Gresham, am authorized to execute this Affidavit on behalf of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC ("Westinghouse") and declare that the averments of fact set forth in this Affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. James A. Gresham Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 3 L-2018-17 4 Attachment 13 Enclosure 1 Page 4 of 8 CAW-18-4804 (l) I am Consulting Engineer, Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Westinghouse Electric Company ILC ("Westinghouse"), and as such, I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld from public disclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rule making proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of Westinghouse. (2) I am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of l O CFR Section 2.390 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ("Commission's") regulations and in conjunction with the Westinghouse Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure accompanying this Affidavit. (3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designating information as a trade secret,. privileged or as confidential commercial or frnancial information. (4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld. (i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and ha~ been held in confidence by Westinghouse. (ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public. Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence. The application of that system and the substance of that system constitute Westinghouse policy and provide the rational basis required. Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows: (a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 4 L-2018-174 Attachment 13 Enclosure 1 Page 5 of 8 CAW-18-4804 Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies. (b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process ( or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage (e.g., by optimization or improved marketability). ( c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product. ( d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers. ( e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse. (t) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirafile. (iii) There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include the following: (a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse competitive position. (b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes ~e Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information. (c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure of resources at our expense. Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 5 L-2018-174 Attachment 13 Enclosure 1 Page 6 of 8 CAW-18-4804 ( d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. If competitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one component may be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage. ( e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence of Westinghouse in the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition of those countries. (f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage. (iv) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390, is to be received in confidence by the Commission. (v) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief. (vi) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in L TR-SDA-II-17-13-P, Rev. 4, '"Environmentally Assisted Fatigue Evaluation of the Turkey Point Unit 3 and Unit 4 Pressurizer Upper Head and Shell and Reactor Vessel Core Support Blocks (Westinghouse Proprietary Class 2)" (Proprietary), dated September 18, 2018 and LTR-CEC0-17-025-P, Rev. 3, '"Environmentally Assisted Fatigue Evaluation of the Turkey Point Unit 3 and Unit 4 Replacement Steam Generators" (Proprietary), dated September 14, 2018, for submittal to the Commission, being transmitted by Florida Power & Light Company letter. The proprietary information as submitted by Westinghouse is that associated with Westinghouse's request for NRC approval of LTR-SDA-II-17-13-P and LTR-CEC0 025-P, and may be used only for that purpose. Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 6 L-2018-174 Attachment 13 Enclosure 1 Page 7 of 8 CAW-184804 (a) This information is part of that which will enable Westinghouse to provide a technical justification for acceptability of environmental assisted fatigue for various components for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 in support of their subsequent license renewal program. (b) Further, this information has substantial commercial value as follows: (i) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of similar information to its*customers for the purpose of supporting other subsequent license renewal programs. (ii) Westinghouse can sell support and defense of industry guidelines and acceptance criteria for plant-specific applications. (iii) The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspects of a methodology which was developed by Westinghouse. Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar technical evaluation justifications and licensing defense services for cortunercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information. The development of the technology described in part by the infonnation is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money. In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be perfonned and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be expended. Further the deponent sayeth not.

• Leak-Before-Break RCS Pipe, TLAA 4.7 Regulatory Basis: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 54.21 (c) requires an applicant to demonstrate that the effects of aging for structures and components will be adequately managed so that the intended function(s) will be maintained consistent with the current licensing basis for the subsequent period of extended operation.

One of the findings that the staff must make to issue a renewed license (10 CFR 54.29(a)) is that actions have been identified and have been or will be taken with respect to the managing the effects of aging during the subsequent period of extended operation on the functionality of structures and components that have been identified to require review under 10 CFR 54.21, such that there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the subsequent renewed license will continue to be conducted in accordance with the current licensing basis. As described in NUREG-2192, Rev. 0, "Standard Review Plan for Review of Subsequent License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants," dated July 2017 (SRP-SLR), an applicant may demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 54.21 (a)(3) by referencing the applicable aging management programs and activities in the NUREG-2191, Rev. 0, "Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report," dated July 2017. In order to complete its review and enable making a finding under 10 CFR 54.29(a), the staff requires additional information in regard to the matters described below.

Background:

The regulation in 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(ii) states that, for a specific time limited aging analysis (TLAA) that is dispositioned in accordance with this regulation, the applicant must demonstrate that the analysis has been projected to the subsequent end of the period of extended operation. Subsequent license renewal application (SLRA) Section 4.7.3, "Leak-Before-Break Analysis for Reactor Coolant System Piping," identifies the leak-before-break (LBB) analysis in the current licensing basis as an analysis that meets the definitions of a TLAA for the SLRA. As part of the SLRA, the applicant evaluated the LBB analysis of reactor coolant system (RCS) primary loop piping as documented in WCAP-15354, Revision 1, "Technical Justification for Eliminating Primary Loop Pipe Rupture as a Structural Design Basis for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Nuclear Power Plants for the Subsequent License Renewal Time-Limited Aging Analysis Program (80 Years) Leak-Before-Break Evaluation," September 2017. The cast austenitic stainless steel material in RCS piping may be affected by thermal embrittlement during the subsequent period of extended operation. In addition, fatigue crack growth calculation for the reactor coolant system piping is part of the TLAA. Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.7.3-1 L-2018-174 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 3 RAI 4.7.3-1 Issue: In Section 8 of WCAP-15354, Revision 1, the applicant analyzed fatigue crack growth for the postulated circumferential flaw. The staff understands that typically an axial flaw is not limiting in LBB analyses; therefore, fatigue crack growth would not be performed for the axial flaw. However, WCAP-15354 does not clearly state that an axial flaw is not limiting for the applicant's LBB analysis. Request: Discuss whether fatigue crack growth was performed for a postulated axial flaw. In addition, discuss whether an axial flaw is not limiting in terms of pipe rupture such that fatigue crack growth is not needed for the axial flaw. FPL Response: Fatigue crack growth was not performed for a postulated axial flaw orientation in the RCL piping of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. Based on past evaluations of RCL piping for other operating plants, the circumferential flaw evaluations bound the axial flaws. Firstly, the loading conditions, including internal blow-off pressure axial force and the conservative combination of moment loads prescribed by SRP 3.6.3 (References 1 and 2) ensure that the circumferential flaw orientation is most limiting. In addition, LBB evaluations are generally focused on the weld locations since the fracture toughness of the weld material is weaker than the base piping material. As such, an axial flaw in the weld material would be unlikely to see considerable growth into the tougher base metal and thus, be restricted to the weld material. Circumferential growth of a flaw through the weld material represents the more realistic scenario. Axial-oriented flaws are typically only considered for locations where Alloy 82/182 material is present, due to the susceptibility to Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC). Section 10 of WCAP-15354, Revision 1 (Reference

3) confirms that there is not Alloy 82/182 material present in the welds for the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 primary loop piping. As such, the postulation of an axial orientation is not necessary for addressing concerns related to PWSCC susceptible materials.

The intention of an LBB evaluation is to justify that the double-ended guillotine type of pipe break is not a credible failure mode for the RCL piping system. Fatigue crack growth for an LBB evaluation is typically presented as a defense-in-depth justification to demonstrate that a small surface*flaw would not develop to a through-wall flaw during the plant design life. In this demonstration of fatigue crack growth, the evaluation considers the growth of a circumferential flaw ~ince this orientation is directly representative of a scenario that could result in a double-ended guillotine failure. The premise of an LBB evaluation is focused on the double-ended guillotine failure since these have the potential for more severe secondary damage from jet impingement and pipe whip. Therefore, the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.7.3-1 L-2018-174 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 3 evaluation of a circumferential flaw is more appropriate and conservative than an axial flaw since an axial flaw will not result in a double-ended guillotine break.

