provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff
found that sufficient information was not available to determine whether the description provided in the UFSAR supplement was an adequate description of the SLRA Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants program. The staff will consider issuing an RAI in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the UFSAR supplement program description.
SLRA AMP B2.3.35, Protective Coating Monitoring and Maintenance Summary of Information in the Application. The SLRA states that AMP B2.3.35, Protective Coating Monitoring and Maintenance, is an existing program that, with enhancements, will be consistent with NUREG-2191,Section XI.S8, Protective Coating Monitoring and Maintenance as modified by SLR-ISG-2021-03-STRUCTURES, Updated Aging Management Criteria for Structures Portions of SLR Guidance (.

Revision 3 During the audit, the staff verified the applicants claim that the scope of program, preventive actions, parameters monitored or inspected, detection of aging effects, monitoring and trending, acceptance criteria, and corrective actions program elements of the SLRA AMP are consistent with the corresponding elements of the GALL-SLR Report AMP as modified by SLR-ISG202104-ELECTRICAL.
As indicated above, the applicant noted in the SLRA that AMP B2.3.38 will be consistent with the program elements in GALL-SLR Report AMP XI.E3A as modified by SLR-ISG202104-ELECTRICAL. However, based on its review of the SLRA, the staff found that the language in AMP B2.3.38 is not consistent with SLR-ISG202104-ELECTRICAL as certain terms such as potentially are not included within SLRA AMPB2.3.38. Based on this, during a breakout discussion the staff requested the applicant to explain the apparent deviations from SLR-
ISG202104-ELECTRICAL. In response to the staffs request, the applicant noted that it would review SLRA AMP B2.3.38 to ensure consistency with SLR-ISG202104-ELECTRICAL and provide a supplement to the SLRA if necessary. The staff will document its review of any supplemental information provided by the applicant in the SER.

However, the staff found that sufficient information was not available to complete its review of the applicants basis for its TLAA disposition. In order to obtain the necessary information, the staff will consider issuing RAIs.
SLRA Tables 4.3.1-1 and 4.3.1-2 describe the design transients for St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, respectively. These tables indicate that some transients will not be monitored in the Fatigue Monitoring Program (e.g., plant loading, five percent/minute and 10 percent step load increase transients). In addition, tables 1 and 2 of the Westinghouse LTR-SDA-II-20-32-NP report indicate that these design transients were excluded from cycle monitoring because the transients resulted in a fatigue usage less than 0.1 or large margins were present with respect to actual cycle counts versus allowable cycle limits. The staff found a need to clarify that the basis of excluding these transients from fatigue monitoring is valid for 80 years of operation (e.g., demonstration of the conservatism associated with the 80-year estimated cycles compared to the design cycles to confirm a large cycle margin).
As discussed above, SLRA tables 4.3.1-1 and 4.3.1-2 describe the 80-year projected cycles for the design transients of St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, respectively. These table do not include the bolt-up transient for the reactor vessel. In comparison, the following reference evaluates the design basis thermal cycles for the current licensing basis (
Reference:
SIR-01-102, revision 3, Thermal Cycle Evaluation for St. Lucie Units 1 and 2). This reference includes the bolt-up transient as a design transient. The SIR-01-102 report also explains that the transient is excluded from cycle counting based on a large cycle margin in the current licensing basis. The staff found a need for the applicant to clarify why SLRA tables 4.3.1-1 and 4.3.1-2 do not identify the bolt-up transient as a design transient in contrast with the SIR-01-102 report and the basis of excluding this transient from cycle counting for the 80-year operation.
SLRA section 4.3.1 states that the transients, which are included in the current Fatigue Monitoring program but not included in the original St. Lucie LRA, are presented in SLRA tables 4.3.1-3 and 4.3.1-4 for St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, respectively. SLRA tables 4.3.1-5 and 4.3.1-6 describe the 80-year projections for the additional transients (e.g., loss of letdown flow transient) that support the 80-year fatigue evaluations for St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, respectively. However, the SLRA does not clearly discuss whether the Fatigue Monitoring Program will monitor these additional transients.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA fatigue TLAA for Class 1 components provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the description provided in the SRP-SLR.
SLRA TLAA Section 4.3.2, Metal Fatigue of Non-Class Components Summary of Information in the Application. SLRA Section 4.3.2, Metal Fatigue of Non-Class 1 Components, discusses the fatigue analysis for non-Class 1 piping systems. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR54.21(c)(1)(ii) for the hot-leg sample lines and 10 CFR54.21(c)(1)(i) for the other non-Class 1 piping systems. To verify that the applicant provided a basis to support its disposition of the TLAA, the staff audited the TLAA.

