1. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted an aging management audit of Vistra Operations Company LLC (Vistra or the applicant) (1) plant-specific operating experience (OE), (2) methodology to identify the systems, structures, and components (SSCs) to be included within the scope of license renewal (LR) 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 LR of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89 for Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP, Comanche Peak, or the applicant).

The purpose of the plant-specific OE portion of the audit is to identify examples of age-related degradation, as documented in the applicants corrective action program (CAP) database, and to provide a basis for the staffs conclusions on the ability of the applicants proposed AMPs to manage the effects of aging in the period of extended operation. Vistra searched their OE database and provided the results for the associated AMPs and TLAAs for NRC staff review.

Additional word searches were performed by Vistra 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 (LRA), 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 LR 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 Vistras AMPs, AMR items, and TLAAs for Comanche Peak;
  • Verify Vistras claims of consistency with the corresponding NUREG-1801, Generic Aging Lessons Learned for License Renewal (GALL) Report, (GALL-LR Report) issued in December 2010, 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 (SE).

The regulatory basis 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-1800, Standard Review Plan for Review of 10

License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (SRP-LR), dated December 2010, and NUREG-1801. The SRP-LR allows an applicant to reference in its LRA the AMPs described in the GALL-LR Report. By referencing the GALL-LR Report AMPs, the applicant concludes that its AMPs correspond to those AMPs reviewed and approved in the GALL-LR Report and that no further staff review is required. If an applicant credits an AMP for being consistent with a GALL-LR Report program, it is incumbent on the applicant to ensure that the plant program contains all of the elements of the referenced GALL-LR 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.

The LRA states that every AMP in the LRA is consistent with the program elements of the GALL-LR Report. To verify this claim of consistency, the staff audited each AMP, including any enhancements or exceptions associated with an AMP.

The LRA discusses each time-limited aging analyses, the disposition of the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1), and the basis for that disposition. To verify that the applicant provided a basis to support its disposition of the TLAA, the staff audited each TLAA.

The staff also audited AMR items not Associated with an AMP to determine if the information in the LRA is consistent with the further evaluation information in the SRP-LR.

Furthermore, the staff audited the FSAR descriptions for each AMP and TLAA for consistency with the SRP-LR. During its audit, the staff interviewed the applicants staff and reviewed documentation contained in the LRA and provided by the applicant via the ePortal. For the OE review, the applicant made a presentation on the process used to identify and evaluate the pertinent OE. Afterwards, the staff conducted its review of the applicants methodology and OE by reviewing documentation contained in the LRA and ePortal.

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 using other NRC processes, such as requests for additional information (RAIs), requests for confirmation of information (RCIs), and public meetings. Licensing conclusions, staff findings, staff review of enhancement and exceptions, and resolution of audit items will be documented in the staffs SE.

The following sections discuss the LRA areas reviewed by the staff.

LRA Section 2.1, Scoping and Screening Methodology Summary of Information in the Application. LRA Section 2 describes the process for identifying and determining the CPNPP SSCs that are included within the scope of LR. 10 CFR 54.21, Contents of Application - Technical Information, requires that each application for LR contain an integrated plant assessment (IPA). The IPA must list, for SSCs within the scope of LR, the structures and components (SCs) that are subject to an AMR. 10 CFR 54.4(a), Scope, 11

provides the criteria for inclusion of SSCs within the scope of LR and 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1) requires that SCs within the scope of license, that are determined to be passive and not periodically replaced (long-lived), are subject to an AMR. The staff conducted the scoping and screening methodology audit, from March 20-22, 2023, to review the applicants administrative controls governing implementation of the scoping and screening methodology and the technical basis for selected scoping and screening results for various plant SSCs.

Audit Activities.

A. Scoping Methodology Staff Review of Information Sources, Implementing Documents and Scoping Methodology The audit team reviewed the methodology used by the applicant to identify mechanical, structural, and electrical SSCs within the scope of LR (scoping). In addition, the audit team reviewed documentation pertinent to the scoping process. The audit team assessed whether the scoping methodology outlined in the LRA and implementing procedures was consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54.

The staff confirmed that the applicants detailed LR program guidelines specified the use of the current licensing basis (CLB) source information in developing scoping evaluations. The staff reviewed pertinent information sources used by the applicant including the component database, the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), maintenance rule basis documents, design-basis documents (DBD), LR drawings and station drawings.

The staff discussed the applicants administrative controls for the component database and the other information sources used to verify system information. These controls are described and implemented by plant procedures. Based on a review of the administrative controls and on a sample of the system classification information contained in the applicable documentation, the staff determined that the applicant has established adequate measures to control the integrity and reliability of system identification and safety classification data; therefore, the staff determined that the information sources used by the applicant during the scoping and screening process provided a controlled source of system and component data to support scoping and screening evaluations.

The staff reviewed the implementing procedures and results reports used to support identification of SSCs that the applicant relied on to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.4(a). The applicants LR program guidelines provided a listing of documents used to support scoping evaluations. The staff determined that the design documentation sources, required to be used by the applicants implementing procedures, provided sufficient information to ensure that the applicant identified SSCs to be included within the scope of LR consistent with the plants CLB.

During the audit, the applicant stated that it evaluated the types of events listed in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 95-10 (anticipated operational occurrences, design-basis accidents, external events, and natural phenomena) that were applicable to CPNPP. The staff reviewed the applicants basis documents, which described design-basis conditions in the CLB, and addressed events defined by 10 CFR 50.49(b)(1) and 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). The FSAR and basis documents discussed events, such as internal and external flooding, tornados, and missiles.

The staff determined that the applicants evaluation of DBEs was consistent with the SRP-LR.

12

The staff determined that the applicants LR project personnel performed the scoping activities, in accordance with the applicable implementing documents, as follows:

  • Mechanical scoping: The applicant used information contained in the plant component database to develop a list of plant systems and used CLB information, DBD, and station drawings to identify system intended functions. The intended functions were evaluated using the criteria of 10 CFR 54.4(a) to identify those systems to be included within the scope of LR.
  • Structural scoping: The applicant used CLB information, DBD and maintenance rule basis documents to develop a structures list and to identify structural intended functions.

The intended functions were evaluated using the criteria of 10 CFR 54.4(a) to identify those systems to be included within the scope of LR.

  • Electrical scoping: The applicant used a bounding approach for plant electrical and instrumentation and control (EI&C) systems and included all EI&C systems, and EI&C components contained in mechanical systems, within the scope of LR by default.

Staff Verification of Scoping and Screening Results for Sampled Systems and Components The staff performed a sampling review of the results of the applicants implementation of the scoping and screening methodology to confirm that the results were in conformance with the applicable implementing documents and the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54.

The staff reviewed a sample of the scoping and screening implementation and performed walkdowns for portions of various systems, focusing on non-safety-related SSCs in proximity of SR SSCs. The staff reviewed applicable portions of the FSAR, scoping and screening reports, and LR drawings and performed walkdowns to confirm information contained in the LRA.

The staff performed a site walkdown to observe those buildings that were included within the scope of LR, determined to be subject AMR, and were included in AMPs. The staff walkdowns included the exteriors and interiors (as appropriate) of the turbine, emergency diesel generator, switchgear, auxiliary, and containment structures. The staff observed the plant effluent hold-up and monitoring tanks, which were in the proximity of structures that had been included within the scope of LR in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(1). The staff requested that the applicant provide documentation of the scoping evaluation for the plant effluent hold-up and monitoring tanks, however the applicant indicated that the tanks had not been included within the scope of LR and did not provide a scoping evaluation. Upon the applicants further review, it was indicated to the staff that the applicant had determined that the plant effluent hold-up and monitoring tanks should be included within the scope of LR and subject to AMR, and that the LRA would be supplemented to include this information.

B. Screening Methodology The audit team reviewed the methodology used by the applicant to determine if mechanical, structural, and electrical components within the scope of LR would be subject to an AMR (screening) and the applicant provided a discussion indicating the processes used for each discipline.

