ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 3 2.0 Program Description 2.1 This Part A of the ISI-NDE Program Plan has been developed herein to utilize the Inspection Program requirements of IWA-2431, Tables IWB-2411-1, IWC-2411-1, IWD-2411-1, IWE-2411-1, and IWF-2410-1 for the Fourth Ten-Year Inspection Interval.
2.2
Regulatory Commission (NRC) requesting permission to deviate from either an ASME Section XI requirement, a 10 CFR 50.55a rule, or to use provisions from editions of Section XI, or portions thereof, not approved by the NRC as referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a(b). These Relief Requests are addressed in Section 5.0 of Part A of this program and referenced in the applicable ISI-NDE Program Tables included in Section 7.0 of Part A. If during the course of implementation the need for additional relief is identified, it will be requested at a later date.
2.3 The Fourth Ten-Year Interval will begin on May 2, 2019 and is scheduled to end on December 31, 2028 in accordance with IWA-2430. The fourth interval is planned to include five refueling and inspection outages.

RF22 March 2024 RF23 March 2026 3rd 12/26/26 to 12/31/28(3)
RF24 March 2028 Note 1: Fermi 2 will be going to 24 months cycles after RF21.
Note 2: In accordance with IWA-2430, the second period is increased by 1 year to 4 1/3 years to maintain RF23 in the 2nd Period.
Note 3: In accordance with IWA-2430, the third period is shortened to recoup the 1 year extension to the 2nd Period and 3 month extension to the second Interval.
Following this schedule will result in recouping the full lifetime interval and period extensions allowed by IWA-2430.
2.4 The extent of examinations for ASME Class 1 pipe welds was modified to include weld selections based on a Risk-Informed/Safety-Based (RIS_B) application as described below. During the second interval, Relief Request RR-A30 was submitted to the NRC and approved for use. Relief Request RR-A30 implemented a Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection (RI-ISI) Program based on ASME Section XI Code Case N-578 and EPRI Topical Report No. TR-112657. RR-A30 was updated at the end of the second interval, resubmitted to the NRC, and approved for use during the third interval. During the second period of the third interval, Fermi converted to a RI-ISI Program based on Code Case N-716-1 and EPRI TR-112657. The RI-ISI methodology applies to Class 1, 2, 3 Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 7 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 5 and Non-classed piping and components. Because Code Case N-716-1 is listed as RI-ISI Program did not require the submittal of a Relief Request to the NRC. Code Case N-716-1 will continue to be implemented in the fourth interval. Refer to Section 7.0 which contains the ISI-NDE Summary Tables and includes Examination Category R-A for the RI-ISI Program which is contained in Part E of this ISI-NDE Program (Plan).
2.5 The extent of examination for ASME Class 2 pipe welds was modified for the preservice and First Ten-Year Interval examinations. The selection of individual welds examined on each Class 2 system was based on the stress-based inspection philosophy described in Fermi UFSAR Section 5.2.8.8 along with the prorating methodology described in Section XI (reference ISI Evaluation 99-053). During the Second Ten-Year Interval, Fermi adopted the standard examination criteria specified in ASME Section XI, Table IWC-2500-1, Examination Categories C-F-1 and C-F-2. For the Third Ten-Year Interval, Fermi continued applying the criteria specified in ASME Section XI, Table IWC-2500-1, Examination Categories C-F-1 and C-F-2 into the second period. During the second period of the third interval, Fermi 2 converted to a RI-ISI Program based on Code Case N-716-1 and EPRI TR-112657. The RI-ISI methodology applies to Class 1, 2, 3 and Non-classed piping and components. Because Code Case N-716-1 is listed as RI-ISI Program does not require the submittal of a Relief Request to the NRC. As noted above, Code Case N-716-1 will continue to be implemented in the fourth interval for ASME Class 2 piping welds. Refer to Section 7.0 which contains the ISI-NDE Summary Tables and includes Examination Category R-A for the RI-ISI Program which is contained in Part E of this ISI-NDE Program (Plan).
2.6 The systems or portions of systems subject to the examination requirements of the ISI-NDE Program for Fermi 2 and the associated Class 1, 2 and 3 boundaries are documented on ISI Classification Boundary Drawings. The ISI Classification Boundary Drawings are listed in Section 6.0, Table A-6-5.1.
2.7 Section 6.0, Table A-6-5.2 lists the Fermi 2 Inservice Inspection Isometric Drawings which have been developed for all vessels, piping, pumps, and valves which require volumetric and/or surface examination by this program.
2.8 The system inservice inspection classifications, developed specifically to define the extent to which ASME Section XI requirements will be applied, differ somewhat from the ASME Section III design classifications. Primarily, these differences occur because Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 8 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 6 systems, or portions of systems, were optionally upgraded in design. In addition, ISI classifications are limited to systems important to safety, which contain water, steam, or radioactive materials.

allows the use of an ultrasonic examination method on Class 1 piping welds. The use of this provision is prohibited by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxii). Based on the RIS_B application on Class 1 piping welds and Code Case N-716-1 under the ISI-NDE Program, Part E, Fermi 2 does not need to perform surface examinations on this piping.
4.10 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxv) - Mitigation of Defects by Modification Prohibiting the use of IWA-4340 for the mitigation of defects by modification as stated in 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxv) is not addressed in the Fermi 2 ISI Program.
Repair/Replacement Activities are addressed in Fermi 2 Engineering Support Conduct Manual MES30.
4.11 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxvi) Pressure Testing Class 1, 2 and 3 Mechanical Joints Placing restrictions on the pressure testing of replaced components and appurtenances per IWA-4540(c) as stated in 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxvi) is not addressed in the Fermi 2 ISI Program. Repair/Replacement Activities are addressed in Fermi 2 Engineering Support Conduct Manual MES30.
4.12 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxvii) - Removal of Insulation 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxvii) modifies the requirements of IWA-5241 for insulation removal from 17-4 PH or 410 stainless steel studs or bolts aged at a temperature below 1100°F or those having a Rockwell Method C hardness value above 30, and from A-286 stainless steel studs or bolts preloaded to 100,000 pounds per square inch or higher.

