Dresden Nuclear PowerStation (DNPS), Units 2 and 3 adopted ASME Code Case N-460, "Alternative ExaminationCoverage for Class 1 and Class 2 Welds, Section XI, Division 1," which defines "essentially100%" as greater than 90% coverage of the examination volume or surface area, asapplicable.4.Impracticality of ComplianceRelief is requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), on the basis thatconformance with these Code requirements is impractical. Conformance would requireextensive structural modifications to the component structure.DNPS, Units 2 and 3, obtained Construction Permits CPPR-18 and CPPR-22 on January10, 1966, and October 14, 1966, respectively. The piping systems and associatedcomponents were designed and fabricated before the examination requirements of ASMESection XI were formalized and published. Since DNPS, Units 2 and 3 were not specificallyPage 1 of 18 ATTACHMENTDresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 10 CFR 50.55a Request Number 14R-17Relief Requested In Accordancewith 10 CFR50.55a(g)(5)(iii)--lnservice Inspection Impracticality-designed to meet the requirements of ASME Section XI, full compliance is not feasible orpractical within the limits of the current plant design.Physical obstructions imposed by design, geometry, and materials of construction are typicalof vessel appurtenances and sacrificial shield, insulation support rings, structural andcomponent support members, adjacent component weldments in close proximity, uniquecomponent configurations and dissimilar metal weldments.Tables 1 and 2 below indicate the refueling outage in which these welds were examined,and the coverage percentages obtained for those welds that have been examined. Thesetables are cumulative lists of all welds with limited examination coverage during the FourthInterval.Based on the above explanation, DNPS requests relief from the requirement to achievegreater than 90% volume and/or area coverage for the components listed in Tables 1 and 2below, where greater than 90% coverage is impractical.5.Burden Caused by ComplianceCompliance with the examination requirements of ASME Section XI would requiremodification of plant components to remove obstructions, redesigning of plant systems, andreplacement of components where geometry is inherent to component design.6.Proposed Alternativeand Basis for UseProposed AlternativeIn accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), EGC requests relief from ASME Section XICode requirements on the basis that the required "essentially 100%" coverage examinationis impractical due to physical obstructions and limitations imposed by design, geometry, andmaterials of construction for the components discussed in Tables 1 and 2 below.EGC willcontinue to perform best effort examinations in order to achieve the maximumamount of coverage.Additionally, a VT-2examination performed on the subjectcomponents during system pressure test per examination category B-P each refuelingoutage andcategory C-Heach inspection period is performed.Basis for UseExamination techniques have been progressively upgraded during this interval to augmentthe required Section XI examinations. EGC has used the Electric Power Research Institute(EPRI), the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI), Inservice Inspection vendors andother industry sources to encourage the development and provide an awareness ofimproved examination techniques. The goal of these initiatives is to enhance coverage andflaw detection commensurate with radiation dose reduction.Page 2 of 18 ATTACHMENTDresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and3 10 CFR 50.55a Request Number 14R-17Relief Requested In Accordancewith 10 CFR50.55a(g)(5)(iii)--Inservice Inspection Impracticality-EGC examination procedures are revised on a continuing basis to incorporate proventechniques for a higher level of safety and quality as they become available. Theexaminations and techniques used today exceed the examinations conducted in the past oneach component.All components received as a minimum, the required examination(s) applicable to the extentpractical due to the limited or lack of access available. The examinations conducted,confirmed satisfactory results evidencing no unacceptable flaws present, even though"essentially 100%" coverage was not attained. EGC has concluded that if any activedegradation mechanisms were to exist in the subject welds, those degradations would havebeen identified in the examinations performed.Based on the above, with the vintage of the DNPS, Units 2 and 3 designs, the underlyingobjectives of the code required volumetric and surface examinations have been met. Theexaminations were completed to the extent practical and evidenced no unacceptable flawspresent. Additionally, a VT-2 examination performed on the subject components duringsystem pressure test per examination category B-P each refueling outage and category C-Heach period provides additional assurance that the structural integrity of the subjectcomponents is maintained.7.Duration of Proposed AlternativeRelief is requested for the fourth ten-year inspection interval of the Inservice InspectionProgram for DNPS, Units 2 and 3.8.PrecedentsRelief was granted for the DNPS, Units 2 and 3 third ISI intervals in NRC safety evaluationsdated January 8, 2003, and October 1, 2004.Page 3 of

Limited examination coverage Component Number:                 See Tables 1 and 2 below for specific component identification
 