The staff determined that the applicants LR project personnel performed the screening activities, in accordance with the applicable implementing documents, as follows:

13

  • Mechanical components were subject to AMR if they met the criteria of being passive and long-lived and the components supported a system intended function, which required the system to be included within the scope of LR. The applicant had identified the component level intended functions (e.g., pressure boundary, heat transfer), which supported a system intended function and highlighted the in-scope components that were subject to AMR on the LR drawings. Mechanical components that were included within scope in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) and subject to AMR were also identified on the LR drawings.
  • Structural components had been determined by the applicant to be inherently passive and long-lived and were grouped by common structural intended functions (e.g., support, enclosure protection, fire barrier, flood barrier, pressure boundary). The components were treated as bulk commodities based on material of construction for the purposes for the AMR.
  • Electrical and instrumentation and control components, which were included within the scope of renewal in accordance with the bounding method used for EI&C, were evaluated in accordance with the guidance contained in NEI 95-10 to identify the passive and long-lived components subject to AMR.

The audit team noted that the applicants screening process was performed in accordance with its written requirements and was consistent with the guidance provided in the SRP-LR and NEI 95-10. The audit team determined that the screening methodology was consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54 for the identification of SSCs that meet the screening criteria of 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1).

C. Aging Management Program Quality Assurance Attributes The audit team reviewed the AMP quality assurance (QA) elements to verify consistency with the staffs guidance described in SRP-LR, Appendix A, Branch Technical Positions, Section A.2, Quality Assurance for Aging Management Programs (Branch Technical Position IQMB-1). The AMP QA elements are corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative controls.

The applicant described the AMP QA elements in LRA Appendix A, Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement, Section A.1.3, Quality Assurance Program and Administrative Controls, and LRA Appendix B, Aging Management Programs, Section B.1.3, Quality Assurance Program and Administrative Controls, and the individual AMPs.

LRA Appendix A stated that the QA Program for CPNPP implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and will be consistent with the summary in Appendix A.2, Quality Assurance for Aging Management Programs (Branch Technical Position IQMB-1), of NUREG-1800. The QA Program includes the elements of corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative controls, and is applicable to nuclear safety-related SSCs. CPNPP will enhance the QA Program to include nonnuclear safety (NNS) SSCs that are subject to AMR for LR.

LRA Appendix B also stated that the CPNPP QA Program implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants and is consistent with the summary in Appendix A.2 of 14

NUREG-1800. The CPNPP QA Program includes the elements of corrective action, confirmation process, and administrative controls, and is applicable to nuclear safety-related SSCs. CPNPP will enhance the QA Program to include NNS SSCs that are subject to AMR for LR.

Based on the audit teams evaluation, review of the AMPs and information contained in LRA Appendix A and Appendix B, the staff determined that the AMP QA elements are consistent with the staffs position regarding QA for aging management.

The staff found that, for the scope of program, preventive actions, parameters monitored or inspected, 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-LR 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-LR Report AMP.

During the audit, the staff made the following observations.

  • In relation to the scope of program and preventive actions program elements, Enhancement 1 states that the program will be modified to include environmentally-16

assisted fatigue (EAF) analyses for locations that have been determined to be sentinel (limiting) locations through the EAF screening evaluation in addition to those listed in NUREG/CR-6260. The applicants approach for EAF analyses is described in LRA Section 4.3.4. However, the LRA does not clearly describe whether the applicant will use a staff-approved flaw tolerance analysis methodology (e.g., ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix L) if the applicant performs a flaw tolerance analysis to manage the effects of fatigue based on the results of the EAF analyses that are described in Enhancement 1.

  • In relation to the preventive actions program element, Enhancement 2 states that the program will be modified, as needed, to monitor the environmental effects at the sentinel locations. However, the LRA does not clearly describe whether this enhancement addresses the monitoring of chemistry parameters that are used as input to the environmental cumulative usage factor (CUFen) calculations. The staff also needs clarification on whether the monitoring in this enhancement will ensure that the CUFen values do not exceed the design limit of 1.0 during the period of extended operation.
  • In relation to the parameters monitored or inspected program element, Enhancement 3 states that the program will be revised to account for additional critical thermal and pressure transients for components that have been identified to have a fatigue TLAA.

During the audit, the applicant explained that the transients, which will be added to the cycle monitoring as part of this enhancement, will be based on the EAF analyses that are described in Enhancement 1. The applicant also indicated that the design transients in LRA Tables 4.3.1-2, 4.3.1-3 and 4.3.1-4 will be compared with the transients under cycle monitoring in this enhancement. However, the LRA does not clearly address how the applicant will determine the transients that are not be monitored for the period of extended operation (i.e., technical basis for not monitoring a transient).

  • In relation to the acceptance criteria program element, Enhancement 4 states that the program will be modified to include acceptance criteria based on the 60-year cycle projections used in the supporting analyses. However, the LRA does not clearly describe whether this enhancement includes an acceptance criterion to ensure that CUFen values do not exceed the design limit of 1.0.
  • In relation to the corrective actions program element, Enhancement 5 states that the program will be modified to provide clarity on when to initiate corrective action. However, the enhancement does not clearly explain what clarity will be specifically provided regarding when to initiate corrective action. The staff also need clarification on whether this enhancement includes corrective actions for new additional high-energy line break (HELB) locations (e.g., additional HELB analysis for newly identified break locations and their effects during the period of extended operation).

The staff also audited the description of the LRA Fatigue Monitoring AMP provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the guidance provided in the SRP-LR.

LRA AMP B.2.2.2, Environmental Qualification of Electric Components Summary of Information in the Application. The LRA notes that AMP B.2.2.2, Environmental Qualification of Electric Components, is an existing program with an enhancement that will be consistent with the program elements in GALL-LR Report X.E1, Environmental Qualification (EQ) of Electric Components.

Guidance (SLR-ISG)

Document No. SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI NUREG-2191, Volume 1 Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Feb. 7, 2017 Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report ML17187A031 Electric Power Research Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor December 2019 Institute (EPRI) Report Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines MRP-227, ML20175A112 No. 3002017168, MRP- Revision 1-A 227, Revision 1-A LRA Table 3.1-1 Summary of Aging Management Programs for Reactor October 3, 2022 Vessel, Internals, and Reactor Coolant System LRA Table 3.1.2-2 Reactor Vessel Internals - Summary of Aging Management October 3, 2022 Evaluation 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 element(s) of the LRA AMP are consistent with the corresponding elements of the GALL-LR Report AMP.

During the audit, the staff verified that the applicant addressed the guidance in SRP-LR Section A.1.2.3 for 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 LRA AMP.

During the audit, the staff made following observations regarding AMP B.2.3.7:

  • Audit AMP Topic No. 1 The staff observed that, in relation to the detection of aging effects program element of AMP XI.M16A of GALL-LR Report, Revision 2, LRA Section B.2.3.7 indicates that the CPNPP AMP will implement the guidelines in PWR Owners Group (PWROG) letter OG-21-160 as an additional guideline to address clevis insert degradation. The OG 160 report provides new guidance for ultrasonic testing (UT) inspections of the clevis insert bolts. The current aging management basis for clevis insert bolts and wear surfaces in Item W14 in Table 4-9 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A only calls for VT-3 visual inspections per the ASME Code,Section XI, of the clevis insert bolts and wear surfaces, as modified by the VT-3 visual examination criteria in Westinghouse Bulletin No.

TB-14-5. The staff notes that Item W14 in Table 4-9 of MRP-277, Revision 1-A does not 26

include or reference use of OG-21-160, although the OG-21-160 guidance was added to Item W14 in MRP 2018-022.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss how Item W14 in Table 4-9 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A will be implemented during the period of extended operation for the CPNPP units and the scope of supplemental Westinghouse or PWROG guidance that will be implemented under the inspection and evaluation (I&E) criteria. In addition, if the guidance in OG-21-160 will be implemented in addition to Westinghouse Bulletin No. TB-14-5, the staff asked the applicant to discuss whether OG-21-160 will be identified as an Enhancement of Item W14 in Table 4-9 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A and an enhancement as part of LRA Section B.2.3.7. The applicant stated that currently, the PWRVI AMP is written to be consistent with the guidance contained in MRP-227, Revision 1-A. However, as stated in the AMP description in LRA Section B.2.3.7, the program will implement the requirements of Revision 1-A or the latest NRC-approved version of MRP-227. The applicant further stated that the PWRVI AMP at CPNPP will be implemented in accordance with NEI 03-08. Therefore, the applicant will evaluate NEI 03-08 Needed guidance, such as OG-21-160, and track the issue in its Alloy 600, ISI, and Reactor Internals Plan. Given that GALL-LR Report AMP XI.M16A permits use of supplemental methodologies in addition to MRP-227, Revision 1-A and that OG 160 provides additional guidance for performing UT inspections of clevis insert bolts, the staff considers this technical topic to be closed for the audit.

