SLRA Consistency with Electrical Aging Management Criteria
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1 Page 1 of 7 SLRA Consistency with Electrical Aging Management Criteria Update SLRA to maintain program consistency with SLR-ISG-2021-04-Electrical Affected SLRA Sections: A.2.2.38, A.2.2.40, Table A-3, B.2.3.38, and B.2.3.40 SLRA Page Numbers: A-32, A-34, A-96, A-97, B-261, B-263, B-272 Description of Change:
SLRA is updated to include the word potentially, in order to maintain consistency with the SLR-ISG-2021-04-Electrical (ML20181A395).
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1 Page 2 of 7 SLRA Section A.2.2.38 on page A-32 is revised to insert the following in the first paragraph:
A.2.2.38 Electrical Insulation for Inaccessible MediumVoltage Power Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements The MNGP Electrical Insulation for Inaccessible MediumVoltage Power Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements AMP is an existing AMP. The purpose of this AMP is to provide reasonable assurance that the intended functions of inaccessible mediumvoltage power cables (operating voltages of 2 kV to 35 kV) that are not subject to the EQ requirements of 10 CFR 50.49 are maintained consistent with the CLB through the SPEO. This AMP applies to inaccessible or underground (e.g., installed in buried conduit, embedded raceway, cable trenches, cable troughs, duct banks, vaults, manholes, or directburied installations) nonEQ mediumvoltage power cables within the scope of SLR that are potentially exposed to wetting or submergence (i.e., significant moisture). Significant moisture is defined as exposure to moisture that lasts more than three days (i.e., longterm wetting or submergence over a continuous period),
which if left unmanaged, could potentially lead to a loss of intended function. Cable wetting or submergence that occurs for a limited time as drainage from either automatic or passive drains is not considered significant moisture for this AMP.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1 Page 3 of 7 SLRA Section A.2.2.40 on page A-34 is revised to insert the following in the first paragraph:
A.2.2.40 Electrical Insulation for Inaccessible LowVoltage Power Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements The MNGP Electrical Insulation for Inaccessible LowVoltage Power Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements AMP is a new AMP. The purpose of this AMP is to provide reasonable assurance that the intended functions of inaccessible and underground lowvoltage AC and DC power cables (i.e., typical operating voltage of less than 1,000 V, but no greater than 2 kV) that are not subject to EQ requirements of 10 CFR 50.49 are maintained consistent with the CLB through the SPEO. This AMP applies to inaccessible and underground (e.g.,
installed in buried conduit, embedded raceway, cable trenches, cable troughs, duct banks, vaults, manholes, or direct buried installations) lowvoltage power cables, including those designed for continuous wetting or submergence, within the scope of SLR that are potentially exposed to significant moisture. Inscope inaccessible and underground lowvoltage power cable splices subjected to wetting or submergence are also included within the scope of this program. Significant moisture is defined as exposure to moisture that lasts more than three days (i.e., long term wetting or submergence over a continuous period) that if left unmanaged, could potentially lead to a loss of intended function. Cable wetting or submergence that results from eventdriven occurrences and is mitigated by either automatic or passive drains is not considered significant moisture for the purposes of this AMP.

3 Clari"cation of Transients Not Counted in the Fatigue Monitoring AMP
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 3 Page 1 of 5 Clarification of Transients Not Counted in the Fatigue Monitoring AMP Provide clarification about transients that are not counted in the Fatigue Monitoring AMP Affected SLRA Sections: 4.3.1, A.2.1.1, Table A-3, B.2.2.1 SLRA Page Numbers: 4.3-2, A-10, A-11, A-54, B-24 Description of Change:
There are six (6) transients listed in SLRA Section 4.3.1 that do not have Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP data:
Reactor Overpressure @ 1375 psig
Hydrostatic Test to 1560 psig
Rapid Blowdown
Liquid Poison Flow @ 80F
Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) events
Safety Relief Valve Actuations Clarification is provided to address why these transients are missing from the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP.
OBE events are clarified to have a large enough margin that this event does not require monitoring by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP.
Safety Relief Valve (SRV) actuations are monitored and tracked annually by plant surveillance.
This transient will be added back into the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP via enhancement to the program.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 3 Page 2 of 5 SLRA Section 4.3.1 on page 4.3-2 is revised to add the following clarifications:
Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) program data does not list the following transients from the USAR list because either the transient has not occurred to date or because of other reasons explicitly listed below. The analyzed limits in the MNGP fatigue analysis associated with each transient are included in the following list:
Reactor Overpressure @ 1375 psig 1 cycle
Hydrostatic Test to 1560 psig 3 cycles
Rapid Blowdown 1 cycle
Liquid Poison Flow @ 80F 10 cycles
Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) events 50 cycles
Safety/ Relief Valve Actuations 934 cycles With the exception of the Hydrostatic Test to 1560 psig, which is performed prior to plant operation (2 events were listed in the LRA), and Safety/ Relieve Valve Actuations (506 events were listed in the LRA), none of these events have has occurred to date. Other than OBE and S/RV actuations, the above listed transients are typically classified as Emergency events and are not expected to occur during the remaining operating life of MNGP; so zero events are projected for 80 years of operation. For the OBE event, 1 cycle is projected to ensure that, in the unlikely event it occurs it will have been accounted for.
The OBE event, which has had zero occurrences in over 52 years of MNGP operations, is conservatively projected to have 1 cycle out of the analysis limit of 50 for the remaining licensed operation and throughout the SPEO. With this conservative projection of 1 OBE, there would remain a margin of 98% for the fatigue analysis limit. Therefore, OBE counting is excluded from the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 3 Page 3 of 5 SLRA Section A.2.1.1 on pages A-10 and A-11 is revised to add the following clarification:
A.2.1.1 Fatigue Monitoring The MNGP Fatigue Monitoring AMP is an existing preventive program that manages fatigue damage of the reactor pressure vessel components, reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) piping components, and other components. This AMP provides an acceptable basis for managing fatigue of components that are subject to fatigue or other types of cyclical loading TLAAs (Sections A.3.3 and A.3.5) to provide reasonable assurance that they remain valid in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1)(iii). The program monitors and tracks the number of occurrences of design basis transients assessed in the applicable fatigue or cyclical loading analyses, including those in applicable American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section III, Class 1 cumulative usage factor (CUF) analyses, fatigue waivers, environmentalassisted fatigue analyses (CUFen analyses), and maximum allowable stress range reduction/expansion stress analyses for ANSI B31.1 components. No cyclebased flaw growth, flaw tolerance, or fracture mechanics analyses that are based on cyclebased loading assumptions have been dispositioned in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii), therefore this program does not apply to flaw growth, flaw tolerance, or fracture mechanics analyses.

