Enclosure 1 to NRC-15-0067 Page 1 Set 35 RAI 4.3.3-1a

Background

By letter dated January 14, 2015, the staff issued Requestfor Additional Information (RAI) 4.3.3-1 requesting that the applicant:

(1) Provide the methodology being used to identify plant-specific component locations in the reactorcoolantpressure boundary that are more limiting than the components identified in NUREG/CR-6260.

(2) Provide the technical basis used to determine that the methodology used to identify the plant-specific component locations are bounding.

In its response dated February12, 2015, the applicantstated that:

(1) Electric PowerResearch Institute (EPRI) Technical Report 1024995, "Environmentally Assisted FatigueScreening, Process and Technical Basis for Identifying EAF Limiting Locations," is the methodology that will be used to identify plant-specific component locations that are more limiting than the locations identified in NUREG/CR-6260.

(2) EPRI Technical Report 1024995, Section 3, provides the technical basisfor the methodology to identify the limiting plant-specific component locations.

Section 3 of EPRI Technical Report 1024995 states: "The reader is reminded that this report is NOT provided as a Quality Assured document. Application of the processes described will require appropriatereview and quality dedicationon a site-specific basis."

Section 4 of EPRI Technical Report 1024995 contains a subsection entitled "Guidelinesfor Reducing the Number of Sentinel Locations." This subsectionprovides possible criteria that could be used to make judgements regardingthe reduction of sentinel locations. Section 6 also states that analysis beyond the scope of the screeningprocess presentedmay be applied to further reduce the number of sentinel locations.

Issue EPRI Technical Report 1024995 has not been submitted to the NRC for approval and has not been endorsedby the NRC. Additionally, EPRI Technical Report 1024995 is not a Quality Assured document and its applicationrequiresplant-specific review. The criteriaused to reduce the number of sentinel locations are not clearly defined. The applicanthas not demonstratedthat its applicationof the screeningmethodology will be done in a manner that conservatively evaluates environmentally assistedfatigue (EAF) effects, with the same degree of analytical rigorfor all locations, to identify the bounding locations.

to NRC-15-0067 Page 2 The staff lacks sufficient information to evaluate the effects of the reactorcoolant environment on componentfatigue life during the period of extended operation. It is unclear to the staff if the plant-specific implementation of the genericprocedures in EPRI Technical Report 1024995 will identify the most limitingplant-specific locations.

Request (1) Describe andjustify the site-specific review that was conducted to determine that the application of the screeningprocesses being utilized is appropriatefor identifying the EAF limiting locations.

(2) Select a number of representativesystems and provide the evaluation of the EAF analysis, ranking of sentinel locations, and selection of limiting sentinel locations. The systems should be selected so that they demonstrate the adequacy of the methodology to identify the limiting plant-specific component locations. Considerationshould be given to the thermal zones, materials, transients,and complexity of the systems selected. The systems selected should demonstrate that the methodology conservatively evaluates EAF effects, with the same degree of analyticalrigorfor all locations, to identify the bounding locations.

(3) Describe and justify any engineeringjudgement, plant-specific assumptions, and plant-specific criteriaused in the EAF analysis or screening process. This should include the systematic process used to eliminate sentinel locations as limiting and examples showing how the process was implemented.

Response

1) Fermi 2 has an ASME Section III design basis for Class 1 vessels and piping. Therefore, these components have calculated cumulative usage factors (CUFs). Fermi 2 utilized the EPRI Technical Report 1024995 guidelines for identifying Sentinel locations for a plant with an ASME Section III Subsection NB-3000 vessel and piping design basis. As noted in Section 2 of the EPRI report, "Evaluating components with a CUFcalculation is straightforwardand may require a relatively simple evaluationprocess to estimate and apply environmentalfatigue correctionfactors (Fenl) to the existing CUF values." The main reason for this relative simplicity is that usage has been calculated and can be recalculated in a straightforward manner using fatigue curves from the applicable NUREG for estimating EAF.