  • Audit AMP Topic No. 2 The staff observed that, in relation to detection of aging effects, monitoring and trending, and operating experience program elements of AMP XI.M16A, LRA Section B.2.3.7 discusses industry OE of upper and lower assembly fuel alignment pins that have shown surface breaking indications induced by wear, as evaluated in Westinghouse Technical Bulletin No. TB-14-6. The applicant indicated that recommendations for managing wear in the pins is given in Westinghouse Bulletin TB-14-6 but clarified that the guidance only applies to the fuel alignment pins made from Type 304 stainless steel (SS) with a malcomized surface treatment. The applicant stated that this OE is not applicable to CPNPP because the fuel alignment pins at CPNPP are made of cold-worked Type 316 SS (316 SS). The staff notes that MRP-227, Revision 1-A is not to be used as a replacement for implementing ASME Code,Section XI inspections of reactor vessel internal components that are designated as ASME Code Class Internal components in the CLB.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss whether the fuel alignment pins in the upper and lower reactor internal assemblies at CPNPP units are designed as ASME Code,Section XI Examination Category B-N-3 components. If so, discuss whether the ASME Code,Section XI inspection will be performed on the alignment pins regardless the alignment pins do not include a malcomized surface that would make them susceptible to wear. The staff also asked about whether the design of the alignment pins at CPNPP are susceptible to cracking based on the cold working of the 316 SS materials that were used in fabrications of the alignment pins. The applicant stated that fuel alignment pins at CPNPP are designed as Category B-N-3 components and are therefore inspected in accordance with the ASME Code,Section XI. As such, line items in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 for Examination Category B-N-3 internals components are inclusive of the fuel alignment pins. The applicant further stated that the cold-worked type 316 SS fuel alignment pins are susceptible to cracking per PWROG-15105-NP, 27

which assumes greater than 20% cold-work for 316 SS fuel alignment pins. However, the applicant explained that because the fuel alignment pins are not made from type 304 SS, the guidance of Westinghouse TB 16-4 is not applicable to CPNPP. The applicant indicated that no relevant flaws related to the 316 SS fuel alignment pins were identified during past ASME Section XI visual VT-3 inspections performed on the fuel alignment pins. Given that the staff has confirmed that cracking in the upper and lower fuel alignment pins is appropriately addressed by the generic AMR item in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 and that GALL-LR Report AMP XI.M16A permits VT-3 visual inspection methods to be applied as an nondestructive examination (NDE) method for managing cracking in redundant RVI component types (e.g., the fuel alignment pins), the staff considers this technical topic to be closed for the audit.

  • Audit AMP Topic No. 3 The staff observed that, in relation to detection of aging effects, monitoring and trending, and operating experience program elements of AMP XI.M16A, LRA Section B.2.3.7 discusses industry OE with loss or material due to wear in Westinghouse-design control rod guide tube (CRGT) assembly support plates (guide cards) and how these components will be managed as Primary-category components at CPNPP using visual inspections in Westinghouse Proprietary Report No.

WCAP-17451-P, Revision 1. The staff noted that inspections of Westinghouse-design CRGT guide plates (guide cards) are covered by Item W1 in Tables 4-3 and 5-3 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The fourth paragraph in LRA Section B.2.3.7 on page B-60 states that during the Spring 2022 outage, all 53 Unit 1 guide tubes and associated guide cards were inspected and measured for wear based on guidance in Westinghouse report, WCAP-17451, Revision 1. The applicant stated that the low wear levels were observed at Unit 1. The applicant further stated that it will inspect Unit 2 guide cards in Spring 2023. Item W1 in Tables 4-3 and 5-3 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A includes the CRGT guide cards as Primary-category components that are subject to VT-3 visual inspections for wear-type flaw indications, without any designated or linked Expansion category components. Item W1 indicates that the inspections are done per the guidance in Westinghouse report, WCAP-17451, Revision 1. However, contrary to Item W1 in Table 4-3 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, WCAP-17451, Revision 1 indicates that there are two types of Westinghouse CRGT assembly components that serve as Expansion components for Westinghouse-design CRGT guide cards, instead of being the Primary component.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss CRGT guide card inspections and the results of past inspections performed at Unit 1. Specifically, the staff asked whether there are applicable Expansion components for the CRGT guide cards in LRA Section B.2.3.7. If so, identify the linked Expansion-category components for the Primary-category CRGT guide cards in the AMP. Also, the staff asked that if there are applicable Expansion-category components for the CRGT guide cards, whether the degree of wear detected from the Unit 1 inspections sufficient to call for sample-expansion to the linked CRGT Expansion-category component types. The applicant indicated that the date for the Unit 2 guide card inspection is incorrect. The applicant stated that a supplement is needed to correct this date from Spring 2023 to Fall 2024.

The applicant further stated that its document WO-5954259 provides an evaluation and conclusions of the minimal guide card wear observed during the initial Unit 1 inspections.

The applicant further stated that there are no applicable Expansion components for the CRGT guide cards because MRP-227, Revision 1-A does not provide an Expansion 28

link component for guide cards. The applicant explains that MRP-227, Revision 1-A references WCAP-17451-P, Revision1 for additional examination and acceptance criteria. The applicant further stated that should significant wear be detected on the CRGT guide cards, the guidance of WCAP-17451-P will be used. The staff will confirm that the Unit 2 guide card inspection is changed from Spring 2023 to Fall 2024 in an applicants supplement when preparing the SE. Based on the explanations from the applicant, the staff considers the inspection bases for the CRGT guide cards and linked Expansion-category components (as specified in WCAP-17451-P, Revision 1) to be closed for the audit.

  • Audit AMP Topic No. 4 The staff observed that, in relation to PWRVIPs detection of aging effects, monitoring and trending, and operating experience program elements, LRA Section B.2.3.7 discusses industry OE with PWR control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) penetration nozzle thermal sleeves, as discussed and evaluated in Westinghouse Nuclear Safety Advisory Letters NSAL-18-01 and NSAL-20-01, Revision 1, and the guidelines in EPRI Letter MRP-2018-027. The staff observed that the third paragraph on page B-61 of the LRA states that At CPNPP, baseline inspections [of the CRDM thermal sleeves] were completed during the Fall 2021 outage for Unit 2. Normal wear was found during visual inspections with a recommendation to re-inspect within six cycles. Baseline inspections for Unit 1 were completed during the Spring 2022 outage, also showing normal wear with a recommendation to re-inspect in 12 cycles The staff noted that the re-inspection for the thermal sleeve flange wear at Unit 2 is 6 cycles but for Unit 1 the re-inspection is 12 cycles.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to confirm whether Unit 1 has a longer re-inspection interval because Unit 1 has a new reactor pressure vessel (RPV) head which has not had significant wear at the thermal sleeve flange. The applicant explained that the re-inspection interval is longer for Unit 1 because significantly less thermal sleeve flange wear than Unit 2 was observed during the initial measurements, due to the fact that the Unit 1 replacement RPV head has a shorter operating duration than the Unit 2 head. The applicant stated that initial wear measurements, evaluation, and conclusions are included in WO-5998393 for Unit 1 and WO-5668060 for Unit 2. Based on the applicants explanations, the staff considers the re-inspection interval for CPNPP CRDM penetration nozzle thermal sleeves to be closed for the audit.

