SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) FOR THE REVIEW OF THE DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Nazar:
By letter dated October 31, 2003, Indiana Michigan Power Company, (I&M or the applicant) submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54), to renew the operating licenses for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP),
Units 1 and 2, for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC staff is reviewing the information contained in the license renewal application (LRA) and has identified, in the enclosure, an area where additional information is needed to complete the review.
This RAI was discussed with your staff, Richard Grumbir, and a mutually agreeable date for this response is within 30 days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-4053 or e-mail JGR@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)
RAI B.1.29-1 Regarding detecting aging effects for selective leaching, GALL XI.M33, SELECTIVE LEACHING OF MATERIALS, states:
Detection of Aging Effects: The one-time visual inspection and hardness measurement includes close examination of a select set of components to determine whether selective leaching has occurred and whether the resulting loss of strength and/or material will affect the intended functions of these components during the period of extended operation. Selective leaching generally does not cause changes in dimensions and is difficult to detect. One acceptable procedure is to visually inspect the susceptible components closely and conduct Brinell Hardness testing on the inside surfaces of the selected set of components to determine if selective leaching has occurred. If it is occurring, an engineering evaluation is initiated to determine acceptability of the affected components for further service.
In your commitment regarding the method you will use for selective leaching you stated:
The Service Water System Reliability Program will be enhanced to check for selective leaching during visual inspections.
To be consistent with GALL, hardness testing or other acceptable physical test is required.
Your commitment does not indicate that the checking you do during visual inspections will include hardness testing or equivalent physical testing as required by GALL.
Please clearly state if hardness testing, or an acceptable equivalent test, will be part of your program. If not, identify, for NRC staff evaluation, the exception you are taking to GALL and the basis for that exception.
