Hi Rob, Pat, and Jeff,
Please find attached my updates to the agenda based on our discussion yesterday. It may be somewhat premature, but I went ahead and tried to put times to the agenda, just to see how it might schedule out. Session 5 is probably the main area of uncertainty along with international presenters in general.
Please take a look and provide any comments or feedback by next Wednesday, so we can hopefully finalize this and share with DOE/EPRI very soon.
I also attached the latest version of the workshop announcement, which we plan to use to publicize to other attendees and presenters.
Thanks!

Harvesting Workshop Agenda Brainstorming When: Thursday, November 03, 2016 1:00 PM-2:00 PM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US &
Canada).
Where: HQ-TWFN-08C01-10p Hi Rob, Jeff, Pat, I've put together an outline of an agenda for this workshop on harvesting that we are planning for March. My first cut at it is attached. I'd like to use this meeting to brainstorm how to structure the workshop and, if possible, who to ask to present and on what topics.
Rob and I were discussing trying to selectively target participants and presentations to cover the topics we'd like, rather than simply asking DOE and EPRI and others for their take on "harvesting." I think if we plan this well, we can get an interesting and substantive discussion. If not, we may just get a rehash of SLR-type talks...
Thanks!

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Location: NRG HQ in Rockville, MD Dates: March 7-8, 2017 Motivation:
There are increasing opportunities to harvest the safety-critical components from decommissioning plants, both domestic and international.
The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.
Data from ex-plant materials should help address technical gaps identified for extended operation of nuclear power plants due to highly relevant aging conditions.
Purpose and Objective:
For NRG staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.
Facilitate contacts arid communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to initiated.
Workshop Topics:
Harvesting decision-making and prioritization 0

Hi Pat, Hiser, Matthew Mon, 7 Nov 2016 19:07:59 +0000 Purtsclher, Patrick RE: Harvesting Workshop Agenda Brainstorming Yeah, she's the interface for RES with OIP.
I'm not sure I agree that she needs to be involved in developing the list of invitees. My understanding is we were planning to use contacts RES and NRR staff have with international groups they already work with. Donna-Marie wouldn't know anything about who the right people would be for something like this....
Thanks!

RE: Harvesting Workshop Agenda Brainstorming
- Matt, At the branch chief meeting with Brian today, I mentioned the fact that we might make the harvesting workshop a closed meeting. Brian didn't have any specific issues, but thought that the list of international invitees should be put together and run past Donna-Marie Sangimino. Do you know her?

RE: Harvesting Workshop Agenda Brainstorming A couple of thoughts:
I interpret Session 1 to focus on lessons learned to facilitate future harvesting efforts. I would suggest adding a presentation to summarize past harvesting activities with an emphasis on the technical results and benefits from the efforts. This would serve as a historical record and may "remind" the technical community of past technical findings.
Let me know which countries you need to identify a presenter for, and I will pursue this at the IGALL meeting in a couple of weeks.
I will take whatever form the workshop announcement has to distribute at the IGALL meeting.

Harvesting Workshop as Non-Public Meeting Hi Steve, We have discussed the option of doing the harvesting workshop as a public vs. non-public meeting. For simplicity in running the meeting and frankness of participants input, we think it would be advantageous to have a non-public meeting.
The relevant management directive on NRC meetings is MD 3.5 and the relevant section E of that directive is here: http://www.internal.nrc.gov/policy/directives/catalog/md3.S.pdf#H-I.E. In this section of the directive, it states:
"In general, meetings between NRC staff and outside persons will be public meetings unless the staff determines that the subject matter to be discussed-(g) Is a general information exchange having no direct, substantive connection to a specific NRC regulatory decision or action."
It seems clear to me that this situation under sub-item (g) accurately describes the harvesting workshop we are planning.
This information should probably be shared with division management for their awareness and agreement as we move forward with planning this workshop.
Thanks!