===2. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda===
The Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS),
Units 2 and 3 fourth ISI interval was based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code, Section XI, 1995 Edition with the 1996 Addenda.
: 3. Applicable Code Requirement(s)
Table IWB-2500-1, Table IWC-2500-1, and Table 1 of Code Case N-578-1 Examination Categories/Item Numbers B-A, B1.12, B1.40, B-D, B3.90, B3.100; B-K, B10.10, B10.20; B-M-1, B12.40; C-B, C-C, C2.21, C3.20; and R-A, R1.11, R1.20 require a volumetric and/or surface examination, which includes essentially 100% of the weld. Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS), Units 2 and 3 adopted ASME Code Case N-460, "Alternative Examination Coverage for Class 1 and Class 2 Welds, Section XI, Division 1," which defines "essentially 100%" as greater than 90% coverage of the examination volume or surface area, as applicable.
: 4. Impracticality of Compliance Relief is requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), on the basis that conformance with these Code requirements is impractical. Conformance would require extensive structural modifications to the component structure.
DNPS, Units 2 and 3, obtained Construction Permits CPPR-18 and CPPR-22 on January 10, 1966, and October 14, 1966, respectively. The piping systems and associated components were designed and fabricated before the examination requirements of ASME Section XI were formalized and published. Since DNPS, Units 2 and 3 were not specifically Page 1 of 18

                              --lnservice Inspection Impracticality-designed to meet the requirements of ASME Section XI, full compliance is not feasible or practical within the limits of the current plant design.
Physical obstructions imposed by design, geometry, and materials of construction are typical of vessel appurtenances and sacrificial shield, insulation support rings, structural and component support members, adjacent component weldments in close proximity, unique component configurations and dissimilar metal weldments.
Tables 1 and 2 below indicate the refueling outage in which these welds were examined, and the coverage percentages obtained for those welds that have been examined. These tables are cumulative lists of all welds with limited examination coverage during the Fourth Interval.
Based on the above explanation, DNPS requests relief from the requirement to achieve greater than 90% volume and/or area coverage for the components listed in Tables 1 and 2 below, where greater than 90% coverage is impractical.
: 5. Burden Caused by Compliance Compliance with the examination requirements of ASME Section XI would require modification of plant components to remove obstructions, redesigning of plant systems, and replacement of components where geometry is inherent to component design.
: 6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), EGC requests relief from ASME Section XI Code requirements on the basis that the required "essentially 100%" coverage examination is impractical due to physical obstructions and limitations imposed by design, geometry, and materials of construction for the components discussed in Tables 1 and 2 below.
EGC will continue to perform best effort examinations in order to achieve the maximum amount of coverage. Additionally, a VT-2 examination performed on the subject components during system pressure test per examination category B -P each refueling outage and category C- H each inspection period is performed.
Basis for Use Examination techniques have been progressively upgraded during this interval to augment the required Section XI examinations. EGC has used the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI), Inservice Inspection vendors and other industry sources to encourage the development and provide an awareness of improved examination techniques. The goal of these initiatives is to enhance coverage and flaw detection commensurate with radiation dose reduction.

                            --Inservice Inspection Impracticality-EGC examination procedures are revised on a continuing basis to incorporate proven techniques for a higher level of safety and quality as they become available. The examinations and techniques used today exceed the examinations conducted in the past on each component.
All components received as a minimum, the required examination(s) applicable to the extent practical due to the limited or lack of access available. The examinations conducted, confirmed satisfactory results evidencing no unacceptable flaws present, even though "essentially 100%" coverage was not attained. EGC has concluded that if any active degradation mechanisms were to exist in the subject welds, those degradations would have been identified in the examinations performed.
Based on the above, with the vintage of the DNPS, Units 2 and 3 designs, the underlying objectives of the code required volumetric and surface examinations have been met. The examinations were completed to the extent practical and evidenced no unacceptable flaws present. Additionally, a VT-2 examination performed on the subject components during system pressure test per examination category B-P each refueling outage and category C-H each period provides additional assurance that the structural integrity of the subject components is maintained.
: 7. Duration of Proposed Alternative Relief is requested for the fourth ten-year inspection interval of the Inservice Inspection Program for DNPS, Units 2 and 3.
: 8. Precedents Relief was granted for the DNPS, Units 2 and 3 third ISI intervals in NRC safety evaluations dated January 8, 2003, and October 1, 2004.

Subject:

Relief Request 14R-17, Inservice Inspection Program Relief Request Regarding Examination Coverage for the Fourth Inservice Inspection Interval In accordance with 10 CFR 50. 55a, "Codes and standards," paragraph (g)(5)(iii), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC), requests NRC approval of the attached relief request associated with the fourth inservice inspection (ISI) interval for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (DNPS). Relief is requested due to the impracticality of satisfying the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components,"

due to plant design. The fourth ISI interval for DNPS ended January 19, 2013.

The relief request is based on the limitations that precluded completion of full Code examination requirements of ASME Class 1 and 2 welds during the fourth interval. Code examination of the welds was limited due to the materials of construction and design configurations. The DNPS fourth ten - year ISI program plan met the requirements of ASME Code,Section XI, 1995 Edition with 1996 Addenda.

EGC requests approval of these requests by December 30, 2014.

There are no regulatory commitments contained within this letter. Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. Mitchel A. Mathews at (630) 657-2819.

