ENCLOSURE 2 NEXTERA ENERGY POINT BEACH, LLC POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST 261 EXTENDED POWER UPRATE NON-PROPRIETARY RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The NRC staff determined that additional information was required (Reference 1) to enable the Mechanical and Civil Engineering Branch to complete its review of License Amendment Request (LAR) 261, Extended Power Uprate (EPU) (Reference 2). The following information is provided by NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) in response to the NRC staff's request. | |||
Introduction By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated April 2, 2009 (Agencywide Document and Management System Accession No. ML091250564), the licensee of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2, NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, submitted a license amendment request (LAR), pursuant to the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 50.90, "Application for Amendment of License or Construction Permit." The LAR proposes to increase the power level of the current Renewed Operating License (OL) to 1,800 megawatts thermal (MWt), approximately 17% above the current licensed thermal power (CLTP) of 1,540 MWt and approximately 18.5% above the Original Licensed Thermal Power (OLTP) of 1,518.5 MWt. | |||
The Mechanical & Civil Engineering Branch staff has reviewed the LAR licensing report (LR) for power uprate. The staff has identified that additional information is needed to complete the review, The staff's request for additional information (RAI) is attached. This request does not include items related to safety-related valves and pumps since review of these components is performed by the Component Integrity, Performance and Testing Branch. Please note that EMCB RAls related to LR Section 2.2. I , "Pipe Rupture Locations and Associated Dynamic Effects" and Section 2.2.5, "Seismic and Dynamic Qualification of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment", if required, will be submitted via a separate memorandum. | |||

Requests for Additional Information EMCB RAI 14 For the vessel support, LR Table 2.2.2.3-3 shows fatigue CUF of 0.995 for CLTP to 60 year plant renewed life and 10.8421for post-EPU. | |||
a) Clarify whether the EPU CUF value of 0.842 is applicable for the 60 year plant renewed life? | |||
Note 2 of Table 2.2.2.3-3 states that: "Number 0.842 was calculated using a stress concentration factor (SCF) of 1.5 applied to thermal stresses, as determined from a finite element analysis. The pre-EPU cumulative fatigue usage factor 0.995 applied on overly conservative SCF of 3.27 to the thermal stresses." | |||
b) Please provide a description which clearly shows how these stress concentration factors have been developed and the geometry that they apply to. | |||
NextEra Response a) The EPU CUF value of 0.842 for the external support brackets is applicable for the 60 year plant renewed life. | |||
Note 2 of Table 2.2.2.3-3 states that: "Number 0.842 was calculated using a stress concentration factor (SCF) of [ ] applied to thermal stresses, as determined from a finite element analysis. The pre-EPU cumulative fatigue usage factor 0.995 applied an overly conservative SCF of [ ] to the thermal stresses." | |||
b) The original stress report (OSR) used SCFs from Figure A.7-1 of U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Technical Services report PB-I 51-987, "Tentative Structural Design Basis for Reactor Pressure Vessels and Directly Associated Components." This document was a pre-cursor to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) | |||
Code. The [ ] SCF was taken directly from the figure and pertains to fillets on a stepped bar subject to tensile loading. | |||
In the OSR, the [ ] a" SCF was used to calculate peak stresses at the 1.I25 inch fillet juncture at the bottom of the external support bracket and the vessel shell. It was also used to calculate the peak stresses at the compound fillet lower corner junctures of the external support bracket and the vessel shell. The compound fillet lower corner junctures resulted from blending the 1.I25 inch fillet and the 2 inch fillet between the sides of the external support bracket bottom plate and the vessel shell. The limiting location for fatigue in the OSR was at one of the compound fillet lower corner junctures. | |||
Therefore, the new SCF developed, as described below, was applicable to the same limiting compound fillet lower corner juncture. | |||
Page 2 of 12 | |||
The SCF was calculated by applying linear scaling between the thermal peak stresses from a 3-D finite element model versus the reported thermal peak stresses in the OSR. | |||
Linear scaling was possible given the method used to calculate the thermal peak stresses (opeak)in the OSR. The method used was as follows: | |||
where Q is the secondary membrane plus bending stress through the vessel thickness in the region of the limiting compound fillet lower corner juncture. The finite element model geometry and thermal boundary conditions were made to be the same as those considered in the OSR. | |||
A heatup transient and 100% steady-state load case was analyzed using the same thermal boundary conditions and material properties as listed in the OSR. Therefore, the FEA and OSR secondary membrane plus bending stress through the vessel thickness in the region of the limiting compound fillet lower corner juncture will be essentially equivalent. Peak thermal stress in the axial, hoop, and radial directions was recorded and compared to the peak thermal stress (hoop and axial) provided in the OSR. The maximum thermal peak stress ratio was calculated for each time point in the heatup transient and the 100% steady-state load case. | |||

100% Steady-State [ ] [ 1 [ la" [ la" The SCF was calculated using the following equation: | |||
SCF = Peak Stress Ratio x [ ] "" | |||
A maximum SCF of [ ] a.C was calculated. The average of all the SCFs in the above table was calculated to be 1.46, but a slightly higher value of [ ] ""was used in the evaluation. The thermal peak stresses in the OSR were first divided by [ ] "." and then multiplied by the new [ ] SCF. The [ ] SCF was left on the pressure and external load stresses because the total stress was dominated by the thermal stress. | |||
Also, the [ 1 SCF calculated was only applicable for thermal loadings, not mechanical loadings. The pressure, thermal and external load stresses were all combined and new total stresses calculated for all transient times. The new total stresses were then evaluated for EPU conditions and the cumulative fatigue usage recalculated producing a final cumulative fatigue usage of 0.842. | |||

EMCB RAI 18 PBNP EPU LAR Section 2.2.2.5.7 predicts a pre-uprate and post-uprate tube wear values for the PBNP Unit 2 SG tubes for 40 years design life and states that: "This amount of wear will not significantly affect tube integrity and is judged to be acceptable. " Please indicate the amount of tube wear beyond which the tube structural integrity is considered to be affected and your technical basis for this judgment. In addition, provide the EPU evaluated tube wear for the PBNP Unit I SG tubes and the method of evaluation. | |||
NextEra Response For Unit 2, the post-uprate wear is calculated to be [ ] for the life of the plant. This represents [ ] a*C through-wall wear. Therefore, it is viewed to be acceptable since it is well below the Technical Specification limit of 40% through-wall, and the calculated structural limit is | |||
[ ] through-wall. The calculation for the structural limit is contained in LAR 261, , Section 2.1.9, Steam Generator Tube Inservice Inspection. | |||
While wear rates were not specifically calculated for Unit 1, a review of similar steam generator models to the Model 44F steam generators in Unit 1 show that the Unit 2 wear rate results are typical for similar steam generators. | |||
Based on eddy current testing, neither unit shows many tubes (less than 1%) that have demonstrated wear. Using a conservative uprate factor that modified the calculated wear rate for tubes left in service, it is demonstrated that tube integrity will still be maintained in both units until the next scheduled steam generator tube inspection. While the EPU can result in additional tubes exhibiting wear, the number is expected to be acceptable based on the current behavior of the steam generators. | |||
EMCB RA124 Please clarify whether the ratio values in Tables 2.2.2.7-2 and 2.2.2.7-3 are for EPU or CLTP and update these tables to show calculated and allowable values from both CLTP and EPU. | |||
Note I of Table 2.2.2.7-2 indicates that the pressurizer spray nozzle has failed to meet the ASME Section 111 NB-3222.2 primary plus secondary stress intensity requirement of 3Sm and has been qualified by the alternate rules of the simplified elastic-plastic analysis of sub-paragraph NB-3228.3, If this condition is for stress intensity calculated at EPU conditions, please provide a quantitative summary of the evaluation which shows that the special rules for exceeding 3Sm, as provided by (a) through (0 of sub-paragraph NB-3228.3 have been met. In the requested summary, please show calculated and allowable values and not just ratios, as currently included in the above-mentioned tables. | |||
Page 4 of 12 | |||
NextEra Response The ratio values in Table 2.2.2.7-2 are for current licensed thermal power (CLTP). The EPU did not change the maximum ranges of stress intensity for the pressurizer components. | |||
Table 2.2.2.7-2 is replaced with the following: | |||

(1) Quantity shown is the stress intensity range with thermal bending removed. The range of primary plus secondary stress intensity exceeded the 3S, limit, but this is permitted, provided the rules of NB-3228.3 of the ASME Code are met. Those requirements have been satisfied for this component. | |||
The spray nozzle exceeded the 3Sm limit in the original evaluation. This was not changed by the EPU. The NB-3228.3 requirements were satisfied in the original stress report. | |||
For Table 2.2.2.7-3, the values in the table are for CLTP. They did not change for EPU and are applicable for EPU. | |||
The stress allowable for the pressurizer support anchor bolts is 4.5 ksi and the calculated stress value is [ ] b8C ksi. | |||
Page 5 of 12 | |||
EMCB RAI 26 For the RPV internals, as shown in LR Table 2.2.3-3, that exceed the NB-3222.2 primary plus secondary stress intensity requirement of 3Sm at EPU conditions, please provide a quantitative summary of the evaluation which shows that the 3Sm code limit is met when excluding thermal bending stresses and that the remainder of NB-3228.3 requirements (b) through (0 have also been satisfied. | |||
NextEra Response The components that exceed the NG-3222.2 primary plus secondary stress intensity requirement of 3Sm at EPU conditions from LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.3-3 are: | |||
- Upper Core Plate Alignment Pins | |||
- Core Barrel Assembly Upper Girth Weld (UGW) | |||
- Core Barrel Assembly Lower Girth Weld (LGW) | |||
- Lower Radial Restraints - Key Weld A quantitative summary of these component evaluations are discussed below. | |||

(Note that the maximum range for mechanical plus thermal stresses c 3Sm; therefore, no elastic-plastic fatigue analysis is required) | |||
Following the maximum transient combinations, the fatigue usage factors are calculated below. | |||
Because these welds are not full-penetration, inspectable welds, a weld quality factor of 4.0 is used per ASME Code. | |||
: 1. OBE + UU2 + UD2 The corresponding allowable cycles from ASME Code fatigue curve 1-9.2-1 are n=[ la" cycles, and the applied number of cycles N = 400. Thus, Page 6 of 12 | |||
The corresponding allowable cycles from ASME Code fatigue curve 1-9.2-1 are n=[ 1"" cycles, and the applied number of cycles N = 280. Thus, The corresponding allowable cycles from ASME Code fatigue curve 1-9.2-1 are n=[ ] a.C cycles, and the applied number of cycles N = 20,700. Thus, Total fatigue usage factor becomes U = C Ui = [ " ] a.C < I .O | |||

The stress differences are as follows: | |||
Stress Intensity SI = [ ] a*c > 3Sm = 49,200 psi Since the 3Sm limit is not satisfied, a simplified elastic-plastic analysis for fatigue must be performed in accordance with Subsection NG-3228.3 of the ASME Code, provided that the requirements of (a) through (f) below are met: | |||
(c) The stress differences are as follows (without thermal): | |||

Lower Radial Restraints Key Weld For the Lower Radial Restraints - Key weld, a revision to the stress calculations was performed for EPU conditions subsequent to submittal of LAR 261. The calculation revision indicates that the "After EPU" stress intensity no longer exceeds the 3Sm allowable with a 0.7 weld quality factor for primary-plus-secondarystress intensity, as required by NB-3222.2. By copy of this request for additional information (RAI) response, the values for the Lower Radial Restraints - Key Weld "After EPU" and allowable stress intensities presented in Table 2.2.3-3 of to LAR 261 are replaced with the following: | |||
After EPU Stress Intensity (Pm + Pb + Q) = [ ] a'C ksi Allowable Stress Intensity (3Sm)*(0.7) = 35.6 ksi Conclusion Based on the quantitative information provided above, these components are within the allowable limits of Subsection NG of the 1998 Edition of the ASME Code Section Ill, Division I, including 2000 Addenda and, therefore, are acceptable. | |||

NOTES: | |||
( I ) The Design Margin is based on the ratio of EPU stress divided by the Allowable stress. | |||
(2) The Equation Numbers shown correspond to ASME Section Ill, NCIND-3650 equation numbers. | |||
(3) With respect to piping analyses containing stress interaction ratio greater than 0.90 for EPU conditions, it should be noted that the existing stress interaction ratio (for the same loading condition) for all these piping analyses, with the single exception of U l Main Steam Piping Inside Containment Loop A, are currently greater than 0.90. For example, the U2 Main Steam Piping Inside Containment Loop A, Equation 9C, has a reported stress interaction ratio of 0.95 based on the ratio of 29,984 (EPU stress) divided by 31,500 (allowable stress). The existing stress interaction ratio for this piping is 0.92 based on the ratio of 29,046 (current stress) divided by 31,500 (allowable stress). Hence, for this piping system, the actual stress increase resulting from EPU is insignificant. Additionally, all stress levels resulting in stress interaction ratio less than or equal to 1.0 are acceptable limits in accordance with USAS B31.Icode of record. The allowable stress levels for the USAS B31.Icode are stress levels that are well below material ultimate stress limits. | |||

Table 7-8.10, Note 1: | |||
It should be noted that the maximum "weight + thermal" Fx load for Thermal Cases 3 and 5 is I307 Ibs, which is greater than the indicated Fx allowable of 806 Ibs. | |||
However, the corresponding "weight + thermal" Case 3 and 5 Fy and Fz loads, and Mx, My and Mz moments are significantly less than the indicated allowables. Also, the My and Mz loads are the governing loads with respect to the static evaluations for determining coupling misalignment acceptability. As such, these two thermal Fx loading conditions (i.e., Thermal Cases 3 and 5) are acceptable. | |||

