2-51 2-52 3-93 3-99 Description of Change:
SLRA Table 2.3.1-1, which lists reactor vessel component types subjected to aging management review, will be revised to include Insulation (reactor vessel) with the Intended Function of thermal resistance. Similarly, Table 3.1.2-1, Reactor Vessel, Reactor Internals, and Reactor Coolant System -
Reactor Vessel - Aging Management Evaluation, will be revised to include an Aging Management Review (AMR) line item for Insulation (reactor vessel). The new AMR line item will be similar to that for Insulation (pressurizer) in SLRA Table 3.1.2-3, page 3-135.
SLRA Tables 2.3.1-1 and 3.1.2-1 will be supplemented to remove the intended function of Pressure Boundary for the Core Flood Nozzle Flow Restrictors. The Table 3.1.2-1 line item for Core Flood Nozzle Flow Restrictors will be supplemented to include Cumulative Fatigue Damage as an aging effect, which is managed as a Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAA). After the SLRA is supplemented with these changes, the SLRA will state that the Aging Management Review results for the Core Flood Nozzle Flow Restrictors (venturi) show that the only intended function is Flow Restriction, and that the aging effect of Cumulative Fatigue Damage is managed as a TLAA. SLRA Section 4.3.2.1 states that the effects of fatigue on the intended functions of the reactor vessel (which includes the venturi) will be managed by the Fatigue Monitoring Aging Management Program.

4-57 Description of Change:
SLRA Section 4.3.2.1 will be updated to address the reactor vessel support skirt. The TLAA Disposition will be updated to state, The effects of fatigue on the intended functions of the reactor vessels, including the reactor vessel support skirts, will be adequately managed by the Fatigue Monitoring Aging Management Program (AMP) (B3.1) for the Subsequent Period of Extended Operation (SPEO).
SLRA Section 4.3.2.1 (page 4-57) is revised as follows:
TLAA Disposition: 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii):
The effects of fatigue on the intended functions of the reactor vessels, including the reactor vessel support skirt, will be adequately managed by the Fatigue Monitoring AMP (B3.1) for the SPEO.
4.3.2.2 Reactor Vessel Internals TLAA
Description:
As described in BAW-2248A [Reference 4.3-4], Sections 2.0 and 4.5.1, the reactor vessel internals were designed and constructed prior to the development of ASME Code requirements for core support structures. Because of the lack of specific ASME design rules for core support structures at the time of design and construction of the Oconee reactor vessel internals,Section III of the ASME code was used as a guideline for the design criteria for the reactor vessel internals. Qualification of the internals was accomplished by both analytical and test methods.

