EnclosureReport Details4.OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)4OA2Other - License Renewal a.Inspection ScopeThis inspection was conducted by NRC Region I and headquarters based inspectors inorder to evaluate the thoroughness and accuracy of the screening and scoping of non- | |||
safety related systems, structures, and components, as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2)and to evaluate whether aging management programs will be capable of managing theidentified aging effect in a appropriate manner.The inspection team selected a number of systems for review, using the NRC acceptedguidance, in order to determine if the methodology applied by the applicant appropriately | |||
captured the non-safety systems affecting the safety functions of a system, component,or structure within the scope of license renewal.The inspection team selected a sample of aging management programs to verify theadequacy of the applicant's documentation and implementation activities. The selected | |||
aging management programs were reviewed to determine whether the proposed aging | |||
management implementing process would adequately manage the effects of aging on | |||
the system.The inspectors reviewed supporting documentation and interviewed applicant personnelto confirm the accuracy of the license renewal application conclusions. For a sample of | |||
plant systems and structures, inspectors performed visual examinations of accessibleportions of the systems to observe aging effects. a.1. Scoping of Non Safety-Related Systems, Structures, and ComponentsTo assess the thoroughness and accuracy of the methods | |||
used to bring systems,structures, and components within scope of the application and to screen non-safety | |||
related systems, structures, and components, as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), theinspectors reviewed the applicant's program guidance procedures and summaries of | |||
results for Oyster Creek. The inspectors determined the applicant's procedures to be | |||
consistent with the NRC accepted guidance in Sections 3, 4, and 5 of Appendix F toNEI 95-10, Revision 5 (3: non-safety related systems, structures, and componentswithin scope of the current licensing basis, 4: non-safety related systems, structures,and components directly connected to safety-related systems, structures, andcomponents, and 5: non-safety related systems, structures, and components not directlyconnected to safety-related systems, structures, and components). Also, the inspectorsdetermined that the applicant appropriately utilized the guidance in their process fordetermining which systems were within scope. | |||
2EnclosureThe applicant based the scoping and screening results on a technical review andwalkdown of all applicable plant areas by qualified plant personnel. The inspectors | |||
reviewed the set of license renewal drawings, which were color-coded based on the | |||
results. The inspectors interviewed personnel and independently inspected numerous | |||
areas within the plant to confirm that appropriate systems, structures, and componentshad been included within the license renewal scope, that systems, structures, andcomponents excluded from the license renewal scope had an acceptable basis, and that | |||
the boundary for determining scope within the systems, including anchors, wasappropriate. For systems, structures, and components selected from the results, theinspectors confirmed that the in-plant configuration was accurate and acceptably | |||
categorized, and for systems, structures, and components selected within the plant, theinspectors confirmed that the categorization result in program documents was | |||
appropriate. The in-plant areas and systems reviewed included the following:*Reactor Building;*Turbine Building; | |||
*Intake Structure; | |||
*Ventilation Stack; | |||
*Diesel Generator Building; | |||
*Diesel Fuel Oil Building; | |||
*Fire Protection System; | |||
*Isolation Condenser System; | |||
*Hardened Vent System; | |||
*Nitrogen Supply System; | |||
*Instrument Air System; and | |||
*Service Water System.The inspectors determined the personnel involved in the process were knowledgeableand appropriately trained, and that the applicant had implemented an acceptablemethod of scoping and screening of non-safety related systems, structures, andcomponents. a.2. ProgramsOne-Time Inspection ProgramThe One-Time Inspection Program is a new aging management program intended toverify the effectiveness of other aging management programs, including Water | |||
Chemistry, Closed Cycle Cooling Water Systems, and Fuel Oil Chemistry Programs, by | |||
reviewing various aging effects for impact. Where corrosion resistant materials and/or | |||
non-corrosive environments exist, the One-Time Inspection Program is intended to | |||
verify that an aging management program is not needed during extended operations byconfirming that aging effects are not occurring or are occurring in a manner that does | |||
not affect the safety function of systems, structures, and components within the scopeof the application. Non-destructive evaluation will be performed by qualified personnelusing procedures and processes consistent with the American Society of Mechanical | |||
Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The | |||
3EnclosureOne-Time Inspection Program will be implemented prior to the period of ext | |||
endedoperation. The inspectors reviewed the program description, implementation plan, and inspectionsample basis, and discussed the planned activities with the responsible staff.For the One-Time Inspection Program, the inspectors concluded the applicantperformed adequate evaluations and reviews of industry experience and plant history to | |||
determine an acceptable approach to identifying, assessing and managing any aging | |||
effects detected. The applicant developed adequate guidance for implementation ofthe One-Time Inspection Program. Bolting IntegrityThe Bolting Integrity Program is an existing program credited with managing the loss ofmaterial, cracking, and loss of prestress aging effects in safety-related bolting at Oyster | |||
Creek. The aging effects are managed by visual inspection for leakage during systempressure tests, normal plant operation, and periodic system maintenance, and repairedin accordance with maintenance procedures and the ASME Code.The inspectors reviewed the program basis document, implementing procedures,documented reviews, and a bolting-related apparent cause evaluation, and interviewed | |||
the responsible plant personnel regarding these documents. In addition, the inspectors | |||
walked down portions of the Standby Liquid Control, Isolation Condenser, Control Rod | |||
Drive, and Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water Systems to confirm that the program | |||
had maintained acceptable bolting conditions. For the Bolting Integrity Program, the inspectors concluded that the applicant hadperformed adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to | |||
determine the aging effects are managed by the Bolting Integrity Program. The | |||
applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure the aging effects are appropriately | |||
managed. Buried Piping InspectionThe Buried Piping Inspection Program is an existing program credited with managingthe loss of material aging effects on the external surfaces of piping in a soil | |||
environment, including the service water, emergency service water, and condensate | |||
transfer systems. The aging effects are managed by preventive measures, i.e.,coatings, wrapping, and condition monitoring measures, including visual inspections and | |||
periodic system pressure testing. As described in Appendix B, Part 1.26 of theapplication, the applicant plans to enhance the program by augmenting the visualinspections prior to extended operations and performing periodic visual inspections, and | |||
to include additional piping, such as the fire protection system. | |||
4EnclosureThe inspectors reviewed the program basis document, system drawings, implementingprocedures, and documented reviews, and interviewed the responsible plant personnel | |||
regarding these documents. Also, the inspectors walked down the service water and | |||
emergency service water systems in the vicinity of buried piping.For the Buried Piping Inspection Program, the inspectors concluded that the applicanthad performed adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical | |||
reviews to determine the aging effects managed by the Buried Piping Inspection | |||
Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure the aging effects are | |||
appropriately managed. Flow-Accelerated Corrosion ProgramThe Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program is an existing program credited with managingthe corrosion aging effects in all carbon steel piping and components containing high- | |||
energy fluids at Oyster Creek Generating Station. The aging effects are managed byusing ultrasonic and radiographic testing to detect wall thinning and by predicting wear | |||
rates to support the proactive replacement of system piping. In addition, the programprovides for the performance of follow-up inspections to confirm predictions and to | |||
determine the need for repairs or replacements as necessary.The inspectors reviewed the piping ultrasonic testing wall thickness results fromprevious inspections and reviewed the CHECWORKS computer analysis of the future | |||
wall thickness forecasts. The inspector also reviewed recent changes to the | |||
CHECWORKS model to ensure previously identified deficiencies have been corrected. | |||
The inspectors noted that recent replacements, initiated as a result of this program, | |||
were implemented preventively due to identified flow-accelerated corrosion. The | |||
replacement piping material was more resistant to corrosion than the original piping | |||
material.For the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program, the inspectors concluded the applicantconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews | |||
and, as a consequence, the effects of aging will be reasonably managed by theproposed program. Water Chemistry ProgramThe Water Chemistry Program is an existing program credited with managing theeffects of aging on piping, piping components, piping elements, and systems, such asthe condensate and feedwater, and condensate storage tank in Oyster CreekGenerating Station. The aging effects are managed by monitoring and control ofreactor water chemistry to minimize contaminant concentration and mitigate loss of | |||
material due to general, crevice and pitting corrosion and cracking caused by stress | |||
corrosion cracking. | |||
5EnclosureWater chemistry control is administered in accordance with the Boiling Water ReactorVessel and Internals Project guideline BWRVIP-29 and Electric Power Research | |||
Institute guideline EPRI TR-103515. The inspectors reviewed the chemistry procedures | |||
and sampling results to confirm that the guidance contained in BWRVIP-29 and EPRI | |||
TR-103515 was being implemented.For the Water Chemistry Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to | |||
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant | |||
provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Closed-Cycle Cooling Water Systems ProgramThe Closed-Cycle Cooling Water Systems Program is an existing program credited withmanaging loss of material, cracking, and buildup-of-deposit aging effects in components | |||
exposed to closed-cycle cooling water environments at the Oyster Creek GeneratingStation. Systems within the scope of the closed-cycle cooling water program include theturbine building closed cooling, reactor building closed cooling, and emergency diesel | |||
generator closed cooling water systems. The aging effects are managed by monitoringand control of cooling water chemistry, performing surveillance tests, and throughperiodic inspection of system components in a manner consistent with EPRI TR-107396guidelines.The inspectors observed cleaning of the turbine closed-cooling water heat exchangerand performed a walkdown of | |||
the system with plant personnel. In addition, theinspectors reviewed closed-cycle cooling water chemistry procedures and reviewed pastchemistry sample results to confirm that the requirements of EPRI TR-107396 are being | |||
met.For the Closed-Cycle Cooling Water Systems Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and | |||
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management | |||
program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are | |||
appropriately managed. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J ProgramThe 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Program is an existing program credited withmanaging the aging degradation of pressure retaining boundaries of piping and | |||
components of the various systems penetrating the containment at the Oyster CreekGenerating Station. In addition, the program also detects age related degradation inmaterial properties of gaskets, o-rings, and packing materials for the primary | |||
containment pressure boundary access points. The aging effects are managed by | |||
performing containment leak rate tests to assure that leakage through primary | |||
containment and systems and components penetrating primary containment does notexceed allowable leakage limits specified in the Technical Specifications. | |||
6EnclosureThe inspectors reviewed Oyster Creek's procedures for leak rate testing. In addition,the inspectors reviewed corrective actions for components that did not meet leak rate | |||
test acceptance criteria. The inspectors noted that corrective actions taken to repair | |||
these components were acceptable.For the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Program, the inspectors concluded the applicanthad conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical | |||
reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The | |||
applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately | |||
managed. Fuel Oil Chemistry ProgramThe Fuel Oil Chemistry Program is an existing program that will be modified for thepurpose of managing the affects of pitting and corrosion in the diesel fuel oil tank at the | |||
Oyster Creek Generating Station. The aging effects are managed by the addition ofbiocides and corrosion inhibitors to minimize biological activity and mitigate corrosion, | |||
periodic cleaning, and applying coating to the internal surfaces of the tank.The inspectors reviewed the schedule for implementation of the enhancements. Theinspectors reviewed recent sample results and tank thickness measurements to verify | |||
that results were within the acceptable range.For the Fuel Oil Chemistry Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to | |||
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant | |||
provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Boiling Water Reactor Feedwater Nozzle ProgramThe Boiling Water Reactor Feedwater Nozzle Program is an existing program that | |||