4 Motivation With plants shutting down both in the U.S. and internationally, t here are increasing opportunities to harvest components from decommissioning plants Past harvesting efforts generally more reactive as opportunities arose, rather than proactively planned Ex-plant materials may be valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service pllant operating conditions Can reduce the uncertainty associated with the applicability of the aging conditions Insights from research on harvested materials can address technical data needs identified for extended plant operation Lessons learned from past harvesting programs can help improve future harvesting efforts Challenges encountered in previous programs can be shared and mitigated or avoided in future programs
~
U.S.NRC Uniu:d SutcJ Nuclear Rcgull10,y Com minion ProtttJing iw>pl~ and tin £m,1ironmn11
5 Approach
- Domestic and international researchers1 industry, regulators, and decom1missioning companies 1 discuss benefits and challenges with ex-plant harvesting Encourage sharing of lessons learned as well as areas of common interest
- Workshop consists of topical sessions with short presentations and significant time for open discussion Goal is to maximize engagement among meeting participants
- Scope includes any materials aging issue that could benefit from harvesting, including metals, cables, and concrete
~
U.S.NRC Uniu:d SutcJ Nuclear Rcgull10,y Com minion ProtttJing iw>pl~ and tin £m,1ironmn11
6 Expected Outcome
- Participants become better informed and aware of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting
- Discussions help identify areas of common interest for harvesting to address technical data needs
- Presentations and discussions provide the starting point for a "database" of harvested materials and future harvesting o p po rt unities
- Contacts are made among research organizations to allow for further discussion of specific harvesting projects
- Workshop summary documenting discussion will be distributed among participants

RE: Harvesting Workshop Information One suggestion on slide 4 to put the problem first:
Put as the first motivation the fact that plants (and regulators) are considering long term operation to exposure conditions for which confirmation of expected degradation levels are needed to ensure that plants will implement adequate aging management.
This puts the emphasis on plant operation and not on decommissioning plants, as if harvesting is a solution looking for a problem.

RE: Harvesting Workshop Sessions 3 & 4 Thanks everyone for participating today. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions and we'll adjust the agenda accordingly.
One follow-up: could DOE and EPRI identify who they expect their presenter to be for each of the 5 sessions?
Notes from today's call:
Matt H. described general plans for workshop:
o Non-public, keep participation to around 30 individuals for more focused interactive discussion o
Goal is to have well-balanced discussion of harvesting, not sales pitches for specific projects or programs Sherry B. suggested fewer presentations with more panel discussion time o
Plan is for roughly 50-60% presentations and remaining time for discussion o
Sessions 1 and 5 should be primarily panel discussion
Session 2:
o Question raised about covering metals, cables, and concrete Agreed that all presenters can cover all three types materials, hopefully just a few slides Suggest presenters focus on high-priority data needs from their organization's perspective Perhaps some background on what informs their priorities Session 3:
o Suggestions to include EnergySolutions, PWROG, Korea, Japan, and French presentation slots Emphasize to presenters to avoid "sales pitch," but please provide information on sources of materials Short ~10 min presentations on sources of materials with remaining time for discussion o
Hopefully use presented information as starting point for previously harvested materials database Session 4:
o Longer (20-30 min) presentations focused on forward-looking lessons learned o
Suggestion to reach out to Exelon (Zion experience plus many operating facilities) if Dominion can't support o
Also consider Japan and France for international presentations Actions:
Brian Bergos provide Matt with PWROG contact Matt look into if affidavit would be needed for any proprietary information from EPRl/industry Matt update agenda for sessions 3 and 4 and finalize speakers Thanks!

There have been previous discussions between NRC, DOE, and EPRI on the workshop agenda overall to discuss what the workshop is trying to accomplish and the best way to do so. Those conversations did not dig down into each session and make a final decision on exactly who will be the presenters and topics in each session. Internally here at NRC, we've worked to lay that out in the attached documents.
The purpose of this call is to discuss all the specifics of sessions 3 and 4 to identify the right presenters for each slot. This discussion could also lead to adding, eliminating or changing some of the planned presentations if you all have other ideas or suggestions. Our main goal is to have a well-balanced, comprehensive discussion of harvesting that will benefit all participants. We think working with you all up front to help plan and make decisions will give us a better workshop in the end. So please come with ideas and suggestions for sessions 3 and 4 on sources of materials and lessons learned/practical aspects of harvesting.