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.3-2 Issue: WCAP-14237 is the original LBB analysis for the primary loop piping. Table 7-1 in WCAP-. 14237 lists fracture toughness values J1c and Jmax of locations 2 and 11 of the primary loop piping. Table 4-5 of WCAP-15354 ~lso lists J1c and Jmax of location 2 (hot leg) and location11 (cold leg). The staff noted that there are some discrepancies between WCAP-14237 and WCAP-15354. Specifically, the J1c values are slightly higher in WCAP-15354 than those in WCAP-14237. The Jmax values are much higher in WCAP-15353 than that in WCAP-14237. Request: Discuss why there are differences in J1c and Jmax between WCAP-14237 and WCAP-15353. As part of the response, discuss specifically why Jmax values are so much higher in WCAP-15353 than those in WCAP-14237. FPL Response: The original LBB analysis for the RCL piping, documented in WCAP-14237 (Reference 1 ), calculates the aged fracture toughness properties of cast stainless steel components using the Westinghouse methodology that is documented in WCAP-10931, Revision 1 (Reference 2). This methodology was based on a nominal set of material testing data and results in conservative approximations of the aged fracture toughness values; J1c and Jmax. Specifically, for the Turkey Point analysis location 11 of WCAP-14237 (Reference 1 ), the chemical composition of the cast material results in the calculation of a very low value of Charpy Li-notch fracture toughness (KCU). For very low values of KCU, the methodology of WCAP-10931, Revision 1 (Reference

2) required the assumption that this material be considered as fully aged, and the maximum fracture toughness (Jmax) is conservatively taken to be equal to the crack initiation fracture toughness (J,c). This conservative assumption was not necessary for analysis location 2 of WCAP-14237 (Reference

1) since the material chemical composition was not as limiting.

The update to the LBB analysis for the RCL piping for the 80-year SLR, documented in WCAP-15354-P, Revision 1 (Reference 3), considers the updated NRG-approved and industry-adopted methodology for estimating the aged fracture toughness properties of cast stainless steel components which is established in NUREG-4513, Revision 2 (Reference 4). The methodology of NUREG-4513, Revision 2 (Reference

4) is based on a considerably more extensive set of material testing data which eliminates the need for some of the overly conservative approximations that were inherent in the methodology of WCAP-10931, Revision 1 (Reference 2). By utilizing the methodology of NUREG-4513, Revision 2 (Reference 4), the updated LBB analysis for the RCL piping for the 80-year SLR was able to establish increases to the aged fracture toughness values, J1c and Jmax, for the most limiting material locations.

ML18269A209 and ML18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.3-3 Issue: On page 8-2 of WCAP-15354, the applicant stated that the calculated fatigue crack growth for semi-elliptic surface flaws of circumferential orientation and various depths is summarized in Table 8-2. However, it is not clear from Table 8-2 whether the final flaw size is in terms of the though-wall crack depth or circumferential crack length. Request: Clarify whether the final flaw size derived in Table 8-2 of WCAP-15354 is the depth of the pipe wall thickness, or the length in the circumferential direction. FPL Response: The values shown in Table 8-2 ofWCAP-15354, Revision 1 (Reference

1) represent the depth of a semi-elliptic surface in the through-wall (radial) direction.

The flaw depths are measured from the inside surface of the piping through the pipe wall thickness.

Request: Discuss whether errors in pipe stress software as discussed in AR 01610224 affected the applied loads and stresses used in the LBB analysis of reactor coolant piping. FPL Response: Error report AR 01610224 is associated with the PIPESTRESS analysis program. A review of the piping analysis inputs used in the LBB evaluation of the RCL piping has confirmed that PIPESTRESS was not used. As such, the software error discussed in AR 01610224 does not apply to the RCL piping analysis and does not impact the applied loads and stresses used in the LBB evaluation.

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.3-5 Issue: The staff noted that Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) topical report "Materials Reliability Program: Assessment of Residual Heat Removal Mixing Tee Thermal Fatigue in PWR [Pressurized Water Reactors] Plants (MRP [Materials Reliability Program]-MRP-192, Revision 2), August 2012," and "Materials Reliability Program: Management of Thermal Fatigue in Normally Stagnant Non-lsolable Reactor Coolant System Branch Lines (MRP-146, Revision 1 ), June 2011" are related to thermal fatigue of safety-related piping. Request: Discuss whether the RCS primary loop piping at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is subject to the thermal fatigue as discussed in MRP-146 and MRP-192. If yes, discuss whether RCS primary loop piping satisfies the LBB screening criteria as specified in Standard Review Plan 3.6.3 of NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition." Discuss whether thermal fatigue data are included in the fatigue crack growth calculations in WCAP-15354, Revision 1. If yes, provide examples of the thermal fatigue data (transient loading). FPL Response: The reactor coolant loop (RCL) piping of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are not subject to the thermal fatigue effects identified in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) reports MRP-146 and MRP-192. MRP-146 provides guidance related to the screening and evaluation of locations in normally stagnant, non-isolable piping systems attached to the RCL piping where swirl penetration and/or valve in-leakage may cause thermal fatigue cracking. The RCL piping of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are not normal stagnant lines, and therefore, the screening and evaluation guidance of MRP-146 do not apply to the RCL piping analysis and do not impact the conclusion of the LBB evaluation. MRP-192 reviews an occurrence of thermal fatigue cracking in a mixing tee component of a Residual Heat Removal (RHR) line caused by cyclic mixing of hot and cold reactor coolant in a zone where hot heat exchanger bypass flow rejoined the cold heat exchanger outlet flow. This type of cyclic thermal mixing is not able to occur at any location of the RCL piping of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, and therefore, an assessment related to MRP-192 does not apply to the RCL piping analysis and does not impact the conclusion of the LBB evaluation. As discussed in Section 2.3 ofWCAP-15354, Revision 1 (Reference 1), the assessment of low cycle fatigue is performed in the form of a fatigue crack growth analysis which is documented in Section 8 of WCAP-15354, Revision 1 (Reference 1 ). The applied transients, which contribute the thermal fatigue effects considered for the 80-year SLR Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.7.3-5 L-2018-174 Attachment 5 Page 2 of 2 operating life of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, are identified in Table 8-1 of WCAP-15354, Revision 1 (Reference 1).

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.3-6 Issue: The elbows in the RCS primary loop piping are made of cast austenitic stainless steel material which is susceptible to thermal embrittlement when the component is placed in a long term service. In SLRA Section 4.7.3, the applicant used the method in NRC document NUREG/CR-4513, "Estimation of Fracture Toughness of Cast Stainless Steels During Thermal Aging in LWR Systems," Revision 2, to predict the fully aged fracture toughness values for the elbows at the end of 80 years. SLRA Section 4.7.5 discusses thermal embrittlement of the reactor coolant pump casing which is made of cast austenitic stainless-steel material. In SLRA Section 4.7.5, the applicant used NUREG/CR-4513, Revision 2 and Westinghouse report, WCAP-13045, to predict the fully aged fracture toughness values for the reactor coolant pump casing. Request: Discuss whether the fracture toughness data in WCAP-13045 as discussed in Section 4.7.5 are applicable to the elbows in the RCS primary piping as discussed in Section 4. 7.3. If yes, discuss whether the fracture toughness values used for the elbows in the RCS primary piping in the LBB analysis in Section 4.7.3 are the lowest values (i.e., most limiting) based on the data in WCAP-13045 and NUREG/CR-4513, Revision 2. FPL Response: The aged fracture toughness values presented in WCAP-13045 (Reference

1) are based on specific material testing composition data for RCL pump casings and are not specific to any cast RCL piping component for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. As such, the aged fracture toughness values in WCAP-13045 (Reference

1) are not applicable to the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 LBB evaluation of the RCL piping. Instead, for the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 CF8M cast RCL elbows, the aged fracture toughness values were calculated for the specific elbow material compositions; first in WCAP-14237 (Reference 2), then most recently in WCAP-15354-P, Revision 1 (Reference

3) using the updated NRG-approved methodology of NUREG-4513, Revision 2 (Reference 4). However, it should be noted that both WCAP-14237 (Reference

2) and WCAP-13045 (Reference

1) considers the same methodology for calculating aged fracture toughness properties of cast stainless steel components from WCAP-10931, Revision 1 (Reference 5). While the fracture toughness properties of WCAP-13045 (Reference

1) are not applicable to the LBB evaluation of the RCL piping, the corresponding methodology for the calculation of the fracture toughness properties was considered in previous revision of the LBB evaluation of the RCL piping, WCAP-14237 (Reference 2). This methodology has since been superseded by NUREG-4513, Revision 2 (Reference

4) which is utilized in the current LBB evaluation, WCAP-15354-P, Revision 1 (Reference 3).

