We have completed our inspections in accordance with the guidance contained in Manual Chapter 2516 and Inspection Procedure 71002, in close coordination with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. The inspection verified that AmerGen Energy Company implemented the scoping and screening methodology and established aging management programs in conformance with the descriptions contained in their applications for license renewal. Our inspection, of selected systems, structures and components, verified, with reasonable assurance, the acceptability of the existing or proposed management programs for managing the affects of aging. The inspection also reviewed actions taken to address issues raised by the NRC. We also verified the documentation used to support the application was in an auditable form. Details about the scope and results of our inspections are contained in NRC Inspection Report IR 05000219-06-07 (ML062650059), dated September 21, 2006.As a result of our inspection effort, we have determined that AmerGen Energy Company'sprograms and activities related to the license renewal application process for Oyster Creek Generating Station have been completed in agreement with docketed commitments and regulatory requirements. Within the above inspection scope, we have determined that AmerGen Energy Company demonstrated the capability to manage the effects of aging during the period of extended operation.
