This Program Plan was developed and prepared to meet the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda, and 1 OCFR50.55a for Class 1, 2, and 3 systems. This Program Plan is subject to the conditions of 10CFR50.55a(b)(2), except design and access provisions and preservice examination requirements.
This Plan identifies those components and/or systems and their supports that are subject to examination and testing. Wh.ere applicable, ASME Code Cases are incorporated.
The Code Cases used are either approved through publication in 10CFR50.55a, NRC Regulatory Guide 1.147, or are included in a Relief Request Other alternatives to the Code requirements have been included as relief requests, or they reference specific NRC regulations.
Areas where Code compliance is not possible are also . included as Relief Requests, along with proposed alternatives.
The ISi Programs for Containment, lnservice Pressure Tests, and Snubber Examinations are covered under separate plant documents.
General requirements for these programs are included.
* for completeness. . . . . . . . Additional requirements for augmented examinations are addressed.
The ISi Program does not require these examinations; however, due to the nature of the augmented requirements, these programs have been included and administered at the request of the plant.

* Introduction Duane Arnold is a General Electric Mark 1 Boiling Water Reactor. NextEra Energy Resources, LLC (NextEra) is the Owner of Record. The commercial operation date for Duane Arnold was February 1, 1975. 1.1 ISi Program Plan Development This document details the lnservice Inspection Plan of Class 1, 2, and 3 components for the Fifth 10-Year lnservice Inspection Interval for Duane Arnold. The schedule of examinations is in the ISi component database.
The IDDEAL management system is used to develop and track the outage schedule.
The isometrics used for locations of welds during examinations are located at the Duane Arnold site. The schedule and isometrics are separate controlled documents.
lnservice examination of components and system pressure tests conducted during successive 120-month inspection intervals must comply with the requirements of the latest edition and* addenda of the Code incorporated by reference in 1 OCFR50.55a 12 months prior to the start of the 120-month inspection interval.
These requirements are subject. to the limitations and modifications listed within 1 OCFR50.55a.
This Program Plan reflects the lnservice Inspection requirements of ASME Section XI, 2007 Edition through 2008 Addenda as modified by 1 OCFR50.55a.
 
===1.2 Other===
ISi Programs This document does not address every aspect of lnsenlice Inspection.
The following text details the examinati'on and testing requirements of those components and parts covered by other documents.
1.2.1
* lnservice Testing Program (IST.) The program for lnservice Testing of Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Pumps and Valves is covered by the Duane Arnold lnservice Testing (IST) Program, which is submitted and approved separately.
 
====1.2.2 Snubber====
Program The program for the examination and testing of safety-related snubbers is addressed by Duane Arnold plant procedures.
 
====1.2.3 Pressure====
Test Program The program for lnservice System Pressure Testing of ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 components and systems is addressed in a separate document.
12 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan 1.2.4 Repair and Replacement Program Revision 1 January 27, 2017 The Repair and Replacement Program for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 component and systems, Class MC and CC are addressed by Duane Arnold plant procedures.
 
====1.2.5 Metal====
Containment lnservice Inspection Program (IWE) The DAEC 2nd Interval Containment Inspection Plan controls the examination of Containment Building under Subsection IWE and is administered separately.
* 1.3 Construction Permit The Construction permit for Duane Arnold was issued on June 1968. 1.4 Commercial Service Dates The Operating License for Duane Arnold was issued in January 1974. The Commercial Service Date for Duane Arnold was February 1, 1975 .. 1.5 Background The United States of America Standards (USAS) used for the original design *and construction of DAEC were B31.1 (1967), Code for Power Piping, and B31.7 (1969 Edition with the 1970/1971 Addenda), Code for Nuclear Power Piping. The "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plant Construction Permits" was published for comment in the Federal Register in July 1967. The final version of these design criteria was not incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations*
(1 OCFR50, Appendix A) until February 1971; approximately the same time that the DAEC FSAR was submitted to the NRC. The license for DAEC is based, in part, on design and construction of the plant to USAS B31.1, USAS B31.7, and the interpretation of t.he intent of the Draft General Design Criteria published in July 1967. The initial Duane Arnold ISi program was based on the ASME Boiler *and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code, Section XI, 1970 Edition. This program was submitted as part of the original FSAR (Appendix J), which was accepted by the NRC. However, the inspection rules and requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code, Section XI, 1970 Edition were minimal and have ch.anged significantly since then. Federal regulations require that ISi programs be updated, to the exterit practical, to comply with the inspection and testing requirements of the edition and addenda of the ASME Code incorporated by reference in 1 OCFR50.55a one year prior to the start of each ten-year inspection interval.
 
====1.5.1 Preservice====
 
Inspection.
The Class 1 Preservice Inspection was conducted in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code, Section XI, 1970 Edition. The Class 2 'preservice inspection was not performed because it was not required at that stage of Duane Arnold's construction when it would have been used. For these components, shop and in-plant examinations records of components and welds will . be used . for comparison with lnservice Inspection data.