  • Audit AMP Topic No. 5 The staff observed that, in relation to PWRVIPs detection of aging effects, monitoring and trending, and operating experience program elements, LRA Section B.2.3.7 discusses inspection categories, inspective and evaluation criteria, relevant OE with Westinghouse-design core barrel (CB) assembly upper girth welds (UGWs) and upper flange welds (UFWs). The staff noted that in MRP-277, Revision 1-A, Table 4-6, the CB assembly UGW is established as an Expansion-category Item W3.1 weld for the linked Primary-category Item W3 UFW in Table 4-3 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The staff further noted that recently the licensee for an U.S. Westinghouse-design nuclear plant detected several significant circumferential flaws in the CB UGW of that unit during the Fall 2022 refueling outage.

29

During the audit, the staff asked that considering recent OE of the degraded UGW in a domestic PWR plant, discuss whether CPNPP will inspect the CB UGWs in the near future. The staff also asked the applicant to discuss whether the UFWs and UGWs are designated as ASME Code,Section XI Examination Category B-N-3 weld for the CB assemblies. If so, discuss whether past ASME Code,Section XI VT-3 inspections have identified any flaws in the UFWs and UGWs. The applicant stated that CPNPP is currently following the CB focus group, made up of EPRI, Westinghouse, and industry experts. The applicant stated that developments from the industry focus group will be tracked under TR-2023-001108. Presently, CPNPP will follow the guidance of MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The applicant confirmed that UFWs and UGWs are part of the Category B-N-3 examination population at CPNPP. The applicant reported that no relevant flaws in these welds have been identified throughout past inspections performed on the welds. Given that the applicant has inspected the UGWs and is following the guidance of the industry focus group, this the staff considers this technical matter to be closed for the audit.

During the audit, the staff observed the following regarding the AMR of PWR Vessel Internals:

The staff noted that the applicant is conservatively using the updated set of AMR items for PWR RVI components in SRP-SLR Table 3.1-1 and GALL-SLR Report Table IV.B2 (as updated in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI) as the AMR item basis for the PWR RVI components at CPNPP.

The staff noted that this is permitted as an AMR development option for initial LRA PWRVIPs that have converted over to the EPRI MRP guidance in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, as discussed and clarified on Page 5 of SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI. Thus, while the AMR items in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI are identified as being applicable to subsequent LRAs, they can be applied to initial LRA PWRVIPs at CPNNP that are based on MRP-227, Revision 1-A (without the need for a gap analysis of the MRP-227, Revision 1-A guidelines from 60 to 80 years).

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 1 Items IV.B2.RP-345a and IV.B2.R-424 in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 on page 3.1-83 are identified as bottom-mounted instrumentation (BMI) flux thimble tubes with Notes C, D, and E. These two items are correlated to aging effects of loss of fracture toughness due to irradiation embrittlement (IE), loss of material due to wear, change of dimensions to void swelling (VS) or distortion, and loss of preload due to irradiation-assisted stress relaxation or creep (ISR/IC) that are associated with Items IV.B2.RP-345a, IV.B2.RP-345 and IV.B2.R-424 in Table 3.1-1 of SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI and/or GALL-SLR Report.

The staff observed that these line items apply to the reactor vessel internal portion of the flux thimble tubes, which are not part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

However, the BMI flux thimble tubes extend to the outside of the reactor vessel which become part of pressure boundary and are associated with GALL/GALL-SLR Report Items IV.A2.RP-28, -154 and -284 (as updated in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI) in LRA Table 3.1.2-1 (page 3.1-62). The aging effects for portions of the flux thimble tubes outside of the RPV are different from the portions of the flux thimble tubes that are located inside of the RPV. However, the staff observed that LRA Section 3.1.2.2.9 (LRA page 3.1-13), indicates that the internal, non-reactor coolant pressure boundary portions of the flux thimble tubes are No Additional Measures components per MRP-227, Revision 1-A, as linked to SRP-SLR Table 3.1-1, Item 3.1-1, 055c and GALL-SLR Report Item IV.B2.RP-265.

30

During the audit, the staff noted that a potential discrepancy exists regarding: (1) which line item or items should be used for the PWR vessel internals portions of the flux thimble per LRA Section 3.1.2.2.9 and those cited for the flux thimble tube non-pressure boundary portions in Table 3.1.2-2, and (2) whether the PWR vessel internal, non-pressure boundary portions of the BMI flux thimble tubes are being subject to MRP-227 aging management activities (i.e., condition monitoring inspections).

The applicant stated that the last paragraph of LRA Section 3.1.2.2.9 currently states that flux thimble tubes are No Additional Measures components. However, this section should be amended to state that flux thimble tubes are Existing Programs components, as discussed in Item 3.1-1, 053c. The applicant stated that no discrepancy exists in either Table 3.1.2-1 or Table 3.1.2-2 except that LRA Section 3.1.2.2.9 contains an error, Flux thimble tubes are not linked to item 3.1-1, 055c, but are instead linked to item 3.1-1, 053c. The staff will confirm that the applicant has amended the LRA Section 3.1.2.2.9 when preparing its SE.

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 2 LRA Table 3.1.2-2, page 3.1-96, includes line items, IV.B2.RP-289 and IV.B2.RP-345 on cracking of the CB flanges that align to GALL-SLR Report Item IV.B2.RP-289 using either Note C or D. However, the staff noted that the applicable and corresponding Item IV.B2.RP-289 in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI applies specifically to MRP-227 Existing Program bases for Westinghouse-design lower core plates or extra-long lower core plates. The plates are subject to ASME Code,Section XI VT-3 visual inspections per Item W12.a in Table 4-9 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A and for loss of material due to wear per Item W12.b in Table 4-9 of MRP-227, Revision1-A. The staff also noted that GALL-SLR Report (as updated inclusive of changes made in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI) does not include an applicable AMR item for cracking of CB flanges.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to confirm that the aging effect of cracking on CB flanges associated with line item IV.B2.RP-289 is included in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 on page 3.1-83. The staff tried to determine that CB flange is aligned with Item IV.B2.RP-289 in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI for the ASME Section XI, VT-3 visual inspections that will be applied to the Existing Program category CB flanges per Item W10 in MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The applicant stated that Item IV.B2.RP-289, which credits the PWRVI and water Chemistry AMPs for management of cracking, is applied to CB flanges. The applicant further stated that the VT-3 visual inspections will be applied through the PWRVI AMP to confirm the effectiveness of the preventive maintenance Water Chemistry AMP. Based on the applicants explanations, the staff consider this technical topic to be closed for the audit.

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 3 LRA Table 3.1.2-2, page 3.1-96 includes line items for neutron shield panel support pins that align to GALL-SLR Report Items IV.B2.RP-271 and IV.B2.RP-272 Note C or D.

These line items manage irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) and fatigue induced cracking, loss of material due to wear, loss of preload due to ISR/IC, and loss of fracture toughness due to IE in the pins. The staff noted that these two items also apply to management of applicable cracking, loss of preload, loss of fracture, changes in dimensions, and loss of material mechanism in Primary-category Westinghouse-design 31

baffle-to-former bolts using GALL-LR Report AMP XI.M16A, where the bolts are subject to augmented aging management inspections per Item W9 in Table 4-3 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A.

The staff observed that the LRAs adoption of these two items under Note C or D bases could only be applied to the neutron shield panel support pins if the pins were subject to augmented Primary item inspections in the manner that Primary-category UT inspections are applied to and performed on Westinghouse-design baffle-former-bolts per Item W9 in Table 4-3 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A. However, the staff observed that, in MRP-227, Revision 1-A, all neutron shield panel components are placed in the No Additional Measures category because the pins do not screen-in for any aging effects per MRP-227, Revision 1-A.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss the discrepancies on the AMR items provided for neutron shield panel supports pins on LRA page 3.1-96. Specifically, (1) Will the referenced AMR line items for the neutron shield panel support pins be subject to augmented, Primary-category inspections per a plant-specific adjustment of the MRP-227, Revision 1-A protocols? (2) If the neutron shield panel support pins are justified for placement in the No Additional Measures category of AMP B2.3.7, discuss why LRA Table 3.1.2-2 is not giving a single line item for the neutron shield panel support pins that aligns to SRP-SLR Table 3.1-1, Item 3.1-1, 055c and GALL-SLR Report Item IV.B2.RP-265?