ENCLOSURE 2 NEXTERA ENERGY POINT BEACH, LLC POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST 261 EXTENDED POWER UPRATE NON-PROPRIETARY RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The NRC staff determined that additional information was required (Reference 1) to enable the Mechanical and Civil Engineering Branch to complete its review of License Amendment Request (LAR) 261, Extended Power Uprate (EPU) (Reference 2). The following information is provided by NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) in response to the NRC staff's request.
Introduction By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated April 2, 2009 (Agencywide Document and Management System Accession No. ML091250564), the licensee of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2, NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, submitted a license amendment request (LAR), pursuant to the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 50.90, "Application for Amendment of License or Construction Permit." The LAR proposes to increase the power level of the current Renewed Operating License (OL) to 1,800 megawatts thermal (MWt), approximately 17% above the current licensed thermal power (CLTP) of 1,540 MWt and approximately 18.5% above the Original Licensed Thermal Power (OLTP) of 1,518.5 MWt.
The Mechanical & Civil Engineering Branch staff has reviewed the LAR licensing report (LR) for power uprate. The staff has identified that additional information is needed to complete the review, The staff's request for additional information (RAI) is attached. This request does not include items related to safety-related valves and pumps since review of these components is performed by the Component Integrity, Performance and Testing Branch. Please note that EMCB RAls related to LR Section 2.2. I , "Pipe Rupture Locations and Associated Dynamic Effects" and Section 2.2.5, "Seismic and Dynamic Qualification of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment", if required, will be submitted via a separate memorandum.
Page 1 of 12
Requests for Additional Information EMCB RAI 14 For the vessel support, LR Table 2.2.2.3-3 shows fatigue CUF of 0.995 for CLTP to 60 year plant renewed life and 10.8421for post-EPU.
a) Clarify whether the EPU CUF value of 0.842 is applicable for the 60 year plant renewed life?
Note 2 of Table 2.2.2.3-3 states that: "Number 0.842 was calculated using a stress concentration factor (SCF) of 1.5 applied to thermal stresses, as determined from a finite element analysis. The pre-EPU cumulative fatigue usage factor 0.995 applied on overly conservative SCF of 3.27 to the thermal stresses."
b) Please provide a description which clearly shows how these stress concentration factors have been developed and the geometry that they apply to.
NextEra Response a) The EPU CUF value of 0.842 for the external support brackets is applicable for the 60 year plant renewed life.
Note 2 of Table 2.2.2.3-3 states that: "Number 0.842 was calculated using a stress concentration factor (SCF) of [ ] applied to thermal stresses, as determined from a finite element analysis. The pre-EPU cumulative fatigue usage factor 0.995 applied an overly conservative SCF of [ ] to the thermal stresses."
b) The original stress report (OSR) used SCFs from Figure A.7-1 of U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Technical Services report PB-I 51-987, "Tentative Structural Design Basis for Reactor Pressure Vessels and Directly Associated Components." This document was a pre-cursor to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Code. The [ ] SCF was taken directly from the figure and pertains to fillets on a stepped bar subject to tensile loading.
In the OSR, the [ ] a" SCF was used to calculate peak stresses at the 1.I25 inch fillet juncture at the bottom of the external support bracket and the vessel shell. It was also used to calculate the peak stresses at the compound fillet lower corner junctures of the external support bracket and the vessel shell. The compound fillet lower corner junctures resulted from blending the 1.I25 inch fillet and the 2 inch fillet between the sides of the external support bracket bottom plate and the vessel shell. The limiting location for fatigue in the OSR was at one of the compound fillet lower corner junctures.
Therefore, the new SCF developed, as described below, was applicable to the same limiting compound fillet lower corner juncture.
Page 2 of 12
The SCF was calculated by applying linear scaling between the thermal peak stresses from a 3-D finite element model versus the reported thermal peak stresses in the OSR.
Linear scaling was possible given the method used to calculate the thermal peak stresses (opeak)in the OSR. The method used was as follows:
where Q is the secondary membrane plus bending stress through the vessel thickness in the region of the limiting compound fillet lower corner juncture. The finite element model geometry and thermal boundary conditions were made to be the same as those considered in the OSR.
A heatup transient and 100% steady-state load case was analyzed using the same thermal boundary conditions and material properties as listed in the OSR. Therefore, the FEA and OSR secondary membrane plus bending stress through the vessel thickness in the region of the limiting compound fillet lower corner juncture will be essentially equivalent. Peak thermal stress in the axial, hoop, and radial directions was recorded and compared to the peak thermal stress (hoop and axial) provided in the OSR. The maximum thermal peak stress ratio was calculated for each time point in the heatup transient and the 100% steady-state load case.

100% Steady-State [ ] [ 1 [ la" [ la" The SCF was calculated using the following equation:
SCF = Peak Stress Ratio x [ ] ""
A maximum SCF of [ ] a.C was calculated. The average of all the SCFs in the above table was calculated to be 1.46, but a slightly higher value of [ ] ""was used in the evaluation. The thermal peak stresses in the OSR were first divided by [ ] "." and then multiplied by the new [ ] SCF. The [ ] SCF was left on the pressure and external load stresses because the total stress was dominated by the thermal stress.
Also, the [ 1 SCF calculated was only applicable for thermal loadings, not mechanical loadings. The pressure, thermal and external load stresses were all combined and new total stresses calculated for all transient times. The new total stresses were then evaluated for EPU conditions and the cumulative fatigue usage recalculated producing a final cumulative fatigue usage of 0.842.

EMCB RAI 18 PBNP EPU LAR Section 2.2.2.5.7 predicts a pre-uprate and post-uprate tube wear values for the PBNP Unit 2 SG tubes for 40 years design life and states that: "This amount of wear will not significantly affect tube integrity and is judged to be acceptable. " Please indicate the amount of tube wear beyond which the tube structural integrity is considered to be affected and your technical basis for this judgment. In addition, provide the EPU evaluated tube wear for the PBNP Unit I SG tubes and the method of evaluation.
NextEra Response For Unit 2, the post-uprate wear is calculated to be [ ] for the life of the plant. This represents [ ] a*C through-wall wear. Therefore, it is viewed to be acceptable since it is well below the Technical Specification limit of 40% through-wall, and the calculated structural limit is
[ ] through-wall. The calculation for the structural limit is contained in LAR 261, , Section 2.1.9, Steam Generator Tube Inservice Inspection.
While wear rates were not specifically calculated for Unit 1, a review of similar steam generator models to the Model 44F steam generators in Unit 1 show that the Unit 2 wear rate results are typical for similar steam generators.
Based on eddy current testing, neither unit shows many tubes (less than 1%) that have demonstrated wear. Using a conservative uprate factor that modified the calculated wear rate for tubes left in service, it is demonstrated that tube integrity will still be maintained in both units until the next scheduled steam generator tube inspection. While the EPU can result in additional tubes exhibiting wear, the number is expected to be acceptable based on the current behavior of the steam generators.
EMCB RA124 Please clarify whether the ratio values in Tables 2.2.2.7-2 and 2.2.2.7-3 are for EPU or CLTP and update these tables to show calculated and allowable values from both CLTP and EPU.
Note I of Table 2.2.2.7-2 indicates that the pressurizer spray nozzle has failed to meet the ASME Section 111 NB-3222.2 primary plus secondary stress intensity requirement of 3Sm and has been qualified by the alternate rules of the simplified elastic-plastic analysis of sub-paragraph NB-3228.3, If this condition is for stress intensity calculated at EPU conditions, please provide a quantitative summary of the evaluation which shows that the special rules for exceeding 3Sm, as provided by (a) through (0 of sub-paragraph NB-3228.3 have been met. In the requested summary, please show calculated and allowable values and not just ratios, as currently included in the above-mentioned tables.
Page 4 of 12
NextEra Response The ratio values in Table 2.2.2.7-2 are for current licensed thermal power (CLTP). The EPU did not change the maximum ranges of stress intensity for the pressurizer components.
Table 2.2.2.7-2 is replaced with the following:

(1) Quantity shown is the stress intensity range with thermal bending removed. The range of primary plus secondary stress intensity exceeded the 3S, limit, but this is permitted, provided the rules of NB-3228.3 of the ASME Code are met. Those requirements have been satisfied for this component.
The spray nozzle exceeded the 3Sm limit in the original evaluation. This was not changed by the EPU. The NB-3228.3 requirements were satisfied in the original stress report.
For Table 2.2.2.7-3, the values in the table are for CLTP. They did not change for EPU and are applicable for EPU.
The stress allowable for the pressurizer support anchor bolts is 4.5 ksi and the calculated stress value is [ ] b8C ksi.

EMCB RAI 26 For the RPV internals, as shown in LR Table 2.2.3-3, that exceed the NB-3222.2 primary plus secondary stress intensity requirement of 3Sm at EPU conditions, please provide a quantitative summary of the evaluation which shows that the 3Sm code limit is met when excluding thermal bending stresses and that the remainder of NB-3228.3 requirements (b) through (0 have also been satisfied.
NextEra Response The components that exceed the NG-3222.2 primary plus secondary stress intensity requirement of 3Sm at EPU conditions from LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.3-3 are:
- Upper Core Plate Alignment Pins
- Core Barrel Assembly Upper Girth Weld (UGW)
- Core Barrel Assembly Lower Girth Weld (LGW)
- Lower Radial Restraints - Key Weld A quantitative summary of these component evaluations are discussed below.

(Note that the maximum range for mechanical plus thermal stresses c 3Sm; therefore, no elastic-plastic fatigue analysis is required)
Following the maximum transient combinations, the fatigue usage factors are calculated below.
Because these welds are not full-penetration, inspectable welds, a weld quality factor of 4.0 is used per ASME Code.
- 1. OBE + UU2 + UD2 The corresponding allowable cycles from ASME Code fatigue curve 1-9.2-1 are n=[ la" cycles, and the applied number of cycles N = 400. Thus, Page 6 of 12
The corresponding allowable cycles from ASME Code fatigue curve 1-9.2-1 are n=[ 1"" cycles, and the applied number of cycles N = 280. Thus, The corresponding allowable cycles from ASME Code fatigue curve 1-9.2-1 are n=[ ] a.C cycles, and the applied number of cycles N = 20,700. Thus, Total fatigue usage factor becomes U = C Ui = [ " ] a.C < I .O

The stress differences are as follows:
Stress Intensity SI = [ ] a*c > 3Sm = 49,200 psi Since the 3Sm limit is not satisfied, a simplified elastic-plastic analysis for fatigue must be performed in accordance with Subsection NG-3228.3 of the ASME Code, provided that the requirements of (a) through (f) below are met:
(c) The stress differences are as follows (without thermal):
Stress Intensity SI = [ la"< 3Sm = 49,200 psi (without thermal)
(d) The value of Sa are multiplied by the factor Ke Ke = 1.0 + ( I -n)/n(m-I ) ((Sn13Sm) -1 ), for 3Sm < Sn < 3*m*Sm For austenitic steel:
n=[ la,";
m = [ lakc; 3Sm = 49,200 psi; with Sn = [ 1 a,C Therefore, Then, the alternating stress, with a weld quality factor of 1.0 according to ASME Code, is as follows:
Salt = [ Ia,c (Sij)
Salt = [ Ia*c
From Figure 1-9.2.1 of the ASME Code, the number of allowable cycles corresponding to:
Salt = [ Ia,c N=[ ] cycles Consider only 400 OBE cycles, -+U l = [ lave Without seismic, the maximum stress range or stress intensity becomes:
Then, Salt = [
(c) Stays the same and the procedure of NG-3227.6 is not required.

Lower Radial Restraints Key Weld For the Lower Radial Restraints - Key weld, a revision to the stress calculations was performed for EPU conditions subsequent to submittal of LAR 261. The calculation revision indicates that the "After EPU" stress intensity no longer exceeds the 3Sm allowable with a 0.7 weld quality factor for primary-plus-secondarystress intensity, as required by NB-3222.2. By copy of this request for additional information (RAI) response, the values for the Lower Radial Restraints - Key Weld "After EPU" and allowable stress intensities presented in Table 2.2.3-3 of to LAR 261 are replaced with the following:
After EPU Stress Intensity (Pm + Pb + Q) = [ ] a'C ksi Allowable Stress Intensity (3Sm)*(0.7) = 35.6 ksi Conclusion Based on the quantitative information provided above, these components are within the allowable limits of Subsection NG of the 1998 Edition of the ASME Code Section Ill, Division I, including 2000 Addenda and, therefore, are acceptable.

(1) I am Manager, Regulatory Compliance & Plant Licensing, in Nuclear Services, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse), and as such, I have been specifically delegated the hnction of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rule making proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of Westinghouse.
(2) I am making this Aff~davitin conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations and in conjunction with the Westinghouse Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure accompanying this Afidavit.
(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
(4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the infomztion sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
(i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse.
(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public. Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utiIizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence. The application of that system and the substance of that system constitutes Westinghouse policy and provides the rational basis required.
Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:
(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.
(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.
(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer hnded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.
(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.
There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include the following:
(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse competitive position.
(b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.
(c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.
(d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. If competitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one component
4 CAW- 10-2922 may be the l e y to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage.
(e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence of Westinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition of those countries.
(f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.
(iii) The infonnation is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Co~mnission.
(iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available infonnation has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.
(v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in WEP-10-93 P-Attachment, "Point Beach Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 -Response to the Request for Additional Infonnation from Civil and Mechanical Engineering Branch Related to License Amendment Request No. 261 Extended Power Uprate (EPU) (TAC Nos. ME 1044 and ME 1045)," (Proprietary) dated September 2010, for submittal'to the Comnission, being transmitted by NextEra Energy Point Beach LLC letter and Application for Withholding Proprietary Infonnation from Public Disclosure, to the Document Control Desk. The proprietary information as submitted for use by Westinghouse for Point Beach Units I and 2 is expected to be applicable for other licensee submittals in response to certain NRC requirements for Extended Power Uprate submittals.
This information is part of that which will enable Westinghouse to:
(a) Provide input to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for review of the Point Beach EPU submittals.
CAW- 10-2922 (b) Provide results of customer specific calculations.
(c) Provide licensing support for customer submittals.
Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows:
(a) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of similar information to its customers for purposes of meeting NRC requirements for licensing documentation associated with EPU submittals.
(b) Westinghouse can sell support and defense of the technology to its customer in the licensing process.
(c) The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspects of a methodology which was developed by Westinghouse.
Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar information and Iicensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money.
In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be expended.
Further the deponent sayeth not.

