FOLLOW-UP ITEMS DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (the staff) and representatives of Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M) held a telephone conference call on September 7, 2004, to discuss and clarify follow-up items to RAIs concerning the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Cook), license renewal application (LRA). The following Items were discussed during the telephone conference call.

1. Follow-up Item to RAI 3.5-1 How many penetration bellows are in the Cook containments? Please summarize the operating experience related to the examination of these bellows. If provisions are made to assess their leaktightness (as they are not accessible for visual examination), please provide a summary of these provisions (including frequency of tests), and indicate if such leaktightness assessment of the bellows is part of the LRA aging management program (AMP) B.1.15 or B.1.8.

Staff Request I&Ms original response to RAI 3.5-1 indicates that the Cook containments do not have any containment pressure-boundary bellows. I&M is requested to confirm.

Status: The staff indicated to the applicant that the original response appeared contradictory to Table 3.5.2-1 of the LRA. Following an evaluation of the staffs position, the applicant stated that the response will be clarified. The applicant will submit a revised response.

2. Follow-up Item to RAI 3.5-2 For seals and gaskets related to containment penetrations, in Item Number 3.5.1-6 of the LRA, containment in-service inspection (ISI) and containment leak rate testing have been stated as the aging management programs. For equipment hatches and air-locks at Cook, the staff agrees with the applicant's assertion that the leak rate testing program will monitor aging degradation of their seals and gaskets, as they are leak rate tested after each closing. For other penetrations with seals and gaskets, the applicant is requested to provide information regarding the adequacy of Type B leak rate testing frequency to monitor aging degradation of seals and gaskets at Cook.

Staff Request Item II A3.3-a (Page II A3-5) of NUREG-1801 addresses the aging management of seals, gaskets, etc., which are part of the containment pressure boundary, i.e. seals and gaskets of equipment hatches, and mechanical & electrical penetrations. If I&M plans to monitor only air lock seals by means of containment leakage rate testing, then the applicant is requested to provide additional information regarding the aging management of seals and gaskets of equipment hatches, and mechanical and electrical penetration associated with the containment Enclosure 2

pressure boundary. If I&M credits containment leak rate testing program (Type B test of Appendix J) for aging management of these seals and gaskets, the applicant is requested to provide additional information as requested in RAI 3.5-2.

Status: The applicant indicated that the question is clear. The applicant will submit a revised response.