Updated PWR Vessel Internals Operating Experience Discussion (TRP-16)
SLRA Section:
SLRA Appendix B2.1.7 SLRA Page No:
B-78 B-80 B-81 Description of Change:
For the Operating Experience (OE) subsection, OE Item 2, revise Unit 1 to Unit 3 to reflect the correct unit in which an indication was found during a lower grid rib inspection in 2014. A review confirmed that the correct unit for this inspection was Unit 3.
For the Operating Experience subsection, OE Item 9, revise a term in bullet (c) from one barrel- to-former bolt to one baffle-to-former bolt to reflect the correct bolting item. A review confirmed that baffle-to-former bolt is correct for the Unit 3 inspection in 2013.
Add a paragraph to the Operating Experience subsection to describe that the results from ONS reactor internals inspections are provided to the EPRI MRP for compilation into biennial industry operating experience reports of recent MRP-227-A inspection results, and to provide the MRP report names and ADAMS Accession Numbers for recent biennial industry reports that contain ONS reactor internals inspection results.
SLRA Appendix B2.1.7 (page B-78) is revised as follows:
- 2. In 2014, an indication in the Oconee Unit 1 3 lower grid rib section was discovered while inspecting an adjacent component. Prior to discovery of the indication, inspection of the lower grid rib section was not required by MRP-227-A. As a result of this inspection finding, the lower grid rib section was added as an expansion component to MRP-227, Revision 1-A and is being upgraded to a primary item for SLR.
OE example 2 provides objective evidence that plant-specific OE that potentially involves aging is evaluated and used to adjust the program as necessary.
SLRA Appendix B2.1.7 (page B-80) is revised as follows:
- 9. Oconee Unit 2, 2013: (a) various issues were found with the vent valve jack-screw locking devices (see OE example 7); (b) one lower core barrel bolt with a crack-like indication was discovered during ultrasonic testing; (c) one barrel baffle-to-former bolt was not inspectable due to incorrect probe seating; (d) two flow distributor bolts with crack-like indications were discovered during ultrasonic testing. The corrective action program was used to address the relevant conditions identified during the examinations. A causal evaluation found that the vent valve condition was legacy damage caused by contact with the plenum assembly as it was being manipulated during previous refueling outages. Contact between the vent valve and plenum assembly was found to be caused by inadequacies associated with the Internals lifting equipment; the lifting equipment issues were resolved. Other actions included an evaluation which showed that the accident analysis for core bypass flow bounded potential leakage past the damaged vent valve (completed). The vent valve was replaced. Actions to address the conditions found for other internals components included (a) structural evaluations (completed), (b) evaluations of potential impacts to fuel performance (completed), and (c) loose parts evaluations (completed). These evaluations identified no impacts to the safe operation of the plant or to the ability of the Internals to perform their intended functions.
SLRA Appendix B2.1.7 (page B-81) is revised as follows:
The above examples of OE provide objective evidence that the aging management activities and methods being implemented by the PWR Vessel Internals AMP will be effective in managing aging effects prior to loss of intended function for the SPEO.
Summary reports of ONS reactor internals inspections and monitoring, items requiring evaluations, and new repairs, are provided periodically to the EPRI MRP for compilation into biennial industry reports of recent MRP-227-A inspection results. The industry reports assist in the review of operating experience and required monitoring and trending for aging management programs established by the industry. The issued industry reports that contain ONS inspection data are MRP 2014-009 (ADAMS Accession Numbers ML14135A383, ML14135A384, and ML14135A385) and MRP 2016-008 (ADAMS Accession Number ML16144A789).
Appropriate guidance for evaluation or corrective actions for additional inspections, reevaluation, repairs, or replacements is provided for locations where aging effects are found. Periodic assessments of the PWR Vessel Internals AMP are performed to identify the areas that need improvement to maintain effective performance of the program. The program is informed and enhanced, when necessary, through the systematic and ongoing review of both plant-specific and industry operating experience.

A4.6.3 Containment Penetrations Fatigue Analysis The interior surface of the containment is lined with welded steel plate to provide an essentially leak tight barrier. At all penetrations, the liner plate is thickened to reduce stress concentrations of the liner plate.
ONS Units 1, 2 and 3 process lines that penetrate the primary containment and experience significant thermal expansion and contraction are solidly anchored to the containment wall. These high temperature lines penetrating the containment wall and liner plate are the main steam and feedwater lines.
The transient cycles considered in the main steam and feedwater penetrations analyses were projected for 80 years of operation and the count found to be adequate for the SPEO. The Fatigue Monitoring (A3.1) aging management program will monitor and track the relevant transients to manage fatigue of the main steam and feedwater penetrations during the SPEO in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii).

