REGULATORY GUIDE 1.147 (Draft was issued as DG-1192, dated June 2009)
  INSERVICE INSPECTION CODE CASE ACCEPTABILITY, ASME SECTION XI, DIVISION 1
 
==A. INTRODUCTION==
General Design Criterion (GDC) 1, "Quality Standa rds and Records," of Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," to Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities" (Ref. 1), requires, in part, that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed.  Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, Criterion 1 requires that they be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and be supplemented or modified as necessary to ensure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function.
 
Provisions of the ASME International Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code have been used since 1971 as one part of the framework to establish the necessary design, fabrication, construction, testing, and performance requirements for structures, systems, and components important to safety.  Among other things, ASME standards committees develop improved methods fo r the construction and inservice inspection (ISI) of ASME Class 1, 2, 3, MC (metal containment), and CC (concrete containment) nuclear power plant components.  A broad spectrum of stakeholders participates in the ASME process, which helps to ensure that the various interests are considered.
 
Rev. 16 of RG 1.147, Page 2 The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(g), "Inservice Inspection Requirements," requires, in part, that Classes 1, 2, 3, MC, and CC components and their supports meet the requirements of Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," of the ASME BPV Code (Ref. 2) or equivalent quality standards.  Every 3 years the ASME publishes a new edition of the BPV Code, including Section XI, and new addenda are published every year.  The latest editions and addenda of Section XI that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved for use are referenced in
10 CFR 50.55a(b).  The ASME also publishes Code Cases quarterly.  Code Cases provide alternatives to existing Code requirements that the ASME developed and approved.  This regulatory guide identifies the Code Cases that the NRC has determined to be acceptable alternatives to applicable parts of Section XI.  Licenses may use these Code Cases without requesting authorization from the NRC, provided that they are used with any identified limitations or modifications.  Section XI Code Cases not yet endorsed by the NRC may be used by a licensee or applicant through 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3).  That section permits the use of alternatives to the Code requirements referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a provided that the proposed alternatives result in an acceptable level of quality and safety and that their use is authorized by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
 
The ASME Code is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a, which the NRC will amend to incorporate this guide by reference; 10 CFR 50.55a states the requirements governing the use of Code Cases.  Because of continuing change in the status of Code Cases, the staff plans periodic updates to 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide to accommodate new Code Cases and any revisi ons of existing Code Cases.  Code Cases approved by the NRC provide an acceptable voluntary alternative to the mandatory ASME Code provisions.
 
This regulatory guide contains new information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).  Code Case N-730, "Roll Expansion of Class 1 Control Rod Drive Bottom Head Penetrations in BWRs, Section XI, Division 1," requires licensees to maintain the repair records for the life of the reactor pressure vessel.  The Code Case is only applicable to the 35 boiling water reactors.  It is estimated that the Code Case will be applied five times each year.  The increase in recordkeeping burden is estimated to be 25 p-hrs/yr (i.e., 5 occurrences x 5 p-hr/repair).
  This regulatory guide does not contain any new reporting requirements associated with new Code Cases being addressed in this regulatory guide.  This regulatory guide contains existing information collections that are covered by the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved under OMB control number 3150-0011.  The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an informa tion collection request or requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number.

