Discussionof RAI 2.3.3.9-8, resulted in the Entergy action to assess whether fire suppression systemshfor several transformers are within scope. Discussions regarding the trash racks, traveling screens and the jib crane resulted in an Entergy explanation as to why these components are considered out of scope. The discussion of the transmission towers resulted in the confirmation that the towers are represented in LRA table 2.4-5. Entergy stated that the commitment to BWRVIP-94 is reflected in Entergy procedure ENN-DC-135 and that a commitment to BWRVIP-76 will be addressed in a pending LRA amendment.
