==Background:==
The staff issued License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance (LR-ISG) 2016-01, "Changes to Aging Management Guidance for Various Steam Generator Components" (ADAMS Accession No. ML 16237A383). LR-ISG-2016-01 provides the following guidance for aging management:
* Visual inspections: steam generator head internal areas (head interior surfaces, divider plate assemblies, tubesheets (primary side) and tube-to-tubesheet welds) in order to identify signs of cracking or loss of material (e.g., rust stains and distortion of divider plates). GALL Report AMP Xl.M19, "Steam Generators," which includes these visual inspections, is used to manage loss of material due to boric acid corrosion for channel heads and tubesheets and cracking due to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) for divider plate assembles and tube-to-tubesheet welds.
* Frequency of the visual inspections: at least every 72 effective full power months or every third refueling outage whichever results in more frequent inspections
* Implementation of the latest EPRI steam generator guidelines, including: (a) EPRI Report 1022832 (primary-to-secondary leak guidelines); (b) EPRI Report 1025132 (in-situ pressure test guidelines); (c) EPRI Report 3002007571 (integrity assessment guidelines); and (d) EPRI Report 3002007572 (examination guidelines) Issue: The staff needs to confirm whether the applicant's Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program is consistent with the guidance discussed above. NRC Request #1 Clarify whether the Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program is consistent with the guidance discussed above (i.e., conduct of visual inspections to manage loss of material and cracking due to PWSCC; visual inspection frequency; and implementation or plans for implementation of the latest EPRI steam generator guidelines by the implementation dates provided by the industry). If not, provide justification of why the applicant's Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program is adequate for aging management. As part of the response, clarify whether the aging management associated with LRA item 3.1.1-81 for divider plates uses the Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 1/ Page 3 NextEra Energy Seabrook's Response to RAI 8.2.1.10-3, Request #1 Seabrook's Steam Generator Tube Integrity program is consistent with the guidance presented within LR-ISG-2016-01 concerning visual inspections, inspection frequency, and there are plans to implement the latest available and approved EPRI guidelines by the implementation dates provided by the industry. Appendix A and Appendix B have been revised to reflect these changes as shown in Enclosures #2 and #3. Aging management associated with License Renewal Application (LRA) Table 3.1.2-4, Steam Generator Summary of Aging Management Evaluation, Table 3.X.1 Item 3.1.1-81 (LRA page 3.1-96), and Table 3.1.1 (LRA Table 3.1.1-Summary of Aging Management Evaluations for the Reactor Vessel, Internals, and Reactor Coolant System, page 3.1-39) will utilize the Water Chemistry program and the Steam Generator Tube Integrity aging management programs.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 1/ Page 4 NRC Request #2 Given the divider plate assembles are made with Alloy 600 type material susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking, provide information to confirm that the industry analyses in EPRI Report 3002002850 assessing the significance of divider plate cracking are applicable and bounding for the conditions at the applicant's unit. If not, identify a plant-specific program that will be used to manage cracking for the divide plate assemblies. NextEra Energy's Seabrook Response to RAI B.2.1.10-3, Request #2 Industry analyses within EPRI Technical Reports 3002002850, 1014982, and 1020988 are applicable and bounding for NextEra Energy Seabrook Station steam generator divider plate assemblies. Prior to issuance of LR-ISG-2016-01, Seabrook Station committed to performing an inspection of each steam generator to assess the condition of the divider plate assembly within 5 years prior to the period of extended operation (Commitment #55). With the issuance of LR-ISG-2016-01 and subsequent evaluation showing that the Seabrook Station steam generator divider plate assemblies are bounded by the industry analyses, Seabrook Station will follow the inspection guidance provided within LR-ISG-2016-01 and remove Commitment #55. Inspections will start during the period of extended operation per LR-ISG-2016-01. A revised License Renewal Application Appendix A.3 Commitment List is provided within Enclosure 4.