willbe modified to implement the recommendations of the Boiling Water Owners GroupLicensing Topical Report: General Electric NE-523-A71-0594. These enhancements | |||
willbe implemented prior to entering the period of extended operation per Oyster CreekAssignment Report AR# 00330592, A.1.05 Commitment (BWR Feedwater Nozzle). The | |||
program is credited with managing the aging effects of cracking in the feedwater | |||
nozzles. The program is administered by the station in-service inspection plan ER-OC- | |||
330-1001, "ISI Program Plan Fourth Ten-Year Inspection Interval," and implemented by | |||
station procedure ER-AA-330-002, "In-service Inspection of Section XI Welds and | |||
Components". The station in-service inspection program incorporates the requirements | |||
of the ASME Code. The aging effects are managed by periodic ultrasonic testing | |||
inspections of critical regions of the feedwater nozzles. The ultrasonic test inspections | |||
are performed at intervals not exceeding ten years and was embraced in an NRC safetyevaluation. | |||
7EnclosureInspections performed in 1977 identified cracks in the Oyster Creek nozzles. Thesecracks were repaired. The inspectors reviewed plant modification #166-76-4,"Feedwater Nozzle Cladding Removal and Sparger Replacement" and reviewed | |||
selected ultrasonic testing examination reports of the feedwater nozzles. To minimize | |||
thermal cycling and fatigue induced cracking, the thermal sleeves were modified to a | |||
piston design. Subsequent inspections found no indications in the feedwater nozzles. | |||
The inspectors reviewed Focused Area Self-Assessment Report Oyster Creek Inservice | |||
Inspection Program, completed in June 2004. The inspectors determined the feedwater | |||
nozzle program at Oyster Creek effectively monitored the feedwater nozzles for | |||
cracking.For the Boiling Water Reactor Feedwater Nozzle Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and | |||
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management | |||
program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are | |||
appropriately managed. Boiling Water Reactor Stress Corrosion Cracking ProgramThe Boiling Water Reactor Stress Corrosion Cracking Program is an existing agingmanagement program credited with managing crack initiation and growth due to | |||
intergranular stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel and nickel alloy reactor coolant | |||
pressure boundary piping, welds, components and piping four inches and larger nominal | |||
pipe size exposed to reactor coolant above 200F. The aging effects are managed bypreventive measures which include monitoring and controlling water impurities byimproved water chemistry control activities and by providing replacement stainless steel | |||
components in a solution annealed condition with a maximum carbon content of 0.035% | |||
wt. and a minimum ferrite level of 7.5%. Inspection and flaw evaluations are conducted | |||
in accordance with Oyster Creek in-service inspection program plan ER-OC-330-1001, | |||
"ISI Program Plan Fourth Ten-Year Inspection Interval" and Oyster Creek's augmented | |||
inspection program for IGSCC ER-OC-330-1002, "IGSCC Inspection Plan Fourth Ten- | |||
Year Inspection Interval," which incorporates the technical basis and guidance described | |||
in NUREG-0313, NRC Generic Letter 88-01, and staff-reviewed Boiling Water ReactorVessel Internal Inspection Program BWRVIP-75. The inspectors noted that where pre-emptive piping replacement was accomplished thereplacement piping material used was more resistant to intergranular stress corrosion | |||
cracking than the original piping material. The applicant replaced the followi | |||
ng syst empiping material with intergranular stress corrosion cracking resistant material: 1) all isolation condenser large bore piping outside the drywell from the drywellpenetrations to the isolation condensers during refueling outage 1R13 in 1991; 2) all piping within the four isolation condenser drywell penetrations and the tworeactor water cleanup system drywell penetrations which contained welds thatwere not inspectible;3) the head cooling spray nozzle assembly, the 4 inch tee and flange of thereactor vent line. | |||
8EnclosureTo further mitigate the initiation and propagation of intergranular stress corrosioncracking the applicant implemented hydrogen water chemistry during cycle 12 in 1990and noble metals chemical additions during 1R19 refueling outage in 2002. | |||
Additionally, all accessible welds susceptible to intergranular stress corrosion cracking | |||
in reactor coolant boundary piping systems inside the drywell (except the reactor watercleanup system) were stress improved. The Boiling Water Reactor stress corrosion cracking aging management program usesultrasonic testing to detect intergranular stress corrosion cracking flaws in the reactor | |||
coolant boundary piping prior to loss of intended functions of the components. Of the | |||
380 welds included in the scope of Generic Letter 88-01, Oyster Creek identified, during | |||
the period the program was implemented, there were 11 welds with indications of | |||
intergranular stress corrosion cracking. Nine welds have been repaired with full | |||
structural overlays (four in the core spray system, four in the reactor recirculationsystem, and one in the shutdown cooling system). Two reactor recirculation systemwelds, which were both stress improved before initial inspections had indications of | |||
intergranular stress corrosion cracking, remained in service without repair. Both of | |||
these welds in the reactor recirculation system have been re-examined in 2002 and2004 using the Improved Performance Demonstration Initiative ultrasonic test | |||
examination technique and the welds did not exhibit any indication of intergranular | |||
stress corrosion cracking. No new indications of intergranular stress corrosion cracking | |||
have been detected by inspections during the past six refueling outages. As a result of | |||
the implemented preventive measures to mitigate intergranular stress corrosion cracking | |||
Oyster Creek has no indications of intergranular stress corrosion cracking at this time. | |||
Therefore the inspectors determined that the Boiling Water Reactor Stress CorrosionProgram at Oyster Creek has been effective in monitoring and mitigating intergranular | |||
stress corrosion cracking in the reactor coolant boundary piping systems. For the Boiling Water Reactor Stress Corrosion Cracking Program, the inspectorsconcluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry | |||
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging | |||
management program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging | |||
effects are appropriately managed. Periodic Inspection ProgramThe Periodic Inspection Program is a new program under development at Oyster Creekthat consists of periodic inspections of selected systems in the scope of license renewalthat require periodic monitoring of aging effects, and are not covered by other existing | |||
periodic monitoring programs to verify the integrity of the systems and confirm theabsence of identified aging effects. The Periodic Inspection Program manages the | |||
aging effect of change in material properties, loss of material and reduction of heat | |||
transfer for systems, components, and environments. The aging effects are managedby periodic condition monitoring examinations performed at susceptible locations in the | |||
systems, int | |||
ended to assure that existing environmental conditions are not causingmaterial degradation that could result in a loss of system intended functions. The initialperiodic inspections of this new aging management program will be implemented | |||
near | |||
9Enclosurethe end of the current operating term but prior to the period of extended operation. Subsequent periodic inspections will be performed on a frequency not to exceed onceevery ten years.The Periodic Inspection Program provides inspection criteria, requires evaluation of theinspection results, and provides recommendations for additional inspections, as | |||
necessary. Inspections will be performed in accordance with station procedures that arebased on applicable codes and standards. Inspection methods may include visual | |||
examinations VT-1 or VT-3 of disassembled components or volumetric non-destructive | |||
examination techniques. Some of the implementing procedures for the Periodic | |||
Inspection Program were reviewed by the inspectors, including existing nondestructive | |||
examination procedures ER-OC-330-1001, ISI Program Plan "Fourth Ten-Year | |||
Inspection Interval," ER-AA-35-014, "VT-1 Visual Examinations," ER-AA-335-016, "VT-3 | |||
Visual Examination of Component Supports and Attachments," and ER-AA-335-032, | |||
"Ultrasonic Through Wall Sizing in Pipe Welds". A periodic inspection table, which was | |||
in draft at the time of this inspection, is a listing of sele | |||
cted systems and components tobe periodically inspected to verify the integrity of the system and confirm t | |||
he absence ofidentified aging effects was also reviewed. Based on review of the implementing | |||
documents and procedures, the inspectors determined that the Periodic InspectionProgram, when implemented at Oyster Creek, will provide assurance that systems andcomponents are routinely inspected for age related degradation of change in material | |||
properties, loss of material and reduction of heat transfer for systems, components, andenvironments, and | |||
will adequately manage the identified aging effects.For the Periodic Inspection Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to | |||
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant | |||
provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Wooden Utility Pole ProgramThe Wooden Utility Pole Program is a new program credited with managing the agingeffects of loss of material and change in material properties in all wooden utility poleswhich support an intended function for the offsite power systems at the Oyster CreekGenerating Station. The aging effects are managed by inspection of wooden poles | |||
every ten years by a qualified inspector.The team reviewed program bases documents and industry guidance. The inspectorsalso conducted interviews and performed walkdowns with plant personnel. During the | |||
walkdown, one pole (JC 514A L) was noted to be degraded. The applicant was able to | |||
show that the condition had been previously analyzed and that plans are in place to | |||
adequately reinforce the pole.For the Wooden Utility Pole Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to | |||
determine aging effects managed by the Wooden Utility Pole Program. The applicantprovided adequate draft guidance to ensure aging effects will be appropriatelymanaged. | |||
10EnclosurePeriodic Testing of Containment Spray NozzlesThe Containment Spray Nozzle Program is an existing program credited withdemonstrating that the drywell and torus spray nozzles are not blocked by debris or | |||
corrosion products. Carbon steel piping upstream of the drywell and torus spray nozzles | |||
is subject to possible general corrosion that could result in plugging nozzles with rust. | |||
Periodic air tests verify that the drywell and torus spray nozzles are free from plugging | |||
and are therefore available to provide the steam quenching functions of the nozzles.The team conducted interviews and reviewed program bases documents and previoustest results. The team noted that the existing program has been effective at identifyingand correcting degraded conditions. For the Periodic Testing of Containment Spray Nozzles Program, the inspectorsconcluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry | |||
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the | |||
Containment Spray Nozzle Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to | |||
ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Inaccessible Medium-Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification RequirementsThe Inaccessible Medium-Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Program is a new program developed for the purpose of | |||
aging management credited with managing the moisture related aging effects in | |||
medium-voltage cable systems at the Oyster Creek Generating Station. The agingeffects are managed by cable testing and periodic inspection of manholes. The team reviewed program bases documents and industry guidance. The inspectorsalso conducted interviews and performed walkdowns with plant personnel. The | |||
manhole inspection frequency was initially established at the NUREG-1801,Revision 1,"Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report," recommended two-year | |||
frequency based on Oyster Creek's operating experience that does not indicate a trend | |||
or recurrence of cable submergence in manholes. However, NRC inspectors identified,approximately 2 inches of water in the manhole selected by the NRC team forinspection. Consequently, the applicant entered this issue into the corrective action | |||
system (CA #IR 469998, #IR 471363) and documented the need to re-evaluate theadequacy of the manhole inspection frequency. Due to several medium-voltage cable failures in Oyster Creek's operating experience, amedium-voltage cable testing program is currently in place. Because of the limited | |||
success of the previous DC step voltage testing method, Oyster Creek has begun | |||
implementing a new method of cable testing provided by DTE Energy for most of the | |||
medium-voltage cables. NUREG 1801 (XI.E3) specifies the test method should bestate-of-the-art at the time the test is performed. Although the new DTE Energy testingmethod is not yet recognized as an industry standard, it is a form of partial discharge | |||
testing (partial discharge testing is one of the recognized standards specifically listed in | |||
11Enclosurethe NUREG-1801), and the applicant expects formal acceptance of the new testingmethod as an industry standard prior to extended operation.The applicant has agreed to maintain the current testing frequency limit of six years inLRCR 289 for the first six years, after which the frequency may be re-evaluated and extended up to ten years. This change will provide sufficient time for successfuloperating experience prior to expanding to the NUREG 1801 recommended ten yearfrequency.For the Inaccessible Medium-Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49Environmental Qualification Requirements Program, the inspectors concluded the | |||
applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and | |||
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the Inaccessible Medium- | |||
Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements | |||
Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are | |||
appropriately managed. Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification RequirementsThe Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Program is a new program credited with managing the heat,radiation, and moisture aging effects in non-environmentally qualified electrical cables | |||
