ADDRESSEES All holders of operating licenses for nuclear power reactors, including those who have permanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vesse INTENT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) to inform licensees that it has revised NRC Inspection Manual Part 9900, Technical Guidance, "Operability Determinations & Functionality Assessments for Resolution of Degraded and Nonconforming Conditions Adverse to Quality or Safety (OD Process)," issued as the Attachment to RIS 2005-20, "Revision to Guidance Formerly Contained in NRC Generic Letter 91-18, 'Information to Licensees Regarding Two NRC Inspection Manual Sections on Resolution of Degraded and Nonconforming Conditions and on Operability," dated September 26, 200 The revised inspection guidance clarifies Appendix C.11, "Flaw Evaluation" and Appendix C.12, "Operational Leakage From Code Class 1, 2, 3 Components" selected issues regarding operability determinations involving American Society of Mechanical Engineers (AMSE), Code Class 2 and 3 pipin This RIS requires no action or written response on the part of an addresse BACKGROUND INFORMATION In the aforementioned OD Process, section 4.0, Operability Determination Process, the guidance specifies performing an Immediate Determination of Operability upon discovery of a degraded or nonconforming condition, followed by a Prompt Determination of Operability to gather supporting evidence (if necessary) that a reasonable expectation of operability exist In Appendices C.11 and C.12 the NRC staff stated their expectation that licensees must declare piping components and the part of the system containing the component immediately inoperable upon identification of through-wall (TW) leakag Identified TW leakage in a component is considered to be a degraded conditio RIS 2005-20, Rev. 1 Page 2 of 4 The NRC staff expectation that was set forth in the OD Process guidance for assessing operability of ASME Code Class 2 and 3 piping is that the system containing the component with TW leakage is inoperable and licensees are to follow the technical specification (TS) action requirements while collecting information about the TW flaw and assessing the piping structural integrit The guidance is consistent with TS guidance for ASME Code Class 1 piping and considers that evidence of leakage from a pressure boundary indicates the presence of a TW flaw and the inner diameter flaw may be large and cannot be determined based on surface breaking dimension This NRC staff expectation for assessing operability of ASME Code Class 2 and 3 piping is considered to be overly conservative by the industr SUMMARY OF ISSUE Attached is a revision to NRC Inspection Manual, Part 9900, Technical Guidance, AOperability Determinations & Functionality Assessments for Resolution of Degraded or Nonconforming Conditions Adverse to Quality or Safety@ (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML073531346). The revision only applies to Appendices C.11 and C.12 guidance issued in September 2005 as an attachment to RIS 2005-2 After RIS 2005-20, was issued, the industry expressed concerns regarding the default inoperability determination for ASME Code Class 2 and 3 piping because the NRC staff default decision establishes a potential shutdown scenario for any small leak in ASME Code Class 2 or 3 piping subject to T The industry concern with RIS 2005-20, was formally identified by a Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) white paper on operational leakage sent to the NRC staff in May 200 Since the NRC staff received the NEI white paper, five public meetings were held on the industry concerns about the OD Process guidance in Appendices C.11 (Flaw Evaluation) and C.12 (Operational Leakage). The meeting topics included: differences between high-energy and moderate-energy system operability determinations; criteria for evaluating structural integrity; and ASME Code relief request Meeting summaries are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management Syste The NRC staff discussed proposed wording changes in C.11 and C.12 at the last two public meetings to obtain industry and ASME comment In response to these discussions, the NRC staff has reconsidered its inspection technical guidanc The revised OD Process guidance continues to address certain conditions that should be satisfied for any operability determination involving a Class 2 and 3 high-energy or moderate-energy syste Accordingly, RIS 2005-20, Rev. 1, supersedes the guidance in RIS 2005-20 dated September 26, 2005 (ADAMS Accession No. ML052020424). The revised RIS addresses industry's concerns regarding default operability determinations by providing additional flexibility for licensees as well as appropriate guidance to the inspectors regarding actions needed to address potential safety concern The revised Part 9900 Technical Guidance also clarifies inspector guidance regarding appropriate criteria for evaluating structural integrity of degraded Class 2 and 3 components and clarifies the basis for licensee relief requests to address compliance with the regulations when components are determined to be degraded but operabl RIS 2005-20, Rev. 1 Page 3 of 4 BACKFIT DISCUSSION RIS 2005, Rev. 1, revises the staff position that was previously established in Rev. 0 of this RIS (issued on September 26, 2005, Accession No. ML0520204240) related to piping flaw evaluation and responses to operational leakage for ASME Code Class 2 and 3 pipin This new staff position is a relaxation in the current positio Additionally, this relaxation is voluntar Therefore, it is not a backfit under 10 CFR 50.10 Consequently, the staff did not perform a backfit analysi FEDERAL REGISTER NOTIFICATION A notice of opportunity for public comment on this RIS was not published in the Federal Register because this RIS is informational and pertains to a relaxation of a staff position that may be voluntarily adopted by addressee Furthermore, NRC has worked closely with NEI, industry representatives, and members of the public over a period of time on the development of the documents referenced in this RIS, and NRC has solicited public comment at public meeting CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW ACT The NRC has determined that this action is not subject to the Congressional Review Ac PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This RIS does not contain any information collections and, therefore, is not subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2005-20: REVISION TO GUIDANCE FORMERLY CONTAINED IN NRCGENERIC LETTER 91-18, "INFORMATION TO LICENSEESREGARDING TWO NRC INSPECTION MANUAL SECTIONS ONRESOLUTION OF DEGRADED AND NONCONFORMINGCONDITIONS AND ON OPERABILITY"ADDRESSEESAll holders of operating licenses for nuclear power reactors, including those who havepermanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel.INTENTThe U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this Regulatory Issue Summary(RIS) to inform licensees that it has revised the guidance contained in two sections of NRC Inspection Manual Part 9900, Technical Guidance, "Operable/Operability: Ensuring the Functional Capability of a System or Component" and "Resolution of Degraded and Nonconforming Conditions," and has combined these two documents into a single document.