RE: Harvesting Workshop talking points.docx Hi Pat, I certainly think the idea of helping "future harvesting programs to be successful" is an objective, but I don't think it's really related to "facilitating contacts and communication". The idea of facilitating contacts and communication is directly tied to initiating new harvesting projects.
For reference, this bullet came from the workshop announcement. In the interest of simplicity, I'd leave it as-is...

Frankl, Istvan Tue, 23 Aug 2016 10:52:32 -0400 Hiser, Matthew RE: Harvesting Workshop This is a good start. I left my comments on your chair.
I mentioned this initiative to Kathryn at the weekly DE management meeting yesterday and promised a briefing on it as soon as we are ready. Incidentally, when do you think we will be in good position to officially "roll this out"?
As discussed during our prior meeting, timing is the essence of success for this initiative, so please move it along.

Harvesting Workshop Hi everyone, Following from the meeting yesterday, I wanted to share the attached "initial plan" for the workshop, describing the puirpose and objective, approach, and intended outcome, as well as potential dates and discussion topics. Please edit and/or comment freely.
I think this document could be useful for "socializing" this topic to a greater degree in NRR, in advance of a meeting of the internal steering committee on harvesting sometime next month. At that meeting we could hopefully do some significant brainstorming on what this workshop should look like and who to contact for participation.
Thanks!

U.S.NRC United States Nucle2r Regulatory Commission Protectirlf{ People and the Enviromnent
Purpose
~
U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclear Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- Create a framework for a strategic approach to harvesting ex-plant materials to support regullatory needs associated with subsequent license renewal (SLR)
Ex-plant materials offer unique environmental exposure that cannot be entirely replicated by laboratory testing with fresh materials
- Align high priority data needs identified in SLR activities with harvesting opportunities from decommissioning plants
=
Background===
~
U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclear Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- To date, harvesting opportunities have been limited due to few decom1missioning plants Zion in U.S., Zorita in Spain
- However, several U.S. plants have already shut down or are planning to do so in the near future Kewaunee, San Onofre, Crystal River, Vermont Yankee, Oyster Creek, Fort Calhoun, Clinton, Quad Cities, Diablo Canyon
- This provides a unique opportunity to plan harvesting to address the highest priority technical and regulatory is
Harvesting Experience
~
U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclear Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- Past harvesting efforts have generally involved reactive decision-making Limited opportunities to acquire ex-plant materials Limited strategic planning for harvesting
- Harvesting projects with NRC involvement:
Reactors internal materials from Zorita Concrete from Zorita Neutron absorber material from Zion Cables from Zion and Crystal River
Zorita Internals Research Project Timeline Task 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Project Inception

Approach: Assessment of Technical Issues and Available Materials for Harvesting
~
U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclear Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- Utilize various sources of technical information with respect to anticipated degradation in N PPs out to 80 years of operation NRC, DOE, EPRI, IAEA
- Identify high-priority data needs that coulld be addressed through harvesting ex-plant materials Focus on identifying characteristics of important systems, structures, and components (SSCs) for harvesting
- Gather information on ex-plant material expected to be availablle based on identified needs May be from both operating and decommissi
Implementation
~
U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclear Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- What might the output of this activity look like?
For example, the review may show there is value in acquiring CASS material around 15% delta ferrite with various dose ranges
(<0.08 dpa, 1-3 dpa, and >5 dpa)
- Once that need is identified, this activity would identify what SSCs might be the best candidates for harvesting For example, perhaps lower support columns would be identified as the ideal SSC to address the CASS data need
- As decommissioning plants announce their plans, there is a clear list of SSCs and their characteristics (metallurgy, temperature, fluence, etc.) that would be desired t address the data need
Current NRC Activities
~
U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclear Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- NRC is working with Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) to identify technical issues that may be best addressed by ex-plant harvesting Focused on unique value of harvesting to understand material properties in difficult to replicate environments
- NRC also seeking interest from other stakeholders to better understand availability of materials for harvesting Considering a public workshop in fall 2016 Stakeholders include EPRI, DOE, U.S. industry, international partners
Discussion Topics
~
U.S.NRC United Scares Nuclear Regularory Commission Protecting People and the Environment
- Japanese approach to ex-plant material harvesting
- Information on available harvesting op,portunities from Japanese reactors Is it known which plants will not restart?
- Opportunities for coordination/ cooperation on ex-plant harvesting

