Containment Inspection Interval Extension Program
BCP has developed an approach and methodology to examine the containment ISI results and, using these, develop a solid technical argument for setting risk/ performance based intervals at each of the company’s prestressed containment units. This argument would then serve as basis for a relief request to move from the prescriptive interval requirements of Subsection IWL to more logical performance based requirements.
We anticipate a Utility cost savings by eliminating examinations resulting with subsequent ISI cost reductions of conservatively $1.5 million to as much as $3 million per unit.
