The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon or the applicant), held a telephone conference call on May 12, 2014, to discuss and clarify the following draft request for additional information (DRAI), Set 26, concerning the Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, and the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, license renewal application (LRA).

DRAI 3.1.1.80-1a

Applicability

Byron and Braidwood

Background

By letter dated March 28, 2014, the applicant responded to RAI 3.1.1.80-1, which addressed LRA item 3.1.1-80. This LRA item states that the Water Chemistry program and One-Time Inspection program are used to manage cracking due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) for stainless steel or steel with stainless steel pressurizer relief tanks (none-ASME-Section-XI tank shells, heads, flanges and nozzles) exposed to treated borated water > 60°C (>140°F). LRA item 3.1.1-80 corresponds to NUREG-1800, "Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants" (SRP-LR), Table 3.1-1, item 80, which contains Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report item IV.C2.RP-383.

Issue: During its review of the applicant's response to RAI 3.1.1.80-1 and related information, the staff noted that LRA Table 3.1.2-1 for the reactor coolant system does not include a specific AMR line item for GALL Report item IV.C2.RP-383 to manage cracking due to SCC of pressurizer relief tanks in accordance with LRA item 3.1.1-80. Therefore, the staff cannot determine how the applicant will manage cracking due to SCC of pressurizer relief tanks.

Request:

Clarify why LRA Table 3.1.2-1 does not include a specific AMR line item which manages cracking due to SCC of stainless steel or steel with stainless steel pressurizer relief tanks using LRA item 3.1.1-80. Alternatively, revise the LRA to identify an AMR line item which is associated with LRA item 3.1.1-80 to manage cracking due to SCC for these components.

Discussion

The applicant requested clarity on the staff's concern. The applicant informed the staff that the explanation for not including the pressurizer relief tanks was listed in the updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR). After further review of the UFSAR, the staff agreed that this information was docketed and made the determination to withdraw this question. This question will not be sent as part of the formal request. DRAI 3.1.1.81-1a Applicability
Byron and Braidwood

Background

By letter dated March 28, 2014, the applicant responded to RAI 3.1.1.81-1, which addressed LRA item 3.1.1-81. This LRA item states that the Water Chemistry program and One-Time Inspection program are used to manage cracking due to SCC for stainless steel pressurizer spray heads exposed to reactor coolant. LRA item 3.1.1-81 corresponds to SRP-LR Table 3.1-1, item 81, which contains GALL Report item IV.C2.RP-41.

Issue:

During its review of the applicant's response and related information, the staff noted that LRA Table 3.1.2-1 for the reactor coolant system does not include a specific aging management review (AMR) line item for GALL Report item IV.C2.RP-41, which manages cracking due to SCC of stainless steel pressurizer spray heads in accordance with LRA item 3.1.1-81. Therefore, the staff cannot determine how the applicant will manage cracking due to SCC of pressurizer spray heads.

Request: Clarify why LRA Table 3.1.2-1 does not include a specific AMR line item which manages cracking due to SCC of stainless steel pressurizer spray heads using LRA item 3.1.1-81.

Alternatively, revise the LRA to identify an AMR line item which is associated with LRA item 3.1.1-81 to manage cracking due to SCC for these components.

Discussion

The applicant requested clarity on the staff's concern. No edits were proposed. This question will be sent as part of the formal request titled: "RAI 3.1.1.81-1a."