• Reactor Vessel Neutron Embrittlement Analyses, TLAA 4.2 Regulatory Basis: Section 54.21 (c)(1) of 10 CFR states that a list of time-limited aging analyses, as defined in 10 CFR 54.3, must be provided, and that the applicant shall demonstrate that: (i) The analyses remain valid for the period of extended operation; (ii) The analyses have been projected to the end of the period of extended operation; or (iii) The effects of aging on the intended function(s) will be adequately managed for the period of extended operation.

In order to verify that TLAAs for pressurized thermal shock (PTS) and adjusted reference temperature (ART) have been conservatively projected in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(ii), the staff requires additional information as detailed below. RAI 4.2-1

Background:

For the pressurized thermal shock (PTS), SRP-SLR Section 4.2.2.1.3 references 10 CFR 50.61 TLAA, which requires that the RT PTS values be updated when there is a change in the expiration date of a plant's operating license. Therefore, the SRP-SLR states the RT PTS values must be calculated for the subsequent period of extended operation. The applicant described its evaluation of the PTS TLAA in SLRA Section 4.2.2. The applicant dispositioned the PTS TLAA as projected through the period of extended operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(ii). Among the input data for calculation of RT PTS is the unirradiated reference temperature, RT NDT(u), and the standard deviation of RTNDT(u), designated au. SLRA Tables 4.2.2-1 and 4.2.2-2 provide the input data and results of the RT Prs calculations for 72 EFPY. The staff also notes that the same RT NDT(u) and au values are used in the calculation of ART in SLRA Tables 4.2.4-1 and 4.2.4-2, and that this RAI is also applicable to the ART TLAA discussed in SLRA Section 4.2.4. Issue: The unirradiated reference temperature (RT NDT(u)) and the standard deviation of RT NDT(u) (au) values for certain reactor pressure vessel (RPV) materials, and the ART values for TP3 and TP4 reported in the SLRA have changed compared to those used in the current PTS analysis of record, both of which are contained in the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Extended Power Uprate (EPU) Licensing Report, 1 , which is Attachment 4 to the license amendment request for an EPU 2. The license amendment request for EPU was approved Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.2-1 L-2018-174 Attachment 7 Page 2 of 6 via a license amendment dated June 15, 2012. 3 The tables below compare the changes from the EPU to the SLRA for the two parameters. The SLRA did not provide references to source documents for the revised values of RTNDT(u) and au. The staff noted that some of the revised values result in lower values of RT PTS and ART. Therefore, it is necessary for the staff to verify the revised RT NDT(u) and au are accurate in order to assess the applicant's disposition for the PTS and ART TLAAs in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(ii). Request: For the materials listed in Table 1 and Table 2, the staff requests that the applicant: a) Justify the discrepancy between the SLRA 1 (Table 4.2.2-1 for Unit 3 and Table 4.2.2-2 for Unit 4) and the (;PU licensing report 2 (Table 2.1.2-3 for Unit 3 and Table 2.1.2-4 for Unit 4) for the RT NDT(u) values and au. b) Describe how the RT NDT(u) values and au reported in the SLRA were determined, including a description of the data set. FPL Response: a) Explanation for the differences/discrepancies in the values of RT NDT(u) and au reported in SLRA Table 4.2.2-1 for Unit 3 and Table 4.2.2-2 for Unit 4 and Table 2.1.2-3 for Unit 3 and Table 2.1.2-4 for Unit 4 in the EPU licensing report are provided in Table A (Unit 3) and Table B (Unit 4) below.

RAI 4.3.1-1

Background:

As discussed in SLRA Section 4.3.1, the applicant dispositioned the TLAA for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Ill, Class 1 fatigue calculations, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i), that the analyses remain valid for the subsequent period of extended operation (SPEO). The applicant stated that the results demonstrate that the number of assumed design cycles will not be exceeded in 80 years of plant operation. The applicant also stated that it will monitor design cycles using the Fatigue Monitoring Program and assure that corrective action specified in the program is taken if any of the actual design cycles approach 80 percent of their analyzed numbers during the SPEO. Issue: The staff noted that the applicant is relying on its Fatigue Monitoring Program to monitor design cycles to ensure that these fatigue TLMs remain valid for the SPEO in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i). Thus, the staff identified that the applicant's disposition for these TLMs (i.e., 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i)) is not applicable because the Fatigue Monitoring Program is managing fatigue by ensuring these analyses to continually remain valid and that the ASME Code design limit will not be exceeded during the SPEO. Request:

• If the disposition for these fatigue TLMs remains in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i) -the staff requests the following:
• Based on the weighted projection methodology discussed in the SLRA and Cale 1700109.402P.R4, the staff noted that the weighted projection method was not applied to all transients to determine 80-year cycles. o Discuss the method used for these transients and justify that it is conservative for determining 80-year projected cycles and supports the disposition of 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i).

• Otherwise , if the Fatigue Monitoring Program i s managing fatigue during the SPEO , justify that the disposition for these TLAAs in accordance w i th 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i) is appropriate when compared to 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(iii). FPL Response:

The PTN Fatigue Monitoring program is credited with managing fatigue of Class 1 components by ensuring that the number of occur r ences and severity of each design transient remains within the limits of the component fatigue analyses during the SPEO. Therefore , PTN will manage the effects of aging due to metal fatigue in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(iii). The PTN Fatigue Monitoring program provides for corrective actions when any applicable transient cycle count comes within 80 percent of the design or projected cycle limit.

Background:

SLRA Section 4.3.2 states a review of the ANSI B31.1 piping within the scope of SLR was performed to identify those systems that operate at elevated temperature and to establish a conservative number of projected cycles based on 80 years of operation. The applicant c i ted EPRI Report TR-104534 , " Fatigue Material Handbook" Volume 2 , Section 4 , and indicated that carbon steel systems or portions of systems with operating temperatures less than 220°F and stainless-steel systems or portions of systems with operating temperatures less than 270°F may generally be excluded from such concerns , since room temperature represents a practical minimum exposure temperature for most plant systems. SLRA Section 17.3.3.2 states that any system or portions of systems with operating temperatures less than 220°F were conservatively e x cluded from further consideration for fatigue. [emphasis addedl Issue: Analyses that meet the definition of a TLAA in 10 CFR 54.3 are required to be identified in the SLRA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 ). Based on SLRA Section 4.3.2 and specifically on Section 17.3.3.2, it appears that the applicant may have implemented the methodology described in EPRI Report TR-104534 to exclude systems or portions of systems from consideration in the SLRA as a TLAA. Request:

• Confirm that this screening criteria was not used to exclude systems or components designed for fatigue from consideration as a TLAA in the SLRA. o If it was not used in this way , discuss how the screening criteria was used in the SLRA and explain how this is in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 ). o If i t was used in this way , justify that exclus i on of these systems and components from consideration in the SLRA is in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 ). Otherwise , identify the systems or portions of systems designed for fatigue that were excluded and evaluate them in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 ).

Background:

SLRA Section 4.3.2 states that for the systems that are subjected to elevated temperatures above the fatigue threshold, a calculation was performed to determine a conservative number of projected full temperature cycles for 80 years of plant operation for the piping, tubing and in-line components. SLRA Table 4.3.2-2 provides the 80-year projected number of full temperature cycles for each of the systems evaluated in SLRA Section 4.3.2. Issue: The staff noted that the applicant provided the total number of projected transients through the end of the SPEO but did not provide the details on how these projections were determined (e.g., which transients are represented by the projections and how the projections were determined). The applicant did not explain or provide the basis for how these 80-year projections are conservative for 80 years of plant operation and how it supports the disposition of this TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i). Request:

• Explain how the number of projected full temperature cycles for 80 years of plant operation for the piping, tubing and in-line components identified in SLRA Table 4.3-2 were determined.
• Justify that these methods are conservative for demonstrating that the ASME Section Ill, Class 3 and ANSI 831.1 allowable stress calculations remain valid for the SPEO and that the number of assumed thermal cycles will not be exceeded in 80 years of plant operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i). FPL Response:
• The methodology used to determine the number of projected full temperature cycles for 80 years of plant operation for the piping, tubing and in-line components identified in SLRA Table 4.3-2 is described below. As stated in Section 4.3.2 of the SLRA, the non-Class 1 piping systems identified in Table 4.3-2 would have to experience a full thermal cycle approximately once every 4 days for the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit to be reached during 80 years of operation.