1.6.1.10 Implementation of IWA-2220, "Surface Examination" that allows the use of an ultrasonic examination method to perform a surface examination, is prohibited by 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xxii).
1.6.1.11 The mandatory
*condition in 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xxiii);
which prohibits use of the provisions for eliminating mechanical processing of thermally cut surfaces .in IWA-4461.4.2 of Section XI, 2001 Edition through the latest edition arid addenda incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(1 )(ii), will be included in the Duane Arnold Section XI Repair/Replacement Program. 1.6.1.12 The mandatory condition in 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xxv), which prohibits use of the provisions in IWA-4340, "Mitigation of Defects by Modification;" Section XI, 2001 Edition through the latest edition and addenda incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(1 )(ii), will be included in the Duane Arnold Section XI 17 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Repair/Replacement Program. Revision 1 January 27, 2017 1.6.1.13 The mandatory condition in 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xxvi), iri which the repair and replacement activity provisions in IWA-4540(c) of the ASME Section XI 1998 Edition for pressure testing Class 1, 2, and 3 mechanical joints must be applied when using the 2001 Edition through the latest edition and addenda incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(1)(ii).
This is included *in the Duane Arnold Section XI Repair/Replacement Program . . 1.6.1.14 As required by 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xxviii), Duane Arnold will use the stated conditions when implementing Equation 2 in ASME Section XI, Appendix A-4300(b)(1).
1.6.1.15 As required by 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xxix), Duane Arnold will submit a relief request to apply a Risk-Informed lnservice Inspection Programs*
in accordance with ASME Section XI Nonmandatory Appendix R during the Fifth Interval.
1.6.1.16 As required by 10CFR50.55a(b)(3)(v), Duane Arnold will use Article IWF-5000, "lnservice Inspection Requirements for Snubbers," of ASME Section XI, when performing inservice inspection examinations and tests of snubbers.
Duane* Arnold will also comply with second provision (b)(3)(v)(B), which states that Licensees must comply with the provisions for examining and testing of snubbers in Subsection ISTD of the ASME OM Code and appropriate changes to their technical specifications or license-controlled documents when using the 2006 Addenda and later editions and addenda of.ASME Section XI. 1. 7 System Classification . . During subsequent revisions of the ISi program, other safety-related systems were added to the ISi program and ASME Code Class designations were assigned to *establish the examination boundaries and define the required inspections and tests for the associated components.
Systems, or portions of systems, were considered
.. safety-related if they were determined to mitigate the consequences of an accident based on the analyses contained in Section 15 of the UFSAR. Although the
* General Electric Design Classifications do not directly correlate to ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3, and NRC Quality Groups A, B, C, and D of Regulatory Guide 1.26, they were used as the basis for establishing the ASME Section XI examination boundaries.
For the purposes of ISi, the DAEC Safety Class (SC) I safety-related components were designated ASME Section XI Code Class 1, the SC II related components were designated ASME Section XI Code Class 2, and the SC Ill safety-related components were designated ASME Section XI Code Class 3. The DAEC D+QA systems, including both safety-related
*and nonsafety-related systems, (except the Main Steam lines outside MSIV to Stop valves, *and portions of the Emergency Service Water piping) were generally designated Non-Code Class. Because Duane Arnold was designed and constructed prior to the issuance, of Regulatory Guide 1.26 (safety guide 26) and NUREG-0800, these documents were not used to establish the original ASME Section XI examination boundaries, however, in accordance with the requirements of ASME Section XI 1974 Edition 18 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 27, 2017 through Summer 75 Addenda, IWA-1000 footnote 2, these guidance documents were used during the first 10-Year ISi Program update. Duane Arnold has formally committed to the use of either Regulatory Guide 1.26 or NUREG-0800, Section 3.2.2. The Duane Arnold ISi Program for the fifth 10-Year lnservice Inspection Interval will continue to employ Regulatory Guide 1.26, NUREG-0800 and other approved American Nuclear Society guidance documents to determine the applicability of component inspections and to determine examination boundaries.
The Duane Arnold UFSAR was used for guidance and provides the basis for establishing the app_licable system safety classifications contained in this document.
 
====1.7.1 Optional====
Construction Optional construction of a component within a system boundary to a classification higher than the minimum class established in the component design specification does not affect the overall system classification by which the applicable rules of ASME Section XI are determined.
 
====1.7.2 Containment====
 
Penetrations Portions of piping penetrating the containment vessel which are required to be constructed to Class 1 or 2 rules for piping, and which may differ from the classification of the balance of the piping system, may not affect the overall system classification that determ.ines the applicable rules of ASME Section XI. 1.7.3 Class MC Components 1 OCFR50.55a was amended, effective November 22, 1999, to address the requirements of ISi of metal containment buildings.
The DAEC 2nd Ten Year . Containment Inspection Plan defines the classification of the areas to be examined.
 
===1.8 Inspection===
 
Program Plan Examinations for Class 1, 2, and 3 components and their supports are scheduled in accordance with the lnservice Inspection Program. This incorporates the criteria of IWB-2411, IWC-2411, IWD-2411, IWF-2410 and Tables IWB-2411-1, IWC-2411-1, IWD-2411-1 and IWF-2410-1 for the examination of Class 1, 2, and 3 components and their supports, respectively.
Examinations are scheduled based upon previous 10-Year Intervals; to the extent practical and within the limits of IWB-2420(a), IWC-2420(a), IWD-2420(a) and IWF-2420(a).
In order to be consistent in determining compliance with the applicable Code required examination completion percentages, NeXtEra Energy chooses to multiply the number of examination areas by the minimum or maximum percentages of the Inspection Program and then round to the nearest whole number. The result is the number NextEra Energy uses for determining how many welds, components, or supports that will be examined each period to meet Code requirements A listing of Duane Arnold Class 1, 2 and 3 components, component supports and their relevant ISi related details subject to examination, are maintained and updated on an ongoing basis in the Duane Arnold ISi database.
19 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 27, 2017 The ISi component database management system (IDDEAL) is used to develop and track the outage schedule and satisfies the requirements of IWA-2420(b)(1) through (6), respectively.
The 5th Interval Duane Arnold ISi database provides the data for the lnservice Inspection Schedule Tables for examination of the major components for Duane Arnold. This database includes tables with descriptions of each component subject to examination, the required ASME Code references, and any other pertinent information that is useful for determining examination requirements.