and connections in Oyster Creek Generating Station. Connections include splices, | |||
terminal blo | |||
cks, connectors, and fuse blocks. The aging effects are managed byperiodic inspections. The team reviewed program bases documents, a draft implementing procedure andindustry guidance. The inspectors also conducted interviews and performed walkdowns | |||
with plant personnel. Inspections will be done of all accessible cables and connectionsin adverse localized environments. This aging management program focuses on a | |||
representative sample of accessible cables and connections with sampling structured to | |||
include key areas of concern. Plant locations containing cables within scope that do not | |||
include adverse general or localized conditions may be excluded from inspections based | |||
on engineering evaluations. Because there were several examples of polyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding inOyster Creek's operating experience, the applicant agreed to specifically include | |||
polyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding as an aging effect to be addressed in this | |||
program. Although polyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding has not led to any | |||
equipment degradation at Oyster Creek, there have been instances cited in | |||
NRC'sInformation Notices 91-20 and 94-78 where polyvinyl chloride insulation bleeding under | |||
unfavorable configurations caused hardened plasticizer to degrade equipment. As a | |||
consequence of the NRC's review, the applicant entered this issue into their correctiveaction system (AR 00472707) in order to evaluate the current extent-of-condition ofpolyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding and determine if their original screening of | |||
this aging affect should be revised. | |||

components in the scope of license renewal that require periodic monitoring of aging | |||
15Enclosureeffects, and are not covered by other aging management programs. In the applicant'sresponse to the NRC's requests for additional information, RAI 2.5.1.19-1, datedOctober 12, 2005 and November 11, 2005, the applicant expanded the single agingmanagement for the Forked River Combustion Turbine to twelve aging management | |||
programs. This periodic inspection program is one of twelve programs that monitor the | |||
aging effects of the Forked River Combustion Turbine.The Periodic Inspection - Forked River Combustion Turbine aging management programmanages the aging effect of change in material properties, loss of material and reduction | |||
of heat transfer for systems, components, and environments. The aging effects aremanaged by periodic inspections that will be condition monitoring examinationsperformed at susceptible locations in the systems, intended to assure that existingenvironmental conditions are not causing material degradation that could result in a loss | |||
of system intended functions. These inspections will be performed on a periodicity not toexceed once every 10 years and will coincide with major combustion turbinemaintenance inspections.The two Forked River Combustion Turbines are owned, operated, and maintained byFirstEnergy, under contract to supply station blackout services to Oyster Creek | |||
Generating Station. The inspectors reviewed program bases documents, maintenancerule performance data, walkdown reports, and action logs. Applicable portions of the | |||
Interconnect and Station Blackout Agreements were reviewed. The inspectors also | |||
conducted interviews and performed walkdowns with Oyster Creek Generating Station | |||
and FirstEnergy personnel of the Forked River Combustion Turbine facility and portionsof its switchyard. The inspectors observed maintenance activities conducted by General | |||
Electric for FirstEnergy on Forked River Combustion Turbine #2 during a minor outage. Though the Forked River Combustion Turbines are operated and maintained byFirstEnergy, Oyster Creek Generating Station assigns a system engineer to monitor theirperformance via monthly data sets and logs received from the onsite FirstEnergy | |||
engineers. Significant events and maintenance on the Forked River Combustion Turbine | |||
are logged and evaluated by the Oyster Creek system engineer for further action.At the time of this inspection, the implementing procedures for this program were notdeveloped. Hence, the aging management program elements have not been negotiatedwith FirstEnergy to be added into the Station Blackout Agreement. The Office of Nuclear | |||
Reactor Regulation accepted AmerGen's response to 2.5.1.15-1 and 2.5.1.19-1 andrequests for additional information. Based on discussions with applicant personnel and | |||

the applicant will conduct monitoring of leakage from the drywell sand bed region drainsgoing forward, as an additional method to detect conditions favorable for corrosion to | |||
occur. Only the visual and ultrasonic examinations are given credit for managing the | |||
affects of aging. The inspectors reviewed all of the licensee's ultrasonic thickness testing inspectionresults for the condition of the drywell from 1983 through 2002, evaluations and | |||
calculations of corrosion rates and projections of wall thickness for several locations on | |||
the drywell. Also, the inspectors reviewed video records of the sand bed region | |||
condition and the removal of the sand from the sand bed region. The inspectors | |||
reviewed the structural analysis performed to confirm the structural integrity of the | |||
drywell after the amount of corrosion had been determined. The inspectors reviewed | |||
the most recently completed visual inspection results of the drywell sand bed exterior | |||
coating and the UT measurements from higher elevations of the drywell.For the ASME, Section XI, Subsection IWE Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and | |||
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the ASME, Section XI, | |||

coating defects observed. The inspectors reviewed the past inspection results in each area to understand whatconditions are being documented, the method of evaluation of recorded indications, the | |||
repair methods used to fix any damaged or degraded coating. The inspectors also | |||
looked at the licensee's cause determination for the underlying corrosion phenomena | |||
and actions being taken to monitor the condition. | |||
17EnclosureThe team concluded that as long as the coating integrity was maintained by thisprogram, the presence of water, as indicated by collection from the former sandbed | |||
area drains, would not affect the rate of corrosion of the drywell at the former sandbed | |||
area.For the Protective Coating Monitoring and Maintenance Program, the inspectorsconcluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry | |||
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the Protective | |||

program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are | |||
appropriately managed. Masonry Wall ProgramThe Masonry Wall Program is credited with managing the aging effects in masonrywalls at the Oyster Creek Generating Station as part of the Structural MonitoringProgram. The aging effects are managed by a program of inspection of masonry walls | |||
for cracking on a frequency of four years to assure that the established evaluation basis | |||
for each masonry wall remains valid during the period of extended operation.The inspectors reviewed the program description, program basis documents, thecurrently approved station procedures, the results of prior inspections, discussions with | |||
cognizant personnel, and a walkthrough visual examination of accessible masonry walls | |||
to assess the effectiveness of the current program. The scope of the program includes | |||
all masonry walls that perform intended functions in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4, and | |||
were covered by I. E. Bulletin 80-11. The inspections are implemented though station procedures. Maintenance history hasrevealed minor degradation of masonry block walls; but none that could impact their | |||
intended function. In response to I.E. Bulletin 80-11, "Masonry Wall Design," and | |||
Information Notice 87-67, "Lessons Learned from Regional Inspections of Licensee | |||
Actions in Response to I.E. Bulletin 80-11," various actions have been taken. Actions | |||
have included program enhancements, follow-up inspections to substantiate masonry | |||
wall analyses and classifications, and the development of procedures for tracking and | |||
recording changes to the walls. These actions have addressed all concerns raised by | |||
I.E. Bulletin 80-11 and Information Notice 87-67, namely unanalyzed conditions, | |||
improper assumptions, improper classification, and lack of procedural controls. A | |||
review of operating experience indicates that the program is effective for managing | |||
aging effects of masonry walls. | |||

are not monitored under the current term but require monitoring during the period of | |||
extended operation. Aging effects are managed by periodic visual inspections by | |||
qualified personnel to monitor structures and components for applicable aging effects. | |||
Specifically, concrete structures are inspected for loss of material, cracking, and a | |||
change in material properties. Steel components are inspected for loss of material due | |||
to corrosion. Masonry walls are inspected for cracking, and elastomers will bemonitored for a change in material properties. Earthen structures associated with | |||
water-control structures and the Fire Pond Dam will be inspected for loss of materialand loss of form. Component supports will be inspected for loss of material, reductionor loss of isolation function, and reduction in anchor capacity due to local concrete | |||
degradation. Exposed surfaces of bolting are monitored for loss of material, due to corrosion, loosenuts, missing bolts, or other indications of loss of preload. The scope of the program | |||
will be enhanced to include structures that are not monitored under the current term butrequire monitoring during the period of extended operation. The inspectors reviewed the program description, program basis documents, thecurrently approved station procedures, the results of prior inspections, discussions with | |||
cognizant personnel, and a walkthrough visual examination of accessible structural | |||
items, including reinforced concrete and structural steel members, components and | |||
systems to assess the effectiveness of the current program. The scope of the programalso includes all masonry walls that perform intended functions in accordance with | |||
10 CFR 54.4, and were covered by I. E. Bulletin 80-11. The inspections included a | |||
review of station procedures, maintenance history, inspection findings and followup of | |||
inspection findings, and current inspection schedules. Inspection frequency is every | |||
20Enclosurefour years; except for submerged portions of water-control structures, which will beinspected when the structures are dewatered, or on a frequency not to exceed ten | |||
years. The program contains provisions for more frequent inspections to ensure that | |||
observed conditions that have the potential for impacting an intended function areevaluated or corrected in accordance with the corrective action process. The | |||
Structures Monitoring Program is consistent with the ten elements of aging | |||
management program XI.S6, "Structures Monitoring Program," specified in NUREG-1801.For the Structures Monitoring Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to | |||
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant | |||

effects in Water Control Structure systems at the Oyster Creek Generating Station. The aging effects are managed by periodic inspections of the water control structures | |||
for structural and hydraulic degradation, and potential loss of function of intended | |||
service. The Water Control Structure Program is a subpart of the main Structures | |||
Monitoring Program. It is based on the guidance provided in RG 1.127 and ACI 349.3R | |||
and will provide for periodic inspection of the Intake Structure and Canal, the Fire PondDam, and the Dilution structure. The program will be used to manage loss of material,cracking, and change in material properties for concrete components, loss of material | |||
and change in material properties for wooden components, and loss of material, and | |||
loss of form of the dam, and the canal slopes. Inspection frequency is every four years; | |||
except for submerged portions of the structures, which will be inspected w | |||
hen thestructures are de-watered, or on a frequency not to exceed ten years. The program | |||
willbe enhanced to ensure that water-control structures aging effects are adequately | |||
managed during the period of extended operation.The inspectors reviewed the program description, program basis documents, thecurrently approved station procedures, the results of prior inspections, discussions with | |||
cognizant personnel, and a walkthrough visual examination of accessible water control | |||
structures, including com | |||
ponents and systems to assess the effectiveness of thecurrent program. As the Water Control Structures Monitoring Program is a subpart of | |||
the larger Structures Monitoring Program, this review was performed in conjunction with | |||
the comprehensive review of the main Structures Monitoring Program. Inspection of | |||
Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants program is consistent | |||
with the ten elements of aging management program.For the Inspection of Water Control Structures Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and | |||

21EnclosureMetal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure BoundaryThe Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Aging Management Programmonitors select components in the reactor coolant pressure boundary by tracking and | |||
evaluating contributing plant events. The Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure | |||
Boundary program monitors operating transients and, by way of a computer program, | |||
calculates up-to-date fatigue usage factors.The design basis metal fatigue analyses for the reactor coolant pressure boundary areconsidered time limited aging analysis for the purposes of license renewal. The Metal | |||
Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Program provides an analytical basis for | |||
confirming that the number of cycles, established by the analysis of record, will not beexceeded before the end of the period of extended operation. In order to determinecumulative usage factors more accurately, the program will implement FatigueProfatigue monitoring software. FatiguePro calculates cumulative fatigue using both | |||
cycle-based and stress-based monitoring. This provides an analytical basis forconfirming that the number of cycles established by the analysis of record will not beexceeded before the end of the period of extended operation.For the Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Aging ManagementProgram, the inspectors reviewed the program including the basis calculations, ongoing | |||
