SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL DAVIS-BESSE LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION AUGUST 22, 2011 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC or the applicant) held a telephone conference call on August 22, 2011, to discuss and clarify the following response to requests for additional information (RAls) concerning the Davis-Besse license renewal application (LRA).

Discussion:

Response to RAI 3.2.2.2.3.6-2 LRA Table 3.2.2-2, row 20 stainless steel piping components exposed to moist air are being managed for cracking by the One-Time Inspection Program. The AMR items cite generic note H. The AMR item also cites plant-specific note 0202, which states that the One-Time Inspection is being used to confirm the absence of aging effects or that aging is slow acting so as to not affect the subject component's intended function during the period of extended operation. By letter dated May 2, 2011, the staff issued RAI 3.2.2.1.26-1 requesting that the applicant justify its use of the One-Time Inspection Program for managing these aging effects. In its response of June 3, 2011, the applicant stated that this item was deleted. However, the staff noted there was no evidence of this in the applicant letter dated May 24, 2011.

On this item, the applicant did not clarify whether a proper periodic program will be used above the air water interface to manage this aging. RAI 3.2.2.2.3.6-2 was issued requesting resolution of this issue in the Containment Spray System.

In its response dated August 17, 2011, the applicant did not state for Table 3.2.2-2, row 20, stainless steel piping in moist air (internal) exposed to cracking in the Containment Spray System, whether that item was a) retained in the One-Time Inspection program, b} documented for deletion or c} updated with an aging management program.

The staff finds the applicant's response not acceptable because the resolution concerning this item is incomplete.

The applicant responded by stating that it will provide a supplement to its response by Friday, August 26,2011, and the supplement will change the inspection from the One-Time Inspection Program to the Miscellaneous Internals Program. The staff agreed and had no further questions.

- 2 Response to the Supplemental Response - One-Time Inspection Methods The staff stated that LRA Section A.1.30 is not in the enclosure and the teleconference in which this issue was discussed was held on August 2, 2011. The staff would like to clarify the reason why Section A.1.30 wasn't amended and also clarify the date in which the teleconference was held.

The applicant stated that LRA Section A.1.30 was inadvertently listed in the response, but that LRA Section A.1.30 did not need to be revised to include the table that was added to Section 8.2.30 in the August 17, 2011, letter enclosure. Section A.1.30 will be removed from the response and the corrected teleconference date of August 2, 2011, would be provided in a supplemental response that will be sent out by August 26, 2011. The staff agreed and had no further questions.

There was no further discussion, and the call was concluded.
