REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)
Section 3.2: Aging Management of Engineered Safety Features Systems Section 3.3: Aging Management of Auxiliary Systems Section 3.4: Aging Management of Steam and Power Conversion Systems RAI 3.2-7 (This RAI is related to engineered safety features, auxiliary, and/or steam and power conversion systems)
The Bolting Integrity program in Section XI-M18 of NUREG-1801 addresses the aging effects of cracking and loss of preload (stress relaxation) for closure bolting. Cracking is considered an aging effect requiring management (AERM) for high strength bolts where the actual yield strength of the material is equal or greater than 150 ksi and stress relaxation is considered an AERM for bolts in high temperature applications. The LRA Tables 3.2.2-X, 3.3.2-X, and 3.4.2-X do not address cracking or stress relaxation for these conditions. The applicant is requested to discuss if any bolting in the engineered safety features, auxiliary systems, and/or steam and power conversion systems meet these conditions and provide appropriate aging management.
