QUESTIONS FOR UPCOMING PHONE CALL WITH TMI-1 REGARDING INTEGRATED LEAK RATE TEST (ILRT) EXTENSION REQUEST 1.

Please provide specifics on what is the accessible surface of the liner that was examined.

Sketches or drawings would be helpful.

2.

Please provide specifics on exam results including nondestructible exam data (surface and volumetric), trending information on corrosion and wall thickness measurements especially in the area of the moisture barrier interface.

3.

Please provide any other specific data and supporting information that the licensee may have used to conclude that there is no thinning of the liner and that the concrete interface is intact in all locations.

4.

Inspections of some reinforced and steel containments (e.g., North Anna, Brunswick, D. C.

Cook, and Oyster Creek) have indicated degradation from the uninspectable (embedded) side of the steel shell and liner of primary containments. The major uninspectable areas of the TMI-1 containment include the portion of the steel shell embedded in the basemat and the inaccessible areas between the steel liner and concrete containment. Please provide a quantitative assessment of the impact on large early release frequency due to age-related degradation in these areas, in support of the requested ILRT interval extension from 10 to 15 years.
