ENCLOSURE 2 TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL CONCERNING DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION JANUARY 14, 2010 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the staff) and representatives of Arizona Public Service Company (the applicant) held a telephone conference call on January 14, 2010, to discuss and clarify the following draft request for additional information (RAI) concerning the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, license renewal application (LRA).
DRAFT RAI 3.1.2-1
=
Background===
The Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report,Section X.M1 recommends the Metal Fatigue of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Aging Management Program (AMP) for managing the aging of selected reactor coolant system components.
Issue In the LRA, Section 3.1.2.2.1, the applicant states that the pressurizer relief tank is not an ASME Section III Class 1 component, nor is it designated to other fatigue or cycle design rules, and therefore has no fatigue time-limited aging analysis (TLAA). However, the GALL Report,Section IV, Subsection C2, item IV.C2-23 states that a time-limited aging analysis is needed to evaluate metal fatigue of the pressurizer relief tank for the period of extended operation.
Request Provide additional information how metal fatigue of the pressurizer relief tank will be evaluated and managed for the period of extended operation.
DRAFT RAI 3.2.2-1
=
Background===
The GALL Report, Table V.C, item V.C-4, indicates that stainless steel containment isolation piping and component internal surfaces exposed to treated water are subject to loss of material/pitting and crevice corrosion as an aging effect/mechanism. The GALL Report states that the aging effect/mechanism can be managed by the Water Chemistry and One-time Inspection Programs. The GALL Report further states that a further evaluation should be conducted on these components.
Issue Section 3.2.2.2.8 of the LRA indicates that the further evaluation associated with this component is not applicable because the containment isolation components were "evaluated in the systems in which the components were found to have the function of containment integrity." Staff is unclear why the applicant indicates that this further evaluation for steel containment isolation piping is not applicable. Request Provide additional information what is meant by the containment isolation components were evaluated in the system in which the components were found to have the function of containment integrity. In addition, if a further evaluation is conducted for these components in a different system, provide the location of the further evaluation. If further evaluations were not conducted for these components, provide additional justification.
DRAFT RAI 3.3.2-1
=
Background===
The GALL Report, Table VIII, item VIII.A-5 is for copper piping exposed to treated water in the steam turbine system. The GALL Report suggests the use of the Water Chemistry Program augmented with the One-Time Inspection Program to manage loss of material and selective leaching in this system. However, the GALL Report in Table VII, item VII.C2-7 is for copper piping (Zinc > 15 percent) exposed to treated water in the Closed-Cycle Cooling Water System. The GALL Report suggests that loss of material and selective leaching for this component and system be managed by the Selective Leaching of Materials Program. One of the main differences between these two programs as described in the GALL Report is that hardness measurements are incorporated into the Selective Leaching of Materials Program, not in the Water Chemistry Program.
Issue Table 3.3.2-4 of the LRA indicates that a copper alloy (Zinc > 15 percent) piping exposed to demineralized water is consistent with GALL Report item VIII.A-5. However, LRA Table 3.3.2-4 is a closed-cycle cooling water system. As such it seems that the GALL Report item VII.C2-7 may be more appropriate for this material. It is not clear to the staff how the Water Chemistry Program augmented with the One-Time Inspection Program is sufficient to manage the loss of material for the LRA closed-cycle cooling water component since these programs do not require hardness testing.
Request Provide additional explanation on how the Water Chemistry Program (B2.1.2) and the One-Time Inspection (B2.1.16) will address the aging effect for loss of material for the copper alloy piping exposed to demineralized water in a Closed-Cycle Cooling Water System.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that all questions are clear. These draft questions will be sent in a formal RAI.