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 17 5.0 Relief Requests Throughout this section submittals to the NRC requesting permission to deviate from either an ASME Section XI requirement, a 10 CFR 50.55a rule, or to use provisions from editions of Section XI not approved by the NRC as referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a(b). However, when communicating with the NRC and in written requests to deviate, the terms as defined below must be used for clarity and to satisfy 10 CFR 50.55a. Submittals to the NRC must clearly identify which of the below rules are being used to request the deviation.
Request for Alternatives When seeking an alternative to the rules contained in 10 CFR 50.55a(b) through (h) the request is submitted under the provision of 10 CFR 50.55a(z). Once approved by the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, the alternative may be incorporated into the ISI program. These types of requests are typically used to request use of Code Cases, Code Editions, or Addenda not yet approved by the NRC. Request for Alternatives must be approved by the NRC prior to their implementation or use. Within the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(z) there are two specific methods of submittal:
10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1) Acceptable level of quality and safety. The proposed alternative would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.
10 CFR 50.55a(z)(2) Hardship without a compensating increase in quality and safety.
Compliance with the specified requirements of this section would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.
Relief Requests Required due to Impracticality or Limited Examinations 10 CFR 50.55(a)(g)(5)(iii) and (iv) allows relief to be requested in instances when a Code requirement is deemed impractical with (iv) being specific to examination requirements that are determined to be impractical. The provisions of these two paragraphs are typically used to address impracticalities like limited examination coverage. Under 10 CFR 50.55(a)(g)(5)(iv), relief requests for impracticality determinations must be submitted for NRC review and approval not later than 12 months after the expiration of the initial or subsequent 120-month inspection interval for which relief is sought.
In cases where conformance with an ASME Section XI requirement for inservice inspection is considered impractical, Fermi 2 will notify the NRC and submit information to support the determination, as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5). The submittal of this information will be referred to as a Request for Relief.
Each Relief Request is written in accordance with the format guidelines provided in Section 5.1. Individual Relief Requests are listed in Section 5.2. As noted in Section 2.2, Program Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 20 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 18 Description, Section 5.2 is subject to change throughout the inspection interval. If examination requirements in this program plan are determined to be impractical during the course of the interval, additional or modified Relief Requests will be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z) or 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii) as applicable.
5.1 Relief Request Format Relief Requests will be written, to the extent practical, in the formats described in NEI
provided below. (Note that the format used in Relief Request RR-A25 is slightly different because it was generated during the second interval and granted through the remaining portion of the initial licensing term.)
5.1.1 ASME Code Component(s) Affected: This section provides a description of, the class, type and the quantity of ASME Code components affected. It ensures that each affected component, weld, etc. is listed, not just referenced generically. For example, it includes the component number, Code Examination Category, Code Item Number, weld identification numbers, etc.
5.1.2 Applicable Code Edition and Addenda: This section provides the Code Edition and Addenda that are applicable to the program interval for the request.
5.1.3 Applicable Code Requirement: This section provides the specific Code requirement (e.g., section, subsection, and paragraph and the text of the Code requirement) from which relief is being requested.
5.1.4 Reason for Request: This section provides a brief description of how the Code requirement applies to the situation and the reason for the request. It describes the hardship or unusual difficulty the Code requirement causes and why there is no compensating increase in level of quality or safety.
5.1.5 Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use: This section describes the proposed alternative to the applicable Code requirement. Sketches may be provided as applicable. This section also provides technical justification as to how the proposed alternative will provide an acceptable level of quality and safety to that of the applicable Code requirement.

The ISI Classification Boundary Drawings are listed in Table A-6-5.1.
The system Inservice Inspection classifications, developed specifically to define the extent to which Section XI requirements will be applied, differ somewhat from the ASME Section III design classifications. These differences occur because systems, or portions of systems, have been optionally upgraded in design and because ISI classifications are limited to safety related systems which contain water, steam, or radioactive materials. The guidance provided by NUREG 0800, Regulatory Guide 1.26, and 10 CFR 50 were used in establishing these boundaries.
6.2 Inservice Inspection (ISI) Isometric Drawings for Class 1 and 2 Components and their Supports The ASME Section XI, Class 1 and 2 isometrics referenced in Table A-6-5.2 of this program identify components subject to inservice inspection. Drawings are updated to conform to as-built configuration of plant piping systems following modifications.

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 29 7.0 ISI-NDE Program Plan Summary Tables The following provides a summary of the application of ASME Code,Section XI, 2013 Edition for the Fermi 2 ISI Fourth Inspection Interval. The application and distribution of examinations for this interval is based upon the requirements as defined by Articles IWB-2411, IWC-2411, and IWD-2411 of Section XI.
The results of this application are summarized by ASME Category and Item Number and are contained in Enclosure 1. Only those ASME Item Numbers that are relevant to Fermi 2 are contained in the enclosure. Enclosure 1 also identifies the number of components selected originally for examination during the fourth inspection interval and provides a schedule by period, for the applicable required examinations to be performed. This schedule will be adhered to as much as practical, recognizing that maintenance or other activities may result in unanticipated opportunities for other inspections. Adjustments may be made to this initial period schedule as long as the Section XI minimum/maximum percentage examination requirements for each period are met. Scheduling and tracking of exam completion for the required inspections and tests will be done using IDDEAL software.

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 34 7.1.9 EXAMINATION CATEGORY B-L-2 PUMP CASINGS This category requires a visual VT-3 examination on pump internal surfaces when disassembled. The recirculation pumps are the only Class 1 pumps.
B-L-2 requires examination of one pump in each pump group performing similar functions in the system. However, this examination is only required when a pump is disassembled for maintenance or repair. This examination will be selected and schedule when one of the recirculation pumps is disassembled for maintenance or repair.
This meets the Examination Category B-L-2 examination requirements in the 2013 Edition.
7.1.10 EXAMINATION CATEGORY B-M-2 VALVE BODIES This category involves the examination of valve bodies greater than NPS 4. There are sixty valves at Fermi 2 within this examination category. The valves are placed into nineteen groups. B-M-2 examinations are limited to at least one valve within each group of valves that are of the same size, constructural design, and manufacturing method and that perform similar functions in the system. However, the visual VT-3 examination is only required when a valve is disassembled for maintenance or repair. This examination will be selected and scheduled when a valve is disassembled for maintenance or repair, unless the examination requirement has already been met for its valve group over the course of the interval.
This meets the Examination Category B-M-2 examination requirements in the 2013 Edition.
7.1.11 EXAMINATION CATEGORIES B-N-1 INTERIOR OR REACTOR VESSEL AND B-N-2 WELDED CORE SUPPORT STRUCTURES AND INTERIOR ATTACHMENTS TO REACTOR VESSELS This category addresses the reactor vessel internal surfaces and the welded attachments within and beyond the beltline region. Fermi 2 has submitted a Request for Alternative RR-A39 to implement the Boiling Water Reactor Vessel Internals Project requirements in lieu of those contained in this category. Therefore, there are no examinations performed under Examination Categories B-N-1 or B-N-2. These Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 37 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 35 examinations will be documented under the Reactor Vessel Internals Management Program (Conduct Manual MES47).

Fermi 2 has 40 peripheral control rod drives each with two welds. These are the Tube-to-Flange and the Tube-to-Tube welds. Therefore, 4 control rod drives (total of eight welds) are selected for examination. The examination requirement is either a volumetric or surface examination. Fermi 2 has elected to perform the surface examination.
This meets the Examination Category B-O examination requirements in the 2013 Edition.
7.1.13 EXAMINATION CATEGORY C-A PRESSURE RETAINING WELDS IN PRESSURE VESSELS This category addresses examination of the pressure retaining welds in the RHR Heat Exchangers. Fermi 2 has implemented Code Case N-716-1 which determined that the RHR Heat Exchangers are Low Safety Significant (LSS) and therefore no examinations are required.
7.1.14 EXAMINATION CATEGORY C-B PRESSURE RETAINING NOZZLE WELDS IN VESSELS This category addresses examination of the nozzle welds in the RHR Heat Exchanges. Fermi 2 has implemented Code Case N-716-1 which determined that the RHR Heat Exchangers are Low Safety Significant (LSS) and therefore no examinations are required.
7.1.15 EXAMINATION CATEGORY C-C WELDED ATTACHMENTS FOR VESSELS, PIPING, PUMPS, AND VALVES This category addresses examination of the welded attachments on vessels, piping, pumps, and valves.
Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 38 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 36 Item C3.10 - Fermi 2 has two Residual Heat Removal Heat Exchangers with several attachments each. There are two welds per welded attachment (one weld on each side). Note 6 of Table IWC-2500-1 states for multiple vessels of similar design, function, and service, only one welded attachment of only one of the multiple vessels shall be selected for examination. Therefore, two welds (for one welded attachment) are selected for examination.
Item C3.20 - For piping, a sample of 10% of the welded attachments associated with the component supports selected for examination under IWF-2510 shall selected for examination. Fermi 2 has no Class 2 pump or valve welded attachments.
7.1.16 EXAMINATION CATEGORY C-F-2 PRESSURE RETAINING WELDS IN CARBON OR LOW ALLOY STEEL PIPING This category addresses piping welds. Fermi Unit 2 has developed a Risk-Informed Program implementing Code Case N-716-1. All Examination Category C-F-2 welds have been re-categorized as R-A welds in accordance with N-716-1. Therefore, no examinations will be performed per Examination Category C-F-2.
7.1.17 EXAMINATION CATEGORY D-A WELDED ATTACHMENTS FOR VESSELS, PIPING, PUMPS, AND VALVES This category addresses welded attachments on vessels, piping, pumps, and valves.
Item D1.10 Fermi 2 has twelve Emergency Diesel Generator Heat Exchangers that use Diesel Generator Service Water as cooling water, with multiple welded attachments each. Only one welded attachment is required to be selected and examined for each similar vessel. Therefore one welded attachment on one Air Cooler, one Jacket Cooler and one Oil Cooler will be examined.
Item D1.20 Fermi 2 has a total of 90 piping welded attachments with 10% or 9 being selected for examination.
Item D1.30 Fermi 2 has four Emergency Diesel Generator Service Water Pumps with one welded attachment each, two Emergency Equipment Service Water Pumps with one welded attachment each, and four Residual Heat Removal Service Water Pumps with one welded attachment each.