3-26 A-67 Description of Change:
The SLRA Further Evaluation Recommendation Section 3.1.2.2.3, Loss of Fracture Toughness Due to Neutron Irradiation Embrittlement, requires an update such that the Evaluation Statement 3.1.1-015 is revised to [3.1.1-015] - Reduction in Fracture Toughness is a TLAA as defined in 10 CFR 54.3 and is evaluated in Section 4.7, Other Plant-Specific Time-Limited Aging Analyses.
SLRA Section A4.7.1.1, Reduction in Fracture Toughness Due to Neutron Embrittlement, requires an update to describe that ANP-3899P/NP provides the evaluation which demonstrates that the analysis reported in BAW-10008, Part 1, Revision 1 remains valid for the subsequent period of extended operation.
SLRA Section 3.1.2.2.3 (page 3-26) is revised as follows:
[3.1.1-015] - Reduction in Fracture Toughness is a TLAA as defined in 10 CFR 54.3 and is evaluated in Section 4.2, Reactor Vessel Neutron Embrittlement Analysis. Section 4.7, "Other Plant-Specific Time-Limited Aging Analyses."
SLRA Appendix A4.7.1.1 (page A-67) is revised as follows:
The NRC staff review of this 60-year evaluation concluded that the licensee had projected the neutron fluence for the reactor vessel Internals using an acceptable methodology consistent with RG 1.190. For subsequent license renewal, reduction in fracture toughness due to neutron embrittlement of the reactor vessel internals relative to the evaluation of BAW-10008, Part 1, Revision 1 must be evaluated for 80 years.
ANP-3899P/NP provides an assessment of the applicability of BAW-10008, Part 1, Revision 1, for 80 years.
Each reactor vessel Internals item addressed in BAW-10008, Part 1, Revision 1 is assessed in accordance with one of three process steps (i.e., Categories 1-3) for Faulted Conditions to determine if each reactor vessel Internals item should be considered potentially susceptible to an unacceptable amount of reduction of ductility at 72 EFPY. This multi-step assessment was completed for the Oconee reactor vessel internals. Based on the assessments, the effect of irradiation on the material properties and deformation limits of the reactor vessel Internals at all three units at Oconee is acceptable for an 72 EFPY lifetime such that the internals will have adequate ductility to absorb local strain at the regions of maximum stress intensity, and that irradiation will not adversely affect deformation limits under faulted condition loadings for the SPEO. The analyses reported in BAW-10008, Part 1, Revision 1, remain valid for the subsequent period of extended operation and are managed by the PWR Vessel Internals Program (B2.1.7, GALL-SLR XI.M16A), in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(iii), consistent with the current licensing basis.

B-123 Description of Change:
The Fire Water System program description is revised to include a statement regarding trending of results related to flushing of Fire Water System piping and hose stations.
SLRA Appendix B2.1.16 (page B-123)
B2.1.16 FIRE WATER SYSTEM Program Description The Fire Water System AMP is an existing condition monitoring program that manages loss of material and flow blockage for water-based fire protection systems that consist of sprinklers, nozzles, valve bodies, fire pump casings, hydrants, hose stations, standpipes, aboveground and underground piping and piping components, strainers, and the elevated water storage tank. The program also manages loss of coating integrity of the internal coating of the elevated water storage tank. This program relies on flow testing, visual inspections, and volumetric examination to ensure that loss of material due to due to general, pitting and crevice corrosion, microbiologically influenced corrosion, or fouling, and flow blockage due to fouling is adequately managed.
The high pressure service water system is normally maintained at required operating pressure and is monitored such that loss of system pressure is detected. The Keowee fire detection/protection system is normally charged by static head from Lake Keowee. System flow downstream of the Keowee fire pump is monitored such that leakage from a normally stagnant line would be detected. Monitoring of operating parameters of the high pressure service water system and Keowee fire detection/protection system ensure prompt corrective actions can be initiated if leakage occurs.
The system flow testing, visual inspections and volumetric inspections ensure that aging effects are managed such that the system intended functions are maintained. Flow testing results are reviewed and trended to identify degrading trends prior to loss of system function. Unexpected results from flushing such as increased time to flush a line or the amount of sediment, corrosion products, or debris are entered into the corrective action program for evaluation and trending. Inspections and tests are performed by personnel qualified in accordance with station procedures and programs to perform the specified task. The program ensures that testing and inspection activities have been performed and documented. Abnormal results are entered into the corrective action program for review and resolution.
The Fire Water System program will include testing of a representative sample of the sprinklers prior to fifty years in service consistent with the 2011 Edition of NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, Section 5.3.1. Performance of the initial 50-year tests will be determined based on the date of the sprinkler system installation.

The Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP, as described in SLRA Appendix A and Appendix B, is revised to make three changes. First, Enhancement 4 and Enhancement 7 to the Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP are revised to remove reference to uncoated stainless steel buried piping. All buried stainless steel buried piping within the scope of subsequent license renewal at Oconee is externally coated. Second, the program description in Appendix A is revised to clarify that the acceptance criteria for cathodic protection system effectiveness is based on the instant-off potential relative to a copper/copper sulfate reference electrode. Third, Exception 2 in Appendix B is revised to clarify that the alternative limiting critical potential applies only to the test well on the north side of the standby shutdown facility diesel engine fuel oil tank.
SLRA Appendix A2.26 (pages A-27 and A-28) is revised as follows:
A2.26 Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks Program Description The Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP is an existing condition monitoring program that manages the aging effects associated with the external surfaces of buried and underground piping and tanks including loss of material and cracking of components in soil or underground environments within the scope of SLR. The program addresses piping and tanks of any material, including carbon steel, ductile iron, gray cast iron, stainless steel and copper alloys. There are no buried or underground cementitious or polymeric piping or tanks within the scope of SLR at Oconee. Condition monitoring of the buried and underground piping and tanks relies on inspections conducted by qualified individuals.
The program also manages aging through preventive and mitigative actions (i.e., coatings, backfill quality, and cathodic protection). The number of inspections is based on the effectiveness of the preventive and mitigative actions. Annual cathodic protection surveys are conducted. The acceptance criteria for cathodic protection system effectiveness is -850 mV instant-off potential relative to copper/copper sulfate reference electrode.
Enhancements The Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP will be enhanced to:
- 1. Install a cathodic protection system in accordance with NACE SP0169-2007 for buried carbon steel piping within the scope of this program.
- 2. Complete a modification to abandon the buried copper alloy instrument air system piping within the scope of this program.
- 3. Annual cathodic protection system monitoring will be performed with a maximum grace period of two months. The system will be monitored at least once during each calendar year.
- 4. Utilize an inspection method that has been demonstrated to be capable of detecting cracking for uncoated stainless steel piping and when visual inspections of coated stainless steel piping detect coating degradation or damage which could potentially result in stress corrosion cracking of the base material. Indications of cracking will be evaluated in accordance with applicable codes and plant-specific design criteria.
- 5. Perform wall thickness measurement if visual inspections identify evidence of corrosion beyond minor surface rusting for both coated and uncoated metallic piping or tanks. The results of the wall thickness measurement will be used to calculate a corrosion rate and project wall thickness through the end of the SPEO. If the depth or extent of degradation of the base metal could have resulted in a loss of pressure boundary function when the loss of material is extrapolated to the end of the SPEO, then additional inspections will be performed as follows: When measured pipe wall thickness, projected to the end of the SPEO, does not meet the minimum pipe wall thickness requirements due to external corrosion, the number of inspections within the affected piping category will be doubled or increased by five, whichever is smaller. If adverse indications are found in the expanded sample, an extent of condition and extent of cause analysis to determine the further extent of inspections. Timing of any additional inspections will be based on the severity of the identified degradation and the consequences of leakage or loss of function. Any additional inspections will be performed within the same 10-year inspection interval in which the original degradation was identified, or within four years after the end of the 10-year interval if the
degradation was identified in the latter half of the 10-year interval. Expansion of sample size may be limited by the extent of piping subject to the observed degradation mechanism or if the piping system or portion of the system is replaced or otherwise mitigated within the same 10-year inspection interval in which the original degradation was identified or within four years after the end of the 10-year interval, if the degradation was identified in the latter half of the 10-year interval.
- 6. Perform inspections of buried steel condenser circulating water system piping at least once every ten years. The minimum number of inspections will be determined based on the effectiveness of preventive actions in accordance with NUREG-2191, Table XI.M41-Ten linear feet of piping will be exposed for each inspection. Inspections of the large diameter condenser circulating water system intake piping will expose a quadrant (i.e., 9 to 12 oclock or 12 to 3 oclock) of the piping. External inspections of the large diameter condenser circulating water system intake piping will be supplemented by low frequency electromagnetic testing performed from the internal surface of the same section of piping that is externally inspected with follow-up ultrasonic wall thickness measurements performed of areas identified as low points during low frequency electromagnetic testing.
- 7. Perform visual inspections of at least two ten-linear foot sections of buried uncoated stainless steel piping at least once every ten years. Piping inspection locations will be selected based on risk (i.e., susceptibility to degradation and consequences of failure).
- 8. Perform visual inspections of at least four ten linear foot sections of underground coated steel piping at least once every ten years. Piping inspection locations will be selected based on risk (i.e., susceptibility to degradation and consequences of failure).
- 9. Internal volumetric inspections of the standby shutdown facility diesel engine fuel oil tank will cover at least 25% of the surface area of the tank and include at least some of both the top and bottom of the tank.
- 10. Personnel performing inspections of buried coated piping and tanks will either: 1) possess an Association for Materials Protection and Performance coating inspector program level 2 or level 3 inspector qualification, 2) complete the EPRI Comprehensive Coatings Course and complete the EPRI Buried Pipe Condition Assessment and Repair Training Computed Based Training Course, or 3) be qualified as a coatings specialist in accordance with ASTM D7108.
- 11. If significant coating damage is identified during visual inspections, then perform an evaluation to determine if the coating damage was caused by nonconforming backfill. If it is determined that the coating damage was caused by nonconforming backfill, then conduct an extent of condition evaluation to determine the extent of degraded backfill in the vicinity of the observed damage.

