At least one heat exchanger of each type, material and environment combination will be included in the sample population. This ensures that potential impacts of different design, material and environment combinationswill be addressed.

This requires a change to the LRA.

LRA Section 8.1.15, attribute 4, Detection of Aging Effects, is revised as follows (bold words added).

4. Detection of Aging Effects [Note: all of this line bolded, database doesn't support bolding]

Loss of material is the aging effect managed by this program. Representative tubes within the sample population of heat exchangers will be eddy current tested at a frequency determined by internal and external operating experience to ensure that effects of aging are identified prior to loss of intended function.

Visual inspectionsof accessible heat exchangers will be performed on the same frequency as eddy current inspections.

An appropriate sample populationof heat exchangers will be determined based on operating experience prior to inspections.The sample population of heat exchangers will be determined based on the materials of constructionof the heat exchanger tubes and the associated environments as well as the type of heat exchanger (for example, shell and tube type). At least one heat exchanger of each type, material and environment combination will be included in the sample population.

Only three examples meeting these criteria were found and all three were given to the NRC on Monday 10/2/2006. The reports were:

1. CR-PNP-2005-01982-identified a W crack and %" linear indication on lug fillet welds.

2. CR PNP-2005-01839 identified a loose nut.

3. PR99.1296-wear observed on pipe OD where it rubs on a support.

The IS1 engineer noted that the susceptible 304 SS Class I system piping was replaced in 1985, and most of the Class I systems are SS. As a consequence, the IS1 program identifies few if any aging problems in Class I piping. IS1 is a proven and industry accepted method for identifying aging effects in Class I piping systems.

It is used as a verify the oil is suitable for continued use. In screening tool to identify the presence of addition, analytical ferrography and elemental moisture, abnormal wear products, and analysis are performed to identify wear particles. changes in oil chemistry associated with The PNPS oil analysis program appears to be thermal degradation.

First weeks inspection debrief item. NUREG-1801 XI.M39, LubricatingOil Analysis, Parameters Monitored/lnspected states, For components with periodic oil changes in accordance with manufacturers recommendations, a particle count and check for water are performed to detect evidence of abnormal wear rates, contaminationby moisture, or excessive corrosion. For components that do not have regular oil changes, viscosity, neutralization number, and flash point are also determined to verify the oil is suitable for continued use. In addition, analytical ferrography and elemental analysis are performed to identify wear particles.

Analytical ferrography and elemental analysis are diagnostic tools used to identify wear particles if the particle count is high.

Therefore, for components that do not have regular oil changes NUREG-1801 recommends that the following parameters be monitored on a regular basis.

1. particle count

2. water content

3. viscosity

4. neutralizationnumber

5. flash point As the screening tool identifies the presence of moisture, abnormal wear products, and changes in viscosity, the first three parameters are monitored on a regular basis at PNPS. If off-site analysis is necessary following the Thursday, October 05, 2006 5:15:02 P

screening, the samples are analyzed for neutralizationnumber and fuel dilution in addition to the other parameters. The PNPS program is not strictly consistent with NUREG-1801 because neutralizationnumber and flash point (or fuel dilution See Note 1) are not monitored for every oil sample. This inconsistencyis justified because the parameters monitored regularly (presence of moisture, abnormal wear products, and changes in viscosity) are those directly related to age-related degradationof components containing lube oil. As noted in the Mechanical Tools , aging effects are not observed in fuel oil and lubricatingoil systems unless moisture or other contaminants are present. Therefore, continuous monitoring and trending of particle count, water content and viscosity in lubricating oil provides reasonable assurance that the effects of aging will be managed such that applicable components will continue to perform their intended function consistent with the current licensing basis for the period of extended operation.

(Note 1. As indicated in LRA Amendment 5, PNPS measures the % fuel dilution in diesel engine oils which is a more acurate method than flash point for identifying fuel leaks and oil dilution.)

This requires an amendment to the LRA.

LRA Section 8.1.22 is amended as follows (underlined words added, strike-outs deleted)

NUREG-1801 Consistency The Oil Analysis Program at PNPS is consistent with the program described in NUREG-1801,Section XI.M39, LubricatingOil Analysis, with exceptions and enhancements.

1. Analyses of filter residue or particle count, viscosity, total acidbase (neutralization number), water content, and metals content provide sufficient information to verify the oil is suitable for continued use.

