REQUEST Provide additional information to locate the license renewal boundaries.

RAI 2.3-02 BACKGROUND:

License renewal rule 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1) requires applicants to identify and list all components subject to an AMR. The staff confirms inclusion of all components subject to AMR by reviewing the component types within the license renewal boundary.

ISSUE:

During the scoping and screening review process the continuation from one drawing to another was potentially identified but not definitively established.

2.3.3.2 Drawing LR-XH-1-40, locations D-2, D-4 and D-5, show 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) drain lines from the holdup tanks to valves 2VC-11-68, (no valve numbers located from tanks 11 and 121). These drain lines are continued to DH.

These three lines are believed to be continued on drawing LR-39248, location F-8.

2.3.3.8 Drawing LR-39255-1, location A-3, states that the drawing continuation pipe section 6-CL-124 continues To Cooling Water Return on drawing LR-39216-3. It was found that the more likely continuation location was G-3 on drawing LR-39217-2, on pipe section 6-CL-64, instead of pipe section 6-CL-124.

2.3.3.16 Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System The following RAI was generated as part of the scoping and screening review for the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System (SF) for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant LRA.

RAI 2.3.3.16-01

Background:

License renewal rule 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1) requires applicants to list all components subject to an AMR. The staff confirms inclusion of all components subject to an AMR by reviewing component types within the license renewal boundary.

Review of LRA Section 2.3.3.16 indicated that the fuel-transfer tube and blind flange are included as part of the SF System. In the System Function Listing subsection, the fuel-transfer tube is listed under Code SF-05, which applies to SCs relied upon to perform a Primary Containment Boundary Function. The fuel-transfer tube and blank flange with double O-Ring seal constitute the containment boundary. Therefore, the fuel-transfer tube meets the criterion for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). The fuel-transfer tube also meets the Code SF-SB requirement because it performs a containment isolation function that demonstrates compliance with 10 CFR 50.63, Station Blackout. Therefore, the fuel transfer tube is also in scope for license renewal per 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3).

Issue:

Although the fuel-transfer tube is in scope for license renewal per 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) and (a)(3), there was little information describing the fuel-transfer tube or the license renewal boundary in the LRA. A drawing was not provided. The fuel-transfer tube and blind flange are also not included in LRA Table 2.3.3-16.

Request:

1. Provide reference to a LRA drawing showing the fuel-transfer tube and license renewal boundaries.
2. Justify why the fuel-transfer tube and blank flange are not component types requiring an AMR in LRA Table 2.3.3-16, Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System.

2.3.3.17 Station and Instrument Air System The following RAIs were generated as part of the scoping and screening review for the SA System for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant LRA.

RAI 2.3.3.17-01

Background:

LRA Section 2.3.3.17, Station and Instrument Air System, states that piping and fittings are within the scope of license renewal per 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) and 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3) and have an intended function of providing a pressure boundary.

Issue:

Similar piping is in scope for different criteria. Drawing LR-39253-3, location F-7, shows several lines from air compressor (#125) as in scope for license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3). Drawing LR-39253-3, location C-7, also shows that similar lines from the air compressor (#124) are in scope for license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2). LRA Section 2.3.3-17, Station and Instrument Air System, does not indicate that any portion of the station and instrument air system is in scope for 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2).

Request:

1. Provide additional information explaining why there is a difference of scope classification between the lines out of air compressors #124 and #125 when both the compressors have essentially the same piping size, function, and destination that enables both units to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 54.4 (a).
2. If the sections of pipe currently in scope for 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2) on license renewal drawing LR-39253-3 remain in scope for 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2), explain why LRA Section 2.3.3.17 does not address components in scope for 10 CFR 54.4 (a)(2).
