(Entergy), submitted an application for relief request P-1 for the fourth 10-year interval inservice testing program at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2 (IP2). This relief would allow testing of the containment recirculation pumps at a lower flow rate than that specified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants, 2001 Edition through 2003 Addenda. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is reviewing the submittal and has the following questions:
RAI P-1-01 Per Section 5.10 of NUREG-1482, Rev. 1, Guidelines for Inservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants, please provide the following for each containment recirculation pump (21RP and 22RP):
(a) The estimated cost of any temporary or permanent system modification required to enable a comprehensive pump test (CPT) to be performed at +/-20 percent of pump design flow, along with any difficulty associated with implementing the modification.
(b) Provide all details (e.g., temporary modifications of piping, containment sump, etc.),
including pump performance curves, if a full-flow test was performed during preservice or service of the plant.
(c) The pump performance curve was submitted with the relief request. Provide any other data associated with the pumps shop testing provided by the manufacturer.
(d) Provide the records and history of maintenance and repairs performed on each pump.
RAI-P-1-02 Provide justification that pump degradation can be adequately assessed at the proposed CPT flow rate.
RAI-P-1-03 Provide information to show that the pumps will not be adversely affected by operating at the proposed CPT flow rate.