SLRA Appendix B2.1.26 (page B-181) is revised as follows:
Exception 2 to NUREG-2191 Program Element Affected: Detection of Aging Effects (Element 4)
- 2. NUREG-2191 recommends the limiting critical potential for cathodic protection systems should not be more negative than -1200 mV. The Oconee Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP will maintain the instant-off potential of all test locations between -850 mV and -2000 mV for the test well on the north side of the standby shutdown facility diesel engine fuel oil tank.
Justification for Exception 2 The cathodic protection system for the standby shutdown facility diesel engine fuel oil tank was installed in 2010 to replace the original passive sacrificial anode system. Due to the location of the tank and space limitations in the area, anodes could not be installed on the south side of the tank that is adjacent to the standby shutdown facility building wall. Also, the design depth for the anodes on the north side of the tank could not be obtained due to a shallow bedrock layer in the area. In order to achieve adequate polarization at test locations for the south side of the tank, an instant-off potential more negative than - 1200 mV was required for test locations for the north side of the tank.

Additional Information on Startup Transformer Drop Line Replacement Frequency (TRP-53.1, 53.2, 54, 58 and 63)
Affected SLRA Section:
SLRA Section 3.6.2.2.3 SLRA Page Numbers:
3-1468 Description of Changes:
This Supplement provides additional supporting information on the conservative selection of the 10-year replacement frequency for the drop lines on startup transformers CT1, CT2, and CT3.
SLRA Section 3.6.2.2.3 (page 3-1468) is revised as follows:
Wind-Induced Abrasion and Fatigue - Transmission Conductors ONS operating experience includes the partial and complete severance failure of aluminum conductor steel reinforced transformer drop line conductors/terminations to startup transformers CT2 and CT3, respectively.
A 2002 CT2 partial drop line severance failure occurred after approximately 30 years of operation and a 2015 CT3 complete drop line severance failure occurred after approximately 40 years of operation. The ONS startup transformer drop lines consist of 4/0 aluminum conductor steel reinforced cable with a 0.556 inch diameter, which is substantially smaller than the cable size typical of today's standards for 230 kV operation.
While this smaller cable is capable of carrying the required ampacity of the startup transformer, the causal evaluation for this the CT3 failure determined wind-induced (aeolian) vibrations of these smaller conductors can produce damage that will negatively impact the reliability of these lines. The causal evaluation further determined that vulnerability to this aging mechanism at ONS is limited to the overhead transmission conductors and drop lines to startup transformers CT1, CT2, and CT3. The corrective action arising from this failure resulted in a preventive maintenance activity to replace the aluminum conductor steel reinforced transmission conductors and drop lines to all three startup transformers on a 10 year frequency.
During replacement intervals, inspections for drop line degradation are performed on a daily, monthly, and biennial basis. Equipment has been installed on CT1, CT2, and CT3 to actively monitor for drop line open phase conditions. The 10-year replacement frequency combined with daily, monthly, and biennial inspections for degraded drop line conductors provides conservative margin to preclude future conductor failures. If future inspections detect unexpected degradation between drop line replacements, this internal OE will be used to adjust the replacement frequency or make other changes as necessary. Given that these conductors are now replaced on a specified frequency, they are considered short-lived, such that no further aging management is required.
ATTACHMENT 14 OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SLRA UPDATES REVISED EXCEPTION AND ENHANCEMENT DISCUSSION FOR FIRE WATER SYSTEM AGING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Revised Exception and Enhancement discussion for Fire Water System Aging Management Program (TRP-27)