- Allen, As promised, I have checked-in with Steve Frankl and Amy Hull, and we agree that since we (a number of folks have contributed) have made significant progress in preparing the research presentation, we would be happy to accept your offer.

Notwithstanding that George has been invited as Keynote speaker, and the RES travel was previously (initially) approved, Mike has expressed concerns that we are even planning on sending additional staff to the
conference given all our higher priority program activities. He also thinks, and I agree, that we address research to support SLR through a number of different venues in our interactions with the international community. Our plans were well intended, however, given our priorities coupled with our drive to be more efficient and effective in the conduct of research we will not participate in this year's PLiM Conference.

RE: I recommend we go forward with NRR presenting our work..... : PLiM Conference Allen:
This is the only RES paper for PLiM. Once you have the paper and slides, I would expect that only a brief meeting will be necessary on this to make sure that we are in alignment on key messages and we can answer any questions that you have. The other thing that we'd like you at PLiM is represent us at a side-bar meeting on IFRAM. We will therefore need to get you up-to-speed on the efforts of IFRAM, the players at the side bar, and the objectives that we are trying to accomplish during that meeting. This effort may require more time to get you up to speed. I estimate that we will need between 1 - 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to cover both topics, depending on the questions that you have and the level of discussion depth.
Your schedule is challenging. Can you identify a few windows between now and 10/12 when we can meet to discuss both PLiM and the IFRAM side-bar meeting?

- Matt, If you look on the PLiM website: http://www-pub.iaea.org/iaeameetings/50811/Fourth-lnternational-Conference-on-Nuclear-Power-Plant-Life-Management there is a "biodata form" linl<. There was an email that said presenters needed to complete that form, or they could not be included in the program. I took that to apply to speakers, not to submitted posters. If that was wrong, I apologize! The due date for that form was the end of Sept., and it was at that decision point that Brian decided not to participate. Anyway, perhaps they were looking for that same info from you, as an author, despite there being no presentation to go with it?? I do not have all of my PLiM info with me this week. Again, I hope that Rob's email inquiries are more successful on your behalf.

RE: I recommend we go forward with NRR presenting our work..... : PLiM Conference Allen:
This is the only RES paper for PLiM. Once you have the paper and slides, I would expect that only a brief meeting will be necessary on this to make sure that we are in alignment on key messages and we can answer any questions that you have. The other thing that we'd like you at PLiM is represent us at a side-bar meeting on IFRAM. We will therefore need to get you up-to-speed on the efforts of IFRAM, the players at the side bar, and the objectives that we are trying to accomplish during that meeting. This effort may require more time to get you up to speed. I estimate that we will need between 1 - 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to cover both topics, depending on the questions that you have and the level of discussion depth.
Your schedule is challenging. Can you identify a few windows between now and 10/12 when we can meet to discuss both PLiM and the IFRAM side-bar meeting?