Table C3 BWRVIP315, Reactor Internals Aging Management Evaluation for Extended Operations Action Item Description MNGP Response BWRVIP-183-A (BWRVIP-315)
To implement the guidance in BWRVIP-315, BWRVIP-183-A requires enhancement and revision as shown in BWRVIP-315 in order to address operation beyond 60 years. These changes include reporting requirements for flaw evaluations which do not conform to BWRVIP acceptance criteria.
The guidance provided regarding flaw evaluations and reporting requirements is incorporated into the BWR Vessel Internals AMP (B.2.3.7) through Table A-3 Commitment 10a.
BWRVIP-315 (Limitation 1)
Core plate holddown bolting is subject to a plant-specific evaluation or to augmented inspections if the criteria for use of the generic evaluation documented in BWRVIP-25-R1-A cannot be met. BWRVIP-25-R1-A provides guidance for performing such a plant-specific evaluation. The relevant limitation applicable to extended operation is core plate holddown bolt fluence.
SLRA Appendix C Table C-2 addresses the BWRVIP-25-R1-A licensee action item. The TLAA in SLRA Section 4.2.9 describes the loss of preload for core plate rim holddown bolts. This evaluation concluded that the criteria of Appendix I of BWRVIP-25-R1-A are satisfied at MNGP.
BWRVIP-315 (Limitation 2)
BWRVIP-47-A provides for a set of baseline examinations of CRGTs. Section 3.2.2 of BWRVIP-47-A states:
Currently no additional inspections are recommended beyond the baseline inspections described in Section 3.2.2, and scope expansion and follow-on inspections deemed necessary in the event flaws are found as given in Section 3.2.3. Baseline inspection results will be reviewed by the BWRVIP and, if deemed necessary, reinspection recommendations will be developed at a later date and provided to the NRC.
Since the BWRVIP has not yet completed In 2009 MNGP completed the baseline examinations of the CRGT-1, CRGT-2, CRGT-3, and FS/GT-ARPIN-1 locations as described in Section 3.2.2 of BWRVIP47A with no recordable indications observed.
MNGP is committed to implementing any reinspection recommendations provided by BWRVIP. While the potential for reinspection recommendations continues to be evaluated, MNGP currently shuffles the control rod blades each refueling outage which will provide indications of any gross failures. Control rod blade replacement has not been required in recent years but are expected to begin to
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 4 Page 7 of 9 an evaluation to assess reinspection needs in a manner that considers extended operations, until such time as a new version of BWRVIP-47-A is developed, owners submitting an application for operation beyond 60 years (e.g., an SLRA in the U.S.) should either commit to implementing a future version of BWRVIP-47-A that addresses extended operations or propose a set of plant-specific activities to manage age-related degradation of CRGTs.
be required one year prior to the SPEO.
Consistent with BWRVIP-47-A Section 3.2.5, during maintenance activities outside of normal outage activities a visual examination is performed to the extent practical with results reported to BWRVIP and subsequently forwarded to the NRC.
BWRVIP-315 (Limitation 3)
Jet pump and LPCI coupling CASS components subjected to fluence exceeding 6x1020 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV) must be evaluated on a plant-specific basis or be included in a plant-specific aging management program. This limitation is based on the fluence criterion contained in BWRVIP-234-A.
The MNGP vessel internals do not include LPCI couplings and as such this component is not applicable for evaluation.
Vessel internals components subject to screening for end of life fluence are evaluated in Section 3.1.2.2.13 and Section 4.2.1.2. The maximum fluence projected for the MNGP jet pump components exceeds the screening threshold and as such will be inspected periodically for cracking and loss of fracture toughness (embrittlement) during the SPEO in accordance with the BWR Vessel Internals AMP (B.2.3.7). For periodic jet pump assembly inspections, the MNGP BWR Vessel Internals AMP (B.2.3.7) utilizes the recommendations provided in BWRVIP-41-R4-A "BWR Jet Pump Assembly Inspection and Flaw Evaluation Guidelines".
This is consistent with the BWRVIP-315 Action Item associated with BWRVIP R4-A in this table.
BWRVIP-315 (Limitation 4)
A scope expansion exemption is provided within BWRVIP-41-R4-A for large diameter jet pump diffuser, adapter, and lower ring welds (DF-1, DF-2, DF-3, AD-1, AD-2, and AD-3a,b) inspected by UT. As currently included in BWRVIP R4-A, the exemption is based on an assumption of a 60-year service life. As Consistent with the expected revision to BWRVIP-41-R4-A documented in BWRVIP-315 Section B.1.2, MNGP does not intend to implement the inspection exemptions for IGSCC in jet pump components for an interval longer than 24 continuous years.
This is consistent with the BWRVIP-315
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 4 Page 8 of 9 discussed in Section 4.3.8, this exemption will be revised to be interval-based (24-year intervals allowed) rather than based on a 60-year service life. Until such time as BWRVIP-41-R4-A is revised, use of the scope expansion exemption allowance should be limited to plants not intending to operate beyond 60 years.
Action Item associated with BWRVIP R4-A in this table.
BWRVIP-315 (Limitation 5)
Jet pump holddown beams subject to neutron fluence exceeding 5x1020 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV) in the BB-2 region require plant-specific evaluation to address IASCC concerns. This limitation is applicable to BWRVIP-41-R4-A.
Vessel internals components are subject to screening for end of life fluence values are evaluated in Section 3.1.2.2.12 and Section 4.2.10. The maximum fluence projected for the MNGP jet pump components exceeds the screening threshold and as such will be inspected periodically for cracking during the SPEO in accordance with the BWR Vessel Internals AMP (B.2.3.7). For periodic jet pump assembly inspections, the MNGP BWR Vessel Internals AMP (B.2.3.7) utilizes the recommendations provided in BWRVIP-41-R4-A "BWR Jet Pump Assembly Inspection and Flaw Evaluation Guidelines".
This is consistent with the BWRVIP-315 Action Item associated with BWRVIP R4-A in this table.
BWRVIP-315 (Limitation 6)
Jet pump holddown beams having peak neutron fluence exceeding 7.0x1020 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV) for Group 2 beams or 5.8x1020 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV) for Group 3 beams require plant-specific disposition.
This limitation ensures that sufficient preload to prevent jet pump disassembly and potential damage is maintained.
Plant-specific disposition may include refined analysis to demonstrate adequate preload remains for operation at higher neutron fluences. Alternatively, plants may replace or re-tension beams with neutron fluence exceeding the threshold value.
Monticello has Group 2 beams subject to a screening threshold of 7.0x1020 n/cm2 for irradiation-enhanced stress relaxation. The projected 72 EFPY fluence for the holddown beam is below the screening threshold. Additionally, all MNGP holddown beams were replaced in 1982 and as such, will not be exposed to the 72 EFPY of fluence assumed in the fast neutron fluence projections. Therefore, a plant-specific disposition is not necessary as there is no expected loss of intended function.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 4 Page 9 of 9 BWRVIP-315 (Limitation 7)
Core shroud tie rod repairs require plant-specific evaluation. Inspections should, as a minimum, meet the requirements listed in BWRVIP-76-R1-A. However, additional evaluations must be performed to address aging management associated with operation beyond the original repair hardware service life specified by the designer.
This limitation is not applicable to MNGP.
MNGP does not have core shroud repair hardware installed.
5 Components Susceptible to Irradiation-Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC)
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 5 Page 1 of 5 Components Susceptible to Irradiation-Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC)
Components susceptible to IASCC Affected SLRA Sections: 4.2.10, Table 4.2.10-1, Appendix A, Section A.3.2.10 SLRA Page Numbers: 4.2-30, 4.2-31, 4.2-32, A-45 Description of Change:
The dry tube and guide tube assemblies neutron fluence values from SLRA Table 4.2.1.2-1 shows that the in-core instrument dry tubes and guide tubes exceed the 5E+20 fluence threshold for IASCC that is discussed in SLRA section 4.2.10. Section 4.2.10 is revised to add the detail as to why the dry tube and guide tube assemblies do not require a TLAA.
The core support plate neutron fluence values from SLRA Table 4.2.1.2-1 shows that the core support plate fluence exceeds the 5E+20 fluence threshold for IASCC that is discussed in SLRA section 4.2.10. Section 4.2.10 is revised to add the detail as to why the core support plate does not require a TLAA.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 5 Page 2 of 5 SLRA Section 4.2.10, TLAA Evaluation Subsection on page 4.2-30 is revised to insert the following:
TLAA Evaluation BWRVIP315, Reactor Internals Aging Management Evaluation for Extended Operations evaluated RVI components for various aging mechanisms including IASCC. Table C1 of BWRVIP315 identifies the components subjected to further evaluation for Item 3.1.2.2.12 (IASCC) and the corresponding BWRVIP assessment. The following components have plausible IASCC for a BWR during SPEO that would be managed by existing guidance with clarification specific to the aging mechanism of IASCC:
Control rod guide tube (CRGT) Assembly
Jet Pump Riser, Riser Brace, Inlet and Mixer
Core Shroud Beltline Cylinder
Top Guide
Instrument Dry Tubes*
Instrument Guide Tubes*
Core Support Plate
- Table C-1 of BWRVIP-315 concludes that dry tubes (the components listed in this line item which are exposed to significant neutron fluence) do not require augmented inspections under the BWRVIP reactor internals AMP. This conclusion is based on an assessment of the safety impact of cracking and the potential to detect dry tube leakage by means other than direct inspection of the dry tubes. For MNGP, the BWR-3 design does not include a LPCI coupling so this component does not apply. The projected fluence values for the remaining components are summarized in Table 4.2.10-1.

