As stated cc w/encl: Distribution via Listserv

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Request for Additional Information RAI 2.3.3.14-1 License renewal application (LRA) drawing LR-M016A shows that several yard fire hydrants and post indicator valves are out of scope (i.e., not colored in green). The staff believes that yard fire hydrants and post indicator valves have the fire protection intended functions required to be compliant with 10 CFR 50.48 as stated in 10 CFR 54.4. The fire hydrants and post indicator valves also serve as the pressure boundary for the fire protection water supply system.

The staff requests that the applicant verify whether the yard hydrants and post indicator valves are in the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a} and whether they are subject to an aging management review (AMR) in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (a)(1). If they are excluded from the scope of license renewal and are not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.

RAI 2.3.3.14-2 LRA drawing LR-M016B shows that the automatic sprinkler system for the No.1 Diesel Generator Room is in the scope of license renewal and subject to an AMR. However, the automatic sprinkler system for the No.2 Diesel Generator Room does not appear in the LRA drawings as being in the scope of license renewal and subject to an AMR.

The staff requests that the applicant verify whether the automatic sprinkler system for the No.2 Diesel Generator Room is in the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a) and subject to an AMR in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (a)(1). If the sprinkler system is excluded from the scope of license renewal and not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.

RAI 2.3.3.14-3 Tables 2.3.3-14 and 3.3.2-14 of the LRA do not include the following fire protection components:

fire hose stations, fire hose connections, and hose racks sprinkler heads floor drains for fire water dikes and curbs for oil spill confinement components in reactor coolant pump oil collection system The staff requests that the applicant verify whether the fire protection components listed above are in the scope of license renewal in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a} and whether they are subject to an AMR in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21(a}(1}. If they are excluded from the scope of license renewal and are not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.