These documents discuss the examination requirements for Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC) in BWR Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping. References to Generic Letter (GL) 88-01 within the ISI Program refer to the comprehensive commitments to all of these
-75 and BWRVIP-75-A revised inspection schedules were based on consideration of inspection results and service experience gained by the industry since issuance of GL 88-01 and USNRC NUREG-0313, and includes additional knowledge regarding the benefits of improved BWR water chemistry.
Since the issuance of GL 88-01, the BWR Vessels and Internals Project (BWRVIP) have been created. This BWR owners group has worked on the mitigation of IGSCC for BWR reactor vessel internal components. As part of their activities, EPRI Topical Report TR-Vessel and Internals Project, Technical Basis for Revisions to Generic Letter 88-01 Inspection Schedules (BWRVIP--1012621, o Generic Letter 88-01 Inspection Schedules (BWRVIP Among other issues, this document proposed alternative inspection schedules for IGSCC susceptible welds. Two different inspection schedules were presented; one for plants on Normal Water Chemistry (NWC) and one for plants on effective Hydrogen Water Chemistry (HWC).

Approval Letter for BWRVIP Revisions to Generic Letter 88-ed March 16, 2006).
Based upon USNRC endorsement of BWRVIP-75-A, the Fermi 2 GL 88-01 (IGSCC) inspection schedule was updated to the requirements of BWRVIP-75-A except for Category A welds. (See Risked-Informed Inservice Inspection discussion below).
RI-ISI guidelines have been invoked for Fermi 2 in this ISI-NDE Program Plan. Under these guidelines, ISI Class 1 and 2 piping are inspected in accordance with Code Case N-716-1 which is approved by the USNRC in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.147 Revision 18. The inspection population for N-716-1 credits some welds inspected as part of the BWRVIP-75-A population, however, the inspection percentages of both guidance documents are independently met.
Purpose:
Austenitic stainless steel and dissimilar metal circumferential welds in piping four inches or larger in nominal pipe diameter which contain reactor coolant at temperature above 200°F during power operation shall be examined in accordance with the requirements of BWRVIP-75-A. Sample expansion of Categories B, C, D, or E weldments shall be in accordance with BWRVIP-75-A. Generic Letter 88-01 was issued by the NRC in 1988 to seek information regarding implementation of the new staff positions covering the industry issues with IGSCC. The staff positions were developed to cover the following subjects:
- 1. Materials
- 2. Processes
- 3. Water Chemistry1
- 4. Weld Overlay Reinforcement
- 5. Partial Replacement
- 6. Stress Improvement of Cracked Weldments
- 7. Clamping Devices
- 8. Crack Characterization and Repair Criteria
- 9. Inspection Methods and Personnel1
- 10. Inspection Schedules1
- 11. Sample Expansion1
- 12. Leak Detection 1 With the implementation of BWRVIP-75A these commitments are superseded by the guidance in BWRVIP-75A.

remedial actions are taken, BWR plants may not be in conformance with their current design and This augmented examination implements the NRC Positions related to inspection of austenitic stainless steel piping in boiling water reactor environment which are susceptible to IGSCC.
Because of improved water chemistry that significantly reduced the propensity for initiation and growth of IGSCC, plus improved examination procedures/techniques for the detection and sizing of IGSCC, new inspection criteria was subsequently developed and incorporated in BWRVIP-75-A.
In addition during the construction phase, Fermi 2 performed the following countermeasures:
COUNTERMEASURE NUMBER OF WELDS Induction Heat Stress Improvement (IHSI) 791 Corrosion Resistant Cladding 201 Mechanical Stress Improvement Process (MSIP) 27 Solution Heat Treatment 38 Total 164 120 welds received both Induction Stress Improvement and Corrosion Resistant Cladding.
The following Inspection Categories were established based on the GL 88-01/NUREG-0313 requirements.
Category A Weldments with no known cracks that are made from materials that are considered resistant to IGSCC due to their metallurgical properties. Welds joining cast pump and valve bodies to resistant materials are also considered to be Category A unless the weld material is considered susceptible. Fermi has thirty-eight (38) welds that are Category A.
Category B - Weldments made from material that is considered susceptible to IGSCC, but the propensity for IGSCC was mitigated by stress improvement prior to two cycles of operation. NOTE: Fermi 2 has one hundred six (106) welds that have corrosion resistant cladding on the inside diameter of the piping. These welds would normally be considered IGSCC Category A welds per the requirements of BWRVIP-75A/Generic Letter 88-01.
However, the cladding was only applied to the fabricated spool pieces and not the base material on the other side of the field welds. As a conservative measure, Fermi 2 has made the decision to categorize these welds as IGSCC Category B welds.
Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 49 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 47 Category C - Weldments made from material that is considered susceptible to IGSCC, but the propensity for IGSCC was mitigated by stress improvement after more than two cycles of operation. Fermi 2 has no welds in this Category.
Category D - Weldments made from material that is considered susceptible to IGSCC where there is no mitigation by stress improvement. Fermi 2 has welds designated as IGSCC Category D* welds. These welds are non-Code Class ANSI B31.1 piping welds which are being examined as an Owner Elected examination. (Reference Part A, Section 8.6 for additional information on these examinations.)
Category E - Weldments with cracks that have been overlaid with IGSCC-resistant material. Additionally, weldments with cracking that are mitigated by an effective stress improvement process may be considered Category E. Fermi 2 has no welds in this Category.
Category F Weldments with cracking that have not been mitigated by an effective stress improvement process. Fermi 2 has no welds in this Category.
Category G Weldments made from material that is considered susceptible to IGSCC that have not been examined. Fermi 2 has no welds in this Category.

The acceptable second mitigator is heat sink welding (HSW), mechanical stress improvement (MSIP), induction heating stress improvement (IHSI), solution annealing or hydrogen water chemistry (HWC).
- b. During the selection of locations for inspection, consideration should be given regarding locations where IGSCC could be accelerated by crevice corrosion or thermal fatigue. In addition, locations having attributes that would promote IGSCC should have higher priority for inspection. The attributes that may be considered include: high carbon or low ferrite content, crevice or stagnant flow condition, evidence of weld repair, surface cold work, and high fit-up, residual and operating stresses.
- 4. If qualified IGSCC examinations have not been conducted, the inspection frequency for Category B welds will be 25 percent of the population every 6 years under NWC conditions, or 25 percent every 10 years under HWC conditions.
- 5. The licensee must ensure that an effective stress improvement was achieved. Additionally, there must have been either:
(a) a preservice (post-stress improvement) and inservice examination with a qualified procedure with no cracking identified or (b) for welds that were stress-improved prior to publication of BWRVIP-75-A but did not receive a preservice examination, at least one examination performed with a qualified procedure after more than two operating cycles and no cracking detected.
- 6. If a flawed weld is stress improved and becomes Category E, a preservice examination must be performed followed by two successive inservice examinations using qualified procedures, to be performed every second refueling outage (i.e., a repeat inspection after two cycles and another inspection after two more cycles).
Sample Expansion If cracking is detected in any Category B weld as part of a sample examination, an additional sample of approximately the same number of welds from the category will be examined. The sample should be similar in distribution (size, system, etc.) to the original sample unless there is a Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 52 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 50 technical basis for selecting a different sample. If cracking is detected in any welds in the expanded sample, all remaining welds in that Category are to be examined.
Category D* welds are examined on a sample basis and if cracking is detected, the remaining Category D welds are to be examined. However, if technically justified, the sample expansion may be limited to the piping system in which cracking was initially detected.

