D.C.Cook - Draft RAI re. Extension of CISI Interval (TAC MD6083, MD6084)

Bob:

We are reviewing your 7/17/07 request for relief to extend the containment ISI (CISI) interval to match the ISI interval. Our reviewer Farhad Farzam had written the following draft RAI questions that we would like to discuss with you in a conference call. Please contact me to set up the conference call. We plan to issue the questions as a formal RAI by about 11/16/07 with or without the proposed conference call.

(1) In Section 5.0 of the attachment to the 7/17/07 letter, I&M proposed that the first interval for the Containment In service Inspection (CISI) be extended approximately 18 months from September 9, 2008 to March 1, 2010. The extension will permit I&M to achieve a common interval start date and a common In-service Inspection (ISI) code with the ISI program. I&M also states that the code of record for the updated (2010) ISI and CISI programs will be the latest edition incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2) twelve months prior to March 1, 2010. These statements imply that March 1, 2010 applies to both Units 1 and 2. Please provide a table showing the current and proposed Units 1 and 2 ISI and CISI inspection interval dates and to clarify the statement relative to the code of record in the first paragraph of Section 5.0, "Proposed Alternative and Basis for Use."

(2) The second paragraph of Section 5.0 of the attachment states that there are no augmented examination areas for either Unit 1 or Unit 2. This statement indicates that all surface areas (e.g., leak chase channels, sump liner) listed in IWE-1240 as likely areas requiring augmented examination and other areas such as space between ice baskets and the liner have been found acceptable and were not inspected in accordance with the augmented examination requirements of Table IWE 2500-1. Please provide further information relative to this statement, IWE-1240 and the Examination Category E C of Table IWE-2500-1 as applicable to the CNP Units 1 and 2.

(3) Please confirm and provide pertinent information that the examination and tests (required by the CISI program) performed during recent inspections have satisfied the acceptance standards contained within Articles IWE-3000 and IWL-3000.

The sole purpose of this e-mail is to prepare you and others for the proposed conference call. This e-mail does not convey a formal NRC staff position, and does not formally request for additional information.