monitoring, corrective actions, limiting components, and current cumulative usage | |||
factors for the limiting components. The applicant provided adequate guidance to | |||
ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Isolation Condenser System ReviewThe Oyster Creek license renewal application listed a number of plant systems withinthe scope of license renewal. From this list the inspectors selected the isolation | |||
condenser system for a focused review to determine whether the applicant's agingmanagement programs were adequate to effectively manage aging effects related to | |||
this component. The following aging management programs are credited for managing | |||
aging effects of the isolation condenser system: ASME Section XI In-serviceInspection, Subsection IWB, IWC, and IWD; Bolting Integrity; BWR Stress Corrosion | |||
Cracking; One Time Inspection; Structures Monitoring Program; and, Water Chemistry. | |||
The inspectors focused on the loss of material aging effect to determine how it would | |||
be managed by the identified programs applied specifically to the Isolation Condenser | |||
System.Although the Oyster Creek 10 CFR 50, Appendix K, design basis event analysis, nolonger takes credit for the Isolation Condenser it is very important for post-accident heat | |||
removal and mitigation of event consequences. It ranks very high on the probabilisticrisk worth for this reason. Because of its risk importance the inspectors reviewed the | |||
aging management programs given credit for managing the affects of aging in the | |||
system. | |||
22EnclosureThe Isolation Condenser System contains safety-related components relied upon toremain functional during and following design basis events. For example the primary | |||
coolant boundary must be maintained through the condenser. Additionally the failure of | |||
nonsafety-related structures and components in the Isolation Condenser System could | |||
potentially prevent the satisfactory accomplishment of a safety-related function. The | |||
isolation condenser also performs functions that support fire protection and station | |||
blackout. AmerGen is committed, in their application documents, to maintaining the waterenvironment of the secondary side because the integrity of the heat exchanger tubescan be affected from both the inside and outside. Additionally, the heat exchangershell, and therefore, the secondary water environment, is part of the One-Time Aging | |||
Management program because it is required to maintain structural integrity during a | |||
design basis earthquake to support the heat exchanger tubing and the attached reactor | |||
coolant/steam line piping.The applicant proposed using the ASME Section XI In-service Inspection, SubsectionsIWB, IWC, and IWD aging management program with the water chemistry aging | |||
management program to manage loss of material of the Isolation Condensers. The | |||
inspectors reviewed the Oyster Creek in-service inspection program procedure ER-OC- | |||
330-1001, ISI Program Plan Fourth Ten-Year Inspection Interval to verify that it was | |||
modified to include inspections of the isolation condenser tube side components, eddy | |||
current testing of the tubes, and inspection (VT or UT) of the tube sheet and channel | |||
head to ensure that degradation is not occurring and the components intended functionwill be maintained. The inspectors reviewed selected NDE reports of isolationcondenser system piping and components, where degradation would result, to verifycompliance with ASME Section XI Code.The inspectors reviewed the UT wall thickness data sheet 96-023-03 from 1R16refueling outage which documented shell thickness measurements of the "B" Isolation | |||
Condenser. The UT results indicate that the shell thickness was over 0.350 inches in | |||
most cases with one reading at 0.312 inches. The vendor drawing 1691-655-20 | |||
indicates the shell thickness is 0.375 inches with 0.100 inches corrosion allowance with | |||
a minimum of 0.275 inches. Therefore, the "B" Isolation Condenser meets the originaldesign specifications. The inspectors noted that coating inspections performed by the | |||
applicant of the inside shell surface of the "B" Isolation Condenser during 1R16 in 1996 | |||
blistering of the coating was observed in most of the submerged sections. The coating | |||
on the inside shell of the isolation condensers is not credited in the aging managementprograms.Based on discussions with applicant personnel and reviews of the One-time AgingManagement Program basis documents, the inspectors determined the applicant has | |||
elected to perform a one-time aging management program inspection of the shell of | |||
isolation condenser prior to entering extended plant operations. | |||
23Enclosure b.ObservationThe inspectors identified an observation related to the monitoring of liquid leakage fromthe former drywell sand bed region related to the current operating license period. Thisobservation was determined not to be safety significant and has been entered into the | |||
applicant's ongoing corrective acti | |||
on system.A current commitment for monitoring the sand bed drains is in a staff Safety EvaluationReport transmitted by letter November 1, 1995. This Safety Evaluation Report | |||
requested a commitment to perform inspections "3 months after the discovery of any | |||
water leakage". Subsequent correspondence from General Public Utilities NuclearCorporation the licensee, at the time, clarified the commitment after discussions withthe staff. The commitment made and accepted by the staff in a February 15, 1996, | |||
letter was to perform an evaluation of the impact of any leakage during power | |||
operations and conduct additional inspections of the drywell approximately 3 months | |||
after discovery of the water leakage if the evaluation determines that it is warranted. This commitment was not meant to apply to minor leakage from normal refueling | |||
activities.During the inspection, the NRC team requested a walkdown of the torus room. AmerGen staff walked down the torus room prior to the NRC team making entry. Water | |||
collection jugs, fed by tubing from the former drywell sand bed drains, were emptied | |||
prior to the NRC's walkdown, without taking samples of the water in the jugs orrecording water levels. The fact that water was present in the jugs meant that leakage | |||
had been occurring. The applicant informed the NRC team that the bottles | |||
had beenimproperly emptied without measurement or analysis. Upon further investigation, the | |||
applicant could not find documentation that showed prior surveillance of the waterdrains had been completed. AmerGen staff also could not find documented evidence | |||
that strippable coating of the refueling channel had been applied. This strippable | |||
coating is used as a measure to limit or prevent water leakage during refueling | |||
operations.The applicant stated that, although there was no formal leakage monitoring in place,there has been no previous reported evidence of leakage from the former sand bed | |||
drains. Issue Report #348545 was submitted into the corrective action process when | |||
the missed commitment and the improper emptying of the bottles were discovered. | |||
This corrective action will capture the commitment in the applicant's computerizedscheduling process so that the required actions will be automatically prompted. Because there was no previously reported leakage, the applicant did not investigate thesource of leakage, take corrective actions, evaluate the impact of leakage, or perform | |||
additional drywell inspections. The applicant further stated that a number of actions had been taken to alleviate theprevious water leakage problem since discovery of the consequent drywell shell | |||
corrosion in the early 1990's. Some of the significant actions consisted of inspections | |||
of the reactor cavity wall, remote visual inspection of the trough area below the reactor | |||
cavity bellows seal area, and subsequent repair of the trough area and clearing of its | |||
drain. Clearing of the trough drain and repair of the trough routed any leakage away | |||
from the drywell shell. In addition, AmerGen believes that the strippable coating was | |||
24Enclosureapplied to the reactor cavity walls before the reactor cavity is filled with water as part ofrefueling activities to minimize the likelihood of leakage into the trough area. The license renewal application does not take credit for the use of the strippablecoating, or the monitoring of the water leakage in managing the aging affects on the | |||
liner. As long as the coating of the exterior surface of the former sand bed area is | |||
maintained, any amount of water can be present and have no affect on the corrosion | |||
rate. The thickness of the cylindrical portion of the liner is managed using ultrasonic | |||
testing and this program will capture any changes in corrosion rate due to water in theliner gap. AmerGen has taken corrective actions to ensure, in the future, the drains are | |||
monitored, and the strippable coating is applied. c.Overall FindingsThe inspection verified that there is an adequate approach to monitor and control theeffects of aging so that the intended function(s) of systems, structures, andcomponents, for which an aging management review is required, will be maintainedconsistent with the current licensing basis during the period of extended operation. Theinspection verified documentation, procedures, guidance, and personnel, appropriately | |||
supported the license renewal application.40A6 Meetings, Including ExitThe inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. T. Rausch, Oyster CreekGenerating Station Vice President, and other members of the licensee's staff in a | |||
meeting that was open for public observation on September 13, 2006. The licenseehad no objections to the NRC observations. No proprietary information was provi | |||
ded tothe inspectors during this inspection. The State of New Jersey, Department of | |||
Environmental Protection attended the exit meeting, and made a statement at themeeting concerning the observation associated with the monitoring of liquid leakage | |||
from the former drywell sandbed drains. In addition, they stated that a letter concerning | |||
this issue was sent to the NRC Region I Regional Administrator dated September 13,2006. A copy of this letter is available in the NRC ADAMS document managementsystem under ML062630218. | |||

200 Exelon Way, KSA 3-E
Kennett Square, PA 19348SUBJECT:OYSTER CREEK GENERATING STATION - NRC LICENSE RENEWALINSPECTION REPORT 05000219/2006007Dear Mr. Crane:
On March 31, 2006, the NRC completed the onsite portion of the inspection of your applicationfor license renewal of your Oyster Creek Generating Station. The inspection continued in ourRegion I office until early September 2006. The enclosed report documents the results of the
inspection, which were discussed on September 13, 2006, with members of your staff in an exit
meeting open for public observation at the Lacey Township Town Hall. The purpose of this inspection was to examine the plant activities and documents thatsupported the application for a renewed license of Oyster Creek Generating Station. Theinspection reviewed the screening and scoping of non-safety related systems, structures, andcomponents, as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), and determined whether the proposed aging
management programs are capable of reasonably managing the effects of aging. These NRC
inspection activities constitute one of several inputs into the NRC review process for licenserenewal applications.The inspection team concluded screening and scoping of non-safety related systems,structures, and components, was implemented as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), and the aging
management portion of the license renewal activities were conducted as described in the
License Renewal Application. The inspection results support a conclusion that the proposed
activities will reasonably manage the effects of aging in the systems, structures, andcomponents identified in your application. The inspection concluded the documentationsupporting the application was in an auditable and retrievable form.In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and itsenclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public DocumentRoom or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system(ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at

EnclosureReport Details4.OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)4OA2Other - License Renewal a.Inspection ScopeThis inspection was conducted by NRC Region I and headquarters based inspectors inorder to evaluate the thoroughness and accuracy of the screening and scoping of non-
safety related systems, structures, and components, as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2)and to evaluate whether aging management programs will be capable of managing theidentified aging effect in a appropriate manner.The inspection team selected a number of systems for review, using the NRC acceptedguidance, in order to determine if the methodology applied by the applicant appropriately
captured the non-safety systems affecting the safety functions of a system, component,or structure within the scope of license renewal.The inspection team selected a sample of aging management programs to verify theadequacy of the applicant's documentation and implementation activities. The selected
aging management programs were reviewed to determine whether the proposed aging
management implementing process would adequately manage the effects of aging on
the system.The inspectors reviewed supporting documentation and interviewed applicant personnelto confirm the accuracy of the license renewal application conclusions. For a sample of
plant systems and structures, inspectors performed visual examinations of accessibleportions of the systems to observe aging effects. a.1. Scoping of Non Safety-Related Systems, Structures, and ComponentsTo assess the thoroughness and accuracy of the methods
used to bring systems,structures, and components within scope of the application and to screen non-safety
related systems, structures, and components, as required in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), theinspectors reviewed the applicant's program guidance procedures and summaries of
results for Oyster Creek. The inspectors determined the applicant's procedures to be
consistent with the NRC accepted guidance in Sections 3, 4, and 5 of Appendix F toNEI 95-10, Revision 5 (3: non-safety related systems, structures, and componentswithin scope of the current licensing basis, 4: non-safety related systems, structures,and components directly connected to safety-related systems, structures, andcomponents, and 5: non-safety related systems, structures, and components not directlyconnected to safety-related systems, structures, and components). Also, the inspectorsdetermined that the applicant appropriately utilized the guidance in their process fordetermining which systems were within scope.