The design stress analysis results for Fermi 2 were previously reanalyzed for power uprate conditions, with updated CUFs for 60 years provided in LRA Table 4.3-2 (Reactor Pressure Vessel), LRA Table 4.3-4 (Reactor Recirculation Pumps), LRA Table 4.3-6 (Class 1 Piping),

and LRA Table 4.3-7 (Class 1 Valves). Each component location was examined and the location with the largest CUF was identified in each subsystem in the fatigue analysis. The calculations documenting the evaluation of the candidate locations evaluated these locations to NRC-15-0067 Page 3 for EAF. The evaluations were performed under the auspices of a 10 CFR 50 Appendix B quality assurance program. Therefore, the screening process used for Fermi 2 is robust and comprehensive.

2) The Feedwater (FW) system and Standby Liquid Control (SLC) system are the systems selected as representative systems.

FW System The FW system was divided into subsystems for the purpose of this screening process; nozzle, piping inside containment, containment penetration and piping outside containment.

The piping and containment penetration material is carbon steel, the nozzle is low alloy steel, and the safe end is stainless steel.

The design stress analysis results were examined and the location with the largest CUF was identified in each subsystem. These locations had been reanalyzed for power uprate conditions and, as indicated in LRA Section 4.3, 60-year projected cycles. The results obtained from the process for evaluating Sentinel locations for the FW system are provided in Table 1 of this response.

As can be observed from the notes on Table 1, the same degree of analytical rigor was not always applied. Therefore, the approach used at Fermi 2 took this into account when selecting Sentinel locations and is why some Sentinel locations with currently lower calculated CUF values were selected (e.g., FW piping FW-04 Node 16 instead of the penetration body - see Table 1 Notes 1, 2 & 9). Alternating stress and fatigue usage is highest where large, rapid temperature changes occur (e.g., FW nozzle and FW-04 Node 16 where FW, RCIC and RWCU systems converge), validating the selection of these locations as Sentinel locations.

SLC System The SLC piping both outside and inside containment up to the nozzle was evaluated for EAF, as well as its associated nozzle (core AP nozzle). The core AP nozzle is not one of the NUREG/CR-6260 locations, but was determined to be a Sentinel location based on its CUFen value. The results are provided in Table 2 of this response.

Node 55 is the highest fatigue location in the piping system with a 60-year CUF value of 0.097. Node 95 is the highest fatigue location in the piping outside containment with a 60-year CUF value of 0.056. The CUFen value for Node 55 is 0.503. The nozzle through which the SLC fluid enters the RPV is the core AP nozzle, whose 60-year CUF value is 0.637 with a calculated CUFen value of 1.478. The core AP nozzle thus bounds the piping and will serve as a Sentinel location. Although a NB-3200 analysis was performed for the core AP nozzle, the calculated 60 year usage was conservatively calculated by combining the transients and evaluated using the alternating stress for the most limiting transient case. It is anticipated that further analytical work will be performed in the future to demonstrate that the computed CUFen value of the core AP nozzle is acceptable. This may result in Node 55 being to NRC-15-0067 Page 4 identified as an additional Sentinel location if the CUFen value is within 50% of the core AP nozzle CUFen value.

3) The site-specific application of the screening process for identifying EAF limiting locations comprised the following activities:

Fermi 2-specific fatigue analyses were performed for Class 1 reactor coolant pressure boundary locations with reported CUF values using the design fatigue curves from NUREG/CR-6909, Revision 0.

o Locations not wetted (not in contact with reactor water) were screened out (e.g. HPCI steam line).

o Components with the highest design CUF were evaluated for the effects of EAF.

o For each system evaluated, EAF was calculated for each material type present (e.g. carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, Ni-Cr-Fe alloy / Inconel).

  • To calculate Fen multipliers, the following assumptions were used:

o Fermi 2-specific historical dissolved oxygen values for each reactor water chemistry zone were used.

o Strain rate values that maximize EAF in the NUREG/CR-6909 equations for EAF were used.

o Sulfur values that maximize EAF in the NUREG/CR-6909 equations for EAF were used (applies only to carbon and low alloy steels).

Fen multipliers were developed for various temperatures for carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel and Ni-Cr-Fe alloy for each of six listed reactor water chemistry zones. Fen multipliers also considered dissolved oxygen (DO) levels associated with the plant water chemistry history and accounted for the Normal Water Chemistry (NWC), Hydrogen Water Chemistry (HWC) and On-line Noble Metal Chemistry (OLNC) availability. CUFen calculations were initially made using these zone-specific Fen values at the maximum design transient temperature of 575°F.