Background:
The One-Time Inspection of Small-Bore Piping Program is a new program that is derived from the program described in NUREG--Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping Program.
Section XI (2013 Edition) requirements and is applicable to ASME Code Class 1 piping and components with a nominal pipe size diameter greater than or equal to 1 inch NPS and less than 4 inches NPS. These exams are in Class 1 systems that have not experienced cracking. Fermi 2 has not experienced cracking of Class 1 small-bore piping due to stress corrosion, cyclical (including thermal, mechanical, and vibration fatigue) loading, or thermal stratification and thermal turbulence. The program can also be used for systems that have experienced Small-bore pipe cracking but have implemented design changes to effectively mitigate cracking.
This program provides a one-time volumetric or opportunistic destructive inspection (socket welds only) of ASME Class 1 piping butt weld locations and socket weld locations that are susceptible to cracking.
This program includes a sampling approach. Sample selection is based on susceptibility to stress corrosion, cyclic loading (including thermal, mechanical, and vibration fatigue), thermal stratification and thermal turbulence, and failure history. Since Fermi 2 will not have more than 30 years of operation at time of submitting the license renewal application, the inspections include 10% of the weld population or a maximum of 25 welds of each weld type (e.g., full penetration and socket weld).
Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 56 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part A Page 54 The program includes measures to verify that degradation is not occurring, thereby either confirming that there is no need to manage aging-related degradation or validating the effectiveness of any existing program for the period of extended operation. If evidence of cracking is revealed by this one-time inspection, it will be entered into the Corrective Action Program to determine extent of condition and a follow-up periodic inspection will be managed by a plant-specific program. Flaws or indications are evaluated in accordance with the ASME Code.

Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 84 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part E Page 2 RI-ISI LIVING PROGRAM EVALUATION Introduction The objective of the RI-ISI program is to provide an alternative method for selecting and categorizing piping and components into HSS and LSS groups for the purpose of developing a RI-ISI program as an alternative to the ASME Section XI requirement for Examination Categories B-F, B-J, C-A, C-B, C-F-1, and C-F-2. Fermi 2 uses Code Case N-716-1. The NRC has approved this code case in Regulatory Guide 1.147. The code case was placed in Table 1 of the Regulatory Guide and approved with no conditions.
Purpose The RI-ISI program outlines an acceptable alternative approach to the existing Section XI requirements for the scope and frequency of piping examination.
Historical Information In the Second Ten-Year Interval at Fermi 2, a Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection (RI-ISI)
Program process was implemented for the selection of Class 1 piping welds for examination as an alternative to ASME Section XI Code requirements. The Fermi 2 RI-ISI Program for the examination of Class 1 piping welds was developed in accordance with the risk-informed process based on EPRI TR-112657, Revision B-A, with identified differences, and with additional guidance taken from ASME Code Case N-578.
This was accomplished using references 1 through 10.
On April 30, 2001, Fermi 2 submitted ISI Relief Request RR-A30 to the NRC, requesting relief from the ASME Section XI Code examination requirements of Class 1 weld (Examination Categories B-F and B-J) inservice inspections by implementing a RI-ISI Program. Relief Request RR-A30 was approved by the NRC in NRC Letter NRC-01-038 dated September 10, 2001. RR-A30 was subsequently updated at the end of the Second Ten-Year Interval and resubmitted for the Third Ten Year Interval.
In the Second Period of the Third Ten-Year Interval, the RI-ISI Program as described above and implemented per a Code Case N-578-1 Risk-Informed Requirements for Class 1, 2, and 3 Piping Method B,Section XI, Division 1, for Class 1 piping only, was converted to a Code Case N-716-1, RI-ISI Program for the remainder of the Third Interval. The application of Code Case N-716-1 included Class 1, 2, 3 and Non-Classed piping and components. The ASME Section XI Code of Record for the Third Interval was the 2001 Edition through the 2003 Addenda. This was documented in References 11 through 16.
Scope Code Case N-716-1 provides alternative requirements to IWB-2420, IWB-2430, Table IWB-2500-1 Examination Category B-F and B-J, IWC-2420, IWC-2430, and Table IWC-2500-1 (excluding Examination Categories C-C and C-H), for inservice inspection of Class 1 piping Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 85 of 150

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part E Page 5 Frequency The inspection periods and inspection interval are defined in Part A. The piping segments and inspection strategy (i.e., frequency, number of examinations, and examination methods) are defined in Part A and Enclosure 1.
During the Fourth 10-Year ISI Interval, Fermi 2 will implement 100% of the inspection locations selected for examination per Code Case N-716-1. This evaluation was documented in Reference
- 17. Examinations shall be performed such that the period percentage requirements of ASME Section XI are met. All Category C-A and C-B welds are considered LSS and do not require examination.
Periodic Updates As part of the implementation of this code case, in accordance with Section 7 of N-716-1, For the 2007 Edition through the latest Edition and Addenda, examination selections made in accordance with this Case shall be reevaluated on the basis of inspection periods that coincide with the inspection program requirements of IWA-2431. For the inspection program, the third period reevaluation will serve as the subsequent inspection interval reevaluation.
The performance of each inspection period reevaluation (PT Event PE99) may be accelerated or delayed by as much as one year. Each reevaluation shall consider the cumulative effects of previous reevaluations.
The reevaluation shall determine if any changes to the HSS/LSS categorization or examination selections need to be made by evaluation of the following:
(a) Plant design changes (e.g., physical: new piping or equipment installation; programmatic:
power uprating/18 to 24 month fuel cycle; and procedural; operating procedure changes).
(b) Changes in postulated conditions or assumptions (e.g., check valve seat leakage greater than previously assumed).
(c) Examination results (e.g., discovery of leakage or flaws).
(d) Failures in HSS or LSS components (e.g., plant-specific or industry occurrences of through-wall or through-weld leakage, failure due to a new degradation mechanism, or a non-postulated mechanism).
(e) PRA updates that would increase the scope (e.g., new initiating events, new system functions, more detailed model used, and initiating event and data changes).
(f) The impact of (a) through (e) on the change-in-risk evaluation.
Corrective Action Program Any corrective action required as the result of RI-ISI examinations shall be handled in accordance with Fermi Corrective Action Program.
Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 88 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part E Page 6 Inservice Inspection Requirements The examinations shall be completed during each 10-year inspection interval with the following exceptions:
a) If during the inspection interval, a reevaluation using the RI-ISI process is conducted and scheduled items are no longer required to be examined, these items may be eliminated.
b) If during the inspection interval, a reevaluation using the RI-ISI process is conducted and items are required to be added to the examination program, those items shall be added in accordance with IWB-2412(b) or IWC-2412(b).
LSS components are exempt from volumetric, surface, and VT-1 and VT-3 Visual Examination requirements of Section XI. HSS vessels, pumps, valves, and pressure-retaining bolting shall be selected and examined in accordance with Section XI. Ten percent of the HSS piping welds shall be selected for examination. The existing plant IGSCC (Generic Letter 88-01, Categories B through G) inspection program may be credited toward the 10% requirement, provided the requirements of N-716-1 are met. The existing plant flow accelerated corrosion program and localized corrosion program, excluding crevice corrosion, may not be credited toward the 10%
requirement. The selection of HSS components for examination is based on Section 4 of Code Case N-716-1.
Preservice Inspections For plants implementing N-716-1 after initial startup, the preservice inspection requirements apply only to HSS components affected by a repair/replacement activity.
a) Vessels, pumps, valves, and pressure-retaining bolting require preservice inspection at least once prior to initial service.
The examination volumes, areas, techniques, and procedures shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section XI.
b) Piping weld examinations, with the exception of VT-2 visual examinations listed in N-716-1 Table 1, shall be performed in accordance with the requirements defined in N716 Table 1 at least once prior to initial service. Examinations shall include all piping welds, with the exception of VT-2 visual examinations listed in N-716-1 Table 1, classified as HSS in accordance with N-716-1.
Successive Examinations Successive examinations shall be in accordance with Section 6 of Code Case N-716-1.
Additional Examinations Additional examinations shall be in accordance with Section 6 of Code Case N-716-1.

