- 1. To align aging management review tables with the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Bolting Integrity AMP (B.2.3.9) enhancement to inspect submerged bolting, LRA Tables 3.3.2-3 (Saltwater and Chlorination System) and 3.3.2-5 (Makeup Water System) are revised to include management of loss of material for stainless steel closure bolting exposed to water environments by the DCPP Bolting Integrity AMP (B.2.3.9). Plant-specific notes are added to reference NUREG-2191 item VII.I.A-423 as the basis for the changes.
- 2. LRA Table 3.3.2-3 is revised to remove the following row to reflect actual plant configuration: Copper Alloy (15% Zinc and 8% Aluminum) Piping, Piping Components with a pressure boundary intended function exposed to a plant indoor air external environment. The in-scope Copper Alloy (15% Zinc and 8%
Aluminum) Piping, Piping Components with a pressure boundary intended function are all underground, and therefore, are captured by an existing AMR line that credits the Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP (B.2.3.26).
- 3. LRA Table 3.3.2-3 is revised to reflect replacement of the Pump Casing (Screen Refuse Pumps) identified as part of the annual update review. The previous pumps were carbon steel while the new pumps are stainless steel.
- 4. LRA Table 3.3.2-5 is revised to correct a valve material from stainless steel to carbon steel. This correction results in the deletion of the AMR line for Stainless Steel Valve Body with a pressure boundary intended function exposed to a plant indoor air external environment managed by the Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP.
- 5. LRA Table 3.3.2-5 is revised to add new AMR lines for management of carbon steel and cast iron (gray cast iron) abandoned in place piping, piping components and valve bodies exposed to raw water (int) with the DCPP Inspection of Internal Surfaces of Miscellaneous Piping and Ducting Components (B.2.3.24).
- 6. LRA Table 3.3.2-5 is revised to update NUREG-1801 Items from V.D2.EP-107, 3.2-1, 004 to VII.C1.AP-221, 3.3-1, 006, to more closely align with the Makeup Water System being an Auxiliary System. Corresponding changes are made to LRA Section 3.2.2.2.3, item 2, and Table 3.2-1.
Enclosure Attachment B PG&E Letter DCL-25-023 Page 2 of 6 Supplement - DCPP LRA, Amendment 4 LRA Section 3.2.2.2.3 on page 3.2-7 is revised as follows:
3.2.2.2.3 Loss of Material due to Pitting and Crevice Corrosion
- 2.
Loss of material due to pitting and crevice corrosion could occur for stainless steel piping, piping components, piping elements, and tanks exposed to outdoor air. The possibility of pitting and crevice corrosion also extends to components exposed to air which has recently been introduced into buildings, i.e., components near intake vents. Pitting and crevice corrosion is only known to occur in environments containing sufficient halides (primarily chlorides) and in which condensation or deliquescence is possible. Condensation or deliquescence should generally be assumed to be possible. Applicable outdoor air environments (and associated indoor air environments) include, but are not limited to, those within approximately 5 miles of a saltwater coastline, those within 1/2 mile of a highway which is treated with salt in the wintertime, those areas in which the soil contains more than trace chlorides, those plants having cooling towers where the water is treated with chlorine or chlorine compounds, and those areas subject to chloride contamination from other agricultural or industrial sources. This item is applicable for the environments described above.
GALL AMP XI.M36, External Surfaces Monitoring, is an acceptable method to manage the aging effect. The applicant may demonstrate that this item is not applicable by describing the outdoor air environment present at the plant and demonstrating that external pitting or crevice corrosion is not expected. The GALL Report recommends further evaluation to determine whether an aging management program is needed to manage this aging effect based on the environmental conditions applicable to the plant and requirements applicable to the components.
As summarized in item 3.2-1, 004, there are no stainless steel piping, piping components, piping elements, or tanks exposed to atmosphere/weather in ESF Systemsloss of material of stainless steel piping and piping components exposed to atmosphere/weather is managed by the DCPP External Surfaces Monitoring of Mechanical Components AMP (B.2.3.22).