LWRS Program Perspective Session 2: Technical Data Needs for Harvesting WRS Light Water Reactor Sustainability Light Water Reactor Sustainability R&D Program LWRS - MAaD Pathway Research Staff Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Nuclear Regulatory Commission Rockville, MD March 7th, 2017
Harvesting of reactor materials provides validation of experimental and theoretical research of the LWRS - MAaD Pathway The vision of the DOE Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) Program is to enable existing power plants to safely provide clean and affordable electricity beyond current license periods.
The goals of Materials Aging and Degradation (MAaD) Pathway in the LWRS program is to develop the fundamental scientific basis to understand, predict and measure changes in materials as they age in reactor environments. The MAaD Pathway seeks to apply that knowledge in developing new methods for monitoring, materials and technologies that enhance plant performance and safety.

Evaluation of radiation-induced swelling under LWR relevant conditions.......
- Early data was based on sodium cooled FBR data, and was typically bounded by the 350 - 650°C range of the test reactor capabilities.
- Caution must be used in analyzing swelling data due to differences in flux and neutron energy spectrum between test data and LWR conditions.
- Swelling levels of at least a few percent are likely to occur in high dose stainless steel LWR core components.
- Previous modelling predictions/ calculations did not effectively analyze the void nucleation regime.
- Researchers (Golubov, Barashev and Stoller) sponsored by the LWRS program have developed a Radiation-Induced Microstructure Evolution (RIME) code for damage accumulation in LWR materials, that take into account for the first time:
Cascade defect production, including production of 1-D migrating defect clusters A physical based model for void nucleation accounting for residual gas and He generation during irradiation.

RIME Code Model for Swelling The RIME code is based on a numerical solution of kinetic equations for gas filled voids, interstitial and vacancy loops taking into account:
Generation of 3-D migrating point defects and 1-D migrating interstitial clusters Annealing defects during cooling down phase of cascades Cascade generation of interstitial and vacancy loops He generation by fast neutrons and due to 59Ni transmutation Existence of residual gas taking part in void nucleation in addition to that of He atoms Annealing of dislocations due to their climb Transformation of the interstitial dislocation loops into the dislocation network Change in spatial distribution of voids with dose increase from random to spatially correlated with dislocations For the first time it is shown that residual gas may effect void nucleation much stronger than that of He generation during irradiation

Void density is strongly dependent on defect generation rates (among other variables) 8
Phase stability and radiation induced segregation under LWR conditions
- Radiation-induced precipitation (RIP) and segregation (RIS) effects are well known, but differences can emerge between fast reactor data and actual LWR conditions.
- Difference between fast reactor and LWR exposure can influence other effects. For example - the emergence of yf is coincident with void formation the due to the depletion of Si from the matrix.
- Models predict a much higher fraction of carbides present under LWR conditions. At high flux, radiation enhanced dissolution of the carbides may occur.

Challenges of evaluating concrete structures
- Largest structural material used in reactor
- A locally sourced material
- Concrete mixture: Silicate-bearing aggregates seem more prone to RIVE than calcareous aggregate.
- Inner concrete barrier structure in PWR's may see up to 7x1019 n/cm2 (E>0.1 MeV) - some loss in mechanical properties expected.
- Evaluation of safety performance and margins in accident scenarios.

Importance of harvested concrete
- Harvesting provides a unique opportunity for evaluating the research needs of concrete:
Increase knowledge of irradiated concrete as previous literature data that is not comprehensive, with irradiation conditions not well established, or significantly different than that expected in LWR's.
Multiple dependent variables acting on concrete that may be difficult to experimentally test: neutron irradiation, gamma irradiation, temperature, water content, aggregate chemistry, stress/ creep and cumulative effects of age.
- Materials harvested from plants can provide a unique opportunity to examine the influence of all the impacting variables on specific aggregate type. Sampling from various parts of the plant to isolate out different variable effects.
- Information gained will be important for the development of computer models to determine the changes concrete has undergone and its performance, expected aged lifetime and capability under accident scenarios.
- From knowing the performance of concrete structures over their lifetime can new plants be designed more economically?