The applicant stated that neutron panel support pins will not be subject to augmented, primary-category inspections to be consistent with MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The applicant further stated that neutron shield panel support pins were conservatively included as primary components, akin to the management of thermal shield flexures for sites which utilize thermal shields. However, the applicant explained that, upon further consideration, the items for neutron shield panel support pins in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 which are linked to Items 3.1-1, 053a and 3.1-1, 059a should be deleted items as No Additional Measures in LRA Table 3.1.2-2. The staff will confirm that the applicant has amended the LRA when preparing the SE.

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 4 LRA Table 3.1.2-2, page 3.1-97, includes line items IV.B2.RP-285 and IV.B2 RP-399 for radial support keys and associated bolts that align to either GALL-SLR Report Items IV.B2.RP-285 or RP-399 using Note C or D. These line items manage IASCC and fatigue induced cracking, changes in dimension due to VS or distortion, loss of material due to wear, loss of preload due ISR/IC, and loss of fracture toughness due to IE in the radial support key components.

The staff noted that the cross-referenced GALL-SLR Report Items IV.B2.RP-285 and IV.B2.RP-399 items (as updated in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI) apply to aging management of cracking due to stress corrosion cracking or fatigue, loss of material due to wear, and loss of preload due to ISR/IC (bolts only) in RPV interfacing clevis insert assembly components, including bolts or screws, dowels, and clevis insert surfaces. The staff observed that the GALL-LR Report line item calls out the ASME Code,Section XI inspection-based Existing Program criteria in Item W14 of Table 4-9 in MRP-227, Revision 1-A for the clevis insert assembly component types. The GALL-LR Report, Revision 2, and GALL-SLR Report do not include any similar Existing Program-based 32

AMR line items for the radial support key components. However, the staff observed that EPRI MRP added the radial support keys in as new Existing Program components in MRP-2018-022.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss Note C or D-related AMR line items for radial support keys and associated bolts in LRA Table 3.1.2-2, page 3.1-97.

Specifically, the staff asked whether the proposed AMR line items are conservatively being included in LRA Table 3.1.2-2. page 3.1-97, to add in the radial support keys and associated bolts as ASME Code, Section XI-based Existing Program components for the LRA AMP B2.3.7 and the referenced aging effects, such that LRA Table 3.1.2-2 is consistent with the updated EPRI recommendations for Westinghouse-design radial support keys in MRP 2018-022.

The applicant stated that radial support keys and associated bolts were conservatively included as Existing Programs components in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 as integral alignment and interfacing components. The staff observed that this is consistent with the EPRI MRP supplemental guidelines in MRP 2018-022, which assesses aging through an 80-year subsequent LR service period and is conservative for the assessment of aging in the CPNPP RVI components through a 60-year service period. Thus, the staff considers this matter to be closed for the audit.

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 5 LRA Table 3.1.2-2, page 3.1-98, includes two line items for the upper internals assembly (UIA) support ring that aligns to GALL-SLR Report Item IV.B2.RP-288 using Note C.

These two line items manage loss of fracture toughness due to IE and loss of material due to wear in the UIA support rings. The staff observed that the cross-referenced Item IV.B2.RP-288 in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI applies to aging management of loss of material due to wear, and loss of fracture toughness due to IE, and changes in dimension due to VS or distortion.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss the basis for the Note C or D-related AMR line items for the UIA support rings on LRA page 3.1-98. Specifically, the staff asked the applicant to confirm whether the proposed AMR line items are conservatively being included in LRA Table 3.1-2, page 3.1-98, to add loss of fracture toughness and loss of material due to wear as aging effects (i.e., in addition to cracking) for the ASME Code, Section XI-based Existing Program criteria for the UIA support rings that are aligned to Item W11 of Table 4-9 in MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The staff also asked whether the IV.B2.RP-288 based line items for UIA support ring in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 need to include an associated AMR line item on aging management of changes in dimension due to VS or distortion in the UIA support rings to be consistent with Item IV.B2.RP-288 in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI.

The applicant stated that the items in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 for loss of fracture toughness and loss of material of the UIA support ring were conservatively included. However, the applicant stated that, upon further consideration, these items should be deleted from LRA Table 3.1.2-2, leaving only the items for cracking of the UIA support ring, consistent with MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The staff will confirm that the applicant has amended the LRA 3.1.2-2 when preparing the SE.

33

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 6 LRA Table 3.1.2-2, pages 3.1-91 to 3.1-96, includes a number of AMR line items for lower support columns and associated column components that align to GALL-SLR Report Item IV.B2.RP-290 (for non-cracking effects) or IV.B2,RP-291 (for cracking) using Note A or B. These items correspond to Expansion Item W4.4 in Table 4-6 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A. However, the line item entries in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 differentiate between the lower support column components in Unit 1 and Unit 2.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss any unit-specific differences between the design of the lower support columns and associated components in Unit 1 from those that are included in Unit 2. The staff further asked that if applicable, whether those design differences will cause any adjustments of the MRP-227, Revision 1-A I&E protocols for the Expansion-Category Item W4.4 in Table 4-6 of MRP-227, Revision 1-A, independent of whether the lower support columns are made from either cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) materials or wrought SS materials.

The applicant stated that, as discussed in Section 4.1 of RVI screening and AMR document LUM00020-REPT-005, the core support columns and sleeves for Unit 1 are constructed from CASS (A351, Gr. CF8 or CF8A), whereas core support columns and sleeves for Unit 2 are constructed from 304 stainless steel. The applicant also explained that the material differences between Units 1 and 2 will not cause any adjustment of the MRP-227, Revision 1-A I&E protocols. The applicant stated that there is no significant difference in configuration of the core support columns between the two units. Based on the applicants explanations, the staff confirmed that thermal embrittlement has been generically eliminated as a concern for CF8 CASS lower support columns, as evaluated in Section 3.6.7 of the staffs April 25, 2019, SE for MRP-227, Revision 1-A. Therefore, based on the applicants explanations and staffs SE for MRP-227, the staff considers this matter to be closed for the audit.

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 7 LRA Table 3.1.2-2, pages 3.1-85 to 3.1-86 includes line items for aging management of loss of material due to wear in the Primary Item W1 CRGT guide plates (i.e., CRGT guide cards). The staff noted that line Item IV.B2.RP-386 in Table IV.B2 of GALL, Revision 2 covers management of loss of material due to wear in Westinghouse-design CRGT C-tubes and sheaths. However, LRA Table 3.1.2-2 does not include corresponding AMR items for the CRGT C-tubes and sheaths.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss why LRA Table 3.1.2-2 does not include any AMR item or items for managing loss of material due to wear in the CRGT C-tubes and sheaths. The applicant indicated that a line item for CRGT assemblies: C-tubes and sheaths with a structural support intended function, managing loss of material due to wear, and linked to GALL-LR Report Item IV.B2.RP-386 should be added to LRA Table 3.1.2-2. In addition, the applicant stated that a corresponding item for C-tubes and sheaths should be added to LRA Table 2.3.1-2. The applicant clarified that as identified in Section 4.1 of RVI screening and AMR document LUM00020-REPT-005, CRGT C-tubes and sheaths are constructed from 304 stainless steel. The staff will confirm that the applicant has amended the LRA 3.1.2-2 when preparing the SE.

  • Audit AMR Topic No. 8 LRA Table 3.1.2-2 does not include any component-specific AMR line items for CRGT support pins (spilt pins) that are included in the CPNPP unit-specific CRGT assembly designs. The staff noted that in SRP-SLR Table 3.1-1, Item 028 (as updated in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI), the basis for managing Westinghouse-design CRGT spilt pins was dependent on whether the pins were made from X-750 nickel-based alloy materials (versus Type 316 SS materials), and whether the spilt pins were designated as Examination Category B-N-3 components of Table IWB-2500-1 of the ASME Code,Section XI, where the ASME Section XI inspections would be credited for aging management of cracking in the pins.

The staff also observed that in the updated SRP-SLR Table 3.1-1, Item 028 (as updated in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI), the staff permitted CRGT split pins made from type 316 stainless pins (and not subject to ASME Code Class inspections credited for aging management) to be placed in the No Additional Measures category, as consistent with the criteria established for CRGT spilt pins in MRP-227, Revision 1-A. The staff notes that this is predicated on the condition that, if CRGT spilt pins are ASME Code Class components, the ASME Section XI inspections of the pins are not credited for Existing Program credit in MRP-227, Revision1-A such that the ASME inspections of the pins would be credited under the applicants AMP B.2.3.1 ISI Program per the staffs update of GALL-SLR Report Item IV.E.R-444 in the SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI.

