Texas 77483 September 23, 2021 NOC-AE-21003841 STI:35216096 10CFR50.55a Attention: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 South Texas Project Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. STN 50-498 and STN 50-499 Request for Relief from ASME Section Xl Code Requirements for Weld Examinations (Relief Request RR-ENG-3-25)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) hereby requests NRC approval of the following request for the third ten-year inspection interval: relief from American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section Xl requirements for weld examination on the basis of impracticality. ASME Section Xl Tables IWB-2500-1 and IWC-2500-1 require inservice inspection of Class 1 and Class 2 component welds by nondestructive examination. 100%
examination coverage of these welds during the third ten-year inspection interval was impractical because of component configuration and geometry, and because of the limitations of the examination equipment and techniques used to perform these examinations.
The attached discussion includes a list of the affected welds for which relief is requested, the amount of coverage obtained, and the basis and justification for their acceptability. STPNOC requests NRC review and approval of this request by September 23, 2022.
There are no commitments in this letter.
If there are any questions regarding this matter, please contact Zachary Dibbern at (361) 972-4336 or me at (361) 972-7806.

--Inservice Inspection Impracticality--
I. ASME Code Component(s) Affected The South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS), Units 1 and 2, Class 1 and 2 welds with limited examinations that are included in this request for relief are for the Third Ten-Year Inservice Inspection Interval. The content of this request includes the insights gained from guidance provided in References 1 and 2, and the following Code Classes, Examination Categories, and Item Numbers apply.
Code Classes: 1 and 2 Examination Categories: B-B, B-D, C-G, and R-A Item Numbers: B2.12, B2.40, B3.110, C1.30, C6.10, R1.11. and R2.20 II. Applicable Code Edition and Addenda The applicable ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code of Record (Code) edition and addenda was ASME Section XI, Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components, 2004 Edition (Reference 3), and was used for the Third 10-Year Inservice Inspection (ISI) Interval at STP as modified by 10 CFR 50.55a. The Appendix VIII requirements and use of the Performance Demonstration Initiative (PDI) requirements at STP were in accordance with the 2001 Edition of Section XI, Reference 4 for the limited examinations contained in this request as conditioned by 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xv) and 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(xxiv).
The STP Third 10-Year ISI Interval ended on September 24, 2020 for Units 1 and 21; all the limited examinations contained in this request are required to be submitted to the NRC on or before 12 months after this date.
1 Unit 2 was originally scheduled to end on October 18, 2020; however the interval was reduced by 24 days to align both units ISI Fourth Interval.