23 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan 1.13 Successive Examinations Revision 1 January 27, 2017 The sequence of component examinations will be modified in accordance with the requirements of ASME Section XI, IWB-2420(a), IWC-2420(a), IWD-2420(a) and IWF-2420(a).
This allows NextEra Energy to alter the sequence of examinations to allow the examination of several components in an area during one outage instead of over several outages. This will reduce costs and radiation exposure.
The percentage requirements of IWB-2411, IWC-2411, IWD-2411, and IWF-2410 will be satisfied.
The examination schedule is designed to optimize the performance of work within the plant to reduce radiation dose, eliminate interference with other work, and reduce costs. 1.14 NOE Examinations and Personnel Qualification/Certification All NOE will be performed in accordance with the requirements of ASME Section XI, 2007 Edition through the 2008 Addenda with the following modifications as required by 10CFR50.55a.
1.14.1 Alternative Examinations (IWA-4520(b)(2) and IWA-4521)
Duane Arnold will not apply the provisions in IWA-4520(b)(2) and IWA-4521 of the 2007 Edition through the. 2008 Addenda which allow the substitution of ultrasonic examination for radiographic examination specified in the Construction Code. (Reference 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xix)).
1.14.2 Certification and Recertification (IWA-2314)
Level I and II nondestructive examination personnel and personnel qualified under the American SoCiety for Nondestructive Testing Central Certification Program and ANSl/ASNT CP-189 shall be recertified o_n a 3-year interval in lieu of the 5-year interval specified in IWA-2314(a) and IWA-2314(b) (Reference 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xviii)(A)).
* 1.14.3 Appendix VIII Requirements 1.14.3.1 1 OCFR50.55a(b)(2)(xi\I) requires that all personnel qualified for performing ultrasonic
*(UT) examinations in accordance with Appendix VIII shall *receive additional annual hands-on training.
This requirement consists of at least eight hours of hands on training on samples containing cracks no earlier than six months prior to performing examinations at a licensee's facility.
Duane Arnold will comply with these additional training requirements for personnel performing ASME Section XI Appendix VIII, UT examinations.
1.14.3.2 In September 1999, 10CFR50.55a incorporated an expedited implementation schedule for ASME Section XI, Appendix VIII. Duane Arnold implemented the requirements in accordance with the expedited schedule within the third 10-year interval.
For the fifth 10-Year lnservice Inspection Interval, NextEra Energy will implement the requirements of ASME Section XI, 2007 Edition through the 2008 Addenda as modified by 1 OCFR50.55a and relief request, wheri approved.
24 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan 2.0 Risk-Informed (RI) ISi Requirements Revision 1 January 27, 2017 During the fourth 10-Year lnservice Inspection Interval, Duane Arnold implemented a Informed selection criterion for Class 1 Examination Category B-F and B-J piping welds and Class 2 Examination Category C-F-2 piping welds using the methodology contained in EPRI Topical Report TR-112657 Revision B-A and described in ASME Code Case N-578-1. This alternative to the requirements of ASME Section XI was submitted to the NRC in Relief Request NOE-ROOS.
This alternative was approved by the NRC on January 31, 2007 in ML070090357.
This alternative to the requirements of ASME Section XI will be resubmitted to the NRC during the fifth 10-Year lnservice Inspection Interval as Relief Request RR-05. 3.0 Development of the Class 1 Examination Plan Plant controlled isometrics, P&IDs, component drawings, and plant walkdowns were used to develop the ISi drawings and the scope of examinations.
During examinations, drawings will be used to locate and identify each component.
Other plant controlled drawings or documents will be used when additional information is required.
Refer to the Class 1, 2, and 3 ISi Schedule for a complete listing of components subject to examination and the proposed examination schedule.
DAEC requested General Electric (GE) perform an analysis to determine the applicability of IWB-1220(a) and identify those systems and piping line sizes that could be exempted.
This analysis was performed by GE document 22A2750, and results documented in section 5.2.5.3.3 to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. The calculation located in GE document 22A2750 identifies and provides that those portions of steam piping with an inside diameter of 2.24 inches and water piping with an inside diameter of 1.12 inches may be exempted from the surface and volumetric examination requirements of Table IWB-2500-1.
The systems credited in this calculation, which provide normal makeup, are the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) and Control Rod Drive (CRD) systems.
* 3.1 Class 1 Code Exemptions The following Class 1 exemption criteria are applicable to Duane Arnold components.
Article*IWB-1220 of ASME Section XI, 2007 Edition through the 2008 Addenda lists those Duane Arnold components exempt from examination.

This program is implemented in accordance with the Fleet Snubber Program and Site Snubber Procedure as required by the OM Code, Subsection ISTD. Visual, VT-3, examination is performed on snubbers.
 
===8.0 Augmented===
 
and Other Programs This section identifies augmented inspection programs maintained within the ISi Program that are not required by ASME Section XI. However, due to the nature of the augmented requirements, these programs have been included within the ISi Program. These augmented programs satisfy NRC requirements, operating
*experience, engineering judgment, Licensing agreements, etc. Augmented program revisions or deviations shall be governed by the referenced documents.
The following is the detailed description of the Duane Arnold's lnservice Inspection Program Plan Basis for Augmented Examination of additional components/systems.
 
===8.1 Duane===
Arnold applies BWRVIP-75, "Technical Basis for Revision to Generic Letter 88-01 Inspection Schedules" to implement Generic Letter 88-01, NRC Position on IGSCC in BWR Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping for identifying the basis and the successive inspection requirements for stainless steel piping welds. In GL 88-01, the NRC included staff positions on materials, inspections, mitigation options, repairs, and crack evaluation.
The generic letter applied to "all BWR piping made of austenitic stainless steel that is four inches or larger in nominal diameter and contains reactor coolant at a temperature above 200&deg;F during power operation regardless of code* classification." NUREG-0313, Rev.2, "Technical Report on Material Selection and Processing Guidelines for BWR Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping," [2] contained the_technical bases for the staff positions.
 