During the audit, the staff asked the applicant to discuss how the CRGT split pins are being managed for cracking consistent with criteria defined in the GALL-SLR Item column entry of Table 3.1-1, Item 028, in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI. The staff asked the applicant to discuss the following design-basis for the CRGT spilt pins: (1) material of fabrication for the pins in both units, (2) whether the CRGT spilt pins in both units are original pins or replacement pins, (3) whether the CRGT spilt pins are defined as ASME Code Class 1 components in the design-basis and are required to be inspected periodically under Examination Category B-N-3 of Table IWB-2500-1 of the ASME Code,Section XI, and (4) if the pins are ASME Code Class components, discuss whether the ASME Section XI inspections scheduled for the CRGT split pins are being credited for aging management of cracking in the pins per the LRA AMP B.2.3.1, ASME Section XI ISI Program versus ASME-based Existing Program basis in the LRA AMP B.2.3.7.

The applicant explained that the split pins in both Unit 1 and Unit 2 were replaced in 2004 and 2005, respectively, and that the replacement pins are made from Type 316 SS as a replacement material for the design of the original pins, which were made from Alloy X-750 Nickel-based alloy materials. The applicant also explained that the replacement CRGT split pins are Examination Category B-N-3 components of Table IWB-2500-1 of the ASME Code,Section XI. As such, the generic line items linked to GALL-SLR Report Item IV.E.R.444 (as updated in SLR-ISG-2021-01-PWRVI) for SS ASME Code,Section XI B-N-3 vessel internals components in LRA Table 3.1.2-2 are inclusive of the split pins. Based on the applicants explanations, the staff confirmed that the applicant is appropriately managing age-related degradation in the CRGT split pins using the applicants inservice inspection AMP. Therefore, the staff considers this matter to be closed for the audit.

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, and acceptance criteria program elements of the LRA AMP are consistent with the corresponding elements of the GALL-LR Report AMP.

During the audit, the staff made the following observations:

  • WCAP-12866, a report that has not been generically approved by the NRC, provides the plant-specific wear projection methodology and acceptance criteria.

o As it relates to Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2, wall thickness is projected using plant-specific data and a methodology that includes sufficient conservatism to ensure that wall thickness acceptance criteria continue to be met during plant operation between scheduled inspections.

o As it relates to Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2, the acceptance criteria are technically justified to provide an adequate margin of safety to ensure that the integrity of the reactor coolant system pressure boundary is maintained. The acceptance criteria include allowances for factors such as instrument uncertainty, uncertainties in wear scar geometry, and other potential inaccuracies, as applicable, to the inspection methodology chosen for use in the program.

  • The applicant indicated participation in a PWROG effort towards possibly extending the interval between flux thimble tube inspections.
  • The AMP has employed capping, moving, and replacing flux thimble tubes to reduce wear or prevent it in the case of the acceptance criteria being exceeded.
  • No through-wall wear has been recorded at Comanche Peak Unit 1 or 2.

During the audit, the staff made the following observations.

  • The title of LRA Table 4.3.1-3, CPNPP 60-year Transients Normal Condition Auxiliary System Transient Events, indicates that this table describes the transients for the auxiliary systems and their 60-year projected cycles. However, the LRA does not clearly describe differences between this table and LRA Table 4.3.1-4 that also addresses auxiliary system transients.
  • The title of LRA Table 4.3.1-4 is CPNPP 60-year Projected Transient Cycles For Auxiliary System Transients and Applicable Components. The staff noted that the following reference describes the detailed design transients associated with the piping systems listed in LRA Table 4.3.1-4 (

Reference:

LTR-SDA-II-21-32-P/NP, Revision 2, Comanche Peak Unit 1 and 2 License Renewal: Class 2 and 3 Piping Fatigue Evaluation). However, the LRA does not clearly describe whether LRA Table 4.3.1-4 includes the transient cycle projections for non-Class 1 piping systems other than the auxiliary piping systems.

The staff also audited the description of the LRA TLAA on 60-year cycle projections for Class 1, 2 and 3 components provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the guidance provided in the SRP-LR.

LRA TLAA Section 4.3.2, ASME Section III, Class 1 Fatigue Analysis of Piping, Piping Components, and Equipment Summary of Information in the Application. LRA Section 4.3.2, ASME Section III, Class 1 Fatigue Analysis of Piping, Piping Components, and Equipment, discusses the fatigue TLAA for ASME Code,Section III, Class 1 piping, components and equipment. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

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.

  • LRA Section 4.3.2 indicates that the reactor coolant pumps conform to the waiver of fatigue requirements of ASME Code,Section III and therefore do not require a detailed fatigue evaluation. However, the LRA does not describe specific ASME Code provisions that the applicant used in the fatigue waiver evaluation. Additionally, the Unit 1 letdown flow shutoff with prompt return to service transient is projected to have 60-year cycles greater than the 40-year design cycles. It is unclear to the staff whether the projected cycles greater than the 40-year design cycles do not affect the validity of the fatigue waiver evaluation.

The staff also audited the description of the LRA TLAA for ASME Code,Section III, Class 1 piping, components and equipment provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the guidance provided in the SRP-LR.

LRA TLAA Section 4.3.3, ASME Section III, Class 2 and 3 Allowable Stress Analyses Summary of Information in the Application. LRA Section 4.3.3, ASME Section III, Class 2 and 3 Allowable Stress Analyses, discusses the fatigue TLAA for the allowable stress of ASME Code,Section III, Class 2 and 3 piping lines. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

Audit Activities. The table below lists documents that were reviewed by the staff and were found relevant to the TLAA. The staff will document its review of this information in the SE.

During the audit, the staff made the following observations.

  • As discussed in the audit report section for 60-year cycle projections (LRA Section 4.3.1), the title of LRA Table 4.3.1-4 is CPNPP 60-year Projected Transient Cycles For Auxiliary System Transients and Applicable Components. The staff noted that the following reference describes the detailed design transients associated with the piping systems listed in LRA Table 4.3.1-4 (

Reference:

LTR-SDA-II-21-32-P/NP, Revision 2, Comanche Peak Unit 1 and 2 License Renewal: Class 2 and 3 Piping Fatigue Evaluation). However, the LRA does not clearly describe whether LRA Table 4.3.1-4 includes the transient cycle projections for non-Class 1 piping systems other than the auxiliary piping systems.

The staff also audited the description of the LRA TLAA for the allowable stress of ASME Code,Section III, Class 2 and 3 piping lines provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the guidance provided in the SRP-LR.

LRA TLAA Section 4.3.4, Environmentally Assisted Fatigue Summary of Information in the Application. LRA Section 4.3.4, Environmentally Assisted Fatigue, discusses the EAF TLAA for ASME Code,Section III, Class 1 pressure boundary piping and components. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

Audit Activities. The table below lists documents that were reviewed by the staff and were found relevant to the TLAA. The staff will document its review of this information in the SE.

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). 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.

  • LRA Section 4.3.4 indicates that, in the detailed evaluation of EAF for sentinel (limiting) location identification, the applicant considered the technical rigor of different stress analysis methods and the level of conservatism associated with the stress analysis methods. The LRA explains that the results of determining the technical rigor and the associated conservatism are the stress analysis method rankings for EAF locations (also called stress basis comparison rankings). The LRA also indicates that EAF locations with the lower screening CUFen values and lower rankings may be removed from the sentinel location list in comparison with the other EAF locations. However, the applicant did not clearly discuss the stress analysis method rankings and their technical bases. In addition, the staff needs clarification on whether EAF locations are removed from the sentinel location list only if both the screening CUFen value and stress analysis method ranking are lower than those of a more limiting location, respectively.
  • LRA Table 4.3.4-2 describes the sentinel locations of EAF for piping lines and the associated 60-year projected CUFen values. The table identifies only SS as a fabrication material of piping lines and does not include carbon steel, low alloy steel or nickel-alloy.

