REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELIEF REQUEST NO. 22 FOR EXTENSION OF FIRST CISIINTERVAL R.E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-244
- 1. Considering the approximately 16-month extension of the first Containment Inservice Inspection (CISI) interval requested in the Reference relief request, provide the following information:
(a) The proposed start and end dates and code of record for the next (second) 120 month CISI interval, covering IWE and IWL inspections, that would align with the next lSI interval.
(b) The approximate date(s) of the last refueling outage/cycle, as pertinent, in which all the required IWE and IWL inspections for the current (first) CISI interval were completed, as stated in the relief request.
(c) The approximate date(s) of the first refueling outage/cycle, as pertinent, in which IWE and IWL inspections for the next (second) CISI interval are proposed to begin.
(d) Indicate if there will be any refueling outages between the two outages referred to in items (b) and (c) above and the plan for IWElIWL inspections, if any, for that outage. Indicate the interval to which these inspections, if any, will be credited.
- 2. Provide the highlights of the findings of the recent IWE and IWL examinations (required by the CISI program) during the first CISI interval and their disposition. Indicate if there are any areas requiring/undergoing augmented examination and how they are being implemented, if applicable.
- 3. Note 1 in Section 1 "ASME Code Component(s) Affected" of the Relief Request states that:
"Applicability to Subsection IWL is limited to the referencing of the Code of Record in program documents and to the update of program procedures to the new Code requirements. Subsection IWL inspection frequencies will remain unchanged." Explain and clarify the meaning and implication of the note in the context of the relief request applicable to the first CISI interval, which under the original interval plan ended on September 8, 2008, and already had a code of record with program procedures and inspection frequencies in accordance with that code of record.