During the audit of the TLAA, the staff verified that the applicant has provided its basis that supports its dispositions of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii) for the hot-leg sample lines and 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i) for the other non-Class 1 piping systems. However, the staff found that sufficient information was not available to complete its review of the applicants basis for its TLAA disposition. In order to obtain the necessary information, the staff will consider issuing an RAI.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations. The staff will consider issuing an RAI to address the potential concerns associated with these observations.
SLRA Table 4.3.3-2 indicates that the reactor coolant sampling line is subject to approximately 29200 cycles for 80 years of operation. Accordingly, the applicant used a stress range reduction factor of 0.7 for the sample lines, which allows thermal cycles up to 45000. However, the SLRA does not clearly discuss how the stress analysis for sample lines with the stress range reduction factor (0.7) meets a relevant acceptance criterion.
The staff found that sufficient information was not available to determine whether the description provided in the UFSAR supplement was an adequate description of the fatigue TLAA for the non-Class 1 components. The staff will consider issuing an RAI in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the UFSAR supplement description.
SLRA TLAA Section 4.3.3, Environmentally-Assisted Fatigue Summary of Information in the Application. SLRA Section 4.3.3, Environmentally-Assisted Fatigue, discusses the environmentally-assisted fatigue (EAF) for reactor coolant pressure boundary components.

However, the staff found that sufficient information was not available to complete its review of the applicants basis for its TLAA disposition. In order to obtain the necessary information, the staff will consider issuing RAIs.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations. The staff will consider issuing RAIs to address the potential concerns associated with these observations.
The Framatome 86-9329644-001 report summarizes the EAF analysis for St. Lucie Unit 2 replacement steam generators, Unit 1 and 2 replacement reactor vessel closure heads, Unit 2 pressurizer repairs, Unit 2 weld overlays and Unit 2 auxiliary spray line reducer
(
Reference:
Framatome Document Number 86-9329644-001, St. Lucie SLR CUFen Evaluations Summary, July 15, 2021). Table 5-2 of the Framatome report specifies the reduced cycles of the transients that are used in the environmental cumulative usage factor (CUFen) calculations, as reduced from the design cycles. Some of these transients, which involve reduced cycles, will not be monitored in the Fatigue Monitoring Program, as indicated in SLRA section 4.3.1. The staff found a need for the applicant to clarify the basis for excluding the transients with the reduced cycles from fatigue monitoring.
The staff also noted that the primary coolant pump starting/stopping transient (also designated as the DP transient) is used in the EAF analysis for the St. Lucie Unit 2 steam generator tube-to-tubesheet weld. However, SLRA section 4.3.1 and Framatome 86-9329644-001 report do not clearly address whether the pump transient for St. Lucie Unit 2 will be monitored in the Fatigue Monitoring Program. In addition, SLRA Section 4.3.1 and
Framatome report, tables 5-2 and 5-3 address pressurizer spray nozzle transients.
However, these tables do not clearly discuss whether the following transients, which involve reduced cycles in the CUFen calculations, will be monitored in the Fatigue Monitoring Program: (1) spray nozzle transient (also called the spray nozzle transient 17A/B/C); (2) main spray initiation transient; (3) auxiliary spray at power 1 and auxiliary spray at power 2 transients; and (4) main spray term in cooldown transient.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA EAF TLAA for reactor coolant pressure boundary components provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the description provided in the SRP-SLR.
SLRA TLAA Section 4.3.4, High Energy Line Break Analyses Summary of Information in the Application. SLRA section 4.3.4, High Energy Line Break Analyses, discusses the HELB TLAA for St. Lucie Unit 2 piping systems. The applicant dispositioned the HELB TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR54.21(c)(1)(iii) for the ASME Code Class 1 piping and in accordance with 10 CFR54.21(c)(1)(i) for the non-Class 1 piping.
To verify that the applicant provided a basis to support its disposition of the TLAA, the staff audited the TLAA. The staff will address issues identified but not resolved in this audit report in the SER.