Instrument Dry Tubes and Instrument Guide Tubes Fluence values for the MNGP instrument dry tubes and instrument guide tubes are projected to exceed the threshold of 5.0 x 1020 n/cm2 before the end of the SPEO (Table 4.2.1.2-1). However, the dry tubes and instrument guide tubes do not require inspections. As indicated in BWRVIP-315, inspections are not required since there are no adverse safety consequences associated with failure. In addition to the conclusion in BWRVIP-315, both BWRVIP-06 Rev 1-A and BWRVIP-47-A also conclude that any failures would be detectable during normal operation by loss of monitor indications and that, regardless of such indications, failures would not impair shutdown capability.
Core Support Plate Fluence values for the MNGP core support plate are projected to exceed the threshold of 5.0 x 1020 n/cm2 before the end of the SPEO (Table 4.2.1.2-1).
Section 4.3.1 of BWRVIP-315 discusses the Core Support Plate. There are no aging effects requiring management that are impacted by extended operation.
Safety evaluation conclusions are not time-dependent. Elements supporting the degradation assessment conclusions are not time-dependent and are not considered a TLAA. The aging effect of IASCC on the core shroud, top guide, and jet assembly components will be managed in the SPEO in accordance with the MNGP BWR Vessel Internals AMP (B.2.3.7).
TLAA Disposition: 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii)
Aging effects of IASCC and embrittlement on the top guide, core shroud, and jet assembly components will be managed by the BWR Vessel Internals (B.2.3.7) AMP through the SPEO in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