a) Reactor coolant system (RCS) The RCS piping and piping components that exceed the fatigue screening temperature of 220°F operate continuously during plant operation and would only typically be cycled during plant startup and shutdown for refueling outages and forced outages. As noted in SLRA Tables 4.3.2 and 4.3.3, the PTN RCS is designed for a maximum of 200 heatup and cooldown cycles (400 total thermal cycles), and therefore would not approach the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit. Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.3.2-2 L-2018-174 Attachment 10 Page 2 of 5 Therefore, there is significant margin in the thermal fatigue design of the RCS piping an_d piping components for the SPEO. b) Residual heat removal (RHR) system The RHR system is normally in standby service and operates at elevated temperatures only in support of RCS heatup and cooldowns. Recognizing the RCS heatup and cooldown design cycles are limited to 200 cycles, the RHR system is limited to 400 cycles which provides significant margin to the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit. Therefore, the RHR system piping design for metal fatigue remains valid for the SPEO. c) Chemical and volume control system (CVCS) Letdown piping from the eves regenerative heat exchanger operates at temperatures in excess of the thermal fatigue screening temperature of 220°F. During normal operation, there is continuous letdown flow through the letdown piping to the demineralizers for normal RCS cleanup. For this reason, thermal cycles for this piping will be significantly less than the approximately once every four (4) days required to achieve 7000 thermal cycles in 80 years of operation. Outlet piping for the eves regenerative heat exchanger and the shell side inlet of the heat exchanger are also subjected to operating temperatures above the 220°F screening temperature. On the shell side of the heat exchanger there is continuous flow with steady-state operating temperatures and thermal cycles would occur only during plant heatup and cooldown. In addition, a monthly flow path verification is performed by cycling eves system valves. This monthly cycle, in addition to the cycles during unit heatup and cooldown, would conservatively result in 80 x 12 + 400 (RCS cycles) or 1360 cycles over the 80-year SPEO. This is well below the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit. / Piping to the excess letdown heat exchanger is subjected to temperatures above the 220°F screening temperature during a unit heatup (200 cycles) when drawing a steam bubble in the pressurizer. This portion of eves piping is not subjected to cyclic operation. Therefore, the eves system piping design for thermal fatigue is conservative and remains valid for the SPEO. d) Primary sampling (only tubing is exposed to the temperature cycles) The primary sample path from the pressurizer steam space is only cycled during pressurizer heatup and cooldown. Since there are only 400 cycles allowed for heatup and cooldown of the RCS, it can be concluded that the pressurizer steam space sample piping has significant margin to the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit for the SPEO. The primary sample path from the pressurizer liquid space consists of piping and tubing that is cycled on a weekly basis. Periodic sampling of the pressurizer liquid space is also performed during RCS heatup activities. The fatigue calculation for the original license renewal determined there are no more than 10 pressurizer liquid space samples (cycles) taken per heatup/cooldown. For SLR, this would represent a maximum of (200 x 10) plus Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.3.2-2 L-2018-174 Attachment 10 Page 3 of 5 (52 x 80) or 6160 cycles over an 80-year period. This is well below the 14000 cycle screening criteria for tubing and below the 7000 thermal cycle limit for the short section of sample piping. Based on this assessment, the pressurizer liquid space sample path fatigue design remains valid for the SPEO. The sample paths for the post accident sampling system (PASS) are utilized only when the RHR system is placed in service during plant heatup and cooldown. As discussed for the RHR system above, these sample paths will experience significantly less than 7000 thermal fatigue cycles during the 80-year SPEO. Therefore, the PASS and RHR sample path piping and tubing design remains valid for the SPEO. The two sample paths from the RCS hot legs originate in the "A" and "B" hot leg piping. The sample path from the "A" RCS hot leg is considered an alternative path and is not used for periodic sampling. Therefore, this primary sample path will not experience 7000 thermal cycles during the 80-year SPEO. As described in PTN SLRA Section 4.3.2 and RAI 4.3.2-3 below, the "B" hot leg RCS sample path is expected to reach the 14,000 thermal cycle limit for tubing during the current 60_-year PEO. In accordance with Fatigue Monitoring program, this condition has been entered into the PTN corrective action program requiring resolution prior to the end of 2018. e) Secondary sampling system The section of secondary sampling system piping from the steam generators to the containment isolation valves is within the scope of license renewal and operates at temperatures above the metal fatigue screening temperature of 220°F. This system is normally in continuous service and would essentially only be cycled once every refueling or forced outage. There are additional cycles for unforeseen incidents (i.e. when steam generator blowdown is suspended); however, these are infrequent operations that will not approach the frequency of one thermal cycle every four (4) days required to approach the 7000 thermal cycle fatigue limit. Therefore, the secondary sampling system piping fatigue design remains valid for the SPEO. f) Emergency diesel generator (EOG) air (diesel exhaust) The exhaust system for the EOG diesel engines has been identified as operating at a temperature above the fatigue screening temperature of 220°F. Based on the evaluation performed for the 60-year PEO, the EOG engines are conservatively assumed to start 21 times each year. Therefore, for an 80-year life, the EOG engine exhaust system will experience a total of 1680 cycles. This represents considerable margin compared to the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit. Therefore, the EOG engine exhaust system design remains valid for the SPEO. g) Main steam and turbine The main steam and turbine system piping is typically in continuous operation Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50:-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.3.2-2 L-2018-174 Attachment 10 Page 4 of 5 while the PTN nuclear units are producing electrical power. Since the PTN nuclear units are baseloaded to the grid, the main steam and turbine system will be subjected to thermal cycles significantly less than the approximate once every four (4) days required to approach the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit. Therefore, the main steam and turbine system piping fatigue design remains valid for the SPEO. h) Feedwater and blowdown Similar to the main steam and turbine systems, the feedwater and blowdown system piping within the scope of SLR is in continuous operation while the PTN units are producing electrical power and will be subjected to thermal cycles significantly less than the approximate once every four (4) days required to approach the 7000 thermal fatigue cycle limit. Therefore, the feedwater and blowdown system piping fatigue design remains valid for the SPEO. i) Auxiliary feedwater and condensate storage (steam supply) Steam supply piping to the auxiliary feedwater pump turbines experience temperatures above the fatigue screening temperature of 220°F. The evaluation performed for this piping for the 60-year PEO determined that the piping would conservatively experience 4320 cycles over the 60-year period. Since this PEO evaluation was completed, PTN Technical Specification Section 4.7.1.2.1 for testing of the auxiliary feedwater pumps has increased the interval for pump operability testing to 92 days from the previous 31 day testing interval. For this reason, extrapolating the 31 day PEO pump thermal cycles of 4320 to 80 years would result in a conservative estimate of 5760 cycles over the 80-year SPEO. This conservative estimate of thermal cycles remains below the 7000 fatigue cycle limit. Therefore, the auxiliary feedwater system fatigue design remains valid for the SPEO. j) Auxiliary steam Piping for the auxiliary steam system within the subsequent license renewal boundary scope is confined to piping between the main steam system and the turbine gland seal system, and to the air ejectors. Piping to the turbine gland seal system and the steam jet air ejectors is in continuous operation while PTN Units 3 and 4 are producing electrical power. Piping to the priming and hogging air ejectors is only used during startup conditions. Similar to the main steam, turbine, feedwater and blowdown systems above, this piping would not approach the 7000 thermal cycle screening limit in 80 years of operation. Therefore, the auxiliary steam system fatigue design remains valid for the SPEO. k) Condensate Condensate system piping within the license renewal boundary is in continuous operation while PTN Units 3 and 4 are producing electrical power. Therefore, this piping would not experience thermal cycling approaching the 7000 fatigue cycle limit. Based on this assessment, the condensate system fatigue design Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.3.2-2 L-2018-17 4 Attachment 10 Page 5 of 5 remains valid for the SPEO. I) Feedwater heater drains and vents Feedwater heater drains and vents piping w i thin the license renewal boundary is confined to the drain piping from FWH 6A/B to FWH 5A/B and portions of the p i ping from the reheater drain tanks to the condensers. This piping is in continuous operation while PTN Units 3 and 4 are producing electrical power. Therefore , this piping would not experience thermal cycling approaching the 7000 fatigue cycle Limit. Based on this assessment , the feedwater heater drains and vents System fatigue design remains valid for the SPEO.

