Please provide information to clarify why transmission connections are not included with transmission conductors as per requirements of 10 CFR.54.21(a)1, and (a)2.

RAI 2.5-2 In the LRA, the applicant does not identify uninsulated ground conductors as within the scope of license renewal and require an AMR. Please provide information to explain why the uninsulated ground conductors are not in scope of license renewal as per requirements of 10 CFR.54.21(a)1, and (a)2.

As It Relates to theStation Blackout Rule (10CFR 50.63), states, in part, that The offsite power systems consist of a transmission system (grid) component that provides a source of power and a plant system component that connects the power source to a plants onsite electrical distribution systems which power safety equipment. For the purpose of the license renewal rule, the staff has determined that the plant system portion of the offsite power system that is used to connect the plant to the offsite power source should be included within the scope of the rule.

A.

Please provide a detail description of the NMP recovery path and discuss how the recovery path is consistent with scoping and screen results described in Section 2.5 of the LRA. Also, please provide a one line diagram with redline showing the recovery path of Station Blackout (SBO).

B.

Please identify the location of each commodity group component in the recovery path circuits. Do the SBO recovery path circuits include the control circuit wiring that is associated with the power circuits shown on the drawings? If not, please explain why? Are there any underground (both outside and inside) power circuits used in the SBO recovery paths?

If so, were they identified as requiring an AMR? If not, please explain why?