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 2/ Page 2 UFSAR Supplement Appendix A has been revised based on guidance provided within LR-ISG-2016-01 -Changes to Aging Management Guidance for Various Steam Generator Components. A.2.1.10 STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INTEGRITY The Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program manages the aging effects of cracking, loss of material, reduction of heat transfer and wall thinning from flow accelerated corrosion of the Steam Generator components. The program manages the aging of steam generator tubes, tube plugs, tube supports, divider plate assemblies, tube-to-tubesheet welds, heads, primary side tubesheets, and secondary side components that are contained within the steam generator. The program is based on NEI 97-06 Rev. 3--2:, "Steam Generator Program Guidelines" and the associated EPRI guidelines, the response and commitment to Generic Letter 97-06, "Steam Generator Program Guidelines", and Seabrook Station Technical Specification 3/4.4.5 "Steam Generators" which ensure that the performance criteria for structural integrity, accident-induced leakage, and operational leakage are not exceeded. Seabrook Station has implemented the operational leakage limits found in NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors". General visual inspections of the internal surfaces of steam generator heads looking for indication of cracking or loss of material (e.g. rust staining) will be performed at least every 72 effective full power months, or every third refueling outage; whichever results in more frequent inspections. This program also utilizes foreign material exclusion and secondary side maintenance activities (e.g. sludge lancing for deposit removal) to minimize component degradation. Technical specification requirements on steam generator tube volumetric examinations, condition monitoring, and operational assessments are performed to ensure tube integrity will be maintained until the next inspection. Seabrook 1..vill perform an inspection of each steam generator to assess the condition of the divider plate assembly *..vithin five years prior to entering the period of extended operation. Seabrook Station has addressed the potential for cracking of the primary to secondary pressure boundary due to PWSCC of tube-to-tubesheet welds. Amendment 131 to the Facility Operating License No. NPF-86 for Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 was issued on September 10, 2012 (ML 12178A537). This amendment provides permanent application of steam generator tube alternate repair criteria, H*. to SBK-L-17087 Supplement 53 -NextEra Energy Seabrook's revised License Renewal Application, Appendix B -Aging Management Programs, B.2.1.10 Steam Generator Tube Integrity U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 3/ Page 2 LRA Appendix B -Aging Management Programs, has been revised based on guidance provided due to issuance of LR-ISG-2016-01 -Changes to Aging Management Guidance for Various Steam Generator Components. B.2.1.10 STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INTEGRITY Program Description The Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program is an existing program that manages the aging effects of cracking due to intergranular attack, outer diameter stress corrosion cracking, primary water stress corrosion cracking, and stress corrosion cracking; loss of material due to general, crevice and pitting corrosion, erosion, fretting and wear; reduction of heat transfer due to fouling, and wall thinning from flow accelerated corrosion of the Steam Generator components. The Seabrook Station program is applicable to managing the aging of Steam Generator tubes, tube plugs, aRG-tube supports, divider plate assemblies, tubesheet welds, heads, primary side tubesheets, and secondary side components that are contained within the steam generator. Seabrook Station has not used tube sleeving repair. Industry experience has shown that mill annealed alloy 600 Steam Generator tubes have experienced tube degradation due to corrosion, primary water stress corrosion cracking, outside diameter stress corrosion cracking, intergranular attack, pitting, and wastage, along with other mechanically induced degradation, such as denting, wear, impingement damage, and fatigue. The Seabrook Station Steam Generator tubes are Alloy 600 thermally treated tubes. The dominant degradation mode at this time for thermally treated alloy 600 tubes is wear. The Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program is based on NEI 97-06 Rev. 3, "Steam Generator Program Guidelines", the response and commitment to Generic Letter 97-06, "Degradation of Steam Generator Internals", and Seabrook Station Technical Specification 3/4.4.5, "Steam Generators," which ensure that the performance criteria for structural integrity, accident-induced leakage, and operational leakage are not exceeded. Seabrook Station has implemented the operational leakage limits found in NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors". General visual inspections of the internal surfaces of steam generator heads looking for indication of cracking or loss of material (e.g. rust staining) will be performed at least