As discussed in LRA Section 4.3.2.7, in 2018, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) obtained NRC approval of an alternative for application of a full structural weld overlay (SWOL) for the residual heat removal suction pipe-to-elbow in Units 1 and 2.
The 2018 approval applied through the operating license dates of November 2, 2024, for Unit 1, and August 26, 2025, for Unit 2. In 2024, to address continued operations, PG&E requested NRC to extend the approval of the subject SWOLs to the end of the fifth 10-year inservice inspection (ISI) interval as an extension of alternative request REP-RHR-SWOL (ML24180A205).
In the 2024 safety evaluation (new LRA Reference 4.9.24), NRC confirmed the SWOL design, installation, and continued inspections provide reasonable assurance of SWOL structural integrity for the extended service life.
LRA Sections 4.3.2.7 and 4.9 are updated to provide NRC this additional information related to the SWOL TLAA. There were no changes to the design or analysis as part of the extension of alternative request REP-RHR-SWOL.

4.3.2.7 Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping TLAA Evaluation Residual Heat Removal Suction Pipe-to-Elbow Structural Weld Overlays Full Alloy 52M (nickel alloy) structural weld overlays were completed on the Unit 1 suction pipe-to-elbow weld WIB-228 in 2019 and on the Unit 2 suction pipe-to-elbow weld WIB-245 in 2018, to provide long-term mitigation of future crack growth in the original stainless steel welds. The results of the inspection and repairs were reported to the NRC in letters DCL-18-050 (Reference ML18254A426) and DCL-19-054 (Reference ML19182A361). The weld overlays were designed to ASME Code,Section XI, Code Case N-740-2, as approved by NRC in 2018 and 2024 (References 4.9.11 and 4.9.24, respectively) for this specific application at DCPP. The overlays were supported by a fatigue analysis and crack growth analysis, both of which are TLAAs.
The weld overlays were analyzed for fatigue with a resulting CUF less than 1.0. The fatigue results qualify the overlays to the 50-year design basis number of transients as described in UFSAR Table 5.2-4 (see Table 4.3-1).
The crack growth analysis also uses the 50-year design basis number of transients as described in UFSAR Table 5.2-4 and indicates the allowable flaw depth will not be reached for the assumed number of transients.

A.2.2.1 ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC and IWD The DCPP ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC, and IWD AMP is an existing AMP that manages cracking, loss of fracture toughness, and loss of material in Class 1, 2, and 3 piping and components within the scope of LR. The AMP includes periodic visual, surface, volumetric examinations, and leakage tests of Class 1, 2, and 3 pressure-retaining components, including welds, pump casings, valve bodies, vessels, integral attachments, and pressure-retaining bolting. This AMP is in accordance with the ASME Code Section XI Edition and Addenda approved in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a. The DCPP ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC and IWD AMP is augmented to perform periodic outside diameter inspection of the susceptible population of ASME Code Class 1 small-bore piping socket welds (10 percent with a maximum of 25 welds per Unit) in each ISI interval in the PEO.

A.2.2.21 One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small Bore-Piping The DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping AMP is a new condition monitoring AMP that will augment the existing ASME Code,Section XI requirements.
The DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping AMP is applicable to small-bore ASME Code Class 1 piping and systems less than NPS 4 inches and greater than or equal to NPS 1 inch. The DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping AMP will perform one-time volumetric, opportunistic destruction examination, or another approved inspection of a sample of this Class 1 piping focused on full (butt) and partial penetration (socket) welds. The DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping AMP will include measures to verify that degradation is not occurring, thereby either confirming that there is no need to manage age-related degradation or validating the effectiveness of any existing AMP for the PEO. The DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping AMP will include locations that are susceptible to cracking and will be applicable to systems that have not experienced cracking of ASME Code Class 1 small-bore piping. The DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping AMP will also be applicable to systems that have experienced cracking but then implemented design changes to effectively mitigate cracking. Should evidence of cracking be revealed by a one-time inspection, the need for a periodic inspection will be addressed by the CAP and a new plant-specific AMP developed, as warranted. The DCPP ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC and IWD AMP is augmented to perform periodic outside diameter inspection of the susceptible population of ASME Code Class 1 small-bore piping socket welds (10 percent with a maximum of 25 welds per Unit) in each ISI interval in the PEO.