===8.2 Duane===
Arnold has implemented BWRVIP-76, "BWR Core Shroud Inspection and Flaw Evaluation Guidelines," which provides reinspection requirements for Core Shrouds, after the initial inspection that was required by Generic Letter 94-03, "lntergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking of Core Shrouds In Boiling Water Reactors." 8.3 Baseline inspections were performed in accordance with the initial guidelines of NUREG 0619, "BWR Feedwater Nozzle and Control Rod Ddve Return Line Nozzle Cracking." Successive examinations of feedwater nozzles and the CRD nozzle inner radius will occur every 10 years with other feedwater sparger components examined once every two cycles. The CRD nozzle welds will be examined once every three cycles per commitment change C96-010. 8.4 BWRVIP 18 requires examinations ofthe Core Spray Spargers.
Originally required by NRC IE Bulletin 80-13, "Cracking in Core Spray Spargers", these examinations have been upgraded to implement the recommended inspections contained in BWRVIP 18. 42 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 27, 2017 8.5 Generic Letter 87-11, "Relaxation in Arbitrary Intermediate Pipe Rupture Requirements." The adoption of GL 87-11 requires applying all of the requirements of BTP MEB 3-4 to a piping run. For portions of piping in containment penetration areas, this includes a requirement for 100% volumetric inservice examination of all pipe welds during each interval.
Subsequent NRC implementation guidance clarifies that GL 87-11 may be applied to older plants licensed prior to 1975 and the issuance of MEB 3-1, Rev.O, may be applied to Class 2 or 3 piping systems without applying it to Class 1 piping systems, provided that the effected piping systems meet all requirements of BTP 3-4, may be applied to any piping run without changing the requirements for other piping runs, where a piping run is defined as an "analyzable segment of piping typically located between anchor points" and compliance with BTP 3-4 requires stress analyses to be based on the 1986 Edition of ASME Section II I instead of the original basis of B31.7-1969.
Based on the above criteria, the DAEC has applied GL 87-11 to the following piping runs: (a) HPCI steam supply line -Class 2 portion only (from M0-2239 to turbine inlet), (b) RCIC steam supply line -Class 2 portion only (from M0-2401 to turbine -inlet), (c) RWCU return line -Non-Class and Class 1 piping from regenerative heat exchanger 1 E-214A outlet to the tie in at the feedwater piping, and (d) RCIC injection line -Class 1 and Non-Class portions that tie in with RWCU return pipil")g.
8.6 Lice-nse Renewal commitments were made to examine 10% of the small ASME Class 1 butt welds and 10% of the small bore ASME Class 1 socket welds each ISi interval, since DAEC did fail one small bore weld during the initial 40 year operation.
: 8. 7 Baseline examinations for cast austenitic stainless steel components in Jet Pumps and Core Spray piping are scheduled to be examined in accordance with* License Renewal commitments contained in LRAP-M009 "BWR Vessel Internals." 8.8 Examinations of dry tubes to identify cracks and plunger engagement are performed in accordance with the latest SIL 409 and is dependent on the how long the dry tube has. been installed.
Since DAEC has a small core, the LPRMs are replaced well before an inspection is required, so only IRMs and SRMs are tracked. 8.9 Examinations of jet pump sensing lines including the mitigation clamps, the standoff supports, and tubing are examined in accordance with SIL-420 when a jet pump that has a mitigation clamp or standoff is examined for BWRVIP-41.
8.1 O Owner elected inspection programs that are part of the augmented inspections are: 1. System pressure tests of the Main Steam Relief Valve pneumatic supply, Main Steam Isolation Valve pneumatic supply, Hard Pipe Vent Control Valve supply and the Diesel Air Start supply are pressure tested every period. A specific set of tank supports related to the above systems are. VT-3 examined each ISi interval.
: 2. A system pressure test of the Emergency Diesel Fuel system will be performed once per period and a specific set of day tank supports are VT-3 examined each ISi interval.
43 of 50 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 27, 2017 3. VT-3 of the entire Moisture Steam Separator including the lifting eyes and a VT-1 examination of the tie bar-to-standpipe will be performed every 10 years due to damage sustained in the past wheri lifting the component.
: 4. Shroud head bolts will be VT-3 examined*
every 10 years since other plants have seen wear after extended power uprate.
: 5. Guide rod brackets are inspected every two outages since a cracked tack weld was discovered in RFO 16. 9.0 Evaluation/Acceptance Criteria NextEra Energy will pertorm non-destructive examinations using visual, surface (Penetr'ant and Magnetic Particle), and volumetric (Ultrasonic, Radiography, and Eddy Current) techniques.
Other NOE techniques may be utilized when required._
During inservice inspections, NOE indications are evaluated against the . acceptance standards of ASME Section XI. Compof1ents with indications that do not exceed the acceptance criteria will be considered acceptable for continued service. Additional examinations are not required.
Examinations that reveal indications shall be evaluated in accordance with Articles IWA-3000, IWB-3000, IWC-3000, IWD-3000 ano IWF-3000, as applicable.
 
===9.1 Supplemental===
 
Examinations Examinations that detect flaws/conditions that require evaluation in accordance with the requirements of IWB-3100, IWC-3100 or IWF-3100, may be supplemented by other examination methods and techniques within the limits specified by IWB-3200, IWC-3200 or IWF-3200.
9.2
* Additional Examinations Examinations that reveal flaws or relevant conditions that exceed the referenced acceptance standard, shall be extended to include additional examinations during *the current outage. The adoitional examination requirements of IWB-2430, IWC-* 2430, IWD-2430, or IWF-2430, as applicable, shall be performed as determined by Nuclear Engineering.