- CRGT1 weld value used for the CRGT assembly. According to Table 4.6 of BWRVIP315, IASCC is applicable for relevant locations located at the upper end of the CRGT assembly. This includes only the uppermost CRGT welds (CRGT1, potentially CRGT2) and the fuel alignment pin weld (FS/GTARPIN1). CRD housings, being below the bottom of the CRGT, experience negligible neutron fluence.
- The in-core instrumentation tube is that segment of the dry tube that resides between the fuel assemblies in the active fuel region. The in-core instrumentation guide tube is that segment of the dry tube that lies below the bottom of active fuel.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 5 Page 5 of 5 SLRA Appendix A, Section A.3.2.10 on page A-45 is revised as follows:
A.3.2.10 Susceptibility to IASCC MNGPs LRA presents a fluence threshold value of 5.0 x 1020 n/cm2 beyond which IASCC and embrittlement may occur in BWR vessel internal components. The LRA concluded that top guide, core shroud, and incore instrumentation dry tubes and guide tubes are susceptible to IASCC for the PEO and concludes that aging management is required through the first PEO. Since this analysis was performed for 60 years, this analysis has been identified as a TLAA that requires evaluation for the SPEO.
Fluence values for the core shroud, top guide, and jet assembly components, core support plate, dry tubes, and instrument guide tubes are projected to exceed the threshold of 5.0 x 1020 n/cm2 before the end of the SPEO. Therefore, the core shroud, top guide, and jet assembly components will be inspected periodically for cracking and loss of fracture toughness (embrittlement) during the SPEO in accordance with the BWR Vessel Internals (Section A.2.2.7) AMP. The core support plate has no aging effects requiring management that are impacted by extended operations. The dry tubes and instrument guide tubes do not require inspections. As indicated in BWRVIP-315, inspections are not required since there are no adverse safety consequences associated with failure. In addition to the conclusion in BWRVIP-315, both BWRVIP-06 Rev 1-A and BWRVIP-47-A also conclude that any failures would be detectable during normal operation by loss of monitor indications and that, regardless of such indications, failures would not impair shutdown capability.
The effects of aging on the intended function(s) of the core shroud, top guide, and jet assembly components will be adequately managed through the SPEO by the BWR Vessel Internals (Section A.2.2.7) program, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 6a Page 2 of 2 SLRA Section B.2.3.27 on page B-197 is updated to include the following:
This AMP manages aging through preventive, mitigative, inspection and performance monitoring activities. The MNGP Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP includes (a) preventive actions to mitigate degradation (e.g., external coatings or wrappings, cathodic protection and quality of backfill), (b) condition monitoring (inspections) (e.g., verification of cathodic protection effectiveness, nondestructive evaluation of pipe or tank wall thicknesses, and visual inspections of the external surfaces and coatings/wraps of pipe or tanks, and internal tank inspections capable of detecting loss of material on the external surface), and (c) performance monitoring activities (e.g., pressure testing of piping, performance monitoring of fire mains) to provide early warning of system leakage. The locations of these inspections will be based on plant OE and opportunities for inspection such as scheduled maintenance work.
These inspections will occur once prior to the SPEO and at least every 10 years during the SPEO. If an opportunity for inspection on non-leaking piping occurs prior to the scheduled inspection, the opportunistic inspection can be credited for satisfying the scheduled inspection.
The MNGP Fire Protection System Flow Test is performed annually which provides data on the Fire Water System more frequently to detect piping degradation of this buried piping. The annual testing is a credited alternative method used at MNGP and is used in lieu of performing two additional inspections of buried piping during each 10-year interval.
6b Add Applicable AMR Items to Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks

This supplement addresses piping between the Reactor and Turbine Buildings that is potentially subjected to wetting from groundwater due to its elevation. Specifically, it addresses piping in the CRD system. Additionally, the AMR of piping in the Off-Gas system that is located in a vault was inadvertently omitted from the SLRA and is being added.
For the CRD and Off-Gas systems, the identified piping was addressed by adding the underground environment to the respective AMRs. The Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP was also added to address aging management for this change in the CRD system.
Additionally, the table of materials and required inspections in Section B.2.3.27 was updated.
Note that changes made to B.2.3.27 on page B-198 in Supplement 2, Enclosure 06a to the SLRA (Reference 1) and to Table 3.4-1, Item 3.4.1-50 on page 3.4-27 in Supplement 2, 6b to the SLRA (Reference 1) are shown in bold, black font.

The further evaluation of SLRA Section 3.3.2.2.3 on page 3.3-23 is revised to add the following paragraph:
Plant-specific OE associated with insulated stainless steel components in the auxiliary systems has been evaluated to determine if prolonged exposure to a condensation environment has resulted in cracking due to SCC. Cracking has not been identified as an aging effect at MNGP for insulated stainless steel components for this environment indicating that moisture intrusion into the insulation and leaching of contaminants present in the insulation onto component surfaces, or onto other components below the insulated component, resulting in SCC has not occurred.
Plant-specific OE associated with underground piping that is occasionally wetted in the CRD system indicates that corrosion of the carbon steel piping is an aging mechanism that requires management. The carbon steel piping was replaced with stainless steel piping to better mitigate future corrosion.
Consistent with the recommendation of GALL-SLR, the Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP will confirm that cracking is not occurring in stainless steel components exposed to an underground environment. Deficiencies will be documented in accordance with the sites 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Section XVI, CAP. The Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP is described in Section B.2.3.27.

The number of inspections for each 10 year inspection period, commencing 10 years prior to the start of SPEO, are based on the inspection quantities noted in NUREG-2191, Table XI.M41-2 for Category C. However, changes in plant specific conditions can result in transitioning to a higher number of inspections than originally planned at the beginning of a 10 year period. For example, degradation of the cathodic protection system, coatings, backfill, or the condition of exposed piping that does not meet acceptance criteria could result in transitioning from Preventive Action Category C to Preventive Action Category F. If alternatives to visual inspections are performed, they will be performed in accordance with NUREG-2191,Section XI.M41, Subsection 4.e.

