In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) hereby requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval to extend the In-Service Inspection (ISI) interval for the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2) reactor pressure vessel (RPV) weld examinations from 2027 to end of the current renewed operating license (July 17, 2038).

Entergy proposes to implement an alternative to the requirement of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section XI, IWB 2411, Inspection Program, that volumetric examination of RPV Examination categories B-A and B-D be performed once each 10-year ISI interval.

The enclosed request concludes that the current inspection interval of 10 years can be revised to 20 years with negligible change in risk. This is done by satisfying the risk criteria specified in Regulatory Guide 1.174 (Reference 1). In addition, the requested alternative would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Entergy requests approval of the requested alternative to the end of the current renewed ANO-2 Operating License (July 2038).

Phil Couture Senior Manager Fleet Regulatory Assurance - Licensing 601-368-5102

2CAN072401 Page 2 of 2 Although the analysis supports a longer period of extension, Entergy will perform the required B-A and B-D examinations prior to the end of the current renewed operating license for ANO-2.

This request is for the second interval extension. Item (6) of Section 3.4 of the Safety Evaluation of Reference 2 is applicable to this request. The requested information is provided in the enclosure.

Entergy requests approval of the proposed Alternative Requests by October 1, 2025.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

2CAN072401 Enclosure Page 1 of 10 Alternative Request ANO2-ISI-24-02

1. ASME Code Component(s) Affected The affected component is the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2) reactor vessel (RV),

specifically, the following American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code,Section XI (Reference 1) examination categories and item numbers covering examinations of the RV. These examination categories and item numbers are from IWB-2500 and Table IWB-2500-1 of the ASME BPV Code,Section XI.

Category B-A welds are defined as "Pressure Retaining Welds in Reactor Vessel."

Category B-D welds are defined as "Full Penetration Welded Nozzles in Vessels."

Examination Category Item No.

Description B-A B1.10 Shell Welds B-A B1.11 Circumferential Shell Welds B-A B1.12 Longitudinal Shell Welds B-A B1.20 Head Welds B-A B1.21 Circumferential Head Welds B-A B1.22 Meridional Head Welds B-A B1.30 Shell-to-Flange Weld B-A B1.40 Head-to-Flange Weld B-D B3.90 Nozzle-to-Vessel Welds B-D B3.100 Nozzle Inside Radius Section Throughout this request, the above examination categories are referred to as "the subject examinations" and the ASME BPV Code,Section XI, is referred to as "the Code."

2. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda

ASME Code Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda (Reference 1).

2CAN072401 Enclosure Page 2 of 10

3. Applicable Code Requirement

IWB-2411, Inspection Program, requires volumetric examination of essentially 100% of RV pressure-retaining welds identified in Table IWB-2500-1 once each 10-year interval. The fifth 10-year in-service inspection (ISI) interval for ANO-2 is scheduled to end on March 25, 2030. The applicable Code for the sixth 10-year ISI interval will be selected in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a.

4. Reason for Request

An alternative is requested from the requirement of the IWB-2411 Inspection Program, that volumetric examination of essentially 100% of RV pressure-retaining Examination Category B-A and B-D welds be performed once each 10-year interval. Extension of the interval between examinations of Category B-A and B-D welds from 10 years to up to 20 years will result in a reduction in man-rem exposure and examination costs.

5. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Entergy proposes not to perform the ASME Code required volumetric examination of the ANO-2 RV full penetration pressure-retaining Examination Category B-A and B-D welds for the fifth ISI interval. The fifth interval examination is currently scheduled to be performed in 2027. Entergy will perform the next ASME Code required volumetric examination of the ANO-2 RV full penetration pressure-retaining Examination Category B-A and B-D welds in the third period of the sixth ISI interval, which ends on July 17, 2038 (end of the current renewed operating license). The proposed inspection date is within plus or minus one refueling outage of the latest revised implementation plan, OG-10-238 (Reference 2), which reflects the next inspection being performed in 2038.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), an alternate inspection interval is requested on the basis that the current interval can be revised with negligible change in risk by satisfying the risk criteria specified in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174 (Reference 3).

The methodology used to conduct this analysis is based on that defined in the study WCAP-16168-NP-A, Revision 3, "Risk-Informed Extension of the Reactor Vessel In-service Inspection Interval" (Reference 4). This study focuses on risk assessments of materials within the beltline and extended beltline regions of the RV wall. The results of the calculations for ANO-2 were compared to those obtained from the Combustion Engineering (CE) pilot plant evaluated in WCAP-16168-NP-A, Revision 3. Appendix A of the WCAP identifies the parameters to be compared. Demonstrating that the parameters for ANO-2 are bounded by the results of the CE pilot plant qualifies ANO-2 for an ISI interval extension.

Table 1 below lists the critical parameters investigated in the WCAP and compares the results of the CE pilot plant to those of ANO-2. Tables 2 and 3 provide additional information that was requested by the NRC and included in Appendix A of Reference 4.

Table 2: Additional Information Pertaining to Reactor Vessel Inspection for ANO-2 Inspection methodology:

The latest RV ISI for ANO-2 was conducted in accordance with the requirements of Appendix VIII of the ASME Code,Section XI, 2007 Edition with 2008 Addenda, as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a. Evaluation of recordable indications was performed to the acceptance standards of Section XI, 2007 Edition with 2008 Addenda. Future ISIs will be performed to ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII requirements.

Number of past inspections:

Three 10-Year ISIs have been performed.

2CAN072401 Enclosure Page 4 of 10 Table 2: Additional Information Pertaining to Reactor Vessel Inspection for ANO-2 Number of indications found:

There were four total indications identified in the beltline and extended beltline regions during the most recently completed ISI. These subsurface indications are located in the intermediate shell-to-lower shell circumferential weld seam (Item 20 in Table 3),

the upper shell longitudinal weld seam (Item 10 in Table 3) and the intermediate shell longitudinal weld seam (Item 15 in Table 3). All four indications fall within the inner 3/8th of the RV thickness and are acceptable per Table IWB 3510-1 of Section XI of the ASME Code. Of the four indications, there are three indications within the inner 1/10th or inner 1 of the RV wall thickness. The three indications are acceptable per the requirements in the Alternate PTS Rule, 10 CFR 50.61a (Reference 7).

A disposition of the three indications against the limits of the Alternate PTS Rule is shown in the tables below. Two of the indications were located in the weld materials and one indication was located in the plate material of the RV.

The four indications described above were previously reported in the second 10-year (2R13) inspection. There is no site-specific flaw growth data since these indications were evaluated as acceptable per ASME Section XI Table IWB-3510-1.

0 The plant-specific total length (1,590 inches) of reactor vessel beltline welds that were volumetrically inspected and the plant-specific total surface area (9,733 square-inches) of RV beltline plates that were volumetrically inspected are comprised of the upper-to-intermediate shell circumferential weld, the intermediate to lower shell circumferential weld, three longitudinal welds in the intermediate shell, and for the total weld length, three longitudinal welds in the lower shell. While the three upper shell longitudinal welds were inspected and evaluated, the length and area associated with these welds are conservatively excluded from the total inspected length and area. Weld length and area were also adjusted based on examination coverage of each weld as this is considered a conservative approach.

Proposed inspection schedule for balance of plant life:

The fourth ISI is scheduled for 2027. This inspection will instead be performed in the third period of the sixth interval, which ends on July 17, 2038. The proposed inspection date is within plus or minus one refueling outage of the latest revised implementation plan, OG-10-238 (Reference 2), which reflects the next inspection being performed in 2038.