Understanding the role of environment on cable degradation toward the development of improved cable aging models Cable formulations used by manufacturers during initial installation at plants may not be the same as those currently produced.
Method / Approach
- Coordinated, accelerated aging of harvested insulation/ jacket materials representative of current NPP systems
- Electrical, chemical, and mechanical characterization to address knowledge gaps in cable aging factors (EMDA vol 5)
- Improved predictive models of remaining useful life.
- Collaborations with NRG and EPRI.
Current Tests
- Aging vs. environment (temp/dose rate/total dose) for EPR & XLPE
- Aging vs. composition for high priority materials Harvested cables from Zion-unit 1 and 2, and Crystal River-unit 3 Most common cables: Rockbestos, Brand-Rex, Okonite, Kerite, BIW
- Evaluation of NOE techniques and modeling

In *the U.S., 'ther,e is strong interest i11 extending NPP :lifespans through. subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years [I].

Meanwhiie,!in recent years, a number of NPPs, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut clown or announced plans to slhut down for various reasons, including economic, political, and technical challenges. U.nl.ike in the past when there were very few decommissioning olants shuHiHg Ele,,,m, these ~&.<el~R'l8>>4S-plant shutdowns provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative light water reactor (LWR) environments.

- 2. NRC Experience with Harvesting NRC has significan t ex.pcricnce w ith harvesting plant components and performing research on harvested materials to address technical issues. This experience includes a range of cC>mponenls from plants in various stages of operation both in the U.S. and internationally.
Some of the harves1ing projects that the N RC has participated in ineludein have studied the following materials or components:
RPV materials from the decommissioned Gundrcmmingcn plant in Germen)' to study fluenee rate effects on RPV embrittlement [3],
Cast austenitic stainless steel (CASS) materials from the decommissioned Shippingport reactor in tl~e U.S. to study CASS th.ermal e mbrittlement [4],
RPV materials from the unfinished or never-operated Shoreham and Midland plants to improve understanding of flaw distributions for RPV embrittlement concerns [5-6),
RPV head control rod drive mechanism penetrntions from the operating North Anna and Davis-Besse plants +FHile-tl-,&-to study primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) of nick.cl alloys and the effectiveness of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods [8-12],
Reactor coolant system (RCS) piping nozzle weld materials from tlhe operating V.C.
Summer plant in the U.S. to study PWSCC of nickel alloys [ 11-12],
Reactor internals materials from the decommissioned Jose Cab.-era (known as Zorita) plant in SJJe in to study lhigh-flucnec irradiation effects on stainless steel alloys [ l3],
Aluminum-based neutron-absorbing materials from the decommissioned Zion plant m lh~to study degradation in the spent fuel pool environment [ 14],
Electrical cables from the decommissioned Z ion and Crystal River plants i11 the PJ.S. to investigate cable degradation [ 15),
Electrical bus ducts from the decommissioned Zion plant in the U.S. to study high-energy arc faults in electrical enclosures [ 16].

As deserieed illustrated by these programs~, NRC's,experience is that harvesting has.
contributed significantly to improved understanding of important technical issues for nuclear safety. For RPV materials, harvesting has increased knowledge ofennbrilllement nnechanisms and the underlying flaw distributions in the RPV 10 allow reduction in unnecessary conservatism as a13propri.a1e. For nickel a lloys, harvesting has improved understanding oftlie PWSCC and the development of acceptable inspcctnon i111crvalsmeel'lan-iSAfl, whi.lc also increasi11g con fidence in the ability of N DE methods to detect and characterize naws. Finally, recent work on electrical enclosures has helped to identify a potential new safety issue associated w ith high-energy arc faults in electrical components containing aluminum [ 17].

In 111a11y situations, accelernted aging through higher flux test reactor irradiations or elevated temperatures can be used to generate significant dlata to understand aging effects in a more cost-effective manner.