Thus, CUFen values were initially calculated assuming the least favorable conditions for metal sulfur content, component strain rate and temperature along with the zone-specific DO values.

The plant fluid systems were subdivided into subsystems in a manner consistent with the fatigue analyses comprising the current design basis and the screening process compared all components in the same fluid subsystem. Thus, this screening approach inherently addressed all thermal zones.

The following systems and locations identified in NUREG/CR-6260 were addressed. All these locations are Sentinel locations.

  • Feedwater o Nozzle (all materials) o FW piping where RCIC/RWCU are connected (more severe than where HPCI is connected)
  • Reactor Recirculation o Inlet nozzle (all materials) o Outlet nozzle (all materials) e RHR o Supply piping o Return piping
  • Reactor Vessel shell and lower head o RPV shell o CRD nozzle For completeness, in addition to the NUREG/CR-6260 locations, the RWCU piping, Reactor Recirculation piping and SLC nozzle and piping were evaluated.

Additional Sentinel locations were selected by the following process. For each fluid system:

1. Select the location with the largest CUFen value for each material present.
2. Eliminate locations with CUFen values less than a value of 0.8 (unless the location is part of a component with other materials present some of whose CUFen values exceed 0.8).
3. Retain the remaining locations with the second largest CUFen of a given material if it is within 50% of the value of the largest location in that fluid system. Eliminate any remaining locations.

Engineering judgment was used to address dynamic and rapid cycling loads. NUREG/CR-6909 states in Section 4.2 that existing fatigue data indicates that a slow strain rate applied during a tensile-loading cycle is primarily responsible for environmentally assisted reduction in fatigue life and also states that when all threshold conditions are satisfied, the fatigue life of carbon and low-alloy steels decreases logarithmically with decreasing strain rate below 1%/s. Accordingly, transient pairs which had solely dynamic or rapid cycling loading values had no environmental fatigue multipliers applied (Fen = 1.0).

Subsequent to this establishment of Sentinel locations, additional refined analysis was performed for those Sentinel locations with CUFen values exceeding a value of 1.0 with the intention of achieving CUFen values of 1.0 or less. Where this occurred, these locations were re-evaluated with reduced Fen multipliers using average transient temperatures (based on NUREG/CR-6909 guidance) or where load pairs subject to dynamic loading for the load pair in question (e.g., OBE) were directly available in the listed inputs.

Sentinel locations with a calculated projected CUFen greater than 1.0 as a result of the screening activity were identified as requiring additional action prior to actually exceeding this value.

Enclosure 2 to NRC-15-0067 Fermi 2 NRC Docket No. 50-341 Operating License No. NPF-43 DTE Revised Response to NRC Request for Additional Information for the Review of the Fermi 2 License Renewal Application -

Set 25 Question B.1.16-2a

Enclosure 2 to NRC-15-0067 Page 1 Set 25 RAI B.1.16-2a

Background

The response to requestfor additional information (RAI) B.1.16-2, dated January28, 2015, states that the External Surfaces MonitoringProgram will be revised to inspect insulated components to ensure that moisture intrusionhas not degraded the insulation when the insulation is requiredto reduce heat transfer. Commitment No. 11h and Enhancement No. 8 were added to revise the programprocedures to include instructionsfor the inspection of both jacketed and non-jacketed insulationfor insulation degradationdue to moisture intrusion.

GenericAging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report Aging ManagementProgram(AMP) XI.M36, as revised by License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance (LR-ISG)-2012-02, "Aging Management of Internal Surfaces, Fire Water Systems, Atmospheric Storage Tanks, and Corrosion Under Insulation," provides guidance on the inspection ofjacketed insulation to manage reduced heat transfer. The "detection of aging effects" program element states that if configurationfeatures, such as minimum overlap and seam locations, associatedwith jacketed insulation are not applicablethat an alternativeinspection methodology should be proposed to address reduced thermal insulation resistance.

Issue The staff lacks the informationnecessary to evaluate the aging management of reduced thermal insulation resistanceof non-jacketed insulation. The External Surfaces Monitoring Program does not include an inspection methodology or frequency to detect reduced thermal insulation resistancedue to moisture intrusionfor non-jacketed insulation.

Request Provide the inspection methodology andfrequency used to manage reduced thermal insulation resistancefor non-jacketed insulation. State the basisfor the inspection methodology and frequency.

