St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 St. Lucie Unit 2 FOURTH INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER RR#l4, REVISION 0 Proposed Alternative In Accordance With 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii)
--lnservice Inspection Impracticality--
1.0 ASME Code Component(s) Affected Class 1 and 2 pressure retaining welds in piping under risk informed (Rl)-ISI.
2.0 Applicable ASME Code Edition and Addenda L-2024-129 Enclosure The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for lnservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components,Section XI, 2007 Edition with Addenda through 2008 as amended by 1 OCFR50.55a, is the code of record for the St. Lucie Unit 2, 4th 10-year interval.
3.0
Applicable Code Requirement
In the safety evaluation dated August 10. 2015 (ML 1495A 196), the NRG authorized the licensee to implement RR#7, a risk informed (Rl)-ISI program, as an alternative to the ASME Code,Section XI, ISi requirements for Class 1 (i.e., Examination Category B-F and B-J) and Class 2 (i.e.,
Examination Category C-F-1 and C-F-2) piping welds in the fourth 10-year ISi interval of St. Lucie Unit 2. The risk informed program was developed in accordance with the NRG-approved methodology of Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Topical Report (TR)-112657, Revision B-A, "Revised Risk-Informed lnservice Inspection Evaluation Procedure," (ML013470102).

St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 St. Lucie Unit 2 FOURTH INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER RR#14, REVISION 0 L-2024-129 Enclosure ASME Section XI requires examination of 100 percent of the weld length as defined in the applicable Code Tables and shown in the applicable Code Figures. The alternative requirements of ASME Section XI, Code Case N-460, approved for use in Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 20, allow credit for essentially 100 percent coverage of welds provided greater than 90 percent of the required volume has been examined.
1 O CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv)(A) requires the following examination coverage when applying Supplement 2 to Appendix VII I:
(1)
Piping must be examined in two axial directions, and when examination in the circumferential direction is required, the circumferential examination must be performed in two directions, provided access is available.
(2)
Where examination from both sides is not possible, full coverage credit may be claimed from a single side for ferritic welds. Where examination from both sides is not possible on austenitic welds, full coverage credit from a single-side may be claimed only after completing a successful single-side Appendix VIII demonstration using flaws on the opposite side of the weld.
4.0 Impracticality of Compliance Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), relief is requested from the 100 percent coverage of the subject weld(s) due to geometric or design configuration, which limited the examination coverage that can be obtained. Due to St. Lucie Unit 2's use of the Risk-Informed ISi concept, the welds examined within the Risk Segment were selected to gain the highest examination coverage possible.
In the case of austenitic piping welds, there is currently no Performance Demonstration Initiative (POI) qualified single-sided examination procedures which have been demonstrated to provide equivalency to dual-sided examination procedures. Current technology cannot reliably detect or size flaws on the far side of an austenitic weld. POI Performance Demonstration Qualification Summary (PDQS) certificates for austenitic piping list the limitation that single-sided examinations are performed on a "best-effort" basis. The "best-effort" statement is provided in place of a complete single-side qualification to demonstrate that the examiner's qualification and any subsequent weld examinations are based on applying the best available technology.
Relief is requested from compliance with the essentially 100 percent required examination coverage for piping welds listed in the tables based on the geometric configurations that limited examination access. The coverage obtained during the examination for single sided exams have no code coverage credit taken for the far side of the weld (i.e., no austenitic weld will have greater than 50 percent coverage).
Preservice examinations with limitations resulting in coverage <90 % are detailed in Table U2 PSI and Figures 1-10. Preservice welds met the requirements of ASME Section Ill prior to PSI Examination.
lnservice examinations with limitations resulting in coverage <90 % are detailed in Table U2-14-ISI and Figures 11-16 5.0 Burden Caused by Compliance For the Class 1 stainless steel piping welds selected per the guidelines of the RI-ISi Program, the limitations listed in Table U2-14-ISI are limited by their design configurations. Single-side coverage was obtained for the pipe-to-valve weld configuration, and limited dual-side coverage was obtained for other weld configurations as noted.

St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 St. Lucie Unit 2 FOURTH INSPECTION INTERVAL RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER RR#14, REVISION 0 L-2024-129 Enclosure Overall, it is only possible to obtain UT interrogation of greater than 90% of the required code examination volume or surface areas for the inservice welds in this request with extensive weld or component design modifications. Examinations have been performed to the maximum extent possible, and radiography is impractical due to the amount of work being performed in the areas on a 24-hour basis when the welds are available for examination. Using radiography would result in numerous work-related stoppages and increased exposure due to the shutdown and startup of other work in the areas. Water may need to be drained from systems or components where radiography is performed, which increases the radiation dose rates over a much broader area than the weld being examined. Significant impracticality is associated with the performance of weld or area modifications or the use of radiography to increase the examination coverage.
The UT examination techniques used for welds in this request for relief were reviewed to determine If additional coverage could be achieved by improving those techniques. None could be identified, and the examinations were performed to the maximum extent possible. Therefore, St. Lucie has determined that obtaining essentially 100% coverage is not feasible and impractical without adding additional burden consisting of significant redesign work, increased radiation exposure, and/or potential damage to the plant or the component itself.
6.0 Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use The subject welds received a volumetric examination to the maximum extent practical, utilizing the best available techniques as qualified through POI. The POI technique was used to examine the far side of the weld using the search unit angle(s) and frequencies as required by the POI Generic procedure (PDI-UT-2). Additionally, a visual (VT-2) examination was performed for each refueling outage on the applicable system as required by ASME Section XI.
Based on the volumetric examination coverage obtained with acceptable results and the visual (VT-
- 2) examination performed each refueling outage with acceptable results, it is reasonable to conclude that service-induced degradation would be detected. Therefore, these proposed alternatives provide an acceptable level of quality and safety by providing reasonable assurance of the structural integrity of the subject welds.
7.0 Duration of Proposed Alternative Relief is requested for the Fourth 10-year lnservice Inspection interval for St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, which began on August 8, 2013, and ended on August 7, 2023 8.0 Precedents Note: Industry requests for relief due to impracticality associated with limited weld examinations are common and are filed by all licensees.
