LR-TR-543, GALL Gap Analysis (LR-TR-543/LRI-TR-001) At the time the licensee submitted their application for a renewed license, the NRC used Revision 1 of NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report." Since that time, the agency revised the NUREG incorporate (1) lessons learned from the reviews of previous license renewal applications, (2) operating experience obtained after the NRC issued Revision 1 to the GALL Report, and (3) other public input, including industry comments. On July 1, 2011, the NRC issued NRC Regulatory Issues Summary (RIS) 2011-05, "Information on Revision 2 to the Generic Aging Lessons Learned Report for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants," which describes the more noteworthy differences between the two revisions. Although the RIS does not require specific action or written response, this document highlights the value the NRC staff places on operating experience. It reminds licensees that the determination of the adequacy of AMPs is based, in part, on the applicant's consideration of, and its actions taken to address, both plant-specific and industry operating experience. The licensee entered the RIS into their corrective action program as LRI-TR-001 to evaluate the impact on the current AMPs. The inspectors noted the licensee only addressed the issues specifically identified in the RIS but did not perform a review of other differences between the revisions. After further discussion, the licensee initiated AR 01438469, "Some Aging Management Programs Not Considering GALL Revision 2," to evaluate any inconsistencies or gaps that could warrant changes to the AMPs based on this operating experience. | 34.

The inspectors reviewed the licensing and program basis documents, ARs, and work orders documenting the inspection results and additional actions. No concerns were identified during this inspection. | |||
Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 41, 42, and 44. | |||
37. Commitment Item 43, Diesel Generator Hose Replacement Commitment Item 43 states the licensee would implement a Diesel Generator Hose Replacement Program prior to the period of extended operation. | |||
License Renewal (LR) Commitment 43, "Replace DG Rubber Hoses," was created to ensure procedures are in place to require the periodic replacement of rubber hoses in contact with fuel oil and lube oil environments. During a previous inspection as documented in Inspection Report 05000306/2012005 | |||
-03 (ML13038A671), the inspectors identified a non | |||
-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III for the licensee's failure to establish measures for the review for suitability the use of rubber hoses beyond the vendor recommended service life. Specifically, several hoses in the D5 and D6 emergency diesel generators and in the diesel driven fire pump had been installed beyond the vendor recommended service life of 10 | |||
-years without further evaluation of acceptability. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as CAP 1361849, evaluated the installed hoses condition, and replaced or scheduled the replacement of hoses installed longer than the recommended service interval. | |||
During this inspection effort, the inspectors reviewed program basis documents, periodic replacement procedures, vendor manuals, work orders, and associated ARs and interviewed plant personnel responsible for this program. The inspectors verified the program requirements for this commitment were complete. The inspectors also verified the licensee implemented actions to periodically replace rubber flexible hoses exposed to fuel oil or lubricating oil internal environments in the emergency diesel generators, their support systems, and in the 122 diesel driven fire pump. | |||
No additional concerns were identified during this inspection. | |||
Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Item 43. | |||
38. Commitment Items 45 and 46, Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program The Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program is an existing program that manages the aging effects of steam generator tubes, tube repairs, and accessible steam generator secondary side internal components. Incorporating the guidance of NEI 97-06, the program manages aging effects through a balance of mitigation, inspection, evaluation, repair, and leakage monitoring measures. | |||
Commitment Item 45 states the performance of an inspection of each original Unit 2 steam generator to assess the condition of the divider plates and associated welds if they are not replaced prior to entry into the period of extended operation | |||
. Commitment Item 46 states the performance of a one | |||
-time inspection sample of tube | |||
-to-tube-sheet welds in each Unit 1 steam generator to determine if primary water stress corrosion cracking is present. The inspections are to be performed during the first Unit 1 refueling outage after the steam generators have reached 20 years of service. | |||
The inspectors reviewed the program basis document, implementing procedures, completed work orders and ARs associated with this program. | |||
With respect to Commitment Item 45, the licensee did replace the Unit 2 steam generators; therefore, no additional action is required for this commitment. No concerns were identified during this inspection. | |||
Based on review of the timeliness and adequacy of the licensee's actions, the inspectors determined the licensee met Commitment Items 45 and 46. | |||
39. LR-TR-543, GALL Gap Analysis (LR | |||
-TR-543/LRI-TR-001) At the time the licensee submitted their application for a renewed license, the NRC used Revision 1 of NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report | |||
." Since that time, the agency revised the NUREG incorporate (1) lessons learned from the reviews of previous license renewal applications, (2) operating experience obtained after the NRC issued Revision 1 to the GALL Report, and (3) other public input, including industry comments. On July 1, 2011, the NRC issued NRC Regulatory Issues Summary (RIS) 2011-05, "Information on Revision 2 to the Generic Aging Lessons Learned Report for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants," which describes the more noteworthy differences between the two revisions. Although the RIS does not require specific action or written response, this document highlights the value the NRC staff places on operating experience. It reminds licensees that the determination of the adequacy of AMPs is based, in part, on the applicant's consideration of, and its actions taken to address, both plant | |||
-specific and industry operating experience. | |||
The licensee entered the RIS into their corrective action program as LRI-TR-001 to evaluate the impact on the current AMPs. The inspectors noted the licensee only addressed the issues specifically identified in the RIS but did not perform a review of other differences between the revisions. After further discussion, the licensee initiated AR 01438469, "Some Aging Management Programs Not Considering GALL Revision 2," to evaluate any inconsistencies or gaps that could warrant changes to the AMPs based on this operating experience. | |||

