License Renewal Aging Management Program Audit Plan Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant
- 1.
Background
By letter dated November 23, 2009, Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54) for renewal of Operating License Nos. DPR-80 and DPR-82 for Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCPP), respectively. PG&E requested renewal of the operating licenses for an additional 20 years beyond the current 40-year license terms, which expire on November 2, 2024 (Unit 1) and August 26, 2025 (Unit 2). The staff from the Division of License Renewal will lead an on-site regulatory audit to gain a better understanding of the documentation and bases for those aging management programs (AMPs) for which PG&E claims consistency with NUREG-1801, Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report.

Regulatory Audit Scope The scope of this regulatory audit includes those plant AMPs for which PG&E claims consistency with NUREG-1801. It is incumbent on the applicant to ensure that the plant AMP is consistent with the elements of the referenced GALL program or to provide a suitable alternative. The regulatory audit may also include a verification of the aging management review results.
