1 PURPOSE
Purpose of ageing management program of Dry Storage Casks at CNPGS is to identify, monitor and
subsequently mitigate the ageing degradations, to keep their integrity intact during their service life
through systematic ageing management.
2 SCOPE
This program is applicable to all dry storage casks placed in dry storage facility at CNPGS.

4.1 DEFINITIONS
1. Ageing General process in which characteristics of system structure or component
change with time or use
2. Ageing Effect Net changes in characteristics of SSC that occur with time or use
3. Ageing Specific process that gradually changes characteristics of and SSC with time
Mechanism or use
4. Galvanic Galvanic corrosion is an accelerated corrosion occurring when a metal is
Corrosion electrically coupled with a more noble metal with different surface potential.
5. Stress Stress corrosion cracking is a complex phenomenon driven by the synergistic
Corrosion interaction of mechanical, electrochemical and metallurgical factors.
Cracking
6. Fouling It is the accumulation of foreign materials on the surfaces, such as inside of
pipes , steam generators or heat exchangers

Moreover, decolouration and de-bonding due to lining degradation and weathering; pits formation, loss of
material and cracking due to pitting & crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking are needed to be
kept in check for liner. Fouling leads to blockages of inlet/outlet ports while combined with weathering it
could also lead to peeling, delamination & cracking of coatings.

Moreover, Radiation surveys of SC-21 are conducted once per year - therefore if the radiation limit is
crossed during the said survey, then Ultrasonic testing (as per ASTM C597) will be done to find out the
degradation of concrete and further corrective action program will be implemented accordingly.
8 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
1. Methods of reporting results will be as per 10 CFR 72.75.
2. Frequency for updating AMP will be based on site-specific, design specific and operating experience.
3. Reporting of Emergency, Non-emergency, follow up notification and supplemental information will
be reported to PNRA by CNPGS as per 10 CFR 72.75.
4. After every year, ageing management program will be updated by CNPGS for any type of
modifications made due to operating experience.