NDE required by Subsection IWE shall be conducted by personnel qualified and certified to a written practice based on ANSI/ASNT CP-189 to the current Section XI Code of record for Subsection IWB, IWC, etc., which is the 2013 Edition. All VT certified personnel will be trained on the requirements of IWE.
Code Cases may be used as allowed by USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.147. Code Cases adopted by DTE Electric Company are incorporated in Part D of the overall Fermi 2 ISI-NDE Program Plan. Code Cases not approved in Regulatory Guide 1.147 may be used if approved by NRC in a Relief Request (i.e., Request for Alternative) in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z) (See Appendix F4.4).
1.5. 10 CFR 50.55a Limitations and Modifications The following 10 CFR 50.55a limitations and modifications apply to this Fermi 2 Containment Inservice Inspection (CISI) Program Plan:
10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(ix),Section XI condition: Metal containment examinations.
Licensees applying Subsection IWE, 2007 Edition through the latest edition and addenda incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, must satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (b)(2)(ix)(A)(2), (b)(2)(ix)(B), (b)(2)(ix)(J) and (K) of this section.
(b)(2)(ix)(A)(2) For each inaccessible area identified for evaluation, the applicant or licensee must provide the following in the ISI Summary Report as required by IWA6000:
(A)(2)(i) A description of the type and estimated extent of degradation, and the conditions that led to the degradation; (A)(2)(ii) An evaluation of each area, and the result of the evaluation, and; (A)(2)(iii) A description of necessary corrective actions.
(b)(2)(ix)(B) Metal containment examinations: Second provision. When performing remotely the visual examinations required by Subsection IWE, the maximum direct Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 94 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 4 examination distance specified in Table IWA22111 may be extended and the minimum illumination requirements specified in Table IWA 22111 may be decreased provided that the conditions or indications for which the visual examination is performed can be detected at the chosen distance and illumination.
(b)(2)(ix)(J) Metal containment examinations: Tenth provision. In general, a repair/replacement activity such as replacing a large containment penetration, cutting a large construction opening in the containment pressure boundary to replace steam generators, reactor vessel heads, pressurizers, or other major equipment; or other similar modification is considered a major containment modification. When applying IWE5000 to Class MC pressure-retaining components, any major containment modification or repair/replacement must be followed by a Type A test to provide assurance of both containment structural integrity and leak-tight integrity prior to returning to service, in accordance with 10 CFR part 50, Appendix J, Option A or Option B on which the applicant's or licensee's Containment Leak-Rate Testing Program is based. When applying IWE5000, if a Type A, B, or C Test is performed, the test pressure and acceptance standard for the test must be in accordance with 10 CFR part 50, Appendix J.
(b)(2)(ix)(K) Metal Containment examinations: Eleventh provision. A general visual examination of containment leak chase channel moisture barriers must be performed once each interval, in accordance with the completion percentages in Table IWE-2411-1 of the 2017 Edition. Examination shall include the moisture barrier materials (caulking, gaskets, coatings, etc.) that prevent water from accessing the embedded containment liner within the leak chase channel system. Caps of stub tubes extending to or above the concrete floor interface may be inspected, provided the configuration of the cap functions as a moisture barrier as described previously. Leak chase channel system closures need not be disassembled for performance of examinations if the moisture barrier material is clearly visible without disassembly, or coatings are intact. The closures are acceptable if no damage or degradation exists that would allow intrusion of moisture against inaccessible surfaces of the metal containment shell or liner within the leak chase channel system.
Examinations that identify flaws or relevant conditions shall be extended in accordance with paragraph IWE-2430 of the 2017 Edition. Fermi 2 does not have an embedded leak-chase channel system (e.g., containment basemat metallic shell and liner plate seam welds of pressurized water reactors which are embedded in 3-to 4-feet (0.9-to 1.2-meter) thick concrete floor during construction and are typically covered by a leak-chase channel system that incorporates pressurizing test connections). Although Fermi 2 does have a moisture barrier which is a concrete-to-metal interface moisture barrier examined per the ASME Class MC Examinations Schedule (reference Part F Appendix F4.2), it does not have an embedded leak-chase channel moisture barrier, therefore, (b)(2)(ix)(K) does not apply.
Although not specifically referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(ix) and 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4),
10 CFR approval of their containment inservice inspection programs which were developed to satisfy the requirements of Subsection IWE and Subsection IWL with specified conditions. The program elements and required documentation must be maintained on site Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 95 of 150

