POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (LRA)
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) 2.3.3.10 Essential Ventilation System RAI 2.3.3.10-1 (previously D-RAI 2.3.3.10-2)
The Essential Ventilation System as described in the Point Beach Final Safety Analysis Report (PBNP FSAR) Sections 9.8 and 9.8.3 include the control room ventilation system, which is designed to provide heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and radiological habitability for the control and computer rooms within the control room envelope. The Essential Ventilation System license renewal drawings LR-M-144 sheet 2 and LR-M-214 sheets 1 and 4 highlight chiller components as in scope that are not included in LRA table 2.3.3-10, Essential Ventilation System and LRA Table 3.3.2-9, Auxiliary Systems - Essential Ventilation System -
Summary of Aging Management Evaluation. For example, while the tables list piping and fittings, pump casing, heat exchangers and coolers etc., they do not list the chiller and associated components shown on LR-M-214 sheet 4 at location C-9 for the control room chill water system. Degradation of these components could adversely impact the ability of the control room ventilation system to carry out its intended functions. Clarify whether these components and all other applicable components of the chill water system are within the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10CFR 54.4(a), and subject to aging management review in accordance with 10CFR 54.21(a)(1). If these components are within the scope of license renewal, update the LRA by providing the applicable information in the appropriate LRA tables.
If these components are excluded from the scope of license renewal and not subject to an AMR, provide justification for the exclusion.
