Discussion: The applicant indicated that this request had been addressed in a letter to the NRC dated January 27, 2012. The NRC staff reviewed the letter dated January 27, 2012 and confirmed that these items have been addressed. Therefore, this DRAI will not be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.8-1 License renewal boundary drawings LR-M-20 Sheets 8 and 14, location F-5, depict ejector casings that are within the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). However, the ejector casing is not listed in Table 2.3.3-8 as a component type subject to an aging management review (AMR).
Justify the exclusion of the ejector casing component type from LRA Table 2.3.3-8.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.8-2 License renewal boundary drawings LR-M-20 Sheets 8 and 14, locations B-4 and D-4, depict turbo charger casings that are within the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
However, the turbo charger casing is not listed in Table 2.3.3-8 as a component type subject to an AMR.
Justify the exclusion of the turbo charger casing component type from LRA Table 2.3.3-8.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.8-3 License renewal boundary drawings LR-M-20 Sheets 8 and 14, location F-3, depict exhaust silencer housings that are within the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1). However, the exhaust silencer housing is not listed in Table 2.3.3-8 as a component type subject to an AMR.
Justify the exclusion of the exhaust silencer component type from LRA Table 2.3.3-8.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.8-4 License renewal boundary drawings LR-M-20 Sheets 3 and 9, locations D-3 and D-7, depict flame arrestor housings that are within the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
However, the flame arrestor housing that is not listed in Table 2.3.3-8 as a component type subject to an AMR.
Justify the exclusion of the flame arrestor housing component type from LRA Table 2.3.3-8.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.8-5 LRA Section 2.1.1 states that the in-scope portions of mechanical systems and structures are highlighted in color on the license renewal boundary drawings. For the Emergency Diesel Generator System, the applicant includes the diesel engines within the license renewal scoping boundary.
License renewal boundary drawings LR-M-20 Sheets 3 and 9, location F-5, depict diesel engines 1AG501 and 2AG501 as not being within the scope of license renewal. Although the applicant states in Note 7 that the in-scope fuel oil supply system boundary stops at the fuel injectors of the diesel generator due to the fuel injectors being excluded from aging management review, the license renewal boundary drawings appear to contradict the applicants methodology for highlighting the in-scope components (the diesel engines) as described in LRA Section 2.1.1.
Justify why the diesel engines depicted on license renewal boundary drawings LR-M-20 Sheets 3 and 9 are indicated as not being within the scope of license renewal.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.12-1 License renewal boundary drawings LR-M-10 Sheets 5 and 10, locations H-2 and H-4, depict the 6" JBD-107/207 and 6" JBD-132/232 lines as being within the scope of license renewal based on the criteria in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) with continuations to and from license renewal boundary drawings LR-M-10 Sheets 3 and 8. However, the continuations of these lines on license renewal boundary drawings, LR-M-10 Sheets 3 and 8, are depicted as not being within the scope of license renewal.
Clarify the correct scoping classification of these pipe lines.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.13-1 On license renewal boundary drawing, LR-M-64 Sheet 1, location G-8, the continuation of the pipe line depicted within the scope of license renewal could not be found in any other license renewal boundary drawings.
Locate the continuation line for the above location. If the continuation line cannot be shown on license renewal boundary drawings, then provide additional information describing the extent of the scoping boundary and verify whether or not there are additional AMR component types between the continuation and the termination of the scoping boundary. If the scoping classification of a section of the piping changes over the continuation, provide additional information to clarify the change in scoping classification.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.14-1 LRA Section 2.1 describes the applicants scoping methodology, which specifies how systems or components were determined to be included in scope of license renewal. The staff confirms
the inclusion of all components subject to AMR by reviewing the results of the screening of components within the license renewal boundary.
On license renewal boundary drawing LR-M-59 Sheet 1, location C-6, the applicant depicts Note 5, which states This piping is included in scope out to the seismic anchor credited for structural support of the safety-related piping located as shown. The nonsafety-related piping beyond this anchor location is not in scope. However, the 1" JCD-109 pipe continues in red, designating the piping as being within the scope of license renewal for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), from Note 5 to the end of the pipe and including the drawing continuation marker to drawing LR-M-59 Sheet 2, at location F-1. The continuation marker on Sheet 2 also shows the pipe still in scope for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) and has another Note 5, the same as Sheet 1, where the transition is actually made from red to black to indicate the 1" JCD-109 pipe continuation changed to not being in scope for license renewal. For LGS, Unit 2, LRA drawing LR-M-59 Sheet 3, location C-6, the 1" JCD-209 pipe has the same Note 5 and there is an immediate transition from red to black, so the remainder of the pipe up to and including the continuation marker is no longer in scope as the Note 5 indicates. There also is no duplicate Note 5 on Sheet 4.
