The staff was unclear why a 10-year inspection frequency was adequate. The staff was also unclear if the applicant had any cables at a voltage between 400-480V that are within the scope of license renewal. The applicant stated that it would revise its inspection frequency to once every 6 years; it had no in-scope cables at voltages between 400-480 V, and agreed to supplement its response to RAI B2.1.26-3 to address the staff's concerns.

In its response, the applicant stated that event-driven inspections are not performed because significant water ingress and retention in the in-scope pull boxes. The applicant stated that this is because the boxes are designed to drain down-hill toward plant structures/sumps, to automatic pump equipped sumps which pump to structure sumps. However, the staff was not clear on the details of the drainage system, or management of the sump pumps. The applicant agreed to supplement its response to RAI B2.1.26-3 to address the staff's concern.