Element Affected Enhancement
Clarify that inspections of buried and underground piping and tanks within the applicable plant systems will be conducted in accordance with NUREG2191 Table XI.M412 Preventive Action Category F for buried steel and stainless steel piping, unless a reevaluation of cathodic protection performance, future OE, or soil conditions determines that another Preventive Action Category is more applicable.
When the inspections for a given material type is based on percentage of length and results in an inspection quantity of less than 10 feet, then 10 feet of piping is inspected. If the entire run of piping of that material type is less than 10 feet in total length, then the entire run of piping is inspected.
Clarify that the visual inspections will be supplemented with surface and/or volumetric nondestructive testing if evidence of wall loss beyond minor surface scale is observed.
Clarify that, if alternatives to visual inspections are performed, they will be performed in accordance with NUREG-2191,Section XI.M41, Subsection 4.e.
Clarify the guidance for piping inspection location selection as follows: (a) a risk ranking system software incorporates inputs that include coating type, coating condition, cathodic protection efficacy, backfill characteristics, soil resistivity, pipe contents, and pipe function; (b) opportunistic examinations of nonleaking pipes may be credited toward examinations if the location selection criteria are met; and (c) the use of guided wave ultrasonic examinations may not be substituted for the required inspections.

Maximum fast neutron fluence (Energy >1.0 MeV) is specifically reported for the following RPV components. Figure 4.2.1.1-1 illustrates the location of the welds, shell plates, and nozzles in the RPV.
The maximum fluence is reported at 0T, 1/4T, and 3/4T for the following horizontal and vertical welds in the RPV beltline and extended beltline region:
VCBA-2, VCBB-3, VLAA-1, VLAA-2, VLBA-1, VLBA-2, VLCB-1, and VLCB-2.
RPV Shell Courses o
The maximum fluence is reported at 0T, 1/4T, and 3/4T for the following shells in the RPV extended beltline region: Shell Course 1, Shell Course 2, and Shell Course 3.
RPV Nozzles and Extraction Paths o
The maximum fluence is reported at 0T, 1/4T, and 3/4T for each N2 nozzle along the forging-to-base metal welds and the extraction path in the nozzle forgings.
The maximum fluence at 1/4T and 3/4T for each of the components listed above and in the tables within this section of the SLRA was calculated using a plant-specific displacements per atom (dpa) attenuation method of the reactor vessel components and their materials as prescribed and accepted in RG 1.99, Revision 2 (fx = fsurf
- dpax / dpasurf).
SLRA Section 4.2.2 on page 4.2-11 is revised to insert an additional sentence as follows:
Since the USE value is a function of neutron fluence which is associated with a specified operating period, the MNGP USE calculations meet the criteria of 10 CFR 54.3(a) and have been identified as TLAAs requiring evaluation for the 80-year SPEO. The projected 80-year EFPY for MNGP is assumed to be 72 EFPY. The maximum fluence at 72 EFPY at 1/4T for each of the components listed in the tables within this section of the SLRA was calculated using the generic attenuation method as prescribed and accepted in RG 1.99, Revision 2 (fx = fsurf
- e-0.24x).
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 7c Page 3 of 3 SLRA Section 4.2.3 on page 4.2-16 is revised to insert an additional sentence as follows:

The current TLAA section 4.2.2 states:
For the other beltline materials lacking initial USE data, EMA was performed to evaluate the impact of revised fluence projections and available surveillance data on EOL USE reductions.
This statement does not specify the surveillance data considered in the USE evaluation. Section 4.2.3 does not provide a discussion of surveillance data being considered when determining ART.
Sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 are supplemented to identify the sources of the surveillance data used for the USE and ART evaluations. Tables 4.2.2-1, 4.2.2-2, 4.2.2-3, 4.2.2-4, and 4.2.2-5 are changed to reflect corrections to the information in the tables and provide clarification. Editorial changes and references are also added in this change.
Note that the change from Enclosure 07c has been incorporated and shown in bold black font on page 4.2-16.