Limited Class 2 Welds Table IWC-2500-1, Examination Category C-G Pressure Retaining Welds in Pumps and Valves, Item No:
C6.10, limitations applied to the Containment Spray Pump 2A, weld CIAPCS-2A-PCW1.
The limitation was due to the accessibility through the concrete opening.
Limited Class 1 and 2 Piping Welds / Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection Programs Class 1 and 2 piping welds selected for examination during the third interval under the Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection (RI-ISI) Programs used for STP were examined in accordance with Relief Request RR-ENG-3-4 (Reference 7) and included the piping welds selected for examination under Examination Category R-A. The use of this relief request for STP was based on EPRI Report TR-112657 Rev. B-A Revised Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection Evaluation Procedure Reference 8.
Additional Examination Volume Requirements per EPRI Report TR-112657 - The Section Titled Examination Method (4.1 Thermal Fatigue) states In contrast to mechanical fatigue, thermal fatigue cracking usually initiates as many small cracks and then one of the cracks becomes predominant. It has been most commonly observed at or near the pipe-to-nozzle weld where the wall thickness is thinner due to a counterbore or previous grinding on the inside surface.
Figure 4-2 Examination Volume for Thermal Fatigue Cracking in Piping Welds NPS 4 or Larger specifies the length of the examination volume shall be enough distance [approximately 1/4 in.] to include each side of the base metal thickness transition or counterbore transition.
IV. Reason for Request 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), states: ISI program update: Notification of impractical ISI Code requirements.
If the licensee has determined that conformance with a Code requirement is impractical for its facility the licensee must notify the NRC and submit, as specified in § 50.4, information to support the determinations.
Determinations of impracticality in accordance with this section must be based on the demonstrated limitations experienced when attempting to comply with the Code requirements during the inservice inspection interval for which the request is being submitted. Requests for relief made in Page 3 of 55
accordance with this section must be submitted to the NRC no later than 12 months after the expiration of the initial or subsequent 120-month inspection interval for which relief is sought.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii) above, the required submittal of this request for relief is due before September 24, 2021 because STP has determined that compliance with the code requirements of achieving essentially 100% coverage of the welds listed in this request is impractical to achieve. This request is based on actual demonstrated limitations experienced when attempting to comply with the code requirements in the performance of the examinations listed in this request.
V. Impracticality of Compliance The construction permits for STP Unit 1 and 2 were issued on December 22, 1975 and falls under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(2)(ii), which were applied to components that are classified as ASME BPV Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 and supports for components that are classified as ASME BPV Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 must be designed and provided with the access necessary to perform the required preservice and inservice examinations set forth in editions and addenda of Section III or Section XI of the ASME BPV Code incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(1) of this section (or the optional ASME BPV Code Cases listed in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.147, as incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section) applied to the construction of the particular component. Therefore, although the design of the plants has provided access for examinations to the extent practical, component design configurations with conditions resulting in examination limitations such as those from support interference, geometric configurations of welds and materials such as fittings or valve bodies made of cast stainless steel may not allow the full required examination volume or surface area coverage with the latest techniques available and thus this request for relief addresses those conditions. A typical example of such a condition is a valve-to-pipe weld where essentially 100% of the code required volume cannot be examined from the valve side of the weld and where a plant modification would be needed to provide this coverage. Details of examination restrictions and reductions in required examination coverage are provided in .
When examined, the welds listed in Attachment 1 of this request did not receive the required code volume or surface area coverage due to their component design configurations or interference by other items. These conditions resulted in scanning or surface area access limitations that prohibited obtaining essentially 100% examination coverage of the required examination volumes or surface areas, but when this situation occurred 100% of the accessible volumes or surface areas of each weld was covered.
Burden Caused by Compliance To comply with the code required examination volumes or surface areas for obtaining essentially 100% coverage for the welds listed in this request for relief, the welds and their Page 4 of 55
associated components would have to be physically modified and/or disassembled beyond their current design. Overall, components and fittings associated with the welds listed in this request are constructed of standard design items and materials meeting typical national standards that specify required configurations and dimensions. To replace these items with items of alternate configurations or materials to enhance examination coverage would require unique redesign and fabrication. Because these items are in the Class 1 and 2 boundaries and for the Class 1 items that form a part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, their redesign and fabrication would be an extensive effort based on the limitations that exist.
For the Class 1, Examination Category B-B, Item No. B2.12, Unit 2 Shell F Longitudinal Seam Weld PRZ-2-L6, limitation was caused due to the permanent insulation support ring.
For the Class 1, Examination Category B-B, Item No. B2.40, Unit 1 Channel Head to Tubeplate Weld and Unit 2 Channel Head to Tubeplate Weld RSG-2A-T1, limitations were caused due to ring support.
For the Class 1, Examination Category B-D, Item No. B3.110, Unit 2 Safety Nozzle to Shell Weld PRZ-2-N3, limitation was caused by the configuration of the nozzle. The examination was performed from the vessel OD and the examination could not be performed from the vessel side. To obtain the required coverage for this weld would require a design modification.
For the Class 2 Examination Category C-G, Item No.: C6.10 Containment Spray Pump 2A, Weld CIAPCS-2A-PCW1, limitation was due to the accessibility through the concrete opening For the Class 1 piping welds examined per the RI-ISI Programs, the limitations listed in this request are typically limited by their design configurations or materials. The configurations of these welds or their materials only allow UT examination coverage from one side of the weld or limited coverage from a specific area or areas of one side of the weld and thus they would also require a design modification or replacement to obtain the required examination coverage.
Overall, it is not possible to obtain UT interrogation of greater than 90% of the required code examination volume or surface areas for the welds in this request without extensive weld or component design modifications. Examinations have been performed to the maximum extent possible and radiography is impractical due to the amount of work being performed in the areas on a 24-hour basis when the welds are available for examination. Using radiography would result in numerous work-related stoppages and increased exposure due to the shutdown and startup of other work in the areas. The water may need to be drained from systems or components where radiography is performed, which increases the radiation dose rates over a much broader area than the weld being examined. There is significant impracticality associated with the performance of weld or area modifications or the use of radiography in order to increase the examination coverage.