Response

DTE previously responded to RAI B.1.16-2a by letter dated April 17, 2015 (NRC-15-0032). The response to RAI B.1.16-2a is revised to include additional information requested by the NRC on clarification calls held on May 14 and 28, 2015. The revised response below supersedes the response previously provided on April 17, 2015.

Visual inspection of jacketed and non-jacketed insulation that performs an intended function of "insulation" will be conducted in accordance with the External Surfaces Monitoring Program.

Visual inspection of this insulation will occur at a frequency consistent with NUREG-1801 Section XI.M36, as modified by LR-ISG-2012-02. Potential water intrusion will be considered.

to NRC-15-0067 Page 2 Signs of water intrusion would include discoloration, staining, or surface irregularities. It is expected that insulation that shows no sign of discoloration, stains, or surface irregularities would perform its intended insulation function. Enhancements in the External Surfaces Monitoring Program (LRA Sections A.1.16 and B.1.16) will be revised to include a description of these activities.

In addition, non-jacketed thermal insulation with the intended function of "insulation" will be monitored through the Periodic Surveillance and Preventive Maintenance (PSPM) Program. In each five-year period beginning five years prior to the period of extended operation (PEO) where plant conditions permit (i.e., the insulated pipe is carrying a heat load and is not located in a high radiation area), thermography of at least 20 percent of the available population will be performed to assess its insulating ability. A revision to the PSPM Program (LRA Sections A.1.35 and B.1.35) will be made to include a description of these activities.

LRA Revisions:

LRA Table 3.5.2-4 and LRA Sections A.1.16, A.1.35, A.4, B.1.16, and B.1.35 are revised as shown on the following pages. Additions are shown in underline and deletions are shown in strike-through. Note that previous changes to these same LRA sections made in the July 30, 2014 letter (NRC-14-005 1), January 15, 2015 letter (NRC-15-0002), and January 28, 2015 letter (NRC-15-0007) are not shown in underline or strike-through such that only the new changes due to RAI B.1.16-2a are shown as revisions.

  • Flexible polymers should have a uniform surface texture and color with no cracks and no dimension change, no abnormal surface conditions with respect to hardness, flexibility, physical dimensions, and color.
  • Rigid polymers should have no erosion, cracking, crazing, or chalking.

For insulation, no discoloration, staining, or surface irregularities from moisture intrusion.

Enclosure 2 to NRC-15-0067 Page 10 B.1.35 PERIODIC SURVEILLANCE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE The Fermi 2 aging management review credits the following inspection activities.

Reactor Visually inspect and manually flex the rubber gasket/seal for spent fuel storage building pool gates to verify no loss of sealing.

Service water Determine wall thickness of selected service water system piping components system to manage loss of material due to recurring internal corrosion by multiple corrosion mechanisms.

Emergency Visually inspect a representative sample of EDG system air coolant, lube oil, diesel and jacket water heat exchanger tubes to manage loss of material due to wear.

generator Determine wall thickness of selected EDG system piping components to (EDG) system manage loss of material due to recurring internal corrosion by multiple corrosion mechanisms.

Fire water Use visual or other NDE techniques to inspect internal surfaces to manage system fouling of the fire water system heat exchanger tubes exposed to raw water.

Visually inspect a representative sample of the dry piping downstream of the manual isolation valve for the cable spreading room wet pipe system for flow blockage. The first inspection will be within five years of the period of extended operation.

Combustion Visually inspect a representative sample of CTG system lube oil heat exchanger turbine tubes to manage loss of material due to wear.

generator Visually inspect a representative sample of CTG system atomizing air precooler (CTG) system heat exchanger tubes to manage fouling and loss of material due to wear.

Visually inspect and clean CTG system atomizing air booster compressor suction filter to manage fouling.

Visually inspect and clean CTG system compressor extraction air filter to manage fouling.

Containment Use visual or other NDE techniques to inspect containment atmospheric control atmospheric system recombiner components' internal surfaces to manage loss of material.

control system Non-iacketed Perform thermography on a sample of non-jacketed insulation having an insulation intended function of "insulation" to assess its insulating ability. A sample will consist of at least 20 percent of the available population of non-iacketed insulation where the insulated piping has a heat load and is not located in a high radiation area. The first thermography will be during the five years prior to the period of extended operation.