every 72 effective full power months, or every third refueling outage; whichever results in more frequent inspections. This program identifies and maintains Steam Generator design and licensing basis, and establishes a framework for prevention, inspection, evaluation, repair and leakage monitoring measures to ensure that program requirements are met. Operational leakage limits are included to ensure that, should substantial tube U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 3/ Page 3 leakage develop, prompt action is taken. These limits are described in Seabrook Station Technical Specifications. Seabrook Station Technical Specification 6.7.6.k, "Steam Generator (SG) Program", specifies Steam Generator inspection scope, frequency, and acceptance criteria for the plugging and repair of flawed tubes. NRG Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.121, "Bases for Plugging Degraded Steam Generator Tubes", provides guidelines for determining the tube repair criteria and operational leakage limits. The program includes preventive measures to mitigate degradation related to corrosion phenomena through water chemistry control and the secondary side cleaning and inspection. The Water Chemistry Program, B.2.1.2, mitigates the potentially corrosive effects of the primary and secondary water on the interior and exterior surfaces of the Steam Generator tubes and other Steam Generator internals. The Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program includes foreign material exclusion guidance, consistent with NEI 97-06. The program includes prevention and detection of foreign objects in the secondary side of the Steam Generators as a means to inhibit wear degradation by performing foreign object search and retrieval at each inspection outage when the hand-hole covers are removed for Steam Generator cleaning. The objectives of the secondary side inspection plan are to inspect the Steam Generators for foreign objects, perform visual assessments of sludge and visual inspections for secondary side integrity and corrosion. The secondary side inspections have been expanded to examine additional areas of the upper tube bundle and inner tube bundle. The upper internal regions of the tube bundle are inspected for sludge accumulation on the tube support plates. Secondary side inspections are performed every third refueling outage. The program provides criteria for the qualification of personnel, specific inspection techniques, and associated acquisition and analysis of data, including procedures, probe selection, analysis protocols, and reporting criteria. The performance criteria pertain to structural integrity, accident-induced leakage, and operational leakage. Nondestructive examination techniques are used to inspect all tubing materials to identify tubes with degradation that may need to be removed from service or repaired. Tubes containing flaws that do not meet the acceptance criteria are plugged. Assessment of tube integrity and plugging or repair criteria of flawed tubes is in accordance with Seabrook Station Technical Specifications. Degraded plugs and tube supports are evaluated in accordance with the Seabrook Station Corrective Action Program. The program includes requirements for assessment of degradation mechanisms that consider operating experience from similar steam generators and, for each mechanism, defines the inspection techniques as well as the sampling strategy. Compliance with NRG Regulatory Guide 1.121 for plugging or repairing steam generator tubes is achieved through implementation of the NEI 97-06 criteria as incorporated into the program and Seabrook Station Technical Specifications. Tube inspection scope and frequency, plugging or repair, and leakage monitoring are in accordance with the Seabrook Station Technical Specifications and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 3/ Page 4 Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program implemented in accordance with NEI 97-06. Plug inspection scope and frequency, plugging or repair, and leakage monitoring are in accordance with the Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program implemented in accordance with NEI 97-06. Tube support plate inspection scope and frequency are in accordance with the Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program implemented in accordance with NEI 97-06 as well as the program enhancements committed to in Seabrook Station's response to GL 97-06. Tube integrity is demonstrated by satisfying the structural integrity and leakage performance criteria in conjunction with the performance acceptance standards. Condition monitoring and assessments are performed after inspections to verify that structural and leakage integrity will be maintained for the operating interval between inspections. Comparison of the results of the condition monitoring assessment with the predictions of the previous operational assessment provides feedback for evaluation