The applicant provided a proprietary report concerning the investigation of the sliding behavior of a number of alloys under dry and water-lubricated conditions. NRC staff review identified some apparent discrepancies with the data presented in the report. The staff reiterated its position that for the analysis of the stress relaxation of rim hold down bolts time-limited aging analysis (TLAA), a friction coefficient of 0.5 was unacceptably high. The NRC staff referenced Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project-25 (BWRVIP-25) which did not include friction in an analysis acceptable to the NRC staff, and Code Case N-730, which used a friction coefficient of 0.2 in an analysis of similar materials in a different geometry. The staff requested the applicant to provide additional information on the GE testing described in the proprietary report, or provide another analysis for the TLAA.

Discussion: The applicant indicated that the question is clear. The applicant will perform an analysis of the stress relaxation in accordance with the process described in BWRVIP-25, and provide the analysis to the staff for its review.

The staff noted the table was missing the data for the nozzles. The applicant referenced BWRVIP-74, which provided USE data for plates. However, the staff noted that nozzles are forged components, not plates, and requested the applicant to provide a technical basis for their position that the plates are the limiting components.

Mike Aleksey NMC Dave Musolf NMC MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION January 9, 2006 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (the staff) and representatives of Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) held a telephone conference call on January 9, 2006, to discuss and clarify the applicants responses to requests for additional information (RAIs) concerning the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant license renewal application. The following issues were discussed during the telephone conference call:

1. In a letter dated December 16, 2005, the applicant provided a supplemental response to RAI 4.8-2. The applicant provided a proprietary report concerning the investigation of the sliding behavior of a number of alloys under dry and water-lubricated conditions. NRC staff review identified some apparent discrepancies with the data presented in the report. The staff reiterated its position that for the analysis of the stress relaxation of rim hold down bolts time-limited aging analysis (TLAA), a friction coefficient of 0.5 was unacceptably high. The NRC staff referenced Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project-25 (BWRVIP-25) which did not include friction in an analysis acceptable to the NRC staff, and Code Case N-730, which used a friction coefficient of 0.2 in an analysis of similar materials in a different geometry. The staff requested the applicant to provide additional information on the GE testing described in the proprietary report, or provide another analysis for the TLAA.

Discussion: The applicant indicated that the question is clear. The applicant will perform an analysis of the stress relaxation in accordance with the process described in BWRVIP-25, and provide the analysis to the staff for its review.

2. In its initial response to RAI 4.2-3, dated October 28, 2005, the applicant provided a table projecting Upper Shelf Energy (USE) data through the period of extended operation. The staff noted the table was missing the data for the nozzles. The applicant referenced BWRVIP-74, which provided USE data for plates. However, the staff noted that nozzles are forged components, not plates, and requested the applicant to provide a technical basis for their position that the plates are the limiting components.

Discussion: The applicant indicated that the question is clear. The applicant will provide the USE information for the nozzles.
