License Renewal Application (LRA),
Section 4.2.4 Page 1 of 1 Supplemental Question RAI 4.2.4-1 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff initiated a telephone conference call with FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) on May 21, 2013, to discuss the FENOC supplemental response to NRC request for additional information (RAI) 4.2.4-1 submitted by FENOC letter dated November 2, 2012 (ML12311A024).
In LRA Sections and 4.2.4 and A.2.2.4, a list of the 60-year reactor vessel beltline materials is provided. The NRC staff identified a concern that, due to plant modifications in the future (e.g., power uprate), other materials could experience 52 effective full power years (EFPY) inside surface fluence greater than 1.0E17 neutrons per centimeter squared (n/cm 2 ).
FENOC proposed a wording change to LRA Sections 4.2.4 and A.2.2.4 to read as follows (deleted text is lined-out and added text is underlined):
The 60-year reactor vessel beltline materials are those listed below as feGlows-plus any other that could experience 52 EFPY inside surface fluence greater than 1.0E17 n/cm2 .
Following discussions, both parties agreed that FENOC would submit a supplemental response to RAI 4.2.4-1 to incorporate the proposed changes into LRA Sections 4.2.4 and A.2.2.4, both titled "Pressure-Temperature Limits."
SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE RAI 4.2.4-1 LRA Sections 4.2.4 and A.2.2.4 are revised to address the NRC identified concern that, due to plant modifications in the future (e.g., power uprate), other materials beyond those listed could experience 52 EFPY inside surface fluence greater than 1.0E1 7 n/cm 2 .