In contrast, LRA 4.3.4 indicates that the sentinel location is identified for each material type in a given transient section, which is a group of subcomponents and locations that experience the same transients. In addition, LRA Section 4.7.1 indicates that the reactor vessel nozzle welds are fabricated with nickel-alloys. It is unclear to the staff whether the limiting locations in Table 4.3.4-1 or 4.3.4-2 are bounding for the nickel-alloy weld locations of the reactor vessel nozzle in terms of CUFen and environmental fatigue correction factor (Fen) in the EAF analysis.

  • The following document indicates that there was a need to revise the CUEen calculations for the accumulator nozzles based on corrections to 60-year transient cycle projections

(

Reference:

Westinghouse CN-SDA-II-21-003-R0-ASMT-1, Assessment Record of CN-SDA-II-21-003 for CAP IR-2022-6325, 8/18/2022). The reference document indicates that the 60-year projection cycles of the following transients needed to be corrected: (1) refueling transient; (2) tube leak test transient; (3) accumulator line refueling transient; (4) reactor coolant system (RCS) venting transient; (5) reactor vessel stud tensioning transient; (6) accumulator check valve test transient. Specifically, the projected cycles of the refueling transient and tube leak test transient are used in the EAF analysis for the accumulator nozzles. However, the revised 60-year CUFen value for the crotch region of the nozzle (180 degree location) in the reference, also called analysis Section Number 20, is not consistent with that listed in LRA Table 4.3.4-2.

The staff also audited the description of the LRA EAF TLAA for ASME Code,Section III, Class 1 pressure boundary piping and components provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff found that sufficient information was not available to determine whether the description provided in the FSAR supplement was an adequate description of the LRA EAF TLAA.

LRA Section 4.3.4 indicates that the EAF TLAA is dispositioned in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii) and the aging effects of EAF will be managed by using the Fatigue Monitoring AMP and Steam Generators AMP. In contrast, the FSAR supplement cites 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii) instead of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii) as a TLAA disposition. The staff will 84

consider issuing an RAI in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the FSAR supplement program description.

LRA TLAA Section 4.3.5, Reactor Vessel Internals Fatigue Analyses Summary of Information in the Application. LRA Section 4.3.5, Reactor Vessel Internals Fatigue Analyses, discusses the fatigue TLAA for reactor vessel internals. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

Audit Activities. The table below lists documents that were reviewed by the staff and were found relevant to the TLAA. The staff will document its review of this information in the SE.

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.

  • LRA Section 4.3.5 indicates that the following reference includes the most recent fatigue evaluations in the CPNPP CLB for reactor vessel internals (

Reference:

WCAP-16840-NP, Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant Stretch Power Uprate Licensing Report, Rev. 0). The staff noted a potential inconsistency in the design transients between LRA Table 4.3.1-2 and WCAP-16840-NP, Table 2.2.6-1. Specifically, LRA Table 4.3.1-2 includes the bypass line tempering valve transient, which is only applicable to CPNPP Unit 2 and has 20 design cycles. However, this transient is not included in WCAP-16840-NP, Table 2.2.6-1. In addition, WCAP-16840-NP, Table 2.2.6-1 includes the split flow bypass valve transient, which is only applicable to CPNPP Unit 2 and has 40 design cycles. However, this transient is not included in LRA Table 4.3.1-2.

The staff also audited the description of the LRA fatigue TLAA for reactor vessel internals provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the guidance provided in the SRP-LR.

LRA TLAA Section 4.3.6, High-Energy Line Break Summary of Information in the Application. LRA Section 4.3.6, High-Energy Line Break, discusses the HELB TLAA for high-energy piping lines. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

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.

  • LRA Section 4.3.6 indicates that the time-limited portion of the HELB analysis is related to the screening criterion of a CUF value 0.1 for break location postulation. In comparison, FSAR, Section 3.6B.2 describes the CLB screening criteria that are used to determine the intermediate locations of postulated breaks for the HELB analyses.

Specifically, FSAR Section 3.6B2.1.2 indicates that the CUF value of 0.1 is included in the screening criteria for HELB location postulation for ASME Code,Section III, Class 1 piping. FSAR Section 3.6.B2.1.2 also indicates that the postulation of HELB locations for ASME Code non-Class 1 piping is, in part, based on the allowable stress range for expansion stress (SA), consistent with Branch Technical Position MEB 3-1 (ML052340555). SA may need to be adjusted by a stress range reduction factor that is determined by the number of thermal cycles, as addressed in the implicit fatigue analysis in LRA Section 4.3.3. However, LRA Section 4.3.6 does not clearly discuss whether the HELB location postulation for ASME Code non-Class 1 piping, which involves SA, is a basis for identifying the HELB analysis as a TLAA. In addition, LRA Section 4.3.6 does not address whether additional break locations and their effects will be evaluated in the HELB analyses as part of corrective actions under the Fatigue Monitoring AMP if new additional piping break locations are identified based on (1) the CUF threshold of 0.1 or (2) the reduction in SA.

The staff also audited the description of the LRA HELB TLAA for high-energy piping lines provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff also audited the description of the LRA HELB TLAA for high-energy lines provided in the FSAR supplement. The staff verified this description is consistent with the guidance provided in the SRP-LR.

LRA TLAA Section 4.4, Environmental Qualification of Electrical Equipment Summary of Information in the Application. LRA Section 4.4, Environmental Qualification of Electrical Equipment, discusses the thermal, radiation, and cyclical aging analyses for the plant electrical and I&C components. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

Date DBD-CS-074 Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Units 1 & 2, Revision 8 Design-Basis Document, Containment Liner and 02/05/2008 Penetrations During the audit of the TLAAs, 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, due to lack of clarity, 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 or use a voluntary LRA supplement offered by the applicant during the audit.

During the audit, the staff made the following observations:

  • The staff reviewed Section 3.1 of LUM00020-REPT-0082, Revision 1, and pages 51, 67-68, 81-83 of Calculation 16345/6-CS(B)-028, Revision 1, and verified that the six fatigue waiver conditions of the ASME Code,Section III, Division 1, Subsection NB-3222.4(d) E were documented and satisfied for the carbon steel containment liner plate in accordance with NE-3131(d) and NB-3222.4.
  • The staff reviewed Section 3.2 of LUM00020-REPT-0082, Revision 1, and pages 51, 59.4 thru 59.9 of Calculation 16345-CS(B)-015, Revision 6, and verified that the six fatigue waiver conditions of the ASME Code,Section III, Division 1, Subsection NB-3222.4(d) E were documented and satisfied for the carbon steel containment process piping hot penetrations (main steam, feedwater, steam generator blowdown penetrations) in accordance with NE-3131(d) and NB-3222.4.
  • The staff noted that there was a lack of clarity in LRA Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 and their FSAR supplements regarding the material based on which the fatigue waiver analyses were performed and how it was bounding or representative of the other materials of the containment liner (including anchors and integral attachments) and containment penetrations.
  • The staff also noted that the FSAR supplement in LRA Section A.3.5.1 did not describe the cycles considered for all the transients that were used in the fatigue waiver analysis of the containment liner plate.

The staff also audited the descriptions of the LRA TLAAs for Containment Liner Plate Fatigue and Containment Penetrations Fatigue provided in the FSAR supplement in LRA Section A.3.5.1 and LRA Section A.3.5.2, respectively. The staff found that sufficient clarity of information was not available to determine whether the description provided in the FSAR supplement was an adequate description of the LRA TLAAs Containment Liner Plate Fatigue and Containment Penetrations Fatigue. The staff will consider issuing RAIs or use a voluntary supplement offered by the applicant during the audit in order to obtain the information necessary to verify the sufficiency of the FSAR supplement program descriptions.

LRA TLAA Section 4.7.1, Leak-Before-Break Summary of Information in the Application: LRA Section 4.7.1 Leak-Before-Break describes the Comanche Peak TLAA on the leak-before-break (LBB) evaluation for the RCS piping.

CPNPP dispositioned the TLAA with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii) for the reactor coolant primary loop 88

piping and dispositioned the TLAA with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i) for accumulator injection lines, residual heat removal (RHR) lines, and pressurizer surge lines.