This new DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore AMP will be implemented prior to November 2, 2024 and August 26, 2025 for Units 1 and 2, respectively.
Industry and plant-specific OE will be evaluated in the development and implementation of this program.

The enhancements areis to be implemented in accordance with the schedule provided in the Commitment Tableprior to November 2, 2024.
Element Enhancement 1 - Scope of Program Augment the program scope to include a plant specific small-bore piping outside diameter inspection of 10 percent of the susceptible ASME Code Class 1 socket weld population greater than or equal to NPS 1 inch and less than NPS 4 inches with a maximum of 25 welds per unit using visual and penetrant examinations in each ISI interval in the PEO.

The first two exams showed the flaw as unchanged in size. If during the third successive exam the flaw has reached 50 percent through wall depth, PG&E will reanalyze the current acceptability and projected flaw growth rate for the remainder of the PEO and continue monitoring it on a periodic basis.

B.2.3.21 One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small Bore-Piping Program Description The one-time inspections will be completed prior to November 2, 2024 and August 26, 2025 for Units 1 and 2 respectively. Evaluation of the inspection results may indicate the need for additional or periodic examinations and may warrant development of a new plant-specific AMP.
As discussed in the OE section below, evaluation of the one-time inspection results led to augmentation of the DCPP ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC and IWD AMP to perform periodic outside diameter inspection of the susceptible population of ASME Code Class 1 small-bore piping socket welds (10 percent with a maximum of 25 welds per Unit) in each ISI interval in the PEO.
Operating Experience Plant Specific Operating Experience A recent DCPP OE search was performed for LR which covered a date range of March 1994 through February 2023. The results of the DCPP OE search did not identifiedy one applicable 2022 instanceexamples of cracking in ASME Code Class 1 small-bore piping greater than or equal to NPS 1 inch and less than NPS 4 inches. The DCPP OE search did further identifiedy the followingtwo examples from 1994 that demonstrate ASME Code Class 1 piping deficiencies are entered into the corrective action program and appropriate actions are taken to evaluate and correct the deficiencies, including performing extent of condition evaluations as necessary.
x In 1994, a cracked weld coupling on a pressurizer level instrument capillary fill line (less than NPS 1 inch) was identified. It was determined that the crack was due to a lack of fusion in the tubing weld and previous metal removal resulting in fatigue cracking. The corrective action was to install new tubing.
x In 1994, an excess letdown piping reducer segment socket weld showed a crack indication. The evaluation determined that the likely cause was due to inter-granular stress corrosion cracking caused by sensitization of the base metal as a result of the initial welding process. Further review concluded that this stress corrosion crack occurred on the ASME Class 2 portion of the piping. The corrective action was to replace the piping and use a fatigue-resistant weld, which is considered a design change to mitigate cracking.
x In 2022, a through-wall indication was identified on a RCS loop cold leg vacuum refill piping socket weld. The cause of the degradation was vibration-induced fatigue propagation of a flaw initiated at a weld defect. Corrective actions consisted of a design change to reconfigure the piping to increase fatigue margin. Extent of condition examinations were performed on similar welds and did not identify any weld cracking indications.
