3 3 SPANISH NPP SCENARIO
4 4 Ageing of the Spanish Nuclear Power Plants Garoña BWR GE-3 X Ascó 1 PWR W Ascó 2 PWR W-3 Almaraz 1 PWR W Almaraz 2 PWR W-3 29 Trillo KWU Cofrentes BWR GE Vandellós II PWR W-3 We are turning 40 7 operational units. 5 over 30 years. 1 unit beginning its decommissioning. 20% generation is nuclear (2016 data). No plans for new build.
5 5 Nuclear Regulatory Framework in Spain The Spanish Regulatory Authority (CSN) develops the nuclear regulation in Spain. The CSN can also endorse standards from international organisations. Other regulations/standards come from the country where the technology was developed. Laws & Safety Instructions (IS) MANDATORY Generic Country of origin of technology Safety Guidelines (GS) GOOD PRACTICE Information Notices INFORMATION International Standards Technical Instructions (ITC) MANDATORY Plant Specific
6 6 Regulatory Requirements for Materials Ageing CSN Safety Guide, GS 1.10 Rev. 2: Periodic Safety Reviews (PSR) of nuclear power plants. CSN Safety Instruction, IS-22 Rev. 1: on safety requirements for ageing management and LTO of NPP, based on US NRC 10 CFR 54. General Licensing & Regulatory Aspects No legal lifetime limit for the Spanish NPP For each plant an Operating License is required and includes the due date for its renewal. All Spanish nuclear power plants have 40 years of lifetime. IS-22 Methodology based on NRC 10 CFR 54 to prepare the NPP license renewal applications. GS 1.10 Includes the need to develop and maintain updated plans of lifetime management.

10 10 Tecnatom activities related to LTO in Almaraz I and II One of the items required in the CSN Integrated Ageing & Evaluation Programme is the: identification, analysis and resolution of the Time-Limited Ageing Analyses. Within the Almaraz Lifetime Plant (LMP), an Ageing Programme (AMP) for the Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI) has already be defined. The CSN requires to include the MRP-227 and MRP-228 reactor vessel internals inspections: applicability study of MRP-227 to Almaraz NPP; design of a plant-specific inspection programme according to EPRI guidelines; based on economic and availability reasons.
11 11 RESOLUTION OF TLAA
12 12 Identification and resolution of TLAA in Almaraz NPP Those licensee calculations and analyses that: 1. Include systems, structures, and components (SSC) within the scope of ageing management. 2. Take into account the effects of time and the long-term operation. 3. Include assumptions based on a limited design life. 4. They conclude with the SSC availability or not, to continue operating, according to their functions defined, once the limited design life has been exceeded. 5. Were considered relevant in any safety assessment. 6. Are contained or incorporated by reference in the Current License Basis of the facility. The six criteria have to be satisfied to classify any analysis as a TLAA
13 13 Identification of TLAA in Almaraz NPP Preliminary screening: around 100 calculations identified as possible TLAA: Finally 39 analyses were classified as TLAA. 67% were related to METAL FATIGUE. 15% were related to REACTOR VESSEL NEUTRON EMBRITTLEMENT. 18% related to other issues.
14 14 Resolution of TLAA in Almaraz NPP Alternatives for TLAA resolution described in the IS-22: a) Verify that the analysis remains valid for the period of extended operation (60 years). b) Re evaluate the analysis for the period of extended operation and verify that the acceptance criteria are met. c) Demonstrate that the effects of ageing can be managed properly during the period of extended operation. 47% of the TLAA were solved directly by option a) 28% were solved by option b) 25% were solved by a combination of options a), b) and c)

16 16 EPRI MRP-227 APPLICABILITY STUDY
17 17 Applicability of MRP-227 in Almaraz I and II In the applicability study the following issues were taken into account: Scope and NDE inspection methods proposed in the guide. The material class of each functional component is as listed in MRP-191 (latest revision). 30 years of operation, as a base-loaded plant, with high-leakage core loading patterns followed by a low-leakage strategy for the remaining 30 years of operation (base-loaded). Effective Full Power Years (EFPY) of each Unit of Almaraz. Accessibility conditions for compliance with the requirements of MRP-228. Reactor Core Design CNA 1 CNA 2 High leakages Cycles 1 to 4 Cycles 1 and 2 Transition Cycles 5 to 7 Cycles 3 to 5 Low leakages Cycles 8 to 25 Cycles 6 to 24
18 18 MRP-227 Methodology Summary 8 age-related degradation mechanisms Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) Irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) Thermal ageing embrittlement Irradiation embrittlement Wear Fatigue Void swelling Irradiation-enhanced creep Categorize in 3 groups (FMECA) RVI placed into 4 functional groups A. Non-significant effects B. Moderately significant effects C. Potentially significant effects Primary Expansion Existing programmes No additional measures CRITICITY PRIMARY EXPANSION EXISTING PROGRAMMES NO ADDITIONAL MEASURES INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS (MRP-227)

20 20 ISI Programme for Almaraz NPP based on MRP-227/228 Taking into account the following items: Prior visual inspections results of all the In-Service Inspections performed up to 04/2017. Coordination with the planned RVI extractions according to the ASME XI ISI Programme. Minimising the Critical Path during the refuelling outages. Operational Experience (OE) from USA fleet after application of MRP-227-A inspection requirements.
21 21 ISI Programme for Almaraz NPP based on MRP-227/228 Some of the advantages: All the inspections will be performed in two refuelling outages: AL1: R127 (April 2020) and R128 (October 2021) AL2: R226 (March 2021) and R227 (September 2022) MRP-227 inspections are finished prior to the beginning of LTO period (beyond 40 years). The core barrel extraction, required at the end of the 4 th interval, is used to perform the MRP-227 inspections. Human resources, time and economic costs are optimised.
22 22 CONCLUSIONS
23 23 Almaraz NPP is preparing its LTO by means of Submitting the AMP required by the CSN Identification, analysis and resolution of the TLAA for the extended period of operation. Almost half of the Almaraz TLAA remain valid for the period of extended operation. Designing a specific reactor vessel internals ISI Programme Based on the EPRI guidelines, MRP-227 and MRP-228. All the inspections will be performed in two refuelling outages before LTO period starts.