ENCLOSURE 4 NEXTERA ENERGY POINT BEACH, LLC POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS I AND 2 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST 261 EXTENDED POWER UPRATE RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The NRC staff determined that additional information was required (Reference 1 ) to enable the Mechanical and Civil Engineering Branch to complete its review of License Amendment Request (LAR) 261, Extended Power Uprate (EPU) (Reference 2). The following information is provided by NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) in response to the NRC staff's request.
Introduction By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated April 2, 2009 (Agencywide Document and Management System Accession No. ML091250564), the licensee of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units I and 2, NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, submitted a license amendment request (LAR), pursuant to the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 50.90, "Application for Amendment of License or Construction Permit." The LAR proposes to increase the power level of the current Renewed Operating License (OL) to 1,800 megawatts thermal (MWt), approximately 17% above the current licensed thermal power (CLTP) of 1,540 MWt and approximately 18.5% above the Original Licensed Thermal Power (OLTP) of 1,518.5 MWt.
The Mechanical & Civil Engineering Branch staff has reviewed the LAR licensing report (LR) for power uprate. The staff has identified that additional information is needed to complete the review. The staff's request for additional information (RAI) is attached. This request does not include items related to safety-related valves and pumps since review of these components is performed by the Component Integrity, Performance and Testing Branch. Please note that EMCB RAls related to LR Section 2.2. I, "Pipe Rupture Locations and Associated Dynamic Effects" and Section 2.2.5, "Seismic and Dynamic Qualification of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment': if required, will be submitted via a separate memorandum.

Requests for Additional Information EMCB RAI I It is noted that the PBNP EPU licensing report (LR) specifies that the plant design basis code of record for BOP piping analysis is the USAS B31.I Power Piping Code, 1967 Edition. Please verify and/or identify the code utilized in qualifying nuclear steam supply systems (NSSS) and balance of plant (BOP) piping and pipe supports for EPU conditions. I f different from the plant design basis code of record, providejustification and confirm that the calculated values for piping and supports utilized the original code of construction allowable values.
NextEra Response Balance of Plant (BOP) Piping and Supports The EPU evaluations for balance of plant (BOP) piping systems were evaluated to the USA Standard (USAS) B31.IPower Piping Code, 1967 Edition, which is the original code of record for BOP piping systems.
The original code of record for the evaluation of BOP pipe supports is American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Manual of Steel Construction, Sixth Edition. Updated revisions to this code can be used provided the requirements and intent stipulated in the original codes of record have been satisfied. The EPU evaluations for BOP pipe supports were evaluated using the AISC code, Sixth Edition, including updated revisions through the Ninth Edition. In the above cases, the requirements and intent stipulated in the alter codes of record have been satisfied.
NSSS (RCS) Piping and Surqe Line Thermal Stratification For the NSSS piping (reactor coolant system (RCS) piping), the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Table 4.1-9 states that the code requirement is the USAS B31.IPower Piping Code and that the version of the Code which was in effect at the time the original component was ordered is applicable. Other sections of the PBNP FSAR (e.g.,
Section 4.2, page 4.2-14) state that the piping and fittings are designed to the B31.1, 1955 Edition. Based on the review of the existing plant design basis analysis of record (AOR) evaluations and qualifications performed for the steam generator replacement program and fuel upgrade program, NextEra concluded that the American National Standards lnstitute (ANSI)
Code for Pressure Piping, B31.I, 1973 Edition was utilized as the code of record. This is considered acceptable because the equations presented in the I955 version of the code are identical to the equations presented in the 1973 version of the code. Also, per the note in ANSl B31.I, 1973 Edition, the B31.I, 1967 Edition through 831.I, 1972 Edition, have been revised and consolidated into one publication and re-designated B31.I, 1973 Edition. The PBNP NSSS piping evaluations and qualifications for EPU conditions also utilized the ANSl Code for Pressure Piping B31.I, 1973 Edition, as was used in the existing plant design basis AOR.
Therefore, the code of record allowable values used in the existing plant design basis AOR are used for the EPU evaluation.
For the pressurizer surge line, considering only the effects of thermal stratification, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, 1986 Edition used is in compliance with NRC Bulletin No. 88-11 (Reference 3) and as documented in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.1.2, Input Parameters, Assumptions, and Acceptance Criteria. Reference (3)
Page 2 of 41
fatigue analysis should be performed in accordance with the latest ASME Code, Section Ill requirements incorporating high cycle fatigue. The original code of record for the pressurizer surge line thermal stratification is the ASME Code, Section Ill, 1986 Edition. For the current licensing basis at PBNP and for EPU conditions, the evaluation of the pressurizer surge line, considering only the effects of thermal stratification, was performed and found to be in compliance with both the NRC Bulletin 88-11 and the original code of record.
RCS Supports (Except Reactor Vessel Supports)
The original code of construction for RCS supports (steam generator (SG), reactor coolant pump (RCP) and pressurizer) was AISC, Sixth Edition. Updated revisions to this code can be used provided the requirements and intent stipulated in the later codes of record have been satisfied.
The existing plant design basis AOR evaluation for PBNP, NSSS supports (SG, RCP and pressurizer) performed during the 1995 and 2001 timeframe (including the RSG program) utilized the AISC, Eighth Edition and ASME Code, Section Ill, Subsection NF, 1974 Edition as the code of record. The allowable values for AISC, Sixth Edition and the allowable values for AISC, Eighth Edition are comparable. Also, the allowable values for AISC, Eighth Edition and the ASME Code, Section Ill, Subsection NF, 1974 Edition are comparable. Therefore, the current code of record used in the existing plant design basis AOR is used for the EPU evaluations. In the above cases, the requirements and intent stipulated in the later codes of record have been satisfied.
EMCB RAI 2 Confirm that the reactor coolant system (RCS) piping and supports, componentsJprimary equipment nozzles and supporfs, associatedreactor coolant loop (RCL) branch piping and supports, did not experience an increase in stresses due to the EPU because the existing analysis contains loads which envelop the loads at EPU conditions.
NextEra Response While the existing analyses remained bounding for some discrete components and supports, several components and supports required re-analyses due to increased or previously unanalyzed loads. The following response discuses each of the groupings of piping, supports, components, and primary equipment, to describe which remained bounded, and those that required new analyses.
For the determination of stresses, the inputs to be considered are loads due to primary system operating pressure, seismic excitation, deadweight, plant operating temperatures and loss of coolant accident (LOCA) forces. Primary system operating pressure does not change, and seismic and deadweight loads are not expected to change under EPU conditions.
However, the PBNP reactor vessel support stiffness was modified which changed the seismic loads. Please refer to the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 16 for further discussion of the revised reactor vessel support modeling. The revised seismic loads were included as part of the various component EPU evaluations as noted in the component responses below.
Plant operating temperatures changed for the EPU (lower Tcold,higher That), resulting in a change to the thermal inputs to the component, piping and support evaluations. The plant Page 3 of 41
operating temperature changes also revised the loadings associated with the design transients listed in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.6-1. These revised loadings are included in the component EPU evaluations and noted below. Plant operating temperature changes affected the LOCA forces, and the corresponding component and piping LOCA loads and motions for the EPU. The impacts of these changes are discussed below.
NSSS (RCS) Pipinq The RCS piping pressure loads, deadweight loads, and seismic excitation did not change from the existing design basis AOR.
The following affected loads were re-evaluated:
e Thermal loads due to changed plant operating temperatures (lower Tc0ldand higher That) e RCS piping LOCA forces due to changed operating temperatures e Reactor pressure vessel (RPV) LOCA forces due to changed operating temperatures 0 RPV LOCA displacement due to corrected support structure stiffness The PBNP design transients (LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.6-1) pertain to fatigue design.
The RCS piping is designed to USAS B31.I, which does not require fatigue analysis and is therefore unaffected by the changes in design transients.
The revised RCS loop piping analyses demonstrated that the stresses will remain enveloped by the previous analyses results as indicated in the note to Table 2.2.2.1-1 of LAR 261, .
Pressurizer Surge Line (Including Thermal Stratification)
The pressure loads, deadweight loads, and seismic excitation inputs from the design basis AOR were unaffected.
The operating thermal and thermal stratification loadings will change under EPU due to operating temperature and design transient inputs. These changes required an evaluation of the surge line stresses.
The evaluation of the surge line demonstrated that the stresses will remain enveloped by the previous analyses results and will remain within the acceptance criteria used in the previous analyses under EPU conditions.
RCS Branch Pipinq Reactor coolant loop (RCL) branch piping evaluations which reconciled revised RCL displacements for EPU conditions concluded that existing design basis RCL branch piping analyses remain acceptable for EPU conditions (i.e., no change to stresses due to EPU).
Reactor Vessel For the EPU, revised plant operating temperatures, design transients and interface loads with the reactor vessel were evaluated. Changes to the plant operating temperatures and design transients affected the transient thermal and pressure loadings on the various reactor vessel Page 4 of 41
components. Transient thermal and pressure loading changes affect the reactor vessel component primary plus secondary stress intensity ranges and cumulative fatigue usage factors. The EPU transient thermal and pressure loading changes were evaluated for each reactor vessel component and the resulting primary plus secondary stress intensity ranges and cumulative fatigue usage factors were shown to be acceptable as listed in LAR 261, , Table 2.2.2.3-3.
The interface loads evaluated were those associated with the reactor internals, reactor coolant loop piping, vessel supports and safety injection system piping.
B Reactor internals interface loads consist of seismic and LOCA loads which both changed for the EPU as explained in the overall introductory paragraph to this RAI response. As shown in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.2.3-4, the EPU reactor internals interface loads with the reactor vessel were bounded by the allowable loads evaluated in the existing AOR.
a RCL piping interface loads consist of deadweight, thermal, seismic and LOCA loads acting on the reactor vessel inlet and outlet nozzles. Only the RCL piping thermal and LOCA interface loads changed for the EPU conditions. The thermal and LOCA interface loads were shown to be bounded by those evaluated in the AOR. Even though RCL piping seismic interface loads did not change for EPU conditions, an existing outlet nozzle safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) axial load was found to be larger than that qualified in the AOR. The increased stress due to this load was considered in the outlet nozzle faulted primary stress evaluation and shown to be acceptable.
e Vessel support interface loads, similar to the reactor internals interface loads, consist of seismic and LOCA loads which also changed for the EPU as explained in the overall introductory paragraph to this RAI response. The EPU operating basis and design basis earthquake vertical loads on the external support brackets were larger than those qualified in the AOR. However, the increased loads were factored into all external support bracket primary, primary plus secondary and fatigue EPU evaluations and shown to be acceptable.
e Safety injection system piping interface loads, similar to the RCL piping interface loads, consist of deadweight, thermal, seismic and LOCA loads acting on the safety injection nozzles. These loads were not previously evaluated in the AOR and only the LOCA loads changed for EPU conditions. All the loads were incorporated into the safety injection nozzle primary, primary plus secondary stress intensity range and cumulative fatigue usage factor evaluations and shown to be acceptable.
CRDMs The CRDMs do not experience an increase in stresses due to the EPU because the existing analysis contains loads that envelope the loads at EPU conditions.
Steam Generator The dynamic loading on the steam generator is unchanged or is enveloped by the original design basis. However, there are some changes to the component stresses due to thermal and secondary side pressure changes in the steam generators as a result of EPU conditions.
Page 5 of 41
These changes were conservatively evaluated through comparative analyses that will increase the design basis stresses in accordance with pressure and temperature changes resulting from the uprate. These changes were evaluated and compared to the Code allowable and have been shown in Tables 2.2.2.5-1 and 2.2.2.5-2 of LAR 261, Attachment 5 to meet Code allowables in accordance with the original design basis.
RCPs The EPU caused no changes to the stresses in the main flange and main flange bolted joint and the analysis of record remains bounding.
However, existing analysis for the RCP casing does not envelope EPU conditions, Increases for the EPU conditions due to the primary plus secondary pressure and mechanical loads, and the maximum steady-state thermal plus pressure and mechanical stresses, are shown in Table 2.2.2.6-1 of LAR 261, Attachment 5. These stresses were increased by 3.23% due to a difference in the heatup/cooldown temperature range between the design specification and the Model 93 casing stress analysis. The increased stresses remain below allowable limits, per the ASME Code, 1965 Edition.
Pressurizer The revised transients have no effect on the primary stress evaluations performed previously for the pressurizer. The maximum ranges of primary plus secondary stress intensities remain unchanged for the pressurizer components at EPU conditions.
RV lnternals The existing AOR for the reactor internal components contained loads which enveloped or remained the same for some components and were increased in other components due to EPU conditions. In cases where the loads/stresses were increased due to EPU conditions, calculations were performed which reduced conservatisms (i.e., plant-specific NSSS design transients and plant-specific OBE loads instead of generic two-loop enveloped inputs) and to show that those components meet the ASME Code allowable stress limits and corresponding fatigue usage remains less than 1.O.
RCS Supports (Except Reactor Vessel Supports)
The deadweight and seismic loads on the RCS equipment supports (SG, RCP, and pressurizer) will not change due to EPU. The thermal and LOCA loads will change due to the changes in plant operating temperature and reactor vessel support stiffness. The revised support analyses for EPU conditions demonstrate that the RCS supports will remain within established allowable stress limits. The design transients described in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.6, are not a factor in the analysis of RCS component supports.
RPV Supports See the NextEra response to Part a) of EMCB RAI 16.