However, the staff found that sufficient information was not available to complete its review of the applicants basis for its TLAA disposition. In order to obtain the necessary information, the staff will consider issuing an RAI.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations. The staff will consider issuing an RAI to address the potential concerns associated with these observations.
SLRA section 4.3.4 indicates that the postulation of HELB locations is, in part, based on the CUF criterion for class 1 piping (i.e., CUF greater than 0.1). However, the applicant did not
clearly address whether the 80-year operation may increase the CUF values at the class 1 piping locations above the CUF threshold of 0.1 for HELB postulation such that additional break locations may need to be evaluated in the HELB analysis.
The staff also audited the description of the SLRA HELB TLAA for reactor coolant pressure boundary components provided in the UFSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the description provided in the SRP-SLR.
SLRA TLAA Section 4.4, Environmental Qualification of Electric Equipment Summary of Information in the Application. SLRA Section 4.4, Environmental Qualifications (EQ) of Electrical Equipment, discusses the thermal, radiation, and cyclical aging analyses for the plant electrical and instrument and control (I&C) equipment.

Revision 9 During the audit of the TLAA, the staff verified that the applicant has provided its basis that supports its disposition of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii). The staff notes that the applicant generated AR 02388818 to evaluate whether the recent revision to EPRI NP1558, A Review of Equipment Aging Theory and Technology, has any adverse effects on the qualification of electric equipment at St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (specifically related to the activation energy used to determine the qualification of components). The staff finds that this corrective action should be adequate to ensure the continued environmental qualification of electric equipment is within the scope of this TLAA.
The staff also audited the descriptions of SLRA sections 19.2.1.3, Environmental Qualification of Electric Equipment, and 19.3.4, Environmental Qualification of Electric Equipment, of appendixes A1, Unit 1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement, and A2, Unit 2
Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement. The staff verified that the descriptions are consistent with the descriptions provided in the SRP-SLR Report.

During the audit of the TLAA, the staff verified that the applicant has provided its basis that supports its disposition of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i). However, the staff found that sufficient information was not available to complete its review of the applicants basis for its TLAA disposition. In order to obtain the necessary information, the staff will consider issuing RAIs during the audit.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
The staff noted that SLRA section 4.6 (Penetrations Fatigue) cited NUREG-1779 as the technical input information source for the TLAA, which is the NRC staffs SER related to the license renewal of St Lucie Nuclear Plant and not a CLB document for St Lucie.
Therefore, it was not clear what the source of input cycles stated above is that was used for the TLAA for fatigue of containment penetrations. It was also not clear whether the containment penetrations fatigue applies to only containment piping (mechanical) penetrations.
The staff noted that SLRA Section 4.6 (Penetrations Fatigue - Type I through Type IV) lacked clarity with regard to: (i) what type of fatigue analysis (e.g., CUF, fatigue waiver, implicit) was performed for the containment penetrations and what fatigue parameter (e.g., CUF, fatigue waiver parameters, cracking) was evaluated against what acceptance criteria; (ii) what is the expected number of cycles of the transient considered in the design for 80 years of operation to justify that the cycles considered in the design are bounding for SPEO; and (iii) the justification for the conclusion that the fatigue analysis for the referenced penetrations is bounded by that of the associated piping systems,
especially considering that their design criteria and codes of record are different. Further, the statement regarding being bounded also appears to be contradictory to a related statement in SLRA section 3.5.2.2.1.5 that fatigue waiver analyses were performed on mechanical penetrations.
The staff noted that SLRA table 3.5.2-1 does not include AMR line item(s) corresponding to table 3.5-1, item 3.5-1, 009 for the containment vessel. The staff also noted that SLRA table 3.5-1, item 3.5-1, 027 included a contradictory statement that a fatigue analysis was not performed for the containment vessel, which appears to be an error.
The staff also audited the descriptions of the SLRA TLAA Containment Liner Plate, Metal Containments and Penetrations Fatigue provided in the UFSAR supplement in section 19.3.5 of SLRA appendices A1 and A2. The staff found that sufficient information was not available to determine whether the description provided in the UFSAR supplement was an adequate description of the SLRA TLAA Containment Liner Plate, Metal Containments and Penetrations Fatigue. The staff will consider issuing an RAI and/or use a voluntary SLRA supplement offered by the applicant during the audit in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the UFSAR supplement descriptions.
SLRA TLAA Section 4.7.1, Leak-Before-Break of Reactor Coolant System Piping Summary of Information in the Application. SLRA section 4.7.1, Leak-Before-Break of Reactor Coolant System Piping, discusses the leak-before-break (LBB) analysis for the reactor coolant system piping. St. Lucie dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii). To verify that St. Lucie provided a basis to support its disposition of the TLAA, the staff audited the TLAA. The staff will address issues identified but not resolved in this report in the SER.
Audit Activities. During its audit, the staff interviewed the applicants staff and reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by the applicant via the ePortal.