a. Inspection Scope
(1) Review of Newly Identified Structures, Systems, and Components The inspectors discussed the identification of newly identified Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) under the purview of 10 CFR 54.37(b), with the licensee's license renewal staff. The licensee performed a review of engineering changes and the site component database to identify SSCs, which had not previously been screened for license renewal applicability. In their letter dated November 20, 2012 (ML12335A135), pursuant with 10 CR 54.37(b), the licensee stated 592 SSCs were found to be subject to aging management requirements and therefore were considered "newly identified" SSCs. The inspectors confirmed all newly identified components had been assigned to existing Agin g Management Programs (AMPs) and appropriate aging management strategies had been invoked to detect and manage the applicable aging effects throughout the period of extended operation. The inspectors verified the list of newly identified SSCs were included as an enclosure to the Updated Safety Analysis Reports (USAR) updates issued November 20, 2012 and June 27, 2014
, (ML14203A383). The inspectors did not identify any deficiencies.
(2) Review of Updated Safety Analysis Report and Commitment Change Process As part of reviewing the AMPs associated with the commitments, the inspectors reviewed the USAR descriptions to confirm the implemented programs were consistent with the USAR descriptions.
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures to ensure that commitment revisions would follow the guidance in NEI 99
-04, Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes, including the elimination of commitments, and would properly evaluate, approve, and report changes to license renewal commitments listed in the USAR, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. The inspectors reviewed each change associated with the commitment as noted in the next section.
No disparities were identified with respect to implementation.
(3) Review of Commitments The inspectors reviewed supporting documents including completed surveillance records and conducted interviews to verify the licensee completed the necessary actions to comply with the license conditions that are a part of the renewed operating license.

-TR-543/LRI-TR-001) At the time the licensee submitted their application for a renewed license, the NRC used Revision 1 of NUREG-1801, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report
." Since that time, the agency revised the NUREG incorporate (1) lessons learned from the reviews of previous license renewal applications, (2) operating experience obtained after the NRC issued Revision 1 to the GALL Report, and (3) other public input, including industry comments. On July 1, 2011, the NRC issued NRC Regulatory Issues Summary (RIS) 2011-05, "Information on Revision 2 to the Generic Aging Lessons Learned Report for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants," which describes the more noteworthy differences between the two revisions. Although the RIS does not require specific action or written response, this document highlights the value the NRC staff places on operating experience. It reminds licensees that the determination of the adequacy of AMPs is based, in part, on the applicant's consideration of, and its actions taken to address, both plant
-specific and industry operating experience.
The licensee entered the RIS into their corrective action program as LRI-TR-001 to evaluate the impact on the current AMPs. The inspectors noted the licensee only addressed the issues specifically identified in the RIS but did not perform a review of other differences between the revisions. After further discussion, the licensee initiated AR 01438469, "Some Aging Management Programs Not Considering GALL Revision 2," to evaluate any inconsistencies or gaps that could warrant changes to the AMPs based on this operating experience.
b. Findings and Observations
The inspectors identified two observations of minor significance as documented above.