EMCB RAI 3 Confirm that the current licensing basis at PBNP does not contain any requirements for fatigue evaluation of the above-mentioned systems, structures, and components (SSCs).
NextEra Response For PBNP, the current licensing basis does not contain any requirements for fatigue evaluation for BOP systems.
There are fatigue requirements for reactor coolant system components as discussed below.
Results of the fatigue evaluations for these components as a result of the EPU are provided in the tables from LAR 261, Attachment 5 referenced below.
NSSS (RCS) Piping and Surge Line Thermal Stratification Per Table 4.1-9 of the PBNP FSAR and the existing design basis AOR, the code requirement of the NSSS (RCS) piping is based on the USAS B31.I, 1973 Edition, Code for Pressure Piping, which does not require a fatigue evaluation.
For the pressurizer surge line, considering only the effects of thermal stratification, the current licensing basis at PBNP includes a fatigue evaluation to address NRC Bulletin 88-11 (Reference 3). The code edition used is in compliance with the pressurizer surge line thermal stratification NRC Bulletin Number 88-11 and as documented in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.1.2. For the current licensing basis at PBNP and for EPU conditions, the evaluation of the pressurizer surge line, considering only the effects of thermal stratification, are in compliance with NRC Bulletin 88-1 1, and is performed to the 1986 version of the ASME code.
RCS Branch Pipinq PBNP RCS branch piping evaluations are performed in accordance with the ASA B31.ICode for Pressure Piping, 1955 Edition.
This code does not contain any requirements for fatigue evaluation for piping qualification.
Reactor Vessel The current PBNP licensing basis for the Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor vessels contains the following ASME Code requirements:
Unit 1 - 1965 Edition of ASME Code, Section Ill for the reactor vessel Unit 1 - 1998 Edition through 2000 Addenda of ASME Code, Section Ill for the replacement reactor vessel closure head (RRVCH)
Unit 2 - 1968 Edition through Winter 1968 Addenda of ASME Code, Section Ill for the reactor vessel Unit 2 - 1998 Edition through 2000 Addenda of ASME Code, Section Ill for the RRVCH Page 7 of 41
These ASME code editions contain requirements for fatigue evaluation. For instance, in the 1965 and 1968 Editions of the ASME Code, the fatigue requirements are contained in sub-paragraph N-415.2. In the 1998 Edition of the ASME Code, the fatigue requirements are contained in sub-paragraph NB-3222.4(e). The Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor vessel fatigue results are listed in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.2.3-3 and are acceptable.
CRDMs The CRDM stress analysis is based on ASME Code Section Ill criteria. The CRDM meets these criteria including requirements for fatigue evaluation. Fatigue evaluations are required for the CRDMs and are shown to be acceptable in Table 2.2.2.4-1 and Table 2.2.2.4-2 of LAR 261, .
Steam Generator Fatigue evaluations are required for the steam generator per the ASME Codes delineated in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.5.1. Fatigue evaluations are shown to be acceptable in Table 2.2.2.5-1 for Unit 1 and Table 2.2.2.5-2 for Unit 2 of LAR 261, Attachment 5.
RCPs The reactor coolant pumps are included in the discussion of metal fatigue as it relates to meeting the intent of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Ill, Class I equipment. Original reactor coolant pump analyses for the Model 93 RCPs complied with this requirement by calculating cumulative fatigue usage factors for the casing (including the suction and discharge nozzles), the main flange, and the main flange bolted joint. RCP evaluations performed for the EPU concluded that the fatigue usage factor originally calculated remains valid under EPU conditions, as summarized in Table 2.2.2.6-1 of LAR 261, Attachment 5.
Fatigue crack growth in the RCP motor flywheel was previously evaluated for all operating domestic Westinghouse plants, and determined to be negligible over a 60 year life of the flywheel. Inputs considered in that evaluation envelop EPU conditions. Fatigue crack growth therefore remains negligible for EPU conditions.
Fatigue evaluations are required for the RCPs and are shown to be acceptable in Table 2.2.2.6-1 of LAR 261, Attachment 5.
Pressurizer Fatigue evaluations are required for the pressurizer and are shown to be acceptable in Table 2.2.2.7-1 of LAR 261, Attachment 5.
RV lnternals The original licensing basis for PBNP does not contain requirements for fatigue evaluation of the reactor vessel internals (RVI) components. RVI components were designed and manufactured prior to the availability of ASME Code Section Ill, Subsection NG, "Core Support Structures."
Fatigue evaluations were, therefore, neither required nor performed for all reactor internal components. However, RVI components were evaluated for fatigue, based on the intent of ASME Code Section Ill, Subsection NG. RVI components evaluated for fatigue were shown to be acceptable and are listed in Table 2.2.3-3 of LAR 261, Attachment 5.
Page 8 of 41
RCS Supports (Except Reactor Vessel Supports)
The original code of construction, the AISC Sixth Edition, Appendix B, required a fatigue evaluation at 20,000 stress reversal cycles. The AISC, Eighth Edition, has same requirements as the AISC, Sixth Edition. The design basis RCS supports (SG, RCP and pressurizer) loads do not approach this level of stress reversal cycles. Therefore, RCS supports do not require a fatigue evaluation for the EPU conditions.
RPV Supports The RPV supports are not evaluated for the effects of fatigue. Appendix B of the AISC "Specification for the Design, Fabrication and Erection of Structural Steel for Buildings," dated February 12, 1969, requires a fatigue evaluation at 20,000 stress reversal cycles. The design basis RPV support loads do not approach this level of stress reversal cycles.
EMCB RAI 4 Tables 1-1 and 1-2 provide the RCS operating temperatures and pressures for EPU and current licensed thermal power (CLTP). Table 2.5.5.1-1 provides main steam (MS) operating and design temperature and pressure. Table 2.5.5.4-1 provides feedwater (FW) operating temperature and pressure. For the CLTP and EPU, please provide both the FW and RCS design temperatures and pressures.

a) Identify all piping systems that would experience higher flow rates due to the EPU implementation.
b) Section 2.2.2.2.2.3 also states that "Additionally, the implementation of the EPU will result in higher flow rates for several piping systems. Piping systems experiencing these higher flow rates require review for potential flow induced vibration issues. " Please discuss how these reviews were conducted and provide a summary of their results.
c) Provide a clear description of the planned activities to address flow-induced vibration (FIV) on susceptible systems.
d) Describe the methodology and provide the acceptance criteria for the evaluation of FIV for these piping systems.
NextEra Response a) The implementation of EPU will result in higher flow rates that will impact the levels of flow induced piping vibration in BOP piping systems that comprise the main power cycle.
These piping systems include main steam, feedwater, condensate, extraction steam and heater drains (including heater vents and drains).
b) A plan has been developed for PBNP to address flow induced vibration in piping affected by power uprate. The plan began with the development of a program to address scope, method, evaluation and acceptance criteria. The scope includes the piping with increased flow rates resulting from EPU identified in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, Item a), above.
With respect to piping vibration, the ability to analytically predict potential flow induced piping vibration displacements and resulting stresses due to higher flow rates resulting from EPU is complex. It involves assessing many piping system attributes, such as plant piping configuration, valve alignment and support locations and functions that are being modified as a result of EPU. The more effective method of precluding piping failures due to flow induced vibration due to changes from EPU is the implementation of the Point Beach developed plan to extensively monitor actual piping response to actual plant conditions. This method and plan has been successfully implemented for Extended Power Uprates (EPUs), Stretch Power Uprates (SPUs) and Measurement Uncertainty Recapture (MURs) for several PWR nuclear plants including Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2, Seabrook, Ginna, North Anna Units 1 and 2, Millstone Unit 3 and Page 10 of 41
Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2. This method provides a more proactive and reliable means for addressing potential piping vibration issues.
The piping identified in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, ltem a), above, will be observed by experienced piping testing engineers at several different plant operating power levels to identify areas where piping vibration displacement is occurring. The initial sets of observations (pre-baseline, as defined in the PBNP piping vibration monitoring plan) will be at the pre-EPU full-power level and will establish the baseline pipe vibrations. Several pre-baseline piping vibration walkdowns have already been performed. Walkdowns performed in March 2008, August 2008, September 2008, November 2008 and December 2009 provided specific data on existing piping vibration levels at PBNP Unit 1 and Unit 2. The walkdowns performed in November 2008 and December 2009 included observations of piping vibration following the implementation of the modification for the replacement of the No. 4 and 5 feedwater heaters for Units 1 and 2. The piping vibration levels observed during these five pre-baseline walkdowns were at levels that, based upon extensive engineering experience, result in piping vibration stress levels below stress criteria provided in ASME OM SIG-2003, Part 3. No detailed analyses were required to support this conclusion. NextEra also determined that there was no requirement to implement any piping or support modifications prior to the EPU implementation outage, because there were no potential piping vibration issues identified. An additional pre-baseline walkdown for each unit will be performed prior to entering each EPU outage to identify any potential piping vibration issues that should be addressed during the outage. Observations for EPU will take place at the post-EPU power level test plateaus (from 20% to 100% power) established for power ascension testing. By comparing the observed pipe vibrationsldisplacements at various power levels with those observed at the pre-baseline power level, increased pipe vibrations will be identified and the need for additional evaluations will be determined. As stated above, the acceptance criteria for all piping evaluations will be in accordance with ASME OM SIG 2003, Part 3.
As stated in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, ltem b) above, observed piping vibrations will be evaluated to ensure that damage will not result. For PWRs where the critical EPU-affected piping is accessible, the activities planned to address and assess piping vibrations are to monitor the piping before the EPU outage and during the plant heat-up and power ascension for EPU. The affected piping to be observed includes the lines that are modified by EPU and the EPU-affected lines that were identified through the PBNP corrective action program. The methodology to be used for the monitoring and evaluation of the piping vibration will be in accordance with ASME OM-SIG-2003, Part 3.
d) As described in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, ltem b) above, the methodology is based on performing a series of walkdowns spanning from the current plant condition to the completion of power ascension testing following the implementation of power uprate. Acceptance criteria for all piping evaluations will be in accordance with ASME OM SIG-2003, Part 3.