Revision 05, 10/23/1985 During the audit, the staff observed the following:
The staff observed that, in the SLRA, the applicant manages applicable aging effects in the CSB assembly components as part of the applicants SLRA bases for implementing its RVIs Program, which the SLRA states is an Existing AMP for the facility (SLRA AMP B2.3.7). However, the staff also observed that the applicant is not crediting its RVIs AMP for management of loss of preload due to irradiation-assisted stress relaxation or creep in the installed Unit 1 CSB repair plugs and support lug patches. The staff observed that, instead, the applicant is using the Unit 1 CSB Repair TLAA in section 4.7.3 of the SLRA as the basis for managing this aging effect in these components. The staff notes that section 1.2.1 of NUREG-2192, Standard Review Plan for Review of Subsequent License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants, indicates that TLAAs may be used as an alternative option (i.e., in lieu of using an AMP or defined aging management activities) for managing the aging effects in accordance with the requirements in 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3) and thus finds this approach acceptable.
The staff observed that SLRA section 4.7.3 states that the applicant installed the Unit 1 CSB repair plugs and patches as part of the past corrective actions for resolving degradation in CSB assembly-to-thermal shield support lug interfaces in 1983, where the cracking was detected in the CSB assembly in areas adjacent to the thermal shield lugs and the CSB was determined to have separated from the thermal shield lugs. The staff observed that the applicant implemented the following corrective actions for resolving this OpE event to ensure and maintain the core support function of the CSB assembly:
Removed the Unit 1 thermal shield as a design modification for the RVIs design of the unit.
Installed crack arrest holes in portions of the CSB that contains through-wall crack indications and implemented machining to remove non-through-wall cracks detected in the CSB assembly (i.e., for the cracks detected in the regions of the CSB adjacent to the thermal shield support lugs).
Installed plugs in the CSB crack arrest holes and patches to the damaged support lug tear areas.
Performed a time-dependent analysis (Combustion Engineering Calculation No.
19367-640-60) to assess potential loss of preload that might occur in the CSB support lug patches and crack arrest hole plugs over time. The staff noted that, for the objectives of the SLRA, the applicant is using the updated loss of preload analysis in Westinghouse Letter No. LTR-SDA-20-104-P, revision 3, as the basis for the CSB Repair Plug TLAA that is evaluated in SLRA section 4.7.3 and for projecting the applicable preload analysis out to the end of the subsequent period of extended operation.

- 105 -
staff noted that per the information in SLRA section 4.7.4, the applicant references use of the updated staff guidance for RCP flywheel integrity in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.14.
The staff observed that the RCP flywheel fatigue crack growth analysis that forms the basis for the RCP flywheel TLAA (applicable to Units 1 and 2) is given in topical report SIR-94-080-A, revision 1. The staff observed that the time-dependent flaw growth analysis in SIR-94-080-A, revision 1, was approved in an NRC SE dated May 21, 1997. The staff noted that although the referenced NRC SE for the topical report was related to a license amendment for the Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, the NRCs SE is also applicable to the RCP flywheel fatigue flaw growth analyses at St. Lucie Units 1 and 2.
In the SE of the topical report, the staff made the following statement regarding the use of SIR-94-080-A for the RCP flywheel inspection intervals at St. Lucie Units 1 and 2:
Licensees for ANO-2, Palisades. Millstone 2, Waterford 3, and St. Lucie 1 & 2 who plan to submit a plant-specific application of this topical report need to verify the reference temperature RTNDT for their RCP flywheels. Also, if these licensees have flywheels made of materials other than SA 533 B and SA 508, they need to justify the use of the KIC v.s. (T - RTNDT) curve in appendix A of section XI of the ASME Code to derive their respective KIC values.
The staff observed that the applicant addressed the above matters for St. Lucie Unit 2 in the applicants license amendment request of October 10, 2019, for St. Lucie Unit 2, which formed the basis for maintaining re-inspections of the Unit 2 RCP flywheels on a 10-year re-inspection interval basis.
During the audit of the TLAA, the staff verified that the applicant has provided its technical basis that supports its disposition of RCP flywheel fatigue crack growth in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i).
The staff will evaluate this TLAA and the relationship of these observations to the TLAA in SER section 4.7.4.

