SEABROOK STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Set 17 Follow-up RAI 8.2.1.30-2
Background
In its response to RAI B.2.1.30-2, dated January 13, 2011, the applicant stated that the personnel performing the visual examination of concrete surfaces prior to Integrated Leak Rate Test are not qualified in accordance with IWA-2300. There is no requirement in 10 CFR SO.SSa that Appendix J general visual inspection personnel be qualified per IWA-2300. The application further stated that this is a general inspection of the containment surface for any apparent degradation that would cause failure of the Integrated Leak Rate Test.
Issue In its response, the applicant did not provide any information about the qualification of the personnel performing the visual examination. In addition, the response did not provide any specific quantitative acceptance criteria for inspection of the containment interior and exterior surfaces. In addition, the staff reviewed the applicant's "complex procedure" as well as procedure EX1803.004, "Containment and Containment Enclosure Surface Inspection," and did not find information about the qualification of the personnel or any quantitative acceptance criteria that will define severe cracks, spalling, popouts, surface voids, or other irregularities.
Request Please provide information about the qualification of the personnel performing the general visual inspection of the accessible interior and exterior surfaces of the containment system for structural deterioration which may affect the containment leak-tight integrity conducted prior to each Type A test, and at a periodic interval between the Type A tests. In addition, provide the acceptance criteria used for these inspections.