Clarify why the 1" JCD-109 pipe scope does not agree with Note 5 on LRA drawing LR-M-59 Sheet 1. Also clarify why there are differences in scoping between the 1" JCD-109 pipeline on Sheets 1 and 2 and the 1" JCD-209 pipeline on Sheets 3 and 4.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.14-02 License renewal boundary drawing LR-M-59 Sheet 3, location H-6, depicts a line not highlighted within the scope of license renewal. However, the line is connected to a continuation marker from drawing LR-M-42 Sheet 3, location A-3, which depicts the continuation marker to be highlighted green and in scope for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1).
Clarify the scoping classification of the pipe line.

DRAI 2.3.3.9-1 The staff notes that license renewal boundary drawing LR-M-22, Sheet 5, at location F3, shows the cable spreading rooms fire walls and associated components including fire doors, fire dampers, and penetration seals as out of scope (i.e., not colored in green). The staff requests that the applicant verify whether the cable spreading rooms fire walls and associated components 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). The staff requested that, if these fire walls and associated components are excluded from the scope of license renewal and are not subject to an AMR, the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI.
DRAI 2.3.3.9-2 The following license renewal application (LRA) boundary drawings shows the following fire protection systems/components as out of scope (i.e., not colored in green):
LRA Drawing Systems/Components Location Fire water suppression systems associated with LR-M-22, Sheet 2 Safeguard Transformer (0AX103), Auxiliary H3 Transformer (10X102), and Spare Transformer (10X101)

Fire water suppression systems associated with LR-M-22, Sheet 4 Unit 2 Main Transformers (2AX101), (2BX101), and H3 (2CX101)
The staff requests that the applicant verify whether the fire protection systems/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.
Discussion: The applicant clarified on the conference call that the drawings did not indicate structures within the scope of license renewal and that items discussed in the RAI are included in the scope of license renewal. The staff verified in the drawings that the drawings specifically noted that structures were not colored to annotate inclusion within the scope of license renewal and also verified the description in the LRA was adequate. Therefore, the staff will not issue this DRAI because sufficient information exist on the docket to satisfy the staffs concern.
ENCLOSURE 2
DRAI 2.3.3.9-3 The source of water for the fire protection system at Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 is a pair of cooling tower basins, each of which has a capacity of 7,200,000 gallons. Section 9.5.1.6.7, Supplement No. 2, NUREG-0991, Safety Evaluation Report related to the operation of Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, dated October 1984, states that suction lines to the fire pump are arranged so that if one of the cooling towers becomes unavailable, the suction line can be switched to the functional tower.
The staff requests that the applicant verify whether the fire protection water supply components including suction lines to the fire pump and valves are 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 they are excluded from the scope of license renewal and not subject to an AMR, the staff requests that the applicant provide justification for the exclusion.
Discussion: The applicant clarified on the conference call that the drawings LR-M-9, Sheets 3, 8, and 9 highlight fire protection water supply components including suction lines to the fire pump and valves. The staff verified that the fire protection water supply components including suction lines to the fire pump and valves in question are highlighted and colored in green on the drawings LR-M-9, Sheets 3, 8, and 9. Therefore, the staff will not issue this DRAI because sufficient information exists on the docket to satisfy the staffs concern.
DRAI 2.3.3.9-4 LRA Tables 2.3.3-9 and 3.3.2-9 of the LRA do not include the following fire protection components:
- fire hose stations, fire hose connections, and hose racks
- fire protection water curtain systems in the reactor enclosures and hatchways
- floor drains for fire water
- passive components in fire protection water and foam solution storage tank heat exchangers
- fire dampers
- fire retardant coating (fireproofing material) for structural steel members
- passive components in diesel driven fire pump engine
- passive components in lighting plant protection system (NFPA 78, Lighting Protection Code)
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.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI. This RAI will be renumbered and will be issued as RAI 2.3.3.9-2 to account for the deletion of DRAI 2.3.3.9-2 and DRAI 2.3.3.9-3 as discussed above.
DRAI 2.3.3.9-5 Section 2.4, Scoping and Screening Results: Structures, of the LRA provides the scoping and screening results of various structures within the scope of license renewal and subject to an AMR. Further, Section 2.4 states that the fire barriers are evaluated separately with the Fire Protection System, LRA Section 2.3.3.9. LRA Table 2.3.3.9, includes fire barriers (doors), fire barriers (fire rated enclosures), fire barriers (for steel components), fire barriers (penetration seals), fire barriers (walls and slabs), that are subject to an AMR. The staff requests that the applicant provide a summary of the list of buildings or structures where fire barriers are credited, and the specific types of barriers at these locations in the plants fire protection program.
Discussion: The applicant indicated that the request is clear. This DRAI will be sent as a formal RAI. This RAI will be renumbered and will be issued as RAI 2.3.3.9-3 to account for the deletion of DRAI 2.3.3.9-2 and DRAI 2.3.3.9-3 as discussed above.
