Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN : Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 NRC Docket No. 50-461
Subject:
Proposed Alternative to 10 CFR 50 .55a Examination Requirements for Reactor Pressure Vessel Weld Inspections In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55x, "Codes and standards," paragraph (a)(3)(i), AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen), requests NRC approval of the proposed alternative to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, Sub Article IWB-2500 to allow reduced requirements for nozzle-to-vessel weld and inner radius examinations . This alternative is requested for the second 10-year interval of the Inservice Inspection Program for the Clinton Power Station (CPS) .
The details of the 10 CFR 50.55a proposed alternative are enclosed as Attachment 1, and the components affected by this request are tabulated in Attachment 2. The NRC provided a Safety Evaluation approving the generic technical basis and acceptability criteria for application of ASME Code Case N-702, "Alternative Requirements for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Nozzle Inner Radius and Nozzle-to-Shell Welds,Section XI, Division 1," on December 19, 2007, which AmerGen has followed as detailed in the attached request. The responses to plant specific applicability that this Safety Evaluation requires are included in Attachment 3.
AmerGen requests approval of this request by December 3, 2009, to support planning for the twelfth refueling outage (C1 R12) scheduled for January 2010 . This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. Timothy A. Byam at (630) 657-2804.

Additionally, for ultrasonic examinations,Section XI, Appendix VIII, "Performance Demonstration for Ultrasonic Examination Systems," of the 1995 Edition, with the 1996 Addenda, is implemented as required and modified by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv) .
- 3. Applicable Code Requirement Class 1 nozzle-to-vessel weld and nozzle inner radii examination requirements are given in Subsection IWB, Table IWB-2500-1, "Examination Category B-D Full Penetration Welds of Nozzles in Vessels - Inspection Program B," Item Numbers 133.90 and 133.100, respectively . The method of examination is volumetric . All nozzles with full penetration welds to the vessel shell (or head) and integrally cast nozzles must be examined each interval. All of the nozzles identified in Attachment 2 are full penetration welds .
- 4. Reason for Request The Class 1 nozzle-to-vessel weld and nozzle inner radii examinations are scheduled for examination prior to the end of the current inspection interval at CPS. The proposed alternative provides an acceptable level of quality and safety and the reduction in scope will provide for a dose savings of about 25 Rem .
- 5. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50 .55a(a)(3)(i), relief is requested from performing the required examinations on 100% of the identified nozzles. Alternatively, in accordance with Code Case N-702 (Reference 2), CPS proposes to examine a minimum of 25% of the nozzle
ATTACHMENT 1 10 CFR 50.55a Request Regarding Alternative Provides Acceptable Level Of Quality And Safety (10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i))
Page 2 of 3 inner radii and nozzle-to-vessel welds, including at least one nozzle from each system and nominal pipe size . For each of the identified nozzles, both the inner radius and the nozzle-to-shell weld would be examined . As a minimum, the following nozzles would be selected for examination : one of the two 20" recirculation outlet nozzles (i.e., N1); three of the ten 10" recirculation inlet nozzles (i .e., N2); one of the four 24" main steam nozzles (i.e ., N3); one of the two 12" core spray nozzles (i.e., NS); one of the three 10" low pressure coolant injection nozzles (i.e., N6); one of the two 6" head spray nozzles (i.e., N7 and N8) ; one of the two 4" jet pump instrumentation nozzles (i.e., N9); and the vibration instrumentation nozzle (i .e., N16).
Code Case N-702 proposes that visual examination (i .e., VT-1) may be used in lieu of volumetric examination for the nozzle inner radii (i .e ., Item B3.100). Note, however, that CPS is not currently using ASME Code Case N-648-1 on enhanced magnification visual examination and has no plans of using this Code Case in the future . CPS will continue to perform volumetric examinations of all required nozzle inner radii .
Basis for Use:
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Technical Report 1003557, "BWRVIP-108 :
BWR Vessel and Internals Project, Technical Basis for the Reduction of Inspection Requirements for the Boiling Water Reactor Nozzle-to-Vessel Shell Welds and Nozzle Blend Radii," (Reference 1) provides the basis for Code Case N-702. The EPRI report found that failure probabilities due to a low temperature overpressure event at the nozzle blend radius region and nozzle-to-vessel shell weld are very low (i.e ., < 1 x 10 -6 for 40 years) with or without any inservice inspection .
On December 19, 2007, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation (SE) approving the use of BWRVIP-108 as a basis for using Code Case N-702 (Reference 3). In Reference 3, Section 5 .0, "Plant Specific Applicability," it states that licensees who plan to request relief from the ASME Code Section XI requirements for RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radius sections may reference the BWRVIP-108 report as the technical basis for the use of ASME Code Case N-702 as an alternative. However, each licensee should demonstrate the plant-specific applicability of the BWRVIP-108 report to their units in the relief request by showing that the general and nozzle-specific criteria addressed below are satisfied:
(1) The maximum Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) heatup/cooldown rate is limited to less than 115 °F/hour ;
(2) For the Recirculation Inlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met:
a . (pr/t)/CRPV <1 .15
- b. [p(roe +rig )/(ro2 -ri2 )]/CNOZZLE<1 .15
ATTACHMENT 1 10 CFR 50 .55a Request Regarding Alternative Provides Acceptable Level Of Quality And Safety (10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i))
Page 3 of 3 (3) For the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met:
- a. (pr/t)/CRPV <1 .15
- b. [p(roz+rig)/(roz-rig)]/CNOULE<1 .15 Demonstration of how CPS meets the NRC plant-specific applicability is provided in to this letter. Based upon all RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radii sections meeting the NRC plant-specific criteria, Code Case N-702 is applicable to CPS.
Therefore, use of Code Case N-702 provides an acceptable level of quality and safety pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) for all RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radii sections .
- 6. Duration of Proposed Alternative The proposed alternative is requested to be utilized for the remainder of the CPS second 10-year inspection interval .
