RAI2.5-1 There has been operating experience regarding the failure of cable tie-wraps caused by the age related brittleness of the plastic material. These cable tie-wraps would be considered long-lived passive components depending on whether they have a credited design function. In LRA Section 2.5, the electrical commodity groups subject to aging management review are described. Explain how Grand Gulf manages the aging of cable tie-wraps if they are credited in the plant design basis. In addition, justify why the cable tie-wraps are not included within the scope of license renewal.