3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1. Abnormal Degradation:
A condition that has (1) exceeded the Acceptance Criteria defined in the inspection /
examination procedure, (2) affects the structural integrity and/or leak tightness of the containment vessel, and (3) has been determined by engineering evaluation to be abnormal.
3.2. Accessible Areas:
The definitions of accessible areas (and conversely inaccessible areas), as implemented in this CISI Program Plan, are dependent upon the type of examination being performed.
Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 102 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 12 During the conduct of the general visual examination (IWE-3510) of the containment system, accessible areas are those surface areas that can be readily seen by direct line of sight from available viewing angles from floors, platforms, walkways, ladders or other permanent vantage points, as discussed in IWE-2310(c). The establishment of the line of sight may include measures such as laying on the floor or platforms as necessary to see around or under permanent plant structures, equipment and components; and may include the use of remote visual examination aids such as a set of binoculars or long focus lens cameras.
3.3. Augmented Examination: All examinations which are not required by ASME Section XI, except as identified in 3.3.1 & 3.3.2 below:
3.3.1. Fabrication and installation NDE performed in accordance with Design Specification or Construction Code requirements are not augmented NDE.
3.3.2. Leak rate testing required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, is not augmented NDE.
3.4. Augmented CISI (IWE) Examinations: Augmented examinations performed on Containment System; components, and structures subject to accelerated degradation and aging which are required by ASME Section XI, as a result of the requirements shown in Table IWE-2500-1 for items in Category E-C (See Paragraphs IWE-1240 and IWE-3520).
3.5. Coating Inspection Program: Detroit Edison committed to the NRC on the containment structure as accepted in NUREG-0798 (SSER No. 5) and in accordance with NRC Generic Letter 98-04. Fermi 2 has committed to visually inspect segments of the containment pressure boundary during refuel outages to determine onset of corrosion, blistering or peeling, and coating discoloration of the drywell and torus. The extent of theses inspections will be commensurate with the number of affected areas found.
Suspect areas will be cleaned, surface prepared, and new coatings will be applied. A detail of containment coating is included in Appendix F4.6.
3.6. Components
Denotes items such as vessels, pumps, valves and piping systems.
3.7. Component Supports: A metal support designed to transmit loads from a component to the load carrying building or foundation structure. Component supports include piping supports and encompass those structural elements relied upon to either support the weight or provide structural stability to components.
3.8. Containment Inservice Inspection (CISI): Examinations of containment structures and components as required by ASME Section XI and 10 CFR 50.55a during the service lifetime of Fermi 2.
3.9. Engineering Evaluation: An evaluation of indications that exceed allowable acceptance standards to determine if the margin required by the Design Specification and Construction Code are maintained.
3.10. Evaluation: The process of determining the significance of examination and test results, Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 103 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 13 including the comparison of examination or test results with applicable acceptance criteria or previous results.
3.11. Examination: Denotes the performance of all visual observations and nondestructive examination by personnel qualified / certified in accordance with ANSI/ASNT CP-189.
3.12. Examination Category: A grouping of items to be examined or tested.
3.13. Examination Plan: A schedule of CISI examinations required to be performed during a particular period of time.
3.14. General Corrosion: An approximately uniform wastage of a surface of a component, through chemical or electrochemical action, free of deep pits or cracks.
3.15. Inaccessible Surface Areas: This term applies to surface areas that are embedded or otherwise obstructed from direct visual examination. Inaccessible Surface Areas are discussed in IWE-1232. Examples of surface areas that are considered inaccessible are listed below:
a)
Surface areas that are permanently embedded in concrete.
b)
Surface areas covered by insulation that is permanently sealed by design to prevent the intrusion of moisture.
c)
Surface areas sealed by a moisture barrier that is designed to prevent intrusion of moisture.
d)
Access, for the examination personnel and equipment to conduct the direct visual examination of the surface area, is permanently obstructed.
e)
Access to the surface areas would require removal of existing plant equipment or structure and the original design did NOT provide sufficient space for the removal and storage of the equipment or structure.
f)
Access to the surface areas would require removal of existing plant equipment or structure and the original design did NOT provide a permanently installed handling machinery (e.g., hoists) to facilitate removal, disassembly, and storage.
3.16. Inservice Inspection (ISI): Methods and actions for assuring the structural and pressure-retaining integrity of safety-related nuclear power plant components in accordance with the rules of ASME Section XI.
3.17. Inspection Interval: Normally it is the 10 years following placement of the power unit into initial commercial service and each subsequent 10 years thereafter. In accordance with 10 CFR 50, the inspection interval is 10 years following the date selected to begin the interval.
3.18. Inspection Period: A duration of time within an inspection interval, approximately 40 months long, (i.e., 1st Period, 0-3 years; 2nd Period, 4-7 years; 3rd Period, 8-10 years).
Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 104 of 150

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 15 APPENDIX F4.1 ASME CLASS MC COMPONENTS SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION The ASME Code Class MC components to be examined during the inspection interval are outlined below. Class MC components are identified on the ASME Code Classification drawings of 2.1.
Appendix F4.3 documents the basis for the classification of these components. The examinations apply to surface areas, including welds and base metal.
1.1 Examination Category E-A, Containment Surfaces A. Accessible surface areas General Visual (E-A, E1.11)
The examination boundary includes the steel containment vessel (drywell and torus) including reinforcing structures (stiffening rings, manhole frames, and reinforcement around openings) and their attachment welds. Penetration nozzles (and reinforcement) and associated bellows assembly are also included, as applicable. Surface areas that are submerged or insulated are not included in the examination boundary.
Examination shall include the attachment welds between structural attachments and the pressure retaining boundary or reinforcing structure, except for nonstructural and temporary attachments as defined in NE-4435. Examination shall include the weld metal and base metal for 1/2 inch and beyond the edge of the weld.
Examination shall include surfaces of containment structural and pressure boundary welds, including longitudinal welds (Category A), circumferential welds (Category B), flange welds (Category C), and nozzle-to shell welds (Category D) as defined in NE-3351 for Class MC; and surfaces of Flued Head and Bellows Seal Circumferential Welds joined to the penetration.
The examination shall also include pressure-retaining bolted connections, including bolts, studs, nuts, bushings, washers, and threads in base material and flange ligaments between fastener holes. Bolted connections need not be disassembled for performance of examinations, and bolting may remain in place under tension.
Examination shall include all accessible interior and exterior surfaces of Class MC components, parts, and appurtenances. The examination must be performed once each period per Table IWE-2500-1, Category E-A.
Examinations are performed in accordance with Fermi 2 procedures MES46 and Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 106 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 16 B. Wetted Surfaces of Submerged areas Visual, VT-3 (E-A, E1.12)
The examination boundary is the same as that described in Section 1.1A, except that the examination is limited to portions of primary containment surface areas which are wetted or submerged. The examination may be performed at any time during the interval, provided successive examinations are performed no less frequently than every third period.
C. Vent System accessible surface areas Visual, VT-3 (E-A, E1.20 and E-C, E4.11)
The examination boundary includes the vent piping between the drywell and torus including the flow channeling devices in the torus (e.g., 80 downcomers).
Examination shall include all accessible interior and exterior surfaces. When the Vent System is categorized as E-A, E1.20, the examination may be performed at any time during the interval, provided successive examinations are performed no less frequently than every third period. However, in RF20, the Vent System (i.e.,
the interior lower region of the Torus Vent Header and the downcomers #5, #9,
- 29, #38, #40, #79, and #80) have been re-categorized as Examination Category E-C based on IWE-1241-Examination Surface Areas. The containment surface areas in the Torus Vent Header (e.g., interior vent header lower region intersection assemblies and ck in the interior main runs) and in the lower interior region of the specific downcomers, are subjected to standing water, repeated wetting and drying, and/or mechanical damage, that has resulted in loss of protective coatings. In the torus vent header this has led to substantial corrosion and pitting (i.e., in the vent header interior), as identified in RF20.
Weld repairs to restore thickness at local thinned areas were required during RF20. Therefore, examination of 100% of surface areas identified by IWE-1241 for augmented examination, are required to be examined during each inspection period.
The interior of the torus vent header, specifically the interior vent header
clock, and the interior lower region of the specific downcomers, have been reclassified as requiring augmented examinations in RF21. The exterior of the torus vent header and the interior of the torus vent lines, and the exterior and the interior of the remaining downcomers all remain Examination Category, E-A, E1.20.
D. Moisture Barriers - General Visual (E-A, E1.30)
Examination shall include moisture barrier materials intended to prevent intrusion of moisture against inaccessible areas of the pressure retaining metal containment shell or liner at concrete-to-metal interfaces and at metal-to-metal interfaces which are not seal-welded. Containment moisture barrier materials include caulking, flashing, and other sealants used for this application.
Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 107 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 17 E. Visual Examination of Coatings Preservice and inservice visual examination of coatings shall be performed in accordance with IWE-2600(a).
1.3 Examination Category E-C, Containment Surfaces Requiring Augmented Examination A. Visible Surfaces Visual, VT-1 (E-C, E4.11)
Per IWE-2500(b)(1), surface areas requiring augmented examination that are accessible for visual examination shall be visually examined using a VT-1 visual examination method using the following IWE-1241 criteria:
- 1.
Interior and exterior containment surface areas that are subject to accelerated corrosion with minimal or no corrosion allowance or areas where the absence or repeated loss of protective coatings has resulted in substantial corrosion and pitting. Typical locations of such areas are those exposed to standing water, repeated wetting and drying, persistent leakage, and those with geometries that permit water accumulation, condensation, and microbiological attack. Such areas may include penetration sleeves, surfaces wetted during refueling, concrete-to-steel shell or liner surfaces, embedment zones, leak chase channels, drain areas, or sump liners.
Based on the degraded conditions identified in the interior lower region of the Torus Vent Header in RF20 (e.g., interior vent line intersection assemblies and interior main runs ), such as, failing/missing coating and corrosion of the metal structure (e.g., general corrosion and pitting), and meeting the criteria in IWE-1241, the interior Torus Vent Header lower region has been reclassified as Examination Category (E-C),
examination method is a VT-1, with contingent supplemental UT (Ultrasonic Testing) and physical measurements (e.g., pit depth) as required, per IWE-3200.
In addition, based on the degraded coating conditions (e.g., peeling coating, mechanical damage of coating, and spot corrosion) that was identified in the interior lower region of the downcomers (i.e, #5, #9, #29, #38, #40, #79, and
- 80) in RF20, the remediation for removing degraded coatings that was performed, and the UT data measurements being above the minimum wall thickness for spot corrosion, the interior of these specific downcomers have been reclassified as Examination Category (E-
require augmented examinations in RF22.

