REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING SECTION 4.6 OF THE SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1 AND UNIT 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION RAI4.6-01

Background

In license renewal application (LRA) Section 2.3.3.9, "Scoping and Screening," the applicant listed a total of 33 cranes and hoists as in~scope for license renewal. Table 3.3.2-9 of the LRA requires a time-limited aging analysis (TLAA) of crane/hoist bridge/trolley girders for aging management due to cumulative fatigue damage/fatigue in accordance with GALL Report recommendations.

LRA Section 4.6 "Crane Load Cycle Limit," identified TLAA for only three cranes: "Polar Gantry Crane," "Fuel Handling Crane," and the "Cask Handling Crane." TLAA for other in~scope cranes with girders are not provided in LRA Section 4.6.

Request Explain why a TLAA for other cranes with girders is not included in the LRA. The staff needs this information to confirm that an evaluation of the fatigue of the in-scope crane girders has been performed that will remain valid for the period of extended operation as required by 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i).