1301079.402 Flaw Tolerance Evaluation of St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 CASS Components Revision 0, 11/5/2020 During the audit of TLAA, the staff verified that the applicant has provided its basis that supports its disposition of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii). However, the staff found that sufficient information was not available to complete its review of the applicants basis for its TLAA disposition. In order to obtain the necessary information, the staff will consider issuing RCIs, RAIs and/or use a voluntary SLRA supplement offered by the applicant during the audit.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
The staff reviewed the TLAA basis document Structural Integrity Report No.
2001262.402, Revision 1, Flaw Tolerance Evaluation of St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 CASS Components for SLR, dated July 15, 2021. The staff noted that tables 3 through 6 of the report contain the 60-year CASS evaluation results for Safety Injection Nozzle Safe Ends, Surge Lines, and RCP Safe Ends. The tolerable flaw depth in Safety Injection Nozzle Safe Ends and Surge Lines is 0.98 inches. At the bounding stress paths, the final flaw depth in the Safety Injection Nozzle Safe Ends would reach 0.91 inches in 480 months and in the Surge Lines it would reach 0.97 inches in 252 months. In contrast, table 9 of the report shows the same CASS re-evaluation results for the same components but for 80 years of operation. These crack growth results show that, after 960 months, the final limiting flaw depth following the bounding stress path would only reach 0.45 inches, less than half of the tolerable flaw depth of 0.98 inches that was previously estimated.
The NRC staff noted that aside from the updated 80-year projected cycles and applying the fatigue crack growth law of ASME code case N-809, Reference Fatigue Crack Growth Rate Curves for Austenitic Stainless Steels in Pressurized Water Reactor Environments, the remaining inputs to the 80-year flaw evaluation were similar to those for 60-years. However, the results suggest that operating period more than three times longer than the previously evaluated limiting time would result in a flaw less than half of the previously evaluated flaw depth. Additionally, SLRA section 4.7.7 states, For the SPEO, the SI Report used an updated version of crack growth software pc-Crack, which eliminated some of the unnecessary conservatisms in the PEO report. Apparently, this new version eliminates some of the unnecessary conservatisms by allowing the user to input rise time and metal temperature when doing the calculations. However, it was not clear to the staff: (a) what conservatisms were removed, (b) how these conservatisms decrease the maximum flaw growth so greatly from the previous analysis that 80-year operation is now justified, and (c) how the removal of these conservatisms will ensure safe operation of the plant up to 80 years.
- 109 -
During the audit of the OpE associated with the TLAA, the staff independently searched the plant-specific database to identify any previously unknown or recurring aging effects. The staff did not identify any additional aging effects that would have an impact on the applicants evaluation of the TLAA.
The staff also audited the UFSAR supplement description of the SLRA TLAA Flaw Tolerance Evaluation for CASS RCS Piping, provided in sections 19.3.6.7 and 19.3.6.6 of SLRA appendices A1 and A2. The staff found that sufficient information was not available to determine whether the descriptions provided in the UFSAR supplements were an adequate description of the SLRA TLAA on the flaw tolerance analysis for CASS RCS piping components. The staff will consider issuing an RAI in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the UFSAR supplement descriptions.
SLRA TLAA Section 4.7.8, Unit 2 Structural Weld Overlay PWSCC Crack Growth Analysis The SLRA states that TLAA 4.7.8, Unit 2 Structural Weld Overlay PWSCC Crack Growth Analysis, discusses the analysis for the following Unit 2 dissimilar metal welds.
Pressurizer surge nozzle Pressurizer relief valve nozzle Hot-leg shutdown cooling nozzles Hot-leg surge nozzle Hot-leg drain nozzle The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(iii).
Audit Activities. During the audit, the staff interviewed the applicants staff and reviewed documentation contained in the SLRA and provided by the applicant via the ePortal. For the OpE review, the applicant made a presentation on the process used to identify and evaluate the pertinent OpE. The staff conducted its review of the applicants methodology and OpE by reviewing documentation contained in the SLRA and ePortal.

However, the staff found that sufficient information was not available to complete its review of the applicants basis for its TLAA disposition. In order to obtain the necessary information, the staff will consider issuing an RAI.
During the audit, the staff made the following observations:
From review of Document No. 86-9329645-000, the staff noted in Section 2.4, PWSCC Crack Growth Mechanisms, the primary water SCC (PWSCC) crack growth rate for Alloy 52M that the applicant used. The NRC has not endorsed this crack growth rate and is currently reviewing its adequacy.
The staff interviewed the applicant to verify: (a) if the NRC endorses a different crack growth rate, what actions would the applicant take to address the revised rate, and (b) where this process is documented in the applicants procedures.

