DRAFT REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (D-RAI)

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION January 5, 2005 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (the staff) and representatives of Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) held a telephone conference call on January 5, 2005, to discuss and clarify the staffs draft request for additional information (D-RAI) concerning the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, license renewal application (LRA). The following D-RAI was discussed during the telephone conference call.

Section 2.3.4 Steam and Power Conversion Systems 2.3.4.2 Feedwater and Condensate System D-RAI 2.3.4.2-4 In a letter dated November 16, 2004, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requested additional information regarding the Auxiliary Systems (LRA Section 2.3.3) and Steam and other Balance of Plant (BOP) Systems in LRA Sections 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 respectively. PBNP response to this request was submitted to the NRC in Nuclear Management Company, LLC letter dated December 22, 2004. The NRC review of the PBNP response to RAI 2.3.4.2-1 identified two follow-up questions regarding the scoping for the small bore branch piping from the NSR portion of the 16" main feed water header (FW) between the feed regulating valve and the downstream steam generator FW inlet check valve:

1. Recognizing the NRC would not require a formal HELB evaluation be performed on piping 1-inch and less, did PBNP perform any evaluation (i.e., walkdown, etc.) to confirm that a break in the branch piping would not impact any safety related equipment in the immediate vicinity of the possible break location?

2. Please discuss flooding associated with a failure in the branch piping and its impact on safety related equipment.

Discussion: The applicant indicated that the question is clear. This D-RAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