2EnclosureThe applicant based the scoping and screening results on a technical review andwalkdown of all applicable plant areas by qualified plant personnel. The inspectors
reviewed the set of license renewal drawings, which were color-coded based on the
results. The inspectors interviewed personnel and independently inspected numerous
areas within the plant to confirm that appropriate systems, structures, and componentshad been included within the license renewal scope, that systems, structures, andcomponents excluded from the license renewal scope had an acceptable basis, and that
the boundary for determining scope within the systems, including anchors, wasappropriate. For systems, structures, and components selected from the results, theinspectors confirmed that the in-plant configuration was accurate and acceptably
categorized, and for systems, structures, and components selected within the plant, theinspectors confirmed that the categorization result in program documents was
appropriate. The in-plant areas and systems reviewed included the following:*Reactor Building;*Turbine Building;
- Intake Structure;
- Ventilation Stack;
- Diesel Generator Building;
- Diesel Fuel Oil Building;
- Fire Protection System;
- Isolation Condenser System;
- Hardened Vent System;
- Nitrogen Supply System;
- Instrument Air System; and
- Service Water System.The inspectors determined the personnel involved in the process were knowledgeableand appropriately trained, and that the applicant had implemented an acceptablemethod of scoping and screening of non-safety related systems, structures, andcomponents. a.2. ProgramsOne-Time Inspection ProgramThe One-Time Inspection Program is a new aging management program intended toverify the effectiveness of other aging management programs, including Water
Chemistry, Closed Cycle Cooling Water Systems, and Fuel Oil Chemistry Programs, by
reviewing various aging effects for impact. Where corrosion resistant materials and/or
non-corrosive environments exist, the One-Time Inspection Program is intended to
verify that an aging management program is not needed during extended operations byconfirming that aging effects are not occurring or are occurring in a manner that does
not affect the safety function of systems, structures, and components within the scopeof the application. Non-destructive evaluation will be performed by qualified personnelusing procedures and processes consistent with the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The
3EnclosureOne-Time Inspection Program will be implemented prior to the period of ext
endedoperation. The inspectors reviewed the program description, implementation plan, and inspectionsample basis, and discussed the planned activities with the responsible staff.For the One-Time Inspection Program, the inspectors concluded the applicantperformed adequate evaluations and reviews of industry experience and plant history to
determine an acceptable approach to identifying, assessing and managing any aging
effects detected. The applicant developed adequate guidance for implementation ofthe One-Time Inspection Program. Bolting IntegrityThe Bolting Integrity Program is an existing program credited with managing the loss ofmaterial, cracking, and loss of prestress aging effects in safety-related bolting at Oyster
Creek. The aging effects are managed by visual inspection for leakage during systempressure tests, normal plant operation, and periodic system maintenance, and repairedin accordance with maintenance procedures and the ASME Code.The inspectors reviewed the program basis document, implementing procedures,documented reviews, and a bolting-related apparent cause evaluation, and interviewed
the responsible plant personnel regarding these documents. In addition, the inspectors
walked down portions of the Standby Liquid Control, Isolation Condenser, Control Rod
Drive, and Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water Systems to confirm that the program
had maintained acceptable bolting conditions. For the Bolting Integrity Program, the inspectors concluded that the applicant hadperformed adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to
determine the aging effects are managed by the Bolting Integrity Program. The
applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure the aging effects are appropriately
managed. Buried Piping InspectionThe Buried Piping Inspection Program is an existing program credited with managingthe loss of material aging effects on the external surfaces of piping in a soil
environment, including the service water, emergency service water, and condensate
transfer systems. The aging effects are managed by preventive measures, i.e.,coatings, wrapping, and condition monitoring measures, including visual inspections and
periodic system pressure testing. As described in Appendix B, Part 1.26 of theapplication, the applicant plans to enhance the program by augmenting the visualinspections prior to extended operations and performing periodic visual inspections, and
to include additional piping, such as the fire protection system.
4EnclosureThe inspectors reviewed the program basis document, system drawings, implementingprocedures, and documented reviews, and interviewed the responsible plant personnel
regarding these documents. Also, the inspectors walked down the service water and
emergency service water systems in the vicinity of buried piping.For the Buried Piping Inspection Program, the inspectors concluded that the applicanthad performed adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical
reviews to determine the aging effects managed by the Buried Piping Inspection
Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure the aging effects are
appropriately managed. Flow-Accelerated Corrosion ProgramThe Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program is an existing program credited with managingthe corrosion aging effects in all carbon steel piping and components containing high-
energy fluids at Oyster Creek Generating Station. The aging effects are managed byusing ultrasonic and radiographic testing to detect wall thinning and by predicting wear
rates to support the proactive replacement of system piping. In addition, the programprovides for the performance of follow-up inspections to confirm predictions and to
determine the need for repairs or replacements as necessary.The inspectors reviewed the piping ultrasonic testing wall thickness results fromprevious inspections and reviewed the CHECWORKS computer analysis of the future
wall thickness forecasts. The inspector also reviewed recent changes to the
CHECWORKS model to ensure previously identified deficiencies have been corrected.
The inspectors noted that recent replacements, initiated as a result of this program,
were implemented preventively due to identified flow-accelerated corrosion. The
replacement piping material was more resistant to corrosion than the original piping
material.For the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program, the inspectors concluded the applicantconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews
and, as a consequence, the effects of aging will be reasonably managed by theproposed program. Water Chemistry ProgramThe Water Chemistry Program is an existing program credited with managing theeffects of aging on piping, piping components, piping elements, and systems, such asthe condensate and feedwater, and condensate storage tank in Oyster CreekGenerating Station. The aging effects are managed by monitoring and control ofreactor water chemistry to minimize contaminant concentration and mitigate loss of
material due to general, crevice and pitting corrosion and cracking caused by stress
corrosion cracking.
5EnclosureWater chemistry control is administered in accordance with the Boiling Water ReactorVessel and Internals Project guideline BWRVIP-29 and Electric Power Research
Institute guideline EPRI TR-103515. The inspectors reviewed the chemistry procedures
and sampling results to confirm that the guidance contained in BWRVIP-29 and EPRI
TR-103515 was being implemented.For the Water Chemistry Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant
provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Closed-Cycle Cooling Water Systems ProgramThe Closed-Cycle Cooling Water Systems Program is an existing program credited withmanaging loss of material, cracking, and buildup-of-deposit aging effects in components
exposed to closed-cycle cooling water environments at the Oyster Creek GeneratingStation. Systems within the scope of the closed-cycle cooling water program include theturbine building closed cooling, reactor building closed cooling, and emergency diesel
generator closed cooling water systems. The aging effects are managed by monitoringand control of cooling water chemistry, performing surveillance tests, and throughperiodic inspection of system components in a manner consistent with EPRI TR-107396guidelines.The inspectors observed cleaning of the turbine closed-cooling water heat exchangerand performed a walkdown of
the system with plant personnel. In addition, theinspectors reviewed closed-cycle cooling water chemistry procedures and reviewed pastchemistry sample results to confirm that the requirements of EPRI TR-107396 are being
met.For the Closed-Cycle Cooling Water Systems Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management
program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are
appropriately managed. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J ProgramThe 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Program is an existing program credited withmanaging the aging degradation of pressure retaining boundaries of piping and
components of the various systems penetrating the containment at the Oyster CreekGenerating Station. In addition, the program also detects age related degradation inmaterial properties of gaskets, o-rings, and packing materials for the primary
containment pressure boundary access points. The aging effects are managed by
performing containment leak rate tests to assure that leakage through primary
containment and systems and components penetrating primary containment does notexceed allowable leakage limits specified in the Technical Specifications.
6EnclosureThe inspectors reviewed Oyster Creek's procedures for leak rate testing. In addition,the inspectors reviewed corrective actions for components that did not meet leak rate
test acceptance criteria. The inspectors noted that corrective actions taken to repair
these components were acceptable.For the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J Program, the inspectors concluded the applicanthad conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical
reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The
applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately
managed. Fuel Oil Chemistry ProgramThe Fuel Oil Chemistry Program is an existing program that will be modified for thepurpose of managing the affects of pitting and corrosion in the diesel fuel oil tank at the
Oyster Creek Generating Station. The aging effects are managed by the addition ofbiocides and corrosion inhibitors to minimize biological activity and mitigate corrosion,
periodic cleaning, and applying coating to the internal surfaces of the tank.The inspectors reviewed the schedule for implementation of the enhancements. Theinspectors reviewed recent sample results and tank thickness measurements to verify
that results were within the acceptable range.For the Fuel Oil Chemistry Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant
provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Boiling Water Reactor Feedwater Nozzle ProgramThe Boiling Water Reactor Feedwater Nozzle Program is an existing program that
willbe modified to implement the recommendations of the Boiling Water Owners GroupLicensing Topical Report: General Electric NE-523-A71-0594. These enhancements
willbe implemented prior to entering the period of extended operation per Oyster CreekAssignment Report AR# 00330592, A.1.05 Commitment (BWR Feedwater Nozzle). The
program is credited with managing the aging effects of cracking in the feedwater
nozzles. The program is administered by the station in-service inspection plan ER-OC-
330-1001, "ISI Program Plan Fourth Ten-Year Inspection Interval," and implemented by
station procedure ER-AA-330-002, "In-service Inspection of Section XI Welds and
Components". The station in-service inspection program incorporates the requirements
of the ASME Code. The aging effects are managed by periodic ultrasonic testing
inspections of critical regions of the feedwater nozzles. The ultrasonic test inspections
are performed at intervals not exceeding ten years and was embraced in an NRC safetyevaluation.
7EnclosureInspections performed in 1977 identified cracks in the Oyster Creek nozzles. Thesecracks were repaired. The inspectors reviewed plant modification #166-76-4,"Feedwater Nozzle Cladding Removal and Sparger Replacement" and reviewed
selected ultrasonic testing examination reports of the feedwater nozzles. To minimize
thermal cycling and fatigue induced cracking, the thermal sleeves were modified to a
piston design. Subsequent inspections found no indications in the feedwater nozzles.
The inspectors reviewed Focused Area Self-Assessment Report Oyster Creek Inservice
Inspection Program, completed in June 2004. The inspectors determined the feedwater
nozzle program at Oyster Creek effectively monitored the feedwater nozzles for
cracking.For the Boiling Water Reactor Feedwater Nozzle Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management
program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are
appropriately managed. Boiling Water Reactor Stress Corrosion Cracking ProgramThe Boiling Water Reactor Stress Corrosion Cracking Program is an existing agingmanagement program credited with managing crack initiation and growth due to
intergranular stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel and nickel alloy reactor coolant
pressure boundary piping, welds, components and piping four inches and larger nominal
pipe size exposed to reactor coolant above 200F. The aging effects are managed bypreventive measures which include monitoring and controlling water impurities byimproved water chemistry control activities and by providing replacement stainless steel
components in a solution annealed condition with a maximum carbon content of 0.035%
wt. and a minimum ferrite level of 7.5%. Inspection and flaw evaluations are conducted
in accordance with Oyster Creek in-service inspection program plan ER-OC-330-1001,
"ISI Program Plan Fourth Ten-Year Inspection Interval" and Oyster Creek's augmented
inspection program for IGSCC ER-OC-330-1002, "IGSCC Inspection Plan Fourth Ten-
Year Inspection Interval," which incorporates the technical basis and guidance described
in NUREG-0313, NRC Generic Letter 88-01, and staff-reviewed Boiling Water ReactorVessel Internal Inspection Program BWRVIP-75. The inspectors noted that where pre-emptive piping replacement was accomplished thereplacement piping material used was more resistant to intergranular stress corrosion
cracking than the original piping material. The applicant replaced the followi
ng syst empiping material with intergranular stress corrosion cracking resistant material: 1) all isolation condenser large bore piping outside the drywell from the drywellpenetrations to the isolation condensers during refueling outage 1R13 in 1991; 2) all piping within the four isolation condenser drywell penetrations and the tworeactor water cleanup system drywell penetrations which contained welds thatwere not inspectible;3) the head cooling spray nozzle assembly, the 4 inch tee and flange of thereactor vent line.
8EnclosureTo further mitigate the initiation and propagation of intergranular stress corrosioncracking the applicant implemented hydrogen water chemistry during cycle 12 in 1990and noble metals chemical additions during 1R19 refueling outage in 2002.