• With the exception of the " B" hot leg RCS sample path , the allowable stress calculations for the PTN Unit 3 and 4 non-Class 1 piping systems described above are conservative for the SPEO and the number of assumed thermal cycles will not be exceeded in 80 years of plant operation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i).

SLRA Section 4.3.2 states that the design thermal cycle limit for the reactor coolant system B hot leg tubing (i.e., less than 14 , 000 full temperature cycles) could be reached at the end of 2018 based on current operation. In order to ensure that the tubing can continue to perform its function for the current PEO as well as the SPEO, the applicant identified that one of the four actions in the SLRA can be completed. The applicant dispositioned the TLAA for the reactor coolant system B hot leg tubing in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i) and stated that the results demonstrate that the number of assumed thermal cycles will not be exceeded in 80-years of plant operation.

Issue: --As noted in the SLRA , based on the cycle accumulation for the reactor coolant system B hot leg tubing the applicant expects that the design thermal cycle limit can be reached at the end of 2018. Thus , the staff noted that the applicant has not demonstrated that the TLAA for the RCS B hot leg sample tubing will remain valid for the SPEO in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i) since the number of design cycles will be exceeded prior to the end of the SPEO. Request:

• Considering that the design cycle limit is expected to be reached by the end of 2018 , justify the disposition for the RCS B hot leg sample tubing TLAA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(i).
• Otherwise, disposition the TLAA for the RCS B hot leg sample tubing in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(ii) or (iii) and demonstrate accordingly

o If 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(ii) is selected -Provide the details of the design code allowable stress range and stress range reduction factor. Furthermore , justify that the projected number of cycles through the SPEO will be less than the revised allowable number of equivalent full temperature cycles. o If 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(iii) is selected -Describe and justify the method that will be used to manage fatigue of the RCS B hot leg sample tubing during the SPEO. FPL Response:

Per Section 4.3.2 of the PTN SLRA , the RCS B hot leg sample tubing could potentially reach its design thermal cycle limit at the end of 2018 based on current operation. As part of current license renewal , actions have been included in the PTN corrective action program and require resolution prior to the end of 2018. Thus, the TLAA for 60 years will be resolved under the current license.

RAI 4.3.3-1 Background

During its audit , the staff reviewed the licensee's refined calculations for env i ronmentally assisted fatigue (EAF) documented in Enclosure 4 and 5 of the SLRA. The staff noted that the licensee used the methodology i n the Draft Report for Comment vers i on of NUREG/CR-6909 , Rev. 1 , dated March 2014. GALL-SLR AMP X.M1 and the SRP-SLR states , in part , that environmental effects on fatigue for these critical components may be evaluated using the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.207 , Revision 1. RG 1.207 , Revision 1 , which was i ssued in June 2018 , recommends the use of NUREG/CR-6909 , Revision 1 (May 2018). Issue: The staff noted that due to the timing of the SLRA , the applicant used the most up-to-date methodology ava i lable , wh i ch was documented in the Draft Report for Comment version of NUREG/CR-6909 , Rev. 1 , dated March 2014. However , the use of this draft report is not consistent with the recommendations in the GALL-SLR and SRP-SLR. Request: o Qualitatively , discuss and justify the impacts , if any , to the r efined calculations for EAF due to the recent issuance of RG 1.207 , Revision 1. o Otherwise , justify that the use of the Draft Report for Comment version of NUREG/CR-6909 , Rev. 1 , dated March 2014 , is more conservative when compared to RG 1.207 , Revision 1. FPL Response:

o NUREG/CR-6909 Draft Revision 1 and final Revision 1 (endorsed by RG 1.207 , Revision 1) differ only in the application of strain rate for wrought and cast stainless steel materials when calculat i ng F en values. Therefore , the i mpact to the refined calculations are dependent on the impact of the F en value changes on CUF en results. o An assessment was performed to illustrate the range of conservatisms between the draft and final version of NUREG/CR-6909 Revis i on 1. The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.3.3-1 L-2018-174 Attachment 12 Page 2 of 3 strain rate parameter was revised to be equal to zero at a strain rate of 7%/sec , rather than at 10%/sec as in the draft version. The draft version of NUREG/CR-6909 , Revision 1 is conservative by up to 9% for pressurized water reactors (PWRs) (see table below) as compared to the final version as temperature increases. The table presents a comparison of the F e n results for different combinations of temperature and strain rate computed by the draft and final versions of NUREG/CR-6909 , Revision 1. Therefore , the refined EAF evaluations performed using the draft version of NUREG/CR-6909 , Revision 1 in the SLRA are conservative for stainless steel materials as compared to an evaluation using the final version of NUREG/CR-6909 , Revision 1.

Background:

Section 3.4 of Report No. 1700109.401 P.R5 indicates that 14 locations have a CU F en value greater than 1.0 when using the ASME Code fatigue curves of record for each location. Of these 14 locations, the following were not addressed in SLRA 4.3.3: the SG Tube to Tubesheet weld , RPV Head Flange and SIG Primary Chamber , Tubesheet and Stub Barrel Complex. Per the SLRA , the SG Tube to Tubesheet weld is no longer part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary since the applicant has a permanently approved H* alternate repair criteria for both the hot-and cold-leg side of the steam generator; thus , the staff noted this component would not be subject to further EAF assessment consistent with the SLR. Issue: The rationale for the inconsistency between Report No. 1700109.401 P.R5 and the SLRA is not clear for the RPV Head Flange and SIG Primary Chamber , Tubesheet and Stub Barrel Complex. Request:

• Explain and justify the inconsistency between SLRA Section 4.3.3 and Report No. 1700109.401 P.R5 for the RPV Head Flange and SIG Primary Chamber , Tubesheet and Stub Barrel Complex. FPL Response:

There was an error in Structural Integrity Associates (SI) Report No. 1700109.401 P.R5. Accordingly , the report has been revised (Reference

1) to be consistent with information in SLRA section 4.3.3 and the text that discusses locations where CUF e n screening was greater than 1. Note that Table 3-4 of Structural Integrity Associates (SI) Report No. 1700109.401 P.R7 (Reference 1 and Enclosure

3) includes revised 80-year CU F en values due to the use of the methodology described in NUREG-6909 , Revision 1 (Reference 2). As indicated in RAI 4.3.3-1 above , FPL originally used the most up-to-date methodology available in the PTN SLRA to calculate 80-year CUF en values (Reference 3).

Background:

SLRA Section 4.3.3 states the following with regard to the refined CUF en calculations

• Reactor Vessel Shell at Core Support Pads -A revised CU F e n was calculated by crediting 80-year projected design cycles for the hydrostatic test at 2485 psig pressure and 400°F temperature. CU F en Final = 0.910
• Pressurizer Upper Head -A revised CU Fen was calculated by credit i ng 80-year projected design cycles for plant loading , unloading , and boron concentration equalization transients. CUF en Final= 0.974 The applicant d i spositioned these refined CU F en calculations in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(iii), such that the effects of aging on the i ntended function(s) of these components will be adequately managed for the period of extended operation. Issue: SLRA Section 4.3.3 and Report No. L TR-SDA-11-17-13-P , Revision 2 , indicates that the CUF en Final is applicable for both Units 3 and 4 , and that 80-year projected cycles were used for certain transients. Based on SLRA Table 4.3-2 and 4.3-3 , the 80-year projected cycles are different between Units 3 and 4; thus , it's not clear which 80-year cycles were used or whether the revised CU F e n results are applicable to both units. This information is necessary to ensure that the Fatigue Monitoring Program incorporates the appropriate cycle limits and can adequately manage environmentally assisted fatigue during the SPEO. Request:
• Confirm that the 80-year projected cycles used for the transients in the refined CU F en analyses for the Reactor Vessel Shell at Core Support Pads and, the Pressurizer Upper Head is the large r number of cycles between the two units. If not , justify that the CUF en value is applicable to Un i ts 3 and 4. FPL Response:

Where 80-year projected cycles were used for the transients in the refined CU F en analyses of the reactor vessel shell at the core support pads and the pressurizer upper head, the larger number of cycles between the two units was used. Text has been added to Revis i on 4 of L TR-SDA-11-17-13 -P (Enclosure) for clarification.

