February 28, 2023 Brief Description of Proposed Alternative Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation, doing business as Xcel Energy (hereafter 'NSPM'),
hereby requests NRC authorization of this 10 CFR 50.55a request to support the implementation of the sixth IST ten-year interval for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP). Proposed Relief Request VR-08 requests to adopt ASME Code Case OMN-28, 'Alternative Valve Position Verification Approach to Satisfy ISTC-3700 for Valves Not Susceptible to Stem-Disk Separation'. This submittal makes no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.
Proposed Duration of Alternative (in terms of ISI/IST Program Interval with Start and End Dates):
This request, upon approval, will be applied to the MNGP sixth IST ten-year interval starting October 1, 2022, and is scheduled to end May 31, 2032.
Applicable ASME Code Requirements ISTC-3700, 'Position Verification Testing', states that valves with remote position indicators shall be observed locally at least once every two years to verify that valve operation is accurately indicated. Where practicable, this local observation should be supplemented by other indications such as use of flow meters or other suitable instrumentation to verify obturator position. These observations need not be concurrent. Where local observation is not possible, other indications shall be used for verification of valve operation. Position verification for active Motor Operated Valves (MOVs) shall be tested in accordance with Mandatory Appendix III, 'Preservice and Inservice Testing of Active Electric Motor-Operated Valve Assemblies in Water-Cooled Reactor Nuclear Power Plants', of this Division.Mandatory Appendix III, subparagraph III-3300, 'Inservice Test', (e) states that remote position indication shall be verified locally during inservice testing or maintenance activities.10 CFR 50.55a(b)(3)(xi) imposes the following ASME OM condition for use of the 2012 or later editions of the OM Code for 'Valve Position Indication': 'When implementing paragraph ISTC-3700, 'Position Verification Testing', in the ASME OM Code, 2012 Edition through the latest edition and addenda of the ASME OM Code incorporated by reference in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section, licensees shall verify that valve operation is accurately indicated by supplementing valve position indicating lights with other indications,


such as flow meters or other suitable instrumentation to provide assurance of proper obturator position for valves with remote position indication within the scope of Subsection ISTC including its mandatory appendices and their verification methods and frequencies'.

===Reason for Request===
Req ue ste d Co mp le tio n Da te :
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), NSPM is requesting approval to adopt ASME OM Code Case OMN-28, Alternative Valve Position Verification Approach to Satisfy ISTC-3700 for Valves Not Susceptible to Stem-Disk Separation for those valves that can be defined, categorized, and documented by engineering justification as stem-disk separation non-susceptible valves(s).
Fe br ua ry 2 8, 2 02 3
Proposed NRC amendments to 50.55a(b)(3)(xi) will allow schedule flexibility for valves determined to be not susceptible to stem-disc separation by specifying that position verification testing required by ISTC-3700 may be performed on a 10-year interval (rather than the 2-year interval specified in ISTC-3700) where justification is documented and available for NRC review (Reference 1). Such documentation would be required to demonstrate that the stem-disk connection is not susceptible to separation based on the internal design and evaluation of the stem-disk connection using plant-specific and industry operating experience, and vendor recommendations. This allows design information and performance data to be applied in demonstrating that a valve is not susceptible to stem-disk separation.
The ASME Code committees have prepared Code Case OMN-28, Alternative Valve Position Verification Approach to Satisfy ISTC-3700 for Valves Not Susceptible to Stem-Disk Separation. This Code Case has not been approved for use in Regulatory Guide 1.192, Operation and Maintenance Code Case Acceptability, ASME OM Code, Revision 4, December 2021. This Code Case has been approved by ASME and is listed in the Applicability Index from ASME Codes and Standards, as applicable through the 2020 Edition of the ASME OM Code.


This Code Case mirrors the philosophy and methodology of the proposed NRC modifications to 50.55a(b)(3)

(xi) for valves determined to be non-susceptible to stem-disc separation. The Code Case differs in that it proposes a 12-year rather than a 10-year interval. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1), the relaxation of the prescribed intervals for performing ISTC-3700 supplemental position verification requirements in accordance with the 50.55a(b)(3)(xi) condition would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety for valves meeting the OMN-28 definition of stem-disk separation non-susceptible valve(s).

Full Description of Proposed Alternative In lieu of compliance with ISTC-3700, NSPM proposes to implement the ASME OM Code Case OMN-28 on the basis that it provides an acceptable level of quality and safety in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a, Codes and standards, paragraph (z)(1).
Description of Basis for Use The valves covered by this code case are those stem-disk separation non-susceptible valves with remote position indication within the scope of Subsection ISTC, including its mandatory appendices and their verifications methods and frequencies, in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Valves with remote position indication within the scope of ASME OM Code, Subsection ISTA, paragraph ISTA-1100, not satisfying the scope and provisions of this code case shall meet the valve position verification requirements in ASME OM Code, Paragraph ISTC-3700, in accordance with regulatory requirements.
To categorize a valve as not susceptible to stem-disk separation, the valve shall have a documented justification that the stem-disk connection is not susceptible to separation based on the internal design, service conditions, applications, and evaluation of the stem-disk connection using plant-specific and industry operating experience, and vendor recommendations.
Valves with remote position indicators that are not susceptible to stem-disk separation shall be verified to accurately represent valve operation as discussed in paragraph 1.4, Position Verification Testing Requirements for Valves Not Susceptible to Stem-Disk Separation, of the Code Case.
Code Case OMN-28 was approved for use by the ASME on March 4, 2021.
No deviations from the Code Case are being proposed.