EMCB RAI 6 This RAI is in reference to EPU-LR Section 2.12.1.2.3.4, Vibration Monitoring.
This section, in part, states that:
A Piping and Equipment Vibration Monitoring Program, including plant walkdowns and monitoring of plant equipment, will be established to ensure that steady state flow induced piping vibrations following EPU implementation are not detrimental to the plant, piping, pipe supports or connected equipment.
a) Has the development of this program been completed? If not, provide the schedule for completion.
In the same section, it is also stated that:
The program scope will also include any lines or equipment within the monitored systems that have been modified or otherwise identified through the PBNP action report system as having already experienced vibration issues.
b) Has this work been performed yet? If not, provide the schedule for completion.
EPU-LR Section 2.12.1.2.3.4 also states that:
Subsequent observations will take place at each EPU Test Plateau, as described in Section 2.12.1.2.3. I above. By comparing the observed pipe vibrations/displacements at various power levels with previously established acceptance Criteria, potentially adverse pipe vibrations will be identified, evaluated and resolved prior to failure.
c) Please list the acceptance criteria and supporting basis to be utilized for evaluating observed pipe vibrations and displacements at various EPU ascension power levels.
d) Have base line data at CLTP been gathered and have they been analyzed and projected to the EPU level to determine that at EPU power the allowable limits will not be exceeded? If yes, provide evaluation summaries which show that established acceptance criteria can be met for EPU conditions. If not, provide a justification why this work has not been performed yet.
NextEra Response a) The development of this program has been completed, and several plant vibration walkdowns in support of this program have been performed. Refer to the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, ltem b), for specific details related to this program.
b) Refer to the NextEra responses to EMCB RAI 5, ltems b) and c), and the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 6, ltem d) below, for details.
c) The acceptance criteria used for piping vibration is in accordance with ASME OM SIG-2003, Part 3. Refer to the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, ltems b), c) and d), and EMCB RAI 6, ltem d) below, for additional details on the supporting basis.
Page 12 of 41
d) As described in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, ltem b), plant walkdowns have been performed in March 2008, August 2008, September 2008, November 2008 and December 2009 to obtain baseline vibration data at the current license basis power level. The relatively low amplitude piping vibration displacement levels observed during these baseline plant walkdowns were determined by engineering experience to develop stresses in the piping that are within acceptable stress limits as defined in ASME OM SIG-2003, Part 3. These baseline walkdowns were also used to develop a list of the most critical points, which will be specifically observed during the EPU power ascension process in accordance with the piping vibration plan. No additional analysis was required to conclude expected piping vibration stress levels are below stress criteria provided in ASME OM SIG-2003, Part 3, as discussed in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 5, ltem b).
The ability to analytically predict potential flow induced piping vibration displacements and resulting stresses due to higher flow rates resulting from EPU is complex. It involves assessing many piping system attributes, such as plant piping configuration, valve alignment and support locations and functions which are being modified as a result of EPU. The more effective method of precluding piping failures due to flow induced vibration under EPU conditions is the implementation of the PBNP developed plan to extensively monitor actual piping response to actual plant conditions. This method and plan has been successfully implemented for Extended Power Uprates (EPUs), Stretch Power Uprates (SPUs) and Measurement Uncertainty Recapture (MURs) for several PWR nuclear plants including Beaver Valley Units Iand 2, Seabrook, Ginna, North Anna Units Iand 2, Millstone Unit 3 and Comanche Peak Units Iand 2. This method provides a more proactive and reliable means for addressing potential piping vibration issues.
EMCB RAI 7 Section 2.2.2.2.2 states that, "BOP piping and support systems were evaluated to assess the impact of operating .temperature, pressure and flow rate changes that will result due to the implementation of EPUJJ and contains a list of "BOP piping and support systems that were evaluated for EPU condition^.'^ The list follows this quoted statement. From this list, Table 2.2.2.2-1 of the LR indicates that only portions of the M, FW, condensate, extraction steam and FW heater drains have been evaluated.
a) Identify all systems (inside and outside containment) that experience increase in temperature, increase in pressure and an increase in flow rate.
b) For systems that experience increases in the above parameters, provide the method of your evaluation. Provide a quantitative summary of the maximum stresses and fatigue usage factors (if applicable) for original and EPU conditions with a comparison to the original code of consfruction allowable stress values. Include only maximum stresses and data at critical locations (i.e., nozzles, penetrations, etc). List all piping modifications (for pipe supports see (d) below) required due to EPU and the associated schedule for completion. For affected nozzles and containment penetrations, provide a summary of loads compared to specific allowable values for the nozzles and penetrations (include containment penetrations, steam generator (SG) and FW pump nozzles).
Page 13 of 41
c) For the systems with a thermal change factor greater than 1.00, provide a description of pre-operational measures taken to identilj locations that could potentially be subject to unacceptable thermal expansion interaction resulting in an unanalyzed plant condition that could potentially overstress piping and supports. In addition, confirm that a program will be in place for monitoring thermal expansion at the startup of the EPU. The EPUpower ascension program (see LR page 2.12-4) does not appear to contain such a provision. In addition, page 2.12-14 of the LR states that the "EPU power ascension program will be developed. " Please verify that this program has been developed.
d) For the systems in (b), state the method used for evaluating pipe supports when considering EPU conditions and confirm that the supports on the affected piping systems have been evaluated and shown to remain structurally adequate to perform their intended design function. Provide detail descriptions of all pipe support modifications needed to meet design basis at EPU conditions. In addition, list also type, size, loading (current and EPU) and location of supports that need to be modified and/or added due to the EPU.
e) Provide the schedule for completion of all piping and pipe support modifications and additions.
NextEra Response a) Portions of the following piping systems will experience an increase in temperature, pressure, and/or flow rate resulting from EPU. As such, detailed pipe stress and/or pipe support evaluations are required:
0 Main Steam 0 Condensate 0 Feedwater a Extraction Steam 0 Heater Drains With respect to pipe stress and support issues, no other piping systems contained temperature, pressure and/or flow rate increases that required detailed pipe stress and support evaluations. The auxiliary feedwater piping and supports have been addressed in separate requests for information (References 4 and 5).
b) The NUPIPE-SWPC computer program was used to evaluate piping systems which will experience an increase in temperature, pressure and/or flow rate, as described in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.2.2. The NUPIPE-SWPC program performs a linear-elastic analysis of piping systems subjected to thermal, static and dynamic loads and utilizes the finite element method of analysis to accommodate specific requirements in the piping analysis.
A summary of the maximum stress levels for current and EPU conditions, including a comparison to code of record allowable stress levels are provided in Attachment 1. For each piping system listed in this table, the stresses reported are at the most critical location of the piping system, corresponding to the piping location containing the highest stress interaction ratio. The stress interaction ratio is defined as the ratio of EPU stress divided by the allowable stress. These critical stress locations may be at equipment nozzles, containment penetrations, or any in-line piping component (e.g., valve, elbow, Page 14 of 41
reducer, etc.) within the analytical boundaries of the piping stress model. Attachment I does not contain any cumulative usage factors since fatigue evaluations for BOP piping are not required per the current piping code of record USAS B31.IPower Piping Code, 1967 Edition.
A summary of the piping modifications resulting from EPU modifications are provided in response to EMCB RAI 8.
With respect to pipe support modifications, specific details are provided in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 7, Item d), below.
A summary of EPU loads and allowable values for steam generator and feedwater pump nozzles and containment penetrations that were affected by EPU are as follows:
Feedwater P u m ~ s See Attachment 2 for feedwater pump nozzle load summaries.
Steam Generators See Attachment 3 for steam generator main steam nozzle load summaries.
See Attachment 4 for steam generator feedwater nozzle load summaries.
Containment Penetrations See Attachment 5 for containment penetration main steam load summaries, See Attachment 6 for containment penetration feedwater load summaries.
The stress values and load data provided in this response and referenced tables may change as result of final design and as-built conditions. The final results will remain within code allowable values and acceptance criteria.
c) During baseline walkdowns being performed for piping vibration, piping systems that will be subjected to a temperature increase associated with EPU (i.e., main steam, condensate, feedwater, extraction steam, and heater drains) will be inspected to identify locations where there is a potential for unacceptable thermal expansion interaction. The increases in thermal expansion displacements associated with EPU are expected to be less than 1/16 inch, and therefore, these increased displacements should not be a significant concern. However, during startup of the EPU, piping systems subjected to a temperature increase will be observed to identify any unacceptable conditions.
The planlprogram for monitoring thermal expansion during power ascension following the implementation of EPU will be included in the Power Ascension Program which is being developed as part of the EPU implementation modification that implements the EPU and Power Ascension Program.
d) The pipe supports were evaluated for increased loads due to EPU by performing manual calculations and/or detailed computer analyses, using the PC-PREPS and ANSYS computer programs, as described in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.2.2. The PC-PREPS computer program performs a complete structural analysis, including an AlSC code check, weld qualification and baseplatelanchor bolt qualifications. The Page 15 of 41
ANSYS computer program uses finite element analysis methods to perform detailed welded attachment analyses. The support evaluations have demonstrated that affected pipe supports, including new and modified supports, are acceptable for EPU conditions in accordance with current plant design basis.
Detailed data related to pipe supports requiring modification due to EPU are provided in Attachment 7 (Unit I ) and Attachment 8 (Unit 2). The subject tables provide the support number, piping system, pipe size, location, EPU load, and description of modification.
Many of the support modifications involve new supports, or relocated supports, or supports where existing detailed analyses were not available, such that there is no existing load data available, or a comparison of current to existing loads would not be an accurate representation of a load increase due to EPU. Based on this observation, no current loads were provided in the tables.
The pipe support load data provided in this response and referenced tables may change as result of final design and as-built conditions. The final results will remain within code allowable values and acceptance criteria.
e) The final EPU modifications for Unit 1 will be installed during the Fall 2011 outage. The final EPU modifications for Unit 2 will be installed during the Spring 201Ioutage. The implementation plan has been provided in Reference (6).
EMCB RAI 8 Section 2.2.2.2.2 states that "... main steam and feedwater pipe support modifications are required to mitigate the larger flow induced fluid transient loads that resulted due to EPU conditions." Please identify all piping systems that require modifications for EPU. Provide a detailed description of piping and pipe support modifications (including new supports) that are required for EPU. Include pipe line name, size, type and identification name of pipe support and the reason for the revision/addition.
NextEra Response The following piping systems required modifications for EPU.
a Main Steam (pipe supports only) a Feedwater
@ Condensate 0 Extraction Steam a Heater Drains (including heater relief valve piping)
There were no main steam or feedwater "piping" modifications required to address fluid transient loads resulting from EPU. The main steam and feedwater modifications required to address fluid transient loads resulting from EPU were limited to "pipe support" modifications.
Page 16 of 41
A summary of the piping modifications resulting from EPU modifications are as follows:
Feedwater and Condensate Svstem e Replacement of feedwater pumps require suction and discharge piping changes to match new nozzle locations and revised pump and motor arrangement Q Replacement of feedwater pump minimum recirculation lines and valves require larger diameter piping and valves Q Replacement of the feedwater heaters require piping changes to match new nozzle sizes and locations Q Installation of new feedwater isolation valves require piping changes to install new valves Heater Drain Svstem

