SUMMARY
OF MEETING WITH THE NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE (NEI) ON INDUSTRYS COMMENTS ON CHAPTER 2, STRUCTURES AND COMPONENTS SUBJECT TO AGING MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF THE DRAFT STANDARD REVIEW PLAN FOR THE REVIEW OF LICENSE RENEWAL (SRP-LR) APPLICATIONS FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS On July 18, 2000, representatives from NEI met with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss industrys comments on Chapter 2, Structures and Components Subject to Aging Management Review of the April 21, 2000, Draft Standard Review Plan for the Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (SRP-LR). NEI provided their comments as a handout at a June 26, 2000, public meeting. A list of meeting attendees is attached.
During the meeting the staff asked the industry to clarify certain of NEIs comments. NRC Staff and NEI representatives discussed comments on each section of Chapter 2. The staff will take following actions as a result of the discussion;
Scoping and Screening Methodology (Section 2.1):
The staff will reconsider industrys comment about reviews of facilitys Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) and results of facilitys Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE)
The staff will clarify that paragraph 2.1.3.1 on page 2.1.4 does not imply that a compilation, review and submission of documents that may comprise CLB is required.
The staff will reconsider whether the subject Piece Parts in the Table 2.1.3 is necessary based on the experience from the initial application reviews.
Plant Level Scoping Results (Section 2.2), System Scoping and Screening Results:
Mechanical (Section 2.3), Scoping and Screening Results: Structures (Section 2.4),
Scoping and Screening Results: Electrical and Instrumentation and Control Systems (Section 2.5)
NEIs comments generally reflect a need for clarifying the staffs review approach. The staff review approach is to sample the applicants scoping results.
To come to a "reasonable assurance" finding, the staff should find no omission of components and structures identified by the applicant as subject to an aging
management review (AMR). This is consistent with the staff review of the initial license renewal applications.
August 11, 2000 NEI suggested that the staff should use applicants scoping methodology to review scoping and screening results. However, the staff performs an independent review of the applicants scoping and screening results. The purpose of the independent review is to verify the adequacy of the applicants scoping methodology.
The SRP provides guidance to the staff to perform review. NEI comments would delete most of the guidance under staff review procedures. This is not consistent with the purpose of the SRP.
The staff will consider whether to delete the last example in Table 2.5-1 because it does not describe a space approach and is not consistent with the rest of the information in the table.
The Staff stated that it would consider NEIs comments in preparing the draft SRP-LR for issuance for public comment in August.
