Re: Revised Purpose Statement for Ventilation Area Pressure Boundary Sealantslnspection
- Bob, Just wanted to clarify what Kimberley has asked for. We think it needs to be docketed in a letter (under oath or affirmation) from Duke rather than provided in informal electronic correspondence and attached to a conference call summary.
- Thanks, Rani

Good afternoon Bob I've been working on the summary for our conference call last week. Rani and I were discussing the revised purpose statement you emailed below. We don't feel that it needs to be docketed but we would like it to be resubmitted under oath and affirmation in its correct format. We are concerned about future confusion in that this would only be documented in an attachment to a telecom summary. With the missing words and phrases, it leaves the purpose of the program open to interpretation. If you have any questions, please give Rani or myself a call.
Thank you.

Apparently we had some word processing glitches that caused incomplete sentences to be left in the text that were not identified by our final reviews. Here is a completely revised Purpose paragraphs. If this needs to be docketed I suggest that this email be attached to the staff's telecon summary for the call that we had today.
The purpose of the Ventilation Area Pressure Boundary Sealants Inspection is to enhance existing surveillance requirements to characterize any cracking or shrinkage of structural sealants due to exposure to the ambient conditions. Uncertainty exists as to whether exposure of pressure boundary structural sealants to the ambient conditions within the Auxiliary Building, Annulus and Fuel Handling Building could cause cracking or shrinkage and result in a loss of function of the sealants. The visual inspection will provide additional assurance that the structural sealants installed in the ventilation pressure boundary of the Control Room, ECCS Pump Room, Annulus, and Fuel Handling areas will continue to maintain the differential pressure required by the current licensing basis. The visual inspection will identify cracking and shrinkage of the structural sealants that would result in loss of intended function and an inability of the sealants to maintain the differential pressure required by the current design basis. Corrective actions may then be taken to repair or replace the structural sealants. The Ventilation Area Pressure Boundary Sealants Inspection is a one-time inspection.
