SUMMARY

OF MEETING WITH THE NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE (NEI) ON INDUSTRYS COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT GENERIC AGING LESSONS LEARNED (GALL) REPORT-STRUCTURES &

COMPONENT SUPPORTS AND AUXILIARY SYSTEMS On March 30, 2000, representative of NEI met with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in Rockville, Maryland, regarding the industrys comments on section A1 of Chapter III Structures and Component Supports and sections B1 and B2 of Chapter VII Auxiliary Systems, of the draft GALL report, dated December 6, 1999. By letter dated March 27, 2000, NEI has provided their written comments for discussion at this meeting. A list of meeting attendees is attached.

The staff asked the industry to clarify certain NEIs comments on the draft GALL report. For those comments we discussed, NEI indicated that the industry would consider revising its comments (identified below by numbers) by taking the following actions:

Section A1 "Class1 Structures, Chapter III (A1) Structures and Component Supports NEI Comment:

Actions 72:

modify the sentence that states aging effects to aging effects could lead to a loss of intended function(s) to be more specific on the consequence of aging effects and incorporate the inspection of bolt-tightness checks for concrete expansion anchors in the report.

398:

edit the last sentence of the Further Evaluation column to explain why no further evaluation is necessary.

74:

evaluate whether the proposed word change from... is conducted under... to...should be conducted... is still necessary after our discussion on 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

226:

review EPRI document whether inserting of a phrase with oxygen available is necessary and revise it accordingly.

290:

review NUREG/CP-0100 if the application of pH 11.5 for groundwater is correct and revise it if necessary.

334:

review NUREG-1557 to identify which one (i.e., interior or exterior) is correct for applying below grade surfaces.

April 5, 2000 335:

define for an extended period of time to clarify its meaning.

399:

consider including IN 98-26 and IN 97-11 for managing the aging effect in References column and also provide an entry for aging mechanism under Aging Mechanism column.

76:

consider putting both references IE Bulletin 80-11 and IN 87-67 back in References column because they are being referenced for the purpose of scoping.

77:

revise items (5) monitoring and trending, (6) acceptance criteria, and (10) operating experience of Evaluation and Technical Basis to provide additional information regarding these program elements.

Sections B1 and B2 Light/Heavy load Handling Systems, Chapter VII Auxiliary Systems NEI Comment:

Actions 151:

consider using more consistent wording in describing bridge, trolley, and rails as the proposed word Crane may be oversimplifying and confusing.

165:.

clarify or revise acceptance Criteria (No. 6) to include specific codes and/or standard.

201:

reconsider a reference to OSHA crane inspection as part of effective crane aging managing programs.

151/177:

consider whether both light (B1) and heavy load (B2) handling systems could be combined together.

The staff indicated it would consider NEIs comments on the draft GALL report. NEI indicated that the industry could be providing the rest of Civil/Structure comments on the draft GALL report by the end of April. Also, attached is a summary of program comments on Civil/Structural Working Group Review that was provided by NEI during the meeting.