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 18
- 2.
Interior and exterior containment surface areas that are subject to excessive wear from abrasion or erosion that causes a loss of protective coatings, deformation, or material loss. Typical locations of such areas are those subject to substantial traffic, sliding pads or supports, pins or clevises, shear lugs, seismic restraints, surfaces exposed to water jets, and areas that experience wear from frequent vibrations.
- 3.
Interior and exterior containment surface areas identified in accordance with IWE-2420(b).
B. Surface Area Grid, Minimum Wall Thickness Location - Volumetric (E-C, E4.12)
Surface areas subject to Category E-C, Item No. E4.12 are those that are not accessible for visual examination from the side requiring augmented examination per IWE-2500(b)(2), (3), and (4). The IWE-1241 criteria noted in Section 1.3.A. are also applicable to these areas.
Refer to MES46 and Appendix F4.2 of this Program Plan for the areas identified for augmented examination in accordance with IWE-1240 and IWE-2500.
1.4 Examination Category E-G, Pressure Retaining Bolting (E-G, E8.10)
All pressure retaining bolting shall be examined using the VT-1 visual examination method. Examination shall include bolts, studs, nuts, bushings, washers, and thread in base material and flange ligaments between fastener holes.
The examination may be performed with the connections assembled and bolting in place under tension, provided the connection is not disassembled during the interval.
If the bolted connection is disassembled for any reason during the interval, the examination shall be performed with the connection disassembled.

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 23 APPENDIX F4.3 ASME CLASS MC CLASSIFICATION BASIS
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this appendix is to document the basis for classification of the components subject to examination and components exempted from examination in accordance with the requirements of ASME Subsection IWE.
10CFR50.55a was revised effective September 9, 1996 to incorporate by reference Class MC, metal containment, and Class CC, concrete containment, components. Class CC is not applicable for Fermi 2, as there are no pressure retaining concrete structures or components within the Fermi 2 containment design. The Class MC boundaries include the Steel Containment Vessel (SCV), which is comprised of the drywell, pressure suppression chamber or torus, and associated vent piping, including vertical and circumferential structural stiffeners; penetrations, reinforcement structure, the portion of the SCV embedded in the drywell concrete floor slab, and attachment welds between structural attachments and the SCV pressure retaining boundary or reinforcing structure.
ASME Section XI, 2013 Edition, IWE-1220(d), requires piping, pumps, and valves that are part of the containment system, or penetrate containment, to be examined in accordance with the rules of IWB (Class 1) or IWC (Class 2), as appropriate to the classification defined by the Design Specification. Piping contained within spare penetrations is considered within the Class MC boundary.
For RF-07 a set of marked-up drawings (prints) was used to identify components and systems to be examined. Following RF-07, a set of CISI drawings was prepared for CISI Program purposes. The Class MC boundaries will be highlighted on the set of CISI prints.
A list of drawings is included in Section 2.
2.0 Class MC Equivalent Components and Examination Boundaries:
As defined in IWE-1210, the examination requirements of Subsection IWE apply to Class MC pressure retaining components and their integral attachments. This section provides the basis for defining the examination boundaries of those components subject to examination. Note that some components or portions of components may be declared inaccessible in later sections or not examined in accordance with submitted Requests for Relief as documented in Appendix 4.4. The ISI drawings referenced in Section 2.1.1 provide the specific component boundaries subject to examination as based on this appendix. The examination requirements for these components are detailed in Appendix F4.1.
The following components, as described in MES46, comprise the Class MC boundaries.
A.
Drywell and associated penetrations are shown on drawing 6C721-2971. The Class MC boundary includes the SCV and associated reinforcing structures (stiffening rings, manhole frames, and reinforcement around openings) and attachment welds between structural attachments and the SCV pressure retaining boundary or Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 114 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 24 reinforcing structure. The drywell head, equipment hatches, and personnel airlock are part of the Class MC boundary. Typical examples of Code Class boundaries between penetrations and process piping are shown in this Appendix. Penetration nozzles /
sleeves (and reinforcement), associated bellows assemblies, and flued head to sleeve (or bellows) welds are part of the Class MC boundary. Spare penetrations and any piping penetrating a spare penetration are part of the Class MC boundary. For electrical penetrations, the header plates which form the pressure retaining boundary and the seal weld to the penetration sleeve are Class MC. Flanges and bolting associated with penetrations are Class MC. In accordance with IWE-pumps, and valves that are part of the containment system, or which penetrate or are attached to the containment ves of IWE-examined in accordance with the requirements of IWB or
are not inspected as Class MC, but Class 2 instead.
Process piping and welds between process piping and flued heads or penetration flanges are not Class MC.
B.
Vent System, drawing 6C721-2972 Section A-A and CBI-213 (B2-111). The Class MC boundary includes the vent pipes extending from the drywell to the torus including the bellows assemblies, the connecting circular vent header in the torus airspace, and the 80 downcomer pipes connected to the vent header and extending into the pool. The Class MC boundary includes associated reinforcing structures (stiffening rings, manhole frames, and reinforcement around openings) and attachment welds between structural attachments and the vent system pressure retaining boundary or reinforcing structure.
The MSIV discharge pipes, which run inside the vent header pipes, are not Class MC.
The drywell to torus vacuum breaker valves are not Class MC.
C.
Pressure Suppression Chamber (torus), drawing 6C721-2972. The Class MC boundary includes the SCV and associated reinforcing structures (stiffening rings, manhole frames, and reinforcement around openings) and attachment welds between structural attachments and the torus pressure retaining boundary or reinforcing structure; structural attachments which perform a pressure retaining function; and welds between non-structural attachments and the SCV. The two access hatches and associated bolting are Class MC. The Class MC boundary extends one-half inch down each ring girder support from its attachment weld to the SCV, and one-half inch out from the attachment weld of each torus snubber support.

ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 34 APPENDIX F4.5 AUGMENTED EXAMINATIONS IWE-1241 provides the selection criteria for those areas requiring augmented
that are subject to accelerated corrosion with no or minimal allowance or areas where the absence or repeated loss of protective coatings has resulted in substantial corrosion and pitting.
Fermi 2 has re-categorized the interior lower region of the Torus Vent Header (e.g.,
as an Examination Category E-C, Containment Surfaces Requiring Augmented Examination, which is in accordance with IWE-1241, Examination Surface Areas. Based on the issues identified in RF20, the Vent System (lower interior Torus Vent Header) was re-categorized as Examination Category E-C. The lower interior areas of the Torus Vent Header were identified as being subjected to standing water, and repeated wetting and drying, which resulted in loss of protective coatings, that has led to substantial corrosion and pitting, as identified in RF20. Weld repairs to restore thickness at local thinned areas were required during RF20. Therefore, examination of 100% of surface areas identified by IWE-1241 for augmented examination, are required to be examined during each inspection period.
During RF21, augmented examinations were completed on the interior lower region of the Torus Vent Header. Based on these examinations, additional areas for repair were identified. The Torus Vent Header was repaired and recoated in RF21. Per IWE-2411
able Examination Category and Item Number for the added item shall be performed during each of the second and third

degradation remain essentially unchanged for the next inspection period, these areas no longer required augmented examination in accordance with Table IWE-2500-1 (E-Therefore, although augmented examinations were completed in RF21, these are also required in the second and third inspection period of the 3rd 10-Year Interval for IWE, until areas of degradation remained unchanged.
In addition, based on the degraded coating conditions (e.g., peeling coating, mechanical damage of coating, and spot corrosion) that was identified in the interior lower region of the downcomers (i.e., #5, #9, #29, #38, #40, #79, and #80) in RF20, and the remediation for removing degraded coatings that was performed, and the UT data measurements being above the minimum wall thickness for spot corrosion, the interior of these specific downcomers have been reclassified as Examination Category (E-C),
conservatism, and will require augmented examinations in RF22. During RF21, limited Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 125 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 35 augmented examinations were completed on the downcomers previously identified above, due to inaccessibility and inability to get the VT-1 distance requirements at the location due to the waterline. Additionally, during RF21 loose coatings were removed at these locations. Per IWE-

