After a U.S. nuclear reactor has been in operation for 40 years, operating licenses may be renewed for another 20 years, provided it can be demonstrated that the unit will maintain adequate safety levels over the extended period of operation. Most U.S. plant owners have sought or will seek extended operating licenses, and most find the need for technical support to see them through the NRC license renewal process. Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SI) provides compr ehensive license renewal support, and has in fact provided consultation and support to the majority of the utilities that have sought license extensions to date. Support services include preparation and review of License Renewal Applications (LRAs), fatigue evaluations, analyses/evaluations initiated by Aging Management Reviews (AMRs), responses to NRC questions on LRA submittals, and support for implementation of LRA commitments. SI also prepares and reviews management programs to address age-related degradation, including Fatigue and Neutron Embrittlement AMRs.