Audit Activities: In addition to the OE documentation contained in the LRA and ePortal, the staff conducted additional searches of the applicants CAP database, using keywords: leak-before-break, rupture, crack, leak rate, leaks in RCS primary piping, through wall leaks in RCS primary piping.

The table below lists the documents that were reviewed by the staff and were found to be relevant to TLAA Section 4.7.1, Leak-Before-Break. These documents were identified in the staffs search of the CPNPP operating experience database. During the audit of the operating experience program element, the staffs independent database search did not identify any OE that would indicate the LBB analysis may not be adequate to manage the aging effects.

During the audit, the staff reviewed plant documentation associated with the AMR discussed in LRA Section 3.6.2.2.2 and the following:

  • LRA Table 3.6-1, Summary of Aging Management Evaluations for Electrical Commodities, Item Number 3.6-1, 002 - High-voltage insulators composed of porcelain; malleable iron; aluminum; galvanized steel; cement exposed to air - outdoor
  • LRA Table 3.6-1, Item Number 3.6-1, 003 - High-voltage insulators composed of porcelain; malleable iron; aluminum; galvanized steel; cement exposed to air - outdoor The LRA states that high-voltage (HV) insulators are subject to AMR if they are necessary for restoration of offsite power following a station blackout (SBO) event. The HV insulators evaluated for Comanche Peak LR are those used to support uninsulated, HV electrical components such as transmission conductors. The LRA notes that based on the type of HV insulators, the plant-specific configuration of the conductors connected to the insulators, and environmental conditions at the plant the type of aging mechanisms identified in the GALL-LR Report are not applicable to the HV insulators at CPNPP, Units 1 and 2. The applicant considers current inspection process as adequate.

Audit Activities. To support its audit of the program, the staff also conducted an onsite audit. On January 31 - February 1, 2023, the staff participated in an onsite audit at CPNPP where the staff interviewed the applicants staff and performed walkdowns of the CPNPP, Units 1 and 2.

Specifically, the staff observed HV insulators associated with the LRA. The staff did not identify any adverse or abnormal conditions with HV insulators during the walkdowns. During the onsite audit, the applicant confirmed that the type of aging parameters, for HV insulators, identified in the GALL-LR Report had not been experienced at the CPNPP, Units 1 and 2, and therefore had not developed a program for LR.

The table below lists documents that were reviewed by the staff and were found relevant to the LRA further evaluation section listed above. The staff will document its review of this information in the SE.

The cause is mostly old age of the insulators and improper repairs. This also applies to the following ARs:

1866231, 2086837, 2266011 97

During the audit, the staff made the following observations:

  • The CPNPP, Units 1 and 2, switchyard has both porcelain and polymer type of HV insulators. The LRA did not identify any adverse events documented via the CAP. In report # LUM00020-REPT-035, the applicant stated that visual inspections of the switchyard are performed on an annual basis. These inspections include a ground-based inspection (using binoculars) of polymer dead-end HV insulators for loose hardware, corrosion, damaged insulators, and indications of corona on polymer composite dead ends. These inspections also include an inspection for bird nests at the base of under hung insulators. Any anomalies discovered during these routine inspections would warrant their replacement in a timely manner. The staff notes that the applicant concluded that the periodic inspections and the absence of plant-specific OE verifies that this aging effect is not significant for polymer HV insulators associated with the offsite power system required for recovery from an SBO event and no updates to existing maintenance programs or plant licensing documents is required.

LRA AMR FE Section 3.6.2.2.3, Loss of Material Due to Wind-Induced Abrasion, Loss of Conductor Strength Due to Corrosion, and Increased Resistance of Connection Due to Oxidation or Loss of Preload for Transmission Conductors, Switchyard Bus, and Connections Summary of Information in the Application. During the audit, the staff reviewed plant documentation associated with the AMR discussed in LRA Section 3.6.2.2.3 and the following:

  • LRA Table 3.6-1, Summary of Aging Management Evaluations for Electrical Commodities, Item Number Table 3.6-1, 004 - Transmission conductors composed of aluminum; steel exposed to air - outdoor
  • LRA Table 3.6.1, Item Number 3.6-1, 005 - Transmission connectors composed of aluminum; steel exposed to air - outdoor
  • LRA Table 3.6.1, Item Number 3.6-1, 006 - Switchyard bus and connections composed of aluminum; copper; bronze; stainless steel; galvanized steel exposed to air - outdoor
  • LRA Table 3.6.1, Item Number 3.6-1, 007 - Transmission conductors composed of aluminum; steel exposed to air - outdoor
  • LRA Table 3.6.1, Item Number 3.6-1, 020 - Transmission conductors composed of aluminum exposed to air - outdoor The LRA states that transmission conductors are subject to AMR if they are necessary for restoration of offsite power following a SBO event. At Comanche Peak, a common overhead transmission line from the 138 kilo Volt (kV) switchyard to startup transformer XST1 and alternate startup transformer XST1A coupled with a common overhead line from the 345kV switchyard to startup transformer XST2 and alternate startup transformer XST2A support SBO recovery paths.

Audit Activities. To support its audit of the program, the staff also conducted an onsite audit. On January 31 - February 1, 2023, the staff participated in an onsite audit at CPNPP where the staff interviewed the applicants staff and performed walkdowns of the CPNPP, Units 1 and 2.

The applicant eliminated fuses in the EQ program, spare fuses, and fuses located in active 99

devices such as switchgear, power, supplies, power inverters, battery chargers, and circuit boards. The LRA also states that fuse holders that were inside panels, racks, and termination cabinets were also considered to be part of active equipment consistent with the guidance provided in ISG-5 and were eliminated from the AMR. The LRA further states that the applicants screening process determined that CPNPP has no fuses supporting a system intended function that are not part of an active equipment such as switchgear, power supplies, power inverters, battery chargers, load centers, and circuit boards. In the LRA, the applicant concluded that fuses and fuse holders are considered piece parts of the active equipment, and therefore, the fuse holders (metallic clamps) are not subject to AMR. LRA Section 2.5.1.3, Elimination of Electrical and I&C Commodity Groups Not Applicable to CPNPP, included a similar conclusion.

Document Date LUM00020-REPT- Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2 License Renewal Revision 1 034 Screening - Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls LUM00020-REPT- Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2 License Renewal Revision 1 035 Aging Management Review - Electrical and I&C Commodities During the audit, the staff made the following observations:

  • The staffs audit addressed only the applicants assessment for panels, racks, and termination cabinets as active equipment and the location of Class 1E fuses associated with LR.
  • The CPNPP FSAR, Section 8.3.1.2.1, Compliance, page 8.3-40, described Class 1E fuses that protect isolation devices through which conductors are routed to terminal blocks within Class 1E electronics boxes.
  • Based on the guidance in ISG-5, panels, racks, and termination cabinets would be considered active components if they include active electrical/electronic components.

The applicant did not list racks and termination cabinets as electrical and I&C component commodity group in the LRA, Table 2.5-1, Electrical and I&C Component Commodity Groups Installed at CPNPP. During the audit, the applicant clarified that the panels, racks, and termination cabinets include active components; the panels and termination cabinets are included in the distribution panels listed in Table 2.5-1; and the racks are instrument racks (structural element) that support instruments, indicators, or elements, which are listed in Table 2.5-1. The applicant noted that it will supplement the LRA with information that clarifies the screening of the panels, racks, and termination cabinets.

  • Based on the description of the Class 1E fuses on page 8.3-40 of the FSAR, it was not clear to the staff if the Class 1E fuses are inside an active electrical equipment/enclosure/electronic box or in a passive enclosure. During the audit, the applicant clarified that the above-mentioned Class 1E fuses in the FSAR are inside the 100

electronic boxes that contained active electrical components, and therefore, they are screened out of AMR.

3. Supplements to the LRA By letters dated April 6, 2023 (ML23096A302) and April 24, 2023 (ML23114A377), Vistra OpCo voluntarily submitted two supplements to the LRA resulting from discussions held during the audit.
4. Audit Questions Provided to Vistra OpCo Over the course of the audit, the NRC staff provided audit questions to Vistra OpCo to facilitate the audit discussions (ML23172A147).