SLRA Appendix A2.16 SLRA Appendix A6.0-1 SLRA Appendix B2.1.16 SLRA Page Numbers:
A-18 A-83 A-84 B-124 B-127 Description of Change:
The Fire Water System AMP, as described in SLRA Appendix A and Appendix B, is revised to make two changes. First, the AMP is revised to delete Exception 1 and update Enhancement 6 to require periodic hose station flow testing to be performed at the hydraulically most remote hose station in each building. Second, Enhancement 9 is revised to rely only on comparison to a baseline value that will be established during initial testing for the main drain test acceptance criteria rather than also allowing main drain test results to be compared to previous test results to determine acceptability.
SLRA Appendix A2.16 (page A-18) is revised as follows:
Enhancements The Fire Water System AMP will be enhanced to:
- 6. Perform flow testing of at least one hose station in each building every five years to demonstrate the capability to provide the design pressure at required flow. Flow testing will be performed at the hydraulically most remote hose station or, if an alternative hose station is tested, the acceptance criteria for the test will account for the additional head loss that would occur if the hydraulically most remote hose station were tested such that the results of the flow test are representative of the limiting location. If acceptance criteria are not met, at least two additional tests shall be performed within five years. If subsequent tests do not meet acceptance criteria, an extent of condition and extent of cause analysis is conducted to determine the further extent of tests. The additional tests include at least one test at one of the other units with the same material, environment, and aging effect combination.
- 7. Perform external visual inspections of the elevated water storage tank consistent with Section 9.2.5.5 of NFPA 25, 2011 Edition at least once every two years.
- 8. Perform flushing of the mainline strainers following system actuation consistent with Section 10.2.7 of NFPA 25, 2011 Edition.
- 9. Perform main drain testing of the deluge system risers at least once every two years. Main drain testing of deluge systems will be performed consistent with the procedure described in Sections 13.2.5 and A.13.2.5 of NFPA 25, 2011 Edition. When there is a ten percent reduction in full flow pressure when compared to an established baseline value the original acceptance test or previously performed tests, the cause of the reduction shall be identified and corrected if necessary. If acceptance criteria are not met, at least two additional tests shall be performed within two years.

SLRA Appendix B2.1.16 (page B-124) is revised as follows:
Exception 1 to NUREG-2191 Program Element Affected: Detection of Aging Effects (Element 4)
- 1. Not used.
NUREG 2191, Table XI.M27-1 recommends flow testing of the hydraulically most remote hose connection of each zone of the automatic standpipe system to verify the water supply can provide the design pressure at the required flow. The Oconee Fire Water System AMP will allow flow testing at hose connections other than the hydraulically most remote location.
Justification for Exception 1 As described in Section A.6.3.1.1 of NFPA 25, 2011 Edition, the hydraulically most remote hose stations are generally located at upper elevations. However, internal sediment and fouling is generally more prevalent at system low points. The program will allow for flow testing of hose stations at or near system low points where flow blockage due to fouling is most likely to occur.
Testing of lower elevation hose stations also allows for additional flushing of the system piping most susceptible to accumulation of silt and debris such that the impact of fouling on system performance is mitigated. Further, Oconee fire suppression system design does not include a typical standpipe system where multiple hose stations on each floor are supplied through a single standpipe equipped with a control valve and alarm check valve. Instead, hose stations are supplied locally from the building header. The three-year flow test of the fire suppression system headers ensures that adequate water supply is available locally to hose stations throughout the station. If the hose station selected for testing is other than the hydraulically most remote, the acceptance criteria for the flow test will be set to account for the additional head loss that would be experienced if the hydraulically most remote hose station were tested such that the results of the flow test are representative of the limiting location.
SLRA Appendix B2.1.16 (page B-127) is revised as follows:

If acceptance criteria are not met, at least two additional tests shall be performed within five years.