Additionally, all accessible welds susceptible to intergranular stress corrosion cracking
in reactor coolant boundary piping systems inside the drywell (except the reactor watercleanup system) were stress improved. The Boiling Water Reactor stress corrosion cracking aging management program usesultrasonic testing to detect intergranular stress corrosion cracking flaws in the reactor
coolant boundary piping prior to loss of intended functions of the components. Of the
380 welds included in the scope of Generic Letter 88-01, Oyster Creek identified, during
the period the program was implemented, there were 11 welds with indications of
intergranular stress corrosion cracking. Nine welds have been repaired with full
structural overlays (four in the core spray system, four in the reactor recirculationsystem, and one in the shutdown cooling system). Two reactor recirculation systemwelds, which were both stress improved before initial inspections had indications of
intergranular stress corrosion cracking, remained in service without repair. Both of
these welds in the reactor recirculation system have been re-examined in 2002 and2004 using the Improved Performance Demonstration Initiative ultrasonic test
examination technique and the welds did not exhibit any indication of intergranular
stress corrosion cracking. No new indications of intergranular stress corrosion cracking
have been detected by inspections during the past six refueling outages. As a result of
the implemented preventive measures to mitigate intergranular stress corrosion cracking
Oyster Creek has no indications of intergranular stress corrosion cracking at this time.
Therefore the inspectors determined that the Boiling Water Reactor Stress CorrosionProgram at Oyster Creek has been effective in monitoring and mitigating intergranular
stress corrosion cracking in the reactor coolant boundary piping systems. For the Boiling Water Reactor Stress Corrosion Cracking Program, the inspectorsconcluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging
management program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging
effects are appropriately managed. Periodic Inspection ProgramThe Periodic Inspection Program is a new program under development at Oyster Creekthat consists of periodic inspections of selected systems in the scope of license renewalthat require periodic monitoring of aging effects, and are not covered by other existing
periodic monitoring programs to verify the integrity of the systems and confirm theabsence of identified aging effects. The Periodic Inspection Program manages the
aging effect of change in material properties, loss of material and reduction of heat
transfer for systems, components, and environments. The aging effects are managedby periodic condition monitoring examinations performed at susceptible locations in the
systems, int
ended to assure that existing environmental conditions are not causingmaterial degradation that could result in a loss of system intended functions. The initialperiodic inspections of this new aging management program will be implemented
near
9Enclosurethe end of the current operating term but prior to the period of extended operation. Subsequent periodic inspections will be performed on a frequency not to exceed onceevery ten years.The Periodic Inspection Program provides inspection criteria, requires evaluation of theinspection results, and provides recommendations for additional inspections, as
necessary. Inspections will be performed in accordance with station procedures that arebased on applicable codes and standards. Inspection methods may include visual
examinations VT-1 or VT-3 of disassembled components or volumetric non-destructive
examination techniques. Some of the implementing procedures for the Periodic
Inspection Program were reviewed by the inspectors, including existing nondestructive
examination procedures ER-OC-330-1001, ISI Program Plan "Fourth Ten-Year
Inspection Interval," ER-AA-35-014, "VT-1 Visual Examinations," ER-AA-335-016, "VT-3
Visual Examination of Component Supports and Attachments," and ER-AA-335-032,
"Ultrasonic Through Wall Sizing in Pipe Welds". A periodic inspection table, which was
in draft at the time of this inspection, is a listing of sele
cted systems and components tobe periodically inspected to verify the integrity of the system and confirm t
he absence ofidentified aging effects was also reviewed. Based on review of the implementing
documents and procedures, the inspectors determined that the Periodic InspectionProgram, when implemented at Oyster Creek, will provide assurance that systems andcomponents are routinely inspected for age related degradation of change in material
properties, loss of material and reduction of heat transfer for systems, components, andenvironments, and
will adequately manage the identified aging effects.For the Periodic Inspection Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant
provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Wooden Utility Pole ProgramThe Wooden Utility Pole Program is a new program credited with managing the agingeffects of loss of material and change in material properties in all wooden utility poleswhich support an intended function for the offsite power systems at the Oyster CreekGenerating Station. The aging effects are managed by inspection of wooden poles
every ten years by a qualified inspector.The team reviewed program bases documents and industry guidance. The inspectorsalso conducted interviews and performed walkdowns with plant personnel. During the
walkdown, one pole (JC 514A L) was noted to be degraded. The applicant was able to
show that the condition had been previously analyzed and that plans are in place to
adequately reinforce the pole.For the Wooden Utility Pole Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to
determine aging effects managed by the Wooden Utility Pole Program. The applicantprovided adequate draft guidance to ensure aging effects will be appropriatelymanaged.
10EnclosurePeriodic Testing of Containment Spray NozzlesThe Containment Spray Nozzle Program is an existing program credited withdemonstrating that the drywell and torus spray nozzles are not blocked by debris or
corrosion products. Carbon steel piping upstream of the drywell and torus spray nozzles
is subject to possible general corrosion that could result in plugging nozzles with rust.
Periodic air tests verify that the drywell and torus spray nozzles are free from plugging
and are therefore available to provide the steam quenching functions of the nozzles.The team conducted interviews and reviewed program bases documents and previoustest results. The team noted that the existing program has been effective at identifyingand correcting degraded conditions. For the Periodic Testing of Containment Spray Nozzles Program, the inspectorsconcluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the
Containment Spray Nozzle Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to
ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Inaccessible Medium-Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification RequirementsThe Inaccessible Medium-Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Program is a new program developed for the purpose of
aging management credited with managing the moisture related aging effects in
medium-voltage cable systems at the Oyster Creek Generating Station. The agingeffects are managed by cable testing and periodic inspection of manholes. The team reviewed program bases documents and industry guidance. The inspectorsalso conducted interviews and performed walkdowns with plant personnel. The
manhole inspection frequency was initially established at the NUREG-1801,Revision 1,"Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report," recommended two-year
frequency based on Oyster Creek's operating experience that does not indicate a trend
or recurrence of cable submergence in manholes. However, NRC inspectors identified,approximately 2 inches of water in the manhole selected by the NRC team forinspection. Consequently, the applicant entered this issue into the corrective action
system (CA #IR 469998, #IR 471363) and documented the need to re-evaluate theadequacy of the manhole inspection frequency. Due to several medium-voltage cable failures in Oyster Creek's operating experience, amedium-voltage cable testing program is currently in place. Because of the limited
success of the previous DC step voltage testing method, Oyster Creek has begun
implementing a new method of cable testing provided by DTE Energy for most of the
medium-voltage cables. NUREG 1801 (XI.E3) specifies the test method should bestate-of-the-art at the time the test is performed. Although the new DTE Energy testingmethod is not yet recognized as an industry standard, it is a form of partial discharge
testing (partial discharge testing is one of the recognized standards specifically listed in
11Enclosurethe NUREG-1801), and the applicant expects formal acceptance of the new testingmethod as an industry standard prior to extended operation.The applicant has agreed to maintain the current testing frequency limit of six years inLRCR 289 for the first six years, after which the frequency may be re-evaluated and extended up to ten years. This change will provide sufficient time for successfuloperating experience prior to expanding to the NUREG 1801 recommended ten yearfrequency.For the Inaccessible Medium-Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49Environmental Qualification Requirements Program, the inspectors concluded the
applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the Inaccessible Medium-
Voltage Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements
Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are
appropriately managed. Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification RequirementsThe Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Program is a new program credited with managing the heat,radiation, and moisture aging effects in non-environmentally qualified electrical cables
and connections in Oyster Creek Generating Station. Connections include splices,
terminal blo
cks, connectors, and fuse blocks. The aging effects are managed byperiodic inspections. The team reviewed program bases documents, a draft implementing procedure andindustry guidance. The inspectors also conducted interviews and performed walkdowns
with plant personnel. Inspections will be done of all accessible cables and connectionsin adverse localized environments. This aging management program focuses on a
representative sample of accessible cables and connections with sampling structured to
include key areas of concern. Plant locations containing cables within scope that do not
include adverse general or localized conditions may be excluded from inspections based
on engineering evaluations. Because there were several examples of polyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding inOyster Creek's operating experience, the applicant agreed to specifically include
polyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding as an aging effect to be addressed in this
program. Although polyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding has not led to any
equipment degradation at Oyster Creek, there have been instances cited in
NRC'sInformation Notices 91-20 and 94-78 where polyvinyl chloride insulation bleeding under
unfavorable configurations caused hardened plasticizer to degrade equipment. As a
consequence of the NRC's review, the applicant entered this issue into their correctiveaction system (AR 00472707) in order to evaluate the current extent-of-condition ofpolyvinyl chloride cable insulation bleeding and determine if their original screening of
this aging affect should be revised.
12EnclosureFor the Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to
determine aging effects managed by the Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject
to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements Program. The applicant
provided adequate draft guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed.Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Used in Instrument CircuitsThe Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Used in Instrument Circuits Program is an existing program
modified for the purpose of aging management that manages aging of the cables of the
Intermediate Range Monitoring, Local Power Range Monitoring/Average Power Range
Monitoring, Reactor Building High Radiation Monitoring, and Air Ejector Off-Gas
Radiation Monitoring systems that are sensitive instrumentation circuits with low-levelsignals and are located in areas where the cables and connections could be exposed to
adverse localized environments caused by heat, radiation, or moisture. The aging
effects are managed by calibration, current/voltage, and time domain reflectometry
testing. The current program will be enhanced to include a review of the calibration andcable testing results for cable aging degradation.The team reviewed program bases documents, draft implementing procedure andindustry guidance. The inspectors also conducted interviews and performed walkdowns
with plant personnel.For the Electrical Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 EnvironmentalQualification Requirements Used in Instrument Circuits Program, the inspectors
concluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the Electrical
Cables and Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification
Requirements Used in Instrument Circuits Program. The applicant provided adequate
draft guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed.Fire Protection ProgramThe Fire Protection Program is an existing program modified for the purpose of agingmanagement credited with managing the fire barrier function aging effects in fire
protection systems and a diesel-driven fire pump inspection program. The aging effectsare managed by periodic inspection of fire barrier penetration seals, fire barrier walls,
ceilings, floors, and all fire rated doors. The program is credited with managing loss of
material aging effects in fuel oil lines of the diesel driven fire pump through periodic
testing of the pump. This aging management program will also manage the agingeffects of in-scope carbon dioxide and halon suppression systems, once enhancementsare made to periodically inspect these systems.
13EnclosureThe inspectors reviewed the Fire Protection Program as well as supporting documentsto verify the effectiveness of the Fire Protection Program. The inspectors also
conducted interviews and performed walkdowns of various fire protection systems withplant personnel to observe the effectiveness of the existing Fire Protection Program.
Enhancements to the existing program include guidance to identify fire barrier
degradation, surface integrity and clearance on fire doors inspected every two years, fire
pump diesel fuel supply system external surface corrosion examinations, and externalcorrosion and damage inspections for halon and low-pressure carbon dioxide fire
suppression systems. The inspectors noted an acceptable exception in the applicationof the NUREG-1801 guidance for 6-month periodicity on visual inspection and functionaltesting of halon and carbon dioxide fire suppressions. Oyster Creek Generating Station
performs in-depth operational tests and inspections on an 18-month periodicity. The
applicant does perform a weekly tank/charge check and a monthly valve position

examinations.Performance of water sampling for the presence of microbiological corrosionevery 5 years.