Given the expected availabi lity of materials from numerous plants and antiei13ateel identified research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is pursuiRg developing a more proactive approach to prioritize the data needs best addressed. by harvesting and id.cnti fy the best sources of materials to address high-priority data needs for regulatory research.
- 5. Prioritization of Data Needs Best Addressed by Harvesting The ftrst step in this strategic approach is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular degradation scenario (i£...._co111bination of material and environment) and should be defined with as much detail as appropriate in terms of the material ~

temperature, fluence, chemistry,e.e,).
A number of criteria ~are being considered whoo-.fu.Lprioritizing the harvesting data needs KIF llar¥esting, including:

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants Matthew Hiser, Patrick Purtscher, Pradeep Ramuhalli, Amy Hull, Robert Tregoning, and Carol Moyer In the U.S. and global nuclear industry, two recent developments include strong interest in extended plant operation and a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) shutting down. In the U.S., there is strong interest in extending NPP lifespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years.
Extended plant operation and SLR raise a number of technical issues that may require further research to understand aging mechanisms. U.S. utilities and the NRC have focused on aging in four key areas: the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), IRPV internals and piping, concrete, and electrical components.
Meanwhile, in recent years, a number of nuclear plants, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to shut down. Unlike in the past when there were very few plants slhutting down, these new developments provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative light water reactor (LWR) environments. In a related development, economic challenges for the nuclear industry and limited budgets have restricted the resources available to support new research, including harvesting programs. Given this constrained budget environment, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.
NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), to develop a strategic approach to harvesting of aged materials from NPPs. Due to limited opportunities, past harvesting efforts have been reactive to individual plants shutting down and beginning decommissioning. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants, NRC is pursuing a more proactive approach to prioritize the data needs best addressed by harvesting and identify the best source of materials to address t hose high-priority data needs.
The first step in this strategic approach to harvesting is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular material-environment combination and should be defined as detailed as appropriate in terms of the material (alloy, composition, etc.) and environment (temperature, fluence, chemistry, etc.). A number of criteria may be considered when prioritizing data needs for harvesting, including:
Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps o
Prioritize harvesting for critical gaps over less essential data needs.
Ease of laboratory replication of the environment-material combination o
For example, siimultaneous thermal and irradiation conditions may be difficult to replicate or a mechanism sensitive to dose rate may not be good for accelerated aging.
Unique field aspects of degradation o
For example, uinusual operating experience or legacy materials (fabrication methods, composition, etc.) that may no longer be available.
Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data
o There is generally greater value in addressing an issue applicable to a larger number of plants.
Availability of reliable in-service inspection (ISi) techniques for the material/ component o
If inspection methods are mature and easy to apply to monitor and track degradation, perhaps the effort of research with harvested materials is not needed.
Availability of material for harvesting o
The necessary materials/ components must be available to be harvested.
Harvesting cost and complexity o
For example, harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables should be less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the reactor internals or RPV.
Timeliness of the expected research results relative to the objective.
These potential criteria provide a systematic approach to prioritize data needs for harvesting. Different organizations may weigh and consider each of these criteria differently based on their interests and perspective, but each criteria is likely relevant to some degree for any organization. NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to prioritize data needs for !harvesting and identify areas of common interest.
Another activity NRC is pursuing is the potential development of a database for sources of materials for harvesting, which could include both previously harvested materials and those available for future harvesting. This database would allow for aligning of high-priority data needs to the available sources of materials. As with the data needs effort, the level of detail for the sources of materials database should be appropriate for the important factors for decision-making. INRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to develop a database for sources of materials for harvesting.
NRC's experience is that harvesting can yield highly representative and valuable data on materials aging, but these efforts may be expensive and challenging. Having a clearly defined objective and early engagement with the plant from which harvesting will take place are keys to success. As specific harvesting opportunities are identified through this strategic approach to harvesting, NRC welcomes opportunities for cooperation and leveraging with other interested research organizations.