of the adequacy of the operational assessment and additional insights that can be incorporated into the next operational assessment. Seabrook i.vill perform an inspection of each steam generator to assess the condition of the divider plate assembly 1.vithin five years prior to entering the period of extended operation (Per Commitment #55). The inspection techniques used 'Nill be capable of detecting primary water stress corrosion cracking in the steam generator divider plate assemblies and their associated '.velds. Any evidence of cracking will be documented and evaluated under the corrective action program. Seabrook Station has addressed the potential for cracking of the primary to secondary pressure boundary due to PWSCC of tube-to-tubesheet welds. Amendment 131 to the Facility Operating License No. NPF-86 for Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 was issued on September 10, 2012 (ML 12178A537). This amendment provides permanent application of steam generator tube alternate repair criteria, H*. NUREG-1801 Consistency This program is consistent with NUREG-1801-Xl.M19 as modified by LR ISG 2011 02 LR-ISG-2016-01.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 3/ Page 5 Exceptions to NUREG-1801 There are no exceptions to NUREG-1801-Xl.M19 as modified by LR ISG 2011 02 JSG-2016-01. Enhancements None Operating Experience 1. Seabrook Station is a four-loop plant with Westinghouse Model F Steam Generators. There are 5626 tubes in each of the four Steam Generators. The design of these Steam Generators includes Alloy 600 thermally treated tubing, depth hydraulically expanded tubesheet joints, with urethane (hydrostatic) tack expansions at the tube ends. The tube support plates are broach-holed quatrefoil plates fabricated of Type 405 stainless steel. The U-bends of the first ten rows of tubing were stress relieved after bending. Seabrook Station has completed 13 cycles of plant operations. To date, Seabrook Station has identified the following tube degradation mechanisms: a. Anti-vibration bar wear due to flow induced vibration in the U-bends of larger radius tubes. b. Minor wear at flow distribution baffles associated with pressure pulse cleaning. c. Possible wear due to foreign objects. d. outside diameter stress corrosion cracking in a small subset of tubes 'Nith elevated residual stress in Steam Generator "D" Outside diameter stress corrosion cracking. e. top of tubesheet outside diameter stress corrosion cracking in one tube in Steam Generator "C" Primary water stress corrosion cracking. 2. During Refueling Outage 8 (Spring of 2002), axial indications were identified on several Steam Generator tubes at the quatrefoil tube support plates in Steam Generator "D" with eddy current testing and confirmed with ultrasonic examination. A root cause evaluation was performed and concluded that outside diameter stress corrosion cracking was the degradation mechanism for the Seabrook Station's Steam Generators. The root cause of the cracking has been determined to be high residual stress due to a manufacturing anomaly in a defined subset of Seabrook Station Steam Generator tubes. A total of 21 tubes were identified in the subset, 15 of which had cracks and were plugged. The remaining 6 tubes were inspected and plugged in Refueling Outage 9 (Fall of 2003). Subsequent inspections have shown that outside diameter stress corrosion cracking was limited to the defined subset of the tube population and no longer exists in the Seabrook Station Steam Generators for tubes with high residual stress. 3. During Refueling Outage 12 (Spring of 2008), foreign objects were discovered in Steam Generator "B'' during the inspection of the steam drum area. The root cause evaluation was performed, which concluded that the cause of the foreign objects being in the Steam Generator was inadequate foreign material exclusion U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 3/ Page 6 controls of material used in Steam Generator "B" steam drum inspection. The root cause evaluation's recommended corrective action to prevent re-occurrence was to revise the job plan for Steam Generator inspection to include a pre-use inspection of all materials brought into the Steam Generators for concealed/loose foreign material. This corrective action has been implemented. 