4.2.2 RPV Materials Upper Shelf Energy (USE) Reduction Due to Neutron Embrittlement TLAA Description Upper-shelf energy (USE) is the standard industry parameter used to indicate the maximum impact toughness of a material at high temperature. 10 CFR 50 Appendix G requires the predicted EOL USE for RPV materials to be at least 50 ft-lb (absorbed energy) unless an approved analysis supports a lower value. The predicted USE drop is determined in accordance with NRC RG 1.99, Revision 2 (Reference 4.7.6), using the equations in the Reactor Vessel Integrity Database Version 2.0 (RVID2)
(Reference 4.7.7) that accurately model the USE decrease curves in RG 1.99. For BWRs that cannot meet the 50 ft-lb criterion, the Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP) has provided a bounding equivalent margins USE analysis (EMA) for plants in Appendix B of BWRVIP-74-A (Reference 4.7.8), which is valid for up to 54 EFPY of operation.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 7d Page 3 of 10 The last paragraph of SLRA Section 4.2.2 on page 4.2-11 is revised as follows:
TLAA Evaluation Evaluation of RPV USE reduction due to neutron embrittlement for MNGP was performed for 80 years. The MNGP RPV materials have limited unirradiated USE data available. Initial unirradiated test data are available for only one plate heat for the MNGP RPV to demonstrate a minimum 50 ft-lb USE by standard methods (Reference 4.7.11). Consequently, for beltline materials lacking initial USE data, EOL USE requirements were evaluated using the EMA methodology. Available surveillance data from the MNGP RPV surveillance programs are included in the present EMA analysis.
Initial USE for the surveillance plate materials is provided in BWRVIP-199 (Reference 4.7.11) and percent copper content for the RPV beltline materials are provided in the most recent evaluation orof ART. Measured USE reduction for the surveillance plate material was obtained for the 30º, 120º, and 300º capsules from BWRVIP-135 (Reference 4.7.39), BWRVIP-347 (Reference 4.7.40), and BWRVIP-199 (Reference 4.7.11), respectively. EOL USE valuespercent reductions are predicted for all beltline materials with unirradiated USE values at 72 EFPY based on RG 1.99 (Position 1.2 and 2.2) with comparison and compared to the bounding USE reductions acceptance criterion of 50 ft-lbcriteria. The EOL USE satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix G if value is above 50 ft-lb. tThe alternate analysis by EMA satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix G for a predicted reduction for EOLin USE values that are a smaller reductionis less than the EMA criteriabounding percent reductions. The predicted reduction uses EMA analysis to determine if the minimum USE exceeds 50 ft-lb, or a value below these thresholds.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 7d Page 4 of 10 SLRA Section 4.2.2 on page 4.2-12 is revised as follows:
Values for unirradiated (initial) USE exist only for the surveillance materials (C2220C2220 and weld materials) and are not available for the other beltline materials. These initial USE values, along with the updated fluence projection, are used to determine the revised USE value for 72 EFPY. For the other beltline materials lacking initial USE values, EMA is performed.
Table 4.2.21 shows the predicted EOL USE values for MNGP beltline materials having initial USE data. The percent USE decrease for the weld material is, based on the RG 1.99 Position 1.2 method. For conservatism, the percent drop in USE for the plates are increased by 14.77 percent which is the difference in percent decrease between the measured The percent USE decrease, and the RG 1.99 predicted percent USE decrease for the surveillance plate heat C2220 was based on the Position 2.2 method (with surveillance data), with the 30o capsule limiting the evaluation for 72 EFPY.
The projected 72 EFPY 1/4T USE value is greater than 50 ftlbs for beltline plate heat No. C2220 materials and for the weld materials for which initial USE data are available. Therefore, the EMA per BWRVIP74A is not required for these materials.
For the other beltline materials lacking initial USE data, EMA was performed to evaluate the impact of revised fluence projections and available surveillance data on EOL USE reductions and shown to be acceptable. The MNGP EMA evaluations are shown in Table 4.2.22 through Table 4.2.25.
The EMA evaluations were compared against the 54 EFPY limits defined in Appendix B of BWRVIP-74-A. The percent decrease is larger due to 80-year fluence, but the USE/EMA remains within the prescribed 54 EFPY limits.
These evaluations demonstrate that EOL USE values for the MNGP beltline materials remain bounded by the EMA evaluation and remain within the limits of RG 1.99 and satisfy the margin requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix G for at least 72 EFPY of operation.
TLAA Disposition: 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii)
The USE analyses have been projected to the end of the SPEO in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii).

(1) These transient events are not included in the USAR listed transient cycles.
(2) Accumulation rate assumed in the 60year projection is higher than actual accumulation with the latest cycle counts as of May 2021. Accumulation rate calculated for 80years results in accumulated cycles less than those originally projected to 60 years.
(3) 15 scrams were identified in Fatigue Monitoring data from 2011 to 2021. This accumulation rate is smaller than what was calculated for 60 years and results in total cycles projected to 80 years equal to that originally projected to 60 years.

(5) The design number of cycles assumed for this event is 20 for the analysis in SLRA Section 4.3.7.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Unit 1 Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 8 Page 4 of 4 SLRA Section 4.3.7 on page 4.3-19 is revised as follows:
For initial screening, Uen was calculated using the bounding Fen for the applicable material and dissolved oxygen zone. Of the four additional locations above, the recirculation outlet nozzle screened out because its bounding Uen was less than 1.0. The three remaining locations screened in and were compared by thermal zone.
The loss of recirculation pumps event, which has had zero occurrences in over 52 years of MNGP operation, was assumed to be at the design limit of 20 cycles in the EAF analysis for the remaining licensed operation and throughout the SPEO. With no recorded occurrences, the margin to the design limit is significantly high and therefore is not included in the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP.

TLAA Disposition: 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii)
The ASME Code,Section III, Class 1 component fatigue waivers will be managed by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP through the SPEO in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii). The Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP will monitor the transient cycles which are the inputs to the fatigue waiver reevaluations and require action prior to exceeding design limits that would invalidate their conclusions. The design limits for the transients listed in Table 4.3.2-1 that are tracked by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP are provided in Table 4.3.1-1. Note that Table 4.3.2-1 Main Closure Flange Startup/Shutdown is the same transient as Table 4.3.1-1 Bolt up/Unbolt. Transients listed in Table 4.3.2-1 that are not included in Table 4.3.1-1 were part of the original exemption analyses, but were not evaluated in the updated analyses in accordance with the requirements of NB-3222.4(d).