Item Number: Component Numbers: 1 ASME Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1 B-A 81 .11 VCB-8001, VCB-A002, VCB-8003, and
: 2. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda lnservice inspections (ISi) at Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) are performed per the requirements of the ASME and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI, 2007 Edition through the 2008 Addenda as required by 1 OCFR50.55a.
* 3. Applicable Code Requirement The applicable Code requirement is contained in Subsection IWB, Table IWB-2500-1; "Examination Category B-A, Item Number 81 .11, "Circumferential Shell Welds", which requires a volumetric examination for all .Reactor Pressure . Vessel (RPV) circumferential shell welds each interval.
: 4. . Reason for Request On January 6, 2005, Duane Arnold received U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
* (NRC) authorization for a technical alternative that eliminated performance of RPV. circumferential shell weld examinations for the duration of the full-term operating license that ended on February 21, 2014 (Reference 1 ). The primary basis was an analysis in accordance with Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP) report, BWRVIP-05, "BWR Reactor Pressure Vessel Shell Weld Inspection Recommendations," (Reference
: 2) and NRC guidance, which indicated that the limiting conditional failure probability for the circumferential shell welds would be satisfied through the expiration of the original full-term operating license. Page A4 of A32 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 27, 2017 Anticipated changes in metallurgical conditions expected over the renewed license period required analysis and further evaluation to demonstrate the continued acceptability for not performing volumetric examinations of these RPV circumferential shell welds over the additional renewed operating license term of 20-years.
The analysis was based on BWRVIP-05 and BWRVIP-74-A, "BWR Vessel and Internals Project, BWR Reactor Pressure Vessel Inspection and Flaw Evaluation Guidelines for License Renewal" (Reference 3). Information on the projected acceptability for continuing permanent deferral--of volumetric examinations on RPV circumferential shell welds was provided in Section 4.2.4 of NUREG-1955, Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Duane Arnold Energy Center. NUREQ-1955 (Reference
-4), provides a *summary of* the safety basis for the* acceptability of various aspects of the license renewal. NUREG-1955 Section 4.2.4, . "Reactor Vessel Circumferential Weld Examination Relief," di_scusses specifics of the NRC evaluation for this area and the continued acceptability of this alternative for the renewed license period of operation.
Subsection 4.2.4.4, "Conclusion," of the NUREG states: On the basis of its review, as discussed above, the staff concludes that Duane Arnold has demonstrated, pursuant to 10 Ci=R 54.21(c)(1)(ii), that, for the RPV circumferential weld examination relief time-limited aging analysis (TLAA), -the-. analyses have been projected to the of the period of extended operation
.. *However, Duane Arnold will* need to request an extension of the relief for circumferential weld examination for the period of extended operation.
The staff also concludes that the UFSAR supplement contains an appropriate summary _description.
of. the activities for managing the effects of aging and the TLAA .. evaluation, as required by 10 CFR 54.21 (d). This 10 CFR 50.55a request is provided to meet the license renewal commitment to resubmit a request for authorization of . permanent relief from the volumetric examination of RPV circumferential shell welds through the 20-year renewed operating license. As such, NextEra Energy* is proposing an alternative in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1) on the basis that this alternative provides *an acceptable level of . quality and safety. *
* 5. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative The projected failure frequency of the subject welds at* Duane Arnold** has been . determined to be sufficiently low for the duration of the renewed operating license term to justify eliminating the examinations required by 1 O CFR 50.55a(g) in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-:A, Item No. 81 .11, Circumferential Shell Welds.

and modifiec;i by 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and standards." Basis for Use The BWRVIP.:.74 rE:lport provides generic the appropriate in.spection and flaw evaluation recommendations to assure safefyi function integrity of reactor pressure vessel components continuing from the initial operating license term through the renewed operating license term. The NRC final license renewal safety evaluation for BWRVIP-74, concluded that Appendix E of the July 28, 1998 NRC safety evaluation for BWRVIP-05, conservatively evaluated BWR reactor pressure vessels to 64 Effective Full Power Years (EFPY), which is 10 EFPY greater than what is* realistically expected at the end of an additional 20-year license renewal period. --The NRC staff analysis provides a technical basis for an alternative.
from the ASME Code Section XI requirements for the volumetric examination of RPV circumferential shell welds for the license renewal period. The associated safety evaluation stated that to obtain relief [similar to the conditions promulgated in Generic Letter 98-05 (Reference 5)] each licensee would have to demonstrate that: (1) At the end of the license renewal period, the circumferential welds will satisfy the limiting conditional failure frequency for circumferential welds in Appendix E of the NRC staffs Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) for BWRVIP-05, and
* Page A6 of A32 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 27, 2017 (2) That they have implemented operator training and established procedures that limit the frequency of cold over-pressure events to the amount specified in the NRC staffs FSER for BWRVIP-05.
The following discussion describes how each of these criteria will be met during the renewed operating license period. Demonstrate that Circumferential Welds Will Satisfy the Limiting Conditional Failure Frequency at the End of the License Renewal Period. The following discussion is taken from the staff evaluation under Section 4.2.4, "Reactor Vessel Circumferential Weld Examination Relief," within NUREG:-1955, the Duane Arnold license renewal safety evaluation report (SER), and summarizes the basis for use and the acceptability of the proposed alternative.
The staff reviewed LRA Section 4.2.4 to verify, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(ii), that the analyses have been projected to the end of the period of extended operation.
The technical basis for relief from the ASME Code Section XI, inservice inspection (ISi) requirements is discussed in the staffs final Safety Evaluation(SE) concerning the BWRVIP-05 report dated July 28, 1998. The staff's SE letter indicated that BWR applicants may request relief from the ISi requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(z) for volumetric examination of circumferential RPV welds by demonstrating that: (1) at the expiration of the license, the circumferential welds satisfy the limiting conditional failure probability for circumferential welds in the s_taffs evaluation dated July 28, 1998, and (2) the applicant implemented operator training and established procedures that limit the frequency of cold overpressure events to the frequency specified in the staffs SE. The letter indicated that as part of any BWR LRA, the requirements for the inspection of RPV circumferential welds during an additional 20-year period of extended operation must be reassessed on a plant-specific basis .. In addition, the applicant must request relief from the ISi requirements for volumetric examination of circumferential welds for the period of extended operation in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(z).
The staff reviewed Duane Arnold's probability of failure (PoF) results which were based .on the methodology presented in the BWRVIP-05 report. PoF results were calculated for 54 EFPY for the limiting RPV beltline circumfer_ential weld VCB-A2. The PoF evaluation included the *consideration of the low overpressure protection (L TOP) occurrence probability.
Duane Arnold did not submit detailed calculations for obtaining PoF values for the limiting beltline circumferential weld and, therefore, in RAI 4.2.4-1 dated September 24, 2009, the staff requested that Duane Arnold submit the calculations for mec;in RT NoT* In its response dated October 23, 2009, Duane Arnold provided a mean RT NOT value for the limiting RPV circumferential weld. The staff confirmed the validity of the data for the copper and nickel contents and the initial RT NOT values for the limiting RPV beltline circumferential weld. The staff reviewed Duane Arnold's calculations for the 54 EFPY mean RT NOT value for the limiting RPV circumferential Page A 7 of A32 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January27, 2017 weld using the data presented in the submittal dated October 23, 2009, and found them to be acceptable.
The 54 EFPY mean RT NDT value is bounded by the 64 EFPY mean RT NDT value used by the staff for determining the conditional failure probability of a circumferential weld. The 64 EFPY mean RT NDT .value from the staffs SE dated July 28, 1998, is representative of a Chicago Bridge and Iron Company (CB&I) weld because CB&I fabricated the Duane Arnold's Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). Since Duane Arnold 54 EFPY mean RT NDT value is less than the 64 EFPY value used in the staffs SE dated July 28, 1998, the staff concludes that the RPV conditional failure probability of the limiting RPV circumferential weld is bounded by the staff analysis, and the PoF value due to a L TOP event at 54 EFPY for the limiting RPV circumferential weld is less than the value used in the staffs SE dated July 28, 1998. Therefore, the staff accepted Duane Arnold's response and considers its concerns related to RAI 4.2.4-1 resolved.
In the July 28, 1998, staff's SE for the BWRVIP-05 report required that examination of the limiting RPV circumferential*
shell welds must be performed if the corresponding volumetric examinations of the RPV axial shell welds revealed any presence of an age-related degradation mechanism.
By letter dated September 24, 2009, the staff issued RAI 4.2.5-1 requesting that Duane Arnold confirm whether previous volumetric examinations of the RPV axial shell welds have shown any indication of cracking or other age-related degradation mechanisms in the welds. In its response dated October 23, 2009, Duane Arnold stated that no re9ordable indications of cracking were identified during the previous volumetric examinations of the RPV axial welds. The staff accepted this response and considers its concerns related to RAl4.2.5-1 resolved.
Implement Operator training and Establish Procedures that Limit the Frequency of Cold Over-Pressure Events to the Amount Specified in the NRC Staff Safety Evaluation for BWRVIP-05 Section 4.2.4 of NUREG-1955 also indicates that Duane Arnold stated it will use the same procedures and tra_ining used to limit RPV cold overpressure events as those approved by the staff for Duane Arnold to implement the BWRVIP-05
*technical alternative for the term of the original operating license.
* By letter dated October 23, 2009, Duane Arnold provided a response to RAI 4.2.4-2 stating it will use training procedures (to limit RPV cold overpressure events) described in Duane Arnold's relief request NDE-R047.
This relief request was submitted on February 12, 2004, and was approved by the staff in a letter dated January 6, 2005. Since the training procedures were approved by the staff and they are consistent with the BWRVIP-05 report, the staff accepted Duane Arnold's response and considers its concerns related to RAI 4.2.4-2 resolved.
Therefore, use of the guidance provided in NRC Generic Letter 98-05, "Boiling Water Reactor Licensees Use of the BWRVIP-05 Report to Request Relief from Augmented Examination Requirements on Reactor Pressure Vessel Circumferential Shell Welds", and the final license renewal safety evaluation report for proprietary report, BWRVIP-74, "BWR Vessel and Internals Project, BWR Reactor Pressure Vessel Inspection and Flaw Evaluation Guidelines for License Renewal" provides an acceptable level of quality and safety pursuant to 1 O CFR 50.55a(z)(1