VI. Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use Proposed Alternative
- 1) Periodic system pressure tests and VT-2 visual examinations will continue to be performed in accordance with ASME Section Xl, Examination Category B-P, for Class 1 pressure retaining welds and items each refueling outage and Examination Category C-H for Class 2 pressure retaining welds and items each inspection period of Table IWB-2500-1 and Table IWC-2500-1, respectively.
- 2) Conduct required PT, MT or UT examinations to the maximum extent possible as required by ASME Section XI or the RI-ISI Programs.
Basis for Use 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) recognizes that throughout the service life of a nuclear power facility, components which are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 must meet the requirements set forth in the ASME Code to the extent practical within the limitations of design, geometry and materials of construction of the welds and items described in Attachment 1.
When a component is found to have conditions which limit the required examination volume or surface area, STP is required to submit this information to the enforcement and regulatory authorities having jurisdiction at the plant site. This request for relief has been written to address areas where these types of conditions exist and where the required amount of coverage was reduced below the minimum acceptable. STP has performed the weld examinations listed in this request to the maximum extent possible for each of the welds identified with limitations in Attachment 1.
The Class 1 Examination Categories B-B, Pressure Retaining Welds in Vessels Other Than Reactor Vessels and B-D, Full Penetration Welded Nozzles In Vessels and the Class 1 Risk-Informed Piping Welds within the scope of this request are all located inside the containment.
Even though their examination did not meet the essentially 100% code required volume coverage requirement, there is instrumentation in place to assure that early detection of any Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure boundary leakage is identified. This is accomplished by the leakage detection instrumentation inside the containment where the RCS leakage detection instrumentation is controlled by the units Technical Specifications. These instruments are used to quantify any unidentified leakage from the RCS and to meet the STP Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirements that have a Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) in 3/4.4.6.
EPRI Report TR-112657 Rev. B-A Revised Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection Evaluation Procedure, Section 6.4 addresses relief requests pertaining to limited examination coverage.
The following requirements are to be met:
Page 6 of 55
- 1. An existing relief request is no longer required if the piping element is not a RI-ISI selection. Such relief requests shall be formally withdrawn by the licensee.
The welds included in this relief request do not have an existing relief request.
- 2. An existing relief request is unaffected if the piping element is a RI-ISI selection and the examination volume remains unchanged.
The welds included in the relief request do not have an existing relief request.
- 3. An existing relief request may require modification if the piping element is a RI-ISI selection and the examination volume has been expanded (e.g. thermal fatigue).
The welds included in the relief request do not have an existing relief request.
- 4. A new relief request will be generated for any RI-ISI piping element selection for which greater than 90 percent examination coverage is not achieved.
EPRI Report TR-112657 Rev. B-A states: It should be noted that is an existing ASME Section XI inspection location is partially examined and continues to be partially examined in the RI-ISI process, the amount of risk addressed by examination remains the same for that location. If a new RI-ISI inspection location is only partially examined, but was not previously required to be examined by Section XI, then the amount of risk addressed by examination of that location is still increased. It is not necessarily true that because you reduce examination totals, that a complete examination must be performed at the RI-ISI selected locations to maintain risk neutrality or improvement in the program.
The impact of partial examinations on the overall risk contribution may be assessed and included in the basis for relief.
Evaluation of RI-ISI Limited Examinations STP has reviewed each instance of limited examination coverage and taken the appropriate steps consistent with its impact on the basis of the EPRI Report TR-112657 Rev. B-A on risk.
Acceptance of limited examinations or volumes shall not invalidate the results of the change-in-risk evaluation. Areas with acceptable limited examination and their bases, shall be documented. The change in risk acceptance criteria is 1E-7/1E-8 CDF/LERF at the system level and 1E-6/1E-7 total CDF/LERF for all systems. The With POD Credit column is the official result that must meet these criteria. The values represent delta risk, the calculated difference in CDF/LERF that STP incurs due to using a risk-informed ISI versus a conventional Section XI inspection scope. Therefore, the requirement is that the delta-risk is less than the acceptance criteria, meaning a positive number is ok if it is less than 1E-7 (for example) and any negative number is ok.
Below is a summary of the cumulative effect of the limited examinations.

UNIT 1 This Request identifies three Unit 1 piping welds with limited examination coverage (90%
or less). Welds (4-CV-1120-BB1, Weld 2, 8-RH-1106-KB2, Weld 13, and 8-RH-1107-BB2, Weld 1) are addressed below, by system.
o Chemical and Volume Control (CVC) (Weld 4-CV-1120-BB1, Weld 2)
To conservatively quantify the effect on delta risk for Weld 2, the delta risk is adjusted by not crediting this CVC weld with limited examination coverage. The below table provides the delta risk with Weld 2 credited and with Weld 2 not credited. The columns under heading Examined are the delta risk with the weld included, the columns under heading Not Examined is the adjusted delta risk after removing the weld.

Attachment 1 South Texas Project Electric Generating Station Units 1 and 2 American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section XI 10 CFR 50.55a Request for Relief Number RR-ENG-3-25 In Accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii)
--Inservice Inspection Impracticality--
Introduction This attachment contains figures and tables as applicable that are used to depict the limitations and calculations used for obtained coverage, materials and product forms, with ultrasonic examination angles and wave modes used, any limited surface examinations and the examination results for the welds associated with this request for relief, including any applicable previous examination history used. The following Table 1 for STP identifies the welds within the scope of this request and summarizes the extent of examination coverage achieved for each weld.
Many of the welds listed were examined with different STP approved procedures and techniques during the span of the Third 10-Year ISI Interval and therefore not all the coverage calculations used are identical, but they are based on the actual NDE data reports that were provided for the examinations completed.
