REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION SEPTEMBER 16, 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 16, 2004, to discuss and clarify the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Cook), license renewal application (LRA). The following RAI was discussed during the telephone conference call.

RAI 3.5-1 In line item 3.5.1-3 of Table 3.5.1 of the LRA, the applicant indicates that the aging effects related to loss of material due to corrosion of bellows, and dissimilar metal welds are managed consistent with NUREG-1801. NUREG-1801 recommends the examination of penetration bellows and the associated dissimilar welds based on the operating experience with the stress corrosion cracking of bellows as documented in NRC Information Notice 92-20. The applicant is requested to provide the following information related to the examination and/or testing of containment penetration bellows:

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.

Additional Information Requested I&Ms supplemental response to RAI 3.5-1 indicates that the Cook penetration bellows do not provide a containment pressure-boundary function, they are not included in the scope of license renewal, and are not subject to aging management. The staff had concerns that cracking in two sets of bellows in the penetration could jeopardize containment isolation and that the bellows do perform support functions for two safety-related pipes and structures. The applicant is requested to justify why these bellows should not be in the scope of license renewal.

Discussion The applicant directed the staff to Figure 5.2-4 of the Cook updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR). Figure 5.2-4 illustrates the fuel transfer tube on which the bellows in question are located. I&M used the figure to confirm how the bellow inside containment is completely independent of those bellows outside containment and that it was impossible for there to be communication between the inside and outside bellows. I&M used the figure to confirm that the bellows do not perform support functions. The staff will evaluate this information and no further I&M action is requested at this time.
