If these components are excluded from the scope of license renewal and not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.

Discussion: The applicant indicated that the question is clear. This D-RAI will be sent as a formal RAI. During the telephone conference, the staff asked about fire hydrants, hose reels, and hose connections on LRA drawing LRA-9321-4006-0. The applicant understands the question and acknowledged that this additional request will be added to the formal RAI.

D-RAI 2.3.3.11-2 LRA Section 2.3.3.11 discusses requirements for the fire water supply system but does not mention trash racks and traveling screens for the fire pump suction water supply. Trash racks and traveling screens are located upstream of the fire pump suctions to remove any major debris from fresh or raw water. Trash racks and traveling screens are necessary to remove debris from and prevent clogging of the fire protection water supply system. Trash racks and traveling screens are typically considered to be passive, long-lived components. Both trash racks and traveling screens are located in a fresh or raw water/air environment and are typically constructed of carbon steel. Carbon steel in a fresh or raw water environment or water/air environment is subject to loss of material, pitting, crevice formation, and microbiologically influenced corrosion, and fouling. The staff requests that the applicant explain the apparent exclusion of the trash racks and traveling screens that are located upstream of the fire pump suctions from the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a) and subject to an AMR in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1).

Discussion: The applicant referred the staff to license renewal drawing LRA-9231-4006 at location H4. Therefore, this question is withdrawn and will not be sent as a formal RAI.

These water spray systems do not appear in LRA Section 2.3.3.11 as being in the scope of the license renewal and subject to an AMR. The staff requests that the applicant verify whether these water spray systems for the electrical tunnel, diesel generator building, and containment fan cooler charcoal filter are in the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a) and subject to an AMR in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1). If they are excluded from the scope of license renewal and not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.

Discussion: The applicant referred the staff to license renewal drawing LRA-227551-0, details B and C. Therefore, this question is withdrawn and will not be sent as a formal RAI.

D-RAI 2.3.3.11-4 Section 5.8.4 of the SER dated January 31, 1979, discusses the cable tunnel closed head pre-action sprinkler system. The closed head pre-action sprinkler system does not appear in LRA Section 2.3.3.11 as being in the scope of the license renewal and subject to an AMR.

If they are excluded from the scope of license renewal and not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.

Discussion: The applicant referred the staff to license renewal drawing LRA-227551-0, detail B. Therefore, this question is withdrawn and will not be sent as a formal RAI.

D-RAI 2.3.3.11-5 Section 3.1.5 of the SER dated March 6, 1979, discusses two 2500 gpm fire pumps, one electric motor driven and one diesel engine driven, along with two jockey pumps.

The staff requests that the applicant verify whether the jockey pumps and their associated components are in the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a) and subject to an AMR in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1). If they are excluded from the scope of license renewal and not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.

Discussion: The applicant referred the staff to license renewal drawings LRA-227553-0 and LRA-9321-40903-0. Therefore, this question is withdrawn and will not be sent as a formal RAI.

D-RAI 2.5-1 General Design Criterion 17 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, requires that electric power from the transmission network to the onsite electric distribution system be supplied by two physically independent circuits to minimize the likelihood of their simultaneous failure. In addition, the guidance provided by letter dated April 1, 2002, Staff Guidance on Scoping of Equipment Relied on to Meet the Requirements of the Station Blackout (SBO) Rule (10 CFR 50.63) for License Renewal (10 CFR 54.4(a)(3)), states:

For purposes 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. This path typically includes switchyard circuit breakers that connect to the offsite system power transformers (startup transformers), the transformers themselves, the intervening overhead or underground circuits between circuit breaker and transformer and transformer and onsite electrical system, and the associated control circuits and structures. Ensuring that the appropriate offsite power system long-lived passive structures and components that are part of this circuit path are subject to an AMR will assure that the bases underlying the SBO requirements are maintained over the period of extended license.

According to the above, both paths, from the safety-related 480 Volt (V) buses to the first circuit breaker from the offsite line, used to control the offsite circuits to the plant should be age managed. The guidance does not specify that the switchyard is not part of the plant system nor that the switchyard does not need to be included in the scope of license renewal. Explain in detail which high voltage breakers and other components in the switchyard will be connected from the startup transformers up to the offsite power system for the purpose of SBO recovery.

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

D-RAI 2.5-2 Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 95-10, Industry Guideline for Implementing the Requirements of 10 CFR Part 54 - The License Renewal Rule, Appendix B indicates that elements, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), sensors, thermocouples and transducers should be included in the list of components/commodity groups subject to an AMR if a pressure boundary is applicable. Explain why these components are not included in Section 2.5 of the LRA.

Discussion: The applicant stated that LRA Section 2.1.3.1 provides an explanation; however, this information did not address the staffs concern in its entirety. Therefore, this D-RAI will be sent as a formal RAI.

D-RAI 2.5-3 NEI 95-10, Appendix B indicates that electrical splices, terminal blocks, control cables and isolated-phase bus should be included in the commodity group of cables & connections, bus, electrical portions of electrical and I&C penetration assemblies. Explain why these components are not included in Section 2.5 of the LRA.

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