Enclosure Attachment G PG&E Letter DCL-25-023 Page 6 of 6 Supplement - DCPP LRA, Amendment 4 In 2024, during implementation of this AMP, a flaw was identified on the exterior of a Unit 2 RCP injection seal line socket weld. The weld was removed, and destructive examination identified the flaw was caused by SCC on the outside diameter of the pipe. Extent of condition examinations were performed on seven similar welds with no weld cracking indications identified. PG&E is augmenting the DCPP ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection, Subsections IWB, IWC and IWD AMP to perform periodic outside diameter inspection of the susceptible population of ASME Code Class 1 small-bore piping socket welds (10 percent with a maximum of 25 welds per Unit) in each ISI interval in the PEO.
The DCPP OE provides objective evidence that the measures in place to monitor cracking of ASME Code Class 1 small-bore piping have been effective. These examples also demonstrate that ASME Code Class 1 piping deficiencies are entered into the CAP and appropriate actions are taken to evaluate the deficiencies, determine their cause, and correct them.
AMP effectiveness will be assessed at least every five years per NEI 14-12.
The DCPP One-Time Inspection of ASME Code Class 1 Small-Bore Piping AMP will be informed and enhanced when necessary through the systematic and ongoing review of both plant-specific and industry OE, including research and development, such that the effectiveness of the AMP is periodically evaluated.

B.2.3.38 Inaccessible Power Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements Program Description A one-timebaseline inspection of pull boxes, including cables and cable support structures, will be performed prior to November 2, 2024, and August 26, 2025, for Units 1 and 2, respectively.,
which will include inspection of cables and cable structures Periodic and opportunistic inspections will be conducted via the DCPP Structures Monitoring AMP (B.2.3.33) during the PEO. The frequency of inspections may increase and repair/replacement may be implemented as determined by the plant corrective action program if adverse conditions are identified. The intake structure pull boxes are inspected prior to November 2, 2024, and August 26, 2025, for Units 1 and 2, respectively, and every refueling outage thereafter.
Exceptions to NUREG-1801 Exception 1 to Element 2, Preventive Actions Exception is taken to the Preventive Action element for annual direct observation of cables and cable supports: The periodic inspections of pull boxes for water accumulation will ensure the cables, splices, and cable supports are not submerged. However, these inspections will not include direct inspection of accessible cable conduit ends or direct inspection of cables and cable support structures. Instead, a one-timebaseline inspection of pull boxes will be performed prior to November 2, 2024, and August 26, 2025, for Units 1 and 2, respectively, which will include inspection for excessive drooping or sagging of cables and for visible indications of damage or degradation to cables and cable supports. Further, periodic and opportunistic inspections will be conducted via the DCPP Structures Monitoring AMP (B.2.3.33) during the PEO. The frequency of inspections may increase and repair/replacement may be implemented as determined by the plant corrective action program if adverse conditions are identified during the one-time inspection.
Justification for Exception Justification for Exception 1 The in-scope electrical pull boxes between the intake structure and turbine building are designed with drain conduits that drain to pull boxes at the intake and turbine building. The end pull boxes drain to a building sump or to an in-ground drain sump, which is separate from the pull boxes. The in-ground drain sump has an automatic sump pump and high-level alarm, which provides indication of pump failure before water in the sump backs up into pull boxes. The pull box sump pump and alarm features are tested annually prior to the rainy season. The DCPP pull box layout and sump pumps minimize the potential for submergence of cables, splices, and cable supports. The periodic pull box water inspections and dewatering system further reduce the potential for submergence of cables and cable support structures and reduce the potential for cable degradation. Review of DCPP OE did not identify adverse trends
Enclosure Attachment H PG&E Letter DCL-25-023 Page 4 of 4 Supplement - DCPP LRA, Amendment 4 of cable degradation. Hence periodic annual inspections consisting of direct observation of cables, cable support structures, and accessible conduit ends are not necessary. Any degradation of cables and cable support structures are expected to be detected during the pre-PEO baselineone-time and periodic and opportunistic inspections of pull boxes in the PEO, which will prompt repair/replacement of cables and cable supports and more frequent inspections of cables and cable supports as determined by the plant corrective action program.