Background:

SLRA Section 4.3.3 states that for the Pressurizer Spray Nozzle, a revised CU Fen was calculated by performing a finite element fatigue calculation using the methodology of Subarticle NB-3200 of Section Ill of the ASME Code and projected design cycles for plant heatup and cooldown. The applicant dispositioned this refined CUFen calculation in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(iii), such that the effects of aging on the intended function(s) of these components will be adequately managed for the period of extended operation. Issue: During its review of Calculation 1700804.315P it appears that the 80-year projected number of cycles for the inadvertent auxiliary spray was incorporated into the refined CU Fen calculation for the pressurizer spray nozzle. This information is necessary to ensure that the Fatigue Monitoring Program incorporates the appropriate cycle limits and can adequately manage environmentally assisted fatigue during the SPEO. Request:

• Clarify the discrepancy between Calculation 1700804.315P and the SLRA. Identify the transients that used 80-year projected number of cycles in the refined environmentally assisted fatigue evaluation for the Pressurizer Spray Nozzle and confirm that the Fatigue Monitoring Program manages the appropriate number of cycles to ensure the analysis remains valid for the SPEO. FPL Response:
• SLRA Section 4.3.3 indicates that a revised CU Fen was calculated for the pressurizer spray nozzle using projected design cycles for plant heatup and cooldown.

The SLRA inadvertently omitted that the other transient that used 80-year projected cycles in calculation 1700804.315P is the inadvertent auxiliary spray (IAS) cycle. One IAS cycle was used consistent with the projected number of IAS cycles from SLRA Table 4.3-2 and 4.3-3. In addition, calculation 1700804.315P Revision 2 evaluated the impact of additional IAS cycles as a buffer in case more than 1 was experienced. Up to four additional IAS cycles can be experienced without exceeding a CUFen of 1.0. As discussed in SLRA Section B.2.2.1, the FPL Fatigue Monitoring Program monitors accumulated cycles against projected values in SLRA Table 4.3-2 and Table 4.3-3 to ensure component fatigue usage, including environmental effects, remains within allowable values.

Background:

SLRA Section 4.3.3 states the following as it relates to the CROM Lower Joint:

• A revised CUFen was calculated by performing a more refined analysis and crediting 80-year projected design cycles for plant heat up, 10% step load increases, 50% step load decreases, loss of load, loss of AC power, and reactor trips (Unit 4 only). CUFen Final= 0.749 Issue: During its review of Areva Calculation No. 32-9280202, Revision 1, TP CROM Lower Joint Environmentally Assisted Fatigue, December 15, 2017, the staff noted that a unique CUFen value for both components was calculated for Units 3 and 4, which may indicate a possible variation in, but not limited to, component design or geometry, and assumed transients and number of cycles used in the calculation.

However, SLRA Section 4.3.3 only indicates one refined CU Fen value for the component. In order to determine if the Fatigue Monitoring Program will adequately manage environmentally assisted fatigue for the CROM Lower Joint it is necessary to understand whether the calculation for one unit bounds the other or whether the assumptions for both Units 3 and 4 will be incorporated into the Fatigue Monitoring Program. In addition, as noted in the SLRA and Areva Calculation No. 32-9280202, Revision 1, the transient "Rod Trips" is only applicable to the refined CU Fen calculation for Unit 4; however, the basis for this was not clear. Request:

• Clarify if a bounding CU Fen represents the CROM Lower Joint for Units 3 and 4. o If so, justify that the CU Fen value selected is applicable and appropriate for both units. Aspects such as, but not limited to transient selection, assumed number of cycles, design loading, material fabrication and geometry, should be addressed, if applicable.

o If not, confirm that the Fatigue Monitoring Program incorporates the appropriate transient cycle limits used in the respective calculation for Units 3 and 4.

• Explain and justify why the refined CU Fen calculation for Unit 3 does not incorporate the transient, "Rod Trips."

• Revision 003 of the CROM Lower Joint calculation (32-9280202) (Reference

3) adds the calculation of a bounding CUF e n that is applicable to both units. A comparison of the bounding CU F e n table with the CU F en tables of the individual units shows that each of the individual CU F en tables are subsets of the bounding CUF en table. All transient pairs and cycles from both individual unit CUF en calculations are included in the bounding CU F en calculation. A comparison of the CUF en values shows that the CUF en for Unit 3 (0.415) and the CUF en for Unit 4 (0.539) are both less than the bounding CU F en of 0.597. The only difference between Unit 3 and Unit 4 , with respect to the CU F en calculation , is the number of [ ] cycles , so a discussion of design loading , material fabricat i on and geometry differences is not applicable. o The bounding CUF en does represent the CROM Lower Joint for Units 3 and 4.

• The same 16 transients are considered in the original in-air fatigue analys i s for this location (CROM Lower Joint) for both units. The in-air fatigue analysis shows that the only transient pairs that result in part i al fatigue usage are those that include Transient 1 [ ] in the pair. The fat i gue usage at this location is dictated by the number of Transient 1 cycles: when all Transient 1 cycles have been considered (in ranges with the other transients), all remaining transient pairs result in an alternating stress that is below the endurance limit and the r efore they do not contribute to the cumulative usage. For Unit 3 , there are [ ] cycles of Transient 1 [ ]. As Table 6-7 in 32-9280202-001 (Reference

1) indicated , these [ ] cycles of Transient 1 are consumed when paired with Transient 10 [ Transient 11 [ ] and Transient 7 [ ] listed in order of decreasing alternating stress. Since at this po i nt all Transient 1 cycles have been consumed , other transient pairs (with Transient 5 , Transient 16 , or other transients) result in no additional fatigue usage and therefore do not need to be considered. For Unit 4 , there are [ ] cycles of Transient 1 [ ]. As Table 6-8 in 32-9280202-001 (Reference

1) indicated , all but ( ] of the [ ] cycles are consumed when Transient 1 is paired with T ransient 10 ( , ] Trans i ent 11 [ ] and Transient 7 [ ] listed i n order of decreasing alternating stress. 32-9280202-001 (Reference

1) indicated that the remaining

[ ] cycles of Transient 1 are consumed by Transient 5 ( ] and Transien t 16 ( ]. In researching this RAI , Framatome discovered that there are [ ] cycles , not just [ ] of T ransient 5 available for combination with the remaining cycles of Transient

1. Revision 002 of the calculation (Reference

2) corrected the transient combination for the remaining

[ ] cycles of Transient 1 (all [ ] remaining cycles are credited to the Transient 1 -Transient 5 pair), and WITHHELD FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE UNDER 10 CFR 2.390 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.3.3-5 L-2018-174 Attachment 16 Page 3 of 3 therefore the Unit 4 CU F en calculation no longer relies on the Transient 1 -Transient 16 pair, meaning that Transient 16 [ ] is no longer considered in the Unit 4 CU F en calculation. This revision resulted in a CU F en of 0.539 for Unit 4. With the correction to the CU F en calculation for Unit 4 it can be seen that the transient 16 [ ] is not applicable to the CUF en calculation for either unit.

Request: Discuss whether errors in pipe stress software as discussed in AR 01610224 affected the loading calculations used in the LBB analysis of Class 1 auxiliary piping in SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3 and SIA Report No. 0901350.304, Revision 2. FPL Response: The software error identified in AR 01610224 is related to the thermal stratification calculation module in PIPESTRSS. For the loading calculation used in the LBB analysis of Class 1 auxiliary piping in SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3 and SIA Report No. 0901350.304, Revision 2, the PIPESTRESS software use was limited to the evaluation of design loads such as deadweight + pressure, thermal expansion, seismic inertia, transient loading and wind loading. Therefore, the AR 01610224 software error notice is not applicable to PTN 3 & 4 LBB piping evaluations of the Class 1 auxiliary piping.