Since the ASME Section III, Paragraph N-415.1 and NB-3222.4(d) fatigue waiver criteria require postulated cycle input for the intended operating life of the plant, these fatigue waiver evaluations are TLAAs and have been reevaluated for SPEO using the 80-year projected number of transients in Table 4.3.1-1. Note that while there is no formal fatigue waiver evaluation done for instrumentation nozzles and jet pump instrumentation nozzles, the original stress analysis used a qualitative approach to show that thermal transients would not result in stresses that exceed allowable values.
0b Clarify the Non-USAR Listed Transients Impact on the Existing Fatigue Wavier
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 0b Page 1 of 2 Clarify the Non-USAR Listed Transients Impact on the Existing Fatigue Wavier Clarification that the non-USAR listed transients do not have an impact on the existing fatigue waiver evaluations.
Affected SLRA Sections: 4.3.2 SLRA Page Numbers: 4.3-6 Description of Change:
There are four transient events listed in SLRA Table 4.3.1-1 that are not included in the USAR listed transient cycles:
Sudden Start
Hot Standby with Drain Shutoff
Core Spray Injection
Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE)
Clarification is given that the first three of these transients are faulted events, they do not have an effect on the fatigue waiver evaluations.
The OBE event is clarified to have a large enough margin that this event does not have an affect on the fatigue waiver evaluations.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 0b Page 2 of 2 SLRA Section 4.3.2 TLAA Evaluation on page 4.3-6 is revised as follows:
All components reviewed in this reevaluation were found acceptable regarding fatigue usage for 80 years, including effects of rerate and EPU. The ASME Section III Class 1 fatigue waiver acceptance criterion continues to be satisfied based on 80-year projected transient cycles through the SPEO.
Fatigue exemption includes pressure and temperature cycles due to normal operation; fatigue exemption analyses do not include emergency and faulted events. Sudden Start, Hot Standby with Drain Shutoff, and Core Spray Injection are not part of normal operation and are faulted events. Therefore, they are not tracked in the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1)
AMP.
The OBE event, which has had zero occurrences in over 52 years of MNGP operations, is conservatively projected to have 1 cycle out of the analysis limit of 50 for the remaining licensed operation and throughout the SPEO. With this conservative projection of 1 OBE, there would remain a margin of 98% for the fatigue analysis limit. Therefore, OBE is not tracked in the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP.

Revise Sections 4.5.1, 4.5.2, and 4.5.3 to state the specific transients in the TLAA evaluations that will be monitored by the Fatigue Monitoring Aging Management Program. Also, state how the SRV cycles are being tracked for the program.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1b Page 2 of 3 SLRA Section 4.5.1 on page 4.5-2 is revised as follows:
TLAA Evaluation The maximum usage value for 60years was for a vent system component and occurred in the vent header at the downcomervent header intersection. This included 934 SRV discharges under a normal operating condition (NOC) and 50 SRV discharges under a small break accident (SBA), including 1000 SBA Seismic cycles.
Fatigue usage was recalculated for 80 years based on 699 projected SRV discharges under NOC and 74 SRV discharges under SBA, including 1000 SBA Seismic cycles, resulting in a maximum cumulative usage of 0.630.
Projected usage for the torus shell was recalculated using projected SRV cycles for NOC and increasing cycles for EPU for small break accident conditions by 47 percent from original design. Of the 699 projected SRV lifts, 506 were taken as single SRV lifts and 193 were taken as multiple SRV lifts. The ratio is consistent with the original design which had 676 single SRV lifts and 258 multiple SRV lifts.
Fatigue usage for the torus shell was 0.981 for 60 years. The largest impact on reducing this usage factor for 80 years of operation was using 699 projected SRV lifts, whereas the original evaluation assumed a total of 934 SRV lifts. The calculated cumulative usage factor for the torus shell for 80 years was 0.788.
Projected usage was calculated for 80years including EPU and is presented in Table 4.51. Projected usage is below 1.0 and therefore, which is acceptable and will be managed by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP. SRV cycles (for NOC and SBA, including SBA Seismic cycles) are tracked by the plant surveillance schedule for annual performance and will be tracked by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP as well.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1b Page 3 of 3 SLRA Section 4.5.2 on page 4.5-3 is revised as follows:
TLAA Evaluation The SRV piping fatigue usage value of 0.309 was increased by 26 percent to 0.389 for power rerate. Projected usage was calculated for normal operating condition (NOC) plus DBA and NOC plus small/intermediate break accident (SBA/IBA) with 50 SRV actuations postulated during accident (SBA/IBA) conditions and 934 SRV actuations postulated during normal operating conditions for a total of 984 postulated SRV actuations. Since projected SRV actuations during normal operation for 80years are less than the 934 postulated, the usage of 0.309 is conservatively increased by 47 percent to account for EPU for 80years. The conservatively calculated 80year usage is therefore 0.309 x 1.47 = 0.454 and is presented in Table 4.51, which is less than 1.0. and therefore This is acceptable and will be managed by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP. SRV cycles (for NOC plus DBA and NOC plus SBA/IBA) are tracked by the plant surveillance schedule for annual performance and will be tracked by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP as well.
SLRA Section 4.5.3 on page 4.5-4 is revised as follows:
The ring header fatigue evaluation for power uprate documented the controlling component as the tee to penetration X204C. The usage at the location was increased by 26 percent to account for an increase in SRV lifts due to power rerate. The EPU usage factor includes a 47 percent increase in cycles, resulting in an 80year cumulative usage factor of 0.154. Projected usage is below 1.0 and therefore, which is acceptable and will be managed by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP. SRV cycles (for NOC, OBE, and accidents) are tracked by the plant surveillance schedule for annual performance and will be tracked by the Fatigue Monitoring (B.2.2.1) AMP as well. The usage values associated with this TLAA are presented in Table 4.51.
1c HPCI and RCIC Turbine Exhaust Penetrations Consistency
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1c Page 1 of 3 HPCI and RCIC Turbine Exhaust Penetrations Consistency Revise SLRA to provide consistent details for HPCI and RCIC Turbine Exhaust Penetrations.
Affected SLRA Sections: 4.6.2, A.3.6.2 SLRA Page Numbers: 4.6-4, A-53 Description of Change:
SLRA Section 4.6.2 is being revised to include the load combinations that make up the fatigue usage factor for the HPCI and RCIC Turbine Exhaust Penetrations. The change will also add the TLAA disposition to Section A.3.6.2. These revisions provide consistency with the sections that surround them.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1c Page 2 of 3 SLRA Section 4.6.2 TLAA Evaluation Subsection on page 4.6-4 is revised as follows:
TLAA Evaluation HPCI Turbine Exhaust Penetration The 40year fatigue usage calculation of this location, which is also referred to as torusattached penetration (TAP) X221, resulted in a fatigue usage factor of 0.111. The fatigue usage factor is based on normal operating conditions load combinations plus design basis accident with OBE conditions load combinations. This is different from the value for the HPCI turbine exhaust penetration fatigue calculated in the MNGP LRA of 0.053 (Reference 4.7.22, Section 4.10). This difference is based on the method of evaluation.
The higher fatigue usage of 0.111 is conservatively multiplied by (80 years/40 years) to obtain a usage of 0.222 for 80 years of operation. Given this conservatism and the fact that, except for thermal and pressure cycles, none of the stresses increase due to EPU, 0.222 is bounding for 80 years with EPU.
RCIC Turbine Exhaust Penetration The 40year fatigue usage calculation of this location, which is also referred to as torusattached penetration (TAP) X212, resulted in a fatigue usage factor of 0.343. The fatigue usage factor is based on normal operating conditions load combinations plus design basis accident with OBE conditions load combinations. This is different from the value for the RCIC turbine exhaust penetration fatigue calculated in the MNGP LRA of 0.271 (Reference 4.7.22, Section 4.10). This difference is based on the method of evaluation.
For SLR, as with the HPCI turbine exhaust penetration, the total fatigue usage of 0.343 is conservatively multiplied by (80 years)/(40 years) to yield 0.686. Given this conservatism and the fact that, except for thermal and pressure cycles, none of the stresses increase due to EPU, 0.686 is bounding for 80 years with EPU.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1c Page 3 of 3 SLRA Section A.3.6.2 on page A-53 is revised as follows:
A.3.6.2 Fatigue Analyses of HighPressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) Turbine Exhaust Penetrations To evaluate the effects of testing the operability and performance of the turbinepump units on a periodic basis MNGP conducted a detailed evaluation of the thermal cycles experienced during testing for initial LR. Since the number of cycles used in the evaluation is based on a 60year plant life this is a TLAA.
For the HPCI turbine exhaust penetration, a higher fatigue usage of 0.111 is conservatively multiplied by (80 years/40 years) to obtain a usage of 0.222 for 80 years of operation. Given this conservatism and the fact that, except for thermal and pressure cycles, none of the stresses increase due to EPU, 0.222 is bounding for 80 years with EPU.
For the RCIC turbine exhaust penetration, the total fatigue usage is conservatively multiplied by (80 years)/(40 years). Given this conservatism and the fact that, except for thermal and pressure cycles, none of the stresses increase due to EPU, 0.686 is bounding for 80 years with EPU.
The HPCI and RCIC turbine exhaust penetration fatigue analyses have been projected to the end of the SPEO in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii).