: 3. Applicable Code Requirement IWA-5244(b) states that for buried components where a VT-2 visual examination cannot be. performed, the examination requirement is satisfied by the following: . . 1) The system pressure test for buried components that are isolable by means of valves shall consist of a test that determines the rate of pressure loss. Alternatively, the test may determine the change in flow between the ends of the buried components.

* 3) Test personnel need not be qualified for VT-2 visual examination.
: 4. Reason for Request IWA-5244(b)(1) requires either a pressure loss test or a test that determines the change in flow between the ends of the buried components for isolable sections of buried piping. The acceptable rate of pressure loss or flow shall be established by the Owner. Sections of River Water Supply, Emergency Service Water (ESW), and Residual Heat Removal Page A12 of A32 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January27, 2017 Service Water (RHRSW) System buried piping were not designed with consideration for isolation valves adequate for performing a pressure loss type test or do not contain instrumentation adequate for measuring changes in flow between the ends of the buried piping. The River Water Supply System contains large diameter buried piping (24 inch diameter) that runs from the River Intake Structure to the Pump House and is greater than 1500 feet in length. The ESW System and the RHRSW System contain large diameter buried piping (16 inch diameter for RHRSW and 8 inch and 6 inch diameter for ESW) that runs from the Pump House to the Turbine Building and is greater than 500 feet in length. The subject piping design for these systems did not provide for isolation valves that are capable of supporting a pressure loss type test considering the volume of the piping and the available capacity of test pumps. The system isolation valves were only intended to provide isolation for maintenance activities with only static system pressure.
River Water Supply and ESW were designed with a single flow element per train located in the Pump House. ESW has some additiorial flow instrumentation on some downstream components, but not for every branch on a train. RHRSW was with a single flow element per train located in the Reactor Building before the Residual Heat Removal System. Heat Exchanger.
Therefore, the installed instrumentation is inadequate for measuring the flow difference at each end of the buried piping. The use of ultrasonic flow instrumentation was considered, but the piping configurations do not provide for the straight runs of piping required for accurate f'ow measurement.
* Both the River Water Supply and RHRSW systems include four pumps each with two . pumps designated to each. of two independent trains. The River Water Supply pumps and
* RHRSW pumps have installed excess capacity.
Therefore, each of the independent trains of both the River Water and RHRSW systems.can accommodate a leak and still satisfy the accident analysis requirements.
ESW has one pump per train. The ESW system supplies * . various plant heat exchangers, which have flow margin due to heat transfer requirements.