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.4-5 Issue: The following issues are related to the LBS analysis in SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3. (a) Section 3 of SIA Report states that the subject piping has no active degradation mechanisms such as water hammer, corrosion, and high cycle fatigue. However, the applicant did not provide inspection history of the subject piping. (b) Page v of the SIA report states that "The LBS evaluation was performed in accordance with the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A GDC-4 and NUREG-1061, Vol. 3 [6] as supplemented by NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan 3.6.3 [7]. .. " The NRC staff notes that SRP 3.6.3 has been revised and the latest edition is March 2007. (c) Page viii of the LBS analysis states that " ... Limit load analysis as outlined in NUREG-0800, SRP 3.6.3, was utilized in this evaluation in order to determine the critical flaw sizes since the materials involved in this evaluation are stainless steel piping ... " Page 1-3 of the SIA report stated that "Critical flaw size evaluation, based on elastic-plastic fracture mechanics techniques, is used to determine the length and depth of defects that would be predicted to cause pipe rupture under specific design basis loading conditions, including abnormal conditions such as a seismic event and including appropriate safety margins for each loading condition ... " Section 5-1, Page 5-1, of the SIA report stated that the limit load method was used to calculate the critical crack sizes. It is not clear why the limit load method is discussed on pages viii and 5-1 but page 1-3 discusses the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics method. (d) Figures 5-1 to 5-6 of the LBS analysis present leakage flaw size versus normal operating stress. However, the leakage flaw size on the Y axis and the normal operating stress values on the X axis are not identified or marked in the figures. Request: (a) Describe the inspection history of the subject piping including results from previously performed inspections and inspection frequency since the commercial operation. (b) Discuss whether the latest SRP 3.6.3 dated March 2007 was used in the LBS analysis. (c) Clarify why pages viii and 5-1 stated that critical crack size was calculated based on the limited load method whereas page 1-3 stated that critical flaw size was calculated based on the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analysis.

Identify the limiting leakage flaw size for each subject piping in Figures 5-1 to 5-6. FPL Response: (a) Appendix B, paragraph B.2.3.1 of the SLR application provides details of the inspection history of the subject piping since commercial operation. The history includes ASME Code, Section XI in-service inspections results to the requirements of subsections IWB, IWC and IWD of the Code as well as industry and site specific operating experience, QA audits and NRC inspections. It is concluded that the inspection history provides reasonable assurance that the subject piping has no active degradation mechanisms such as water hammer, corrosion, and high cycle fatigue, and provides a representative inspection history of the subject piping. (b) The latest SRP 3.6.3 dated March 2007 was used in the LBB analysis. Reference 7 in the SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 4 has been revised. (c) The elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analysis (involving J-integral/tearing modulus analysis) was not used in current analysis as stated in the last sentence on page 1-3. (d) The values of leakage flaw size and normal operating stress have been added to the figures and are provided below.

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.4-6 Issue: SRP 3.6.3 specifies that piping qualified for LBB be evaluated to determine whether degradation mechanisms of wall thinning, creep and cleavage exist. Section 3 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3, does not discuss these degradation mechanisms. Request: Discuss whether wall thinning, creep and cleavage have occurred or will occur in the accumulator lines, RHR lines and safety injection lines. FPL Response: Wall thinning Wall thinning is not expected to occur in the piping systems under consideration since the piping of these systems is fabricated from stainless steel which is not susceptible to wall thinning. This was covered in SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3 under Section 3.2 as flow accelerated corrosion (FAC). In addition, wall thinning is not an aging effect requiring management for RCS piping as indicated in SLRA Table 3.1.2-1. Creep Creep is not expected to occur in the piping systems under consideration since these are stainless steel piping systems that operate at temperatures below 800°F. Cleavage Cleavage is not expected to occur in the piping systems under consideration since these are fabricated from stainless steel which is very ductile at the operating temperatures of these piping systems.

Request: Discuss whether the thermal fatigue issue in MRP-146 and MRP-192 affects the LBB analysis of Class 1 auxiliary piping. If yes, discuss whether the LBB analysis in SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3 and SIA Report No. 0901350.304, Revision 2, considered the thermal fatigue discussed in these two MRP reports. If the Class 1 auxiliary piping does experience thermal fatigue, discuss how the auxiliary piping satisfies the screening criteria of SRP 3.6.3 which prohibits LBB be applied to piping experiencing fatigue. FPL Response: Thermal fatigue issues identified in MRP-146 were evaluated for all RCS Class 1 auxiliary piping lines at PTN in SIA Calculation PTN-OBQ-301, Revision 1 (Reference 1 ). The evaluation concluded that the surge line and the RHR line and the safety injection line (of which the accumulator lines are part of) screened out and did not warrant any further evaluation. Since the RHR line considered for the LBB analysis does not include mixing tee, MRP-192 is not applicable.

From the BACs [bounding analysis curves] and load points plotted in Figure 5-7 to Figure 5-12 all the stress points for both Units 3 and 4 are below 10 gpm BACs except for stress point 21 OM in the Unit 4 Accumulator Line as shown in Figure 5-7. Since the stress point 21 OM is in the middle of an elbow, removing the conservatism in using the weld material Z factor for pipe/elbow materials, the BAC is plotted using a Z factor of 1.0 as shown in Figure 5-13. Using a Z factor of 1.0, stress point 21 OM is under the 10 GPM BAC ... " (a) It is not clear what conservatism was included in the original analysis. For example, what is the original Z factor used prior to use 1.0 for the Z factor? Page 5-3 discusses the use of Z factor for welds based on the shield metal arc welding process. (b) It is not clear why the stress point 21 OM is located in the middle of an elbow. Figure 4-2 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3, identified only the points associated with the welds at the both ends of the elbow in Loop A of the accumulator line, not in the middle of the elbow. Request: (a) Provide the original Z factor used for the 21 OM stress point in the Unit 4 accumulator pipe in the limit load analysis. Discuss the calculated leak rate using the original Z factor. Discuss the conservatism in the original analysis in terms of the Z factor. (b) Clarify the exact location of the stress point 21 OM as modeled in the pipe stress analysis. FPL Response: (a) The original Z factor used for the 21 OM stress point in the Unit 4 accumulator pipe is 1.444 as provided in Table 4-6 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3. The Z factor is only used in calculating the critical flaw size. The leakage crack size is not affected by the Z factor. The original Z factor of 1.444 is for the weld material which provides conservative results when used for base material location (such as 21 OM stress point) where Z factor of 1.0 can be used.

The staff notes that each of Figures 5-9 to 5-12 represents a specific location of the surge line. Request: Explain why pressurizer surge lines have only one stress data point in each of Figures 5-9 to 5-12 whereas for the accumulator and RHR piping multiple stress points are indicated in Figures 5-7 and 5-8 , respectively. FPL Response: For the accumulator and RHR p i ping , stresses were avai l able for all the nodal points and therefore , all these locat i ons were considered in the BACs. However, for the surge line , only the bounding stress locations , which happened to be at the terminal ends , were available. These terminal end locations were therefore used for the LBB evaluation. This is deemed acceptable because as noted in subparagraphs 111(11 )(c)(ii) and 111(11 )(c)(iii) in SRP 3.6.3 , for each pipe size in the p i ping system , the through-wall flaw can be postulated at the l ocation that has the least favorable combination of stress and materia l properties fo r base metal , weldments , nozzles , and safe ends. For the surge line , as noted in Table 4-10 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401 , Revision 3, node points corresponding to bounding locations in the 12" pipe and the 14" pipe at the nozzle end was selected for both the pressurizer end and the hot leg end. Since the BACs are a function of the pipe diameter and operating conditions , separate figures are need for the 12" pipe (Figures 5-11 and 5-12) and the 14" pipe at the nozzle end (Figures 5-9 and 5-10). For each of the configurations , there are two figures due to two different operating conditions.

It is not clear how the bounding analysis curves demonstrate (a) the margins on the crack size and leakage detection in SRP 3.6.3 have been satisfied , and (b) the crack stability. FPL Response: The bounding analysis curves (BACs) provide the loci of normal operating (NOP) stresses and maximum (NOP+SSE) stresses that must be met to achieve the margins of 10 on leakage detection and 2 on leakage-to-critical c r ack sizes as required by SRP 3.6.3. Points on or below the BAC curve meet the stability margin for a particular leakage detection capability while points above the BAC curve do not meet the stability margin. Thus , the BACs are simply a pictor i al representation demonstrating whether the LBB margins have been met or not. The procedure described i n Section 5.3 of the r eport provides details of how the BACs are determined including the margins.

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.4-14 Issue: Section 6.3 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3, discusses the derivation of the allowable flaw size. SRP 3.6.3 specifies a leakage flaw size and critical flaw size, not an allowable flaw size. Request: Discuss how the allowable flaw size is used in the LBS analysis and the relationship among the allowable flaw size, leakage flaw size and critical flaw size. FPL Response: The allowable flaw size was not used in the mechanistic LBS analysis as outlined in SRP 3.6.3. Rather, it was used in the fatigue crack growth analysis as an acceptance criterion for part-through wall flaws (Section 6.4.3) to which the final crack growth is compared. The allowable flaw size is represented in terms of the allowable end-of-evaluation period flaw depth-to-thickness ratio per ASME Code Section XI, Appendix C. The leakage flaw size and critical flaw size are used in the fatigue crack growth analysis of through-wall flaws (Section 6.4.4).

