Scoping and Screening Inspection Results
==
Conclusion:==
Scoping and screening process was successful in identifying those Structures, Systems, and Components requiring an aging management review.
Two items brought into scope:
Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Pumps Switchyard Control House
Scoping and Screening Inspection Results Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Pumps SFPC Pump casing could fail and spray water on the EFW Pump inlet isolation and bypass valves. This could cause valves to fail and interrupt steam flow to the TD EFW Pump.
Applicant agreed to include the SFPC pump casing.
Scoping and Screening Inspection Results Switchyard Control House The applicant included the SUT breaker cables, however did not include the cables supporting structure.
Applicant agreed to include the entire structure.
Scoping and Screening Inspection Results Results of this inspection were documented in Inspection Report 2004-06