Regulatory Basis:
Part 54 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, is designed to elicit application information that will enable the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to perform an adequate safety review and the Commission to make the necessary findings. Reliability of application information is important and advanced by requirements that license applications be submitted in writing under oath or affirmation and that information provided to the NRC by a license renewal applicant or required to be maintained by NRC regulations be complete and accurate in all material respects. Information that must be submitted in writing under oath or affirmation includes the technical information required under 10 CFR 54.21(a) related to assessment of the aging effects on structures, systems, and components subject to an aging management review.
Thus, both the general submission requirements for license renewal applications and the specific technical application information requirements require that submission of information material to NRCs safety findings (see 10 CFR 54.29 standards for issuance of a renewed license) be submitted by an applicant as part of the application.
Background:
By letter dated January 9, 2023, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System
[ADAMS] Package Accession No. ML23009A352), and supplemented by Subsequent License Renewal Application Supplement 1|letter dated April 3, 2023]] (ML23094A136), Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM, the applicant), submitted an application for the subsequent license renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-22 for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 1 (MNGP), to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). MNGP submitted the application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, for subsequent license renewal.
Between February 27, 2023 and June 2, 2023, the NRC staff conducted audits of MNGPs records to confirm information submitted in the Monticello subsequent license renewal application.
Request:
During the audit, the staff reviewed several documents that contain information which will likely be used in conclusions documented in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER). To the best of the staff's knowledge, this information is not on the docket. Any information used to reach a conclusion in the SER must be included on the docket by the applicant. We request that you submit confirmation that the information gathered from the documents and listed below is correct or provide the associated corrected information.

Subsequent License Renewal Application (SLRA), Table 3.5.2-6, cites Aging Management Review (AMR) item 3.3.1-059 for managing loss of material of steel fire rated doors exposed to indoor uncontrolled air and outdoor air by the Fire Protection Aging Management Program (AMP), which is consistent with Volume 1 of NUREG-2191, (ML17187A031). Doors with
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Docket 50-263 L-MT-23-031 1 Page 2 of 2 intended functions other than a fire barrier intended function (e.g., High Energy Line Break (HELB) barrier, flood barrier) are addressed in the SLRA in the individual structures where they are located and managed by the Structures Monitoring AMP.
Revision 63 of Procedure 1216-01, and Revision 47 of Procedure 0275-03, identified functions, in addition to Fire Barrier, for fire rated doors such as HELB barrier and flood barrier.
During the audit of the Fire Protection AMP, it was discussed that SLRA Table 3.5.2-6 includes fire barrier commodities and cites only the fire barrier intended function. Other intended functions associated with fire rated doors are addressed in the individual structures where they are located and managed by the Structures Monitoring AMP. Revision 1 of XCELMO00017-REPT-065 includes a reference to Procedure 0275-03, which references Procedure 1216-01.
However, Revision 1 of XCELMO00017-REPT-080, does not include a reference to either Procedure 0275-03 or Procedure 1216-01, which address HELB barrier and flood barrier doors in addition to fire rated doors. The applicant stated during the audit that the Fire Protection AMP will manage aging of doors with a fire barrier intended function and the Structures Monitoring AMP will manage aging of doors with other intended functions. The applicant stated that the same procedure and the same inspector will perform the tests and inspections for aging that may impact the doors ability to perform its intended functions.
Please confirm that fire rated doors with intended functions other than a fire barrier intended function, will be managed by both the Fire Protection AMP and the Structures Monitoring AMP to ensure all intended functions are maintained during the subsequent period of extended operation (SPEO).