4. The Steam Generator degradation assessment for Refueling Outage 13 (Fall of 2009) identified operating experience at Vogtle Unit 1 where axial and circumferential outside diameter stress corrosion cracking was reported at the top of the hot leg tubesheet. Vogtle has Westinghouse Model F Steam Generators with Alloy 600 thermally treated tubing similar to Seabrook Station. Vogtle Unit 1 was the first U.S. plant to report axial outside diameter stress corrosion cracking at the top of the tube sheet in a Model F Steam Generator. Accordingly, this operating experience was incorporated into the implementation plan for Refueling Outage 13 (Fall of 2009) as part of the Steam Generator inspections. Subsequently, during Seabrook station's Refueling Outage 13, top of tube sheet inspections were completed. An axial outside diameter stress corrosion cracking indication was found on one tube in Steam Generator "C" hot leg. The indication was approximately 0.2 inches below the top of the tube sheet and was 0.10 inches long. The tube was plugged on both the hot leg and cold leg sides. The Steam Generator degradation assessment for Refueling Outage 13 also discusses the status of anti-vibration bar wear and the minor wear at flow distribution baffles associated with pressure pulse cleaning. The flow distribution baffle wear was discovered in Steam Generators "A" and "D". A single wear indication was reported during Refueling Outage 9 (Fall of 2003) at the flow distribution baffle. These indications were retested at Refueling Outage 11 (Fall 2006) to determine if there was any progression of the wear. These indications are attributed to a prior pressure pulse cleaning of the steam generators, based on the location of the indications relative to the pressure pulse locations. Similar indications have been observed in other Model F steam generators at other plants that have applied the pressure pulse cleaning process. The re-examination of these indications at Refueling Outage 11 (Fall of 2006) resulted in no degradation found at the location in Steam Generator "A" and no progression of the wear of the indication in Steam Generator "D". The anti-vibration bar wear is flow induced vibration at the intersections of the tubes with the anti-vibration bars and is an existing indication in all four Steam Generators. Analysis has determined that for Model F Steam Generators, the number of tubes considered susceptible to anti-vibration bar wear is typically less than 3% of the total number of tubes, with only a fraction of the susceptible tubes expected to require plugging. Tubes that were plugged for anti-vibration bar wear continue to wear after plugging and have been observed to wear through wall after a period of time. Analysis for Seabrook Station concluded that the originally worn plugged tubes would not achieve a condition that could present risk of tube separation before contacting the adjacent tubes. It was further determined that, if an active tube is adjacent to a worn, plugged tube, the progression of contact U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 3/ Page 7 wear on the active tube would be very slow and sufficient operating time is available under the current Seabrook Station inspection plan (4 Steam Generators per outage, every other outage) that wear would be identified during the planned inspections. Continuing wear on a plugged tube is benign with respect to tube separation since no risk of tube separation was identified for any axially oriented degradation mechanisms. 5. Through Refueling Outage 13 (Fall of 2009), Seabrook Station has plugged a total of 173 tubes in the Steam Generators (A-34, B-25, C-50, and D-64). 6. LR-ISG-2016-01 was utilized to revise this program. Operating experience as described within the ISG focuses on supplementing the Water Chemistry program with visual inspections within the Steam Generator Tube Integrity program. There have been instances where the Water Chemistry program alone has not been sufficient at preventing aging due to Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking on components within the steam generator head. Seabrook will perform general visual inspections of the internal surfaces of steam generator heads looking for indication of cracking or loss of material (e.g. rust staining) at least every 72 effective full power months, or every third refueling outage; whichever results in more frequent inspections. The operating experience of the Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program provides objective evidence that the program effectively identifies degradation prior to loss of intended function. Appropriate guidance for evaluation, repair, or replacement is provided for locations where degradation is found. External operating experience is effectively reviewed and incorporated into the Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program. Conclusion The Seabrook Station Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program provides reasonable assurance that the aging effects will be adequately managed such that applicable components will continue to perform their intended functions consistent with the current licensing basis for the period of extended operation. to SBK-L-17087 Supplement 53 -NextEra Energy Seabrook's revised LRA Appendix A -Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement Table A.3, License Renewal Commitment List U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission SBK-L-17087 I Enclosure 4/ Page 2 A.3 LICENSE RENEW AL COMMITMENT LIST No. PROGRAM or TOPIC COMMITMENT Provide confirmation and acceptability of the 1.