For detailed summary of required pipe support modifications resulting from EPU, refer to the response for EMCB RAI 7, ltem d). The pipe line name, size, type, and identification name of the pipe support, along with the reason for the revisionladdition are included in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 7, ltem d).
Page 17 of 41
EMCB RAI 9 EMCB RAI 9 refers to pipe stress summaries of the EPU LR Table 2.2.2.2-1.
a) Confirm whether stress summaries of Table 2.2.2.2- 1 include stresses due to fluid transient loads associated with the EPU; such as turbine stop valve (TSV), main steam isolation valve (MSIV) and main feedwater isolation valve (MFIV) closure transients. If not, provide stress summaries of the feedwater and main steam piping evaluations that contain stresses due to EPU higher fluid transient loads. In addition, for main steam and feedwater nozzles and containment penetrations, provide a summary of loads compared to specific allowable values for the nozzles and penetrations.
b) The stress summaries of Table 2.2.2.2-1 are not based on the current plant piping configurations. Please update this table to show pipe stress summaries of EPU piping configuration and conditions.
c) Table 2.2.2.2- 1 does not contain stress summaries for the sustained loads equation. Veriw that pressure in piping systems (BOP and inside containmenf) is not affected by the proposed EPU.
NextEra Response a) The stresses provided in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.2.2-1 included stresses due to fluid transient loads associated with EPU. The updated stress data provided in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 9, ltem b) below also includes stresses due to fluid transients, as applicable.
The main steam and feedwater nozzle loads and containment penetration loads, including their respective allowable values, are provided in the response for EMCB RAI 7, ltem b).
b) The updated stress summaries reflecting EPU piping configurations and conditions are provided in the response for EMCB RAI 7, ltem b). The pipe stress values provided in the NextEra response to EMCB RAI 7, ltem b) and referenced tables may change as a result of final design and as-built conditions. The final results will remain within code allowable values and acceptance criteria.
c) The pipe stress sustained loads equation has been included in the updated stress summaries provided in the response for EMCB RAI 7, ltem b). The updated sustained stress data has evaluated pressure changes andlor piping and support system configuration changes resulting from EPU that would potentially impact the sustained stress equation. The sustained stress levels for piping systems (BOP and inside containment) under EPU conditions remain within the current design basis allowable limits.
Page 18 of 41
EMCB RAI 10 At the time of the EPU LAR submittal, some EPUrequired piping and pipe support analyses had not been performed or completed. On page 2.2.2-18 of the EPU LR, states that "...the piping and support evaluations will be performed as part of the overall design change package.. ." This is not acceptable to the staff. Please provide assurance that all piping and pipe support evaluations, including new and modified supports, have been completed and the evaluations have found that these SSCs are capable of maintaining their designed structural integrity for EPU conditions in accordance with the current plant design basis. Also, please provide the schedule for the required installations.
NextEra Response The evaluations for all piping and pipe supports (including new and modified supports) for EPU conditions have been completed. These evaluations have demonstrated that piping and related pipe supports, including new and modified supports, are acceptable for EPU conditions in accordance with current plant design basis. Refer to the NextEra responses to EMCB RAI 7, EMCB RAI 8 and EMCB RAI 9 for evaluation results. The pipe stress values and pipe support loads provided in the NextEra responses to EMCB RAI 7, EMCB RAI 8 and EMCB RAI 9, may change as result of final design and as-built conditions. The final results will remain within code allowable values and acceptance criteria.
The final EPU modifications for Unit 1 will be installed during the Fall 201 1 outage. The final EPU modifications for Unit 2 will be installed during the Spring 2011 outage. The implementation plan has been provided via Reference (6).
EMCB RAI I 1 Please explain why the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) stress summary does not contain primary plus secondary stress intensity values compared to 3S, for the RPV inlet and outlet nozzle support pads. I f these values were not calculated for EPU, provide a justification.
NextEra Response The original stress reports did not evaluate the primary plus secondary stress intensity ranges for the RPV inlet and outlet nozzle support pads. No explanation was given in the reports as to why the primary plus secondary stress intensity ranges were not evaluated; however, the ranges would be under the 3S, limit based on the following discussion.
Page 19 of 41
The RPV inlet and outlet nozzle support pads are seated in support shoes that make up part of the RPV support system. The average operating temperature of the support shoes is approximately 400°F. The largest temperature gradient in the nozzle support pads would be from the inside diameter of the outlet nozzle to the bottom of the support pad given that the outlet nozzle is exposed to higher reactor coolant temperatures than the inlet nozzle. Assuming a very conservative outlet nozzle inside diameter temperature of 650°F, the temperature gradient through the support pad would be 250°F through a metal thickness of approximately 12 inches. The linear thermal gradient hoop and axial stress is approximated using the following equation:
E ~ T where: E = 26.05 x lo6 psi C T ~= ox= $. a = 7.33 x 10-6in/in/"F 2(1- v) AT = 250°F v = 0.3 The maximum linear thermal gradient stress would be approximately +34 ksi. Note that material properties for SA-508 Class I1at 650°F are used.
The original stress reports did provide pressure, thermal and external load stresses during each transient at the inside diameter and the bottom of the support pad for each respective RPV nozzle. These stresses were combined to form total stress intensities which were then used to calculate cumulative fatigue usage factors at the two locations.
The largest total stress range in the original stress reports occurs on the inside diameter of the outlet nozzle. The maximum total stress range is created from the steam pipe break and no-loss-of-function seismic events. The +34 ksi linear thermal gradient stress calculated above is substituted for the peak thermal stress in the two transients that make up the largest total stress range. One transient has 34 ksi linear thermal gradient stress while the other transient has -34 ksi linear thermal gradient stress. Recombining the given pressure, linear thermal gradient and external load stresses results in a primary plus secondary stress intensity range of approximately 67 ksi which is well under the 80.1 ksi 3S, limit.
For EPU conditions, the conservative 250°F temperature gradient would still be applicable, so the 34 ksi maximum linear thermal gradient stress would also apply for EPU conditions. The steam pipe break transient is not affected by EPU conditions. Any changes to the no-loss-of-function seismic event compressive stresses in the nozzle support pads would minimally impact the primary plus secondary stress intensity range since the thermal stress dominates this quantity. Therefore, the 67 ksi primary plus secondary stress intensity range would also be applicable for EPU conditions.
EMCB RAI 12 Please clarify whether the fatigue derived cumulative usage factors (CUFs) shown in tables of EPU LR Section 2.2, "Mechanical and Civil Engineering': are for the 60 year renewed plant life.
NextEra Response The cumulative usage factors in the tables of EPU LR Section 2.2 are for the 60 year renewed plant life.
Page 20 of 41
EMCB RAI 13 Were the stress analyses rerun or were scaling factors used with the CLTP or the original stress reports to determine EPU stress intensities and fatigue CUFs shown in LR Table 2.2.2.3-3?
Provide your methodology which shows how the scaling factors were derived and how they were used to determine EPU stress intensities and fatigue CUFs from baseline stress reports.
Also explain the "standard engineering approachesJ'usedto evaluate changes in the thermal and pressure stresses, due to adverse changes in temperature and/or pressure variations from the baseline transients. Provide an example which shows the methodology used.
NextEra Response The only reactor vessel component stress and fatigue analysis that was rerun for the EPU was the RRVCH flange evaluation. The original RRVCH flange evaluation was performed using the Westinghouse WESTEMSTMsoftware. The original WESTEMS database was updated for EPU conditions and rerun to provide updated RRVCH flange stress and fatigue results. Scaling factors were applied to all other reactor vessel component EPU evaluations.
Listed in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.2.3-1 are the baseline stress reports supporting the CLTP. Collectively, these baseline stress reports constitute the AOR for the PBNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor vessels. The original stress reports provided the initial reactor vessel component stress and fatigue results which have been modified by the RSGIuprating and RRVCH programs.
As mentioned previously, all reactor vessel component EPU evaluations (except the RRVCH flange) scaled the stresses derived in the RSGIuprating and RRVCH evaluations. For instances where the RSGIuprating did not affect the original stress report stresses while the EPU did, the original stress report stresses were scaled. The RRVCH evaluations completely replaced any analogous component evaluations in either the RSGIuprating or original stress reports.
The scaling factor method began by comparing the new EPU transients to those previously qualified in the AOR. To identify the EPU transients that were not bounded by AOR transients, the EPU and AOR transient data were expressed in terms of temperature variation (AT) for Thot and Tcold,rate of temperature variation (ATIsec) for Thotand Tcoldand pressure variation (AP).
EPU transients (That and Tcold)whose temperature variation, rate of temperature variation andlor pressure variation exceeded those for the AOR transients required further consideration in the RV component evaluations. LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.2.3-2 lists the EPU transients that were not bounded by the AOR transients. Also listed in the table are the EPU transient parameters that were not bounded. When the Thotor Tcoldparameters are listed, it refers to the maximum factor calculated based on either the temperature variation or rate of temperature variation.
The transient temperature scale factors (That andlor Tcold)were determined by dividing the EPU temperature variations by the AOR temperature variations as well as the EPU rate of temperature variations by the AOR rate of temperature variations. The maximum ratio calculated conservatively became the thermal scale factor for that transient. A similar approach was used for the EPU versus AOR pressure variations to develop the pressure scale factor for that transient. The methodology described so far constitutes the "standard engineering approaches" cited in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.3.
Page 21 of 41
The EPU transient thermal and pressure scale factors developed were applied to the applicable RSGIuprating or original stress report transient primary plus secondary thermal and pressure stresses. The incremental thermal and pressure stress changes were then used to calculate new transient primary plus secondary stress intensities, which were then used to evaluate any changes to the maximum ranges of stress intensity for the reactor vessel 'component.
The EPU transient thermal and pressure scale factors were also conservatively applied to the applicable RSGIuprating or original stress report transient thermal and pressure stresses used to calculate transient total stresses for use in the reactor vessel component fatigue evaluations.
The new transient total stresses were then evaluated for the impact on the reactor vessel component cumulative fatigue usage.
For the RRVCH component evaluations, except for the RRVCH flange, the scale factors were very conservatively applied directly to the transient primary plus secondary stress intensities and the fatigue pair alternating stress intensities. This approach was used due to the absence of the detailed transient thermal and pressure stresses in the existing RRVCH computer output.
The following provides a brief example of the methodology:
AT ATIsec AP AOR transient (a) 40 1.25 50 EPU transient (a) 45 1.50 75 Scale factor 1.125 I.20 I.5 Thermal scale factor = I.20 (maximum of 1.I 25 and 1.20)
Pressure scale factor = 1.5 The AOR transient (a) primary plus secondary stresses (assuming external load stress is zero) is provided below:
Pressure Stress Thermal Stress Stress Axial Hoop Radial Axial Hoop Radial Intensity AOR Transient (a) 50 100 I0 120 120 40 170 Scale Factors 75 150 15 I44 144 48 23 1 Applied Other AOR transients affected by scale factors were scaled similarly and new stress intensities calculated. A check was then made for any changes to the maximum primary plus secondary stress intensity range. When a new maximum primary plus secondary stress intensity range was created, the new value was reported for the reactor vessel component for EPU conditions.
A similar approach was employed for the fatigue analysis of the reactor vessel component except that new total stress intensities were calculated and the fatigue evaluation was updated.
Page 22 of 41
EMCB RAI 15 Please verify whether or not the fatigue CUF values shown on Table 2.2.2.3-3 reflect effects from environmentally assisted fatigue? If not provide a justification.
NextEra Response NextEra determined that the environmental effects on the fatigue CUF values shown on LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.2.3-3, were negligible. The dissolved oxygen content in the RCS was found to be below the minimum threshold value for the tensile stress producing transients. Therefore, it was not necessary to include the effects from environmentally assisted fatigue into the CUF values shown on LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.2.3-3.
EMCB RAI 16 LR Table 2.2.2.3-6 contains the EPU revised "RPV support loads (per Support)."
a) Please explain whether these RPV loads were applied to each shoe of its support structure and discuss why the CLTP RPV support loads would change for EPU?
b) Please also provide the corresponding allowable loads for the EPU revised RPV supporf loads, as shown in Table 2.2.2.3-6.
NextEra Response a) In the support structure analytical model the maximum individual RPV support load combinations (Normal, Upset, Faulted-I, and Faulted-2) were applied to each of the six support shoe locations simultaneously.
During a detailed review of the RPV system model for EPU it was discovered that the vessel support stiffness used in horizontal and vertical directions did not consider the complete flexibility of the reactor vessel support system. A corrective action was initiated by Westinghouse and the potential discrepancy was addressed for the current PBNP operation as well as for the proposed EPU conditions. The RPV system analyses were performed for both seismic and LOCA conditions using the revised vessel support stiffness values in horizontal and vertical directions. This revised analysis using a more flexible reactor vessel support system produced results that were higher than the previously analyzed loads as used in the current analysis of record. Since the RPV system analysis results feed into various other analyses, including the reactor vessel supports, the new loads were shown to be higher than previously analyzed loads and were reconciled for both the current operation as well as EPU conditions. The downstream analyses were confirmed to be acceptable and within allowable limits as part of the corrective action resolution.
b) There are four critical RPV support structural components; the support shoe, the leveling screw, the support structure pipe column and box beam. The results of the structural evaluation of these components for revised loadings under EPU conditions, in the form of stress interaction ratios, are provided in LAR 261, Table 2.2.2.3-5.
Page 23 of 41
The requested allowable loads along with the corresponding actual load from LAR 261, Table 2.2.2.3-6 and the resultant stress interaction ratios, LAR 261, Table 2.2.2.3-5, for the support shoe and leveling screw are provided in Tables 16-1 and 16-2 below.

The requested allowable loads for the pipe column and box beam are not directly available as are the support shoe and leveling screw since the stress interaction ratios are based on a structural analysis of the combined support frame. The support frame analytical model is shown in Figure 16-1. The structural analysis produced critical member loads for the pipe column cross sections and the box beam cross sections.
Critical or controlling member loads in the form of axial forces (tension and compression), biaxial shear forces, torsional moments, and biaxial bending moments were created. Actual member stresses were computed from the critical member loads and the corresponding cross section properties. Allowable stresses for tension, compression, shear, and biaxial bending were computed in accordance with the PBNP primary equipment support design basis requirements taken from Table A.5-3 of the FSAR. Stress interaction ratios were then computed with the axial tension and compression with biaxial bending combination equations shown in Figure 16-2 below.
Shear stress interaction ratios were also computed with combined direct shear and shear due to torsion. The controlling stress ratios for the pipe column and the box beam cross sections are summarized in LAR 261, Table 2.2.2.3-5.
In summary, the structural qualification of the pipe column and the box beam for EPU conditions is demonstrated by showing that all combined actual stresses are less than the corresponding allowable stresses.