Furthermore, engineering evaluation will be conducted if cables are found to be submerged in pull boxes to assess the impact of submergence on cable degradation and determine the cause of water accumulation, including any potential drain conduit blockage with appropriate corrective actions taken.
Enhancements The DCPP Inaccessible Power Cables Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements AMP will be enhanced as follows, for alignment with NUREG-1801.
The enhancements are to be implemented prior to November 2, 2024, and August 26, 2025, for Units 1 and 2, respectively.
Element Enhancement 2 - Preventive Actions A baselineone-time inspection of pull boxes will be performed prior to November 2, 2024, and August 26, 2025, for Units 1 and 2, respectively, which will include inspections for excessive drooping or sagging of cables, and visible indications of damage or degradation of cables and cable supports.
Operating Experience Plant Specific Operating Experience From its OE review, PG&E found examples where water accumulation in pull boxes was identified and corrective actions were taken, such as dewatering and initiating requests for evaluations when required by procedures. Examples include instances iIn 2018 and 2024, two where pull boxes were identified with higher than expected water level due to.
An engineering evaluation was performed, which determined the cause was less than adequate performance of the sump pumps in a downstream pull box. Corrective actions were taken to pump out water, restore sump pump performance through maintenance or pump motor replacement, and enhance personnel response time to sump pump alarmsresulted in replacing the affected sump pump/motor and float switch. No recurrence of this issue was noticed during the operating experience search. The annual sump pump testing conducted prior to the rainy season will continue to identify any sump pump inadequacies prior to long-term wetting of cables.
Enclosure Attachment I PG&E Letter DCL-25-023 Page 1 of 3 Supplement - DCPP LRA, Amendment 4 Attachment I: Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks AMP Affected LRA Sections: Section B.2.3.26 LRA Page Numbers: B.2-125 Description of Change:
In the justification for Exception 1 in LRA Section B.2.3.26, PG&E cites the OE review discussed in DCL-16-032 (Reference ML16141A837) for the 10 years prior to 2016, and the subsequent post-2016 OE review, which concluded that no externally degraded conditions occurred that would not have met the acceptable criteria of this AMP. These conclusion statements in the justification for Exception 1 in LRA Section B.2.3.26 are revised to clarify the installed auxiliary saltwater system cathodic protection (CP) survey results are the only aspect that did not meet AMP acceptance criteria (i.e., -850mV relative to a copper/copper sulfate reference electrode, instant off). The conclusion statements remain accurate regarding findings for age-managed components in that no externally degraded conditions occurred that would not have met the acceptable criteria of this AMP. This historical CP performance informs the sample size requirements consistent with LR-ISG-2015-01, Appendix B, Table XI.M41-2.
Enclosure Attachment I PG&E Letter DCL-25-023 Page 2 of 3 Supplement - DCPP LRA, Amendment 4 LRA Section B.2.3.26 on page B.2-125 (as modified by DCL-24-092, Encl. 1, Att. DDD) is revised as follows:
B.2.3.26 Buried and Underground Piping and Tanks Exceptions to NUREG-1801 Exception 1: Element 2, Preventive Actions The DFOSTs, makeup water cast iron valves, and some of the buried steel discharge and supply piping in the ASW system, do not have cathodic protection as recommended by LR-ISG-2015-01 Table XI.M41-1.