--inservice Inspection Impracticality-

1. ASME Code Component(s) Affected Code Class: 1 and 2

References:

IWB-2500, IWC-2500, Table IWB-2500-1, Table IWC-2500-1, ASME Code Case N-460, ASME Code Case N-578-1, Table 1 Examination Category: B-A, B-D, B-K, B-M-1, C-B, C-C, R-A Item Number: B1.12, B1.40, B3.90, B3.100, B10.10, B10.20, B12.40, C2.21, C3.20, R1.11, R1.20

Description:

Limited examination coverage Component Number: See Tables 1 and 2 below for specific component identification

2. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda

The Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS),

Units 2 and 3 fourth ISI interval was based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code,Section XI, 1995 Edition with the 1996 Addenda.

3. Applicable Code Requirement(s)

Table IWB-2500-1, Table IWC-2500-1, and Table 1 of Code Case N-578-1 Examination Categories/Item Numbers B-A, B1.12, B1.40, B-D, B3.90, B3.100; B-K, B10.10, B10.20; B-M-1, B12.40; C-B, C-C, C2.21, C3.20; and R-A, R1.11, R1.20 require a volumetric and/or surface examination, which includes essentially 100% of the weld. Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS), Units 2 and 3 adopted ASME Code Case N-460, "Alternative Examination Coverage for Class 1 and Class 2 Welds,Section XI, Division 1," which defines "essentially 100%" as greater than 90% coverage of the examination volume or surface area, as applicable.

4. Impracticality of Compliance Relief is requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), on the basis that conformance with these Code requirements is impractical. Conformance would require extensive structural modifications to the component structure.

DNPS, Units 2 and 3, obtained Construction Permits CPPR-18 and CPPR-22 on January 10, 1966, and October 14, 1966, respectively. The piping systems and associated components were designed and fabricated before the examination requirements of ASME Section XI were formalized and published. Since DNPS, Units 2 and 3 were not specifically Page 1 of 18

--lnservice Inspection Impracticality-designed to meet the requirements of ASME Section XI, full compliance is not feasible or practical within the limits of the current plant design.

Physical obstructions imposed by design, geometry, and materials of construction are typical of vessel appurtenances and sacrificial shield, insulation support rings, structural and component support members, adjacent component weldments in close proximity, unique component configurations and dissimilar metal weldments.

Tables 1 and 2 below indicate the refueling outage in which these welds were examined, and the coverage percentages obtained for those welds that have been examined. These tables are cumulative lists of all welds with limited examination coverage during the Fourth Interval.

Based on the above explanation, DNPS requests relief from the requirement to achieve greater than 90% volume and/or area coverage for the components listed in Tables 1 and 2 below, where greater than 90% coverage is impractical.

5. Burden Caused by Compliance Compliance with the examination requirements of ASME Section XI would require modification of plant components to remove obstructions, redesigning of plant systems, and replacement of components where geometry is inherent to component design.
6. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), EGC requests relief from ASME Section XI Code requirements on the basis that the required "essentially 100%" coverage examination is impractical due to physical obstructions and limitations imposed by design, geometry, and materials of construction for the components discussed in Tables 1 and 2 below.

EGC will continue to perform best effort examinations in order to achieve the maximum amount of coverage. Additionally, a VT-2 examination performed on the subject components during system pressure test per examination category B -P each refueling outage and category C- H each inspection period is performed.

Basis for Use Examination techniques have been progressively upgraded during this interval to augment the required Section XI examinations. EGC has used the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI), Inservice Inspection vendors and other industry sources to encourage the development and provide an awareness of improved examination techniques. The goal of these initiatives is to enhance coverage and flaw detection commensurate with radiation dose reduction.

--Inservice Inspection Impracticality-EGC examination procedures are revised on a continuing basis to incorporate proven techniques for a higher level of safety and quality as they become available. The examinations and techniques used today exceed the examinations conducted in the past on each component.

All components received as a minimum, the required examination(s) applicable to the extent practical due to the limited or lack of access available. The examinations conducted, confirmed satisfactory results evidencing no unacceptable flaws present, even though "essentially 100%" coverage was not attained. EGC has concluded that if any active degradation mechanisms were to exist in the subject welds, those degradations would have been identified in the examinations performed.

Based on the above, with the vintage of the DNPS, Units 2 and 3 designs, the underlying objectives of the code required volumetric and surface examinations have been met. The examinations were completed to the extent practical and evidenced no unacceptable flaws present. Additionally, a VT-2 examination performed on the subject components during system pressure test per examination category B-P each refueling outage and category C-H each period provides additional assurance that the structural integrity of the subject components is maintained.

7. Duration of Proposed Alternative Relief is requested for the fourth ten-year inspection interval of the Inservice Inspection Program for DNPS, Units 2 and 3.
8. Precedents Relief was granted for the DNPS, Units 2 and 3 third ISI intervals in NRC safety evaluations dated January 8, 2003, and October 1, 2004.