Harvesting of Aged Materials from Operating and Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants M. Hisera, P. Purtschera, P. Ramuhallib, A. B. Hulla, R. Tregoninga, and C. E. Moyera au.s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Washington, D.C., USA bPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Richland, WA, USA Recent developments in the nuclear industry include stronger interest in extended plant operation and plans to shut down a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) In the U.S., there is strong interest in extending NPP lifespans through subsequent license renewal (SLR) from 60 to 80 years.
Extended plant operation and SLR raise a number of technical issues that may require further research to understand aging mechanisms. U.S. utilities and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have focused on the aging of systems, structures, and components and in particular four key SLR issues: reactor pressure vessel (RPV) embrittlement, irradiation~assisted stress corrosion cracking ofreactor internals, concrete structures and containment degradation, and electrical cable qualification and condition assessment. Meanwhile, in recent years, a number of NPPs, both in the U.S. and internationally, have shut down or announced plans to shut down for various reasons, including economic, political, and technical challenges. Unlike in the past when there were very few plants shutting down, these new developments provide opportunities for harvesting components that were aged in representative light water reactor (L WR) environments.
In a third related development, economic challenges and limited budgets have restricted the resources available to support new research, including harvesting programs. Given this constrained budget environment, aligning interests and leveraging with other organizations is important to allow maximum benefit and value for future research programs.
NRC has recently undertaken an effort, with the assistance of Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), to develop a strategic approach for harvesting aged materials from NPPs. Due to limited opportunities, past harvesting efforts have been reactive to individual plants shutting down and beginning decommissioning. Given the expected availability of materials from numerous plants and anticipated research needs to better understand aging out to 80 years of operation, the NRC is pursuing a more proactive approach to prioritize the data needs best addressed by harvesting and identify the best sources of materials to address high-priority data needs for regulatory research.
The first step in this strategic approach is to prioritize data needs for harvesting. A data need describes a particular degradation scenario ( combination of material and environment) and should be defined with as much detail as appropriate in terms of the material (alloy, composition, etc.)
and environment (temperature, fluence, chemistry, etc.).
A number of criteria may be considered when prioritizing the data needs for harvesting, including:
Applicability of harvested material for addressing critical gaps o
Harvesting for critical gaps prioritized over less essential technical gaps.
Ease of laboratory replication of the degradation scenario o
For example, simultaneous the1mal and irradiation conditions are difficult to replicate or accelerated aging may not be feasible for a mechanism sensitive to dose rate.
Unique field aspects of degradation o
For example, unusual operating experience or legacy materials (fabrication methods, composition, etc.) no longer available.
Fleet-wide vs. plant-specific applicability of data o
Greater value in addressing an issue applicable to a larger number of plants.
Harvesting cost and complexity o
For example; harvesting unirradiated concrete or electrical cables less expensive and less complex than harvesting from the reactor internals or RPV.
Availability of reliable in-service inspection (ISi) techniques for the material / component o If mature inspection methods exist and are easy to apply to monitor degradation, harvesting may be less valuable.
Availability of materials for harvesting Timeliness of the expected research results relative to the objective.
The above potential criteria provide a systematic approach to prioritize data needs for harvesting.
Different organizations may weigh and consider each of these criteria differently based on their interests and perspectives, but each criteria is likely relevant to some degree for any organization.
NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to prioritize data needs for harvesting and identify areas of common interest.
Another activity NRC is pursuing is the potential development of a database for sources of materials for harvesting, which could include both previously harvested materials and those available for future harvesting. This database would allow for aligning of high-priority data needs to the available sources of materials. As with the data needs effort, the level of detail for the sources of materials database should be appropriate for the factors influencing decision-making. NRC is interested in engaging with other organizations to develop a database for sources of materials for harvesting.
NRC's experience is that harvesting can yield highly representative and valuable data on materials aging, but these efforts may be expensive and challenging. Having a clearly defined objective and early engagement with other stakeholders, including the NPP from which harvesting will take place, are key to success. As specific harvesting opportunities are identified through this strategic approach, the NRC welcomes opportunities for cooperation and leveraging resources with other interested research organizations.