EMCB RAI 17 PBNP EPU LR Section 2.2.2.5.7 discusses the evaluation performed to address the effects of flow induced vibration (FIV) on the SG tubes due to the increased EPU flow. Please discuss the bases for your assumptions, acceptance criteria and the methodology used for calculating tube wear, vibration forces and stresses.
NextEra Response Bases for Assumptions:
Fluidelastic Instability Fluidelastic instability is a function of various parameters as indicated in the design basis analysis. Changes in operating conditions will modify some of these parameters and result in changes to the previously calculated values. The principle values that will change as a result of the uprate will be the secondary side fluid velocity (V) and the density (p). The fluidelastic stability ratio is related to the fluid velocity and density through the following relationship:
Stability ratio "c p" x V Turbulence Turbulent displacements are a function of various parameters including density (p) and velocity (V) of the form p(V (3's) 0.5, where S (a turbulence constant) can range from 0.304 to 2.34. This means that displacements can be a function of pVawhere "a" can range from 1.65, [(3+0.304)*0.5] to 2.67, [(3+2.34)*0.5] or -pv2. For conservatism, the displacements are scaled using the conservative relationship:
Wear Potential The tube wear parameter is essentially a function of displacement. Therefore, any changes to this parameter would be proportional to displacements associated with turbulence. Therefore, wear can be modified using the same methods used for turbulence.
Page 26 of 41
Acceptance Criteria:
The acceptance criteria are as follows:
- 1. Fluidelastic stability ratios < I.O.
- 2. Amplitude of tube vibration due to turbulence no greater than half (112) of the gap between tubes. This considers the worst case scenario that the adjacent tubes are moving 180" out of phase.
Unit I: 112 * (1.2344 - 0.875) = 0.1797 inch Unit 2: 112 * (1-234- 0.875) = 0.1 795 inch
- 3. Demonstrate that unacceptably large rates of tube wear will not occur after the uprate.
Note that 40% wear depth for the Model 44F and Delta-47 steam generators would be 0.4 x 50 mils = 20 mils.
Methodology:
Based on factors derived above, the original flow induced vibration (FIV) results are modified to address the effects of the EPU. These values for fluidelastic instability, turbulence, and tube wear were compared to the design basis allowable values and showed continued acceptability following the EPU.
Fatigue usage associated with general FIV resulting from the most limiting uprated operating condition has been calculated. In the original analysis, the limiting tube had a maximum FIV induced tube bend,ing stress of ~ 3 0 psi 0 for Unit 1 and 410 psi for Unit 2. Conservative EPU calculations indicate that when these tubes are in operation at the uprated condition, the corresponding maximum stress levels would be 479 psi for Unit 1 and 655 psi for Unit 2. This level of stress is still well below the endurance limit of approximately 20 ksi at 1E l Icycles, and will not result in any fatigue usage factor increase.
EMCB RAI 19 SG tubes have been known to fail and rupture due to high cycle fatigue caused by vibration due to fluid-elastic instability. Discuss the applicability of the NRC Bulletin 88-02, "Rapidly Propagating Fatigue Cracks in Steam Generator Tubes, " to the PBNP SGs.
NextEra Response NRC Bulletin 88-02 (Reference 7) is not applicable to PBNP Units 1 and 2 replacement steam generators (RSG) because the tube support plates (TSPs) are fabricated of stainless steel.
One of the prerequisites for high cycle U-bend fatigue is the formation of a dented tube support condition at the upper plate. This support condition is a result of a build-up of corrosion products associated with drilled holes in carbon steel TSPs. Since the broached stainless steel support plate in the RSG is designed to inhibit the introduction of corrosion products, the support condition necessary for the development of high cycle fatigue cannot occur. As a result, high cycle fatigue associated with unsupported inner row tubes cannot occur in the PBNP Units Iand 2 steam generators.
Page 27 of 41
EMCB RAI 20 PBNP EPU LR Tables 2.5.5.1-1 and 2.5.5.4-1 show that, at EPU power levels main steam and FW flow rates will increase by over 20%, while velocities in the main steam from SGs to TCSVs could increase by approximately 27% and condensate and feedwater system flow velocities are expected to increase by approximately 25% at EPU power level.
a) Please provide for both units analysis summaries for the steam dryer, dryer supports, flow-reflectors (if applicable) and for other SG internals due to flow-induced loadings associated with fluid-elastic instability, vortex shedding or acoustic type loadings due to the EPU higher FW and steam flow. If these types of analyses for the SG internals have not been performed or flow-induced loads are not thought to be a concern for these components, provide a justification which supports your position.
b) Discuss whether any acoustic resonance could be generated at EPU flow or during power ascension to EPU power in the feedwater and main steam lines and describe how the acoustics-driven dynamic pressure loading acting on the components inside the steam generator under EPU conditions will be estimated. The discussion of the results presented in EPU LR Section 2.2.2.5 of the comparative assessment between geometries of B WR and PWR steam dryers does not demonstrate and is inconclusive as to why an acoustic type pressure wave cannot be generated and create a pressure loading on the dryer and its components.
c) Discuss procedures in place for preparation, response and preventive actions designed to detect and remove loose parts that could potentially occur due to component degradation as a result of the EPU increased main steam and FW flow. Also, please discuss the potential for damage that these loose parts could have to the safety-related SSCs.
NextEra Response a) EPU Flow loadings, including those associated with fluid-elastic instability, vortex shedding or acoustic type loadings are considered to be insignificant in the analysis of the SG dryer and dryer supports and other PBNP SG internals. There are no existing conditions identified in the piping systems connected to the SG that are potential sources for flow-induced acoustic resonances or system vibration that would adversely impact SG internals at EPU. Further, there is no history of vibration problems in these lines at PBNP. Many units with similar SG upper internal configurations have been visually inspected periodically in this region of the SGs and found not to have any indication of FIV degradation of the steam dryers or related supports. Furthermore, in-service experience has revealed no such phenomenon related to domestic PWR NSSSs.
As an additional consideration for EPU, the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 1.20 (RG 1.20) (Reference 8) as it relates to PWR SGs has been followed. By taking into account industry operating experience, comparative evaluations and analysis have been completed to develop the overall conclusion that there are no predicted vibrational issues identified for the SG steam dryer assemblies and supports at EPU conditions.
LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.5.12 presents the steam dryer and dryer support evaluation summary in alignment with the RG 1.20 guidance on evaluation to flow-induced loadings on SG internals. This section indicates that the potential for FIV induced loadings have been carefully considered using the guidelines provided in Page 28 of 41
RG 1.20 and has concluded that FIV of the secondary moisture separators is not significant under EPU conditions.
In addition, the effect of increased flow at EPU conditions will be monitored through existing plant loose part monitoring system procedures and in-service inspections, including periodic SG eddy current testing, foreign object search and retrieval (FOSAR) and an SG upper internals inspection during each of the two scheduled outages following EPU. The two Westinghouse SG models operating at PBNP Units 1 and 2 do not use steam flow reflectors by design, and as a result, steam flow reflector FIV is not a plausible condition.
b) A search of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) database of operating experience (OE) reveals that operating BWR plants have reported FIV-related issues in the steam dryer region and PWR SGs lack similar experiences. Flow characteristics through a BWR steam dome are significantly different from those of a typical PWR SG, such as those operating at PBNP Units 1 and 2. In a BWR vessel, localized regions near the steam outlet nozzles may be continually exposed to steam flows in excess of 100 ft/s largely due to flow redirection. Steam flows of this nature may generate a concern for FIV related degradation issues, with a potential for significant stresses in the steam dryers and support structures.
The steam velocities and densities through the dryer region of the PBNP Units Iand 2 SGs show relatively low FIV potential, with a maximum of approximately 5.4 ft/s and I.7lbm/ft3,respectively, under the EPU conditions. Also, clearances between the dryer and SG steam exit nozzle are in excess of 35 inches with no major components near the steam exit and a direct steam flow path existing to the SG steam outlet nozzle. These low steam velocities and densities combined with considerable dryer clearances indicate a low potential for FIV concerns and cyclic acoustic-type pressure loads occurring at the SG dryers in the PBNP Units Iand 2 SGs. Additionally, there has been no potential source identified for flow induced acoustic resonances or system vibration that would adversely impact RCS components such as SG internals. Therefore, acoustic resonance type loadings are considered to be insignificant in the analysis of the SG dryer and dryer supports and other SG internals.
Although there is no evidence of acoustical pressure load generation in the PBNP SGs and PWRs in general, analysis has also been performed to address the effects of BWR type acoustical loadings on the PBNP SG dryers for the EPU. This analysis assumed that acoustical energy of the same general magnitude seen in the BWR industry experiences is present at the SG steam outlet nozzle. A natural frequency, mode shape and corresponding stress analysis has been performed for the steam dryers of the PBNP Unit 1 and 2 SGs. The results of analysis concluded that the range of natural frequencies for the limiting dryer bank component is approximately 65 Hz to 250 Hz for the first twenty mode shapes. Upon determination of the structure natural frequencies and resulting mode shapes, classical deformation and stress analysis equations have been applied to calculate the maximum displacements and resulting stresses at the point of maximum postulated steam dryer structure deflection. The static and cyclical stresses resulting from the potential vibration are found to be below the ASME Code allowable and fatigue strength endurance limit of the dryer material. Therefore, should acoustical loadings of the magnitude observed in BWR industry experiences actually develop, the PBNP Unit Iand 2 SG steam dryer and support structures are found to not be Page 29 of 41
susceptible to vibrational fatigue failure and loose part generation as a result of EPU operating conditions.
Industry experience of PWRs at roughly 28 domestic plants operating 92 SGs with the same or similar types of dryer and support structures as those in service at PBNP Units 1 and 2 have no reported operational issues or failures related to FIV. This strong performance database of operating plant history is aligned with the RG 1.20 evaluation conclusions provided in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.5 and the Westinghouse determination that acoustic type FIV loadings in the SG steam dryer region is not a concern within the operational bounds of the EPU at PBNP Units 1 and 2.
c) The PBNP Loose Parts Monitoring System is an array of acoustic monitors whose primary function is protection of the steam generator tubesheet and the fuel against contact with debris. System sensor locations include the bottom of the reactor vessel (2), on the steam generator tubesheet, on the primary side of the SG tubesheet, and on the secondary side of the SG tube sheet. The sensor outputs are monitored automatically, and an alarm is initiated if the sound energy level exceeds a preset threshold. An alarm prompts further investigation and evaluation of the potential risk to the fuel cladding or primary system pressure boundary.
Loose Parts Originating in the Feedwater Svstem Loose parts originating in the feedwater system downstream of the No. 5 feedwater heater may pass into the SGs, and if so, could be detected by the loose parts monitoring system and actions to assess the condition would be initiated.
Continuous monitoring of SG integrity is provided by steam jet air ejector, blowdown, and steam line activity monitors, and periodically by primary-to-secondary leak rate calculations. Debris detected directly or indirectly in the SG secondary side would be evaluated, and appropriate corrective action to safeguard the continued integrity of the SGs taken via the corrective action process.
Flow generated loose parts that originate upstream of the No. 5 feedwater heaters, unless smaller than the diameter of the No. 5 feedwater heater tubes, would be caught and retained on the tube sheet of the heaters.
Practical operating experience suggests that large debris in the heaters is readily detected by audible indications because the debris continually circulates and impacts the heat exchanger end-bell and tube sheet. Such indications would prompt an assessment of the situation via the corrective action process.
Loose Parts Originating in the Steam Generators or Main Steam System Similarly, transportable debris released from the steam system would either travel to the strainers at the inlet of the turbine control valves, or lodge in system components or dead-legs. If passed to the strainers, they would have no adverse effects on safety equipment and would remain there until detected and retrieved during routine outage maintenance.
It is possible that small debris released in the steam drum might drop down into the steam generator tube bundle. Such debris would be monitored for and detected by the Page 30 of 41
loose parts monitoring system in the same way as debris arriving in the tube bundle from the feedwater system.
Particularly large transportable debris released into the steam system would be apparent by a decrease in steam flow in the partially obstructed line. This would be evidenced by one or more of the following indications:
0 A change in turbine governor valve position(s),
a A change in the affected SG pressure and flow as compared to the other steam generator, and/or a A change in plant efficiency.
Such indications would prompt further investigation and assessment via the corrective action process.
High density debris originating in the steam drum between the primary separators and the secondary separators would not be transportable due to the relatively low steam velocity between the separator stages. If sufficiently light with a larger drag cross section, debris might be transportable downstream of the secondary separators where flow velocity is higher. However, larger transportable debris would be caught on the flow limiting inserts installed in the SG outlet neck. This would be indicated by a change in SG pressure and flow as compared to the other SG as described in the above paragraph.
If debris were small enough to pass through the flow limiters, it would also be small enough to pass all the way downstream to the turbine control valve inlet strainers. It is not credible that such smaller debris would lodge in the steam flow venturies, though such obstructions would be immediately apparent by an abnormal steam flow indication.
Indications of abnormal operation would prompt further investigation, assessment, and corrective action as appropriate.
The potential effects of released debris are limited to obstruction of safety related valves that interfere with their design function(s). In the case of the feedwater system, the valves of concern are the feedwater regulation valves (FRVs) due to their relatively small flow passages. These valves have caged plugs with relatively small flow passages, and are backed up by the redundant feedwater isolation valves that have a larger flow cross section than an FRV, and therefore would not be affected by debris that passes through an FRV. As such, the safety effect of debris that might interfere with the function of the FRVs is judged to be minimal.
The safety-related valves in the main steam system with active safety functions are the main steam safety valves (MSSVs), the atmospheric dump valves, the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs), the main steam non-return check valves, and the turbine stop valves.
The MSSVs and atmospheric dump valves are located on top of a stagnant, large diameter relief valve header that has no steam flow under normal operating conditions.
Therefore, it is not considered credible for debris released in the MS system to reach these valves during normal operation. Conversely, when needed to function in response to abnormal transients, the system steam flows are either substantially lower (less than CLTP full flow) or of very brief duration until the transient is terminated. Consequently, Page 31 of 41
the likelihood of transport of loose parts originating in the main steam system to these valves is considered very low.
Debris transported into the large diameter relief valve header would most likely fall to the bottom of the header and remain there. However, if it were sufficiently small to be carried by steam flow to the top surface of the header, debris should also be sufficiently small to only affect one of the valves supplied from the header (either the atmospheric dump, or one of the three MSSVs) supplied by the header. In any case, each steam generator is served by separate relief headers providing another degree of redundant protection against the effects of any single piece of debris.
The MSIVs, main steam non-return check valves, and turbine stop valves have large, unobstructed flow areas that are substantially larger than the throat of the steam generator flow limiting devices. Therefore, postulated debris being carried with main steam flow is not expected to lodge or remain in these valves and interfere with their function. Should such an unlikely event occur, the valves are redundant and serve to back up one another so that no single piece of debris could defeat the safety isolation function of the valves.
EMCB RAI 21 EPU LR Section 2.2.2.5 states that: "With the increased flow conditions within the steam drum expected from EPU conditions, material loss in the carbon steel steam drum components may be initiated or accelerated. Periodic steam generator inspections will detect degradation that may occur." Please provide the frequency of the scheduled inspections for the steam drum components and the supporting basis that drives these inspections.
NextEra Response An engineering assessment of the potential impact of the planned EPU operating conditions on the steam drum components was completed. During the assessment, a review of steam generator industry history and the impact of erosion-corrosion degradation at uprated conditions was conducted. The engineering assessment concluded that material loss in the carbon steel steam drum components due to erosion-corrosion may be initiated or accelerated due to operation of the steam generator at EPU conditions.
An initial sample inspection of PBNP steam generators from each unit during refueling outages U1R30 (Spring 2007) and U2R29 (Spring 2008) was conducted, and the results of the inspections showed that there was no significant erosion-corrosion damage or material degradation of the steam generator upper internals.
An additional evaluation of the steam drum upper internal components was completed for potential material loss following EPU. The evaluation utilized conservatively high wear rates compared to industry inspection findings on similar generators with similar flow velocities for the steam drum components. The most limiting components were evaluated for material loss for two operating cycles at EPU conditions. The resulting conservatively high material loss would not affect the components structural integrity. Utilizing a conservative inspection frequency of one operating cycle for the initial inspection following uprate will ensure the structural integrity of the Steam Drum components is maintained.
Page 32 of 41
The recommendations from the assessment and evaluation noted above included that after every plant operating cycle for both units, inspections of the steam drum components be performed to determine if the increased flow rates have initiated or accelerated the erosion-corrosion process. The frequency of this inspection interval may be alteredlextended after initial inspections are completed. Note that LAR 261, Commitment #I 7 stated, "A formal monitoring program for the steam generator steam drum components will be implemented prior to operation of each unit at EPU conditions. The monitoring will be conducted over two operating cycles to confirm components are performing adequately at EPU operating conditions. See LR Section 2.2.2.5, Steam Generators and Supports."
Consistent with the commitment noted above, inspections of the steam generator upper internals will be performed after installation of the modifications associated with the moisture separator assemblies. These inspections will provide a baseline assessment of the steam generator upper internals prior to operating at EPU conditions. Inspections of the upper internals will be performed during the first two refueling outages following the EPU uprate on each unit to determine if the increased flow rates have initiated or accelerated the erosion-corrosion process. The frequency of the inspections may be adjusted following these inspections. In addition, aging management reviews will continue to be performed on the steam generator feedwater rings, J-nozzles, and feedwater ring supports using the Water Chemistry Control Program and the Steam Generator Integrity Program.
EMCB RAI 22 EPU LR Section 2.2.2.5, with respect to the structural adequacy of the steam drum components states that: "flow-induced vibration of these components during uprated conditions is considered to be enveloped by the original design basis evaluations due to the limited change in flow parameters within the steam drum under EPU conditions. " Please describe the original design basis evaluations and provide references of these evaluations which have been performed for the steam drum components that include flow-induced loads. Also, please describe how the flow parameters in the original design basis evaluations envelop the EPU increased flow conditions.
NextEra Response Detailed stress analyses of the steam drum components were performed for the significant loadings that could potentially occur on steam drum components. Assessments of the flow induced vibration (FIV) potentjal of the steam drum components were made during the design of the PBNP steam generators, and it was recognizing that cyclic FIV loadings were not significant for the reasons discussed below. As a result, a detailed FIV analysis was not required for either the original design structural analysis or the structural analysis that addressed the EPU.
It has been Westinghouse's experience that fluid loadings of steam drum components has not resulted in any degradation or repair of these components that could be attributed to FIV. Other degradation mechanisms have been observed in this region and have been primarily limited to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC). Industry experience for PWR steam generators indicate that unacceptable FIV is not occurring in this region of the steam generator.
FIV is a function of various parameters including fluid density (p) and fluid velocity (V). In the steam drum region, the fluid is primarily composed of steam which has lower values of density versus the density for liquid water. As a result, the dynamic pressure (pv2) in this region is also low and would result in only small FIV loadings. The individual modular primary moisture Page 33 of 41
separators in the PBNP steam generators are physically smaller than moisture separators in other model steam generators. The PBNP moisture separators are well supported and as a result, the structures would be expected to have high natural frequencies. FIV potential is also a function of natural frequency, and components having lower natural frequencies tend to have a larger potential for an unacceptable FIV response. Since the PBNP separators would tend to have larger natural frequencies than other designs, the potential for an unacceptable FIV response would be even further reduced.
Design basis analysis of the PBNP Unit Iand Unit 2 steam generator steam drum components considered load conditions that could potentially result in a significant stress or displacement of any structure in the steam drum. The analysis focused on conditions that produced primary stresses in the components. For Unit I,the potential effects of cyclic loading were considered and were addressed in a component specific fatigue analysis. In this region of the steam generator, the limiting component with respect to cycle loadings was determined to be the riser barrel/lower deck plate fillet weld. The analysis performed for this weld determined that the fatigue usage was acceptable for the applied cyclic loadings. FIV could potentially result in fatigue usage accumulation in some steam generator components, however, these loads were not considered to be significant in this region due to past Westinghouse and industry experience, the low magnitude of the loads and the general robustness of the associated structures. In addition, the PBNP Unit 2 stress report clearly states, "At the elevation of the upper internals, thermal and pressure loads due to steam temperature changes during operating transients are negligible. Therefore, it is concluded that fatigue usage in this area is not a concern and only primary stresses will be evaluated." Recognizing that cyclic FIV loadings are not significant for the reasons discussed above, a detailed FIV analysis was not required for either the original design basis structural analysis or the structural analysis that addressed the EPU.
EMCB RAI 23 Please confirm that EPU LR Section 2.2.2. I indicates that for the NSSS piping and supports the current analyses on record contain load and transient input data that bound those of the EPU conditions.