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4. 7 .4-15 Issue: (a) Section 6.4.4 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3, provides the leakage flaw size for the subject piping. However, the report does not provide specific calculated critical crack size for the subject piping. The report does state that the critical crack size is twice of the calculated leakage flaw size. However, without showing the actual calculated critical crack size based on material fracture toughness, it is not evident that there is a margin of 2 on the crack size as specified by SRP 3.6.3. (b) The second paragraph on Page 6-7 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3, compares the calculated crack growth to the circumference of the accumulator pipe to demonstrate the crack stability. However, in a typical LBB evaluation, the crack growth is added to the leakage crack size to obtain the final leakage crack size at the end of 80 years. The final leakage crack size is compared to the critical crack size. The final leakage crack size should not exceed the half of the critical crack size in order to satisfy the margin of 2 as specified in SRP 3.6.3. (c) The second paragraph on Page 6-7 of SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3, states that" ... For the Accumulator Line, the maximum am+ab is 19.02 ksi (including internal pressure), and the bounding leakage flaw size is 2.53 inches with bending stress= 0 for 5GPM (Figure 5-1) ... " The staff has questions on the use of 5 gpm because the leakage flaw size should provide a leak rate of 10 gpm in order to satisfy the margin of 10 with respect to the RCS detection system capability of 1 gpm. Request: (a) Provide the calculated critical crack size based on material fracture toughness for the accumulator, RHR and surge lines. (b) Provide numbers to show that the leakage flaw size plus the crack growth (i.e., the final leakage crack size at the end of 80 years) still maintain a margin of 2 with respect to the critical crack size for each of the subject piping at the end of 80 years. (c) stress= 0 for 5 GPM ... " Explain why bending stress at a leak rate of 5 gpm is used and not 10 gpm. Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 FPL Response to NRC RAI No. 4.7.4-15 L-2018-174 Attachment 31 Page 2 of 3 FPL Response: (a) As detailed in the response to the Request in RAI 4.7.4-11, in using the BAC . approach, the critical crack size is not specifically calculated for each nodal point in the accumulator, RHR and surge line piping. Rather, a generic relationship between the critical crack size and the maximum stress was developed as part of the BAC approach as shown in the response to RAI 4.7.4-12. In developing the BACs, the critical crack size is assumed to be equal to twice the leakage flaw size to meet the stability margin of 2 stipulated in SRP 3.6.3. Since all points are below the BACs, it implies that a margin of at least 2 between the critical and leakage crack sizes is achieved for all nodal points considered in the analysis. The critical crack size was calculated using the modified limit load approach in SRP 3.6.3 since all piping materials are stainless steel and, therefore, the fracture toughness was not needed. (b) The margin of 2 between the leakage crack size and the critical crack size has already been demonstrated in the BAC approach and is not required to be demonstrated in the crack growth analysis. The objective of the fatigue crack growth analysis is to show that the growth of an initial part through-wall flaw (which is equivalent to the ASME Section XI acceptance standard flaw) will be below the ASME Section XI allowable flaw size and will be detected by the plant in-service inspection program as part of defense-in-depth for the LBB analysis. Though not required by the SRP 3.6.3, a through-wall crack growth analysis is also performed to show that there is adequate time for the plant to take the necessary action before the crack reaches the critical through-wall crack size. A very conservative analysis was performed, where the initial through-wall flaw size was set at the 'maximum' leakage flaw size considering all the nodal points (even though from the part-wall crack growth analysis, the initial ASME Section XI acceptance standard flaw would not become a through-wall flaw after 80 years). The critical flaw size was also set as the 'minimum' critical flaw size considering all node points. Because of the conservative assumptions made in the original analysis in SIA Report No. 0901350.401, Revision 3, a more realistic crack growth evaluation was performed in response to the present RAI. The results of the analysis presented in the below table demonstrate that in all cases the final crack size does not reach the critical crack size despite the conservative nature of the evaluation. SIA Report 0901350.401 Rev. 3 has been updated with the revised crack growth evaluation.

Half critical crack size (ac) is the minimum considering all nodes. 2. Half leakage crack size (aL) is the maximum considering all nodes (for 5.0 gpm). (c) Several studies performed by the industry such as that reported in MRP-140 has shown that plants are capable of detecting leakages far smaller than 1.0 gpm which is typically used in LBB analysis. In fact, plants have indicated that they are capable of detecting leakages as low as 0.1 gpm. So, whereas in the mechanistic LBB analysis per SRP 3.6.3, the traditional detectable leakage of 1.0 gpm (10.0 gpm with a factor of 10) was used for conservatism. For the through-wall crack growth analysis, a more realistic upper bound leakage detection limit of 0.5 gpm (5.0 gpm with a factor of 10) was used in determining the initial crack size. As explained in Item (b) above, conservative assumption was made in the through-wall crack growth analysis -i.e., minimum critical crack size and maximum leakage crack size of all node points. In order to not compound the conservatisms, a more realistic initial leakage flaw size for 5 gpm was used in the fatigue crack growth analysis.

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4. 7 .4-17 Issue: The following issues are related to the fatigue crack growth evaluations in SIA Report No. 0901350.304, Revision 2. (a) Section 1, Page 4, of the fatigue crack growth evaluation discusses correction for the errors documented in Corrective Action Report (CAR) 17-012. (b) Section 2 of the fatigue crack growth evaluation states that the ASME Code Section XI fatigue crack growth law for austenitic stainless steels (for 60 years) and the ASME Code Case N-809 fatigue crack growth law (for 80 years) were used to perform the crack growth analysis. Request: (a) Discuss the errors in CAR 17-012 that caused the update of the fatigue crack growth calculations for the subject piping. Discuss whether the error affects calculations related to other nuclear power plants. (b) Discuss why two separate documents (methods) were used to calculate the fatigue crack growth. FPL Response: (a) SIA Calculation No. 0901350.304, Revision 2 provides details of the crack growth evaluation regarding the LBB analysis for the accumulator, RHR and surge line lines at PTN. Page 15 of SIA Calculation No. 0901350.304, Revision 2 states" ... conservative aspect ratio (a/1) of 0.1." Typically, in fracture mechanics evaluations, 'I' refers to the total crack length. The solution in pc-CRACK uses the crack length, which is typically denoted using the variable, c (i.e., I= 2c). So, for an a/I value of 0.1, the corresponding value of ale is 0.2. However, in the original calculations, an ale value of 0.05 was used in error. Since this is a user input error, it does not affect calculations related to other nuclear power plants. (b) The error in CAR 17-012 affected the original fatigue crack growth calculations for 60 years which used the fatigue crack growth law described in Section 3.4.1 of SIA Calculation No. 0901350.304, Revision 2. Hence, for consistency and comparison purposes, the 60 years fatigue crack growth was performed using the original fatigue crack growth law. However, for 80 years, recently developed fatigue crack growth law described in Section 3.4.2 of SIA Calculation No. 0901350.304, Revision 2 was utilized.

ML 18269A209 and ML 18269A210 dated October 1, 2018 RAI 4.7.4-18 Issue: Section 3.2.5 of SIA Report, 0901350.304, Rev. 2, states that 51 cycles of safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) loading (one SSE cycle assumed, along with 50 cycles of operating basis earthquake (QBE)) were used in the fatigue crack growth calculations. The staff notes that the 51 cycles of SSE and QBE loads in calculating the fatigue crack growth for the subject piping are based on generic values, not plant-specific values. Request: Demonstrate that the 51 cycles of QBE plus SSE, with associated earthquake loads used in the fatigue crack growth calculations bound the plant-specific transient cycles and earthquake loadings specified in the current licensing basis at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. FPL Response:

• Per SIA Report No. 1700109.402P, Rev. 4, Section 3.0, the design number of cycles of QBE, 50 cycles, bounds the actual number of cycles for 80-year projections.

For the fatigue crack growth calculations, 51 cycles of SSE loading (i.e. stress for SSE event) was used as a conservative input to represent one SSE cycle and 50 cycles of OBE.