), NextEra Energy* . requests relief from performing the system leakage test for buried portions that are isolable by means of.valves by measuring rate of pressure loss or the change iri flow between the ends of buried components.
In lieu of performing a system pressure test in accordance with the requirements specified in IWA-5244(b)(1
), NextEra Energy shall use the provisions of IWA-5244(b)(2) to confirm that flow during operation is not impaired.
IWA-5244(b)(2) states that the system pressure test for non-isolable buried components shall of a test to confirm that flow during operation is not impaired.
The proposed alternative provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. Basis for Use The integrity of the buried piping for the River Water Supply and RHRSW, will be verified during quarterly pump testing. Using the downstream instruments, flow rate is set at the fixed reference value in accordance with ASME OM Code 2004 Edition through 2006 Addenda and documented in the test record. The pump discharge.
pressure is then measured and used to determine the head produced by the pump. Head and flow rate are interdependent variables, which together define pump hydraulic Page A13 of A32 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1
* January 27, 2017 I performance.
As the pump degrades, the developed head will decrease at the reference flow rate. However, since the location of the flow rate instruments are downstream of the buried piping, a decrease in pump head, during testing may also indicate through-wall leakage in the buried portion of the RHRSW or River Water Supply piping. Significant through-wall leakage would be evident because the total flow rate would
* increase even though the downstream indicated flow rate is set at the reference value. Therefore, a satisfactory quarterly service water pump test also verifies the integrity of the buried system supply piping. Should the pump test results fall below the required action range of the code, then additional testing and evaluations will be performed to whether the unsatisfactory test results are due to degraded pump performance or through-wall leakage. For the ESW System, the integrity of the. buried piping will be verified during the combination of the quarterly pump testing and the verification that adequate flow is supplied to cooling loads as provided by installed instrumentation.
Using the upstream . instruments, flow rate for the ESW pump is set at a fixed reference value in accordance with ASME OM Code 2004 Edition through 2006 Addenda and documented in the test record. Downstream critical heat loads supplied by ESW such as the Emergency Diesel Generator Coolers, Control Building Chillers, and the Residual Heat Removal and Core Spray Room Coolers, have installed flow instrumentation.
The installed instrumentation represents approximately 90% of the total critical load flow required to be supplied by ESW. Significant through-wall leakage would be evident by a* marked decrease in supplied flow to the 90% instrumented downstream loads. Annual trending of the ESW .instrumented critical load flow rates compared fo the upstream.
set reference value flow verifies the integrity of the buried piping. In addition, NextEra Energy proposes to perform visual examination of the ground. surface area immediately above each buried section of ESW on a refuel cycle bases in lieu of performing the test required by IWA-5244(b)(1).
The visual examinations will be performed only after the subject piping has been in operation at nominal operating . conditions for a minimum of 24-hours.
The ASME s*ection XI code only requirt?s a pressure test once each period (Every 3 to 4 years). Pursuant to 10CFR50.55a(z)(1), relief is requested on the basis that the proposed alternative would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. 6.

Reason for Request Revision 1 January 27, 2017 lnservice inspection of the ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components is performed in accordance with the ASME Section XI code and applicable addenda as a way to detect anomaly and degradation indications so that structural integrity of these components can be maintained.
This is required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.55a(g), except where specific relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 1 OCFR50.55a(g)(6)(i).
The provision of 10 CFR 50.55a(z) states that alternatives to the requirements of paragraph (g) may be used, when authorized by the NRC, if: ( 1) the proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety, or (2) compliance with the specified requirements would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. For all RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radii, ASME Code, Section XI requires 100 percent inspection during each 10-year ISi interval.
However, ASME Code Case N-702, "Alternative Requirements for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Nozzle Inner Radius and Nozzle-to-Shell Welds, Section XI, Division 1," is listed in RG 1.147, Table 2, "Conditionally Acceptable Section XI Code Cases" proposes an _alternative which reduces the inspection of RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radius areas from 100 percent to 25 percent of the nozzles for each nozzle type during each 10-year interval.
The Condition associated with Code Case N-702 is as follows: The applicability of Code Case N-702 must be shown by demonstrating that _ the criteria in Section 5.0 of NRG Safety Evaluation regarding BWRVIP-1_08 dated December 18, 2007 (ML073600374) or Section 5.0 of NRG Safety Evaluation regarding BWRVIP-241 dated April 19, 2013 (ML13071A240) are
* met. The evaluation demonstrating the applicability of the Code Case shall be reviewed and approved by the NRG prior to the applicability of the Code Case. The identified nozzles (Attachment

), NextEra Energy is requesting relief from performing the required examinations on 100% of the identified ASME Code Table IWB-2500-1, Examination Category B-D, Class 1 nozzle assembly requirements as delineated in Item Number 83.90 "Nozzle-to-Vessel Welds," and 83.100 "Nozzle Inside Radius Section." (Attachment 1). Alternatively, in accordance with Code Case N-702 a minimum of 25% of the nozzle-to-vessel welds and inner radius sections, including at least one nozzle from each system and nominal pipe size, will be volumetrically examined.
For the nozzle assemblies identified in Attachment 1, this will mean one Page A18 of A32 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan from each of the groups identified below: Group Total Number Recirculation Outlet (N 1 )* 2 Recirculation Inlet (N2) 8 Vessel Instrumentation 6 (N11, N12, N16) Core Spray (NS) 2 Nozzles on Vessel Top 3 Head (N6, N7)) Jet Pump (N8)