b) LAR 261, Attachment 5, Section 2.2.2.6 does not indicate the code year for the acceptance criteria for the stress limits and fatigue usage requirements for the reactor coolant pumps at EPU conditions because the Model 93 RCPs were not required to be N-stamped to a particular code year. The age of the RCPs predates specific code requirements for pumps. Rather than being certified to a particular code year and addenda, the RCPs were analyzed to the intent of the ASME Code available at that time.

The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Ill, Division I,1998 Edition with 2000 Addenda, "Code Section NG-3222 and NG-3228.3,"
was chosen to meet the intent of the ASME Code. The original analyses for the PBNP reactor internals adopted the allowable stress criteria of Article 4 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section Ill,Section I,1968 Edition with Addenda through Winter 1968.
Comparison of the allowable stress and fatigue criteria presented in Subsection NG of the 1998 Edition of the ASME Code Section Ill, Division I, including 2000 Addenda with Article 4 of the 1968 Edition with Addenda through Winter 1968, demonstrates that the criteria used in this analysis are reconciled with the requirements and the allowable stress limits. Also, the fatigue usage criteria in the 1968 Edition with Addenda through Winter 1968 are identical to those in the 1998 Edition including 2000 Addenda of the ASME Code.
b) See the NextEra response provided above for Item a).
RCS Supports (Except Reactor Vessel Supports) a) See the NextEra response provided for EMCB RAI I.
b) See the NextEra response provided for EMCB RAI 1 RPV Supports a) For the RPV supports, the original design basis design requirements were used for the EPU project. The design basis requirements for the RPV supports design are contained in Table A.5-3 of the PBNP FSAR. This table provides the Normal, Upset and Faulted allowable stress limits for a couple of the materials used in the RPV support construction. Although not specifically mentioned, these stress limits are identical to the "working stress" requirements of the AlSC "Specification for the Design, Fabrication and Erection of Structural Steel for Buildings," dated February 12, 1969. For the Faulted loading combination the allowable stress limits are 90% of yield for direct tension stress and tension stress due to bending and 54% of tensile yield for shear stresses.

Compressive stresses are not specifically addressed in the PBNP Table A.5-3.
However, for EPU, the AlSC Part 1 allowable compressive stress was used for the Normal and Upset loading conditions and 90% of the AlSC critical buckling stress was used for the Faulted loading condition.
b) See the NextEra response provided above for Item a).
EMCB RAI 27 For LR Table 2.2.3-3, please provide an explanation which demonstrates why, at EPU conditions, the primary plus secondary stress intensity range of some vessel internal components has been greatly reduced. Also, please explain, quantitatively, how the baffle-former bolts have been evaluated and qualified since the table does not contain a stress and fatigue usage summary for these components.
NextEra Response The components listed in Table 2.2.3-3 that were evaluated and shown to have reduced component primary plus secondary stress intensity range due to EPU conditions include:
- Upper Core Plate Alignment Pins
- Lower Support Columns
- Core Barrel Assembly Outlet Nozzle
- Lower Core Support Plate The current analysis of record is based on Westinghouse two-loop generic plant assessments and envelops most of the Westinghouse two-loop plants. As part of the PBNP EPU analyses, some of this conservatism in the generic analysis was removed using plant-specific inputs to obtain additional margin and demonstrate acceptability of the PBNP reactor internal components structural integrity. In general, stresses due to mechanical loads, such as OBE and vibrations, are not impacted for EPU conditions. The thermal analysis contained other limiting thermal transients, such as excessive feedwater and reactor coolant system (RCS) depressurization, that were used in generic two-loop design report and are not applicable to PBNP. These conservatisms were removed, and new thermal stresses were calculated. In addition, there are some geometrical differences in generic two-loop design compared to PBNP, which is the main reason for the reduction in primary plus secondary stress intensity range for some vessel internal components.
The test program for which the baffle former bolts were evaluated was performed in such a manner that the primary plus secondary stress check required by Subsection NG of the ASME Code is satisfied. In lieu of the cyclic stress requirements of Article NG-3222.4(e) of Subsection NG of the ASME Code, the test program was performed within the requirements of Article 11-1500 of ASME Code, Section Ill, Division I,Appendix II. This is permitted per Article NG-3222.4(a) of Section Ill, Subsection NG of the ASME Code. The basis for baffle-former bolt qualification is based on these test results rather than stress and fatigue qualification.
Page 38 of 41
The methodology used for baffle bolt fatigue is summarized as follows:
(I) The baffle plate temperature difference is generated using Westinghouse computer code TEMFOR.
(2) From the temperature difference, the baffle bolt displacements due to normal and upset conditions are calculated.
(3) The allowable cycles are determined based on displacement and cyclic data methodology developed for Westinghouse design plants for both normal and upset temperature differences.
(4) The cumulative baffle bolt fatigue usage is determined for all normal and upset transients except the loading and unloading normal transient.
(5) The allowable number of normal loading and unloading transient cycles is determined based on a maximum allowable bolt fatigue usage of 0.9999.
Based on the temperature difference and the average bolt displacement calculations, a bolt displacement of 0.016275 inch was obtained, and the limiting bolt location was above the pin displacement of Plate 3 at a temperature difference of 48.4"F. From this data, a limiting number of 8,240 upset transients were obtained for a cumulative fatigue usage of 0.9999.
The normal and upset transients calculated in this analysis gave a baffle bolt fatigue usage of 0.5825. The cumulative baffle bolt fatigue usage factor was set at a maximum of 0.9999. The remaining baffle bolt fatigue usage for loading and unloading transients is the difference of 0.9999 and 0.5825. NextEra determined that the maximum allowable transients for the loading and unloading transient cycles was 3,545 cycles, corresponding to a fatigue usage factor of 0.9999.
The results of this analysis confirmed that the baffle bolts remain acceptable as long as the number of loading and unloading transient cycles is limited to 3,545. This limitation is contained in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.6-1, Note 1.
EMCB RAI 28 Table 2.2.3-2 of the LR for the guide tubes provides a value of 266.0~10" in/in strain from measured strain data as an acceptable (or allowable) mean strain and 65.0xl0-~in/n for alternating dynamic strain. Please explain where the data that established these values originated from and why these values are applicable to the PBNP guide tubes.
NextEra Response The acceptable guide tube mean (static) and dynamic strain value of 266.0~10-~ inlin and 65.0x10-~inlin, respectively, were obtained using the stress and the fatigue allowable stress limits of the ASME Code Section Ill, Division 1, 1998 Edition with 2000 Addenda by converting it to the corresponding strain values.
Evaluations were performed to predict PBNP responses by using the in-plant prototype measurement from R.E. Ginna (Ginna). The scaling of structural response due to flow-induced vibration (FIV) was performed according to analytical and experimental formulations relating to such parameters as flow rates and temperature changes, which may affect the amplitude of the response, and consequently the maximum stress (strain) range. The scaling law is an approximation of the FIV forces independent of what the fluid dynamic source may be (i.e., laminar, flow-induced, cross-flow, turbulent, vortex shedding, steady-state, transient). The Page 39 of 41
scaling law was used to obtain corresponding guide tube responses due to FIV for PBNP and are provided in LAR 261, Attachment 5, Table 2.2.3-2. Since the guide tube design of PBNP Units 1 and 2 are identical to the Ginna guide tubes, the measured mean and dynamic strains obtained from Ginna are applicable to PBNP.
EMCB RAI 29 In Tables 2.2.3-1 and 2.2.3-2 of the LR, the current analyses of record (AOR) values originated from Ginna. Please explain where the "After EPU" column values originate from. Also, please provide an explanation of why, from all of the vessel internals components, only the guide tubes and the thermal shield top suppon' bolts and flexures have been evaluated for flow induced vibration.
NextEra Response The "After EPU" values for PBNP were calculated as part of the EPU project. These evaluations involved use of fully instrumented test data from a two-loop prototype plant (Ginna).
This data is representative of all two-loop plants, and from this data, the response of the PBNP reactor internals were scaled for the EPU operating conditions. The scaling of structural response due to FIV was performed according to analytical and experimental formulations relating to such parameters as flow rates and temperature changes, which may affect the amplitude of the response, and consequently, the maximum stress (strain) range. The scaling law is an approximation of the FIV forces independent of what the fluid dynamic source may be (i.e., laminar, flow-induced, cross-flow, turbulent, vortex shedding, steady-state, or transient).
Based on the analysis performed for PBNP, the reactor internals response due to FIV is small and well within the allowable based on the high-cycle fatigue endurance limit for the material.
Specific FIV evaluations are performed only for the guide tubes and the thermal shield top support bolts and flexures. The guide tubes are selected to ensure control rod insertion.
Therefore, it is necessary to show that the response due to FIV remains within acceptable limits.
The thermal shield top support block bolts and flexures are selected based on the thermal shield bolt failure in one of the three-loop plants that was observed in the past.
Strain gauge measurements on other key upper and lower internals, such as, lower support plate, lower support columns, lower radial support keys, upper core plate and upper core plate alignment pins were not taken during in-plant testing of Ginna. However, it has been shown in similar circumstances that the maximum stress due to FIV at the lower support columns and lower support plate for a Westinghouse three-loop plant were only 65 psi and 225 psi, respectively. Consequently, the stresses at these components due to FIV for PBNP would also be negligible for the EPU conditions.
Based on the above discussion, the guide tubes and the thermal shield top support bolts and flexures evaluated for PBNP Units 1 and 2 are reasonable. The evaluation results demonstrate that these components remain functional and structural integrity is maintained at EPU conditions in regards to FIV response of the reactor internal components.

NOTES:
( I ) The Design Margin is based on the ratio of EPU stress divided by the Allowable stress.
(2) The Equation Numbers shown correspond to ASME Section Ill, NCIND-3650 equation numbers.
(3) With respect to piping analyses containing stress interaction ratio greater than 0.90 for EPU conditions, it should be noted that the existing stress interaction ratio (for the same loading condition) for all these piping analyses, with the single exception of U l Main Steam Piping Inside Containment Loop A, are currently greater than 0.90. For example, the U2 Main Steam Piping Inside Containment Loop A, Equation 9C, has a reported stress interaction ratio of 0.95 based on the ratio of 29,984 (EPU stress) divided by 31,500 (allowable stress). The existing stress interaction ratio for this piping is 0.92 based on the ratio of 29,046 (current stress) divided by 31,500 (allowable stress). Hence, for this piping system, the actual stress increase resulting from EPU is insignificant. Additionally, all stress levels resulting in stress interaction ratio less than or equal to 1.0 are acceptable limits in accordance with USAS B31.Icode of record. The allowable stress levels for the USAS B31.Icode are stress levels that are well below material ultimate stress limits.

Table 7-8.10, Note 1:
It should be noted that the maximum "weight + thermal" Fx load for Thermal Cases 3 and 5 is I307 Ibs, which is greater than the indicated Fx allowable of 806 Ibs.
However, the corresponding "weight + thermal" Case 3 and 5 Fy and Fz loads, and Mx, My and Mz moments are significantly less than the indicated allowables. Also, the My and Mz loads are the governing loads with respect to the static evaluations for determining coupling misalignment acceptability. As such, these two thermal Fx loading conditions (i.e., Thermal Cases 3 and 5) are acceptable.