Justification for Exception Justification for Exception 1:
The buried DFOSTs are double walled steel with the exterior surface wrapped in a corrosion resistant fiberglass reinforced plastic. Due to the tanks being double walled, the internal pressure boundary wall is not subject to the aging effects from the tanks being buried. The tanks are equipped to monitor the space between the inner and outer walls for leakage. Per LR-ISG-2015-01 Appendix B Section 4.f, double wall tanks may be examined by monitoring the annular space for leakage. DCPP Procedures provide direction to drain, clean, and visually inspect the inside of both storage tanks at least every ten years. As noted in the program enhancements, PG&E has committed to installing cathodic protection on portions of the buried steel auxiliary saltwater piping no later than December 1, 2028. This 5-year window (December 2023 through December 2028) allows for design change package development and adequate planning and scheduling around and within outage windows to ensure effective and safe implementation. For the entire length of buried ASW supply and discharge piping, approximately 5,960 feet will be cathodically protected and a total of approximately 24 feet of piping will not be cathodically protected. DCL-16-032 (Reference ML16141A837) provides the results of soil resistivity testing performed in the vicinity of the ASW supply and discharge piping. The soil closest to the turbine building was characterized as corrosive since the resistivity was less than 1000 ohm-cm; however, the ASW supply and discharge piping is coated with a fiber wrapped petroleum-based epoxy coating providing substantial external corrosion protection for those short portions where CP is technically infeasible. DCL-16-032 (as updated by a 2024 CP evaluation) also provides a review of OE that was conducted for the 10 years prior to 2016, which concluded that, except for CP, no externally degraded conditions occurred that would not have met the acceptable criteria of this AMP. In addition, an OE search was performed which included the time period afterEvaluations of OE since 2016, concluded that, except for CP, did not identify anyno degraded conditions occurred that would not have met the acceptance criteria of this AMP for any components with similar materials, coating systems, and soil environments (including components that are not in scope of LR). Non-cathodically protected buried steel (including cast iron makeup water valves) will be inspected in accordance with LR-ISG-2015-01, Appendix B, Table XI.M41-2, Preventive Action Category F, as follows: (1) extent of inspection for the coated pipe will be 10 percent of the piping length with a maximum of 6 locations (each location being a 10-foot length of pipe), as defined in XI.M41, Section 4.c; (2) inspections

Integrity of the bolted joint will be demonstrated by one of the following methods: (a) inspections are performed consistent with that of submerged closure bolting; (b) a visual inspection for discoloration is conducted when leakage of the air or gas inside the piping systems would discolor the external surfaces; (c) monitoring and trending of pressure decay is performed when the bolted connection is located within an isolated boundary; (d) soap bubble testing is performed; (e) when the temperature of the fluid is higher than ambient conditions, thermography testing is performed; or (f) inspection methods capable of detecting leakage for systems containing air or gas. At a minimum, in each 10-year interval during the PEO, inspections shall be completed on a representative sample of at least 20 percent of the population of bolt heads and threads (defined as bolts with the same material and environmental combination) at each unit, up to a maximum of 19 for each unit, for each material/environment combination.
(e) Ensure that submerged closure bolting is visually inspected for loss of material during PEO maintenance activities. Bolt heads will be inspected when made accessible, and bolt threads will be inspected when joints are disassembled. In each 10- year period during the PEO, a representative sample of bolt heads and threads will be inspected. If opportunistic maintenance activities will not provide access to 20 percent of the population (for a material/environment combination) up to a maximum of 19 bolt heads and threads over a 10-year period, then it will be documented how integrity of the bolted joint will be demonstrated.

(h) For sampling-based inspections, if the cause of the aging effect for each applicable material and environment is not corrected by repair or replacement for all components constructed of the same material and exposed to the same environment, additional inspections will be conducted if the results for one of the inspections does not meet acceptance criteria. The number of increased inspections will be determined in accordance with the DCPP CAP; however, there will be no fewer than five additional inspections for each inspection result that did not meet acceptance criteria, or 20 percent of each applicable material, environment, and aging effect combination will be inspected, whichever is less.
If the results of subsequent inspections do not meet acceptance criteria, an extent of condition and extent of cause analysis will be conducted to determine the further extent of inspections.
Additional samples will be inspected for any recurring degradation to ensure corrective actions appropriately address the associated causes. Additional inspections will include inspections at both units with the same material, environment, and aging effect combination. The additional inspections will be completed within the interval (e.g., refueling outage interval, 10-year inspection interval) in which the original inspection was conducted.