Code Case N-702 also stipulates that VT-1 examination may be used in lieu of the volumetric examination for the inner radii. NRC has not endorsed the use of Code Case N-702 for VT-1 examinations.
Duane Arnold will utilize Code Case N-648-1,* "Alternative Requirements for Inner Radius Examination of Class 1 Reactor Vessel Nozzles, Section XI Division 1," with associated required conditions specified in RG
* 1.147, if a VT-1 examination is performed in lieu of a volumetric examination
.. Volumetric examination of the nozzle inner radii is the preferred method. *Basis for Use EPRI Technical Report 1003557, "BWRVIP-108:
BWR Vessel and Internals Project Technical Basis for the Reduction of Inspection Requirements for the Boiling Water Reactor Nozile-to-Vessel Shell Welds and Nozzle Blend Radii," provides the basis for Code Case N-702. The evaluation found that failure probabilities at the nozzle blend radius region and nozzle-to-vessel shell weld due to a Low Temperature Overpressure event are very low (i.e.<1 x 106 for 40 years) with or without inservice inspection.
The report concludes that inspection of 25% of each nozzle type is technically justified.
This report received an NRC Safety Evaluation (SER) dated December 19, 2007. In* the SER, Section 5.0 "Plant Specific Applicability" requires each licensee who plans to request relief from the ASME Section XI requirements for RPV nozzle-to-vessel shell welds and nozzle inner radii sections, may reference the BWRVIP-108 report as the technical basis for use of ASME Code Case N-702 as an alternative.
However, each licensee should demonstrate the plant specific applicability of the BWRVIP-108 report to t.heir units in the relief request, by showing that all the following general and nozzle-specific criteria are satisfied:
(1) The maximum RPV heatup/cooldown rate is limited to less than 115&deg;F per Page A19 of A32 Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 27, 2017 hour. The Duane Arnold surveillance that monitors reactor vessel heatup/cooldown (STP 3.4.9-01) limits the rate to less than 100&deg;F for Curve B and less than 20&deg;F for Curve A. (2) For the Recirculation Inlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met: a. (pr/t)/CRPV<1.15, the calculation for the Duane Arnold N2 Nozzle results in 0.97 48 which is less than 1.15. b. [p(ro 2+ri 2)/(ro 2-ri 2)]/CNOZZLE<1.15, the calculation for the Duane Arnold N2 Nozzle results in 1.0923 which is less than 1.15. (3) For the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles, the following criteria must be met: a. (pr/t)/CRPV<1.15, the calculation for the Duane Arnold N1* Nozzle results in 1, 17 which is higher than 1.15. b. [p(ro 2+ri 2)/(ro 2-ri 2)]/CNOZZLE<1.15, the calculation for the Duane Arnold N1 No.zzle results in 0.87 which is less than 1.15. So based on the above information, all RPV nozzle-to-shell welds and nozzle inner radii sections, with the exception of the Recirculation Outlet Nozzles, meet the criteria and therefore Code Case N-702 is applicable.
However, the Recirculation .outlet Nozzles do not meet all of the criteria and *code Case N-702 would not be applied. See Attachment 2 for details. *

Section VIII, AP/ 620, or AP/ 650 to Section Ill:" Installed and spare MSRVs were originally manufact.ured to the 1968 Edition, Winter. 1968 Addenda of ASME, Section Ill, and General Electric Design Specification 21A9206 Rev. 6. All subsequent Repair/Replacement Activities were intended to meet . . the original construction code and design specification.
All Repair/Replacement Activity seal welding has been performed by the original Manufact!Jrer (Target R9ck) using the same Weld Prncedure Specifications (WPSs) as used during original fabrication.
: 4. Reason for Reg uest The original weld procedure specifications (WPS) for seal weldirig were qualified in accordance with the Manufacturer's standard rather than ASME. requirements.
The Manufacturer's standard included multiple surface Non-Destructive Examinations . (NOE) and macro examinations of sectioned specimens.
The three seal welds affected
* are the bellows-to-spacer plate seal weld, the pilot seat-to-body seal weld, and the second stage seat-to-body seal weld. (Reference Figure 1 for seal welds). The 1968 Edition, Winter 1968, Addenda of ASME Code, Section Ill, did not inelude fabrication requirements for valves or provide any requirements for seal welding. The General Electric design specification required weld procedures to be qualified in accordance with ASME Section IX. However, the author of this design specification, and the original purchaser of the MSRVs (General Electric), believed that this requirement was never intended to be applicable to seal welding. It is reasonable to assume that the 1968 Edition of ASME Section IX should have been used to qualify seal welding procedures, since the 1968 Edition of ASME Section IX, paragraph Q-10 (b), requires all welding to be qualified using reduced section tension specimens and guided bend specimens.
Although the Target Rock procedures have since* been revised to reference the new procedure qualification records (PQRs) using the same seal weld parameters as the original seal welding procedure and meeting all tensile and bend tests requirements in accordance with ASME Section IX, a hardship still exists to meet the ASME Section XI Code requirements for having a qualified weld procedures prior to production welding and subsequent code stamping.
As stated in the previous interval relief request, in order to meet this requirement, all seal welds would have to be removed and re-welded Page A29 of A32 :-_---: ---:-:,. ----
Duane Arnold Energy Center ISi Program Document No. 5th lnterval-ISl-PDA-Program Plan Revision 1 January 2,7, 2017 using the same welding procedure that is now pre-qualified.
Also, removal of existing seal welds. would require MSRV be completely disassembled, the seat rings replaced, *and the reassembled valve tested. This unnecessary welding evolution could potentially degrade the carbon steel casting. Therefore, replacement of existing seal welds is considered a hardship, or unusual difficulty, without a compensating increase in the level of quality and. safety. 5. Proposed Alternative Pursuant to 1 O CFR 50.55a, "Codes and Standards," paragraph(z)(2), NextEra Energy requests authorization to continue using the updated Target Rock WPSs for the seal welding of the installed and spare MSRVs that were post-production qualified in accordance with ASME Code, Section IX requirements.
This proposed alternative is deemed to be acceptable because NextEra Energy considers implementation of the applicable Code requirements to be a hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in level of quality and safety. Basis for Use . In 2007, Target Rock completed three procedure qualification records (PQR's) using* the same seal welding parameters as in the original seal welding procedures and the weld coupons were tested in accordance with the 2004 Edition, 2006 Addenda, of ASME Section IX. All tensile and bend testing was found acceptable to the ASME . Code, Section IX requirements.
All three seal weld WPSs have been revised to reference the new PQRs that were qualified via tensile and bend testing. These post-qualifying PQRs verify that the seal welds made with the original seal welding WPSs meet all tensile and bend test requirements and justify continued use. The revised seal welding WPSs that now reference the new PQRs are planned to be used during future Repair/Replacement activities, if performed by Target Rock.
* 6. Duration for the Proposed Alternative This relief is requested for the Duane Arnold Fifth lnservice Inspection Interval beginning on November 1, 2016 and scheduled to end on October 31, 2026. 7. Precedents This relief request was approved for the Duane Arnold in the fourth interval as R012. The NRC SER was issued on July 2, .2008 (TAC No. MD6293 and ADAMS *Accession No: ML081680709).