Vessel Support Arrangement and Installation Revision 1 During the audit, the staff made the following observations for SLRA sections 3.5.2.2.2.6, Reduction of Strength and Mechanical Properties of Concrete due to Radiation and 3.5.2.2.2.7 Expected Further Evaluation for Loss of Fracture Toughness due to IE of Reactor Vessel (RV)
Supports from NRC Review of the First Three SLRAs, hereinafter referenced as FE sections:
(a) The staff noted that the SLRA FE Sections did not include sufficient information regarding the following:
Alignment with Unit 1 and Unit 2 UFSARs, as applicable, (e.g., design codes used, loading conditions used).
(b) The staff noted that SLRA section 3.5.2.2.2.6 did not include sufficient information regarding the following:
- 118 -
Description of the reactor cavity concrete aligning it with PSL Unit 1 and 2 drawings and UFSARs, as applicable.
Information that the structural design for the two Units PSWs/LCC differs (e.g., different reinforcing grade steels used) and as to why Units 1 design bounds (controls) assessment of SLRA section 3.5.2.2.2.6.
Details of the controlling Units (i.e., PSL Unit 1) design (e.g., PSW/LCC concrete compressive strength(s), aggregate(s) used in concrete mix, rebar steel grade(s) used).
Which of the analyses and loading conditions included in the UFSAR have been used in the original analysis [analysis of record (AOR)] of the PSW/LCC under CLB loading conditions to evaluate radiation induced effects on reactor cavity concrete IR
[Interaction Ratio] = applied stresses/allowable stresses) associated with the governing failure mode of 0.77.
(c) The staff noted that the SLRA section 3.5.2.2.2.7 did not include sufficient information regarding the following:
Information on the RV support analysis and assumption used (e.g., separate beam column analyses, LOCA loads used in loading combinations).
Details on the reactor support slide plate configuration, on the lubricant used to facilitate nozzle sliding, and whether radiation effects could affect their intended function.
Information on the application of the site specific ASME Section XI, subsection IWF program to the RV structural steel assembly support components (e.g., for the purpose of inspections, all three supports are considered as one) and further clarification of NDEs (other than visual) used and continued to be used during the subsequent period of extended operation.
The effects of partial penetration weldments (i.e., fillet or groove welds) in the RV structural steel assembly, as shown for example in EBASCO Drawing Nos. 8770-G-794 and 2998-G-794, on the stresses on the RV structural steel assembly, especially at the locations of highest stress discussed in Section 6.2 of LTR-SDA-21-NP, revision 1 (Enclosure 4, Attachment 3 to the SLRA, ML21215A320) for the non-proprietary version and section 6.2 of LTR-SDA-21-P, Revision 1 (Enclosure 5, to the SLRA,. ML21215A322) for the proprietary version.
(d) The staff also noted the need for the SLRA FEs to include:
Reference(s) to core design procedures.
Clarity on the uncertainty on the reported ex-vessel fluence and gamma dose in SLRA table 3.5.2.2-2 augmented by uncertainties and its effects on the PSW/LCC AOR calculations, as discussed in the breakout sessions.
Clarity on the uncertainty on the reported ex-vessel fluence and gamma dose in SLRA tables 3.5.2.2-3 and 3.5.2.2-4, its effects and RV structural steel assembly, and whether it aligns with that assumed in the Point Beach structural steel fracture
- 119 -
mechanics calculations with which the PSL fracture mechanics evaluation asserts its conservatism.
Additional AMR line items, for example, to manage the effects of aging for reduction/loss of fracture toughness of the RV structural steel support assembly due to radiation exposure.
Readdress the ex-vessel estimated/calculated fluence uncertainty for concrete material properties degradation, as the breakout sessions discussed uncertainties on fluence/gamma dose, not reflected in the SLRA, may lead the calculated fluence to exceed threshold(s) of concern identified in NUREG-2192.
Review effects of uncertainty in radiation on the AOR including on the Stress Interaction Ratios (IR=applied stresses/allowable stresses) of PSW/LCC.
Further explain that the normalized ratios in SLRA table 3.5.2.2-5 are based on linear and nonlinear elastic fracture mechanics when compared to the to the linear elastic fracture mechanics RV structural steel assessment at Point Beach.
Confirm relevance of ASME section XI, subsection IWF service conditions at PSL with those at Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBN), since the applicant has based its fracture mechanics evaluation to the guidance provided in NUREG-1509 by comparison to PBN evaluation.
The staff will consider issuing RCIs and RAIs subsequent to its review and evaluation of applicants voluntarily offered SLRA supplement to obtain the necessary information related to the staffs observations above.