IWE-reveal that the flaws or areas of degradation remain essentially unchanged for the next inspection period, these areas no longer required augmented examination in accordance with Table IWE-2500-1 (E-were completed in RF21, these are also required in the second and third inspection period of the 3rd 10-Year Interval for IWE, until areas of degradation remained unchanged.
Additionally, for Inspection the IWE program requires that the drywell shell thickness in the sand cushion region be determined before the period of extended operation and once in each ten year interval during the period of extended operations. Therefore, NDE were performed in RF20 (2020) and in RF18 (2017). All measured thicknesses specified on CB&I Drawing C-2701 (General Plan). UT readings started at 120°
Two readings were taken The
elevation between 120° Azimuth and 195° Azimuth, and the minimum measured reading This is not currently classified as an area subject to augmented examinations.
Historically since RF-01, Fermi 2 has monitored the blister condition on specific immersed areas of the Torus. Those areas were chosen based on their relatively high number of indications when compared to the rest of the immersed area. During each inspection time frame, every other refuel, the size, population density and condition of the blisters are monitored. A significant growth or number of blisters could indicate impending general coating failure. From RF-04 to RF-19 an increase in the total number blisters was noted in each evaluation area, however there has been no significant change in the blister size.
boundary invert in a continuous band paralleling either side of the mitigation beam and approximately up twelve (12) f mechanical damage exhibiting corrosion on the pressure boundary immersion area are repaired. In RF19, a total collective surface area of approximately nine hundred thirty-four square inches (934 in2). An a total surface area of this repair is two-thousand-three-hundred-four square inches (2,304 Enclosure to NRC-24-0050 Page 126 of 150
ISI NDE Program Revision 14 Change 0 Part F Page 36 in2). Then in RF20, the coating of the interior wetted region of the Torus was removed and recoated, as well as, the exterior of the downcomers. The interior wetted region of the Torus is not currently classified as an area subject to accelerated corrosion, thus does not require augmented examinations. This is due to the UT data that was collected during RF20, which documented no significant corrosion or wall loss of the interior wetted region of the Torus. Additionally, as discussed above, this area has been recoated. Fermi 2 performs examinations of the interior surface of the torus in the wetted and vapor region in accordance with ASME Section XI, Table IWE-2500-1 (E-A) Examination Category E-A, Containment Surfaces.

Note 2: When bolts or studs are removed for examination, surface examination meeting the acceptance standards of IWB-3515 may be substituted for volumetric examination. (Ref. Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-G-1, Note 7).
Note 3: Reactor Vessel Threads in Flange do not require examination per Request for Alternative RR-A41 which implements Code Case N-864.
Note 4: Bushings are required to be examined only when the bolting is removed. There are normally four studs removed each refueling outage to allow access in moving the fuel. Bushings may be examined in place.
Note 5: Not required unless disassembled. Examination includes 1 in. (25 mm) annular surface of flange surrounding each stud (Ref.
Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-G-1, Note 6).
Note 6: Volumetric examination of bolting of pumps may be conducted on one pump among a group of pumps that are similar in design, type, and function. In addition, when the component to be examined contains a group of bolted connections of similar design and size, such as flanged connections, the examination may be conducted on one bolted connection among the group.
(Ref. Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-G-1, Note 3).
Note 7: Visual examination of bolting for pumps is required only when the component is examined under Examination Category B-L-2.
Examination of a bolted connection is required only once during the interval. (Ref. Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-G-1, Note 4).
Note 8: Cumulative Percentage is provided for information as some of these items are not required to be examined unless they are disassembled and others can be deferred to the end of the interval.

Notes for Cat. C-C Note 1: For multiple vessels of similar design, function, and service, only one welded attachment of only one of the multiple vessels shall be selected for examination. For single vessels, only one welded attachment shall be selected for examination. (Ref.
Table IWC-2500-1, Examination Category C-C, Note 6). Fermi 2 has identified each single weld with an individual weld number (welds on each side of the attachment). Therefore, two welds are required to be examined for each attachment.
Note 2: For piping, pumps, and valves, a sample of 10% of the welded attachments associated with the component supports selected for examination under IWF-2510 shall be examined. (Ref. Table IWC-2500-1 Examination Category C-C, Note 7). There are a total of 404 piping supports (excluding snubbers), 69 of those supports have been selected for examination under IWF-2510.
Of those supports selected for examination only 27 have welded attachments, 10% or 3 would require examination. Snubbers shall be selected for examination in conjunction with the O&M visual selection each outage. If the snubbers selected for examination have associated welded attachments, the welded attachments shall be added to the total piping attachment population and additional inspections shall be performed, if necessary.
Note 3: Examination is required whenever component support member deformation, e.g., broken, bent, or pulled out parts, is identified during operation, refueling, maintenance, examination, or testing. (Ref. Table IWC-2500-1, Examination Category C-C, Note 5).

D-A Note 1: For multiple vessels of similar design, function and service, in systems the Owner has determined the welded attachments to be subject to corrosion, such as the welded attachments to the Service Water or Emergency Service Water Systems, one welded attachment of only one of the multiple vessels shall be selected for examination. For single vessels, only one welded attachment shall be selected for examination. The attachment selected for examination on one of the multiple vessels or the single vessel, as applicable, shall be an attachment under continuous load during normal system operation, or an attachment subject to a potential intermittent load (seismic, water hammer, etc.) during normal system operation if an attachment under continuous load does not exist. For welded attachments of piping, pumps, and valves, a 10% sample of the welded attachments in systems the Owner has determined the welded attachments to be subject to corrosion, such as the welded attachments to the Service Water or Emergency Service Water Systems, shall be selected for examination (Reference Table IWD-2500-1, Category D-A, Note 6 and 7).
Note 2: There are twelve Diesel Generator Service Water Heat Exchangers (multiple welded attachments each). This results in one welded attachment being selected for each similar vessel or 3 of 12 or 25%.
Note 3: There are 93 RHRSW, DGSW, and EESW piping supports with welded attachments. EECW is the only Class 3 system not subject to corrosion. As discussed in DBD P44-00, the system contains treated demineralized water and is monitored to ensure the chemistry is maintained for corrosion protection. Three of the welded attachments are shared by another pipe support, so the total piping welded attachment population is 90. Therefore 9 welded attachments require inspection.
Note 4: There are four Emergency Diesel Generator Service Water (EDGSW) Pumps with one attachment each, two Emergency Equipment Service Water (EESW) Pumps with one attachment each, and four Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) Pumps with one attachment each. This results in one welded attachment being selected.
Note 5: Examination is required whenever component support member deformation, e.g., broken, bent, or pulled out parts is identified during operation, refueling, maintenance, examination, or testing. (Ref. Table IWD-2500-1, Examination Category D-A, Note 5).