==B. DISCUSSION==
For Revision 16 of Regulatory Guide 1.147, the NRC reviewed the Section XI Code Cases listed in Supplements 2 through 11 to the 2004 and Supplement 0 published with the 2007 Edition (Supplement 0 also serves as Supplement 12 to the 2004 Edition) of the ASME BPV Code.  Appendix A to this guide lists the supplements reviewed, the edition, the supplement number, and the date on which the supplement was approved by the ASME Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards.  Appendix B is a list of the Section XI Code Cases published by the ASME in the eleven supplements.  Finally, Appendix C is a current list of all Section XI Code Cases.  The Code Cases addressed by this regulatory guide are listed in five tables: (1) Table 1, "Acceptable Section XI Code Cases," lists the Code Cases that are acceptable to the NRC for implementation in the ISI of light-water-cooled nuclear power plants. (2) Table 2, "Conditionally Acceptable Section XI Code Cases," lists the Code Cases that are acceptable, provided that they are used with the identified limitations or modifications (i.e., the Code Case is generally acceptable but the NRC has determined that the alternative requirements must be supplemented in order to provide an acceptable level of quality and safety). (3) Table 3, "Annulled Unconditionally Approved Section XI Code Cases," lists Code Cases annulled by the ASME that the NRC previously determined to be fully acceptable. (4) Table 4, "Annulled Conditionally Acceptable Section XI Code Cases," lists Code Cases that the NRC determined to be acceptable, provided that they were used with the identified limitations or modifications, but were subsequently annulled by the ASME. (5) Table 5, "Section XI Code Cases That Have Been Superseded by Revised Code Cases," lists Code Cases that have been superseded through revision.  Code Cases that the NRC determined to be unacceptable are listed in Regulatory Guide 1.193, "ASME Code Cases Not Approved for Use" (Ref. 4).
  Code Cases provide alternatives to existing Code requirements that the ASME developed and approved.  The new Code Cases and revisions to existing Code Cases listed as approved in Tables 1 and 2 of this guide will be incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a.  Code Cases approved by the NRC may be used voluntarily by licensees as an alternative to compliance with ASME Code provisions incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a.
 
When a licensee initially implements a Code Case, 10 CFR 50.55a requires that the most recent version of that Code Case as listed in Tables 1 and 2 be implemented.  If a Code Case is implemented by a licensee and a later version of the Code Case is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a and listed in Tables 1 and 2 during the licensee's present 120-month ISI program interval, that licensee may use either the later version or the previous version.  An exception to this provision would be the inclusion of a limitation or condition on the use of the Code Case that is necessary, for example, to enhance safety.  Licensees who choose to continue use of the Code Case during the subsequent 120-month ISI program interval will be required to implement the latest version incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a and listed in Tables 1 and 2.
 
Code Cases may be annulled because the provisions have been incorporated into the Code, the application for which it was specifically developed no longer exists, or experience has shown that an examination or testing method is no longer adequate.  After a Code Case is annulled and 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide are amended, licensees may not implement that Code Case for the first time.  However, a licensee who implemented the Code Case prior to annulment may continue to use that Code Case through the end of the present ISI interval.  An annulled Code Case cannot be used in the subsequent ISI interval unless implemented as an approved alternative under 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3).  If a Code Case is Rev. 16 of RG 1.147, Page 4 incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a and later annulled by the ASME because experience has shown that an examination or testing method is inadequate, the NRC will amend 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide to remove the approval of the annulled Code Case.  Licensees should not begin to implement such annulled Code Cases prior to the rulemaking.  Notwithstanding these requirements, the Commission may impose new or revised Code requirements, including implementation schedules, that it determines are consistent with the Backfit Rule (10 CFR 50.109).
 
With regard to the use of any Code Case, it is the responsibility of the user to make certain that the provisions of the Code Case do not conflict with regulatory requirements or licensee commitments.

(2) Components affected by flow-accelerated corrosion to which this Code Case are applied must be repaired or replaced in accordance with the construction code of record and Owner's requirements or a later NRC approved edition of Section III, "Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components," of the ASME Code (Ref. 7) prior to the value of t p reaching the allowable minimum wall thickness, tmin, as specified in -3622.1(a)(1) of this Code Case.  Alternatively, use of the Code Case is subject to NRC review and approval per 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3). (3) For Class 1 piping not meeting the criteria of -3221, the use of evaluation methods and criteria is subject to NRC review and approval per 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3). (4) For those components that do not require immediate repair or replacement, the rate of wall thickness loss is to be used to determine a suitable inspection frequency so that repair or replacement occurs prior to reaching allowable minimum wall thickness, tmin. (5) For corrosion phenomenon other than flow accelerated corrosion, use of the Code Case is subject to NRC review and approval.  Inspection plans and wall thinning rates may be difficult to justify for certain degradation mechanisms such as MIC and pitting.