14EnclosureInclusion of visual inspection of the water storage tank heater pressure boundarycomponents during the periodic tank internal inspection.For the Fire Water System Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations, as well as industry experience and historical reviews
to determine aging effects managed by the fire water system program. The applicantprovided an acceptable plan to implement adequate guidance and terms to ensure
aging effects are appropriately managed. Periodic Inspection of Ventilation Systems ProgramThe Periodic Inspection of Ventilation Systems Program is an existing program atOyster Creek Generating Station modified for the purpose of aging management. Theprogram is credited with managing loss of material, changes in material properties, and
degradation of heat transfer in ventilation systems in the scope of license renewal(flexible connections, fan and filter housings, and access door seals). Instrument piping
and valves, restricting orifices and flow elements, thermowells, and Standby Gas
Treatment System ducting exposed to soil or sand will be added to the scope asenhancements to the program. The aging effects are managed by periodic inspections
that will be condition monitoring examinations performed at susceptible locations in thesystems, int
ended to assure that existing environmental conditions are not causingmaterial degradation that could result in a loss of system intended functions. The inspectors reviewed program bases documents, completed testing andmaintenance procedures, corrective action reports, design documents, and industry
guidance. The inspectors also conducted interviews and performed walkdowns of
accessible portions of Standby Gas Treatment and Reactor Building Ventilation Systems
with plant personnel.Complete visual inspections and performance tests of all ventilation systems in scopeare performed during system preventive maintenance activities on a frequency not toexceed five years. This includes system leakage and filter efficiency tests for StandbyGas Treatment, Reactor Building and Control Room Ventilation systems. An additionalnoted enhancement includes adding specific guidance to inspect for loss of material and
material property changes. For the Periodic Inspection of Ventilation Systems Program, the inspectors concludedthe applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management
program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are
appropriately managed. Periodic Inspection - Forked River Combustion TurbineThe Periodic Inspection - Forked River Combustion Turbine program is a new programcredited with addressing the two Forked River Combustion Turbine power plant
components in the scope of license renewal that require periodic monitoring of aging
15Enclosureeffects, and are not covered by other aging management programs. In the applicant'sresponse to the NRC's requests for additional information, RAI 2.5.1.19-1, datedOctober 12, 2005 and November 11, 2005, the applicant expanded the single agingmanagement for the Forked River Combustion Turbine to twelve aging management
programs. This periodic inspection program is one of twelve programs that monitor the
aging effects of the Forked River Combustion Turbine.The Periodic Inspection - Forked River Combustion Turbine aging management programmanages the aging effect of change in material properties, loss of material and reduction
of heat transfer for systems, components, and environments. The aging effects aremanaged by periodic inspections that will be condition monitoring examinationsperformed at susceptible locations in the systems, intended to assure that existingenvironmental conditions are not causing material degradation that could result in a loss
of system intended functions. These inspections will be performed on a periodicity not toexceed once every 10 years and will coincide with major combustion turbinemaintenance inspections.The two Forked River Combustion Turbines are owned, operated, and maintained byFirstEnergy, under contract to supply station blackout services to Oyster Creek
Generating Station. The inspectors reviewed program bases documents, maintenancerule performance data, walkdown reports, and action logs. Applicable portions of the
Interconnect and Station Blackout Agreements were reviewed. The inspectors also
conducted interviews and performed walkdowns with Oyster Creek Generating Station
and FirstEnergy personnel of the Forked River Combustion Turbine facility and portionsof its switchyard. The inspectors observed maintenance activities conducted by General
Electric for FirstEnergy on Forked River Combustion Turbine #2 during a minor outage. Though the Forked River Combustion Turbines are operated and maintained byFirstEnergy, Oyster Creek Generating Station assigns a system engineer to monitor theirperformance via monthly data sets and logs received from the onsite FirstEnergy
engineers. Significant events and maintenance on the Forked River Combustion Turbine
are logged and evaluated by the Oyster Creek system engineer for further action.At the time of this inspection, the implementing procedures for this program were notdeveloped. Hence, the aging management program elements have not been negotiatedwith FirstEnergy to be added into the Station Blackout Agreement. The Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation accepted AmerGen's response to 2.5.1.15-1 and 2.5.1.19-1 andrequests for additional information. Based on discussions with applicant personnel and
reviews of supporting documents, the inspectors concluded that the applicant has plans
to develop adequate guidance and terms for implementation of the Periodic Inspection -
Forked River Combustion Turbine Program. AmerGen will negotiate those terms into thestation blackout agreement.For the Periodic Inspection - Forked River Combustion Turbine Program, the inspectorsconcluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging
management program. The applicant provided an acceptable plan to implement
adequate guidance and terms to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed.
16EnclosureASME,Section XI, Subsection IWE ProgramThe ASME,Section XI, Subsection IWE Program is an existing program modified forthe purpose of aging management credited with managing the aging effects in drywell
containment systems in Oyster Creek Generating Station. ASME Section XI,Subsection IWE provides for inspection of primary containment components and the
containment vacuum breakers system piping and components. It covers steelcontainment shells and their integral attachments; containment hatc
hes and airlocks,seals and gaskets, containment vacuum breakers system piping and components, andpressure retaining bolting. The aging effects are managed by periodic visual
inspections, and periodic ultrasonic testing wall thickness measurements. Additionally,
the applicant will conduct monitoring of leakage from the drywell sand bed region drainsgoing forward, as an additional method to detect conditions favorable for corrosion to
occur. Only the visual and ultrasonic examinations are given credit for managing the
affects of aging. The inspectors reviewed all of the licensee's ultrasonic thickness testing inspectionresults for the condition of the drywell from 1983 through 2002, evaluations and
calculations of corrosion rates and projections of wall thickness for several locations on
the drywell. Also, the inspectors reviewed video records of the sand bed region
condition and the removal of the sand from the sand bed region. The inspectors
reviewed the structural analysis performed to confirm the structural integrity of the
drywell after the amount of corrosion had been determined. The inspectors reviewed
the most recently completed visual inspection results of the drywell sand bed exterior
coating and the UT measurements from higher elevations of the drywell.For the ASME,Section XI, Subsection IWE Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the ASME,Section XI,
Subsection IWE Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging
effects are appropriately managed, pending resolution of Safety Evaluation Report
Open Items OI 4.7.2-1.1 through OI 4.7.1-1.4, and OI 4.7.2-3.Protective Coating Monitoring and Maintenance ProgramThe Protective Coating Monitoring and Maintenance Program is an existing programcredited with managing the aging effects on the internal and external surfaces of the
torus and the condition of the drywell in the sand bed region in systems in Oyster CreekGenerating Station. The aging effects are managed by visual inspections of the
protective coatings on each component, and examination, evaluation and repair of all
coating defects observed. The inspectors reviewed the past inspection results in each area to understand whatconditions are being documented, the method of evaluation of recorded indications, the
repair methods used to fix any damaged or degraded coating. The inspectors also
looked at the licensee's cause determination for the underlying corrosion phenomena
and actions being taken to monitor the condition.
17EnclosureThe team concluded that as long as the coating integrity was maintained by thisprogram, the presence of water, as indicated by collection from the former sandbed
area drains, would not affect the rate of corrosion of the drywell at the former sandbed
area.For the Protective Coating Monitoring and Maintenance Program, the inspectorsconcluded the applicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry
experience and historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the Protective
Coating Monitoring and Maintenance Program. The applicant provided adequate
guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Above-Ground Outdoor Tank Monitoring ProgramThe Above-Ground Outdoor Tank Monitoring Program is a new program credited withmanaging the aging effects on above ground steel tanks in systems at the OysterCreek Generating Station. The aging effects will be managed by periodic visualinspections, some nondestructive evaluation inspections based upon maintenance
history and industry experience. The inspectors reviewed the Oyster Creek Generation Station template used to guideand control this inspection effort, conducted field walkdowns of four of the tanks
covered by the program and reviewed the industry operating experience which the
licensee has used to prepare this inspection program.For the Above-Ground Outdoor Tank Monitoring Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by the Above Ground Outdoor
Tank Monitoring Program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging
effects are appropriately managed. ASME Section XI, Subsection IWFThe ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Program is an existing program credited withmanaging the aging effects in the ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF. Subsection IWF
provides for periodic visual examination of ASME Section XI Class 1, 2, 3 and MC
components and piping support members for loss of mechanical function and loss of
material. Bolting is also included with these components, inspecting for loss of material
and for loss of preload by inspecting for missing, detached, or loosened bolts.The aging effects are managed by periodic visual examinations for corrosion and lossof material in structural members, loss of preload in bolting; missing, detached, or
loosened members or bolts; and any degradation of protective coatings. The program
has been enhanced by including additional MC components in the approved ASME
Section XI, Inservice Inspection program.
18EnclosureThe inspectors reviewed the program description, program basis documents, thecurrently approved ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF program, and the results of
previous inspections and examinations. The documents reviewed and discussions with
cognizant individuals indicated the operating experience of the In-service Inspection
program at Oyster Creek, which includes ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF aging
management activities, has not shown any adverse trend. Periodic self-assessments of
the program have been performed to identify the areas that need improvement tomaintain the quality and integrity of the program. The proposed aging management
program based on the ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF, is generally consistent with
the elements of XI.S3 of NUREG-1801 with some exceptions; e.g., NUREG 1801specifies ASME Section XI, 2001edition, including the 2002 and 2003 addenda,
whereas, the station program is based on ASME Section XI, 1995 edition with 1996
addenda, an acceptable alternate edition of the code. The enhancements includeadditional MC supports and inspection of underwater supports.For the ASME Section XI, Subsection IWF Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management
program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are
appropriately managed. Masonry Wall ProgramThe Masonry Wall Program is credited with managing the aging effects in masonrywalls at the Oyster Creek Generating Station as part of the Structural MonitoringProgram. The aging effects are managed by a program of inspection of masonry walls
for cracking on a frequency of four years to assure that the established evaluation basis
for each masonry wall remains valid during the period of extended operation.The inspectors reviewed the program description, program basis documents, thecurrently approved station procedures, the results of prior inspections, discussions with
cognizant personnel, and a walkthrough visual examination of accessible masonry walls
to assess the effectiveness of the current program. The scope of the program includes
all masonry walls that perform intended functions in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4, and
were covered by I. E.Bulletin 80-11. The inspections are implemented though station procedures. Maintenance history hasrevealed minor degradation of masonry block walls; but none that could impact their
intended function. In response to I.E.Bulletin 80-11, "Masonry Wall Design," and
Information Notice 87-67, "Lessons Learned from Regional Inspections of Licensee
Actions in Response to I.E.Bulletin 80-11," various actions have been taken. Actions
have included program enhancements, follow-up inspections to substantiate masonry
wall analyses and classifications, and the development of procedures for tracking and
recording changes to the walls. These actions have addressed all concerns raised by
I.E.Bulletin 80-11 and Information Notice 87-67, namely unanalyzed conditions,
improper assumptions, improper classification, and lack of procedural controls. A
review of operating experience indicates that the program is effective for managing
aging effects of masonry walls.
19EnclosureFor the Masonry Wall Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant had conductedadequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to determine
aging effects managed by an aging program. The applicant provided adequate
guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Structures Monitoring ProgramThe Structures Monitoring Program is an existing program that has been modified, andwill be further modified, for the purpose of aging management of structures andstructural components, including structural bolting within the scope of license renewal at
Oyster Creek Station. The program was developed based on Regulatory Guide 1.160,Revision 2, "Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," and
NUMARC 93-01 Revision 2, "Industry Guidelines for Monitoring the Effectiveness of
Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," to satisfy the requirement of 10 CFR 50.65,
"Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power
Plants". The scope of the program also includes condition monitoring of masonry walls andwater-control structures as described in the Masonry Wall Program and in the RG 1.127, and Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated With Nuclear Power
Plants aging management program. The enhanced program includes structures that
are not monitored under the current term but require monitoring during the period of
extended operation. Aging effects are managed by periodic visual inspections by
qualified personnel to monitor structures and components for applicable aging effects.
