Office of Enforcement Items of Interest Week Ending January 10, 2025 Summary of DPO-2022-002-Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
On November 6, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) issued a Directors Decision on a Differing Professional Opinion (DPO) submitted on September 6, 2022. The DPO raised concerns with the NRC staff approval for use of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite for repairing degraded American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Class 3 safety-related piping at the Surry, Brunswick, South Texas Project, and Arkansas Nuclear One nuclear power plants.
The Directors Decision agreed with some of the DPO concerns and some of the recommendations from the DPO review panel. To carry out those recommendations, the Director of NRR assigned the appropriate NRR staff to (1) to assess the inspection program and to identify any enhancements needed to support the inspectors during the CFRP systems installations at nuclear power plants, and (2) to find the most appropriate communication vehicle to convey NRC insights on the CFRP installations and those aspects gained through the detailed independent risk analysis from each application. The Director also expressed NRRs support for the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research to finalize and submit for review a User Need Request related to CFRP properties and the suitability of repairing ASME Class 3 safety related piping.
The publicly available DPO case file can be located at Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML25002A153.