 
The revised inspection guidance reflects relevant changes that have been made to NRC regulations, policies, and practices, and clarifies selected issues based on operating experienc This RIS requires no action or written response on the part of an addressee.BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThe NRC staff inspection guidance contained in the two NRC Inspection Manual sectionsdescribed above were initially provided to licensees in Generic Letter (GL) 91-18, issued on November 7, 199 The NRC staff revised the guidance in NRC Inspection Manual Part 9900, Technical Guidance, "Resolution of Degraded and Nonconforming Conditions," and issued it inRevision 1 of GL 91-18 on October 8, 199 The purpose of Revision 1 of GL 91-18 was to more explicitly discuss the role of the 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation process in the resolution of degraded and nonconforming condition In the summer of 2003, the NRC staff sought public comment on the technical guidance, whichincluded holding a public workshop in August 200 The staff revised the guidance based on the inputs received, and held a second public workshop to discuss it in August 200 Subsequently, the NRC staff met several times in 2005 with an industry task force formed by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), and resolved the comments received from various stakeholders.ML052020424 RIS 2005-20Page 2 of 3SUMMARY OF ISSUEAttached is a revised NRC Inspection Manual, Part 9900, Technical Guidance, "OperabilityDeterminations & Functionality Assessments for Resolution of Degraded or Nonconforming Conditions Adverse to Quality or Safety." This guidance supercedes the guidance previously provided in GL 91-18 and Revision 1 to GL 91-1 The attached inspection manual section provides guidance to NRC inspectors for reviewing theactions of licensees pertaining to the operability of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) following the discovery of degraded and nonconforming conditions in SSC However, many licensees have found NRC's guidance to be very useful in developing their plant-specific processes, and therefore the NRC staff is communicating it to licensees as a RI The NRC revised its inspection guidance to reflect ongoing regulatory changes, includingimplementation of the revised reactor oversight process, the requirement that licensees appropriately assess and manage risk related to proposed maintenance activities (10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)), and implementation of the revised change control process in 10 CFR 50.59,
"Changes, Tests and Experiments." The revision also clarifies selected issues in the guidance based on operating experience and industry feedbac In addition, the NRC concluded that the two inspection manual documents were closely related. The NRC staff therefore combined the documents, and at the same time re-wrote them to make them clearer and more process-oriente However, the NRC understands that licensees may collectively refer to the processes described in the revised Part 9900 as the "GL 91-18 process" or the "operability determination process (ODP)."BACKFIT DISCUSSIONThis RIS requires no action or written response and, therefore, is not a backfit under 10 CFR50.10 Consequently, the staff did not perform a backfit analysis.FEDERAL REGISTER NOTIFICATIONA notice of opportunity for public comment was published in the Federal Register on August 3,2004 (69 FR 46599), to give interested parties an opportunity to suggest ways for improving the guidanc The staff concludes that this RIS and the attached NRC inspection guidance are informational and pertain to a staff position that does not represent a departure from current regulatory requirements and practices.SMALL BUSINESS REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT FAIRNESS ACT OF 1996This RIS is not a "rule" as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804 and therefore is not subject to theCongressional review provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Action of 199 RIS 2005-20Page 3 of 3PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENTThis RIS does not contain any information collections and, therefore, is not subject to therequirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The information collection requirements referenced in Manual Chapter 9900 are approved by the Office of Management and Budget approval number 3150-0011 which expire February 28, 200 The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number.CONTACTPlease direct any questions about this matter to the technical contacts listed below, or to theappropriate Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) project manager./RA/Patrick L.