Specifically, concrete structures are inspected for loss of material, cracking, and a
change in material properties. Steel components are inspected for loss of material due
to corrosion. Masonry walls are inspected for cracking, and elastomers will bemonitored for a change in material properties. Earthen structures associated with
water-control structures and the Fire Pond Dam will be inspected for loss of materialand loss of form. Component supports will be inspected for loss of material, reductionor loss of isolation function, and reduction in anchor capacity due to local concrete
degradation. Exposed surfaces of bolting are monitored for loss of material, due to corrosion, loosenuts, missing bolts, or other indications of loss of preload. The scope of the program
will be enhanced to include structures that are not monitored under the current term butrequire monitoring during the period of extended operation. The inspectors reviewed the program description, program basis documents, thecurrently approved station procedures, the results of prior inspections, discussions with
cognizant personnel, and a walkthrough visual examination of accessible structural
items, including reinforced concrete and structural steel members, components and
systems to assess the effectiveness of the current program. The scope of the programalso includes all masonry walls that perform intended functions in accordance with
10 CFR 54.4, and were covered by I. E.Bulletin 80-11. The inspections included a
review of station procedures, maintenance history, inspection findings and followup of
inspection findings, and current inspection schedules. Inspection frequency is every
20Enclosurefour years; except for submerged portions of water-control structures, which will beinspected when the structures are dewatered, or on a frequency not to exceed ten
years. The program contains provisions for more frequent inspections to ensure that
observed conditions that have the potential for impacting an intended function areevaluated or corrected in accordance with the corrective action process. The
Structures Monitoring Program is consistent with the ten elements of aging
management program XI.S6, "Structures Monitoring Program," specified in NUREG-1801.For the Structures Monitoring Program, the inspectors concluded the applicant hadconducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and historical reviews to
determine aging effects managed by an aging management program. The applicant
provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Inspection of Water Control StructuresThe Inspection of Water Control Structures Program is an existing program modified forthe purpose of the aging management program credited with managing the aging
effects in Water Control Structure systems at the Oyster Creek Generating Station. The aging effects are managed by periodic inspections of the water control structures
for structural and hydraulic degradation, and potential loss of function of intended
service. The Water Control Structure Program is a subpart of the main Structures
Monitoring Program. It is based on the guidance provided in RG 1.127 and ACI 349.3R
and will provide for periodic inspection of the Intake Structure and Canal, the Fire PondDam, and the Dilution structure. The program will be used to manage loss of material,cracking, and change in material properties for concrete components, loss of material
and change in material properties for wooden components, and loss of material, and
loss of form of the dam, and the canal slopes. Inspection frequency is every four years;
except for submerged portions of the structures, which will be inspected w
hen thestructures are de-watered, or on a frequency not to exceed ten years. The program
willbe enhanced to ensure that water-control structures aging effects are adequately
managed during the period of extended operation.The inspectors reviewed the program description, program basis documents, thecurrently approved station procedures, the results of prior inspections, discussions with
cognizant personnel, and a walkthrough visual examination of accessible water control
structures, including com
ponents and systems to assess the effectiveness of thecurrent program. As the Water Control Structures Monitoring Program is a subpart of
the larger Structures Monitoring Program, this review was performed in conjunction with
the comprehensive review of the main Structures Monitoring Program. Inspection of
Water-Control Structures Associated with Nuclear Power Plants program is consistent
with the ten elements of aging management program.For the Inspection of Water Control Structures Program, the inspectors concluded theapplicant had conducted adequate evaluations as well as industry experience and
historical reviews to determine aging effects managed by an aging management
program. The applicant provided adequate guidance to ensure aging effects are
appropriately managed.
21EnclosureMetal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure BoundaryThe Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Aging Management Programmonitors select components in the reactor coolant pressure boundary by tracking and
evaluating contributing plant events. The Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure
Boundary program monitors operating transients and, by way of a computer program,
calculates up-to-date fatigue usage factors.The design basis metal fatigue analyses for the reactor coolant pressure boundary areconsidered time limited aging analysis for the purposes of license renewal. The Metal
Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Program provides an analytical basis for
confirming that the number of cycles, established by the analysis of record, will not beexceeded before the end of the period of extended operation. In order to determinecumulative usage factors more accurately, the program will implement FatigueProfatigue monitoring software. FatiguePro calculates cumulative fatigue using both
cycle-based and stress-based monitoring. This provides an analytical basis forconfirming that the number of cycles established by the analysis of record will not beexceeded before the end of the period of extended operation.For the Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Aging ManagementProgram, the inspectors reviewed the program including the basis calculations, ongoing
monitoring, corrective actions, limiting components, and current cumulative usage
factors for the limiting components. The applicant provided adequate guidance to
ensure aging effects are appropriately managed. Isolation Condenser System ReviewThe Oyster Creek license renewal application listed a number of plant systems withinthe scope of license renewal. From this list the inspectors selected the isolation
condenser system for a focused review to determine whether the applicant's agingmanagement programs were adequate to effectively manage aging effects related to
this component. The following aging management programs are credited for managing
aging effects of the isolation condenser system: ASME Section XI In-serviceInspection, Subsection IWB, IWC, and IWD; Bolting Integrity; BWR Stress Corrosion
Cracking; One Time Inspection; Structures Monitoring Program; and, Water Chemistry.
The inspectors focused on the loss of material aging effect to determine how it would
be managed by the identified programs applied specifically to the Isolation Condenser
System.Although the Oyster Creek 10 CFR 50, Appendix K, design basis event analysis, nolonger takes credit for the Isolation Condenser it is very important for post-accident heat
removal and mitigation of event consequences. It ranks very high on the probabilisticrisk worth for this reason. Because of its risk importance the inspectors reviewed the
aging management programs given credit for managing the affects of aging in the
system.
22EnclosureThe Isolation Condenser System contains safety-related components relied upon toremain functional during and following design basis events. For example the primary
coolant boundary must be maintained through the condenser. Additionally the failure of
nonsafety-related structures and components in the Isolation Condenser System could
potentially prevent the satisfactory accomplishment of a safety-related function. The
isolation condenser also performs functions that support fire protection and station
blackout. AmerGen is committed, in their application documents, to maintaining the waterenvironment of the secondary side because the integrity of the heat exchanger tubescan be affected from both the inside and outside. Additionally, the heat exchangershell, and therefore, the secondary water environment, is part of the One-Time Aging
Management program because it is required to maintain structural integrity during a
design basis earthquake to support the heat exchanger tubing and the attached reactor
coolant/steam line piping.The applicant proposed using the ASME Section XI In-service Inspection, SubsectionsIWB, IWC, and IWD aging management program with the water chemistry aging
management program to manage loss of material of the Isolation Condensers. The
inspectors reviewed the Oyster Creek in-service inspection program procedure ER-OC-
330-1001, ISI Program Plan Fourth Ten-Year Inspection Interval to verify that it was
modified to include inspections of the isolation condenser tube side components, eddy
current testing of the tubes, and inspection (VT or UT) of the tube sheet and channel
head to ensure that degradation is not occurring and the components intended functionwill be maintained. The inspectors reviewed selected NDE reports of isolationcondenser system piping and components, where degradation would result, to verifycompliance with ASME Section XI Code.The inspectors reviewed the UT wall thickness data sheet 96-023-03 from 1R16refueling outage which documented shell thickness measurements of the "B" Isolation
Condenser. The UT results indicate that the shell thickness was over 0.350 inches in
most cases with one reading at 0.312 inches. The vendor drawing 1691-655-20
indicates the shell thickness is 0.375 inches with 0.100 inches corrosion allowance with
a minimum of 0.275 inches. Therefore, the "B" Isolation Condenser meets the originaldesign specifications. The inspectors noted that coating inspections performed by the
applicant of the inside shell surface of the "B" Isolation Condenser during 1R16 in 1996
blistering of the coating was observed in most of the submerged sections. The coating
on the inside shell of the isolation condensers is not credited in the aging managementprograms.Based on discussions with applicant personnel and reviews of the One-time AgingManagement Program basis documents, the inspectors determined the applicant has
elected to perform a one-time aging management program inspection of the shell of
isolation condenser prior to entering extended plant operations.
23Enclosure b.ObservationThe inspectors identified an observation related to the monitoring of liquid leakage fromthe former drywell sand bed region related to the current operating license period. Thisobservation was determined not to be safety significant and has been entered into the
applicant's ongoing corrective acti
on system.A current commitment for monitoring the sand bed drains is in a staff Safety EvaluationReport transmitted by letter November 1, 1995. This Safety Evaluation Report
requested a commitment to perform inspections "3 months after the discovery of any
water leakage". Subsequent correspondence from General Public Utilities NuclearCorporation the licensee, at the time, clarified the commitment after discussions withthe staff. The commitment made and accepted by the staff in a February 15, 1996,
letter was to perform an evaluation of the impact of any leakage during power
operations and conduct additional inspections of the drywell approximately 3 months
after discovery of the water leakage if the evaluation determines that it is warranted. This commitment was not meant to apply to minor leakage from normal refueling
activities.During the inspection, the NRC team requested a walkdown of the torus room. AmerGen staff walked down the torus room prior to the NRC team making entry. Water
collection jugs, fed by tubing from the former drywell sand bed drains, were emptied
prior to the NRC's walkdown, without taking samples of the water in the jugs orrecording water levels. The fact that water was present in the jugs meant that leakage
had been occurring. The applicant informed the NRC team that the bottles
had beenimproperly emptied without measurement or analysis. Upon further investigation, the
applicant could not find documentation that showed prior surveillance of the waterdrains had been completed. AmerGen staff also could not find documented evidence
that strippable coating of the refueling channel had been applied. This strippable
coating is used as a measure to limit or prevent water leakage during refueling
operations.The applicant stated that, although there was no formal leakage monitoring in place,there has been no previous reported evidence of leakage from the former sand bed
drains. Issue Report #348545 was submitted into the corrective action process when
the missed commitment and the improper emptying of the bottles were discovered.
This corrective action will capture the commitment in the applicant's computerizedscheduling process so that the required actions will be automatically prompted. Because there was no previously reported leakage, the applicant did not investigate thesource of leakage, take corrective actions, evaluate the impact of leakage, or perform
additional drywell inspections. The applicant further stated that a number of actions had been taken to alleviate theprevious water leakage problem since discovery of the consequent drywell shell
corrosion in the early 1990's. Some of the significant actions consisted of inspections
of the reactor cavity wall, remote visual inspection of the trough area below the reactor
cavity bellows seal area, and subsequent repair of the trough area and clearing of its
drain. Clearing of the trough drain and repair of the trough routed any leakage away
from the drywell shell. In addition, AmerGen believes that the strippable coating was
24Enclosureapplied to the reactor cavity walls before the reactor cavity is filled with water as part ofrefueling activities to minimize the likelihood of leakage into the trough area. The license renewal application does not take credit for the use of the strippablecoating, or the monitoring of the water leakage in managing the aging affects on the
liner. As long as the coating of the exterior surface of the former sand bed area is
maintained, any amount of water can be present and have no affect on the corrosion
rate. The thickness of the cylindrical portion of the liner is managed using ultrasonic
testing and this program will capture any changes in corrosion rate due to water in theliner gap. AmerGen has taken corrective actions to ensure, in the future, the drains are
monitored, and the strippable coating is applied. c.Overall FindingsThe inspection verified that there is an adequate approach to monitor and control theeffects of aging so that the intended function(s) of systems, structures, andcomponents, for which an aging management review is required, will be maintainedconsistent with the current licensing basis during the period of extended operation. Theinspection verified documentation, procedures, guidance, and personnel, appropriately
supported the license renewal application.40A6 Meetings, Including ExitThe inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. T. Rausch, Oyster CreekGenerating Station Vice President, and other members of the licensee's staff in a
meeting that was open for public observation on September 13, 2006. The licenseehad no objections to the NRC observations. No proprietary information was provi
ded tothe inspectors during this inspection. The State of New Jersey, Department of
Environmental Protection attended the exit meeting, and made a statement at themeeting concerning the observation associated with the monitoring of liquid leakage
from the former drywell sandbed drains. In addition, they stated that a letter concerning
this issue was sent to the NRC Region I Regional Administrator dated September 13,2006. A copy of this letter is available in the NRC ADAMS document managementsystem under ML062630218.