2. The parameters monitored regularly (presence of moisture, abnormal wear products, and changes in viscosity) are those directly related to age-related degradation of components containing lube oil. As noted in the Mechanical Tools, aging effects are not observed in fuel oil and lubricating oil systems unless moisture or other contaminants are present. Therefore, continuous monitoring and trending of particle count, water content and viscosity in lubricating oil provides reasonable assurance that effects of aging will be managed such that applicable components will continue to perform their intendedfunction consistent with the current licensing basis for the period of extended operation.

The previous successful test of the alarm was in 2003. RFO 15 was in spring of 2005. Assuming the alarm was failed during RF015, leakage, if any, would have been indicated at the W tell-tale drains described in Item 2.

2. A W tell-tale drain indicates leakage into each of four 8 casings that surround the 2 refueling bellows cavity drains. Blockage of the 3 drain line described in Item 1 allows leakage to enter the 8 casing where it would be indicated by leakage from the W tell-tale drain at a funnel on Elevation 74. These drains exist at four locations. During daily tours, operators have never detected leakage from these tell-tale drains.

3. Top of sand pocket drain. If leakage is not detected from the W tell-tale drains before the four 8 casings fill up and water rises above the % thick form plate that surrounds the ledge, leakage can overflow into the air gap.

A sheet metal plate shields the top of the sand pocket against leakage from above. A series of four 4 drain lines direct water from the top of the sheet metal plate to the torus room floor at Elevation -17. Operators monitor for abnormal conditions during rounds. These drains are also checked by IS1 VT-2 certified inspectors for leakage twice every refuel outage, once after flooding up and again prior to flooding down. No leakage has ever been detected from these drains at PNPS.

4. Sand pocket drains. Drains at the bottom of the sand pocket remove leakage, if any, that enters the sand pocket. Because the drain lines are filled with sand at the sand pocket, visual verification that the lines were unobstructedcould not be done.

The air dryer and nonsafety-relatedcomponents within the compressor are not listed as being in scope for structural boundary that are required to nonsafety attached to safety. Since a bounding provide structural support to the safety-related approach was used should the dryer and pressure boundary. The second approach is compressor have been included? to use the bounding approach from NE1 95-10 Appendix F if the structural boundary cannot be identified. At PNPS the structural boundary is quite often indicated on Piping and Instrument drawings thru the use of seismic class 1 boundary flags. These flags indicate the end of the seismic class 1 evaluation such that components downstream are not required to provide structural support.

If these flags were not provided then the bounding approach was used to ensure the first seismic anchor was included.

On LRA drawing LRA-M-220 sheet 2 at G- 7 there is a seismic class 1 boundary flag at valve 31-HO-507 that indicates that the components downstream of this flag are not required to provide structural support. This would include the air dryer and compressor.

4. Pilgrim Torus Interior Coating The date of application of the existing coating is approximately 1981. Carbo Zinc 1 1, as manufactured by Carboline, is a self- curing inorganic zinc primer. The coating acts to sacrificially protect the submerged surfaces on the interior of the Torus, should the coating become breached.

Pilgrim applies an inspection and repair program to the Torus interior coating. The inspectionprogram monitors the condition of the protective coating. With the inspection and repair of failed local areas of Torus coating the expected service life of the coating is not currently limited to a specific time value Thursday, October 05,2006 5:15:02 P

but, by virtue of the ability of inorganic zinc to form a passive oxide layer, could reasonably be expected to last 30 to 60 years.

Corrosion defects of limited depth (pits) may be directly repaired in accordance with a qualified underwater repair system. If the corrosion defects exceed a pre set value they require evaluation under the Corrective Action Process as well as repair. The corrective action process will determine the appropriate evaluation and resolution of conditions that exceed limited depth conditions.

Application of an inspection and repair program assures that the Torus will be maintained in accordance with the design requirements and perform acceptably in service.

5. Coating

Description:

The immersed coating, in the Torus, is Carbo-zinc 11, a sacrificial coating, manufactured by Carboline. The dry film coating is comprised of 86% zinc, in the form of flakes, held together by a resin binder, which orient themselves parallel to the steel surface. In immersionservice, a zinc salt (zinc oxide) layer forms on the wetted surface of the coating, which is a very tenacious protective barrier, and seals the wetted surface. A properly applied coating over a properly prepared steel substrate, will last a long time in immersion service. Failure of the coating to protect the steel occurs when the zinc pigments no longer maintain an electrolytic coupling to the steel, or are depleted. The fact that the water in the torus is de-ionized means that it is less chemically aggressive toward the zinc, and improves the longevity of the coating.

Coating DegradationMechanisms:

When the zinc salt layer is subjected to mechanical damage, the outer layer of zinc depletes away and the next lower layer forms a new protective barrier of the zinc salt.