- 3. Increase in porosity and permeability and loss of strength due to leaching of calcium hydroxide and carbonation could occur in inaccessible areas of concrete elements of Group 6 structures. Further evaluation is recommended to determine the need for a plant- specific AMP or plant-specific enhancements to Structures Monitoring AMP, to manage these aging effects if leaching is observed in accessible areas that impact intended functions. Acceptance criteria are described in BTP RLSB-1 (Appendix A.1 of this SRPSLR).
Evaluation
[3.5.1-051] - Reinforced concrete structures at ONS were designed, constructed, and inspected in accordance with ACI and ASTM standards, which provide for a good quality, dense, well- cured, and low permeability concrete. Procedural controls ensured quality throughout the batching, mixing, and placement processes. The Structures Monitoring (B2.1.33) program, which includes Group 6 structures, identifies and manages cracks in the concrete structures. Review of plant OE has not identified instances of aging effects related to increase in porosity and permeability due to leaching of calcium hydroxide and carbonation in accessible areas, however the structural integrity of the components was not impacted and the conditions will be monitored during future inspections. Therefore, a plant-specific AMP or plant-specific enhancements to the Structures Monitoring (B2.1.33) program for inaccessible areas to manage the aging effects of increase in porosity and permeability due to leaching of calcium hydroxide and carbonation are not required in Group 6 structures.

The evaluation in SLRA Section 3.1.2.2.6 and Table 3.1.1 for SRP Item 3.1.1-019 will be updated to the following: Not applicable. The ONS Units 1, 2, and 3 bottom-mounted instrument guide tubes are nickel alloy. These items are addressed in SRP Item 3.1.1-045. The associated NUREG-2191 aging items are not used.
SLRA Table 3.1.2-1, Reactor Vessel, Reactor Internals, and Reactor Coolant System - Reactor Vessel - Aging Management Evaluation (Page 3-97), will be updated to remove the ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping aging management program for cracking with a reactor coolant environment. This environment/aging effect combination will be managed by the ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC, and IWD and Water Chemistry aging management programs. SLRA Table 3.1.1, Item 3.1.1-039 will be updated to include a discussion for the ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping aging management program not being used for the Incore Monitoring System lines.
SLRA Section 3.1.2.2.6 (page 3-28) is revised as follows:
3.1.2.2.6 Cracking Due to Stress Corrosion Cracking Evaluation
[3.1.1-019] - Not applicable. ONS Units 1, 2, and 3 bottom-mounted instrument guide tubes are nickel alloy utilize B&W reactors. These items are addressed in SRP Item 3.1.1-045. The associated NUREG-2191 aging items are not used.
[3.1.1-020] - Cracking due to stress corrosion cracking could occur in Class 1 PWR cast austenitic stainless steel reactor coolant system piping and piping components exposed to reactor coolant. ONS applicable components are valve bodies and reactor coolant pump suction and discharge nozzles.
Mitigation and monitoring of cracking of valve bodies and reactor coolant pump suction and discharge nozzles are managed by the Water Chemistry (B2.1.2) program and the ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC, and IWD (B2.1.1) program, respectively. The Water Chemistry (B2.1.2) program provides controls to minimize the presence of contaminants that promote stress corrosion cracking. The ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC, and IWD (B2.1.1) program provides for periodic testing and inspections to detect cracking.
[3.1.1-139] - Cracking due to stress corrosion cracking could occur in stainless steel or nickel alloy reactor vessel flange leak detection lines of PWR light-water reactor facilities. A review of ONS OE identified that a subset of these lines was susceptible to inner diameter initiated cracking in a localized vertical region of NSSS vendor supplied piping where contaminants could concentrate. Based on the results of metallurgical investigation, plant modifications were implemented between 2004 and 2008 on all three units to cut and cap the affected lines above the area of concern. This design change alleviated the potential for cracking associated with this OE. No evidence of cracking or leakage has been identified in the remaining segments of capped piping or in the unaffected reactor vessel leakage detection lines. The One-Time Inspection (B2.1.20) program will be used to verify that cracking is not occurring in the remaining reactor vessel leakage detection piping (including capped piping segments) or in comparable locations in the reactor coolant system aligned to this standard review plan item.