Opportunities for corrosion to form include:

Mechanical damage, which exposes the underlying steel substrate to oxygen in the water.

Improper surface preparation, such as failure Thursday, October 05,2006 5:l 502 P PagB300?35@

lfem Request Response lnspecfor Lead Category Update?

to completely remove any existing oxidation or prior coatings, before the new coating application.

Improper maintenance of the prepared surface, which allows oxidation to form prior to coating.

Improper coating application, which results in pinhole-size voids in the coating, through which water and oxygen can make contact with the steel.

INFORMATION ON TORUS COATING The as-found condition of the torus shell as of RFO-12 and RFO-14 contained the following types, and surface areas, of degradation:

DEGRADATION MECHANISM - RFO 12 DEGRADED SURFACE AREA RFO 14 -

DEGRADED SURFACE AREA Localized Corrosion and Mechanical Damage - 164 sq. ft/4228 Locations -E159 sq.

ft 6438 Locations Tiger Striping 386 sq. ft - 391 sq. ft Coating Rust Through - 407 Locations - 482 Locations Total as-found corrosion area 550 sq. ft. -

550 sq. ft.

Repaired corrosion area - 41.75 sq. ft. - 56.74 sq. ft.

This data shows that the as-found degraded surface area during RFO 12 was about the same as the as-found degraded surface area during RFO 14. One notable observation is that the number of locations, where degradation was found, increased by approximately 50%.

At the beginning of RFO 12, the average Dry Film Thickness (DFT) of the coating was approximately 7.0 mils (minl max 3.1 / 15 mils). RFO 14 data indicates an unappreciable reduction in DFT.

The threshold for coating repairs is any pitting corrosion identified, in the base metal of the vessel that exceed 32 mils in depth. During RFO 12, after desludging, 1 1 0 pits were found 833 Thursday, October 05, 2006 31502 P eir37Of35

/tern Request Response Inspector Lead Category Update?

that exceeded 32 mils. During RFO 12, 840 repairs were made. The repairs were made to the pits that exceeded 32 mils and where areas of rust through of the inorganic zinc coating were identified directly adjacent to underwater epoxy repairs applied during previous outages. Because surplus time was available after the required repairs were completed, additional repairs were made, to other corroded areas where the pits did not exceed 32 mils in depth. This resulted in a total coating repair of 41.75 square feet.

During RFO 14, after desludging, 63 pits were found that exceeded 32 mils. This reduction in identified pitting was attributed to the extra repairs made during RFO 12. During RFO 14, 504 repairs were made. This resulted in a total coating repair of 56.74 square feet. This time, the repairs were confined only to pits that exceeded 32 mils and where areas of rust through of the inorganic zinc coating was identifieddirectly adjacent to underwater epoxy repairs applied during previous outages. There was no surplus time to make additional repairs during RFO 14.

6. The torus coating is 100% inspected every 2nd refuelingoutage. The coating was last inspected durnig RFOl4.

7. See response to subpart question 5 above.

This requires an amendment to the LRA and will be a new commitment to enhance the PNPS program.

LR REQUEST LR# 5 69 NRC Inspector OHara, Tim LR Text The buried piping and tanks inspection program in section 4.b contains a statement that Prior to entering the period of extended operation , plant operating experience will be reviewed to verify that an inspection occurred within the past ten years. No explanation is provided as to what will be done if an inspection has not occurred prior to the period of extended operation.

First weeks inspection debrief item.

LR Response This statement was meant to indicate verification that an inspection occurred within the ten years prior to entering the period of extended operation. If an opportunistic inspection did not occur, a focused inspection would be performed prior to the period of extended operation. This point will be clarified by inserting the following after the third sentence of Section 3.1 .B.4.b of LWD-02.

If an inspection did not occur, a focused inspection will be performed prior to the period of extended operation.

Three examples believed best met the criteria were given to the NRC on Monday October 2, 2006 A review of every IS1 and CR report for the last ten years was performed to find instances of IS1 inspections identifying aging issues in Class I systems. Only three examples meeting these criteria were found and all three were given to the NRC on Monday 10/2/2006. The reports were:

1. CR-PNF-2005-01982- identified a W crack and W linear indication on lug fillet welds.

2. CR PNF-2005-01839 identified a loose nut.

3. PR99.1296-wear observed on pipe OD where it rubs on a support.

The IS1 engineer noted that the susceptible 304 S S Class I system piping was replaced in 1985, and most of the Class I systems are SS. As a consequence, the IS1 program identifies few if any aging problems in Class I piping. IS1 is a proven and industry accepted method for identifying aging effects in Class I piping systems.
